Her Royal Highness The Princess From A Thousand Years Ago

Facts have proved that the most natural and simple things in modern society are so incomprehensible in front of ancient people.

It is rare for Shen Yanbing to feel the value of science and technology, and she is deeply grateful for modern life.

"This is a faucet. Move it to this side and break it open to get hot water, and the other side to get cold water. Be careful, you can't drink the water directly."

"Toothbrush, used to brush your teeth, keep it clean, brush it morning and evening. Squeeze the toothpaste on it, and I will show you."

"You don't need to worry about these bottles and cans for the time being. I'll talk about them later. Just remember the shower gel, shampoo and toothpaste."

……

Shen Yanbing introduced the big and small things in the bathroom, including the toilet, shower, bathtub, etc. Li Mingyue listened very carefully, and even recounted them in full.

"I have a good memory." Shen Yanbing praised, "The pajamas and new underwear are here. You can use this bath towel to dry your body after taking a shower, and then put them on as taught before, is that okay?"

Li Mingyue pursed her lips and nodded.

Shen Yanbing adjusted the water temperature of the shower and retreated.

She also had to temporarily tidy up the second bedroom.

Shen Yanbing's apartment is not too big, only the living room and balcony are more spacious, there is also a small kitchen that is not used very much, one master bedroom and one bedroom, and a small study room is separated between the two rooms.

The area of ​​the second bedroom is limited, and there is not much room for a wooden bunk bed. Fortunately, the bay window is bright enough to prevent it from appearing cramped.

At this moment, the lower bunk of the second bedroom is piled with a lot of clothes, and the upper bunk is covered with thick autumn and winter quilts.

The air conditioner in the second bedroom faced the upper bunk, Shen Yanbing struggled with the remote control, and sighed: "Let her sleep on the lower bunk."

It's midsummer now, and Bincheng is hot and humid. It's hard to imagine without turning on the air conditioner, but she's afraid that the ancients won't get used to it, and it would be too sinful if something happens.

After thinking about it, she still adjusted the temperature not too low, set the sleep state, and turned it off at regular intervals, then folded the clothes on the bottom bunk, and neatly stacked them back into the wardrobe of the master bedroom.

After finishing, Shen Yanbing half leaned on the back of the sofa, looking at the phone while waiting for the bathroom.

Look at the news... There must be some omens about time travel. The ones who went directly to her house were considered lucky, and there was nothing left to wear on the street.

"What am I thinking, can such a strange thing still go bad?" She laughed at herself.

The Internet is calm.

The bathroom door opened with a "click", and Li Mingyue popped her head out, avoiding Shen Yanbing's gaze, and walked out awkwardly.

The hot air made the little princess's face rosy and her skin quality excellent.

The light yellow cotton short-sleeved nightdress was light, and Li Mingyue hung her arms uncomfortably and drooped her head.

"It's pretty good." Shen Yanbing smiled, "Everyone wears it like this in modern times."

Li Mingyue raised her head slightly and whispered, "What about my clothes?"

"The washing machine definitely can't wash it." Shen Yanbing thought for a while, kept them well, and said, "Leave it alone, the fabrics and crafts from thousands of years ago may still be useful."

Her mother is a researcher on the ancient history of China. Although this has not been accumulated in history, it is also a craft and fabric from thousands of years ago, and its value is not small.

Her Royal Highness is obviously not used to being fully dressed, and she was still a little distracted when Shen Yanbing led her into the second bedroom.

"I sleep in the room behind the corridor, you sleep in the lower bunk, remember to cover the quilt."

Li Mingyue stared out of the window where the lanterns were lit up, and only let out a "huh" when she heard the words.

"What are these?" She couldn't help asking.

"Night scene, if you have a chance in the future, you can go out at night."

In the dark night, the colorful lights under the windows light up, the rain curtains are pattering, and occasionally there are office buildings with lights on. Looking down, the street lights in the community are dim, and the lights of cars in the distance pass by quickly in the wind and rain.

Li Mingyue approached the bay window, leaned on the grille of the safety window, looked down slightly, and quickly retracted her neck in fear.

Shen Yanbing drew the curtain of the bay window to cover up the light of the city at night.

"It's getting late, get ready to sleep." After Shen Yanbing finished speaking, she introduced the switch button of the light to her. Li Mingyue felt surprised, pressed it carefully, and turned it on and off as if playing, "It's amazing."

"It's much brighter than candles and palace lanterns I've ever seen."

Shen Yanbing helped her turn off the light.

Li Mingyue obediently lay back on the lower bunk, with the quilt covering her chest.

"When I wake up again, will all these disappear?" She stared at the wooden floor of the upper bunk, and asked softly when Shen Yanbing was about to close the door and leave.

Shen Yanbing paused, and said slowly: "No."

"Good night, Your Royal Highness."

Li Mingyue still remembered what the other party said, and whispered back: "You said that there is no princess now."

"Good night." Shen Yanbing smiled and repeated.

Li Mingyue probably understood the meaning of this word, learned to reply slowly: "Good night."

The rain outside was rustling.

The broken hometown dream is not a reality.

When Shen Yanbing got up early in the morning, the rain had stopped.

Li Mingyue woke up earlier than her, brushed her teeth less skillfully, and looked at herself in front of the mirror with a mouth full of white foam.

——She has never seen such a clear and bright mirror, and she has never looked at herself so carefully.

Until now, everything that has happened still seems like a dream.

Shen Yanbing leaned against the door to watch Her Royal Highness wash up, thinking about what to do next.

Li Mingyue turned to look at her, unable to do anything about her long hair, and combed it carefully with the comb handed over to her.

