The princess of time travel is not stupid

Chapter 13

"Then tell me, how did he die?" Xia Mi suddenly raised her head and asked her.

Zhao Momo's tears fell, she pressed her lips tightly, and after a while she said, "The Holy One has given you a glass of wine."

"when?"

"In the seventh year of Xuanwu, the fourteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar." Madam Zhao sighed, "Empress Ye Feng dressed up and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation alone. The old slave was waiting for him at the gate of Yigan Palace. When he came back, he was still sitting on the steps of the Holy Lord. I thought he was safe, and he smiled at me, and then he went to the house to take care of you as usual. Who knows, the next day you cried non-stop, and the old slave opened the door and saw you He lay peacefully on the bed."

Sure enough, it's not the so-called terminally ill, there is no cure for medicine and stone.

"In the palace, are there any children who don't have a father and let others raise this kind of child?"

Zhao Nanny nodded, "Originally there were. It stands to reason that the master will be over one year old at that time, and Song Guijun should be there to take care of him, but after Queen Feng left, the Imperial Army took everyone away on July [-]th. Now, only the old slave who hugged the master was left, and even the cherries and auspiciousness were all distributed later."

"Did you see those people afterwards?"

"Of course not." Zhao Momo looked at Xia Mi, "Why did the master ask about this? All these years..."

"I don't know, it's like living in another world again, and then I don't know why a voice told me to go back. I woke up." I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you, Madam Zhao .

"Mo Yan's theory of gods and ghosts, as long as the master is safe in the end." Zhao Mama talked about what happened to Empress Feng back then, and Xia Mi yearned for that cheap and beautiful father, but he was gone.

However, this incident left a scar in Xia Mi's heart. She felt that if she had a chance in the future, she still wanted to figure it out.

"Then what does my father's family do? Didn't you ask?" Generally, those who are sent to the palace, except for commoner queens, are the daughters of court ministers in the next few dynasties, especially the braided dynasty. Status determines status. , I don’t discuss any court ladies who climbed up.

As soon as she asked here, Mother Zhao remained silent again, and Xia Mi knew that there must be some problems. Could it be that her relatives are too powerful?The master of high power.

"Since Empress Feng left, Duke Ding resigned from all positions and titles and returned to his hometown. All the members of the family went back to their hometown."

Absolutely, yes, yes, cat, tired!Xia Mi half-closed her eyes and thought!Both of them were silent, Shao Yao came in and asked: "Master, do you want to pass on breakfast?"

Food is the most important thing for the people, so Xia Mi put all the problems behind her and went to have breakfast.

Today's breakfast is corn porridge, with a little pickled cucumber, fried beans, and vinegared radish.

In the somewhat stuffy weather in May, these were refreshing and delicious, so Xia Mi ate two bowls of porridge all at once, and Mother Zhao was very satisfied. , but now it looks very juicy.

She found that Bai Ming was practicing more and more diligently. That's really not bragging, and she didn't have the slightest procrastination. She wouldn't say that I slept a little longer today, and then rested first when it was too hot at noon.

"Achen, did you provoke her?" Xia Mi secretly asked when no one was around.

Ah Chen squatted on the beam, and said lightly: "The fact is that she is not as good as me."

Thinking of himself who was beaten, Xia Mi thought it was better to read some books, since martial arts is not good, how about some literature?You can't know everything, so wouldn't it be the feeling of black eyes here.Let Ah Chen lead the way, she went to the study over the main hall, she didn't have a key to worry about, someone would open it.

Sure enough, Ah Chen pulled the lock open.

There is still a little dust, but Xia Mi found a lot of books in the study, general historical biographies, and even books on self-cultivation like Cai Gentan.It's just that she can't understand those words very well. Although it is in simplified Chinese, it is not very easy to recognize.

She wants to read, but she has to learn to read!kneel, orz

"I don't know all the words. Do you think I am practicing martial arts or practicing martial arts?" Xia Mi asked.

"But practicing martial arts also depends on inner strength, sword manuals and so on. You still need to be able to read and write."

Therefore, Xia Mi resigned to her fate and felt that she should learn Chinese characters first.The first thing to do is to clean the house, Ah Chen also came down to help, just rolled up his sleeves, when he heard a whistle, it seemed far away, but felt very close.

Ah Chen suddenly stood up straight.

The whistle rang several times before it stopped. After it calmed down, Xia Mi looked at him, "Did something happen?"

"That's the signal to summon all the hidden guards of our department. I don't know what happened."

Seeing his serious expression, Xia Mi didn't say much. Anyway, whether he goes or not depends on himself, or he is not qualified to go at all, since he was sent to him by the emperor. From that moment on, he couldn't turn back, unless... an undercover agent.

From this day on, Xia Mi can read and write in the study with peace of mind, but unfortunately she can't use a brush.

In June, the lotus fragrance fills the lake, and the red clothes and green fans reflect the clear waves.

