068 - One Thousand and One Nights
Wang Xiaolai didn't know Sui Yang's characters, but for some reason, he only had to look at the words outlined in the center of the painting, and he understood the meaning of those words in his heart.
Even, Wang Xiaolai felt that he was hallucinating.
Moreover, Suizhu and Nightmare were also surprised after listening to Wang Xiaolai's words: "What did you say? What Wyvern Mountain? โ
Wang Xiaolai sighed, stretched out his hand and pointed to the middle of the painting: "Isn't there three words Feilong Mountain written on it?" โ
Everyone in the room looked in the direction of Wang Xiaolai's finger, but what they saw was a mixture of colors, without any discipline at all, as if the painter had accidentally knocked over the paint when he was painting.
You know, it's pretty much the same, if not more serious.
Suizhu couldn't help but laugh at the time: "What are you talking nonsense?" โ
Wang Xiaolai sighed, too lazy to take care of her.
Feng Qingyun hesitated for a moment: "Feilong Mountain, I know where it is." โ
Several people looked at him, Feng Qingyun pointed to the mountain behind the thatched house, and said: "Listen to the old man in the village, about three hundred years ago, there was a divine dragon in the sky that fell to the ground, and the body turned into a high mountain, and the whole mountain was in the shape of soaring, and the locals called it Feilong Mountain." โ
Suizhu's eyes lit up: "I know this, I know this." โ
Wang Xiaolai looked at her: "Do you know anything else besides eating and playing?" โ
Suizhu snorted: "Grandpa Zhao told me that there is a reason why Longshou County is called Longshou County, and it is named after this Flying Dragon Mountain. โ
Wang Xiaolai likes these strange knowledge the most, and he couldn't help but ask, "What do you say?" โ
Princess Suizhu looked at Wang Xiaolai, with an expression on her face that she was unwilling to take care of him, turned her face, and said: "Grandpa Zhao said that in the east of Longshou County, there is a big mountain, and there is a huge stone on the west side of the peak, like a dragon's head. โ
Wang Xiaolai sighed: "It's nonsense." โ
Princess Suizhu was hit by Wang Xiaolai, and her mouth was puffed out angrily.
But the nightmare couldn't help but ask Wang Xiaolai: "Brother Wang, you just said that the painting has the words Feilong Mountain written on it, why didn't you see it below?" โ
Wang Xiaolai walked over and was about to pick up the painting.
Princess Suizhu was anxious: "What are you doing, it's Emperor Gaozu's thing." โ
Wang Xiaolai pouted: "It's not yours, why are you in a hurry." โ
As he spoke, he took the painting off, put it on the table, and pointed to the center of the painting: "Oh, isn't it?" โ
Several people looked around, but they didn't see the words Wang Xiaosheng on it.

In the imperial study of the Imperial Palace, Camellia knocked on the door and came in, put the teapot in his hand on the dragon book case, and stood aside.
The Empress looked up and asked, "Has the snow stopped outside?" โ
Camellia nodded, umper.
When the empress heard this, she stretched out her hand and rubbed the roots of the mountain in the corner of her eyes, couldn't help but let out a whisper, put down the fold in her hand, sat up, stretched her waist, and said, "Camellia, accompany me out to see the snow scene." โ
Camellia nodded, took out a cotton robe from the side, and put it on for the empress.
When I got out of the imperial study, I came outside, and there was already a small yellow door that began to clean the snow.
The Empress walked down the royal road, reached out and grabbed a handful of snow from the handrail of the stone carving, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Seeing this, Camellia panicked: "Your Majesty." โ
The empress swallowed the snow with her mouth, patted the snow on her hands, and sighed coldly: "The snow is good snow, there will be a good harvest in the coming year, but it has suffered the refugees in the six southern provinces, and it has not yet entered the middle of winter, the weather is so cold, it is really going to be time, how can I get by?" โ
"Camellia."
"Yes."
"Go down and prepare, tomorrow I will leave the palace and go to the place where the refugees live to see for myself."
The empress's words fell, and Camellia was stunned: "Your Majesty, are you going out of the palace?" Is this okay? โ
The empress waved her hand: "Don't worry, it's okay, I've been out with Zhu for a few days, and it's time to take her back, by the way, I also want to see how Wang Xiaolai and that kid have done with the refugee settlement." โ
"Yes."
Camellia reluctantly agreed, and after speaking, there was still hesitation on her face, and when the empress saw it, she smiled and asked her what was wrong.
