Great Tang princess

Chapter 605
When the carriage returned to the Princess Mansion, she wondered if she was a little tired today, but Shangguan Wan'er was already lying on the chair, and fell asleep with Li Yuechen's legs on her pillow.

The coachman jumped down from the driver's seat and was about to open the door when he saw Li Yuechen in the carriage waving his hand, so he immediately saluted and stepped back to leave.

Looking down at Shangguan Wan'er who was already asleep, and then at the white snow outside, Li Yuechen still let go of the idea of ​​carrying her back.

Although it is said that one hand can hold her back, the body temperature drops when one is sleeping, and it is easy to catch a cold when going out hastily, so it is better to wake her up first, and it is better to go out after getting used to it.

So she patted her shoulder lightly: "Wan'er, wake up, go back and sleep again."

"Um……"

Shangguan Wan'er opened her somewhat confused eyes: "Oh, I fell asleep."

Li Yuechen smiled: "Yes, I slept soundly, are you tired today?"

"It's the end of the year, and reports from all states and counties have been sent over. There are a lot of things to deal with recently..." Shangguan Wan'er rubbed her eyes.

"It's okay, I'll take a shower tomorrow, so I can take a good rest." Li Yuechen replied, "Okay, wake up a little bit, and then go back."

"Well... Speaking of which, His Highness made military music, why not teach Wan'er to sing." Shangguan Wan'er said, "It's just a good time to pass the time."

For this request, Li Yuechen was a little surprised: "I can't sing, military music... It's purely a new composition. However, it doesn't matter if I teach you to hum a few lines."

"Yeah, I'm listening carefully!" Shangguan Wan'er nodded, her face full of anticipation.

Li Yuechen smiled, and immediately hummed softly, while Shangguan Wan'er listened carefully, memorizing the melody.

In fact, Li Yuechen didn't listen to many songs at ordinary times, that is, he listened to them when he was free, so he didn't know many songs.

But her melody is obviously different from the music of this era in terms of style. Shangguan Wan'er usually enjoys court music with Wu Zetian, so she can clearly feel the difference.

The biggest difference was the lyrics. She couldn't understand the lyrics in Li Yuechen's mouth. It seemed to be in Chinese, but it didn't seem to be.

But she didn't ask directly, but listened quietly. Sometimes, music doesn't need to understand the lyrics to appreciate the feeling in the melody.

When they were almost fully awake, the two got out of the carriage, walked hand in hand in the courtyard of the Princess Mansion, and entered the house together.

In the spacious courtyard of the Princess Mansion, Li Yuechen's soft singing still echoed faintly in the wind.

"You took away my miss, but didn't say sorry~ The dark night we walked together turned into white snow~"

……

The next morning, as soon as Li Yuechen opened his eyes, he saw Shangguan Wan'er lying on his side, looking at her with his head propped on one hand.

"Not going to sleep for a while?"

"Well, I'm not sleepy anymore! With His Highness here, I slept soundly and didn't even have a dream!" Shangguan Wan'er replied.

Li Yuechen asked curiously while putting on his clothes: "Then what dreams do you have when I'm not around on weekdays?"

"It's all a dream of playing with His Highness, but the sky will turn pink and the grass will turn dark blue..." Shangguan Wan'er recalled.

It's so fantastic... Li Yuechen couldn't help thinking in his heart, logically speaking, adults wouldn't have such dreams, right?

However, dreams also seem to be related to the environment. After all, ancient people have never seen sci-fi movies, let alone concepts such as spaceships, so dreams should be much simpler than those of future people.

After all, dreams should also be related to cognition, and it seems normal for ancient people to have such dreams.

……

After finishing the daily exercise, I ate two bites of breakfast and started my day.

Li Yuechen had nothing to do today and didn't need to enter the palace, so he practiced in the courtyard with his Fang Tian painting halberd and sledgehammer.

Shangguan Wan'er was sitting at the door, burning hot tea while reading and practicing calligraphy with a pen and paper. She raised her head from time to time to see Li Yuechen who was constantly dancing in the yard.

There was no dialogue between the two, and it seemed quiet, but the atmosphere was extremely warm, and normal communication could already be achieved in each other's eyes.

The whole morning passed quickly, and when it was almost noon, Li Yuechen finally stopped.

