Chapter 316: Bet
Lu Yue heard that the tiny flame in the whole person's heart was extinguished with a "poof", hey, it seems that he shouldn't have pinned his hopes on Qin Mufeng.
Qin Mufeng saw that Lu Yue's whole person seemed to be a little lost, and he didn't know why.
"How long is the birthday party?" Lu Yue asked Qin Mufeng.
"Five days~"
"......" Lu Yue drank tea with her hand, tsk~ It only takes five days, she has to prepare a birthday gift for the emperor within these five days, otherwise she will lose~
Thinking of the triumphant face of the third princess, Lu Yue couldn't bear it, no, she must win, so that the three princesses would no longer dare to be arrogant in front of her and bully her~
As soon as Lu Yue thought about this, her whole person was suddenly full of motivation again.
Qin Mufeng looked at Lu Yue's eyes that lit up instantly, and his mood improved, "Well, there is one more thing, you also have to attend the emperor's birthday banquet with me, I will invite a nurturing grandmother in the palace, you can follow the grandmother to learn the rules these days~"
"......" Lu Yue blinked her eyes and said in her heart: Is it too late for her to pretend to be dizzy now?
-----
Qin Wangfu, Qingxi Hall.
Lu Yue spread out on the table, biting a dried peach in her mouth, knocking on the table with her hand, and said in her heart: This is to prepare a birthday gift for the emperor, then you must know the emperor's preferences, otherwise the gift will be more expensive and enter the emperor's eyes, wouldn't it be in vain?
"Miss, bring it, bring it~" Lu'er shouted and walked in from outside the door, Lu Yue sat up suddenly, and Lu'er put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in her hand on the table.
Lu Yue looked at the roll of paper thoughtfully, and she waved her hand to signal Lu'er to come over.
The two whispered for a while, Lu Yue raised her head and said, "Do you understand?" ”
"Miss, I understand~"
Lu Yue hummed lightly, waved her hand, and Lu'er hurriedly left.
After waiting for a long time, there was the footsteps of the two at the door, Lu'er came in front, Xiao Liuzi followed behind, Xiao Liuzi was busy saluting Lu Yue, but Lu Yue waved his hand and said, "Excuse me." I'm looking for you today for one thing~"
Lu Yue gave a look, and the green on the side retreated, she motioned for Xiao Liuzi to come closer, and Xiao Liuzi approached and said, "Princess, please tell me if you have anything~"
"Hmm... I ask you that, right? You often follow Qin Mufeng into the palace to see the emperor, right? Lu Yue blinked a pair of clear eyes.
"It's... Princess, you are inquiring about the emperor..."A trace of embarrassment flashed on Xiao Liuzi's face, this is privately talking about the royal family, but he has to be held responsible~
"Hey~" Lu Yue knocked Xiao Liuzi with his hand, "Oops~" Xiao Liuzi covered his head and screamed.
Lu Yue glared at Xiao Liuzi, "I'll tell you the truth, I'm here for the birthday gift~"
"Oh, I understand, in fact, this emperor ....." Xiao Liuzi said with a mouthful, Lu Yue listened to it with relish at first, and then heard a certain place, she pursed her lips and directly urged Xiao Liuzi to focus on it.
As a result, Xiao Liuzi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing you particularly like~"
Lu Yue was stunned when she heard this, "How is it possible?" As long as it's a human being...."
Speaking of this, Lu Yue was stunned, and suddenly a sentence sounded, the king of the world is the most pitiful and lonely, revealing the emperor's joy and anger, which is the blessing of the society.
"If you really say that there is, I remember that there was once a little father-in-law who secretly told me that he had seen the emperor playing woodwork." Xiao Liuzi lowered his voice.
Lu Yue's eyes lit up suddenly, and her eyes glowed with magical brilliance, and she said, "Are you true?" ”
"It should be true~" Xiao Liuzi nodded, and at that time, he didn't ask for the little father-in-law, and the little father-in-law didn't coax him.
A shallow smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yue's mouth, now that she had a direction, she was not worried.
"By the way, don't tell Qin Mufeng yet, do you understand?" Lu Yue stared at Xiao Liuzi with a cautious expression.
"Yes, princess~" After the little sixth son left, Lu Yue sat down happily, touched her chin and muttered: "I didn't expect this emperor to love gold, silver and jewelry, but to love the carpenter's work, it's really interesting~"
Lu Yue sat on the chair and thought for a long time, what was she going to do? Thinking about it, Lu Yue called Lu'er and asked Lu'er to find some books for her to come back, especially books related to carpentry and woodwork, all of which had to be retrieved~
After a while, Lu'er found a lot of books for Lu Yue to hug back, and several thick ones were all resting on the table.
Lu Yue saw that Lu'er had worked hard, so she asked her to go down to rest, and she picked up the book and read it.
In the evening, Qin Mufeng came back very late, he was light-hearted, and he was afraid that he would wake up Lu Yue, but when he walked to the door, he was stunned when he pushed the door open.
Lu Yue was still leaning on the side of the bed, holding a thick book and reading, even Qin Mufeng walked over, Lu Yue didn't notice it, or Qin Mufeng reached out and took the book.
Qin Mufeng took the book and looked at it, and said, "Why do you look at this kind of book?" ”
Lu Yue glanced at Qin Mufeng and said, "Want to see, you're back?" "Ah~" she yawned.
Qin Mufeng glanced at Lu Yue and said, "If you are sleepy, you will sleep~"
Lu Yue lay down and hummed in a daze, and when Qin Mufeng looked again, Lu Yue had already fallen asleep with her eyes closed.
On the second day, Lu Yue flipped through the carpenter's book a few more steps, and specially asked Lu'er to inquire where the best carpenter in Tianfu City was.
