Ouyang Shuo brought Wang Feng to the gate of the palace.
The guard at the gate stopped the two of them and shouted: "The royal palace is an important place, and no one else is allowed to approach. Who are you, get out of here quickly."
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, and said respectfully, "Brother guard, please let me know. How can a strange person say that he has no clothes, and there is a rare treasure dedicated to the concubine Yuan."
The guard was stunned. Ever since Ouyang Shuo was judged to be the representative of the Yellow Emperor's camp, all NPCs in the Yellow Emperor's camp automatically knew of his existence.
Therefore, upon hearing Ouyang Shuo's self-introduction, the guard did not dare to neglect, and his attitude immediately slowed down, and he said embarrassedly: "So you are the representative of a different person, please wait a moment, I will report right away."
"I'm sorry." Ouyang Shuo nodded.
Ten minutes later, the guard turned back and said to Ouyang Shuo, "Your Majesty, please go in."
Ouyang Shuo and Wang Feng followed the guards into the palace. Along the way, Ouyang Shuo looked at the layout of the palace, everything seemed extremely simple, practical, and typical wild style.
The guard took them to a side hall and said, "Go in by yourself, the empress will receive you inside."
"Thank you." Ouyang Shuo thanked again.
Walking into the side hall, I saw a young and beautiful woman sitting at the head, with delicate features, the lines of the face were a bit hard, and the bridge of the nose was slightly high. The long hair hangs down directly, without any decorations, which looks very kind and natural. She was wearing a white silk short-sleeved long skirt, the skirt only reached the knees, revealing a pair of slightly dark arms and a pair of extremely toned legs, fully displaying the rough and wild beauty of the primitive society.
A khaki shawl was draped across the woman's shoulders and tied in a knot at the waist. On the white forehead, a piece of jade is tied with a bead chain, which looks extremely noble. In addition, there is a piece of swallow-shaped jade hanging around the neck, I don't know what the meaning is. Needless to say, this must be Leizu, the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty.
There are also three young women and a cute little girl sitting on both sides of the side hall. Their clothes are basically similar to Leizu's, except that there is no jade on their foreheads. One of the women was ugly, and Ouyang Shuo guessed that it should be the fourth concubine of the Yellow Emperor, Momu. It can be inferred from this that the other two women should be the other two concubines of the Yellow Emperor, Children's Day and Tongyu.
As for that little girl, she was only about eleven or twelve years old, but Ouyang Shuo couldn't figure out her identity, it was very likely that she was a daughter of the Yellow Emperor. The little girl was extremely delicate, with long eyebrows, big eyes, a slightly fat face, fair and tender skin, just like a porcelain doll.
The little girl was wearing a long silk skirt with short sleeves, revealing a pair of white and tender arms. The skirt was pure white, without any embroidered patterns, but a belt made of jade was tied around the waist, and the skirt also only reached the knees. , wearing a pair of buckskin boots. A head of black and straight hair, loosely scattered, with a small braid tied with a white ribbon on each side, with a few white feathers inserted at the end.
There is also a wreath on the head, a swallow-shaped jade around the neck, and even a chain made of jade on the wrist of the right hand, which looks wild and playful.
Ouyang Shuo didn't know what to call the concubines of the Yellow Emperor, so he directly borrowed the names of later generations, bowed and saluted, and said, "Would a stranger be called Wuyi? Greetings, ladies and gentlemen!"
In Ouyang Shuo's eyes, the clothes of Lei Zu and the others were full of wild and exotic customs. But in the eyes of Leizu and the others, Ouyang Shuo and Wang Feng's attire was weird and unusual.
Since it was a battle map, Ouyang Shuo was naturally dressed as a military commander. Whether it was the Mingguang armor on his body or the Tang saber pinned to his waist, in the eyes of Lei Zu and others, they were no different from magical weapons.
You know, the era they lived in was still the Stone Age, and even the bronze wares were only owned by the Chiyou tribe in the south. This kind of weapons and equipment forged from fine iron is absolutely beyond their imagination.
That little girl was very lively. Seeing Ouyang Shuo, he was not afraid of strangers, and ran over directly from his seat. It seemed that he wanted to touch Ouyang Shuo's armor, especially the pair of golden round guards on the chest of Mingguang Armor. curious.
Leizu scolded: "Meier, don't be rude."
Ouyang Shuo was startled, this little girl in front of him was the Yellow Emperor's daughter Xuanyuan Mei, the legendary goddess Hanba? But it's not like the legend at all. How could such a cute little girl be an ugly Hanba? Presumably it is the result of fabrication by people of later generations.
Ouyang Shuo liked Xuanyuan Mei very much. He took out an exquisite dagger with a sheath from his storage bag, handed it to her, and said with a smile, "A small gift for Her Highness the Princess."
