Chapter 121: A Small Surprise in the Imperial Master's Mansion
The Seventh Princess carried Yuan Ruan to the Imperial Master's Mansion, and Yuan Ruan struggled to get down.
The moment I stepped onto my own territory, a spontaneous feeling of happiness filled my heart.
I don’t know what other people are like.
But Yuanruan has always been obsessed with the concept of "home". Even though the Empress and Concubine Rong were very kind to her, Yuanruan just wanted a house that belonged completely to her.
The energetic Yuan Ruan almost half-pulled the bent Seventh Princess Qi Yue into the mansion.
System: [Wow. Ah Ruan, your mansion is so luxurious. All the furniture is miniature.]
Yuanruan was also stunned.
She knew that the emperor attached great importance to her.
She had imagined many times what her own mansion would look like.
But the most extravagant design she could think of was to fill the house with jade, jewels and gems, with door curtains made of white pearls, and gold and silver treasures everywhere.
So Yuanruan never expected that in front of her would appear a complete set of mini luxury furniture that was proportioned according to her height.
If the mini gold table, mini jade bed, and mini bookcase are still within the scope of understanding.
However, the mini teapots and teacups, mini study items, even the blank bamboo slips and the books listed on the desk are all scaled-down versions.
Yuan Ruan looked around dully, her heart filled with emotion.
Her chubby little hands moved around the mini furniture, unable to let go, and then she picked up the mini table and placed a mini bamboo slip on it.
When she opened it, she was in a state of disarray.
Wait, this is actually a volume of "Shangshu".
System: [Pfft. Such a miniature Shangshu, your brother really has high hopes for you!]
Yuanruan's eyelids kept twitching: [Haha. This is totally unnecessary. ]
Are you crazy, brother?!
You could get some mini version of an Enlightenment book or the Book of Psalms or something like that.
How come even the Shangshu and some advanced military books are reproduced in the same proportion! Do you really expect me to learn everything before I am three years old? Is the crooked-mouthed dragon king coming? !
The seventh princess suddenly exclaimed "Ah".
Yuan Ruan turned around and saw Qi Yue's eyes, which had never been surprised, were now trembling violently. Yuan Ruan could understand this very well. After all, no normal person could accept such an outrageous "Book of Shang"...
"Cute." The seventh princess Qi Yue suddenly rushed over, then quickly took a big step back, squatting in front of Yuan Ruan and looking at her with sparkling eyes, "So cute, really, so cute."
System: [Hehe, it's so cute! The cute little dumpling is holding a mini stationery and reading it seriously. It's really adorable. "Click" "Click"... I take pictures, I take pictures, I take pictures. ]
Yuanruan: ...
At this time, Rongpin came in, picked up Yuanruan like a cat, and said with a smile: "Xiaojiu likes it very much. I also made a few sets of slightly larger furniture for you. When Jiuer grows up, all the sets will be replaced."
Yuan Ruan looked at Rongpin in surprise: [No wonder it was such a big deal.]
The chubby thumb was extended, and a soft, leaky voice rang out: "Like, like."
System: [So you are a money-obsessed person. It is not surprising that you are so arrogant. I was wondering why your brother would be willing to do such a thing for you.]
Rongpin looked at the emperor who was staggering as he walked in from the main gate, and she covered her mouth and smiled secretly.
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince tried to keep their expressions steady as they saluted Rongpin.
At the same time, the two also presented Yuanruan with a congratulatory gift for her relocation.
Yuanruan opened it and nodded repeatedly with satisfaction: It's all made with great care, it's very green and shiny, and it's obviously a valuable jade jewellery.
Then, Yuanruan looked at the emperor expectantly.
The emperor laughed, and the chief eunuch immediately cleverly asked two people to carry an extra-large box up.
Yuan Ruan pulled the emperor closer, "Look, look."
The emperor waved his hand gently and the wooden box was opened.
——It was filled with bamboo slips.
Yuanruan's smile froze on his face.
The emperor said seriously, "This is my study notebook from childhood. Xiaojiu, I give it to you. I hope you will work hard."
