Iron birch should be the hardest wood in the world, right? It is twice as hard as ordinary steel.
In modern times, iron birch is an endangered wild plant. In the past, people used iron birch to replace metal, and they also made gadgets, but the price was relatively expensive.
However, today she clearly saw that the Supreme Emperor used a saw to cut short, and it was very difficult to carve such a hard wood, right? You couldn't use a diamond knife to carve it, right?
"The Emperor himself carved it, this shouldn't be iron birch!" Yuan Qing Ling said.
Aunt Xi smiled and said, "Only the Supreme Emperor can carve this, and ordinary guards can't do it."
"The Supreme Emperor is ill and has no strength to walk. How can he carve such hard wood?" Yuan Qingling asked curiously. It sounds like the Supreme Emperor is very powerful.
"The lack of strength to walk is due to illness. When the Emperor was young, he was the most powerful warrior in the Northern Tang Dynasty. He was good both internally and externally. Now that he is older and sicker, he still has the inner strength to sculpt."
"Is there really such a thing as internal strength?" Yuan Qingling was even more curious. It is said in martial arts novels that when internal strength reaches a certain level, one can fly flowers and pick leaves to hurt people.
Aunt Xi was about to explain when she saw a figure flashing at the door. She took a closer look and said, "Hey, the prince is coming so late!"
When Yu Wenhao heard that the rewards from the palace had arrived, he wanted to take a peek at the door. Since he was discovered by Grandma Xi, he came in generously and casually glanced at the imperial staff in Yuan Qingling's hand, "This is the Imperial Grandfather.
A reward?"
"Yes, the carving is very exquisite. Please take a look, Your Majesty." Yuan Qingling stretched out his hand.
Yu Wenhao didn't expect her to be so generous, so he was a little surprised, so he took it and stroked it carefully. His fingertips traced the dragon pattern, and it felt cold and bumpy. "The carving is indeed exquisite. It's a good thing. This is really a treasure.
You must find a place to hide it, and you cannot take it out casually. At least, you must not take it unless it is an emergency. Once it is lost, it will be a serious crime. I will put it away for you."
"No, I'll put it away myself. I'll keep it with me." Yuan Qingling took it back with one hand and hid it for him. Wouldn't that have lost the meaning of the royal staff?
"How can I carry this with me? What should I do if I lose it?" Yu Wenhao said seriously.
Yuan Qing Ling said: "I will be careful."
However, although this thing is only as thick as a thumb, it is also one meter long. It is difficult to carry it out with you.
It doesn't work even if you carry it on your back, it's like carrying it on your back to apologize.
She gestured, very irritated.
Aunt Xi smiled and said, "Princess, please take a closer look at the fire pattern."
Yuan Qingling quickly lowered his head and took a closer look. There were fire patterns near the dragon pattern and the dragon body, and the fire patterns were regular. There was a fire pattern about ten centimeters away.
The fire pattern is carved relatively deep, deeper than Panlong. It really doesn't seem to be used as a foil for the background pattern.
Yuan Qingling pressed down on the fire pattern, and with a "swish" sound, the royal staff actually retracted one section.
She was startled, then pressed the second fire pattern and retracted it one more section. She raised her head in surprise, "This one is telescopic and has a mechanism."
She pressed several fire patterns in succession, and finally the staff shrank to only about ten centimeters, which could be easily placed in her sleeve or pinned to her waist.
"How did you do this? Your Majesty is so amazing." Yuan Qingling was ecstatic. She works in research and development and is very interested in such exquisite mechanisms in this era.
Aunt Xi smiled and said: "When the Emperor was young, he was an excellent carpenter!"
"Amazing!" Yuan Qingling was extremely happy and said to Yu Wenhao: "Look, I can hide it myself." After saying that, she stuffed it into her sleeve pocket and disappeared.
Yu Wenhao glanced at Aunt Xi in annoyance, why did he tell her? If he didn't tell her, this stupid pig would never know about it in his life.
