"So it turns out that Bai Yaoyao has trouble sleeping and is still a little weak, so she was given a pair of orchid scent bags?"
Di Muxi didn't know what to say. It seemed that she was responsible for Bai Yaoyao's weakness as a child. Not to mention the collision when she was two years old, the broken head was enough to cause extremely serious damage. Bai Yaoyao was lucky that she didn't become stupid.
If it weren't for that hit on the head, perhaps Bai Yaoyao wouldn't have to carry the sachet.
"One thing leads to another?"
Di Muxi was thinking, and Mu'er in the outside world had also reached a turning point in her fate. Because those princes and hostages were tired of bullying Mu'er, they decided to force them to please the princess to atone their sins.
Mu'er, who was almost ten years old, had been beaten so hard that her body was covered with bruises. She had no intention of resisting at all and was not even allowed to eat without permission.
What's more important is that these princes and hostages are very good at beating people. They only hit private parts of the body. With the clothes given by the princess as a birthday gift, Mu'er's appearance is almost fine, but the pain inside is unbearable.
"Why do you want to apologize to me?" The pink ball looked at the thin girl in front of him curiously.
"My attitude was bad at the time. Actually, your scent is very nice, Princess."
Mu'er repeated the words given to her in a hoarse voice like a robot. After hearing this, Pink Ball suddenly showed an expression of realization, and then said in surprise: "You are Mu'er, right? I remember that you were bitten by my dog."
Nothing is more terrifying than talking about dogs. When Mu'er heard the word "dog", she turned around and wanted to run, but the wolf-like gaze behind her made her stand still and dare not move.
"You look so thin, I almost didn't recognize you as a girl."
Bai Yaoyao was very generous when she was a child. After accepting the other person's apology, she asked Mu'er to be her little "maid" because she felt sorry for letting the dog bite the other person.
She is not a maid, and her actual status is even lower. To put it bluntly, she is like a dog, being ordered around by others.
Needless to say, when Bai Yaoyao is not around, there will be all kinds of blatant bullying, and any dissatisfaction in life will be vented on Mu'er.
The situation was not much better when Bai Yaoyao was around, because the princess, whose health was getting better and better, could not stand the loneliness and often ran around the palace. Mu'er, who was as skinny as a stick and even didn't have enough food all year round, could only chase after her. Even the big pink ball couldn't stand it and hated Bai Yaoyao in her heart.
one day.
The pink ball was holding an exquisite sugar man in her hand. The man made of brown sugar glowed orange under the sunlight and was particularly beautiful.
As time gradually approaches autumn, the weather is getting cooler and the sugar melts slowly. However, the pampered dumplings don't care about this and bite the exquisite works of art until they are crunchy.
"Princess, is it delicious?" Bai Xinyi kept swallowing her saliva. Sugar is very attractive to children.
Even though she was the princess's personal maid, it was impossible for her to eat candy every day. It was considered good if she could eat it once every one or two months.
"It's delicious."
Pink Dumpling smiled and gave a small piece to Bai Xinyi, and then gave another piece to Lu'er.
The other little followers also grumbled about wanting to share the food when they saw this, and the pink dumpling, who didn't know the value of brown sugar, was very generous and gave everyone a portion. Mu'er, who was enduring the pain in her stomach and was weak, looked at this scene with great desire in her heart.
She hasn't eaten candy for several years and almost forgot what it tastes like.
"Mu'er, do you want some candy?"
A huge sugar man had been cut into the size of a palm. The pink ball licked it a few times before remembering the newcomer Mu'er.
"I……"
Mu'er hated Bai Yaoyao so much and was disgusted by her saliva, but she wanted to eat it very much. With such a contradictory inner tendency, she said, "Forget it?"
As soon as she said it, she regretted it and wanted to go back on her word, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud because of her low self-esteem. She thought that if Bai Yaoyao persuaded her again, she would just agree. But what she got was not the sugar man, but the moon that was eaten? ? 费群;8:57“!6;?6':344:2 The bamboo sticks were completely clean and were thrown away.
"So I was so vindictive and hypocritical when I was a kid?"
Di Muxi took everything in, and while sighing in her heart, she also knew that these things coincided with her memories. However, from a bystander's perspective, the results were completely different from what she remembered.
Bai Yaoyao was thinking in her heart that Di Muxi was a very tsundere guy when he was a child. These scenes were extracted from his mind and fine-tuned. The difference was the attitude of the original body - from the arrogant and commanding tone to the soft and sweet voice of coquettishness, giving people completely two different feelings.
"There is a big trick coming up next. This time we must change people's opinions in one fell swoop!"
Chapter 4 Stepping Stone (k has been returned)
The scenes around her began to become weird and magical again. Di Muxi was still not used to this sudden change. Although she found a way to enter this real dream, she did not find a way to control the dream. Every time she experienced the humiliating memory again from Mu'er's perspective, she felt very uncomfortable.
Even if it is just a warning, it is enough. Any more would be too torturous.
