Chapter 1 As I Smell

The sun is shining, reflecting the red walls and blue tiles.

The Yunmeng Palace is deep and quiet, and the carved beams are painted everywhere, which is beautiful.

The dougong of the palace of the heart spans eight zhang, and the dome is five zhang from the ground. The house was empty, and the sound was a little dull.

An old man with a white beard and a high crown took a sip of tea, frowned, put down the cup, and said:

"The old minister heard that the princess was about to issue a decree prohibiting the grain of rice from leaving the city and the officials from moving. ”

Liu Ruofei smiled lightly, picked up the teacup on the bookcase, elegantly flicked the foam with the lid, took a sip, and asked rhetorically:

"The minister of the country is not used to drinking tea?"

The old man didn't expect that the princess would mention mung beans and sesame seeds when discussing the timekeeping of the National University, and his expression couldn't help but suffocate, and he said sullenly:

"I've heard that people in the mountains lack oil, salt, bean flour, ginger and garlic, so they can only use tea leaves to make water. Although Yunmeng is small, it is a land of abundance and a land of fish and rice. The princess is in charge of the country, and she has all the opportunities, how can she be so harsh on herself in the matter of eating tea? After the news spreads, won't she be laughed at by the people of the world? Say that I am poor and barbaric, and the princess eats tea......

"Minister Gao Guo's words are ...... wrong"

An old man with a white beard interrupted, solemnly straightened his crown, and said:

"At the beginning of the people, the food style slept open, and the hair drank blood, what is ridiculous? The princess gave up the delicious food and coarse food, which is to set an example for my Yunmeng people. When forging ahead......"

Minister Gao Yuan looked up to the sky and sneered:

"Li Da sacrificial wine, the old man heard that your daughter and son-in-law saw that Yunmeng was in trouble, and immediately put on some gold and silver and ran away without a shadow. You are alone and stay in Yunmeng, how can you set an example for the countrymen, how to forge ahead?"

The front of the Guozi priest Jiu Li did not change color, and said:

"A son-in-law is a son-in-law, and Li is a Li. Since you swear to live and die with Yunmeng, you will never steal your life......"

Gao Yuan hummed, duplicity.

Li Zheng sneered at each other and said:

"Li's words and deeds are consistent, unlike some people who are generous and heroic, and secretly buy properties in other countries in private......"

Gao Yuan was furious, glared at Li Zheng and scolded in a rough voice:

"You old puppet, bloody mouth......"

Enough is enough! Liu Ruofei stood up and slapped his palm on the table, his face full of anger.

The teacup that had just been put down jumped a few times and rolled to the ground. Fortunately, the floor tiles were covered with thick embroidered mattresses and did not break.

A clever little palace maid quickly stepped forward to clean up the teacup and wipe the table.

Behind the two thick pillars, two palace maids with swords in their backs quickly flashed, and seeing that there was no big thing, they disappeared silently, like two shadows.

The two old men were immediately silenced.

Liu Ruofei pointed at them and said sharply:

"See for yourselves what it looks like...... The important ministers of the country, noisy and shouting in the palace, what kind of system has it become? Hmph, do you think that Ruofei is young and unworthy of the big responsibility. It's only been a few days since you were imprisoned, and you want to give a dismount?"

The two old men hurriedly stood up, bowed down, and said in fear, but the ministers did not dare.

Liu Ruofei wears heavy makeup, and looks much more mature than her actual age. The temples are towering, and the eyebrows are raised, adding to the majesty.

"Although tea is small, tasting tea is also like tasting life. This way of eating tea is a method of hearsay that ten days ago, when the palace sent an envoy to Ji Guo, he passed through Linshui County of Li Country because the child teacher was sick and returned. Those who teach this method have an elegant demeanor, and regard gold and silver as rubble. After hearing about it, the palace tried it according to the law, and it was refreshing, and it was a different taste.

Hongu dares to assert that in a few decades, eating tea will become drinking tea, tasting tea, and no more other things will be added. Eating like you and others, and even pouring a spoonful of boiling oil on the rich family, is the real vulgar style, and the tyrannical thing. My Yunmeng is also like this clear tea, first bitter and sweet, it will be popular for thousands of years. It's nothing to be ashamed to laugh at the moment. After a different day and a rebirth, it will surely be famous through the ages.

You are Yunmeng's important ministers, and on the occasion of this national crisis, I think that Ruofei is young and does not understand state affairs, and his heart can be learned. However, if there is an order, you can immediately resign and return to the old man, and the palace will arrange another executor. Inside and outside the city, how many people have two hearts and are racing to flee. But they didn't know that when Yunmeng swept the world in the future, there would be no place for them in this royal city.

A few years ago, we issued a recruitment order, but none of the Enlightened Light Realm Immortal Masters were willing to deign to come. came to the four spiritual realms, just like serving the ancestors. As a result, he ate and drank well, and when he saw that he was in trouble, he wiped his mouth and ran, and in the end, only the child teacher insisted on it. Those people, humming, are afraid of provoking the fire. But I don't know that one day, they will not be qualified to see the main palace. ”

Sweep the world? tsk......

