After coming out of Lingqi Palace, Wu Zetian was still a little worried.

At the moment, Wu Zetian asked Sima Chengzhen, who was accompanying him, said: "Daoyin Immortal Master, are you alone wrong?"

"I have not been concerned about the world for a long time." Sima Chengzhen smiled and said, "But since ancient times, marriage has been the words of the matchmaker by his parents' orders. What's wrong with the queen?"

"The order of parents?" Wu Zetian seemed to be touched.

Gao Lingsong asked in a low voice: "Queen, is he going back to Penglai Palace now?"

Wu Zetian hesitated for a moment and said, "Go to Qingsi Palace. I haven't seen the Emperor for many days. Let's have dinner with the Emperor tonight in Qingsi Palace."

"Here." Gao Lingsong turned around and waved his hand.

A strong eunuch had already lifted his shoulders up.

However, after getting on the shoulder carriage, Wu Zetian said again: "Forget it, let's go back to Penglai Palace."

"Here!" Gao Lingsong didn't dare to ask too much, and signaled the two eunuchs to turn around and go to Penglai Palace.

Wu Zetian leaned her body against her shoulders, and her face showed a look of fatigue. When she was in front of her, she was still the smart and capable queen, but she was inevitably tired.

Anyway, she is almost sixty years old.

...

In the guard and capture department.

After Cui Erlang returned from Changlefang, Pei Shaoqing asked him to go to the general to serve as the supervisor again.

Half an hour later, Cui Erlang came back and reported: "Dalang, you have everything you want."

Pei Shaoqing put down the brush in his hand, then randomly placed the sketches already drawn on the table and the manuscripts he had asked for from Liu Yizhi, and followed Cui Erlang to the yard outside.

I saw that a lot of wood had been piled up in the yard, all of which were just pulled by Cui Erlang from the General Manager.

The carpenter head Yang Qi followed the craftsman and pointed to the mountain of wood, introducing: "According to Pei Sicheng's instructions, Xiao Lao chose three kinds of wood, namely yellow plow wood, red sandalwood wood and golden nanmu wood."

"Well, it's done well." Pei Shaoqing nodded gently. These are all excellent wood.

Lu Shisan raised his hands and asked, "Do you dare to ask Pei Sicheng, but do you want to carve any wooden tools?"

"That's right." Pei Shaoqing took out a sketch and asked, "Old Lu, can you understand this pattern?"

Pei Shaoqing drew a sketch of a wooden movable type.

He originally wanted to directly use copper movable type or even lead movable type.

However, after careful consideration, I finally decided to use wooden movable type.

Although the reliability of wood movable type is lower, it is better to have simple processing.

If you just put copper and lead movable type directly, if it is time to cast and carve it out, it will be a complete deed.

There is no problem of wood movable type not being processed, and he vaguely remembers that wood plate printing seemed to be very popular in the Song and Ming dynasties, so wood movable type should be no problem.

It's just a few more attempts.

Lu Shisan came over and looked carefully, and asked again: "Is the word at this moment?"

"I'm right, the words are engraved." Pei Shaoqing said, "Is there any problem?"

Lu Shisan said: "There are no other problems, it's just that you have to have a model of characters."

Pei Shaoqing spread out Liu Yizhi's manuscript and said, "You first use a carving knife to hollow out the handwriting on the paper, then cover it in turn and rub it on the wood cut by the carpenter group, and then carve it into a positive text."

Lu Shisan nodded and said solemnly: "I understand."

Pei Shaoqing took out another drawing and turned to Yang Qi and said, "Old Yang, the task of your carpenter team is relatively simple, which is to break these wood into squares according to the size on the drawing!"

"Here." Yang Qi raised his hands and bowed, and respectfully took the drawing.

Pei Shaoqing clapped his hands and said, "Then let's start now!"

"Here!" Yang Qi, Lu Shisan and twenty craftsmen handed over and bowed, then turned around and took out their respective tools, paper-carved paper-carved paper and sawing wood, and began to get busy.

At this moment, a drum suddenly sounded in the public room next door.

Immediately, Hulang's loud voice came out: "You are right, it's bad, everything is bright!"

It’s already the right time for You? In another half an hour, the dusk drum will be ringed and the palace gate will be closed.

Pei Shaoqing called Cui Erlang over and ordered: "Erlang, the city gate is about to be closed. Go and buy some food outside Xing'an Gate."

"Hey." Cui Erlang responded but stood still.

"Why are you still standing there?" Pei Shaoqing kicked Cui Erlang in the butt, "Go quickly."

Cui Erlang rubbed his butt twice, and said with a slight look on his face: "You haven't given me money yet."

"Are you stupid?" Pei Shaoqing was so angry, "Isn't the money in the backyard warehouse, go get it yourself."

"Grandma said it's not allowed to take it." Cui Erlang scratched his head and said, "Only Dalang can touch the money for the guard's arresting department, and no one is allowed to touch it."

"Give me the key." Pei Shaoqing said angrily.

Take the key from Cui Erlang and go to the warehouse to get twenty stalks.

"No need to be so many." Cui Erlang hurriedly said, "There are only a dozen people, and I can't eat these."

"Who said there are only twenty people?" Pei Shaoqing groaned, "Buy enough food for one hundred people, and buy another ten pots of good wine to come back."

Cui Erlang turned around and went with a oh.

"Are you trying to buy people's hearts?"

A female voice suddenly rang out quietly.

Pei Shaoqing was startled and when he looked back, he saw Qingxuan standing behind him at some point.

"When did you come?" Pei Shaoqing said, "Why didn't I see it? I didn't hear your footsteps?"

Qingxuan raised his pink chin and snorted, the implication was that if you saw and heard, would I still be the chief female disciple of Tiantai Sect?

Pei Shaoqing then realized that Qingxuan had changed into a light blue Taoist robe.

The bun is also tied up, but it is wet and obviously just washed.

Pei Shaoqing even smelled a faint fragrance between his nose.

Obviously, Qingxuan not only had a bath, but also had a lot of fragrant powder on her body, which is a good phenomenon.

Pei Shaoqing smiled slightly and said, "The ancients said that any handsome little girl would have a fragrance on her body. I didn't believe it, but today I believe it."

"Bah." Qing Xuan spat and said, "Which ancient man said this? Why have I never heard of it? I'm afraid it was made up by you, the disciple."

"Qingxuan, I find that your appearance is so beautiful." Pei Shaoqing suddenly approached and said with a smile, "Are you practicing acting cute as a kid? Come on, let me spit another one for your husband."

"Dengtuzi!" Qingxuan subconsciously wanted to spit out again.

But soon realized something was wrong, so I forced myself to hold it back.

"Say something that makes you sad." Qingxuan snorted and said, "Your Highness the Princess is confined."

"I had expected this long ago." Pei Shaoqing said with a sneer, "Otherwise, she had run out of the palace to have a secret meeting with me, how could she not see her until now?"

"You are really..." Qing Xuan said angrily, "I'm thick-skinned."