Xia Mi also changed into unlined clothes. After dinner, she likes to sit by the edge of the pool, shake a round fan, and watch Bai Ming continue to work hard, teasing her from time to time, and her life is going well.

Bai Ming took a break in the middle, caught the towel thrown by Xia Mi and wiped her face, and sat next to her. She was already half a head taller than Xia Mi at the moment, and she couldn't help feeling that exercising made people grow faster.

"Master, I see that you don't like green peppers and scallions on weekdays, so if you eat noodles without scallions, what does it taste like?"

Xia Mi was thinking about when the lotus seeds in the pond would be ready to eat. Hearing her question, she turned to look at her and asked, "What else can noodles taste like? Why do you have to eat green onions? If you don't like it, you don't like it. Why force it?" Own."

When she was studying in her previous life, she was financially stressed. For a long time, she ate noodles covered with green peppers every meal, because it was the cheapest, so after eating for several years, she felt like throwing up when she saw green peppers.Many times, I can't think of too many things, but those few things that I can think of are not good things.

"What month is the lunar calendar?"

Bai Ming: "Tomorrow is the first day of May."

Oh, the day after tomorrow is my birthday?I really want to eat a cake to comfort myself.It's a pity that her Mary Sue didn't come out, "I remember how many potatoes there are in the kitchen, right?"

For some reason, Bai Ming followed Xia Mi to the kitchen, and was instructed to peel and wash the two oval potatoes she picked out, cut them into long strips as she said, and after they were done, they lit the fire to boil the water, put the After copying the potato chips for a while, Xia Mi yelled for her to fish them out before they were fully cooked.

"How do you eat it if it's not cooked?" Baiming asked.

Xia Mi: "The potatoes are ready to be stewed when they are fully cooked. Take them out quickly."

Then drained the potato sticks, put them on the cutting board and spread them out to dry, and said to Bai Ming, "Let's find a place to dry, or they will cook them tomorrow."

Bai Ming nodded. After about two hours, Xia Mi yawned sleepily before drying the potato sticks. Basically, there was no water. In the era when there were no refrigerators, there was still an ice cellar. Of course, Xia Mi had one here. A similar cellar is also very cool, so she can make do with it, and she can't go to the ice cellar at the House of Internal Affairs to spend the night on ice.

"Can you get in the ice cellar of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Xia Mi just stood up, took a step and asked her back.

Bai Ming nodded, "It should be no problem, after all, there are no forbidden soldiers over there."

So, Xia Mi ceremoniously handed the wrapped potato sticks to Bai Ming, patted her on the shoulder and said, "The organization trusts you and entrusts you with this arduous and difficult task. Ice the potatoes in their ice cellar. Get it back before they find out tomorrow morning."

Although she didn't know why, Baiming still agreed.

As soon as the person left, Ah Chen asked, "Master, what are you planning to do?"

Xia Mi looked around, but there was no one there, so he found him in the tree, "It's all for food."

Needless to say, the next morning, Xia Mi got up and went straight to her potato chips.

White tea has already been brought over, and it is still in the cellar, worried that it will be too hot.

Xia Mi ordered someone to deep-fry the potato sticks until they were golden brown, then controlled the oil and sprinkled some salt, it was really delicious.Everyone in the courtyard came to taste it. At first, Jixiang thought it was inedible. It was still covered with frost when it was thrown into the pot, and the pot made a crackling sound.

"This stuff is really delicious. The master who can think of this is really smart." Jixiang said beautiful words as if he didn't want money, and he was very happy to hear it.

Xia Mi laughed happily. After all, Su came out with French fries, which at least satisfied his appetite.

In private, Bai Ming half-jokingly said: "Master, do you like these fried potatoes? Or, I'll get you another pot tomorrow? You're full."

So bold, my dear!

Xia Mi shook her head, "No, you'll get fat if you eat too much." After finishing speaking, she turned to look at her, with a vague smile, "Tell me tomorrow, are you going to surprise me?"

Bai Ming suddenly felt a little embarrassed, always looking like she was being ripped apart, but the instigator, Xia Mi, was very happy. He bumped her elbow and asked with a mean smile, "What gift did you prepare?" Come and listen to it, let me get to the bottom of it, so I can prepare myself mentally."

"This... I won't be surprised if I say it."

"Then what if there is only surprise and no joy?" Xia Mi's fallacy has never been matched by anyone, "So, you still have to tell me first."

In the end, Baiming surrendered, saying that she was going to cook some delicious food with Zhao Nanny and the others, and then she wanted to serve Xia Mi a bowl of longevity noodles, but Zhao Nanny said that the meaning of longevity in the palace could only be an allusion. Your Majesty, others cannot use it.So, I had to give up.

It doesn't sound like much, but it's a good feeling to be remembered.

Xia Mi patted her head, "It's okay, I don't like noodles anyway."