The long hair that hangs down to the waist is not easy to take care of, and Li Mingyue is a little bit disappointed without a servant.

Shen Yanbing said, "Do you want to cut your hair short?"

Li Mingyue turned her head and saw the shoulder-length short hair of the other party, and remembered the short hair of the woman on the screen yesterday, and frowned: "The body, hair and skin, are subject to parents, how dare they be so damaged?"

This is the most fluent sentence she has said since she came to modern times.

Shen Yanbing didn't explain, just smiled slightly: "You will gradually get used to modern times."

After finishing speaking, she still approached and helped Her Highness simply tie up her hair, and secured it with hairpins that the other party had never seen before.

"This is called a hairpin." Shen Yanbing demonstrated it to her, "Try it yourself next time."

Li Mingyue nodded, looking at herself in the mirror wearing light yellow thin clothes, revealing a large area of ​​skin.

Today is Sunday, and Shen Yanbing's college is at the end of her term, she is happy to take a leisurely time, take out a bag of frozen osmanthus cake from the refrigerator and steam it, as a simple breakfast.

Sitting on the wooden chair in front of the dining table, Li Mingyue was a little surprised to see the other party bring out a plate of pastries from the kitchen so quickly.

"I didn't see the stove." She said, and weighed the metal chopsticks curiously, "like the golden chopsticks I used."

"...This is stainless steel." Shen Yanbing smiled, "Try to see if you can hold it steadily."

Li Mingyue picked up a piece and took small bites, "It's delicious."

"Osmanthus cake." Shen Yanbing asked after explaining, "Does Jingchao have it?"

Her Royal Highness shook her head, "We have butter cherries and flower cakes."

"Well, then you may not be able to eat it in modern times." Shen Yanbing has never heard of any of them, "But there are more delicious ones, which will definitely satisfy you."

Li Mingyue finally smiled, revealing two lovely dimples, "Okay."

Shen Yanbing thought of something, got up and took a large box of milk from the refrigerator, unscrewed the lid and poured two glasses, "Try it, milk."

Li Mingyue touched the cold glass, looked at the milky white liquid, but didn't understand what it was.

Shen Yanbing took a sip first, she hesitated for a moment, and then took a sip.

"...What a strange smell." She looked up.

"tasty?"

Li Mingyue hesitated, but finally nodded.

Shen Yanbing laughed, and took the other party's cup, "If you don't like it, don't drink it."

She was also a little worried that the stomachs of ancient people couldn't stand milk.

"What's that big box?" Li Mingyue looked at it, and Shen Yanbing took out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and something to drink from it, just like witchcraft.

"Did you say the refrigerator?" Shen Yanbing opened it for her to see, "This is an electrical appliance for storing food. It can only be used if it is connected to the plug."

After finishing speaking, she asked Li Mingyue to reach into the refrigerator, "Is it cold? This is for keeping fresh, and the food won't go bad after a long time."

Li Mingyue chick nodded like pecking at rice, "Just like the cellar, I heard that the imperial dining room also has an ice room."

Shen Yanbing introduced vegetables, fruits that she had never seen before, and happy fat house water to her.

"If you want to eat, take it yourself, wash the fruit with clean water, understand?"

"clear."

Limingyue was a little happy.

A little later, Shen Yanbing, who was looking up the information, received a call from his mother.

"Is it on vacation? When will you come back from summer vacation?"

"There are still a few days left, and it's almost time to finish the papers." Shen Yanbing opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains in the living room, and the sun was shining after the rain, and the golden light shone all over the floor.

She glanced at Li Mingyue who was sitting in front of the coffee table flipping through a book, and answered the last question: "The time to go home is not sure yet."

"Why, accompany your girlfriend?"

Shen Yanbing paused, pretending to be relaxed and said, "It's already been divided."

There was silence for a few seconds before continuing: "Okay, I'll say it won't last long, you take care of yourself."

Shen Yanbing responded with a "hmm", chatted for a while, and suddenly asked: "I remember that your recent project is related to ancient costumes?"

Her mother is a professor of history at Shacheng University. Unlike her daughter, who almost failed to graduate with a Ph.D., she is a scholar who pursues academic ideals.

"Yeah, ancient costumes and hierarchies, why do you care about that? Find modern literature boring?"

"...I care about you." Shen Yanbing was silent. She was studying history as an undergraduate, but she lacked interest in learning. She turned to modern literature research under the Department of Chinese for her master's and doctoral degrees. After graduation, she entered an ordinary university to teach, writing while paddling write an essay.

When Li Mingyue heard "ancient times", she looked up at her, and Shen Yanbing leaned against the balcony guardrail and waved to her.

"Remember to come back during the summer vacation" was emphasized again on the phone.

"Okay." Shen Yanbing hung up the phone and looked at Her Royal Highness who walked to the French window on the balcony.

"Can you understand the book?" What she gave the other party was a book of appreciation and analysis of ancient poems published in modern times.

Li Mingyue nodded, then shook her head: "I can read some words."

It is not too difficult to recognize the simplified characters, but the meaning of these words makes her worry.

Horizontal typesetting does not conform to her reading habits, but the soft paper and neat typeface are quite to her liking.

Shen Yanbing didn't expect the other party to understand it right away, "Take your time, this is a simplified Chinese character, which is not too different from ancient Chinese characters. I'll buy you a few simplified and traditional Chinese dictionaries later, just get used to it."

The balcony was wet after the rain, as Shen Yanbing said, he simply wiped the wicker chair and round table with a dry towel, and moved the flower pot.

"There is no one I know." Li Mingyue said suddenly.
