Great Tang princess

Chapter 57 Soap Making Experiments
Once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, I feel that time has become much faster, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

Li Yuechen came to the court hall to listen to the news as usual, and there was nothing special recently.

In addition to the fact that the Guanzhong area is still plagued by drought, there is another thing, Xu Wang Li Yuanli died.

Li Yuechen didn't have the slightest feeling for this uncle who had never met before but only heard about it, so his expression was still the same as usual.

But Li Zhi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, always wanted to express himself, and immediately ordered the coffin to be given, and at the same time, he was buried with him in the mausoleum according to the etiquette system.

Most of the time when Li Yuechen came to listen to the news, he would not leave after listening, but would wait for Li Zhi and Wu Zexia to go back with them.

It was the same today, after announcing his next court, Li Zhi quickly walked a few steps to the passage, knelt down and picked her up with all his strength.

"Ouch, I've gained a lot of weight recently!" Li Zhi smiled.

Wu Zetian nodded: "That's true, the naked eye is growing up day by day."

Li Yuechen chuckled: "When the child grows up, he can hug Grandpa and Grandma."

The family walked out of the palace with a smile. Obviously, Li Zhi didn't seem to have any impression of Li Yuanli, and he didn't show any sadness about his death.

They fought with the two for a while, because Wu Zetian still had to review the memorial, so Li Yuechen didn't stay long, said goodbye and went back.

After returning to his Anfu Hall, he squatted in front of the garden, grabbed a handful of soil and observed it, and then went to the back to wash his hands.

While washing his hands, he said to Fulai beside him: "Help me spread the news, find a kind of black stone in Bashu and Zhaoshan area, its shape is like branches and leaves often attached to the rock surface..."

Fu Lai nodded after writing it down: "Your Highness, can you use it urgently? This servant will send a fast horse to deliver the news immediately!"

Li Yuechen shook his head: "There is no need to waste people's money for this, and the need is not much at present. As long as you can bring a catty, you will be rewarded!"

"Here!" Fulai agreed with a salute.

After washing his hands, Li Yuechen patted his clothes directly: "By the way, help me find some caustic soda, lard, salt..."

After Li Yuechen finished speaking, Fulai recited it silently, and then immediately found someone to do it.

While Fulai went to prepare the materials, Li Yuechen was not idle, and took Xiao He to the craftsman supervisor, asking the craftsmen to help make molds and egg beaters.

The shape of the soap can be chosen as it will be in the future. After roughly drawing a picture, the carpenter patted his chest and said it was okay.

It's just that the molds Li Yuechen needs are not too small, and it may take five or six days to get them done.

Li Yuechen waved his hand and said that there is no rush, as long as it is done well.

When I returned to Anfu Hall, I saw Shangguan Wan'er playing rope skipping perhaps because she was bored.

Seeing Li Yuechen coming back, she put down the rope and ran over: "Your Highness, how about playing with the rope together?"

"Okay."

Li Yuechen was free anyway, so he planned to play with her.

A young eunuch came in from outside the door at this time, and after saluting, he said, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness is at Qiujing Gate, I hope His Highness will come down and meet you."

"Okay, let's go!"

Li Yuechen agreed, and smiled at Shangguan Wan'er: "I'll take you to play when I come back."

As he said that, he rode on his small tricycle and followed the little eunuch to Qiujingmen.

From a distance, he could see the youngest Li Xianbai standing at the door kicking small stones on the ground boredly.

Seeing Li Yuechen coming on a small tricycle, he quickly stood on tiptoe and waved to her.

Li Yuechen kicked a few times quickly, and stopped in front of Li Xian, then got out of the car, and looked down at his body with a puzzled expression.

He was still muttering to himself: "It seems that the growth has really been very fast recently, and this car feels like it will almost have no room to sit in."

Li Xian didn't know what she was muttering, so he took a step forward: "Yuechen..."

"Well, what is the third brother looking for?" Li Yuechen raised his head and asked.

"It's really boring recently, does Yuechen have anything new?" Li Xian asked.

Hearing his words, Li Yuechen was a little puzzled: "Aren't you afraid of being punished by your parents if you don't study hard when you're bored?"

Li Xian suddenly looked resentful: "You girl, your tone is just like my mother's! Don't make fun of my brother."

"Okay, okay." Li Yuechen nodded, "What kind of plaything does brother want?"

After thinking for a while with his eyes closed, Li Xian said, "It's best if more people can play together, brother also wants to be a family."

That's it, then mahjong won't work... Li Yuechen thought to himself.