However, seeing her cheerful face, as delicate and bright as a flower, it was rare for her to be so happy. Forget it, she didn't dare to hit him anyway. They had agreed that there would be no domestic violence.
"I'm happy, mama, you go and get some food, and I'll have a drink with the prince."
"Forget it about drinking. I didn't eat much tonight, so I'll eat something with you."
"I have to train my drinking tolerance, otherwise I will suffer a lot in the future. Anyway, I will go to Prince Huai's Mansion tomorrow, so you can drink some with me." Yuan Qingling sincerely invited.
Yu Wenhao found that he could not resist her sincerity.
He shrugged, "Whatever, I just want to have a drink." She had to find some excuse, right? Lest she think he would listen to anything she said.
Yuan Qingling felt that she had to drink thousands of drinks without getting drunk. Once at least one weakness was discovered, this weakness would become her biggest threat.
With her skillful hands, her grandma can always make all kinds of delicious dishes.
Even the simplest ingredients can turn into magic in her hands. As Yuan Qingling ate, she couldn't help but smile: "Second brother has always said that the food cooked by the imperial chef is delicious, but that's because he has never tasted it before.
If he eats the cooked food, I'm afraid he will pack his bags and come to stay for a long time."
Yu Wenhao looked at her and said, "You seem to be very familiar with your second brother."
Yuan Qingling poured wine for him and filled a cup for himself. The small cup held about a sip of wine. The wine was clear in color and fragrant.
Yuan Qingling took a deep breath, then felt a little drunk, and smiled brightly, "Yeah, he's a nice person, but he's just a bit greedy."
"What?" Yu Wenhao sneered!
Yuan Qingling thought of Sun Wang's chubby body and plump fingers, and couldn't help but laugh again, "It's really not that bad, he is very greedy, and he always talks about losing weight."
"If he didn't clamor to lose weight, he would eat even more crazily."
“If you talk about losing weight, you may not stop eating if you don’t.”
Yu Wenhao didn't like that she always talked about her second brother, "He eats what he likes. Why do you care so much? You don't care about what you should care about."
"What do I have to do?" Yuan Qingling smelled the wine again, slowly building up the courage to drink the glass of liquid.
Yu Wenhao said angrily: "Why not? Such a big palace relies on Tang Yang for everything. As the mistress, don't you feel ashamed?"
Yuan Qingling said sarcastically: "I remember you told your grandma to just raise me like a dog."
Yu Wenhao became angry from embarrassment, "Do you especially like to argue with me?"
"Have you ever said that?" Yuan Qing Ling Ni glanced at him sideways.
He faced it, "You are so stingy. If you still remember things that happened so long ago. If you all remember the resentment, how about we discuss what happened in the princess's mansion a year ago?"
Weakness.
Yuan Qing Ling raised her wine glass with a smile, "Let's get drunk and forget our grudges!"
Yu Wenhao snorted, but still picked up the wine glass and clinked it with her, "My Lord, I have a lot. I won't argue with you. You can't go too far in the future."
He drank it all in one gulp, pointing the cup down to show Yuan Qingling.
Yuan Qingling took a sip and drank it in his mouth. It was spicy!
With a "pop" sound, everything spurted out.
Yu Wenhao was so angry that he was trembling all over. His mother-in-law hurriedly came forward to wipe the wine from his face. Oh my God, this spray was so accurate that it covered all his head and face.
Yu Wenhao slammed the table and said angrily: "Did you do it on purpose?"
Yuan Qingling slowly took out the royal staff, put it on the table, and explained sincerely, "The wine is too spicy!"
Yu Wenhao looked at the royal staff sluggishly, and after holding it for a long time, he calmly said to his nanny: "Change the old osmanthus wine, and the princess cannot drink strong wine."
Duobao, who was at the side, whined and turned the dog's head, unable to bear to look directly at it.