Although it was winter, after several hours of strenuous exercise, the clothes all over his body were still soaked in sweat, and in the low temperature environment, his whole body emitted a white mist that was visible to the naked eye.

Now Li Yuechen looks like a legendary fairy, his body is faintly visible in the dense mist, adding a lot of mystery.

"Your Highness, don't stand outside, the hot water is ready, go wash up." Shangguan Wan'er urged.

"Well, take a break and go."

Li Yuechen agreed, took the towel handed by Xiaodong and walked over while wiping the sweat off his face, and entered the room to calm down his heavy breathing due to exercise.

Do not drink water or take a bath immediately after exercise. Especially after strenuous exercise, the heart rate and blood flow speed up. Even if you have done stretching exercises, it is best to climb up for a while to calm your body before doing other things.

After resting, Li Yuechen got up to take a bath.

Xiao He, who usually waits on her, has long since been replaced by a newcomer, Xiao Dong. Although she has memorized all the precautions for serving the princess during the training, it is really unexpected that this princess is so easy-going.

Li Yuechen lay on the edge of the tub with his head resting on his back, letting Xiao He help him wipe his back with a towel, closing his eyes very quietly.

Xiaodong, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help opening her eyes wide, observing the body lines of Her Royal Highness, which was called a work of art.

Different eras have different aesthetics. Let’s not talk about whether the concept of beauty is broad or not, but some cores are always figured out.

In this era, fat is considered beautiful, but behind this fatness is the reflection of a wealthy family and good health.

Although Li Yuechen is not fat, her streamlined body line undoubtedly reveals her health, and her rosy and delicate skin shows that her family is well-off, so her beauty does not conflict with this era.

Even if it has surpassed the times, it can still be understood and appreciated by people at this time.

Drops of water slid down the fair skin and dripped into the water that had become cloudy due to soaking in various medicinal herbs, causing the water surface in the bathtub to fluctuate.

Xiaodong wiped the princess's smooth back very carefully, for fear of making a mistake and making the princess angry.

As if feeling her emotions, Li Yuechen closed his eyes and meditated suddenly and said: "Don't be so nervous, it doesn't matter if your hands are heavy, I can be strong."

"Yes, the servant has remembered."

It seems that she didn't expect that the princess would take the initiative to joke, Xiaodong was taken aback for a moment before quickly agreeing.

And Li Yuechen, who was lying in the bathtub, continued to enjoy the comfort of the medicated bath. Although the Princess Mansion already had a bath and sauna room, this kind of medicated bath felt more comfortable.

Soak for a while after practicing, I feel refreshed, and the fatigue after the exercise has disappeared, very refreshing.

……

After taking a shower, put on clean and fresh clothes, and went to the front hall to prepare for dinner.

The cook in the princess mansion communicates with the Food Bureau in the palace frequently, all kinds of dishes are handy, and the taste is quite good.

Just about to eat, Fulai came over with a tray in his hand: "Your Highness, a letter from Qingdao."

"What are you doing here with the egg?" Li Yuechen asked.

"Return to Your Highness, this is sent with the letter."

Li Yuechen nodded, first opened the letter and read it.

Because she wrote a letter two days ago asking some soldiers from the cooking squad to come over to serve as cooks for the state banquet, and bring some seafood by the way.

The Qingdao side said that there is no problem. By the way, they reported that the production of chicken and duck eggs in the farm was much higher. They made some salted duck eggs with local salt in Qingdao. They thought the taste was good, and sent them to the princess to taste.

Seeing her put down the letter, Fulai said: "This duck egg servant has already tasted it, there is no problem."

Li Yuechen picked up some duck eggs from the sliced ​​duck eggs with his chopsticks, put them into his mouth, tasted them, and nodded slightly: "Well, the taste is good, and I think it can be sold as an independent product in the future."

It’s just that don’t expect to make a lot of money from this thing. In fact, salted duck eggs already exist these days, and there are no technical barriers, so the main thing is to follow the path of small profits but high sales.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. If the incubator can do it in the future, the production of chicken and duck eggs will further increase, and the cost will continue to decrease.

Fu Lai asked: "Then at lunch time, will the servants strip a few?"

"Well, okay."

Li Yuechen nodded, suddenly thought of something, and stopped Fulai who was about to leave: "Go and find another batch of ordinary duck eggs in the afternoon, and then prepare lime, plant ash, and..."

Fulai carefully wrote down everything Li Yuechen said, and then turned to leave.

