Chapter 389 Hidden worries at the rear


Chapter 389 Hidden worries at the rear

Irene stared at herself in the mirror and pouted with some dissatisfaction, "Isn't that enough?"

A person stood behind her to dress her up. The woman smiled and said: "It's almost time, Your Highness."

The woman snickered in her heart: "After traveling for so long, this little princess is still so out-of-the-box."
< br>After finally finishing cleaning up, Irene happily picked up her skirt and trotted out.

"Slow down, Your Highness!" The palace lady guarding the door chased after him.

Irene walked all the way to the living room of the palace, where several girls about her age were already waiting.

“Your Highness the Princess!”

The girls stood up and bowed to Irene in a polite manner.

Irene smiled and stretched out her arms, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

Several maids carrying trays came over and placed refreshments for everyone.

"Mammy." Irene turned to the palace lady who followed and said, "We want to stay by ourselves for a while!" After saying this, her big eyes made a pitiful look.

The female officer glared at Irene sternly, but was finally defeated. She sighed and said: "Girls, you are all queens of famous families, and you are not children anymore. You need to be careful all the time. Pay attention to your behavior."

After giving a salute, she slowly walked out of the reception room.

“Yeah!”, after confirming that the female officer was gone, the girls burst into cheers.

They no longer sat quietly in their seats, but crowded into Irene's sofa.

These are aristocratic girls who are friends with Irene on weekdays.

"Irene, Irene! Keep telling us about the Northwest Bay!"

A petite girl with freckles on her face pulled Irene's arm.

“Tell us about Count Grayman’s invention again!”

Aileen has been back for a while, and her friends all know that she has traveled to the north of the kingdom for a while. However, because of the good confidentiality work, they did not know that Aileen ran away privately, and they all thought that she was under the strict protection of the palace guards. Went out incognito.

"This..." Irene said with some embarrassment: "After all his explanations, no matter how smart Graiman is, he can't invent one thing in a day!"

"Alas -" The freckled girl was a little disappointed.

“Haha, Anissa.” Another girl joked: “Are you thinking about that count?”

“Keep talking nonsense!”

The face of the girl who was called Anissa instantly turned red, and she pulled each other's mouth in embarrassment. Everyone laughed and watched the two chasing each other in the living room.

Everyone was very interested in the experience that Irene shared with them. It turned out that the paper that became popular in Jingyao in the past two years came from the Northwest Bay, and the beautiful porcelain that the nobles flocked to was also made in the Northwest Bay. came out.

It is not the legendary wilderness, there are also towns and villages, where nobles and commoners live, speaking Aldo language with a different tone from the residents of the royal capital.

And there is a unique lord there who is working hard to improve the education of his people, teach them literacy and make them sensible. It's strange. Don't the lords of small places generally think that the stupider their subjects are, the easier it is to govern them?

While everyone was joking, Irene asked the servant to fetch a book. She placed it on the table with pride and said with some show: "My trip to the Northwest Bay is not just for fun. This is my result!”

The girls looked at the table and saw the words "Basic Medical and Health Manual" written on the cover of the book.

Anissa picked up the book and opened the pages, and her friends gathered around to watch it together.

"Wow! That's amazing! She is indeed Princess Eileen, who is famous for her erudition." After a quick browse, everyone let out bursts of admiration.

This book mainly introduces some hygiene knowledge, such as bathing frequently, washing hands frequently, eating cooked food, drinking boiled water, as well as what "sterilization" should be done when treating wounds, ventilating the room when you are sick, and even There are various things that women should pay attention to when giving birth.

As nobles, many of the things mentioned in the book have been habits they have developed since childhood, but even the things they are accustomed to have a refreshing explanation in this book.

It turns out that there are many tiny lives in places invisible to the human eye - eggs of germs or parasites, and many diseases are caused by them. The various measures listed in the book can be very effective in preventing their harm to the human body.

They couldn't help but not believe it. After Irene came back, she asked a craftsman to make a microscope based on the principles introduced by Paul. The scene in the mirror frightened the girls.

The compliments from her playmates made Irene a little embarrassed, "That... is actually not my fault alone. It was co-authored by me and the female Kakuwan scholar named Ladi. She is much better than me, and most of the measures listed in the book come from Count Grainman, we...we just compiled them!"

"Copy one for us too!"

Anissa petitioned Irene on behalf of the girls.

The little princess smiled mysteriously, "Copying? It's too inefficient!" "What?" Everyone was puzzled.

“What are the characteristics of the words in the book?”

The girls frowned and observed.

One of them said thoughtfully: "These letters are so regular! Especially those letters and words that are the same, it's like...as if they came from the same mold."
< br>

"Bingo, that's the right answer!"

Irene explained: "It's made from the same mold, which is [printing]. There is a magical machine in the Northwest Bay - a printing press, which can print books in batches It can be produced in batches without laborious copying."

"Irene, you also said that you have finished talking about Earl Grayman's invention! I have never heard of this printing press." Anissa pouted, expressing her strong dissatisfaction.

"Well...he just came up with the idea, and what he finally completed...is a collective invention after all."

After prevarication, Irene announced: "I have sent someone to Northwest Bay has ordered a printing press from Graiman, and will print this book when it comes back. Not only you, but everyone in Jingyao can see this book.”

The little princess plans to popularize good hygiene habits such as drinking boiled water in Jingyao. As a member of the royal family, she believes this is her obligation.

Of course Irene's plan is definitely more than that. She also plans to replicate her great undertakings in the Northwest Bay in Jingyao, such as setting up schools and building signal towers.

"Excuse me, Your Highness Princess!"

While everyone was talking excitedly, a servant entered the reception room.

“What happened?”

"Miss Anissa's family is here, saying they have something important to see her."

"Let him come in."

Soon, another man dressed as a deacon hurried away Come in.

"Is it you? What's the matter?" Anissa recognized the deacon of her family.

The deacon said respectfully: "Miss, the young master is back and wants you to go back and reunite as soon as possible."

"Is it my brother?" Anissa looked excited, "He's back?"

Anissa's brother has been stationed in Westport with Harrison Abbott and has not returned home for a long time.

"He is back, but..." The deacon showed a sad expression, "He will rush back to the station soon. This time he is returning to the king just to deliver a message, so I urgently ask you to go back and see him."< br>
Anissa then said goodbye to Irene in a hurry.

Irene frowned and asked the deacon: "Brother Anissa's troops are stationed in Westport, right? Is the situation there still very serious? Is it because of pirates?"

The deacon shook his head: "I heard from my young master that the trouble this time is not pirates, but it is also related to the last pirate invasion."

"What is it?"

"Goblin, When the pirates occupied Westport last time, they secretly released a large number of Goblins into the nearby area. These filthy creatures were very cunning. When the Kingdom's army first regained Westport, they hid in the forest and multiplied quietly. Now... I don’t know how many there are now.”

“Goblin?” Irene frowned. If these things are not killed in the early stage, it will be very difficult later.

“Disgusting! It’s a Goblin.”

"Really, how did the pirates bring this disgusting creature?"

A few girls in the living room exclaimed, and it seemed that they had also heard of this terrible creature.

There are also girls who have never heard of it, but after being "popularized" by their companions, they all cursed the goblins and the pirates who were the culprits.

After bidding farewell to Anissa, Irene looked in the direction of the meeting hall of the palace. Her father should be there now. Since Anissa's brother came back to report, the king must have known about it.

And she also knew that the main force of the kingdom's army in the south was facing a decisive battle with the rebels.

But accidents happen frequently in the rear...

Come on, sister.
