Looking at each other, both of them were a little speechless.

"Ahem, Narcissus, let's put people down first." The empress covered her mouth with her hand and coughed.

When Narcissus heard this, she let go of her hand.

With a plopping sound, Wang Xiaolai fell to the ground, got up, and began to mumble in his mouth.

In front of so many people, Narcissus was embarrassed to worry about Wang Xiaolai, but after glaring at him, he stood behind the empress.

"Little Laizi, you can be regarded as here, hurry up, I have been waiting for you all morning."

The empress came over with a smile and helped Wang Xiaolai up.

"Then the hot air balloon you mentioned yesterday can be taken out and let me and Uncle Huang open their eyes?"

Facing the empress's expectant gaze, Wang Xiaolai pursed his lips: "Your Majesty, put the hot air balloon aside first, can you get me something to eat, from last night to now, I still have an empty stomach." ”

When the empress heard this, she immediately ordered: "Send an order to the imperial dining room, prepare a meal immediately." ”

Here, the empress ordered to go down, and there was a faint order from the Duke of Le, who succeeded Zhao Liwen as the new governor of the Twelve Houses.

In a few moments, a bowl of noodle soup was delivered from the imperial dining room.

On the noodles with just the right width, there are a few slices of green onions, drizzled with a few drops of sesame oil, and the fragrance is fragrant, just by looking at it, it can arouse people's appetite.

Wang Xiaolai squatted on the ground with a bowl to eat noodles, and the narcissus shook his head when he saw it, while Liu Maolin and the Eight Sages King and Lu Gongyou laughed helplessly.

Like the palace maids and eunuchs next to them, there were a few of them, and they all laughed.

The empress held a teacup, squatted in front of Wang Xiaolai, looked at Wang Xiaolai's appearance of eating noodles and devouring noodles, and kept persuading: "You eat slowly, don't choke, come, drink some water." ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded and swallowed, and in the time of a stick of incense, the bowl of noodles was eaten cleanly.

Wiped his oil-stained mouth with his sleeve, Wang Xiaolai burped very gracefully, and then, took the teacup from the empress's hand, took a sip, and rinsed his mouth.

The empress couldn't help shouting: "You stop for a while, what is going on with that hot air balloon, tell me about it." ”

Wang Xiaolai put down the teacup, squatted on the spot with his cuffs folded, full of the appearance of a well-fed little person, and this kid also took out a cigarette from his body and put it in his mouth to smoke.

The Empress choked, snatched it from his mouth and pressed it on the ground, saying, "You tell me what is going on, and later in the treasury, I will give you the best tobacco." ”

"Okay, Your Majesty, you don't want to play tricks."

Wang Xiaolai said.

Immediately after, he stood up: "Find some cow and sheep skins, a basket, not very big, can carry the weight of about three people, in addition, three or four ingenious palace maids." ”

The empress asked, "That's it?" ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded: "That's it." ”

The empress immediately ordered Narcissus to do it.

After a while, he led a few palace maids to come to him, each holding the cow and sheep skin used to make hot air balloons.

Wang Xiao came to him, took a look at it with his hand, then tugged hard, tried the toughness, picked out an old sheepskin and threw it, and then said to the palace maids: "Sew these skins together and make them into balls, but you have to leave a gap, pay attention, it must be airtight." ”

The palace maids all looked at Wang Xiaolai, Wang Xiaolai looked at the empress, and the empress said, "Do you understand?" ”

The palace maids nodded hurriedly, and they all came up to take the cowhide and make it.

Wang Xiaolai held the tea and told on the side: "Remember, there can't be any gaps, after a while, I will try it, preferably the kind of water that can't be soaked." ”

Several palace maids said in their hearts that what you said is good, you have the ability to come, this thing is not cloth and satin or something, this is the skin of a cow, it is usually not easy to prick with a needle, you told us to be impermeable?

If it weren't for the empress in front of her, these two or three little palace maids would probably not have asked this paragraph.

But Wang Xiaolai didn't think there was anything, and kept pointing at the side.

The scorching sun was shining, and those palace maids were not hot, Wang Xiaolai held a fan in his hand, fanned the fan next to the palace maid, and then ran to the palace maid to fan the fan, and did not forget to point out the problem in the middle.