Camellia thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there is a saying, forgive the ministers for being presumptuous. โ
The empress waved her hand: "Speak." โ
Camellia said: "You are the Son of Heaven, you should stay in the palace, how can you leave the palace at will, and you still leave the capital." โ
The empress laughed: "Camellia, why are you nagging like a narcissus, aren't you just going out for a day, it's okay, let's set off as soon as the city gate opens, quietly go out of the city, and come back at night, you don't talk about it, I don't talk about it, who knows?" Besides, there will be no morning tomorrow, even if there is any urgency, won't the imperial uncle help take care of it? โ
The empress said so, and it was useless for Camellia to say anything, so she sighed at the time: "The minister obeys the order." โ
The empress nodded with satisfaction: "That's right." โ
As she spoke, the empress ran down the royal road like a little girl, drove open the small yellow door that was being cleaned, touched a handful of snow with both hands, and threw it into the air with all her might.

At the refugee resettlement office, Narcissus received news from Camellia early in the morning, saying that the empress was going to come to the refugee resettlement place in person, which scared Narcissus, and sent Liu Mianyi to find Wang Xiaolai back, while finding Shen Xiping, and asked him to lead people along the official road to clean up the snow on the road.
Narcissus's words, Shen Xiping didn't dare not listen, let me ask the palace, how many people are not afraid of Narcissus?
Division of labor and cooperation, Shen Xiping called Liutun, and called a lot of refugee women and children who could not do heavy work, and cleaned up the official road with them.
And Liu Mianyi led a team around the refugee resettlement prescription circle for several miles, looking for Wang Xiaolai.
Just over an hour after dawn, a horse-drawn carriage came outside the refugee settlement.
The person driving the car is the camellia.
Then don't think about it, there is no one else except the empress.
Narcissus, who had been waiting for a long time, ran quickly, went to the front of the car and asked Camellia with his eyes, and after getting the latter's nod, he breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down on one knee: "Weichen Narcissus, welcome to the holy driver." โ
With a chuckle from inside the car, the empress lifted the curtain, drilled her head out, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for dozens of days, I miss you to death." โ
Narcissus looked embarrassed.
The empress jumped out of the car, reached out and took Narcissus's hand, and walked towards the refugee settlement, and as she went, she said, "Take me to see how the situation is in this refugee settlement." โ
Narcissus glanced back at Shen Xiping, who followed him, and asked him with his eyes if Wang Xiaolai and Suizhu had found it, and after seeing the latter shaking his head, he glared at him fiercely, which meant that he was saying what were you doing in a daze, why don't you go find it quickly.
Shen Xiping hurried away.
Here, Narcissus led the empress into the refugee settlement, because she was dressed in civilian clothes, and when the refugees saw it, they all smiled and greeted: "Lord Narcissus, this girl with you, is it your friend, it's so beautiful, why have I never seen it." โ
Narcissus's heart is in his throat.
But the empress, who didn't care at all, lifted the hem of her skirt and said with a smile: "Thank you uncle for the compliment." โ
The refugee didn't even know who he was talking to, and laughed, "My girl's mouth is so sweet." โ
The empress smiled even better, as if it was a peony in full bloom in April and May, even if it was said to be the essence of heaven and earth, it was not an exaggeration to take the spirit of mountains and rivers.
The frightened narcissus smiled stiffly all the way, and finally led the elated empress through the place where the refugees lived, and came to her own residence.
The empress sat on the Taishi chair, her legs still dangling leisurely, glanced at the decoration in the room, and smiled: "I don't see it, Narcissus, these refugees seem to respect you a lot." โ
Narcissus bowed his head: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of your ministers, this is all dependent on Your Majesty's heavenly might." โ
When the empress heard this, she shook her head with a smile, and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw a roll of rice paper spread out on the desk next to her, and a frozen wolf pen was placed next to it.
At that time, I was stunned, but when I got up, I came to the front and looked, on the rice paper, there were dense words.
The empress picked it up and read it in her hand, and while reading, she read it in a low voice: "One thousand and one nights? โ
When Narcissus heard this, he hurriedly walked over to collect it.
But the empress stopped her and asked with a smile, "Narcissus, what is this?" โ
Narcissus lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, the empress asked again, and then she was embarrassed to say: "Back to Your Majesty, this was copied by Princess Suizhu's ministers." โ
The empress looked down and flipped through it, put it aside after reading a few chapters, looked at Narcissus and said, "I didn't expect Narcissus that you are quite good at coaxing children." โ
When Narcissus heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Your Majesty, don't get me wrong, this is all the story that Wang Xiaolai told Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Her Royal Highness the Princess asked the ministers to write it down and copy it out as a gift to her." โ
When the empress heard this, she was stunned.
"Wang Xiaolai? That kid still understands this? โ