As the surrounding scene changed and then returned to normal, Di Muxi discovered that Mu'er had already arrived in winter. It seemed that her living conditions had improved after becoming Bai Yaoyao's follower. Although she was still bullied in various ways, at least she could eat more often and did not have to worry about resisting the severe cold.
After all, as the princess's followers and errand boys, even those of the lowest rank cannot dress too poorly, otherwise people will think that the princess is not kind enough. If outsiders see them, who knows what rumors they will spread.
I don't know if it was because the princess held chopsticks with one hand and toys with the other hand during her one-year-old birthday ceremony, the Daqi Empire continued to develop towards the commercial entertainment industry, resulting in it becoming the richest country in the world. Various types of food and entertainment are extremely developed, and it can be called a paradise for the rich.
Di Muxi's mind quickly went through the information about Qi State. This development was probably related to Bai Yaoyao but not to a large extent. You must know that half of Qi State's land area is on the sea, and the domestic canals are also well developed. Vigorously developing commerce is an inevitable trend that everyone with a discerning eye knows.
It's a pity that the old emperor of Qi State, who is now nearly 70 years old, is no longer capable and has allowed the civil service group to grow, giving her the opportunity to cut a piece of meat from the wealthy Qi State.
Otherwise, with their strong financial resources, they could organize a powerful army in minutes. She would have no chance at all and could only compete with the nomadic peoples in the north for food.
"We still have to speed up the process. Qiguo is probably expanding its military in secret. We must maintain or even expand its armaments, and start encouraging trade between the two countries!"
Speaking of trade, Di Muxi thought about whether his country's business would be hit. Some protective measures must be taken and tariffs need to be reasonably customized.
"What is this?"
Pink Dumpling's voice brought Di Muxi back to his senses. He looked in the direction Mu'er was looking and saw Bai Yaoyao had slipped in at some point. She was wearing a thick coat, and her hair was long and tied into two cute buns with long ribbons on them. She looked extremely adorable.
“It’s a slingshot.”
Mu'er explained stiffly while continuing to scrape the wood, trying to make this natural Y-shaped branch straighter. Then he used a small iron nail to drill a hole, put on the ammunition belt he had collected so much, and then put a thick leather piece on the ammunition belt. Finally, a powerful slingshot was made.
The pink ball wasn't bored and just sat aside, staring at it curiously.
"Whoo~"
Mu'er joyfully raised the slingshot and gestured twice, her little hands felt numb from the shock, and she became even happier.
"I want to play too!"
The voice of Pink Ball at the side suddenly froze Mu'er's smile on her face. She almost forgot about this evil guy!
Di Muxi's attention was not here at all, but on the faint orchid scent that still lingered on the pink ball.
This time, even the smell of traditional Chinese medicine contained in it seemed to be much weaker, leaving only the pure orchid scent, the same orchid scent as the one of the person who saved her in her memory, with no difference at all.
"How is this possible? Yaoyao has clearly admitted that she doesn't recognize Lanhua at all."
Di Muxi was so distracted that he didn't even notice that Pink Ball had broken Mu'er's slingshot. When he came to his senses, Mu'er was already throwing the broken slingshots at Pink Ball in anger.
"Ouch!"
The pink ball that was hit immediately got angry. Even if his conscience had not been blackened yet, he had become spoiled and could not stand any bullying. Who would care about a mere piece of wooden junk?
"I didn't do it on purpose. I just touched it and it broke!"
"I won't play with you anymore!"
The pink ball turned around with tears in her eyes and ran away, while Mu'er picked up the slingshot that had been broken into two pieces and looked at the princess' figure with a bad mood, thinking that revenge would follow again.
Di Muxi looked at the crack in the slingshot and suddenly realized that the crack seemed to have existed when he first saw it, but it was not very obvious.
It was inconsistent with my memory. Judging from the performance in the dream, it seemed that Mu'er rubbed it for too long and damaged the wood marrow inside.
Needless to say, when the prince saw the little pearl of the princess falling to the ground, he immediately came to Mu'er to vent his anger. As for the culprit - the slingshot, it had been completely crushed into a pile of sawdust.
"It's all the fault of that damn Bai Yaoyao! Not only did she break my slingshot, she also ordered someone to hit me!"
Mu'er, who was beaten and covered with scars, developed endless resentment, which even subtly affected Di Muxi.
"It's still Bai Yaoyao's fault."
Di Muxi also thought so. As she said before, whether intentionally or unintentionally, most of her tragic experiences in childhood were caused by Bai Yaoyao.
Time passed slowly, and Mu'er, covered in wounds, lay struggling on the bed. She caught a cold again and her mind was hazy, her vision blurry, and she had no consciousness at all.
Di Muxi could see a vague figure, but there was nothing to see in the dark room.
I thought it was just another chaotic daily routine until I saw some flames approaching from a distance, and then a group of people walked into the house.
It was so dark that it was hard to see each figure clearly, but as this group of people came in, a large number of portable lights illuminated the entire room much brighter.
