This was the first time Princess Yuzhen heard this new word. She looked at Li Sixu with doubts, waiting for her to continue.
Li Sixu explained: "It means arranging the movable carved wood or clay character blocks in the character plate, and then printing them with ink."
"Take the scripts that Sisi sent to Yuzhen Temple for example. It's such a thick stack. It has to be carved out word by word with wooden boards, and then polished and printed. It is a huge project and consumes a lot of manpower. Material resources.”
"It is difficult to use the used carving boards in the future, and it will also cause great waste."
Princess Yuzhen listened intently, and Li Sixu continued: "But whether it is a storybook or a collection of poems, many handwritings can actually be reused. The words to be used can be carved into individual metal or clay blocks, and when used Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble to pick out the words according to the manuscript, arrange them on the type plate, and then apply ink and print them?"
"After use, the fonts can be taken out and reused when rearranged."
Li Sixu summarized the analysis: "In this way, there is no need to carve templates all the time. With only a set of character blocks and a character plate, you can arbitrarily print various poetry collections, documents and classics..."
When it came to movable type printing, Li Sixu talked a lot with her small mouth.
Princess Yuzhen looked at her blankly.
Li Sixu was very distressed: "Did Sisi make it too complicated?"
"No!"
Princess Yuzhen recovered from the shock: "I am thinking, what is in your little head? How can you come up with such a brilliant idea?"
Yao Chong spoke for her in the court because she studied under Sun Yizheng. When Lord Yao fell ill with malaria, the little girl took the place of his elder brother and attended to Lord Yao.
Jiang Shidu, who had always only built canals, had the courage to angrily attack the Duke of Chu in the court?
Princess Yuzhen was once surprised!
Now she knew why Jiang Shidu looked at the little guy in front of him with admiration.
Being so praised by Princess Yuzhen, Li Sixu smiled shyly: "Actually, this idea was not thought up by Sisi, but by a man named Bi Sheng. Sisi was borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha."
Princess Yuzhen asked her: "Who is this Bi Sheng from? I want to make friends with him."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to make friends with!"
Li Sixu was in trouble for a moment: "This person is from Sisi's dream."
If you can dream of writing weird and bizarre scripts, what else can you dream of about movable type printing?
Princess Yuzhen smiled meaningfully: "Sisi's dream is very good, I am so envious of it."
Li Sixu: "..."
Princess Yuzhen rarely went to the palace to attend banquets. When there were palace banquets that she couldn't avoid, she would only go to the palace for a formality. Pian Xuanzong was extremely fond of this sister who was devoted to the Tao and never said anything.
Since she escaped into the Taoist sect, she has rarely interacted with the emperor's relatives, and has always maintained a slight alienation from everyone, making it difficult to approach.
The eldest princess, who has such a gentle temperament and is like a fairy from this world, actually feeds snacks to the little cub in Linglongju, and occasionally tucks the strands of hair hanging on her temples behind her ears.
Seeing her aunt and nephew looking so affectionate, biting their ears and talking like they were old friends at first sight, Concubine Shu felt that all her plans had failed.
The prince had been watching from the dark, and Concubine Shu couldn't make any move.
The sunset on the horizon is reflected in the rippling Taiye Lake, as if the entire lake is on fire. The dinner is about to begin, and the painted boats scattered on the lakeshore are approaching the waterside pavilion.
There is a fragrant cloud on the temples next to the lakeshore!
The prince stood on the waterside pavilion and leaned on the railing to look out. Xue Xiu, who was following him, couldn't help but said: "I'm sorry for my stupidity, why does the prince turn against his wife?"
"I am helping her!"
The prince turned his gaze back from the lake and looked at Li Sixu, who was chatting with Princess Yuzhen in the Waterside Pavilion: "Aunt Yuzhen has rarely been close to people since she escaped into the Taoist sect. Have you ever seen her fall in love with anyone at first sight? My wife The mother-in-law is no match for the little imperial sister."
Xue Xiu followed the prince's gaze and looked at Li Sixu who was whispering to Princess Yuzhen. He didn't know what the little princess said. Princess Yuzhen had a smile on her face and looked at her with admiration.
It was a look that was astonishing as if he had picked up a treasure.
This surprised Xue Xiu: "The little princess seems to be able to confuse people's hearts."
"I still don't understand. Even if His Royal Highness wants to help Concubine Shu, why risk offending Prince Ning's palace?"
Xue Xiu questioned: "With Wang Ziqing testifying on behalf of the tenth princess, and secretly the Duke of Ji who was sent by your majesty to the tenth princess, Ji'an's plan will not succeed."
"If you don't want to offend Prince Ning's Mansion, is Uncle Wang willing to stand in my camp? No matter how much I try to please Prince Ning's Mansion, I can't win over the younger brother of the Qing Emperor who is fostered under Uncle Wang's knees. Why should I watch this happen? Is Ji'an disgusting with the little princess?"
The prince said to Xue Xiu: "My father should be very willing to see the harmony between me and my little sister, so just think that I have been bewitched by my sister!"
"In terms of my ability to confuse people's hearts, if I am not as good as the Emperor's sister, whoever dares to say anything wrong about the Emperor's sister in the court, even veteran ministers like Lord Yao and Jiang Shidu, will attack in groups even with their old faces. The Emperor It is reasonable for my sister to be liked by Aunt Yuzhen."
The prince took a long time to look away from Li Sixu, with a rather appreciative expression: "Today's plan was certainly based on Ji Anxin's arrogance and arrogance to frame the ten emperors' sisters, but among them were my mother-in-law and Prince Ning who were adding fuel to the fire. , Ten Emperor Sisters knew that what was in front of them was a trap, and if they were not careful, they might not be able to defend themselves, but they still dared to step into it."
The prince looked at Xue Xiu: "You and I saw it with our own eyes in the dark. In the face of Ji'an's attack, how did the imperial sister fight back with ease?"
"The tenth princess is indeed surprising. Even Chen Yin was worried about her in the dark, but she was able to fight back without fear in the face of danger. What she said in front of Prince Ning also shocked me. , as smooth and smooth as His Highness Prince Ning, was actually disgraced by a childish comment."
"That's right. Ji'an is several years older than the emperor's sister. The emperor's sister said that she doesn't want to be on the same level as her. One day, the emperor's sister will attack Ji'an. With today's promise, how can Uncle Wang be on the same level as the ten emperor's sisters?"
"If you go to the Father, Ji'an's skills are inferior to others!"
The prince hit the nail on the head and said: "It seems that the imperial sister took a step back and suffered a loss, but in fact she took the advantage. When my father learns about this, he will also think that the imperial sister is measured in her advances and retreats, magnanimous and sensible."
Xue Xiu was shocked: "The tenth princess asked His Highness Prince Ning to make a promise just to fight back one day?"
"If she doesn't fight back after suffering a loss, she is no longer my tenth emperor sister. After all, she is someone who even my mother and concubine dares to fight back."
The prince said with great interest: "Ji'an is indeed too annoying, just wait and see!"
