The "Lingfei Treasure Ship" has five masts and seven sails, with four floors from the bilge to the deck. The top floor is the amidship, and Princess Qingle lives on the second floor, which is gorgeous like a palace. Engraving Seiko. Beautifully decorated. The extravagance of Liu Jixing of the Southern Han Dynasty can be seen.

Zhou Xuan followed the inner pass down through the hatch. The four idiots followed him. Behind the Four Idiots. Lihu led the golden retriever Lulu and followed -U Bo 0

Wang Shizhang's house slave Lihu was very stupid and loyal, and Wang Shizhang instructed him to recognize Zhou Xuan as his master. He followed Zhou Xuan all day and night, and also led Lulu.

Princess Qingle greeted her with a few eunuchs and palace eunuchs. At a glance, when he saw the golden retriever behind Zhou Xuan, he was a little scared. Asked: "Cousin Xuan." Why did you bring the dog to the ship?"

As soon as Princess Qingle said this, Zhou Xuan remembered the spices in the small silver bottle that Wang Shizhang gave him. said, "Princess." The sunset over the sea is spectacular. I accompanied the princess to the deck to have a look, and I had something to say to the princess. ”

Princess Qingle followed Zhou Xuan to the deck and breathed a long sigh of relief facing the sea. Looking at the snow boar prince's ship "Shunji" sailing in front of him, he muttered: "If only the Han Kingdom was far away in the sky, it would never be there." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Get by." Cherish the beautiful scenery in front of you is the person who is expansive. Princess, you see. Isn't it amazing that a red sun is about to set in the sea, and that sea serpent is dancing like a golden snake?"

Princess Qingle didn't think so much about Zhou Xuan, and said dissatisfiedly: "Cousin Xuan." You're free. I don't want you to marry the prince of the snow pig, of course you have to get by, and every time this big ship goes west, my heart aches, and it hurts all the time. It hurts all the time, but I'm afraid that if I can't get to Xingwangfu, I'll die of heartache. ”

Zhou Xuan looked at Princess Qingle with her hands in her heart, frowning and looking coquettish. Holding a heavy ripe fruit. smiled and said, "Does the princess also learn from Dong Shi?"

If it is in Jingxu Palace. Zhou Xuan made this joke, Princess Qingle was very likely to lose her temper, but now. I don't know if I have a request for Zhou Xuan. Or is it because I am far away from my parents and a little frustrated by my arrogance. just said quietly: "In the eyes of Cousin Xuan, am I really that ugly?" Isn't it as good as your Imperial Physician Qin, Su Suzhen and Yang Xiaofeng?"

Zhou Xuan glanced at the people who were rumored to be on the side, and paid attention to the impact of their speech, and changed the topic: "Princess, aren't you looking for me to have something?" Please speak. ”

Princess Qingle sat on the deck. There was a "bang" sound, and he was angry: "Cousin Xuan, you haven't answered my words yet!"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Zhuangzi said, 'Great beauty is speechless'. Needless to say, the beauty of the princess is not at all, the earth, everyone in the world knows that the first beauty of the Tang Kingdom is worthy of her name. ”

Princess Qingle said: "What a great beauty is speechless, I love to listen to praise." "Don't follow them. She took a few steps towards the stern. Show...... Yi Zhou Xuan followed. The two men walked to the middle of the big boat. It was thirty steps away from Feng Ah Jian, the four idiots and the others.

Princess Qingle said: "Cousin Xuan." I haven't been able to talk to you properly these days. It's good now. There are no Han people. Feel at ease.

Zhou Xuan said: "The sailors of the boat master are all Han Chinese. That's right. Let the princess go with me to the bilge to see the shipwrights and sailors. When each person gives some possessions, he buys people's hearts. ”

Princess Qingle nodded and said, "Okay, Cousin Xuan is thoughtful. Go now. ”

Zhou Xuan ordered the head of the internal transmission to immediately prepare one hundred and eighteen gifts, nothing more than silver taels, cloth and other things. Helmsmen, pan masters, handymen, pinnacles, sailors, civil captains, iron anchors. Carpenter, timber maker. One copy per person.

After the distribution of the boatmen on the deck, Zhou Xuan accompanied Princess Qingle down to the bottom cabin to distribute gifts to those sailors and hands who have not seen the light of day all year round.

These sailors and sailors were the meanest of the shipwrights. Originally, the officials of the Southern Han Dynasty on the ship were extremely mean and cruel. The sailors were very oppressed, and when they saw that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, who was as beautiful as a fairy, came to visit them in person and gave them gifts, they were so grateful that their voices choked up and shouted: "The Crown Princess is a thousand years old!" Chitose Crown Princess!"

