Zhou Fu followed the soldier to the assembly point, and saw that many people had already assembled and were queuing up to get their tools.He stretched his neck and took a closer look, and found that those tools turned out to be stone mortars and pounders for pounding rice. He couldn't help being puzzled, and asked the soldier, "Isn't it for painting the wall? Why did you find tools for pounding rice?"

"This tool is for pounding spices."

"Pound spices?"

"That's right, our princess wants a palace painted with incense powder, why not?"

"What spices are used?"

"I heard it's called 'Yunhui Grass'... I don't know very well either."

Zhou Fu nodded secretly. He remembered that ancient books once recorded a spice called Yunhui vanilla, which was produced in Khotan.This kind of spice is as white as jade, and it will not decay in the soil, so it was used by the ancients to pound it with the soil and use it as a paint to paint the walls. It is both fragrant and white.Presumably he was talking about this spice.

"I heard that this kind of spice comes from the Western Regions and is extremely valuable. It's really a big deal to paint the entire Crystal Palace with it, tsk tsk..." Zhou Fu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the water palace.

The soldier snorted coldly after hearing this: "The king of Qin has a family of ten thousand, and these are just a drop in the bucket."

"Aren't there craftsmen who paint the walls? Why do we even have to go!"

The soldier said angrily: "Hey, who can say no! If it wasn't for the princess's impromptu idea, the work could be handed over today, but now it's a good thing. Everyone on the construction site is required to do these jobs. We are not craftsmen, how do we know these things?" , It’s just to drive ducks to the shelves!”

Zhou Fu still wanted to ask more questions, but the supervisor on the side shouted: "Stop whispering, get the tools quickly!"

The two didn't dare to talk anymore, they went forward to get the tools, and went to work with the others...

But it was said that Gao Shiqian and Meng Jinhua were hiding in the corner that night, when they heard footsteps approaching, they quickly huddled in the corner.Gao Shiqian stood in front of Jinhua, leaned out slightly, and waited for the battle.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it was a man and a woman who came, and they talked in a low voice as they walked: "I heard that the princess asked the prince for a favor today, and wants to paint the Crystal Palace with Yunhui vanilla. Don’t want to, it’s ready on the spot.”

"That's right, there are still three days left, how can such a big palace be made in time!" the woman said.

"Who told our prince to spoil her? As long as the princess asks, she always responds to requests." The man said.

"Wangfei doesn't know how many blessings she has cultivated in her lifetime to be so favored by the prince!"

"If so, the concubine still feels inadequate, and I don't know what troubles will happen in a few days..."


"Who says it's not," the man sighed, "Let's get the clothes quickly, lest the concubine wait in a hurry and be punished again."

"Yeah, the injury on my arm still hurts now..."

"Hey!"

The two sighed, quickened their pace, and headed towards the corner of the corridor.

Seeing them walking away, Gao Shiqian and Jinhua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Listen to them, we have met a barbaric princess." Jin Hua pouted.

"You are right, this is indeed a barbaric princess." Gao Shiqian nodded, "I'm afraid this test will be difficult."

"Do you know where this is?" Jin Hua's eyes lit up.

"It should be close to ten."

"Tell me, what is this place?"

"In the Sui Dynasty, the third son of Sui Wendi Yang Jian, the palace of Qin Wang Yang Jun."

"Yang Jun? I haven't heard of it."

"He is the third son of Yang Jian and Empress Dugu, the younger brother of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. He participated in the battle against Chen in the Sui Dynasty and was named the King of Qin."

"I have never heard of this person. Compared with his elder brother Yang Guang, he really has no sense of existence in history."

"There is one thing that the two brothers are very similar."

"what?"

"Arrogant and extravagant, extravagant by nature."

"I just heard from those two people that they built a crystal palace for the princess. It sounds extravagant! Who is that princess? She is so arrogant. I feel that the king of Qin and his concubine are the same as King Zhou You and Baosi, King Yin Zhou and King Zhou. Su Da has her own fight."

Gao Shiqian couldn't help but said amusedly: "Your analogy is correct, but this Princess Cui is much more vicious than Baosi and Daji."

"No way, it's more poisonous than Su Daji, so how poisonous it must be!" Jinhua couldn't help but shudder, "Then let's get out of here as soon as possible."

"What about your fearless spirit, why does Princess Cui frighten you?"

"The hearts of the most poisonous women! I don't want to participate in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in the Sui Dynasty. The minds of those vicious women are dark and rugged, with thousands of ravines and ravines, making it impossible to look directly at them."

"What are you afraid of? Everyone is human. Could it be that they have three heads and six arms?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that there's no need to compete with these poisonous women. Haven't you heard of this saying, if you stare at the abyss for too long, the abyss will stare back. If you fight a dragon, you will become a dragon yourself."

"It's a pity, this time we have to fight this evil dragon, Boss Meng, show your courage."

"Why, is it possible that the clothes we are looking for are in the Palace of Prince Qin?" Jin Hua looked at Gao Shichen with a bitter face.

"Exactly, the 'Seven Treasures Fence' mentioned by those two people just now must be what we are looking for."

"What is this? It doesn't sound like the name of the clothes." She was a little puzzled.

"It's really not. The Qibao 羃松 is a kind of hat worn on the head, which looks like a bamboo hat, with gauze curtains hanging around the edges, used to block the wind and sand and hide the face."

"Oh..." The veiled hats worn by foreign ladies appeared in Jinhua's mind, "I probably know what it looks like, so we have such hats in ancient times!" A sense of pride suddenly sprouted in her heart.It seems that many of the international fashions she thought were not necessarily exclusive to the West.

"Fences appeared in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and they were worn by princes and nobles when they traveled. At first they were mostly used by men, and later they became popular among women. After Emperor Gaozong and Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, fences were gradually replaced by curtain hats."

"I have to say, you are really an encyclopedia of ancient costumes!" Jin Hua gave a thumbs up, "Then the Seven Treasures Fence, is it in this palace?"

"The two just said that the princess's birthday will be in three days, so the Seven Treasures will surely appear on that day."

"Then what should we do?"

"The most urgent thing is to change your clothes first."

"Where can I change it?"

Gao Shiqian smiled slightly and took her hand: "Let's go, come with me."
