"What? The Emperor's private seal? Can common folk like us even get a look at the Emperor's private seal?"
"Exactly! That official gazette they're selling at Liufang Bookstore doesn't just have the Emperor's private seal, but the seal of the Lord Governor of Jingzhao Mansion, too!"
"What! You can buy and sell things like that?"
"Of course! From what I've heard, they even have the private seal of the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Anyone who hears about this would want to buy a copy to display at home! Even if it doesn't do anything else, both Lord Shaoqing and the Lord Governor of Jingzhao Mansion are men of extraordinary talent and literary genius. It'd be great if some of that genius would rub off on my bratty son!"
This was how the rumor started to spread.
It was gradually exaggerated, drawing more and more people to Liufang Bookstore.
Before long, Ming Lingyi and Feng Shuyu, who were sitting on the open-air rooftop, could hear the clamor coming from downstairs.
