"Look at the moon." Mingruo looked up at the crescent moon hanging high in the night sky.
Mingruo felt that the night wind was stronger at high places and it was much cooler, so she asked her boyfriend to take her to the roof to bask in the moon. Yan Zhaobai's mouth twitched, it was not the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so there was nothing to appreciate.
"Brother Five, what do you want from me?" Mingruo picked off the small cluster of flowers from the cinnamon branch and put it in Si Haochen's palm.
"Where is your former maid Jixue now?" He was hit hard by dog food, which made him a little confused. Only when Xiao Jiuer asked, Yan Zhaobai remembered the business.
Ji Xue poured "One Dream for Years" into the sour plum soup and gave it to Ming Ruo to drink. Not a drop of the two bowls of sour plum soup was wasted, and she gave them to Ji Xue to drink... This matter is considered over here in Ming Ruo. As for Ming Ruo,
She no longer cared about how Si Haochen handled it.
Ming Ruo asked Si Haochen with his eyes. Si Haochen would not handle such a small person personally. Qin Mo would take care of it: "If he is not dead, he should still be locked up in the dungeon."
"I want to inquire about something." Yan Zhaobai felt that since Xiao Jiu'er didn't complain to him, he would investigate on his own. Anyway, he couldn't let Xiao Jiu'er be bullied in vain.
"Even if that person is not dead, he probably won't be much better. It's been a bumpy ride all the way here, so I'm afraid he'll be dead." With Qin Mo's tendency to play tricks on others, it's really his fate if he doesn't get tortured to death.
Hard enough.
"When you return to Donghuan, I will be with you." Even if Jixue is not interrogated, the culprit Yan Mingyu is also in Donghuan, and he must leave this time.
"It's up to you." Si Haochen didn't pay attention to these trivial matters at all.
Mingruo collected all the osmanthus petals placed in Si Haochen's palm and put them into a sachet. She brought it to the tip of her nose and smelled it. The aroma was particularly strong: "It smells very good."
"We have to leave early tomorrow so that we can hurry up in the early morning when it's not too hot." Yan Zhaobai confessed, jumped off the roof and returned to the bedroom.
"Then let's go to bed early and get up early." Mingruo stood up, opened her arms and let the night wind fill her sleeves, her clothes fluttering, like a fairy about to ride the wind.
"Okay." Si Haochen held the little girl's waist, and the two of them fell steadily into the yard.#@$&
Mingruo washed up and put on her pajamas. In order to sleep better, she took out the magic ice beads given by her senior brother from her 'sleeve pocket' and put it on the dressing table. The warm jade box opened a crack, revealing the slightest hint of coolness.
.
"I forgot about these beads. I should have taken them out earlier." Si Haochen dried Mingruo's long hair bit by bit.
"I also saw it in the afternoon when I was sorting out books in the space..." Mingruo also felt very upset that he had forgotten the summer vacation artifact given by his senior brother - he was just begging for food with a golden bowl in his hands!
The next day, a group of people arrived at the dock early. Yan Zhaobai prepared a warship. Although the warship was made of wood, it actually had a metallic luster after being painted with tung oil.
Ming Ruo stroked the side of the ship and felt that the wood was extremely hard. I am afraid that even if he cuts it with a knife or ax, it will not leave any trace.%&(&
"Is this boat made of iron nanmu?" Si Haochen raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Exactly." Yan Zhaobai said with a little pride in his tone.
Iron nanmu is a specialty of Zhongzhou. It is said that when the Yunmeng Empire ruled the Mythical Continent, all navy warships were made of iron nanmu. It can be said that it was omnipotent.
Yan Zhaobai also wanted to build a navy composed of iron nanmu buildings and warships. Unfortunately, this iron nanmu was extremely rare in Nanrong, and it was completely absent in the other three countries. Moreover, due to the hard wood, the growth rate was extremely slow. Newly grown trees
After ten years of growth, it is only as thick as a sugar cane. This building was built by Yan Zhaobai's grandfather after thirty years of collecting iron nanmu from all over the country.
"This boat is nice." Si Haochen rarely praised something.
The building ship is very big. From the deck, it has two floors, upper and lower, and there should be a trough under the cabin. Since it is a warship, archers and slingshots are also installed on the ship, which looks very majestic and domineering.
"Such a ship shouldn't be robbed by water bandits, right?" Mingruo didn't go to the second floor, but only walked around on the first floor.
"Of course not." Yan Zhaobai said with a smile, "The water bandits are so crazy that they came to rob the warship."
"Hey, it seems that there is no business coming to the door." Mingruo shook her fan and went into the cabin to rest.
"What kind of business do you want to do?" Yan Zhaobai was a little curious.
"Ahem, our White Tiger Gang specializes in robbing the rich to give to the rich." Mingruo sat by the window, opened the window, and the river breeze passed through the room, bringing coolness to the room.
"You little girl, are you going to rob the water bandits?" Yan Zhaobai's eyes and eyebrows began to dance.
"What Fifth Brother said is too unpleasant. We are just trying to eliminate violence and keep good people safe, and we are just collecting some rewards." Mingruo said seriously.
Yan Zhaobai was really defeated by Xiao Jiuer's logic. The water bandits paid for him to deal with him - obviously they were gangsters, and they were so righteous...
My little sister was not this thick-faced and sinister in the past. She must have been led astray by the black sesame glutinous rice balls.
If His Highness Prince Yun knew what Yan Zhaobai thought, he would roll his eyes to the sky. He would be surprised at the little girl's ability to deceive people and tell lies.
This battleship is indeed powerful and domineering. Not to mention water bandits, even official ships do not dare to provoke it. They can pass freely on the canal without any obstruction.
At noon on the third day, the warship arrived at the dock, and the group transferred to a carriage and headed for Qingyang Mountain.
Ever since Concubine Su moved to Qingyang Mountain to recuperate, Qingyang Temple has become the royal Taoist temple of the Nanrong royal family. Emperor Wen built a lot of construction on Qingyang Mountain, and the Taoist temple that was originally located on the mountainside was expanded to cover the entire mountain.
The temple at the foot of the mountain is open to the common people on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month. Royal relatives and nobles go to Qingyang Temple to offer incense and pray, but they can only visit the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain. The Taoist temple on the top of the mountain is dedicated to Zhongtian Ziwei, the North Pole Emperor.
Every year on the birthday of the Arctic Emperor, Emperor Wen would come with hundreds of civil and military officials to personally preside over birthday ceremonies.
As for the palace built at the southern foot of Qingyang Mountain, no one is allowed to enter or leave without authorization. This is where Su Guifei recuperates.
Qingyang Mountain was visited by the emperor's carriages, and the mountain road was extremely wide and flat, allowing four ordinary carriages to run parallelly. Mingruo's carriage did not enter the mountain gate, but went directly to the palace from the side of the mountain road.
The guards responsible for guarding Qingyang Temple were all personally selected by Yan Zhaobai. Mingruo came back privately this time and did not want to make it public.
Yan Zhaobai lifted a corner of the carriage curtain to reveal his face. The guards saluted one after another: "In this humble position, I bow to His Highness Prince Chun."
"No courtesy." Yan Zhaobai responded.
Since few people come in and out of the palace on weekdays, the palace door is closed even during the day. The guard quickly asked his colleagues to open the door from the inside, allowing His Royal Highness Prince Chun's car to enter.
Although the original owner grew up in the palace, he spent most of his time living in the inner palace. The carriage drove for another quarter of an hour and entered the second-floor palace gate. Only then did Mingruo feel that the scenery in front of him became familiar.
