The officials were silent. Everyone was used to it. As long as these two were present, no matter what they talked about, they would exchange a few words with each other.
I don't know who whispered in a low voice: "It is said that the Chinese girl has three heads and six arms, and is very ugly and terrifying."
Someone else answered: "The ability to create such vicious things is enough to show that this woman is different from ordinary people, and her appearance is naturally different from ordinary people..."
These people started talking one after another, "Will it look like the Thunder God and the Lightning Mother?"
"That's too scary! Who dares to marry me?!..."
Someone secretly took a look at King Ning.
Prince Ning's face was gloomy and he said nothing.
However, everyone felt that this was just Prince Ning's pretense. If he married Hua Qingxue, it would be equivalent to possessing those weapon-making artifacts. Who wouldn't be greedy
Li Jingnan was sitting in the upper seat. Although he heard the buzzing of the people below, he could not hear the specific content of the discussion.
He didn't care, anyway, the purpose of today was not really to grant Hua Qingxue a marriage.
Li Jingnan glanced helplessly at Prime Minister Zuo, this old man... Every time things went, he would suddenly turn in a strange direction.
"Although my father has passed away, I still remember the holy will and dare not forget it. Since the weapon of the country is destined to be in our country, it should be kept." Li Jingnan coughed twice and said seriously, "I have decided to give Hua Qingxue a villa in the Villa. , for the purpose of settling down, and also as a wife of a military officer, who specializes in weapons manufacturing, and can supervise the weapons, what do you think?"
This is the second time.
Li Jingnan mentioned granting Hua Qingxue a title for the second time.
Last time he was refuted mercilessly by the ministers, so this time he deliberately made these arrangements and even moved out of the late emperor, just to silence these guys!
Although Li Jingnan felt that he had no plan this time, he had been frustrated so many times in front of these old ministers that he had a serious psychological shadow. Now he is worried...
Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Zuo was the first to respond!
The old man's voice was loud and loud, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, with the title, this woman will have a higher status, and she will be able to avoid criticism in the future if she is given a marriage."
The corners of Li Jingnan's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Why does this old man always think about granting a marriage? Do all older people like matchmaking so much
His eyes moved to Emperor Uncle Li Qian.
Prince Ning looked indifferent, showing no emotion or anger. When he saw Li Jingnan looking at him, he said calmly: "This weapon is extremely powerful. Miss Hua deserves to be rewarded. I have no objections to this."
The two giants both spoke, and the other ministers below agreed, but no one objected.
The sun is really coming out in the west!
Li Jingnan tried hard to restrain the upturned corners of his mouth, and kept a serious look on his face, but he was already happy in his heart!
I thought: It turns out that being an emperor is not that difficult!
When he was in a good mood, he felt comfortable all over, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, dear friends. Everyone will be rewarded today!"
Everyone is confused, is there a reward
Reward money? But isn’t the national treasury in short supply
At this time, I saw several father-in-laws starting to distribute gifts -
They are handmade soaps stacked together, wrapped in kraft paper with gold powder, neat and square.
The person who got it first opened the outer layer of kraft paper and saw the soap inside, which was delicate and smooth. There was a delicate snowflake engraved on the surface, but he didn't know what it was.
Li Jingnan spared no effort to advertise for Hua Qingxue: "This is called soap. It cleans and moisturizes. It is better than soap soap. It was also created by Mrs. Si Bing. You might as well try it when you go back!"
Everyone looked at each other, feeling weird.
The emperor is in Shengjing, why is he always full of praise for that Chinese girl from the north? Although the weapon was indeed extremely powerful, the emperor's tone... was it too familiar
It's really strange...
Everyone thought of the memorial that Fu Tingye originally sent to Hua Qingxue, and couldn't help but start various conspiracy theories... Maybe this was Fu Tingye's intention. The emperor's various actions today may have been all inspired by Fu Tingye!
Li Jingnan ascended the throne and Fu Tingye was crowned king. The two people must have reached some kind of agreement, and everyone knew it. So when Li Jingnan praised Hua Qingxue, the ministers naturally thought that he was praising Fu Tingye.
Li Jingnan didn't know that his ministers regarded him as Fu Tingye's puppet. He just felt that he had achieved his wish and sent out gifts, feeling very happy.
The palace guard of honor set off back to the palace, and the little emperor left with satisfaction.
Prince Ning watched with cold eyes as the emperor's honor guard slowly left.
An official approached him and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what do you think about this matter..."
"What, are you scared?" Li Qian didn't look at him, still looking into the distance.
The official's expression was stern and a little embarrassed, "That weapon is really powerful. I am just worried that the emperor insists on granting a title to that Chinese girl. Is there any hidden secret..."
Li Qian sneered, "She's just a soldier's wife. She has rank but no official position. What are you afraid of? It's just Fu Tingye's deception."
When the official heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, "Your Majesty, do you think this is unusual?"
"Otherwise?" Li Qian turned his head and looked at Yuqing Mountain in the distance with an unpredictable expression, "Ha... who would believe a girl's home-made weapons? She can only deceive the baby. Fu Tingye is playing tricks on her. , the person who truly possesses such uncanny craftsmanship must have been hidden by him, and this so-called wife of the commander is probably just used to coax the emperor."