Princess Qingle whispered to Zhou Xuan: "Cousin Xuan, you said that I now ordered them to change their ship and go south to your Australia. Will they obey?"

Zhou Xuan was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Princess, don't come nonsense!" Princess, you're too snobbish, you just rewarded others with a little benefit, and you want people to work hard for you, you think it's so simple to see immediate results. ”

Princess Qingle asked, "Cousin Xuan doesn't want to go back to his homeland?"

told a big lie and was caught by others, Zhou Xuan was simply annoyed and angry. Displeased: "I have no relatives in my homeland, my relatives are in the Tang Kingdom, for their safety, I am willing to do my best." ”

Princess Qingle opened her eyes wide and said, "Cousin Xuan." I'm your relative, right?"

Zhou Xuan said helplessly: "Yes." Let's go up and talk about it. ”

The bilge seldom has a distinguished person. Therefore, the gangway was very steep, and Princess Qingle said coquettishly: "Cousin Xuan." Would you like to give me a hand?"

The princess's voice was loud. All the internal rumors and Gong E looked at Zhou Xuan, and then turned their faces away neatly.

Zhou Xuan wanted to cover up and said: "This and this." My cousin can't walk, so it's normal for me to be a cousin. Seeing the corners of Princess Qingle's mouth moving slightly, she seemed to be smiling and said, "This princess has teased me several times." How can buddy show weakness. You think dude is a shy virgin!" Hold Princess Qingle's hand and go up. Avoid the eyes at the corner of the gangway. suddenly slapped the buttocks wrapped in Princess Qingle's thin Shu brocade palace skirt.

Princess Qingle let out an "ah", turned her head and glared at Zhou Xuan with shame and annoyance.

Zhou Xuan said casually: "What's wrong with the princess, she slipped?"

Back on the upper floor of the big ship, the sky has already darkened, and *** is open. Lang is like day, the cook has already prepared dinner, and Princess Qingle invites Cousin Xuan to dinner regardless of the suspicion that she was beaten on her ass.

It's not the first time to dine with the princess, and Zhou Xuan is not polite. Take a seat and chew on.

Princess Qingle ate some casually, rinsed her mouth and cleaned her hands, then crossed her knees with her hands, sat upright, and watched Zhou Xuan eat.

Zhou Xuan said: "Why does the princess eat so little? Eat more, before getting on the boat, Prince Liu told me to let the princess eat more, hoping that when I got off the boat at the Xingwang Mansion, the princess would be fat twice before it was stunning. ”

Princess Qingle snorted. Wave your hand and let everyone who serves withdraw. Big eyes stared at Zhou Xuan. Watch him eat. Seeing Zhou Xuan pouring himself a drink, he ate deliciously. It's very comfortable. I can't help but feel angry. Said loudly: "Cousin Xuan, don't eat anymore." If you eat it again, you will become a snow pig?"

Zhou Xuan glared at her: "What do you want to do, there is still a month from here to the Southern Han Dynasty." What are you anxious about?"

Princess Qingle said aggrievedly: "A month will pass soon. The farther away from the Tang Kingdom and the closer to the Han Kingdom, the more anxious I become, Cousin Xuan, what can you do to help me? Tell me first, I'm more at ease. ”

Don't appease Princess Qingle. She will make trouble every day, she can't live this day, Zhou Xuan's brain is spinning. He laughed three times, and then said, "Princess, don't worry. Prince Snowboar will never really marry you—"

"Why?"

"Because—because he's so manly."

Although Princess Qingle has some spring palace brochures that Xiao Zhou later passed on to her. But this knowledge is still very poor, and he asks, "What is masculine style?"

Zhou Xuan scratched his head. It's hard to explain. said: "Long Yang, the habit of broken sleeves, do you know? Don't know yet? You don't usually study, don't you like a princess?"

Princess Qingle's face flushed, and she said angrily: "Why don't I study!" I read the "Historical Records" and "Hanshu". also knew Longyang and Broken Sleeves, but Taifu didn't explain. Ask my father. My father said that this is a special habit, so I don't have to study deeply, and I don't need to read to understand it. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, good. I'll just be blunt, tell you, Prince Snow Pig doesn't like women, he likes men?"

Princess Qingle's mouth was wide open, and she saw that her mouth was pink and tender, and she said, "I like men." This. What does this mean?"

Princess Qingle is eighteen years old this year, although she is bold and ruthless. But it's still very simple!

Zhou Xuan said: "This kind of male style prevailed in the Southern Han Dynasty, as for how to like men. Your Majesty is right. The princess doesn't have to dig deeper. Anyway, Prince Snow Boar won't marry you. Do you see any women in the Snow Pig Prince's entourage?"

Princess Qingle thought about it, as if there was none. In fact, this is Liu Shousu because the witch Lu Qiongxian warned him to be cautious about approaching women, so Liu Shousu simply went on the road without a woman.