The tone of these words was so big that even the four great masters of Yongyan and Wu Yue did not dare to say it, not to mention that Liu Ruofei was just a princess of a small country that was about to be destroyed.

The two old men were completely stunned, and after thinking about it, it was still due to the child's willfulness.

Gao Yuan coughed a few times and cleared his throat, and said cautiously:

What the princess said was that the old minister was short-sighted. However, letting go of those who are leaving, and allowing them to take all their possessions with them, was a national policy set half a year ago. The order changes overnight, and I'm afraid that people will not be convinced. ”

"Sit down. ”

Liu Ruofei waved her hand, sat down first, and said coldly:

"My father is seriously ill, and the palace will supervise the country, so naturally the palace has the final say. Approaching late autumn, it is difficult to raise food. Li Guo has already released the wind, saying that he will commit it in the coming year. If grain is allowed to leave the city at this time, wouldn't it be self-digging a grave? My father did say that those who want to leave will never be forced to stay. But this palace believes that officials receive the grace of the country and enjoy glory. If he runs away at the time of national crisis, his heart can be punished, and his deeds should be killed. Ordinary fathers and elders have worked hard all their lives, and they will never be hindered from leaving. Food is not easy to carry, so we convert it into money. ”

"This ...... The old minister obeyed. ”

Gao Yuan groaned for a moment, and then asked:

"The immortal master's body is not invaded by cold and heat, and the evil spirit is easy to dispel. The child teacher occasionally contracted a small illness, I don't know if it matters?"

Liu Ruofei smiled slightly and said:

"Lao Guo is concerned, and the child teacher has been cured. ”

Li Zheng got up and arched his hand: "The minister has this music." ”

Liu Ruofei waved her hand and smiled: "The sacrificial wine is Ruofei's teacher, so there is no need to be formal." ”

Li Zheng didn't sit and said:

"By the decree of the princess, Guozijian stopped teaching. But half of the scholars are stranded in the dormitory, and today they are even more noisy, passionate, and write blood letters to ask for battle. If it is forcibly driven away, I am afraid it will chill people's hearts. ”

"What should I do with the sacrificial wine?"

"The minister thought that a total of twenty-five students from the three kingdoms of Xu, Zeng, and Li should be driven away. Xu and Zeng seized my two counties, but they were blocked by Yunmeng Daze and failed to advance an inch. Li Guo seized my six counties, and next year he will enter the royal city. The students of these three countries stayed in the city, fearing that they would become troubles in the future. ”

Liu Ruofei shook her head and said with a smile:

"The population of Li Country is 100 times that of me, like a lion fighting a rabbit, and he will be an upright soldier, and he will not think of relying on a few scholars to cooperate with the outside world. It is good to have them, and the message can be transmitted back to the country, so that more people can know about the injustice of Li Guo. Since you don't want to go, then don't drive it away, and treat it well. ”

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and said, Yes.

At this time, the eunuch announced loudly outside the palace: "Princess Qiyu, the envoy to Ji has returned, and is waiting to see him outside the palace." ”

It turned out that Liu Ruofei, Tong Jin and others returned to Yunmeng from Yangwu County, and half of them went to Ji Kingdom. For Yunmeng, who is facing destruction, Ji Guo's attitude is almost the last straw.

Prime Minister Gao Yuan and the sacrificial wine looked at each other, and forgot the previous suspicion in their eyes. One rubbed his hands nervously, while the other chanted nervously, "Good news, it must be good news." It's good now......"

Liu Ruofei's expression was very calm, and said, Xuan.

At this moment, a crisp jingling sound sounded in the hall.

Liu Ruofei instantly changed color and looked at the high dome.

Gao Yuan and Li Zheng were surprised at first, and then understood.

Liu Ruofei has been smart since she was a child and is a natural formation mage. A few years ago, a small formation for transmitting messages was installed in the Guixin Palace, and once there was an emergency in the palace, it could be directly warned. King Yunmeng had proudly demonstrated it in front of his ministers, but he didn't use it later. It is said that it consumes too much spar, and the content is not clear, so it is better to let people run a few more steps to tell the cost-effective.

The jingle sound only sounded for three breaths before stopping, and Liu Ruofei's face gradually showed surprise, as if a child had gone through hardships and finally saw the gift of his dreams.

She stood up, pulled her legs and left, almost tripped over the long skirt, and staggered a few steps before she could stand firmly.

The two old men glanced at each other delicately and nodded slightly.

Well, not bad. The princess is in charge of the country at a young age, and she can still distinguish the priorities. Seeing the return of the mission, he hurriedly went out to greet him, and it was understandable that he did not hold his breath and lost his manners.

Liu Ruofei remembered something after standing firmly, and quickly turned around and picked up a fold spread out on the bookcase. When Gao Yuan and Li Zheng entered the hall, she was looking at this, and she picked up a pen and dotted on it.

On the snow-white rice paper, the first line is the word "girl".