"Hurry up and treat them. Those guys are really too much. They beat Mu'er so badly."
The leader who was speaking was a short person with a soft and pleasant voice. Di Muxi tried to smell it and found that it indeed had the scent of orchid.
"Could it be that Bai Yaoyao really came to save me? But on what basis?"
Di Muxi was mentally prepared and was not too shocked. Instead, he pondered over the possibilities.
Little did he know that the real scenes around him and the real touch of his flesh had given Di Muxi the illusion that this was reality. It was difficult for him to have any doubts, and instead he felt strange about Bai Yaoyao's behavior.
"Princess, it's time for us to go back to sleep. I'm here for you." Bai Xiaolu whispered next to Pink Ball.
"OK then."
The pink ball yawned. The little kid who was not even five years old was still very sleep-deprived. He muttered to himself and left holding the hand of another maid.
"Really? Brother Eleven, Brother Twelve, and Brother Thirteen only know how to fight. Mu'er didn't do anything to me."
The figure with a baby voice gradually disappeared, and Di Muxi fell into deep thought. After so many years, had she really recognized the wrong enemy?
but……
The hatred for Yaoyao hidden deep in her heart made her feel that all this was just imagination, all fake, but if it was imagination, why would it appear in such a real dream?
What is true and what is false?
………………
"Its daybreak?"
Di Muxi slowly sat up and looked out the window. Even on a winter day with extremely short days, a few rays of sunlight still shone in.
She actually slept until noon. This was the first time in all her years as an emperor. This was too lazy.
But it’s really comfortable to sleep in during the winter.
While thinking about this, Di Muxi called the maid to help her change clothes and wash up. After dinner, she sat in front of the desk and looked at the memorials. Suddenly, she lost interest in handling official business. She forced herself to calm down and deal with matters such as the land tax, the cancellation of road permits to encourage people to do business, etc. However, the scene of the real dream last night could not stop popping up in her mind.
"What is real?"
The night passed in a daze. Di Muxi, who did not handle official business as usual, excitedly lay back on the bed and fell asleep.
She still felt that she should look for the answer in her dreams, as most of the contents in her memory were vague and had no reference value.
…………
"It turns out that going to bed early will help you fall asleep."
Di Muxi looked at the surrounding scene with joy. It was already spring, her third year in this world. In her vague memory, it seemed that after the slingshot brawl incident, her peaceful life continued until after the New Year.
But to say it was a stable life meant that they had food to eat and were not beaten. They still had to do some dirty and tiring work, but it was still better than living in the Dahuang Kingdom.
The most important thing is that Di Muxi clearly remembers that it was from this time that Mu'er understood what it meant to please people and flatter people, and also understood what it meant to plot and scheme.
This is not Mu'er's fault. The main reason is that she didn't even have the opportunity to flatter others in Dahuang Kingdom. She was bullied by the concubines and children of the previous empress for many years, which naturally developed a gloomy personality with inferiority complex and autism. After coming to Qi Kingdom, the peaceful life for a few months made Mu'er realize the importance of pleasing others.
The most important thing is to have someone to please.
"But in my memory, it seems that the two years or so when I was trying to please Bai Yaoyao were the most insulting to me."
Di Muxi was thinking while paying attention to Mu'er's actions and recalling his past experiences.
"The princess is wearing such a beautiful dress today."
Mu'er suppressed the scarlet hatred in her eyes and said with a smile: "This pink hairpin is very beautiful. The princess must be the most beautiful among all the girls."
"That is."
The pink dumpling smiled brightly after being praised, and looked even cuter: "This is the New Year's gift my father gave me."
Mu'er felt a little jealous, as she knew that this hairpin was very rare. It was carved from a huge pink gemstone and had an ingenious mechanism designed inside, so it had a very strong clamping force.
Only the Emperor of Qi would dote on his daughter, wearing such a priceless treasure on her head.
"Princess, are we going to East Street to eat delicious food today?" Bai Xinyi immediately came out to curry favor, and when she mentioned the delicious food in East Street, she licked the corners of her dry mouth conditionally.
This silly princess is really generous. Every time she goes out to eat delicious food, she usually gives the food to the servants for free.
"I'm tired of eating. I want to climb the back mountain to see the scenery."
After saying this, Pink Balloon became more excited, and the matter was settled. A group of maids dressed up the princess, while others began to prepare the phoenix carriage. How could the princess, with such a delicate body, really walk on the mountain road? Just walking a few steps would be enough, but she would still have to sit on the carriage.
"Shou Muzi, come out quickly, the princess is in a hurry to get on the car."
When Mu'er heard the voice, she walked out of the crowd and saw the princess in the center of the crowd wearing a gorgeous brocade dress embroidered with exquisite golden phoenix and peony patterns. The perfect design made Bai Yaoyao look even more lovely.
The sharp-eyed Di Muxi noticed that Bai Yaoyao was wearing a necklace made of red coral and pearls around her neck, and gold bracelets on her slender wrists, and she was covered in jewels.
