Chapter 134: Is it time to shed its skin?
Xia Qingqing received news that envoys from various countries would arrive in about a month, and then it would be just as the Queen said, and they would no longer be able to go out casually.
Thinking of this, Xia Qingqing hurried to finish her things, especially the amusement palace, which had to be completed quickly so that she would have a place to entertain herself when the time came.
The next day, I got up early and went out of the palace to see the beef bones that were made yesterday. The people from yesterday were already waiting inside.
I didn’t know if the things inside were ready, so I came here early to wait for the princess. I was sure the princess would know.
"Princess, you are finally here." They were very excited to see Xia Qingqing coming. After all, they really didn't know what to do.
Seeing Xia Qingqing coming was like seeing a savior.
Xia Qingqing nodded and walked past them straight into the greenhouse, asking as she walked.
"How are the bones inside? Are they dry?"
They nodded immediately, "It's dry. It dried not long ago yesterday, but we didn't know what to do, so we just left it in there to dry."
Xia Qingqing didn't say anything, but when she went in, she saw several large backpacks filled with a lot of cow bones, in small pieces.
She went up and touched it, picked up a piece and looked at it. It was indeed dry, so she could proceed to the next step.
"These are indeed dry, take these and let's move on to the next step."
Those people were relieved to see that they didn't ruin these things. They didn't sleep well last night, fearing that they hadn't done it well.
Now that I think about it, it might be better to go and open up new land. At least I won’t be so scared and I can just work hard every day.
Xia Qingqing didn’t know what they were thinking at the moment. She just wanted to get all these things done quickly.
When they were going out, Wu Zhi was walking towards them. Xia Qingqing remembered that there were still some bamboo strips missing, so she stopped Wu Zhi.
"Master Wu Nong, can you ask someone to cut the bamboo?"
"Princess, what do you want the bamboo for? When do you need it?"
"Don't worry about this, do it right away, the sooner the better!" Xia Qingqing waved her hand, took the others away, and left only her back to Wu Zhi.
When Wu Zhi saw this, he realized that this was a sign of the princess's appreciation of him. Otherwise, why would she call him instead of anyone else? He immediately went to find someone to cut bamboo.
There are still a lot of bamboos on the mountain behind. It would be a waste if we don’t cut them down.
Xia Qingqing took the others to an open space and asked them to grind the cow bones flat.
At Xia Qingqing's command, they immediately started working, working enthusiastically in the open space.
It didn't rain today and the sun came out, so the wet and dry ground yesterday became dry, making it easier to do things.
Xia Qingqing watched them make it on the spot and told them what size the pieces should be ground to.
At the beginning they were not very skilled, but later they gradually became familiar with it. They were all used to doing things, so they got the hang of it in no time.
These things gradually became more and more proficient. Xia Qingqing saw that there was no need to watch here anymore, so she stood up and left.
In fact, they could work faster if she left. If she stood there, they would become nervous and their work would naturally slow down.
Besides, she was thinking about going up and trying to see if she could make playing cards. She couldn't just play mahjong at that time, right?
They are just too idle now, including the ministers. When they have something to entertain themselves, they will naturally not always think about rebellion.
She was sitting in her own study. Xiaoqing came out from her sleeve, sticking out her tongue, and skillfully crawled to a piece of exquisite cloth next to her and lay down.
This was a sleeping place prepared for her by Xia Qingqing. Xia Qingqing followed Xiaoqing's gaze, and after Xiaoqing had curled up, she suddenly spoke.
"Xiaoqing, have you grown up a little now?"
Xiaoqing looked up, [I don't know either? ]
"I think you've grown a little taller, and your body looks bigger too."
As Xia Qingqing was talking, she saw a bulge on Xiaoqing's body and cried out in surprise.
"Xiaoqing, what is this?"
This sudden exclamation startled Xiaoqing, [What, what happened? ]
Xiaoqing stared at Xia Qingqing with her round black eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable and itchy.
Unconsciously twisting her body, Xia Qingqing gently touched the bulge on his body, and with a slight pull, it actually came off.
"Hey, this, this is your skin, right? Are you going to shed it?"
Xiaoqing didn't know what Xia Qingqing meant by shed skin, but it knew that if they wanted to grow up, they had to rub off the old skin on their bodies. This should be the shed skin she was talking about, right?
[That should be it. I feel itchy all over my body, as if something is about to come out.]
Xia Qingqing knew what was going on as soon as she saw it. It must be because Qingqing had never experienced molting before, so she was not very familiar with it. She was so ignorant and confused for the first time.
She then looked around the room and found that there was nothing she wanted in the room. After telling Xiaoqing not to move, she walked out the door.
Chuntao, Taohua and the others also wanted to go, but Xia Qingqing wouldn't let them move and asked them to stay here and watch Xiaoqing.
After a while, Xia Qingqing's hurried footsteps were heard, and Xia Qingqing came in with two stones.
He took it to Xiaoqing excitedly and said.
"Xiaoqing, come here quickly and see what I found."
Xiao Qing stood up and tilted her head, "These are two stones. What are you going to do with them? I can't eat them."
Xia Qingqing rolled her eyes at it and said, "Who told you to eat it? I gave it to you to rub against."
Xiaoqing obviously didn't quite understand what Xia Qingqing meant. She stared at Xia Qingqing with a puzzled look on her face. It must be said that Xiaoqing looked very cute, but this was only in Xia Qingqing's eyes.
Chuntao and Taohua saw that Xia Qingqing's face remained calm while she was talking to Xiaoqing. They knew this scene was already commonplace.
They certainly didn't believe that Xia Qingqing could understand what the animals said, and they just thought it was a child's imagination, because when they were young, they could talk to themselves for half a day.
Xia Qingqing knew that this was Xiaoqing's first time, so she taught it by putting two stones on the table and moving its hands between the two stones.
"That's it, you rub this stone, so you can use the external object to shed your skin."
She used to like watching documentaries and saw that snakes shed their skin in this way. She didn't know if it would work, but it always made sense to give it a try.