Below it is a line of Juan Xiu's remarks in small print: seven times, with an affectionate tone. Suspected of being Chu Ling, originally from Yunmeng Wangcheng, Zhuque Street, Chu Mansion did not find this person, and now lives in Wuyi Lane, Yangwu County, Li Guo, eleven years old.

The second line is the word "Uncle Cang", remarks: six times, the tone is respectful. The rest is unknown.

The third line is a name, Li Su.

Notes: Three times, one appreciation, one anger, one embarrassment. Yunmeng's daughter of Li Zheng, who took her daughter Yingying to Yangwu County, borrowed the Shi family in Wuyi Lane, and was twenty years old.

The name of the fourth line is, Wan'er.

Notes: Twice, once begging for mercy and once encouraging. It is suspected that Yan Wan'er, the daughter of Yan Yi, the shopkeeper of Yanji South Goods Store on Gongchen Street, Yangwu County, is 17 years old.

The fourth line, Brother Meng.

Notes: Twice, tone commanded. It is suspected to be the head catcher Shi Meng of Yangwu County, 32 years old.

Fifth line, Janch.

Notes: Once, he was depressed and expressed contempt for his extravagance. The rest is unknown.

The sixth line, Xiaobai.

Notes: Once, the tone was apologetic. The rest is unknown

Seventh row, pretty sister.

Notes: Once, the tone was excited, and I suspected that it was a big gift package. The rest is unknown.

This line is different from the others, with an extra row of dots next to the "pretty sister", a total of eight.

The last line is a sentence, level the world, prove longevity.

Notes: Five times, with a flat tone, seemingly taken for granted.

Liu Ruofei "snapped" the fold, but she didn't know where to put it. The dignified golden branches and jade leaves, the clothes are not like ordinary people with inner bags, and they refuse to hand them over to the clerk female official, so they simply took them in their hands and hurried out, and hurriedly said to the minister of state and the sacrificial wine as they walked:

"There is something important in the palace, and the palace will go first. You will meet with the mission and ask for clarification. ”

The two old men immediately blinked, and they couldn't find the north. If there is something in the palace, can it be more important than the news brought back by the mission?

A group of palace maids surrounded Liu Ruofei through the zigzag corridor and came to the core of the palace.

It was a three-storey wooden building with at least two feet of wide space around it, not connected to any buildings.

However, only a few feet away, the details of the entire wooden building are not real. It seems to be covered with a layer of transparent crystal, which is colorful and brilliant in the sun.

A magpie flew in from afar and wanted to rest on the roof of the wooden building.

The birds standing on the cornices of the palace on the side tilted their heads to look at it, and chirped, as if to say, look at the hillbilly.

Sure enough, the magpie retracted its wings and obviously landed on the top of the building, but it couldn't step on the ground by half a foot, and its whole body rolled down the periphery of the wooden building, as if it was rolled into an invisible waterfall. It was useless to flutter the wings desperately, because the legs and claws were not real, and they could not fly with strength.

The poor magpie fell with a blue nose and swollen face, rolled to Liu Ruofei's feet, and couldn't struggle.

The birds on the cornices jumped excitedly and exchanged ears. It seems that they often watch such tricks and laugh with joy, what a stupid bird!

Liu Ruofei held the magpie in her hand with pity, stroked the black and white feathers, her eyes were filled with hazy tears, and she said softly: "Are you here to report the good news to me?"

After speaking, she handed the magpie to a palace maid behind her, and said, "Quickly send it to the imperial doctor, let it heal its injuries and fly away." ”

The "crystal cover" on the periphery of the wooden building is still changing light and shadow, and a clear door-like hole is exposed. Liu Ruofei walked in, but the palace maids did not follow up.

Entering the building, the five sword maids bowed their heads and saluted, led by a bronze tire realm master.

Liu Ruofei stopped and hurriedly asked, Chunlan, is he awake?

The head sword maid looked happy and said, "Princess Bing, you just woke up." ”

Slender hand patted the chest that began to show mountain dew, Liu Ruofei breathed a long sigh of relief and came to a staircase that rotated downward. At this time, she couldn't care about being reserved, raised the hem of her skirt with both hands, and walked down the two steps step by step. A line of egg night pearls on the wooden wall winds downward, illuminating the narrow and dark stairwell as if it were day.

Five swordsmen stood vigilantly at the top of the stairs.

After descending the thirty-six steps, there was a moon gate in front of me. A faint white mist drifted through the door, but it was separated by something invisible, and it did not float outside the door.

There was a bronze beast head on the wall on the right, and Liu Ruofei pressed her palm on, and the mana was revealed.

The two eyes of the beast head lit up, the invisible door opened, and a white mist drifted out.

Liu Ruofei breathed slowly and walked in with a dignified gait.

There is a large piece of white jade in front of him, warm and pure, one zhang and two feet long, eight feet wide, and a rectangular groove is dug out in the middle.

A naked, very good-looking young man was lying in a groove, opened his eyes, and smiled slightly.