Lu Yue had breakfast, and the little guy who went out to inquire came back.
When Lu Yue heard this, she hurriedly sent a message to let the little guy come in, and the little guy saluted Lu Yue.
"How? Did you hear about it? Lu Yue stared at the little guy.
The little servant arched his hand and said: "Back to the princess, I inquired about it, but there is a carpenter in the east and west of the city, and the carpenter in the east of the city gives a reasonable price, but the king carpenter in the west of the city has a good heart, and the things he makes are very exquisite, but his temper is not very good~"
Lu Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to the west of the city first and see the carpenter of the king~"
"Yes~"
In less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped at the mouth of a very narrow alley, and the little guy stepped forward and said embarrassedly: "Princess, this alley is too narrow, our carriage can't pass~"
Lu Yue lifted the curtain, "Let's go down and walk~" She jumped out of the carriage as she spoke, and Lu'er also jumped down when she saw this.
A few people walked down the narrow alley to a wooden gate, Lu Yue was a color, and the little maid immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who~"
The door opened with a bang, and when the carpenter saw the little man, he said, "Why are you again?" If you don't make wood, don't bother me, aren't you adding to the chaos? ”
The carpenter spoke slowly, and then returned to the timber with his hands behind his back.
Lu Yue took a step forward and bowed, and was about to explain to someone, but who knew that the carpenter Wang called you the king of heaven, and no one paid attention to it.
The floor was littered with wood chips, a lot of discarded wood, and a boxy cabinet was sitting on the floor.
The carpenter Wang was carving the edges and corners with shavings, although he had just started carving, but Lu Yue could see from the wood chips splashed by the carpenter that this carpenter Wang was really good.
The little guy wanted to go up, but Lu Yue stopped the little guy and shook his head, since the carpenter Wang was busy, what did it matter if they waited~
The little servant brought a chair, and Lu Yue sat in the shade, looking at the more and more aggressive techniques of the carpenter, and the wood chips flew around.
Lu Yue didn't wait long, and the carpenter put down the shavings, walked aside, took a sip of water from the teacup, and squinted at Lu Yue.
After watching for a long time, seeing that these people were still not leaving, and they were dying here, the carpenter finally put down the tea bowl and said, "Say, what do you want to do?" ”
The carpenter Wang looked helpless and funny, Lu Yue smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Our family does have an object that needs to be made, you can come to our house from tomorrow and stay for two or three days~"
Carpenter Wang's face changed slightly, and most people would ask him to come to his door to make objects, and then let him go home to do it when he came back. The other is naturally that the objects are not ordinary, and they are worried that he will leak the drawings, so they will invite him to come to the door as a guest, and only when they are completed, will they put him back.
"You... Who are you? Carpenter Wang glared at Lu Yue and them vigilantly, and Lu Yue smiled and said: "Carpenter Wang, don't worry, I just really want to invite you to the mansion, and after I finish the things, I will let people send you back~"
Carpenter Wang immediately panicked, who would take it seriously when he said it at this time?
Lu Yue gave a look, Li Shi and Li Hu jumped out, "Help..." Before he could shout for help, Li Hu stepped forward and covered his mouth, quietly opened the door, and directly knocked the person unconscious, carried it away and stuffed it into the carriage.
Lu Yue touched the cabinet that was pushed very flat, and motioned for someone to carry it into the house, otherwise the sun would be damaged in a few strokes.
A few people went out of the door, locked the door, and then walked to the mouth of the alley and got into the carriage.
The carriage swayed to the Qin Palace, Lu Yue glanced at the lying Wang carpenter, she got off the carriage with Lu'er, and with a look, Li Hu went up and invited the Wang carpenter who woke up early.
The carpenter Wang originally wanted to shout, but when he saw the three big characters of the Qin Palace, his eyes suddenly widened in shock, "You... You are..."
Lu Yue gave Li Hu a settling sigh and said, "Arrange people in the backyard~"
"Yes, Miss~"
It was noon, and the sun was so hot that the leaves on the trees were dry and lifeless.
Lu'er also carefully held an umbrella along the way, and the two of them only walked for less than a quarter of an hour, and they were sweating profusely, and in the past few days, the temperature in Tianfu City has become higher and higher.
The two went all the way back to Qingxi Hall, and Lu Yue hurriedly asked someone to make a bowl of mung bean soup and drank it from the Consumer Elimination Department.
After Lu Yue's clothes, she lay directly on the mat and shook the fan for a while before it finally stopped being hot.
In this way, Lu Yue actually fell asleep while fanning, and Lu'er quietly came in and covered Lu Yue with a blanket, and then slipped out again.
Lu Yue slept until the afternoon, because it was too hot, Lu Yue let the kitchen sit with ice powder, Lu Yue tasted it, and felt that the taste was not bad, so Lu'er also ate a bowl.
She scooped two mouthfuls, and suddenly her hand stopped, "Hey, why didn't you see Xuan'er today?" "Usually, Qin Zixuan has already come over, why didn't he come today?
Lu'er hurriedly walked to the door and took a few looks, then came back and said, "Miss, there is no trace of the little prince, the little prince will not go to the old lady, right?" ”
Lu Yue shook her head and said, "At this time, my mother is taking a nap, and Xuan'er won't bother my mother to take a nap~"
"Otherwise, I'll go to the little prince's yard to have a look~" Lu'er said.
Lu Yue scooped two mouthfuls of ice powder, put down the spoon in the middle of the sound, and said, "Forget it, I'll go with you~"
Lu'er held an umbrella for Lu Yue, and they followed the path to Qin Zixuan's courtyard.