After all, mahjong can only be played by up to four people. If you want to play with a family, this is not enough.

Although there is a "fishing" style of playing mahjong in some places, Li Yuechen himself doesn't like it.

Still the same sentence, I dare not brag about anything else, but when it comes to playing, I am afraid that no one in this era is better at playing than her.

Bet on the honor of my Red Bull sponsoring athletes, and let you have fun!
"Since that's the case, go call Big Brother and the others. I'll go back and prepare." Li Yuechen waved his hand.

"Oh? Yuechen was already prepared?" Li Xian looked curious.

He has no interest in cockfighting or Shuanglu recently, and really wants to play something new.

Li Yuechen didn't answer, but just smiled mysteriously, and rode his little tricycle all the way back to Anfu Hall.

In fact, many people have not developed entertainment activities in this era.

And since you want many people to play together, some simple games can also achieve the same effect.

After returning to Anfu Hall, before Li Yuechen got out of the car, he waved to Xiao He: "Go and find me a longer rope."

"How long will it be, Your Highness?"

"About three feet." Li Yuechen replied.

That's right, although there is rope skipping in this era, there is no such thing as big rope skipping, and today they can be happy together.

It's best to call Mom and Dad by the way, the two of them also need to exercise occasionally.

There is no way, even a player sponsored by Red Bull, without equipment, is still a smart woman who can't cook without rice...

Soon, Xiao He found a rope about ten meters long and came back.

Li Yuechen put the coiled rope on the shelf under the seat of the tricycle, and then waved to Shangguan Wan'er: "Go, I'll take you to play with the big rope."

"Your Highness wants to perform Taoism?" Shangguan Wan'er came over and asked.

Li Yuechen's complexion turned dark, and he secretly thought in his heart that the homonym is about to deduct money, do you know?

"Xiao He, tell my two elder sisters to come and play with me at Qiujingmen."

Then he waved his hand, beckoning Shangguan Wan'er to step on the shelf behind the seat, and then took her to the Qiujing Gate on the small tricycle.

When I came to Qiujingmen, I saw several brothers also arrived at the same time.

"Look, Yuechen is here." Li Xian stretched out his hand and pointed.

As soon as Li Hong turned his head, he saw Li Yuechen coming over on his small tricycle, and Shangguan Wan'er was still standing on the shelf behind.

"It's so brave to let Yuechen carry you!" Li Xian's face darkened when he saw this scene.

Shangguan Wan'er took a step back subconsciously.

"Second brother, don't scold her, I brought her here." Li Yuechen waved his hand.Then take out the rope from under the frame.

"How do we play together?" Li Xian asked with raised eyebrows.

"Brother, have you ever played Tousuo?" Li Yuechen asked.

Li Xian nodded: "Of course, but the rope is so long, how can I play?"

Li Yuechen didn't bother to explain, so he directly handed over the two eunuchs next to him to be in charge of shaking the rope, and then began to explain to them.

……

In Renshou Hall, Li Zhi was lying on a rocking chair, drinking tea while holding a health ball in his hand.

From time to time, I chatted with Wu Zetian who was reviewing the memorial on the table next to me, and talked about recent state affairs and so on.

Suddenly, a crisp sound of "crack, crack" was heard outside.

It's like the crisp sound that a whip makes after it is whipped on the ground, or some whips made of animal skin will make such a sound when they are waved in the air.

Li Zhi frowned: "What's the noise outside?"

Zhang Chengxin walked in and replied respectfully: "Return to the saint, it's your highness who are playing at the Qiujing gate."

Wu Zetian frowned: "A bunch of bastards! They ran to Qiujingmen to play?"

While talking, he stood up and wanted to go out and teach them a lesson.

Li Zhi on the side still had a smile on his face, stood up and walked out of Renshou Hall side by side with Wu Zetian.

When they came to Qiujing Gate, they could see two eunuchs dangling a long rope from a distance.

Several of my own children and one Shangguan Wan'er were bouncing and jumping in the middle of the long swaying rope. From time to time, some people would come out and then go in with the swaying gap of the rope, having a great time playing.

The sound of "popping" came from the rope whipping on the stone-paved floor.

Seeing the couple coming, everyone stopped and saluted and said hello.

Wu Zetian turned his head to look at Li Zhi, as if asking him with his eyes if he wanted to teach them a lesson.

But Li Zhi obviously didn't mean that, the health care ball in his hand was flying fast, but he had a smile on his face: "I think it's very interesting to watch this large torus, why don't you play with them."