System: [Hahahaha…Emperor, the Emperor is too stingy. This is a good intention, Ah Ruan, don’t you agree? Hahahaha…]
Everyone except the emperor tried hard to hold back their laughter.
Yuan Ruan suddenly smiled again: [No, brother, I am actually quite satisfied that you are not cheating me.]
The emperor smiled with satisfaction: My careful preparations paid off, Xiaojiu finally realized the charm of reading. The birth of paper is just around the corner.
The system code was almost messed up, and I was shocked: [What? Ah Ruan, don’t you hate studying? Are you having a fever? Are you talking nonsense? ]
Yuan Ruan: [This is the emperor's handwritten note. For those who want to understand the emperor's thoughts, this is simply a priceless treasure. They would be willing to exchange it for any amount of money.]
emperor:……
When the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and Concubine Rong heard this, they found it funny but also a little worried: this is extremely disrespectful.
System: [Frog fun! They must be sold one bamboo slip at a time, and they must be auctioned off, and the order must be shuffled. Anyone who wants to buy a complete bamboo slip will definitely bid fiercely. Haha, the price will definitely rise steadily.]
Yuan Ruan: [Wow, you are such a profiteer. But I don’t plan to sell it. Brother gave me this notebook that carries his thoughts, which is also a valuable trust, so I said I am satisfied.]
The prince and his men sighed quietly.
Everyone stole glances at the emperor, and although they could not see any change in his expression, they always felt that his temperament seemed to have softened.
At this time, several eunuchs kept coming in carrying box after box of valuables.
The maid in charge of the inventory reported respectfully: "Prime Minister Li presented State Preceptor Qiao Qian with sixteen pieces of jade, porcelain and bronze... The Minister of Revenue presented State Preceptor Qiao Qian with a set of yellow jade court beads... The Minister of Rites presented State Preceptor Qiao Qian with twenty-one pieces of exquisite jade..."
As the palace maids sang more and more, the system couldn't help but smack its lips: [Aruan, everyone in Daxia believes in you and likes you so much. ]
Yuan Ruan looked at the gifts that were almost filling up the courtyard, and was dumbfounded: [Yes, fortunately, mine are genuine. ]
Everyone smiled.
At this time, the palace maid sang at the back and suddenly said that the Dragon Tiger Dojo had also sent a letter and congratulations through the Qintian Prison Supervisor.
The emperor had already read the contents of the letter. He knew Yuan Ruan, so he signaled the palace maid to continue reading aloud.
The general meaning of the letter is: Longhu Dojo recognizes Yuanruan's status, and as long as Yuanruan is willing to join Longhu Dojo, they are willing to cooperate with Yuanruan to perform various rituals of summoning gods in Xia Kingdom.
Yuan Ruan was not happy to join a strange organization: [Tong'er, the Dragon and Tiger Dojo is a beautiful idea, it's like getting something for nothing. ]
System: [Well, maybe in their eyes, this is a big temptation. If they cooperate, you can save effort. Because there are so many sacrifices and blessing rituals in ancient times. ]
Yuanruan: [Ah? For example?]
System: [For example, Fengchan rituals, New Year's Eve rituals, and many more...ah, the most recent one is probably the blessing ceremony for the army going out. Daxia is going to fight against the joint forces of the Xiongnu and Chen State, so you will definitely have to come out to offer sacrifices to the heavens and bless them.]
Yuanruan: [What?! Pray for the army?! What am I going to do?]
System: [Ah Ruan, generally speaking, the more powerful your supernatural powers are, the better they are. Your last supernatural power was so awesome, and it won’t take long for you to activate a new supernatural power to bless the army. I will never let the King of Kings lose face.]
Yuan Ruan: [That makes sense. It seems we can’t be lazy any longer, we need to start the task of national destiny as soon as possible.]
The Emperor and his party: !!!
What?!
The magical powers are better than each other?! And they can also bless the soldiers?!
The emperor and his men could not imagine any magical power more shocking than that on the day of the Spring Festival.
But at this moment, they only have one thought:
Mission, must fully cooperate!
