The New Year is getting closer and closer, and seeing that it is the work of the past few days, many envoys from the Suiyang vassal states have come to Daxing City one after another and have been arranged to live in the post house.

Let's not mention how lively the city is for the time being, Wang Xiaolai has been stuck in Shen Xiping's house these days, and he doesn't do anything else, just making paper with Shen Xiping all the time.

After more than ten busy days, today is finally the harvest time.

The people of the entire Shen Mansion gathered together and looked at Wang Xiaolai intently.

Wang Xiaolai looked up at Shen Xiping and the group of people staring at him, swallowed his saliva, rubbed his hands, calmed down his excitement, and then lifted the corner of the paper on the mold and slowly uncovered it.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the thin piece of paper, and at this moment, all eyes were on.

Crash.

As soon as there was a sound, Wang Xiaolai shouted: "It's successful." ”

The people watching around also let out a burst of cheers, and everyone clapped their hands in celebration.

Shen Xiping couldn't wait to come up and take the paper, the paper was still a little wet, and it smelled a little weird.

"My lord, what does this smell like, so nasty."

Wang Xiaolai was already happy at this time: "Normal, the paper has just been made with this taste, this time I have no experience, the next time I make it, add some spices." ”

Saying that, Wang Xiaolai still looked like he was showing off, patted Shen Xiping's arm and asked happily: "How about Old Shen, how about the paper I made?" ”

Shen Xiping compared Wang Xiaolai's paper with Suiyang's local rice paper, and was full of praise: "My lord, you are really a god, so thin, and so tough, much more powerful than the rice paper used in the official face." ”

Wang Xiaolai pretended to be modest and waved his hand: "This is all pediatrics, if there is electricity, I can make you something more powerful, do you believe it." ”

Shen Xiping nodded like pounding garlic, holding the paper, and couldn't put it down.

Wang Xiaolai kicked him: "Okay, okay, take it to dry first, I'll be useful for a while." ”

Shen Xiping was puzzled, so he looked up at Wang Xiaolai: "It's useful, what's the use?" ”

Wang Xiaolai smiled mysteriously: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”

Seeing Wang Xiaolai selling Guanzi like this, Shen Xiping couldn't ask, so he and the servants at home moved the first batch of paper to dry under the sun.

Wang Xiaolai sat in the gazebo, drinking tea, looking at Erlang's legs, and humming eighteen touches in his mouth, that posture, that demeanor, a young man, just didn't look like such an obscene son.

"Hehe, Sui Yang, I didn't expect it, sooner or later, Lao Tzu will let all the money here be printed with Lao Tzu's portrait."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaolai also glanced at the local rice paper in Suiyang on the table, and smiled.

Although the first batch of papermaking took more than ten days, but less than ten pieces were successfully made, but this is also a successful beginning.

···

The Imperial Palace's Ouchi Imperial Study, where the Empress ascended the throne, almost became the Empress's dormitory, twelve hours a day, and the Empress spent at least nine hours here.

For several days, the empress was busy with the matter of how to receive the envoys of various countries and forces, after all, it was a major matter related to Sui Yang's face, and she couldn't be neglected.

"Narcissus."

The empress shouted.

The narcissus with a silver hairpin on her head stepped forward to answer, and the empress looked up and saw the silver hairpin on the head of the narcissus, and she was happy: "Narcissus, I seem to remember that you never bring this kind of ornament, what's wrong with it these days, take it every day?" ”

Narcissus lowered his head and smiled: "Back to Your Majesty, this is a gift from Uncle Lu to the minister." ”

The empress suddenly realized, shook her head and said, "Look at my memory, I forgot it." ”

Narcissus said again: "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, how can you remember these little things." ”

The empress smiled, stood up, and went down to the hall behind her back: "As a pillar of the imperial court, it is indeed not easy for Duke Lu to remember his daughter's birthday." ”

Narcissus' face was full of joy.

The empress suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Narcissus, the Silla envoy should be about to arrive, right?" ”

Narcissus snorted: "I'm resting at the post station on the road, and this afternoon, it should be Daxing City." ”

The empress sighed: "I didn't expect this day to come so quickly." ”

When Narcissus heard this, she didn't dare to say anything, what did the empress mean by what she said, and how could Narcissus not know?

When the emperor was there, he set a marriage with Silla for Princess Suizhu, and after this year, that is, a few days later, it was the day when Princess Suizhu got married.

"Suizhu, this girl is also my own niece, on her seventeenth birthday, not only can I not give her what I want, but I also have to push her out, I am really embarrassed by this genius."

