"It's like cooking. I can only talk on paper. If I'm asked to do it myself, I might overturn." Steelmaking and coke distillation are all pure theory learned from textbooks with zero practical experience. Mingruo has no confidence at all. .
"Just like cooking." Si Haochen looked at Mingruo with gentle and caring eyes, "The concubine's cooking is very good."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Mingruo saluted with clasped fists solemnly.
Si Haochen's eyes and brows were all smiling. His princess was not only a clever little girl, but also a pistachio.
This trip to Luo City was not in vain. The goods here are more complete than those in the Imperial City, and the prices are also cheaper. Mingruo chose some clothing materials suitable for summer clothes and sent them back to the Imperial Capital together with the design drawings. She was also transported together with them. I bought the medicinal materials from the medicine hall and prepared the patent medicines. It’s just that I can’t go to the clinic this month. I must not stop using the traditional Chinese medicine.
After finishing this, Mingruo began to recall the process of retorting coke and steelmaking, first drawing a simple flow chart, and then adding explanations bit by bit. Si Haochen was on the other side of the desk, processing confidential letters sent from various places.
The study room was quiet, with only the candlelight flickering, and both of them looked equally serious.
After Si Haochen read the last memorial, he raised his head and saw Mingruo's eyes were slightly lowered, her slender fingers were holding a pen, and she was writing quickly. Si Haochen did not disturb her, and looked at it quietly for a while, then left. He went to the window and made a gesture to the outside.
After a while, a servant brought the stewed bird's nest. Fifteen took the stew, put it down gently, and then hid in the darkness.
Mingruo raised his head and rolled his stiff neck.
"Drink some sweet soup first." Si Haochen pushed the stew pot in front of Mingruo.
Mingruo was indeed thirsty and drank half a cup in one breath. Seeing Si Haochen looking at her with stern eyes, she felt a little embarrassed. She blinked her big innocent eyes and said, "Ahem, are you watching me chew peonies? "
"My family only has peony chewing cows." Si Haochen pinched Mingruo's cheek, picked up the stew pot next to him and took a few mouthfuls, "Is it okay to be the same as you?"
Looking at him with big wet eyes, Si Haochen's mouth was also dry.
Mingruo drank the remaining half of the bird's nest and began to sort out the drawings: "When will we set off tomorrow?"
"Chenshi."
"Oh." Mingruo put the drawing into his 'sleeve pocket', "I have to go to bed quickly, or I won't be able to get up tomorrow."
"good."
Early the next morning, it started to rain lightly.
I was busy in the study too late yesterday. Mingruo had changed her clothes and washed herself before she was fully awake.
Si Haochen felt a little distressed when he saw the little princess staring in confusion. He directly picked her up in the carriage and put her on the soft couch: "Go to sleep."
"Aren't you sleepy?" Mingruo pulled a cushion over to rest on her head.
"Is your concubine inviting me?" Si Haochen had an evil smile on his lips.
"You are overthinking, pretend I didn't ask." Mingruo curled up into a small ball and fell asleep quickly.
It was almost noon when Mingruo woke up. He rubbed his eyes and sat up.
"Have you slept?" Si Haochen put down the report in his hand and turned his head to look at Mingruo.
"Hmm." Mingruo opened the curtains and took a look. They were walking on a small road in the suburbs. It was misty and rainy and had a unique charm.
"Are you hungry? There are snacks in the food box." Si Haochen picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for Mingruo.
"Not too hungry." Mingruo opened the food box, which contained a plate of almond cake and a plate of white rice cake.
Mingruo picked up a piece of almond cake and was about to eat it when he heard the sound of swords clashing. He was so frightened that the almond cake fell off the table.
Si Haochen held Ming Ruo in his arms and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
"There's someone fighting in the woods ahead. Ah Si has already gone over to check." Ah Yi replied outside the carriage.
Mingruo breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't come for them.
Ah Si came back quickly and said, "Master, the people from the Evil Ghost Alliance are chasing the prince."
Si Haochen raised his eyebrows slightly and thought for a moment: "Save people."
"Yes." Ah Si took the order and left.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ah Yi got the prince with a large blood stain on his chest onto the carriage. Looking at the prince's half-dead look, Ming Ruo thought he could not be saved.
The prince tried his best to open his heavy eyelids. The moment he saw Si Haochen, he almost shed tears: "Uncle Yun Huang."
"Yeah." Although Si Haochen was disgusted, he still went over to see the prince's injury. There was a lot of blood, but the wound was on the shoulder and should not be life-threatening.
Probably because he finally saw his relatives, the prince finally passed out with peace of mind.
Mingruo also stepped forward to check the prince's injury. Although the injury was not fatal, it was indeed not serious. He applied anesthetic first, then washed the wound, sutured and bandaged it. Mingruo treated the injury very quickly. Si Haochen felt that if the military doctor had
With half her ability, she wouldn't suffer so many casualties every time she fights.
The prince's condition was not suitable for moving, so Mingruo took a thin quilt and covered him with it.
Mingruo sat back on the couch, took out the drawings he drew last night and looked at them silently.
Si Haochen looked outside the car: "We're almost there."
"Oh." Mingruo now has an accurate understanding of the speed of the carriage. Si Haochen's 'almost there' means - another hour of walking.
At first glance, this Dongshan Villa is not for leisure and vacation. Everything is very original, without any artificial scenery. The main courtyard is a courtyard as soon as you enter, with three large tile-roofed houses in the front and east and west wing rooms. There is a tree in the yard
It's quite a big tree, but it doesn't have any flowers, so I can't tell what kind of tree it is.
The prince was carried to the east wing by Ah Yi and Fifteen on a simple stretcher made of thin quilts. Si Haochen asked the head of the village to find the mother-in-law and the servant to serve him.
Mingruo walked into the main house. The house didn't look like much from the outside, but it was fully furnished and furnished inside, so it should be very comfortable to live in.
Si Haochen asked people to prepare meals, and Mingruo soon had a hot lunch. Si Haochen kept picking up food for Mingruo, so much that Mingruo couldn't finish it.
"Don't hold it for me, I'm full." Mingruo put down his chopsticks, indicating that he couldn't eat any more.
"You didn't have breakfast today."
"It's impossible to eat two meals in one meal." Mingruo looked out the window and found that not only had the rain stopped, but the sun had come out.
Mingruo ran out and raised his head and saw a clear blue sky and a rainbow across the sky: "Si Haochen, come and see the rainbow."
Si Haochen also walked out and stood behind Mingruo: "It's just Changhong, why are you so happy?"
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Mingruo looked at it for a while before saying, "Let's go see the corn."
"good."
Not long after the corn was planted, only a few small buds popped up. From a distance, it looked green and green, like a carpet, which was quite cute.
Mingruo squatted on the ground and looked at the cute little sprouts: "These corns have been harvested and are used to grow food. If someone destroys them, it will take another year. You shouldn't bring the prince here."