Zhou Xuan said: "That's right, Liu Shousu doesn't like women. The more beautiful a woman is, the uglier she is in his eyes. So the princess doesn't have to worry. ”

Princess Qingle asked, "Since Liu Shousu doesn't like women." Then why did he come all the way to marry me?"

Zhou Xuan said: "The national interest is a kiss on the princess's side. In the snow pig is too old, he is also close to him, and the two countries form an alliance through marriage. The Snow Pig Prince brought the important ministers of the Han State to the Tang Kingdom. Nominally, to marry a princess. In fact, the main goal was to ask Tang Guo to help them exterminate Zhang Sheng, the eighth king of Zhongtian. ”

With a "snap", a porcelain bowl fell into several petals, and Princess Qingle stood up and scolded the snow pig. It was extremely indignant.

Zhou Xuan was surprised: "Princess, what do you mean?" Have you changed your mind and are willing to marry Snow Pig?"

Princess Qingle walked with long legs. Colorful skirts fluttering. Walking back and forth, he said angrily: "It's just that I don't marry him." He actually came to marry me with false feelings, it's really infuriating!"

Zhou Xuan smiled "hehe" and thought that this princess was really domineering, and it was typical that only the governor was allowed to set fire. The people are not allowed to light the lamps.

Princess Qingle suddenly stopped. said: "Even if Liu Shousu doesn't really marry me, but he always has to put on the ground, then wouldn't I have to stay in the Southern Han Dynasty to be a widow?" No way. Cousin Xuan must bring me back. ”

Zhou Xuan was stunned. This princess doesn't know the male style, but she knows that she is a widow and has quite high requirements for life. said, "Okay, I'll bring you back." Since Liu Shousu only loves men. Then if you want to stay or go, he shouldn't care too much. ”

Princess Qingle was a little relieved and asked, "Cousin Xuan said earlier that he had something to tell me, what is the matter?" Are you going to paint a portrait of me?"

Zhou Xuan's heart jumped, yes, now there is no Xiao Zhou Hou in charge, just paint. However, he promised Xiao Zhou that he would take care of Princess Qingle like a brother, and painting like that didn't seem to be a brother's doing, although his paintings were noble, it was hard to guarantee that there were no gossips. Suppress the thoughts in your heart. I took out the small silver bottle from the silk fish bag. Handed it to Princess Qingle and said, "This is a kind of ambergris." After you bathe, rub a little on the navel—"

Princess Qingle blushed: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Xuan was about to explain. Princess Qingle blushed and said in a sweet voice, "Cousin Xuan wants to seduce me? Is this a kitsch?"

Zhou Xuan rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand and said, "Give it back to me." ”

Princess Qingle put away the small silver bottle under her sleeve. smiled: "Don't give it." ”

At this time, General Zuo Jinwu Lin Ji came to report. The horse master specially ordered the boat to deliver eight kinds of dishes. Please eat it with Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Zhou Xuan ran to the deck to take a look. I saw a four-wheeled, thirty-two-oar, three-foot wooden boat breaking through the water, and the oars were like propellers. It's blazing fast. After a while, he arrived at the side of the big ship "Reiji" in front of him, and was bound by the sailors of the big ship with a tough brown rope. Then the four-wheeled wooden boat was hoisted onto the big ship by rocking the wheel.

Princess Qingle also followed. An insider came over with a food box and said, "Your Highness, this is the food sent by the prince of the Southern Han Dynasty-"

Princess Qingle said coldly: "Throw it into the sea." Feed the fish. ”

That inner biography did not dare to slack off. Hurriedly threw the food box into the vast sea.

Zhou Xuan smiled. said: "The princess go back to the cabin to rest, I will play chess." "Turn around and go.

Princess Qingle called, "Cousin Xuan, don't you want to paint?"

Zhou Xuan said: "Another day." ”

Princess Qingle watched Zhou Xuan's back disappear into the night. wrinkled his nose, touched the small silver bottle at the bottom of his sleeve and said, "This cousin Xuan is a fake serious, otherwise why would you give me a good navel spice?" Well. Let Cousin Xuan rub it for me tomorrow. ”

Thinking like this, Princess Qingle's face was hot, and she felt that the thousands of miles of travel were also a little better.

The wind and waves were calm, and the fleet sailed day and night. The boatman adjusts the angle of the sail according to the direction of the wind. When there is no wind. Sixty sailors would stick out of the sides of the hull and row the boat like centipedes, and the speed of the ship would not be slow. I'm afraid it's a headwind. Then it is a little more troublesome, you have to take the zigzag line to take advantage of the headwind to continue to move forward. At this time, the role of the compass is extremely important.
