Princess Changle, who had been playing all day, was sent back, and when she left, Xiao Rui handed her a box containing several gifts. For this reason, the little guy changed his tune and no longer called the big bad brother.

Xue Li and the others looked at the distant convoy, as well as Xiao Rui's confident smile, "Brother, are you sure you want to hand over that thing?" Princess Changle is still young, can she be trusted? ”

Xiao Rui smiled, "Silly brother, the emperor grounded Princess Xiangcheng, and the six-year-old Changle went out of the palace alone?" Without the deliberate connivance of the emperor or queen, let alone the palace gate, she couldn't get out of the house. Since these two are so calculating, how can I not accompany them? Dare to bully my dad and force me to comply? Neither can the emperor. ”

Li Junxian, who was following him, stopped talking, Xiao Rui noticed it, turned his head and joked: "Fifth uncle, don't tell Your Majesty this paragraph, it's too rebellious." ”

I, you...... Do you still know the great rebellion? Li Junxian waved his hand weakly, "Childe said and laughed, I am from the Xiao family." ”

In the inner garden of the palace, Xiao Changle finally came back in the evening, and the eldest grandson queen has been looking forward to it.

In the entire palace, there is only such a virtuous queen who understands that the emperor wears small shoes for the prime minister for the sake of his daughter, which is not a glorious thing. Xiao Yu is not an ordinary person, why is it so unpleasant? Therefore, Xiao Changle's trip seems to be playing, but it is actually the queen's efforts.

"I'm back, hehe, I'm back with a gift, look at it." Xiao Changle asked the maid to hold the box and send it.

Open it with your own hands, and the little guy will be introduced like a few treasures. The queen picked up a delicate mirror and exclaimed, "Is this—is it a mirror?" Is there such a delicate bronze mirror in the world? Amazing, it turns out that what I saw in the mirror in the past was so blurry. ”

Xiao Changle stretched out his hand and snatched the dressing mirror with a diameter of thirty centimeters, "Queen Mother, this mirror was given to Sister Xiangcheng by the eldest brother, not for you." ”

Oh? Not for me, for Xiangcheng?

The queen has seen the world, Rao is like this, and there is also a second of distraction, reluctantly glanced at it again, and then reacted, "Quick, come on, go and invite Xiangcheng to come over." ”

At this moment, the queen understood, Xiao Rui gave a gift to her daughter, which was agreed. In this way, the stalemate with His Majesty can be resolved.

"Since the mirror wasn't for me, what about these strings of red things?" The queen was not reckless this time.

Xiao Changle chuckled: "This is called a sugar gourd, it is a fruit picked by me and Erhua, and the eldest brother made it for me himself, it is sweet and sour, but it is delicious." Hehe, this is a gift for me, not for the queen mother. I can give you a taste, though. ”

Well...... Hiss...... My teeth are sore.

Empress Changsun's expression was entangled, but she chewed slowly, felt the sweet candy taste, and couldn't help but praise: "This is sugar?" The red fruit in the mountain is wrapped in a layer of sugar. That kid is really ingenious. However, it is to your liking. ”

Open a layer of boxes down, and inside is an uncooked potato stewed chicken, "Mother, big brother said, last time I went to play, you didn't eat well, so I gave a potato stewed chicken." It is said that people should put water in the pot and stew for half an hour before eating, and the seasonings are all in this cloth bag. ”

The queen's forehead hangs down with a black line, does this kid treat me as a foodie? Send me a dish? The mirror......

Thinking of the mirror, the queen suddenly realized, yes, such a rare treasure of the mirror, must be unique, he can be willing to give Xiangcheng, which shows his mind. Hey, what am I arguing with my two kids? It's good to have a heart.

"And this, this is for my father. The eldest brother said that he wanted me to hand it over to my father. Xiao Changle looked serious, and seemed to attach great importance to the small cloth bag in his hand.

The queen was curious, what is it? Take it and take a look, isn't this just a bag of salt! No, the color of this salt seems to be better than that used in the palace, delicate as sand, white as snow...... Well? What is it?

When he reached out and grabbed a handful to check the condition, he actually grabbed a small wooden sign from the salt bag, which read: "The method of refining non-toxic snow salt from poisonous salt mineral salt......

This is......

Can you refine toxic salt ore into non-toxic snow salt? Is there such a stunt in the world? If it can really be done, then there will be no shortage of salt in the world in the future.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the level of science and technology was insufficient, and human beings had not yet mastered the method of extracting salt from seawater. Salt is taken from natural salt wells or salt mines. However, salt wells are scarce in the world, and most of the salt mines are mined with poisonous salts mixed with countless impurities. This has led to a severe shortage of supply and demand, and the entire country is desperately short of salt.

Salt is only affordable for nobles or middle-class or above, and many ordinary people use salty strips of cloth to shabu-shabu, called 'vinegar cloth', which shows the difficulty of people's livelihood.

"Someone, please come over quickly." Empress Eldest Sun's hand trembled slightly.

Not long after, Princess Xiangcheng arrived first, and the queen patiently explained, and praised Xiao Rui through the mirror. Xiao Changle was very smart and helped explain: "Sister, I have quietly inquired in the village, and the eldest brother has been away from home a few days ago. ”

Princess Xiangcheng couldn't help laughing, rubbed her sister's little brain, and a tear slipped through the corner of her eye, "People are small and big." ”

"Oh, why do you all talk about people like that, and my big brother likes to rub my hair." Xiao Changle hid impatiently in his mother's arms.

"Xiangcheng, since it's all a misunderstanding, then this matter will be handed over to us, you have lost weight recently, so you will go back to recuperate. If you want to go out in two days, just go out at any time, and your father won't be grounded anymore. Take Changle to freshen up, and then we will have dinner together, and the queen mother will discuss things with your father. ”

waved away the two daughters, and the queen coughed lightly: "Okay Erlang, don't hide." Do you know that it's wrong to be grounded in Xiangcheng? Your daughter is like you, she does her best to ignore her selfishness and advises you to let Song Guogong go, you should be pleased. ”

Li Er walked in from the door awkwardly, "That's it, Xiangcheng is the same as you." Whoever wants to marry her, it must be a blessing, then Xiao Yu's family doesn't know how to lift, what's wrong with me venting my anger on my daughter? Guanyin, I'm in a hurry to come over, what's the matter? ”

The queen handed over the salt cloth bag, "The Xiao family's affairs are all misunderstandings, I'll talk about it later, you take a look at this first, Xiao Rui's child, let Changle bring you a gift." ”

What is it? Salt?

"It's not just salt, I think, what he wants to tell is that he has the ability to remove poison from poisonous salt mines and refine them into snow salt of this quality." The queen took out the wooden sign and explained.

How is this possible?

The emperor was stunned for three seconds, he couldn't believe such a thing at all, how many people in all dynasties and dynasties went to study for this matter, who succeeded? Xiao Rui is a yellow-mouthed child......

"Really, wouldn't you find someone to check the quality of this bag of salt? If I'm not mistaken, this bag of salt is not as good as him in the palace. Then there is only one possibility, from Xiao Rui's hand. ”

"Someone, send this thing to the Imperial Dining Room and Tai Hospital immediately. Let them find out the condition of the object and then verify whether it is safe. ”