Narcissus listened to the empress's complaints, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the marriage of His Royal Highness Suizhu was decided by the first emperor, although Silla is remote, but it has always been a vassal state of my Sui Yang, and it is also a nail used to contain the power of the grassland. ”

The empress glanced at Narcissus: "I don't know, it's just that I have suffered Suizhu's child, and I will pass on my will, if Suizhu has any requirements, I will meet her, and no one shall disobey her." ”

"Yes."

After Narcissus finished speaking, he went down.

The empress breathed a sigh of relief, stepped out of the imperial study, and stood outside, it was the weather at noon, and the sun should be shining, but she didn't want to be cloudy, black and foggy.

"Suizhu, don't blame the imperial aunt for being ruthless."

First, a snowflake floated between the empress's eyebrows, and when the empress raised her head, countless white rays fell.

The snow was in a hurry, and after a while, the empress was beaten up and down with snow, and when she looked at it from a distance, it looked like a snowman.

The secret guard who was secretly protecting took out a leather robe from the imperial study and wanted to put it on the empress, but she shook her hand and refused.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Suddenly, Narcissus walked briskly, and at the same time his mouth was quite hurried.

The empress turned her head and opened her closed eyes, and her eyelashes were full of snow: "What's wrong?" ”

Narcissus came to him and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Your Highness Suizhu, is gone." ”

The empress was stunned when she heard this: "It's gone?" Aren't you going to eat with me in the morning? ”

Narcissus shook his head: "The minister doesn't know, but His Royal Highness Suizhu is gone, Your Majesty, what should I do?" ”

The empress lowered her head and thought about it, and suddenly stretched her brows: "Forget it, I know what's going on, she must have gone to find Wang Xiao." ”

Narcissus: "??? ”

The empress said: "When I was having dinner in the morning, Suizhu asked Wang Xiaolai where she went, and I told her casually, but I didn't expect that this girl really dared to run out." ”

Narcissus frowned and said, "So, His Royal Highness Suizhu went to General Pingxi's Mansion?" ”

The empress nodded: "Eighty percent is." ”

"Then the ministers sent someone to protect it?"

The empress waved her hand: "No, with Wang Xiaolai here, Suizhu can't suffer a loss, that kid is clever, besides, the secret guard has passed, hasn't it become a surveillance Suizhu, she found out, how bad." I, who is an aunt, already feel sorry for her, in the last few days of Sui Yang, let her have a good time with Wang Xiaolai. ”

"Yes."

"By the way, Narcissus, find out what Wang Xiaolai bought so many bark fishing nets more than ten days ago for?"

The empress suddenly remembered something and asked.

Narcissus shook his head: "Back to Your Majesty, I haven't figured it out yet, and the minister doesn't know the situation." ”

The empress nodded: "Oh, that's it." ”

"Did you go and see the situation in person?"

"Forget it, don't worry about it, Wang Xiaolai is doing something weird again, let's leave them alone."

Narcissus snorted and said, "Your Majesty, it's cold outside, let's go back." ”

The empress agreed, and was supported by Narcissus and returned to the imperial study.

···

In the Pingxi General's Mansion, Wang Xiaolai sat on the pavilion in the middle of the pond, found a stove, got some raw mutton, and enjoyed the scenery while enjoying the scenery while BBQ in the snowy lake.

If it weren't for the eating of him and Shen Xiping, it would really seem to have come out of a painting.

"Young Master."

At this moment, Li Bo came from the house and shouted.

Shen Xiping turned around: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Bo scratched his hair: "That, someone from the palace came to the palace, saying that he was looking for your friend, Wang Xiaolai." ”

As soon as Wang Xiaolai heard this, Teng sat up suddenly: "Damn, what do you want." ”

Saying this, he walked out, and at the same time couldn't stop being happy in his heart, what's the matter, he was thinking about how to enter the palace to meet the empress, and handed over the paper he made, so as to exchange for some benefits, and was worried, no, there were people in the palace, hehe, Lao Tzu is really the protagonist.

Running to the door in a hurry, Shen Xiping and Shu Jiuchai couldn't catch up behind.

When he arrived at the door, Wang Xiaolai stopped, hit the snow on his body, put his hand to his mouth and coughed twice, then stretched out his hand to open the two doors, and pretended to say with his throat in his mouth: "I don't know if the business is coming, I miss the welcome, forgive the sin, forgive..."

The words were very beautiful, but when he saw the person standing outside the door, he was directly stunned, and the words in his mouth were cut off in half.

I saw Princess Suizhu stretching out her hand to say hello outside the door, and she was very excited: "Wang Xiaolai!" ”

Wang Xiaolai didn't say a word, he directly slammed the door with his backhand, turned around and walked back.