Li Qian's thoughts are also the thoughts of most people.
A person with such ability must not only be familiar with machine armor, but also know how to smelt it. He cannot be a young girl.
There must be someone wise behind Hua Qingxue!
"Your Majesty is smart, but even in his humble position, he thinks this is weird." The official immediately flattered him, "This Fu Tingye is really hateful! He deceived the Emperor by deceiving him when he was young and ignorant. Fortunately, we in the Great Qi Dynasty still have such a talented person as Wang Ye, otherwise everything would be terrible. Qi Jiangshan is in danger!"
This flattery was probably too naive and lacked technical content. Li Qian frowned slightly.
The official asked: "Your Majesty, Fu Tingye is unscrupulously expanding his troops in the north. We have to be on guard. Should we take this opportunity... to expose him?"
Exposed
How to expose it? The north is Fu Tingye's territory. Even if he sends people there, it will be difficult for his power to work. What's more, the new weapons are a sure thing. Even if he brought down the so-called Si Bing's wife, Fu Tingye was not harmed! At most, he would be charged with knowing the crime but not reporting it, which is not painful at all.
Li Qian thought of Fu Tingye, his close friend, and frowned, saying coldly: "No need."
After that, he got on the carriage indifferently.
He doesn't like petty provocations. He either stays dormant or hits him with one blow! He would not act rashly if he was not 100% sure of tearing off a layer of flesh and blood from the opponent.
Because he was too close to that location.
Because it is too close, no matter what you do, it will easily become a reason for criticism.
He must be more cautious and more... conceal his strength...
…
The little emperor took the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China to the wilderness to watch the mountain explosion at night. They gave him a house, a title, and finally gave him gifts in a good mood.
This matter soon reached the ears of the Queen Mother.
"He is so restless." Zheng Shuwen was sitting at the table. She was holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand. She was twirling her thumbs quickly because she was upset.
The palace maid looked at her face and carefully replied: "Don't worry, I heard that Prime Minister Zuo strongly approved of this."
After a pause, she added: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning seems to have no objection."
"But in the end, Fu Tingye was proud of it!" Zheng Shuwen bit her lip, with annoyance in her eyes. Her mood did not improve because of the palace maid's consolation. "Fu Tingye wanted to apply for the title, and the emperor helped him to apply for the woman again and again. Feng, even at the expense of offending the court officials! Fu Tingye must be very proud! He must think that both the Ai family and the emperor are in his hands! He can do whatever he wants!"
The palace maid was silent and stopped talking.
She wanted to say that the emperor seemed quite happy... I heard that the emperor even personally checked the picture album of the house that was awarded to him, and he obviously valued the Chinese girl very much.
But seeing the gloomy expression on the Queen Mother's face, the maid did not dare to say anything.
The Queen Mother was extremely irritable and suddenly reached out and patted the table! "The wife of the commander is obviously a disaster!"
"Sneeze!" Hua Qingxue sneezed suddenly.
She touched her nose and thought, could it be that she was wearing too little and caught a cold? Otherwise, why are you sneezing on this hot day
"Maybe someone missed me." She murmured to herself while holding the watermelon and eating it.
There was a knock on the door outside.
Hua Qingxue put down the watermelon and was about to go out and open the door. Suddenly she remembered Fu Tingye's instructions and her steps froze.
... Well, you have to do as the Romans do.
Fortunately, there was ice brought by Zhao Sheng in the room, which was very cool. Even if he put on a long-sleeved skirt, it would not be too hot.
Hua Qingxue put on a long-sleeved blouse with tightly overlapping collars, tied a soft silk belt, and was sweating again...
Long story short for those who wish to come, she really can't last long.
Hua Qingxue endured the heat and walked to the yard, feeling that she was about to be melted by the sun.
"Master, it's me, open the door!" The people outside didn't hear the sound for a long time and patted the door panel again.
The person coming from outside was Liang Wensheng. After witnessing the power of Thunder Thunder not long ago, he shamelessly insisted on becoming Hua Qingxue's apprentice.
Hua Qingxue was reluctant at first, not because she was afraid that the formula would be leaked, but because she was really not used to the excessive hierarchical relationship between masters and apprentices in ancient times, but Liang Wensheng was very insistent, and she really lacked helpers, so she could trust Liang Wensheng. As a human being, I agreed.
She quickly opened the door to the courtyard. Outside, Liang Wensheng's face was covered in sweat. Because it was too hot, his sleeves were rolled up high, his collar was wide open, and his trouser legs were rolled up. Hua Qingxue looked extremely envious.
She also wants to roll up her sleeves and lift her trouser legs...
"Master!" Liang Wensheng laughed as soon as he saw her, "The glassmakers are here, and I have already placed them in the firearms camp!"
Firearms built many row houses specifically for craftsmen to rest, and there was no shortage of accommodation.
Hua Qingxue's face showed joy, "Great, just wait for me, I'll pack up and go over with you to take a look!"
When a glassmaker comes, you can make glass! With glass, you can make a still! With a still, most materials can be purified! With the purified materials...she can become invincible!
Her tech tree is about to light up!
