Little Lord

"Let it go first."

Even in front of her adjutant, the Eighth Princess Ye Xianing did not show any special affection for her sister.

She has always been aloof, looking like her mother but having the temperament of her father.

When she was selecting her adjutant, her first words were, "If you can't satisfy me, I will replace you immediately."

The adjutant reported official business to Ye Xianing respectfully.

Ye Xiening's management style is completely opposite to Jiang Zhuozhuo's. She requires that all decisions within the territory must be made by herself and does not allow anyone to interfere.

Her outspokenness offended many people, and her tough character also meant that she had no real "confidants", but she didn't care.

She doesn't need anyone to like her.

After Ye Xianing finished his business, he waved his hand and asked the adjutant to leave.

Her eyes fell on the bulging package.

This was the first time she had seen such an ugly package.

What did her sister give her?
Ye Xiening hesitated for a while, but still picked up the letter and opened it to read.

When I opened the letter, I saw that the handwriting was unfamiliar. It was quite nice, but the content was a bit... hard to describe.

For example, the first sentence is, Dear sister, it’s nice to see you.

That claw is a real claw.

Does this guy have to turn back into a bird and press his claws before continuing to write while writing a letter? !
The next thing is to tell her that her father came to my house and ate my mushrooms (there are pictures of red umbrellas and white stems drawn next to them), and he thought they were delicious. I will give you some dried mushrooms to try, and I hope you like them too.

Although fresh mushrooms are tender and delicious, dried mushrooms also have a unique flavor!
Whether it is used for making soup, stewing meat, chopping stuffing or making mushroom hot pot base, it is very suitable for eating!
Attached to the letter were recipes for dried mushrooms, and all the seasonings needed for each recipe were thoughtfully matched and sent together.

As long as the chef on her side wasn't so bad that he couldn't cook the dish even with the recipe and the ready-made ingredients, she should be able to eat the same dish as them even though she was thousands of miles away!

At the end there is another red claw mark, indicating that this letter was definitely written by the bird.

There is absolutely no possibility of being replaced!

Ye Xiening: ?????

So what happened was: her sister treated their father to mushrooms, and not only did the father eat them, he thought they were delicious and asked her sister to send some to him as well?!
Ye Xiening's usually cold expression also... cracked slightly.

In the nearly twenty years since she emerged from her shell, she had never encountered anything so outrageous.

Thinking that the Woye Province should have been called "Wilderness", there was nothing good there, it was poor and backward, Ye Xiening began to feel depressed again.

My sister's territory is the worst of all the provinces.

Intellectually, she knew that her mother was right to do so. If she gave her sister such a good place as a territory, not to mention others, the Sages' Court would strongly oppose it.

Not to mention that my father had been confined in the library tower for more than a decade and his influence on the Sages' Academy had greatly decreased; even if my father was still the number one sage in the Sages' Academy, it was impossible for other sages to change their views just because my sister was his daughter.

Granting land to a lord who is unable to control the territory is likely to cause the empire to lose the territory.

The Sages' Council will strongly oppose this.

The sages are the Queen's "brains trust", and all sages must always provide the Queen with the most appropriate advice in the most calm and rational state.

Even if the suggestions aren't very pleasing.

Only in the Fertile Province, which had no value to the empire, would the people below have no major objections.

Ye Xiening glanced at the recipe attached at the back.

The handwriting on it is different, obviously it was copied by someone else.

Ye Xiening put the letter away, put the recipe and the bulging bag of ingredients together, and had no intention of opening the package to read.

She had them sent directly to the kitchen and called the adjutant back.

"My mother and my father both gave my sister human gifts." Ye Xiening's tone was still cold, "Should I also give her something?"

The adjutant replied, "Yes, Your Highness. This will make His Majesty more satisfied with you, and the people will also think that you are a good sister who values ​​affection."

Ye Xianing nodded and asked his adjutant to make more extensive preparations and to form a fleet.

adjutant:?????
Ye Xiening said calmly: "If we go all the way like this, everyone will be able to see it."

Thinking of the letter's description of how delicious mushrooms are, Ye Xiening added, "You can prepare some ingredients suitable for long-distance transportation for her. This..." Ye Xiening wanted to say that Jiang Zhuozhuo would like it very much, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it did not fit his image in front of others, so he changed his words, "It won't cost much even if you fill a whole ship."

The adjutant understood.

As expected of Her Highness, this would not cost too much and would allow everyone to see her love and affection for His Highness the Ninth Prince.

Seeing that his adjutant had been fooled, Ye Xiening said calmly, "There are spies everywhere in the empire, and there is no guarantee that there won't be someone watching over in Woye Province, so we definitely can't just send food... You decide, just draw up a gift list and show it to me."

Her tone made it impossible to tell that she treated her sister any differently.

The adjutant immediately responded, "Okay, Your Highness, I'll get ready."

……

Jiang Zhuozhuo didn't know that the red umbrella and white pole she gave away would soon be received as a return gift from a fleet. She was flying to a waterfall with Horville.