Xuanyuan Mei had just been scolded by her mother, although she liked the dagger that Ouyang Shuo handed over to her very much, she didn't dare to continue, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Lei Zu pitifully.
Lei Zu laughed secretly, and said calmly: "Since it is given to you by a guest, you can accept it!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Xuanyuan Mei giggled, her face immediately changed from cloudy to sunny, she reached out to take the dagger, and said to Ouyang Shuo, "Thank you too, a guest from afar, I like this gift very much."
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "As long as the little princess likes it." After Xuanyuan Mei returned to her seat and sat down, Ouyang Shuo continued, "Dear Concubine Yuan, I have something that I want to present to you. I hope your mother will allow you."
Leizu nodded. After the episode just now, her impression of Ouyang Shuo has improved a lot, and her attitude has become more friendly. She said, "I don't know what it is? If it's too expensive, it's better not to."
"Please don't worry, empress. Although this item is rare, it will be useless if it is placed in other places. Only in the hands of empress can it truly display its value." Ouyang Shuo explained.
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Leizu asked with interest.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and motioned to Wang Feng who was standing behind him to present the gift he prepared earlier. The gift was packed in an exquisite sandalwood box, in addition to thirty colorful silkworms of various colors, there were also unhatched silkworm eggs.
The reason why Ouyang Shuo brought the silkworm eggs was because he was afraid that an accident would happen to the colorful silkworms during the transmission.
Leizu signaled to the maid standing aside to take the wooden box from Wang Feng and put it on the table in front of him. When I opened it, I saw silkworms of various colors slowly crawling inside. I was surprised and delighted, and asked uncertainly, "Is this also a kind of silkworm?"
"That's right." Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "This is an extremely rare colorful silkworm. Not only do the bodies have different colors, but the silk that is spit out is also colorful."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Lei Zu finally smiled and said to Ouyang Shuo, "Very good, I like this gift very much, you are interested."
Ouyang Shuo's preparation was far more adequate than Lei Zu imagined. Seeing Lei Zu accepting the gift, Ouyang Shuo took out seven bolts of colored silk from the storage pouch, including all seven colors, and said respectfully: "This is silk woven from colored silk, please appreciate it. If the empress does not dislike it, please accept it with a smile."
Ouyang Shuo sent these silks and satins, one is to prove that he is not lying, the silkworms' protruding silk can indeed weave colorful silk; the other is to take the opportunity to give gifts to the other three concubines of the Yellow Emperor. When giving gifts, the most taboo thing is not to think carefully and miss someone. In that case, it is very likely that the other party will be offended. Naturally, Ouyang Shuo would not make such a low-level mistake.
Otherwise, if a certain concubine felt ashamed because she didn't receive the gift, and thus held a grudge against Ouyang Shuo, and then flirted with the Yellow Emperor, then Ouyang Shuo's previous efforts would have been in vain.
As the so-called love of beauty, everyone has it, let alone a group of women. Seeing the silk and satin presented by Ouyang Shuo, the empresses present were really moved. Their expressions became more and more cordial, and they were no longer as expressionless as when Ouyang Shuo first came in.
Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed, knowing that his move was right.
As a concubine of the Yuan Dynasty, Leizu is so shrewd. Of course, Ouyang Shuo's little tricks cannot be hidden from her eyes. She was very satisfied with Ouyang Shuo's carefulness, and said with a smile: "I should give you a reward for accepting such an expensive gift from you. Tell me Well, what kind of reward do you want?"
Ouyang Shuo was stunned. Before he came here, he never thought that such a gift would happen. This gift was just to increase Leizu's favor towards him, and then Huangdi's favor towards him, so that he could take the next step. Think of rewards.
Ouyang Shuo said sincerely: "A small gift is just my wish, as long as you ladies like it, I dare not ask for it."
Lei Zu shook his head and said: "No. The colorful silkworms you presented are of great use to the tribe, enough to be called an epoch-making contribution. They can greatly enrich the color of our fabrics and become more colorful. So A big contribution must be rewarded. In this way, I will give you a book on sericulture experience, which just complements each other."
Lei Zu took out a booklet tanned with animal skin and asked the maid to pass it to Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo took a look, and was overjoyed immediately, and said, "Thank you, Madam, for the reward!"
["Lei Zu Sericulture Experience Handbook"]: After use, increase silk production in the territory by 20%.
After receiving the reward, Ouyang Shuo was very sensible and knew that it was not appropriate to stay any longer, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late and I have to go back to the camp outside the city. Please allow me to leave first."
Lei Zu nodded and said, "In that case, I won't keep you either, so go."
"Here!" Ouyang Shuo said, leading Wang Feng, under the guidance of the palace maid, slowly exited the side hall and followed him out of the palace.
