Chapter 133 Envoys from Various Countries
Chapter 133 Envoys from Various Countries
The amusement palace is almost completed, and it's time to start preparing things. Mahjong is definitely one of the things to do, as it is the most important thing.
Her original intention was to build an entertainment venue inside the palace where she could go in and have some fun, so that she could relax.
If you have something to do, you won't be thinking about useless things all day long.
But mahjong didn't exist at that time, so it was not an easy task to make it.
However, there are detailed explanations in the encyclopedia, so you can give it a try.
Xia Qingqing went to the farm and called a few people to play mahjong so that they didn't have to go to open up the wasteland.
They were brought to Xia Qingqing, looking confused, not knowing why they were called here.
"From today on, you don't have to go to open up wasteland."
Before Xia Qingqing could finish her words, the people immediately knelt down with panic on their faces.
"Princess, do you know what we have done wrong? We have been working really hard during this period and have never been lazy. My family depends on me. Please don't drive me away."
The other people were also very excited and thought that Xia Qingqing was going to drive them away. It was Wu Zhi who said this.
"Don't be like this. The princess didn't say she was going to drive you away."
They were shocked and their expressions froze. Wasn’t he going to drive them away?
So what are you bringing them here for?
They were all full of doubts, so Xia Qingqing told them that she was going to play mahjong.
"Princess, we have never seen the Mahjong you are talking about, and we don't know how to make it."
"It doesn't matter if you can't do it. I will teach you. Don't worry."
Hearing that they were not being driven away but being asked to do new work, they breathed a sigh of relief and stayed where they were, waiting for Xia Qingqing to give them orders.
"First, make these cow bones into small cubes."
Xia Qingqing asked her servants to go out and buy those cow bones for her. These cow bones are good materials for making mahjong.
First cut the beef bones into small pieces, then put these small pieces of beef bones into boiling water and steam them for an hour.
This can effectively remove the remaining blood and bone marrow in the cow bones. After an hour, the cow bones are fished out and exposed to the sun.
There is no sun these days, so we may have to wait a few more days to dry the beef bones in the sun. The sun in early spring is not very strong, but it is still possible to dry the beef bones in the sun.
But we can't dry them in the sun today, so let's have someone put them in the greenhouse to dry. They all need heat, and the heat in the greenhouse should be enough, so maybe it can work.
Although I have never done it, it is always okay to try, just in case you succeed.
They asked people to put all the beef bones in the greenhouse to dry, and they watched from inside and told them that it would be ok once the beef bones were dry.
After finishing these days, it was almost dark. I had to go back to the palace first and come back tomorrow.
When Xia Qingqing was returning to her own courtyard, she would pass by the Queen's room. The noise startled the Queen, and halfway through her walk, Tan Yun hurried out.
"Princess, little princess, please wait."
Xia Qingqing stopped when she heard the voice, and when she saw it was Tan Yun, she knew it might be her mother looking for her.
"Aunt Tanyun, is it my mother who is looking for me?"
Tan Yun looked at Xia Qingqing and smiled kindly, "Yes, the Queen heard you coming back and hurriedly asked me to come and teach you."
"Mom, is there something wrong?" He never called her when there was nothing wrong in the past. This was abnormal. I guess something must have happened.
"Little Princess, why don't you go in and talk to the Queen in person?"
Xia Qingqing had no choice but to go in. When she went in, the queen was eating snacks, and Tan Yun's voice rang out.
"Your Majesty, the princess is here."
When the queen heard the voice, she immediately turned around and waved at Xia Qingqing when she saw her. Xia Qingqing ran into her arms.
"Are you coming back so late today?"
Xia Qingqing looked at the snacks on the table with a guilty conscience and exclaimed, "Mother, what is this?"
The Queen saw through all of Xia Qingqing's little moves. She was not distracted by her feints and continued to stare at her.
Seeing that the Queen was not fooled, Xia Qingqing turned to look at her guiltily and could only answer the question just now.
"Mom, I just came back."
Xia Qingqing hugged the queen's arm and spoke coquettishly. The queen tapped Xia Qingqing's forehead helplessly and said.
"You, what can I say to you?"
How come a good daughter has started to act like those sons? I thought a daughter would be able to accompany me, but I didn't expect that my daughter would be busier than my sons.
Xia Qingqing stuck out her tongue, "Mom, do you have anything to say to Nannan?"
If she hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten it, "Yes, I almost forgot it."
"In a few days, envoys from various countries will be coming here. They are all here because they heard about our greenhouse vegetables, so you should stay out of the palace less often."
Are there envoys from other countries? Xia Qingqing looked at the queen curiously and asked.
"why?"
There are so many things to do outside the palace, how can they just not leave? Besides, even if they come here, they can't stay for long, right?
Xia Qingqing didn't care. It had nothing to do with her as a child. When the Queen saw Xia Qingqing's nonchalant look, she knew that she definitely didn't take what she had just said to heart.
"You have to remember that when the time comes, your mother will not let you leave the palace. When people from other countries come, the capital will be in chaos. They all know that you are the little princess. If something really happens, it will be too late."
The Queen looked at Xia Qingqing worriedly, "Mother knows you don't like staying in the palace, but you just need to stay in the palace until they return. Mother is not stopping you from going out."
Xia Qingqing knew her current identity. The identity of a princess was enough to make people jealous, and she was also the emperor's most beloved princess.
If someone with ulterior motives knew her true identity, she might really be kidnapped. This is not a society ruled by law, so she'd better be careful.
"Yes, mother, Nannan knows. When the time comes, Nannan will definitely stay in the palace obediently and won't go out casually."
The queen was pleased with Xia Qingqing's well-behaved appearance. She touched her head and whispered softly.
"Okay, it's getting late, go back and rest. If there's anything you want to do, do it now."
