Chapter 114: A Bloody Road

Princess Wenhua's heart fluttered, and a feeling called 'sweetness' quietly fermented. She smiled and couldn't help asking, "I ate and drank here excessively before, and I took a lot of it, but I don't know how much money it will cost......

Hua Niang hurriedly shook her head and said, "This proprietor has ordered, but I don't dare to tell you, but ...... The total amount of water in the Ning Xiang Building that day was more than 3,700 spirit stones, and the amount of materials used was not much different from the one taken away by the distinguished guests...... Oh, you see, my old woman has a lot of mouths. A few days ago, the guests did not drink much, and the proprietor was afraid that the guests did not like alcohol, so he also made a kind of thing called 'drink' for your guests, please wait. ”

With that, he walked out himself, and with great effort, he brought in a two-foot-high pot made entirely of hedrons, and inside was a pink liquid. The maids brought in a large vat filled with ice.

Hua Niang put the giant pot on the ice cube, opened the opening next to it, poured the liquid inside into two cups, and said with a smile: "Distinguished guests, please taste it, this is called ice flower dew." ”

Princess Wenhua can still be reserved, the little maid Qing'er picked up the cup, took a sip happily, and then said with a smile on her face and intoxication: "This is good, it is so delicious!" ”

Princess Wenhua also took a sip, tasted it carefully and said: "It's very delicious, the taste is even more strange, so sweet, and floral, but it's not good to say that it's that kind of flower and plant, but it seems to be used for everything, it's really strange." ”

Hua Niang smiled: "Since you like it, then you have to carry out the next process, and I hope that you will wait patiently." ”

After speaking, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms, which was extremely exquisite. Then he pulled out a handful of white powder from the cloth bag, and the princess noticed that the flower girl's hands were trembling.

Sprinkle the powder on top of the ice, and the temperature in the room will drop a bit, giving you a cool feeling.

The princess was curious, "What is this?" ”

Hua Niang swallowed her saliva and reluctantly said, "This is ...... Refined salt is extracted by the proprietor by secret methods, and this small handful alone is equivalent to a piece of salt stone...... Thanks to the owner's love, every person in Ningxianglou can get three taels of refined salt every month, but no one will use it, and it is a sin to say that we all sell these refined salts without telling the owner, and one or two ...... You can exchange it for a spirit stone! ”

Princess Wenhua's eyes couldn't help but tremble, and Qing'er's small mouth was already round, and her face was full of disbelief. So...... Just like that, didn't you just sprinkle a spirit stone out? This one handful...... It's all in ice...... What's going to be done?

But then, they found that layers of white gas had risen from the ice bucket, like a fairyland, and the ice dew in the pot had gradually formed ice crystals and was frozen. Hua Niang hurriedly stretched out her hand and gently shook the giant pot, and the ice crystals rose and dissolved, dissolved and reappeared...... In this way, a pot of ice syrup turned out to be 'sticky' and no longer so transparent.

Hua Niang opened the spout of the pot again and poured out the ice flower dew inside, this time it was no longer liquid, but ...... Ice Mud!

Hua Niang wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and said: "Distinguished guest, this is the original appearance of ice dew, like ice not ice, like water not water, like countless ice flowers gathered together, encapsulating the beauty of winter...... Please give it a try. ”

As soon as I drank it, it was really cold and interesting, and the taste was excellent.

Princess Wenhua took a drink, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sighed: "I thought that the emperor's house was too luxurious, and I didn't want to see it today, only to know that this little marquis can be called luxurious......"

She said it very gently, but Qing'er couldn't help it, and pouted: "He's a loser!" Public...... Miss, you have to take care of him in the future, if you waste it like this, no matter how big the family business is, you won't be able to hold it, and sooner or later he will be ruined! ”

Hua Niang was startled, then shook her head and said with a wry smile: "The proprietor ...... It is truly an unknown prophet, like a god-man......"

The two girls were stunned for a moment and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Hua Niang respectfully took out a pair of sheepskin scrolls from her arms, bowed down and said: "The proprietor handed this thing to the old man before leaving, saying that if the guests enjoy this ice dew and only feel very beautiful, don't talk about it over there." If the words accuse him of being a loser and a luxury, then he will offer it to his guest, and the proprietor will no longer ask how he uses it. ”

The princess frowned slightly, reached out and took the scroll, unfolded it, and was suddenly startled. Because above the scroll there is a row of large characters - 'The method of refining salt'!

Countless extremely detailed small patterns below, the characters are smart, and the outlines of the items are clear, and it can be seen at a glance that the above description is a detailed process, and the steps are extremely clear, even if you have not been exposed to metallurgy, you can understand it at a glance. It is all the processes of digging wells to extract salt.

