Honglan returned to report to Lin Jinxiu after sending him off.

"The contribution this time is not easy to make. I wonder if this General Liu will have the fortune to do so. "

Lin Jinxiu was very obscure, and Honglan did not really understand, but he could not ruin her mood, and could only agree with her.

"I'll wait on you with a pen and ink. Later, I'll write a letter to father, help me send it out."

After receiving the letter, Honglan immediately rushed out of the palace. Not even two hours had passed, the letter had already reached Lin Mu Yu.

After sending off her father, Liu Ruyan wandered around the garden for a while. After lunch, it was already noon.

"I've been so free these past few days that I'm starting to panic."

Liu Ruyan sat on the chair and sighed.

"Consort Fangyi wants to read books?"

Jane knew that in the past, Liu Ruyan liked to read when she had nothing better to do at the General's Mansion.

Liu Ruyan shook her head. She had read a lot in her previous life, and now she couldn't bring herself to be interested.

"Then... I don't know what way to relieve my boredom. "

Liu Ruyan suddenly thought of the promise she had made to the Fifteenth Princess to give her a slingshot and she started to think about how she should do it.

"Jane, go and find me a piece of wood. I will figure out how to make it into a slingshot."

Jane knew that this was for the princess, so she immediately brought the eunuchs to the palace to find wood and sculpted knives.

But after she was done with her tools, Liu Ruyan had no choice but to go up again.

"But I've never done this before. I don't know how to carve these little things."

Jane would not either, and neither would any of the other young eunuch s that she had asked. It's just that I've seen others play when I was young.

Liu Ruyan had seen it too, but she didn't know how to carve.

"If Empress doesn't mind, this servant can tell Empress how to make those little tricks." I have a little grandson in my family, and he is at the age of mischief. In order to coax him into settling down at home, this servant has also made him quite a few small things like this. "It's just that this servant and servant will only add those children who have solid skin. I don't know if I'll be able to win the princess' favor."

maid Li stood up. She did not want to be the first one to do so. But it was impossible to find anyone with Zichen Palace. She could only brace herself and charge forward!

"It's alright, then I'll ask maid Li to enlighten me."

Liu Ruyan did not care about this at all, as long as she could make a slingshot. She had already hooked up with the Fifteenth Princess, she could not go back on her words.

maid Li was indeed very skilled at doing this. Every time she said it, it was very simple. It was Liu Ruyan's first time doing it, and the more she learned, the more interesting it became.

In the end, maid Li only instructed by the side, as Liu Ruyan did the cooking with relish.

When she finished the task and made the first one, Liu Ruyan had a different sense of accomplishment.

"Look at maid Li, did you do well?"

maid Li naturally said it was good. Even if it wasn't good, she could only say yes, let alone that it was really good.

Liu Ruyan played with it for a while.

Ah!

"Empress, what happened to you?" Jane heard the scream and immediately surrounded them.

"It's nothing serious. I just accidentally shook his hand a moment ago. It looks like this slingshot won't work, so I'll make another one that's a bit smoother. Fifteenth Princess's skin is delicate, it would not be good if she was injured. "

Liu Ruyan was not the least bit unreasonable. She only wiped off the blood on her face a little and immediately threw herself into the production of the second slingshot.

When she was making the slingshot, she had already been very careful. She tried to make it as smooth as possible so that she wouldn't get wooden splinters in her hands.

But in the end, she was still not satisfied. She had been doing this repeatedly the entire afternoon.

Liu Ruyan had been a young miss since childhood, how could she possibly accept such a crude job? During the entire afternoon, Liu Ruyan's finger had already been cut in several places. Although it was not a big wound, the scars on her pair of slender fingers made one's heart ache.

"Consort Fangyi, you should stop now. This servant asked Hong to bring hot water. This servant will go and get some ointment for you." You already have a wound on your hand. "

Jane watched on nervously from the side, as if the wounds were all on his body.

"No need, it's not a serious injury. I'll go and rub some medicine later."

Liu Ruyan did not mind at all. Compared to her previous life, what was all this?

How could Jane be willing to just leave like that?

"Empress, just listen to this servant's words of advice. There's no rush right now." After telling the princess that it would be three days later, since we have time now, let's do it again tomorrow! "Empress, hurry up and treat the wound on your hand."

The Jane cared about whether or not Old Man Gu tried to persuade him. Liu Ruyan felt that the Jane's words made sense, and she temporarily stopped what she was doing.

He was too anxious to eat hot tofu! He would study a bit tomorrow and probably make this catapult.

He saw that his persuasion had finally worked. She too felt a sense of joy. Hong brought hot water. After washing his hands, he carefully applied the medicine on Liu Ruyan, afraid that he would hurt her.

Liu Ruyan saw that she was talking nonsense and could not bear to watch any longer. She might as well get the medicine and apply it herself.

"I plan to make a bag with the slingshot later. Jane, get the female servant to prepare some needle and thread and send it to my room later."

The Jane was naturally well-prepared.

After finishing everything, Liu Ruyan suddenly felt that she was hungry.

Only then did he remember that it was already dinner time. She saw that Lian Chengming had not come over yet.

He wondered if he had any important matters to deal with today. So he had Jane go to the Royal Kitchen to get him dinner.

She had been working hard all afternoon, but she was really hungry.

Just as Jane stepped out of the door, she heard the eunuch singing "The Emperor has arrived!"

Liu Ruyan immediately stood up and went to the palace entrance to welcome Lian Chengming. When he saw Lian Chengming, she was about to salute, but she was stopped.

"beloved consort doesn't need to be so courteous, why do you and I need to be so uncourteous?"

Liu Ruyan naturally thanked the emperor with a smile!

Not long after Lian Chengming entered the palace, the Eunuch Xu also came.

Liu Ruyan just had a question. Eunuch Xu had always been by Lian Chengming's side, so why didn't she see his figure today? So it was coming from the back.

Not only that, she also saw Eunuch Xu coming over with a lot of memorials.

Looking at Lian Chengming's attitude, he should be resting here tonight. Although she couldn't understand why he would bring them over, she didn't ask.

She also asked Hong to come over once again to the Royal Kitchen to get dinner. After all, if Jane didn't know that Lian Chengming had come and only brought one person, it would be awkward later.

She had even specifically warned them to stop the Jane on the way and ask the two of them to come back together.

This way, it couldn't be considered as a mistake. The Hong was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stop one person, so she made the other two female servant follow a different path, just in case.