He didn't ask any more questions, but he was thinking in his heart. Since he ordered duck eggs, it seemed that he had to make some kind of food. Could it be that he thought the duck eggs were not tasty enough and wanted to improve them?
Princess Xuancheng beside her looked curious: "Chen'er, can these duck eggs and lime...can be eaten?"

"Sister, don't worry, this thing can be made in ten and a half months, but most people may not be able to accept the taste." Li Yuechen smiled mysteriously, obviously not planning to reveal the answer at this time.

Seeing her mysterious look, the others didn't ask too much. It's good to see what the specific results are when the time comes.

……

After eating, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't wait to look at the sky, and then asked: "Your Highness, how is the light at this time?"

Li Yuechen smiled: "That's enough, let's go and pick a few good places in the courtyard."

Not to mention, a big home is good, and there are enough scenery, no matter where you go, you can see pretty good pictures.

So they took Shangguan Wan'er, two sisters and sister-in-law to start taking photos in the princess mansion.

"Sister, go there, go to the left, okay, look up at the branches..."

Li Yuechen's head was covered in a black cloth, and he kept directing his position and styling, and then took pictures that shouldn't have appeared in this era.

Then he took Shangguan Wan'er to sit in the pavilion and started to shoot. After directing her to make some different poses, he asked the assistant brought back this time to help shoot, and she came to sit beside her.

In the small pavilion above the pond, Li Yuechen sat beside Shangguan Wan'er, with his back against the pillar, and one hand on her shoulder: "How about this?"

Shangguan Wan'er thought for a while: "Would it be better for me to meet His Highness' eyes?"

"Okay, then it's up to you." Li Yuechen slightly turned his head to look at her, just as she also slightly raised her head to look over.

The assistant in charge of shooting shouted: "Okay, the picture is clear, start shooting!"

Then he got out from the black cloth and opened the baffle in front of the camera obscura.

The current camera is limited by the exposure time, and it takes about five minutes to take a photo, so the movements of Li Yuechen and Shangguan Wan'er are temporarily fixed in place.

However, living things cannot actually look at each other for a long time.

Prolonged eye contact with animals or strangers is likely to trigger aggressive emotions, because eye contact itself is an emotional exchange.

In the process of looking at each other, the emotions of both parties will affect each other.

Even between relatives or lovers, they seldom look at each other for a long time, because it is inherently prone to a sense of emotional oppression.

When the two looked at each other, they were normal at first, but as they looked at each other, the emotions contained in their eyes began to explode gradually.

At this time, Li Yuechen could clearly read the thoughts in her heart from Shangguan Wan'er's eyes: "Your Highness has been away for a long time, I miss His Highness very much."

And she could also read Li Yuechen's thoughts: "I know, you have been lonely these past few years, don't worry, you still have a lot of time in the future."

The emotional dialogue triggered by the eyes is more direct and profound than words, so that after a few minutes of looking at each other, tears have unconsciously sprung up in the eye sockets.

However, the two still kept their movements steady, neither of them moved first, and they were still immersed in the emotional dialogue.

The assistant at the side felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly got into the black cloth to check the progress of the photo, and when he felt that it was ready, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, it's done."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't answer the princess, so she hurriedly took out the cassette and trotted away, as if she was afraid that she would be beaten to death if she stayed here for a second longer.

"puff……"

Li Yuechen couldn't help but burst out laughing, stretched out his hand and wiped lightly on her cheek: "Okay, don't cry, it looks like I'm useless."

"Your Highness won't be useless..." Shangguan Wan'er sniffled and replied.

"The key is that it doesn't look good to take pictures while crying." Li Yuechen raised his hand and rubbed her head again, "You are one year older than me, you should be more mature like my sister."

Shangguan Wan'er pouted: "Your Highness has been more mature than me since I was a child, and it seems that His Highness is older than me."

"I was a kid when I was young, isn't it all grown up now!" Li Yuechen comforted with a smile.

Under her comfort, Shangguan Wan'er gradually calmed down.

Li Yuechen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to his quick response, she didn't let her cry, otherwise it might not be so easy to coax her well.

The more emotional people are, the easier it is to cry when they are emotional, and it is easy to stop crying once they cry, so it is the best choice not to let her cry at the beginning.

It's better to spend more time with her during the holiday, it can be regarded as making up for the lack of company these years.
