When Ming Ruoxie returned, Man Yue had already taken a rag and wiped the box clean.
"Princess, that crow seems to be doing much better. It ate a lot of wheat just now."
"Well, you go and have a rest."
"yes."
Man Yue retreated, and Ming Ruoxie looked at the box on the table. She originally thought that the box belonged to Master Ci Yuan, and was used to store things given by her father, but she did not expect to see the box at a glance. It was locked with a silver lock. The lock was very special. It looked like a wishful shape. It was made up of many parts that were tightly fastened. You couldn't tell where the keyhole was. The whole lock looked like there was nothing to fix it. Open place.
This was clearly the work of her father. She was sure that this lock was made by Master Liuyin, because it looked a bit like Zizhuqiu's technique.
This will also pose a problem for her.
Ming Ruoxie observed it and started to unlock it.
After a while, I heard a click and the lock was opened.
After opening it, you can see a small hole on the inside. When you look in, you can see a small golden ball rolling inside.
It should look like pure gold.
Ming Ruoxie is a little helpless about her father's interest. What kind of master is he? His hobbies are obviously very vulgar. She found that most of the things produced by Master Liuyin are gold, silver, jade, or very expensive and rare materials. Coupled with his craftsmanship, it is luxury and gold. It is not cheap at all. of.
Just such a small lock also hides a lot of golden balls.
This little lock is already the first gift.
As soon as the box was opened, there was another box inside. It was a pure gold box. It was carved with lotus flowers and lotus leaves in different postures, and some pearls were embedded as dewdrops. The whole box was so radiant, luxurious and exquisite that it was almost blinding. into her eyes.
Ming Ruoxie knew that he should have built this box after she left Lan Country, otherwise he would have given it to her before she left.
She took the gold box out of the wooden box. This time, there were no chains. The whole box looked like a large rectangular gold nugget, with not a single seam visible.
It¡¯s King Lian¡¯s personal interest again, which is to make people unable to find where he opened it.
Ming Ruoxie shook his head and laughed, tapping here and there, looking for a mechanism to open the box.
This gold box is very heavy. Apart from the items inside, this box alone is priceless.
When she left Lan Country after getting married, her father had almost emptied the wealth of Prince Lian's Mansion and gave it to her. However, less than a year later, he gave her such a generous gift again. She didn't know whether he was in Lan Country. Not like her, she also digs into Emperor Lan's treasury from time to time.
(I have to say, the truth is revealed.
Emperor Lan: Emperor Zhen, I understand your pain! )
The mechanism of this gold box is very cleverly designed. Only by pinching two specific places and pressing at the same time can the mechanism be opened.
With a crunching sound, still a very clear and soft sound, the lid of the box flicked upwards, and then it was clear that it was a box.
As soon as the box was opened, it was not as golden as she imagined. The top was covered with several layers of soft gauze, which was pale moonlight and white with a faint silver light. When she picked it up, she saw that there were several pictures. A small anemone veil was embroidered on one corner. It looked light and breathable but could barely cover the face.
Ming Ruoxie tried it, and there was still a faint scent of lotus on it.
She didn¡¯t expect that her father would even give this as a gift. Did she think her appearance was too attractive and asked her to cover her face when traveling?
After taking out these veils, there is a dowry underneath. Inside are three sets of headdresses, all carved from fine jade, so exquisite that people can't take their eyes away.
After bringing up the dowry, there was a layer of small gold bricks underneath, covering a whole layer.
Ming Ruoxie¡¯s eyes felt a little hot.
How much does it cost to build a whole Prince Lian Mansion? Prince Lian really sent a lot of property to her.
And it was sent by Master Ciyuan.
Ming Ruoxie felt a little disobedient when he thought that Master Ciyuan had sent so many treasures like a high-ranking monk.
There is also a letter tucked in the bottom of the box.
Ming Ruoxie took out the letter and saw the flying words on the paper. The longing for his father suddenly surged up like a tide.
The letter even wrote about some things about Prince Lian's Mansion, but she was still asked to just send the letter to Prince Lian if she had anything to do. The entire Lan Kingdom was her backing."Master Ciyuan is capable. Don't always regard him as an old monk who deceives you. If you are unsure or have any doubts, just ask him. He can give you some guidance."
With this sentence written in the letter, Ming Ruoxie held her chin and thought for a while, thinking about what Master Ciyuan could do for her.
In the study room, Sikong Ji was also looking at the letter in his hand, his expression a little cold.
"Your Majesty, in the letter from King Dingbei" Tao Qi felt something was wrong when he looked at him like this. It was obvious that King Dingbei had written something that the prince did not want to accept, so he did It's such an expression.
"There are people training troops in the Tulang Valley in the north." Sikong Ji said.
The northern border of Dazhen is controlled by General He.
Of course, the emperor is not particularly stupid. The soldiers sent over, each battalion and each team, are well recorded. Even if something happens on the border, such as a disaster, and the victims want to become soldiers, as long as there are more than ten people, , General He has to report to the palace.
Otherwise, if the number of soldiers under his command exceeds the establishment, he will be suspected of rebellion.
Although the emperor seems to trust any general, he still keeps a close eye on this point. Every year, he will send a governor to inspect the situation of the barracks there.
Although thousands of miles apart, the emperor still hopes to firmly control the military situation.
Therefore, when bamboo cannons appeared over there, General He also quickly sent his nephew to the capital to show it to the emperor, so that the emperor would know the power of the bamboo cannons, and then the emperor would decide whether to make them in batches and who to give them to. Who cares about manufacturing?
"However, He Wei lost his bamboo cannon, and now he is still staying in the capital on the pretext of getting married. He is also waiting for General He's reply to hear what he wants to do.
Sikongji is no stranger to Tulang Valley.
Because over the years, most of the letters sent to him by King Dingbei took the road over the Tulang Valley.
The Tulang Valley is a relatively harsh terrain in the northern border, so the guard there will be a little looser, and it will be difficult for people to break through from there. If a large number of people enter, they can be discovered quickly by guarding the mountain pass.
?????????????? So their messengers come out from there, and it¡¯s easier for just one or two people to get through.
But now I discovered that someone was stocking up and training troops over there.
"It looked like those people were newly recruited into the camp, not veterans. During military training, they all started with the most basic things. Watching the troops line up was still very unfamiliar, so my grandfather speculated that they were probably new recruits. ." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