Wu Zetian sighed and shook his head lightly, obviously he had expected this result long ago.

Li Yuechen ran over: "Grandma and Auntie, let's play together, you should warm up and get some air if you are always bored in the palace."

"Okay, let's play together over there." Li Zhi became interested.

After hearing Li Yuechen's explanation, he handed the health ball to Zhang Chengxin, rolled up his sleeves twice, and prepared to rush in.

The two eunuchs who were in charge of shaking the rope were a little shivering, thinking that if the saint whipped it all at once, they would lose their heads.

Perhaps seeing the hesitation of the two, Li Zhi waved his hands and said domineeringly: "Don't worry, even if you hit me, you won't be punished!"

After hearing Li Zhi's order, the two eunuchs felt relieved and began to shake the rope.

It can be seen from their tense expressions that the two of them are highly focused and very nervous at this moment.

Li Yuechen smiled and waved his hands to make them relax, and then shook Wu Zetian's hand beside him: "How about a Niang?"

"Forget it for me, it's not very convenient these days." Wu Zetian shook his head.

Li Yuechen curled his lips to show that he knew.

"It's you, on the contrary, you must not play in such a place next time." Wu Zetian lowered his head and taught, "If the people at Yushitai find out, your grandpa will definitely get sick again."

"It's okay, if they dare to be angry with Grandpa, the boy will take a few brothers to beat up his younger generation." Li Yuechen laughed.

Wu Zetian pushed her head aside and scolded with a smile: "You damn girl!"

Li Yuechen grabbed her arm and gave her a hug with a smile.

……

The emperor took his sons and daughters to play with the big rope for a while, and after sweating all over, Wu Zetian advised him not to move too much, it is better to take a bath quickly.

The brothers also had a good time playing, after all, it is a very novel thing, and there has never been such a way of playing before.

Li Xian secretly came to Li Yuechen's side: "I never imagined that a Tousuo can play such a game, Yuechen is an eye-opener for Brother Wei."

"Since when did Sanlang become civilized?" Li Xian on the side smiled.

"This...you always have to..."

Li Yuechen patted his slightly protruding belly directly: "Don't worry, the image of the third brother in Yuechen's heart has always been tall and bright!"

"..."

Although the words were sweet, Li Xian always felt that these words were purely for comforting himself.

Li Lun next to him raised his hand: "Me too!"

"Hahaha..." Li Hong couldn't help laughing, but because he was in poor health since he was a child, he couldn't catch his breath, and started coughing when he laughed.

Li Yuechen hurried over to help him with his back, and he almost couldn't help laughing.

The afternoon passed in a blink of an eye, and today was a fun day.

Shangguan Wan'er was still standing behind Xiaosanlun's shelf, and was brought back to Anfu Hall by Li Yuechen.

After getting off the car, Shangguan Wan'er walked in side by side with her, came to the entrance of the main hall, was taking off her shoes, and suddenly said: "Your Highness really has a fantastic idea, I never thought that Tuosuo can play like this."

"There are a lot of fun things, but it's a pity that I can't play them now." Li Yuechen shook his head regretfully.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't know what she meant, and was about to ask in detail, but saw that she had already walked in.

……

Three days later, the craftsman delivered the finished mold and egg beater.

Li Yuechen picked it up and looked at it, feeling very good, basically the same shape as the future soap.

Now that the mold is in place, it's almost time to start making it.

Li Yuechen immediately asked Fulai to find several large porcelain pots, and then prepared all the materials, and started the process of making soap.

The next afternoon, when Fulai entered the backyard, he saw a little eunuch holding an eggbeater made of more than a dozen wires and stirring vigorously in front of the large porcelain pot below, and two eunuchs were fixed on the left and right. Porcelain basin prevents movement.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Li Yuechen, who was wearing a simple ponytail, kept urging.

The eunuch in charge of stirring kept waving his arms, stirring the gradually viscous liquid in the porcelain pot.

After a while, he was out of breath, and Li Yuechen immediately asked another eunuch next to him to take the top.

Li Yuechen held a bag of salt beside him, probed to see what was inside, grabbed a handful and sprinkled it in lightly.

While sprinkling, he urged the eunuch who was in charge of stirring: "Quickly! Faster! Harder!"

The urged eunuch gritted his teeth and quickly turned his arms, stirring frantically.

Seeing that this one was also starting to be out of breath, Li Yuechen ordered the next one to come on top.

During this process of constant stirring, the liquid in the porcelain jar gradually became more and more viscous...