It took almost an hour to work, and the hot air balloon airbag he asked for was finally sewn.

asked people to prop up the airbag on the ground, Wang Xiaolai took a look, it was a little big.

With such a big airbag, I don't know if I can bring it up with firewood.

Facing the questioning eyes of the empress and the Eight Sages King, Wang Xiaolai hesitated for a moment, and finally decided, and sent a few little eunuchs to pound up the air bags, connect them with ropes and the baskets used to carry people, and then let those little yellow doors pull the air bags around.

The empress asked curiously, "Can you fly like this?" ”

Wang Xiaolai didn't look back: "Your Majesty, don't worry." ”

"What, Narcissus, you go to the Imperial Dining Room and bring me a stove."

Narcissus gritted her teeth and glared at Wang Xiaolai, if she didn't have a seizure, the empress directly ordered: "Listen to Xiao Laizi." ”

Hearing this, Narcissus took a deep breath, turned around and left hatefully.

In a few moments, Narcissus turned back with a stove.

At noon, I don't know what it looks like to heat the daffodils.

With her ability, it is naturally easy to raise a stove, but she does not have Zhao Liwen's ability to use qi to resist things, and the heat of the stove is still unbearable for Narcissus, so that along the way, sweat rolled down her face.

Finally, when he got to the ground, Narcissus threw the stove to the ground and snorted, "The stove you want is here." ”

“3Ｑ”

"Speak human words." Narcissus has a bad expression.

"Hmm, thank you."

Narcissus breathed a sigh of relief and clapped her palms and stood behind the empress.

The two little yellow doors put the stove into the basket, added a big fire, and at the same time let the little yellow door drag the corners of the hot air balloon in all directions, and the heat of the province has not yet come up, and the fire first burned the cow and sheepskin.

The empress and the eight sages looked at all this and had no bottom in their hearts, and the empress even asked, "Little Laizi." ”

Wang Xiaolai turned his head and asked what was wrong.

The empress said, "Can you really fly?" ”

Wang Xiaolai felt that his IQ was provoked, and snorted at that time: "Your Majesty, do you believe me, my thing can not only fly, but also carry people to fly, believe it or not." ”

The empress smiled awkwardly and waved her hand: "Letter, letter." ”

said that it was a letter, but Wang Xiaolai couldn't see a trace of belief on the empress's face, and he snorted at the time, and looked at the hot air balloon, so he jumped in and said, "Your Majesty, I'll open your eyes today." ”

As he spoke, he increased the firepower, and after the airbag was fully inflated, he let go of the little yellow door that was pulling the four corners of the hot air balloon, and then took a knife to cut the rope tied to the stake.

In the questioning eyes of the empress and others, the hot air balloon slowly flew into the sky.

It was also Wang Xiaolai's luck, in the face of the empress's doubts, the first to come up to experiment, he didn't consider the possibility of failure, at the moment, the hot air balloon was one or twenty steps high from the ground, Wang Xiaolai stood on it, pinched his waist to look at the empress, and coaxed: "Your Majesty, how is it." ”

Everyone below looked at the hot air balloon in the sky and was stunned.

Don't look at the height of only one or twenty steps, but after all, this is the hope of seeing the sky, and it is unthinkable to put it in the past.

The empress couldn't help it a little and shouted, "Can it be higher?" ”

As soon as Wang Xiaolai heard this, he made an ok gesture with his hand, turned around and threw the coal into the copper furnace.

When the fire rose and the airbag was filled with hot air, it drove the hot air balloon up for another thirty or forty steps.

At this time, Wang Xiaolai looked down again, and the gap with the ground level had to be as high as a ten-story building.

Liu Maolin and the Eight Sages King staggered up and pointed to the hot air balloon in the sky: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's flying, it's flying." ”

The empress nodded, her tone excited: "I saw it, I saw it." ”

As she spoke, she raised her voice and asked in a presumptuous voice: "Little Laizi, can you fly to the side, I will see how you control the direction." ”

The words went out, and there was no response for a long time, and instead of going elsewhere, the hot air balloon became higher and higher.

The empress also wondered: "Didn't I hear that little Laizi just now?" ”

The Eight Sages King also shook his head in confusion, and said in his heart that it shouldn't be.

Looking at Liu Maolin, Liu Maolin also shook his head, except for Wang Xiaolai, no one knew what the situation was.
