Chapter 13 Trade (1)

There are two trees outside the window, one is a jujube tree and the other is a jujube tree.

Every half a day or so, a bird will fly by. Sometimes it is black, sometimes it is black.

When it is sunny, the window is empty; when it is raining, a small spider will crawl over the window.

"Die! Death! Death!"

Princess Navarra in the room held a needle and inserted it into the voodoo doll wrapped in the hair of the Count of Ile de France.

A young maid walked over with a smile and put the plate containing breakfast on the table: "Princess, why are you unable to get along with this scarecrow again?"

The day after arriving at the Principal of Brittany, the Duke of Brittany invited Princess Navarra to Princess Navarra. The whip on the princess's body had already scabbed, but after a careful examination, the doctor still judged that the princess could not breathe the cool breeze and needed to rest indoors for one to two months. In order to prevent the princess from being too bored, the Duke of Brittany specially provided a maid to Princess Navarra. She was about the same age as the princess, with bright eyes and white teeth, smart and cleverness, and was very popular with the princess.

"Because I have an irreconcilable hatred with him!" The princess continued to angrily assault the scarecrow, "I can't eat or sleep if I don't pierce hundreds of holes into him every day!"

"Yes, yes, yes." The maid smiled and shook the napkin open. "The Duke ran outside all day long, and didn't know how to come and see it. I would be angry if I was the one who made me. Why don't I prepare a cake for the princess, and next time he entered the door, you will smash it hard on his face!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I won't get angry about this."

Princess Navarra put down the grass doll and stood up. The maid pulled her chair, tied her napkin, and poured milk into the cup. The breakfast included a white bread made of fine wheat, a high-quality ham, a fried egg, a fresh vegetable salad, and a very artistic fruit platter.

"He is the lord of a country and should have put the affairs of the territory first. Among the young nobles, not many people work hard to govern this way. Many nobles have to just live by, only knowing how to eat and drink, indulge in love with each other, and they are good at climbing over the wall and having an affair, but they don't even know how to ride a horse and fight. Even if I accompany me every day, I still look down on him."

"I understand, I understand. Anyway, the Duke is so handsome, everything he does is right."

The little maid took the tray into her arms, raised her head, and began to think a lot:

"I will also marry a handsome man in the future. I will take advantage of the opportunity to work here to secretly learn the etiquette of the nobles, and then save some money to buy a luxurious set of clothes. Maybe at any time I can pretend to be a descendant of a declining nobleman and be carried by the passing knights, hehe."

"Hey? Are you going to pretend to be a noble lady?"

"I'm very confident in my face." The little maid bent down and pointed to her bright big eyes, "Isn't it?"

"Indeed, if you want to wear good clothes, those low-level knights will not be able to tell the difference, and they will definitely buzz over like bees collecting nectar."

Princess Navarra tasted all the food on the table, and then pushed the rest at the little maid: "Come on, all this is for you."

"Hey? Is that OK?" the little maid swallowed, "These are all prepared for you, Princess."

"It's okay, eat it. But I have a request."

"What?"

"After eating, accompany me to the garden."

"Hey?" the little maid hesitated, "The Duke asked me to watch out for you, don't blow the wind outside... If you want to go to the library..."

"Duke is so hard-working. I happened to learn a soup that can refresh my energy after drinking it, so I want to make a pot for him by myself. However, it takes some special flowers to make it." Princess Navarra blinked, "It's all a secret before giving it to the Duke. It's secret, don't let others know, okay?"

"Princess, your body?"

"It won't be a problem for a while. When I came here, I blew a lot of wind on the boat!"

"Okay... Then I'm welcome!"

The little maid grabbed the remaining food on the table and started eating it voraciously.

After a while, the two of them had arrived at the garden. It was actually more appropriate to describe it as a "sea of ​​flowers". The flowers could not see at first sight, and seemed to extend to the end of the sky. Among the clusters of flowers, you could also see flowing water and pavilions from time to time.

The center of the garden is a small lake, surrounded by a series of trees, making it look particularly quiet. A small boat is docked on the edge of the lake, with oars placed casually on it for people to row and roam.

Princess Navarra raised her nose and took intoxicated breath of the fragrance of the flowers. Then she reached into the lake and felt the coolness of the water.

"Princess, what kind of flowers are we going to pick?" asked the little maid. "There are all kinds of flowers here, and I can't count them, but I don't know if there is any one that princess you need."

"In fact, it's not a flower, but a kind of grass that grows in a cool place and can be found in ordinary gardens."

Princess Navarra bent down and separated a bouquet of flowers with her hands. She searched carefully on the ground, and before she knew it, she crawled into the flowers.

"Princess, be careful." The little maid followed closely behind and reminded, "Some flowers here are thorny. If they are accidentally scratched, they will hurt and bleed."

"Finished!"

Princess Navarra excitedly dug a small green plant out of the soil. It looked like a vegetable, with thin leaves as thin as stems and grass, and thin leaves as transparent as cicada wings protecting the pearl-like buds.

"This is enough. Let's go to the kitchen to get some other ingredients. After cooking it into soup, you will be very energetic."

"The Duke is so happy that you can make soup for him yourself."

——"Messenger? Where did the messenger come from?"

It was the voice of the Duke of Brittany. The little maid hurriedly suppressed Princess Navarra and said timidly in her ear: "Princess, don't get up. If the Duke finds out, I will be punished."

Princess Navarra had no intention of letting the maid be punished, so she continued to hide in the flowers quietly.

Outside the flowers, the whispers of the Duke of Brittany and another man came:

"It is an envoy from Navarra. Duke, you should remember that you sent it before..."

The words "Navara" suddenly aroused the princess' curiosity. She was the only one left in Navara's royal family. She didn't know who could send envoys on behalf of Navara, and she didn't know why Navara sent envoys to the Principal of Brittany for now.

"I remember. However, this came a little too soon." The Duke of Brittany said, "The situation in Navarre has stabilized? What do they say?"

"The messenger said that their ranks had reached the border of the Principality of Brittany, Baron Melay."

When he spoke, the man pressed his voice very low, but these words still clearly reached the princess' ears:

“…They want to welcome the princess back home in person.”

Princess Navarra felt ecstatic. There were indeed some royalist nobles in China, but they were not very powerful. According to this, it seemed that the royalist won the struggle and wanted to welcome her back to the country to inherit the throne. She didn't even dare to think about such a thing in her dream.

However, the next sentence of the Duke of Brittany is:

"Very good. So are they going to live or die?"

"The messenger said that they still have some important things to ask from the princess, so I'll bother the duke to continue to take good care of people and not to make the princess suspicious. However, according to their opinions, the princess probably cannot return to the Kingdom of Navarra alive."

"Then what I want?"

"Of course, they have promised that they will find another good-for-matched, real princess from the country for the Duke."
