Chapter 385： Hidden worries behind

Irene stared at herself in the mirror, pouted with dissatisfaction, "Isn't it okay?"

A woman standing behind dressing her said with a smile, "It will be soon, Your Highness."

The woman snickered in her heart: "After traveling for so long, this little princess is still so out of character."

After finally packing up, Irene happily lifted her skirt and trotted out.

"Slow down, Your Highness!" The court lady guarding the door chased after her.

Irene walked all the way to the living room of the bedroom, where several girls around her age were already waiting.

"your Highness!"

The girls stood up and saluted Irene politely.

Irene smiled and stretched out her arms, motioning for everyone to sit down.

Several maids came over with trays in their hands and served refreshments for everyone.

"Nurse." Irene turned to the court lady who followed, "We want to stay by ourselves for a while!" After speaking, her big eyes made a pitiful look.

The female officer glared at Irene sternly, but finally lost, she sighed and said: "Girls, you are all descendants of famous families, and you are not children anymore, you should always pay attention to your behavior and words. "

After giving a salute, she slowly walked out of the reception room.

"Yeah!" After confirming that the female officer was gone, the girls burst into cheers.

They no longer sat obediently in their seats, but swarmed onto Irene's sofa.

These are noble girls who have been on good terms with Irene on weekdays.

"Irene, Irene! Continue to tell us about the Northwest Bay!"

A petite girl with freckles tugged on Irene's arm.

"Tell us about Earl Greyman's invention!"

Irene has been back for a while, and her friends all know that she traveled to the north of the Kingdom for a while, but because of the good secrecy work, they don't know that Irene ran out privately, and they all think that she is under the strict protection of the palace guards We went out in microservices.

"This..." Irene said with some embarrassment: "His explanations have been finished, no matter how smart Gleiman is, he can't invent one thing in a day!"

"Ah—" The freckled girl was a little disappointed.

"Haha, Anisa." Another girl joked, "Are you missing that earl?"

"You talk nonsense!"

The face of the girl called Anisha was instantly blush, and she pulled the other's mouth in embarrassment. Everyone laughed and watched the two chasing and fighting in the reception room.

The experience Irene shared with them made everyone very interested. It turned out that the paper that became popular in Jingyao in the past two years was passed from the Northwest Gulf, and the beautiful porcelain that the nobles flocked to was also made in the Northwest Gulf.

It wasn't the wild land in the legend, there were also towns and villages, where nobles and commoners lived, speaking the Aldo language with a different tone from the residents of the royal capital.

And there is a lord like no other there who is working hard to improve the education of his people, teaching them to read and make them sensible. It's strange, don't the general lords of small places think that the more stupid the people, the easier it is to govern?

While everyone was joking, Irene ordered the servant to fetch a book. She proudly placed it on the table and said braggingly, "I went to the Northwest Bay not just for fun, this is my achievement!"

The girls looked at the table and saw the words "Basic Medical and Health Handbook" written on the cover of the book.

Anissa picked up the book and opened the pages, and her friends gathered around to watch it together.

"Wow! That's amazing! As expected of Princess Irene, who is famous for her knowledge." After a quick glance, everyone gave bursts of admiration.

This book mainly introduces some hygienic knowledge, such as frequent bathing, washing hands frequently, eating cooked food, drinking boiled water, and how to "sterilize" wounds, ventilate the room when you are sick, and even what women do when they give birth. Various precautions.

As aristocrats, many of the things mentioned in the book have been used to them since they were young, but even those things they are used to, there are some refreshing explanations in this book.

It turns out that in places invisible to human eyes, there are many tiny lives—germs or parasite eggs, and many diseases are born from them. The various measures listed in the book can effectively avoid their damage to the human body.

They couldn't help but couldn't believe it. When Irene came back, she asked a craftsman to make a microscope according to the principle introduced by Paul. The scene in the mirror frightened the girls.

The compliments from her playmates made Irene a little embarrassed, "That... it's actually not my work alone, it's written by me and that female scholar from Jiaowan named Ladi, she is much better than me. Moreover, most of the measures listed in the book came from Earl Greiman, we... we just sorted it out!"

"Copy a copy for us too!"

Anisa made a request to Irene on behalf of the girls.

The little princess smiled mysteriously, "Scribing? It's too inefficient!"

"What?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Look at the characteristics of the words in the book?"

The girls frowned and observed.

One of them said thoughtfully: "These letters are so neat! Especially those letters and words that are the same, it seems...as if he came out of the same mold."

"Bingo, that's right!"

Irene explained: "It came out of the same mold, which is [printing]. There is a magical machine in the Northwest Gulf—the printing press, which can produce books in batches without laborious copying."

"Irene, you still said that you have finished talking about Earl Greiman's invention! I have never heard of this printing press." Anissa pouted, expressing her strong dissatisfaction.

"Uh... He just proposed an idea for this, and finally completed it... In short, it can be regarded as a collective invention."

After prevaricating, Irene announced: "I have sent people to Northwest Bay to order printing machines from Graiman, and I will print this book when I come back. Not only you, everyone in Jingyao can see this book .”

The little princess intends to promote good hygiene habits such as drinking boiled water in Jingyao. As a member of the royal family, she considers it her duty.

Of course, Irene's plan is definitely more than that. She also plans to replicate her great career in the Northwest Gulf in Jingyao, such as setting up a school, such as building a signal tower.

"Excuse me, Your Royal Highness!"

While everyone was discussing enthusiastically, a servant entered the reception room.

"What's up?"

"Ms. Anisa's family is here, saying they have something important to see her."

"Let him in."

Soon, another person dressed as a deacon hurried in.

"It's you? What's the matter?" Anissa recognized her deacon.

The deacon said respectfully: "Miss, the young master is back, I want you to go back and reunite quickly."

"Is it brother?" Anissa looked excited, "He's back?"

Anissa's brother has been stationed in Westport with Harrison Abbott and has not returned home for a long time.

"He's back, but..." the deacon showed a sad expression, "He's going back to the station soon, and this time he's going back to the king just to deliver a letter, so I'm in a hurry to invite you back to see him."

Anissa hurriedly bid farewell to Irene.

Irene frowned and asked the deacon: "Brother Anisa's troops are stationed in Westport, right? Is the situation there still serious? Is it because of pirates?"

The deacon shook his head: "My young master said that the trouble this time is not pirates, but it is also related to the pirate invasion last time."

"What is it?"

"Goblins, last time the pirates secretly released a large number of goblins into the nearby area during the occupation of Westport. These filthy creatures are very cunning. When the Kingdom army first recovered Westport, they hid and hid quietly. Multiplied in the forest, and now...now there are no more."

"Goblin?" Irene frowned. If these things are not wiped out in the early stage, it will be very difficult later.

"Damn it! It's a goblin."

"Really, how did the pirates bring this disgusting creature?"

Several girls in the living room exclaimed, it seemed that they had heard of this terrible creature before.

There are also girls who have never heard of it, but after being "popularized" by their companions, they cursed the goblins and the culprit pirates.

After bidding farewell to Anisa, Irene looked towards the chamber of the palace. Her father should be there now. Since Anisa's brother came back to report the news, the king must have known about it.

And she also knew that the main force of the kingdom's army in the south was facing a decisive battle with the rebels.

However, there are frequent accidents in the rear...

Come on, my lord.