She also heard from people who went out to survey the bird population that the pool of water formed under the waterfall... is very delicious and even produces bubbles!
Oh my god, natural soda water!

Yes, there is natural soda water in the world, and this is also true on Earth. For example, Leshan, Sichuan, where the popular Buddha statue is located, is one of the places where natural soda water is produced. The wonders of nature are beyond imagination!

Jiang Zhuozhuo had never seen such a miracle with his own eyes, so he decided to fly over to take a look himself, and at the same time patrol his own territory.

The Knights Battalion naturally sent people to follow.

So Höveler was responsible for accompanying the flight, and the others followed behind.

From time to time, Howell is also responsible for carrying Jiang Zhuozhuo when he is tired of flying. This eagle, which used to fight for a living, can now carry birds and fly very skillfully and naturally.

Even if the little round bird was sleeping on his back, it was just through the feathers, so it was no big deal.

...The bottom line of the knights was unknowingly lowered lower and lower.

In the past, he would definitely not have been able to fly for several days to find a delicious spring water.

Along the way, Jiang Zhuozhuo would stop to sketch whenever he saw a town below.

Of course, Höveler was responsible for carrying the painting tools and the new works.

Seeing that she could persist in going out to sketch every day, Maine began to encourage her to paint more and save them so that she could hang a few paintings in each school in the future.

There are only 293 towns under the Woye Province. If we want to popularize compulsory education, it wouldn't be excessive to build a school in each town, right?
This school got the lord's painting, but that school didn't. How sad must the teachers and students be?

You don't want the people in your territory to think that you are partial to some and unfair to others, right?

Jiang Zhuozhuo suspected that Main was trying to trick her into painting more and doing less mischief.

Damn it, does she really like to make trouble for others?

But when I think of those crying little birds, if the situation Maine described really happened, they might all shed tears.

Isn't it just painting? She wants to paint every season of the year in every town!
With this idea in mind, Jiang Zhuozhuo landed in every town he passed by and spent half a day painting before leaving.

It just so happens that everyone at the dock can recite "Quiet Night Thoughts", so they can teach it to people in the towns along the way.

It’s a pity that her little discipline inspection committee members didn’t come along. They were actively doing strength training to improve their physical fitness.

Jiang Zhuozhuo walked and stopped along the way, and finally successfully saw the legendary natural soda water source.

If there were cola nuts in this world, she would have cola right away!
That’s right, the raw material for making Coca-Cola is called cola nut.

Because it is rich in caffeine and theobromine, locals chew it directly to relieve their symptoms when they are sick.

The original cola was also invented as a medicine. Some people dissolved cola nut extract in soda water to treat diseases such as colds.

——Look, a sick person becomes energetic after drinking it. Who dares to say it can't cure diseases? !

So, where is the kola nut over here!
Jiang Zhuozhuo thought he could talk to the doctors brought by Lan En, in case they knew about similar fruits.

She definitely didn't want to drink Coke, she was just worried that everyone would have no medicine to use if they caught a cold!

She, Jiang Zhuozhuo, cares very much about the health of the people in the territory!
Without cola nut, lemon soda water is also delicious, and various fruit juices are also very good to pair with it!
come all come...

Jiang Zhuozhuo thought of his pitifully low upper weight limit, turned to look at Huo Weiler who was standing not far away, and cautiously approached to ask: "How much more weight can you still carry?"

HOWILLER: .

I see. You need everyone to help you carry the water back, right?

Howell consciously arranged for the accompanying knights to do weight training together.

We walked and stopped along the way again.

When they finally flew back to the castle, Jiang Zhuozhuo felt that the road still needed to be repaired and animal power still needed to be used.

Otherwise, we can't let the knights carry the water manually every time!
This is not how the knights trained at great expense are used.

At the dinner table, Jiang Zhuozhuo talked to Maine about the road construction plan in the territory.

This needs to be carried out in conjunction with Lin's animal husbandry.

It would be best if every ingredient could go directly to the castle or the dock, without leaving out any one!
The road must be built wide and flat. What if the food is spoiled if it is too bumpy along the way?
If you’re going to repair it, make it big and good!
Maine: .

Originally, the budget for territory development in the second year was sufficient, but now that you've said that, it's completely insufficient.

Maine smiled and said, "Your Highness has been out for so long, do you need to make up for the physical training? I'm afraid you'll have to train for a while longer."

Come on, let’s hurt each other!

Jiang Zhuozhuo: “…”

There is murderous intent!
Jiang Zhuozhuo immediately said, "We should repair it slowly. Don't be in a hurry. We don't have to repair it all at once. The same goes for physical training. We have to do it step by step, otherwise we will get hurt!" She even turned to the good-tempered Lan En for approval, "Dad, what do you think is right?"

Lan En saw her nervous face and comforted her helplessly: "Howell will definitely arrange the training volume according to your tolerance and will not let you get hurt."

Jiang Zhuozhuo:.

This is what is scary. The stronger you are, the more intense your training will be. Just think about it and it will be dark!
The little round bird performed a bird pancake trick for Lan En on the spot.

Lan En: “…”