The princess snapped the parchment scroll together again, and her liver jumped. This...... It's too much at stake! She is not an ignorant little girl who doesn't listen to what is going on outside the window, on the contrary, she is very clear about why she was given heavenly sin by her royal brother. The fundamental reason is that at the beginning, Heavenly Sin used this technique as a threat to openly ask His Majesty for himself, and His Majesty agreed.

Now I have it in my hand, that is...... Heavenly Sin gave up the opportunity to get her, which ...... It's a good thing, because the royal brother will no longer force himself, and every time he eats with him, he knocks on the side to let himself marry. But...... I don't know why, but the princess's mood is not a little happy, she ...... Instead, there was a little anger.

His voice was a little cold: "What else did your proprietor say?" ”

Hua Niang smiled bitterly: "The proprietor said that if the distinguished guests are ecstatic when they see this gift, then ...... The proprietor prepared a big gift to give it away, and hoped that the guests would not come again in the future, and if they wanted food and drinks, the store would move someone to send them. If the guest is not happy to see this gift, then ...... Hehe, first invite the guests to enjoy the banquet, there are three carts in the backyard to prepare, there are countless drinks and dishes in them, you can go back with the guests. There is also a small gift from the proprietor to the distinguished guest...... There is also the guest of honor, the maid's. ”

Qing'er's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Miss, are you happy or unhappy?" "Obviously thinking about the gift.

But the princess was silent, and did not speak for a long time, until the singing and dancing rose on the stage, and then she said slowly: "The singing and dancing here is intoxicating, and if you go first, it will be a waste." ”

She didn't answer directly, but anyone could understand the meaning.

The flower girl was overjoyed, hurriedly walked to the wall of the Mochizuki Pavilion, took down two small boxes from them, respectfully placed them on the table of the princess and Qing'er, and then exited the room.

Before leaving, the princess suddenly asked, "Did you already know the identity of the palace?" ”

Hua Niang smiled embarrassedly: "From the beginning of Her Royal Highness the princess entering the door." ”

When the princess heard this, it may be the first time in her life that she pouted, and said with some complaints: "Stinky little ghost, you would treat women like this at such an age...... Hmph, how can I get it in the future? ”

Then he turned his head to Hua Niang and said, "You sue him, this palace doesn't like him, and hates him very much." ”

Hua Niang smiled bitterly: "The little one is ...... to follow Yi's will."

After saying that, she hurriedly left the room, the window paper was pierced, and she couldn't be casual, so ...... I don't really want to enter this room.

On the same day, the princess's sedan chair was followed by three very large carriages, and Qing'er was more like a victorious general, walking in front, tilting her head and shaking her legs, and she was very angry. When I returned to the palace, I just walked into my Wenhua Palace, and found that countless women were already waiting there...... It's the middle of the night now, and everyone doesn't sleep honestly, what are they doing running out?! Aren't you afraid of blaming your majesty?

But...... That is, on this night, there was a heartfelt sound of women's cheers in the palace, many, big, and far away. Even His Majesty crawled out of the woman's bed, stunned, and then hurriedly ordered someone to put on clothes, and ran directly to Wenhua Palace, shouting as he ran: "Bring me the wine glass used by the emperor!" ”

That night, His Majesty had a long talk with Princess Wenhua until dawn. No one knew what they had talked about, except that His Majesty had left with a sheepskin scroll, and Princess Wenhua had begun to prepare some new clothes.

It's just that the 'sisters' in the palace have found an interesting thing, that is, Princess Wenhua and the little maid Qing'er have a new hairpin on their heads, and the hairpin is made of extremely simple materials, just gold mixed with some other metal, and the price is not worth a single spar. However, their workmanship is extremely luxurious, so detailed that people will be deeply 'sucked' into it at a glance, and the eyes can't be pulled out, so gorgeous that everyone thinks that this kind of craftsmanship on such cheap materials is a great crime, a heartbreaking 'waste'.

So they desperately asked where the hairpin came from, but Princess Wenhua, a gentle and lovely person who has always been responsive, refused, and only said that it was given by someone, which person? It has become the biggest heart disease of the women of the Forbidden Palace. They are jealous to death.

……

Dawan City is still so peaceful, and there seems to be a lot of intrigue in the palace.

But this qiē has completely changed with the fact that on this day, before the city gate was opened, a fast horse rushed from the shield of Nanming. It was as if a dark cloud came out of thin air, making everyone feel a sense of oppression.

Fierce horses, cloud-maned horses, peerless horses famous in the mainland, equivalent to four-grade demon beasts, rushing thousands of miles a day. But such a horse with the best bloodline swayed a bloody path on the streets of Dawan City leading directly to the Imperial City, which was shocking.

Afterwards, twelve thunder drums rang out in Dawan City, and all the inhabitants of Dawan City knew what this meant. War, war never far away from them, occasional blindness, frequent prayer and disgust, but it will always come abruptly one morning.

His Majesty once again issued a fate, and all the civil and military officials in Dawan City went to the court to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy.
