Chapter 190 Being a Nanny in the World of Palace Fighting 11
With the pot of jade peony in front, the gifts presented by the concubines behind seemed somewhat pale in comparison.
Coincidentally, in Zhu Yin’s eyes, it was the same.
She herself also knew a little about jade carving. The one presented by Wei Zhaoyi must be the masterpiece of some master, a combination of the right time, the right place and the right people. There would only be one or two such pieces in a lifetime, and it was the kind that she herself could never replicate.
Finally it’s the greedy girl’s turn… oh no, it’s the heroine’s turn.
Shen Yuying didn't do anything fancy and just walked over holding a wooden box.
The emperor still remembered their conversation not long ago and was very interested in the "surprise" she had prepared.
Shen Yuying was also very impatient.
After she finished her blessing in a proper manner, she reached out impatiently and opened the lid of the box without waiting for the emperor to ask any questions.
The emperor had good eyesight and saw a crossbow lying quietly inside.
He was stunned, and suddenly remembered what Hui Baolin had been talking about day and night for the past few months.
The concubines who were sitting on both sides and were closer also saw it.
They didn't know the crossbow, but they knew the bow.
Seeing that the emperor had a strange expression and didn't say anything, some people wondered, is His Majesty dissatisfied?
Shen Yuying didn't notice the emperor's expression. She was filled with her own masterpiece and started to show off: "Your Majesty, this is a new product made by me after combining the relevant records of the mechanical crossbow in the book and improving it."
She raised her hand to take out the crossbow and explain it, but the emperor stopped her in time: "Hui Baolin!"
The girl looked over with clear eyes, and the emperor said softly, "I like the birthday gift you presented. Wang Fu!"
Eunuch Wang understood and came over to hold the wooden box himself.
He walked so fast that sweat almost broke out on his forehead: Hui Baolin, little girl, you are the first one to take out such lethal weapons as bows and crossbows in front of His Majesty!
If His Majesty had not spoken in time, the secret guards would have taken action immediately.
Shen Yuying looked at his hurried figure and finally reacted belatedly.
She felt a little nervous for a rare moment, thinking that after she had obtained that immortal fate, her words and actions were indeed not as cautious as before.
Fortunately, the emperor did not intend to blame her. After a few words, he let her return to her seat.
But in the eyes of other concubines, they didn't notice anything else, but His Majesty actually asked Eunuch Wang Fu to personally receive Hui Baolin's birthday gift!
hateful!
Does Your Majesty like her so much?
Even Wei Zhaoyi did not have this honor!
Wei Zhaoyi noticed several gazes looking at her.
?
What do you mean?
She stared back at them one by one.
What a joke! The person her aunt and cousin like is the same person Wei Zhaoyi likes!
.
The palace banquet was over and everyone was staring at the imperial carriage.
Wherever Your Majesty goes tonight, it is not just to serve you in bed, but also to represent where Your Majesty's heart is.
The emperor understood their thoughts very well. In previous years, on this day, he usually rested alone in the Fengtian Hall. Occasionally, he would give favors to several princes and princesses and let them visit their mothers' palaces.
But tonight, he was in Fengtian Hall, looking at the crossbow for a long time. Finally, he couldn't hold back, so he took his things and went to Chaohui Hall.
He arrived a little late.
But the lights in Chaohui Palace were rarely turned off, and Hui Baolin had not yet washed up.
She was waiting for him with her hair and makeup done neatly, as if she was absolutely sure that he would come.
The emperor looked at the beauty under the bright moon, and suddenly an inexplicable throbbing and trembling arose in his heart.
He walked over and asked with a smile: "Why, are you waiting for me?"
Shen Yuying nodded.
The emperor deliberately asked, "If I don't come tonight, are you going to wait all night?"
"That won't happen." Shen Yuying said honestly, "Wait a little longer. If you don't come, I'll wash up and rest."
"But I think you will come."
The emperor paused and looked at him seriously: "Why?"
Shen Yuying thought without hesitation: "The night I made this crossbow, I was so excited that I almost couldn't sleep. I don't believe that His Majesty will remain indifferent when he sees it."
The emperor took a deep breath and suppressed the inexplicable throbbing and excitement: "You are right."
The lights were on in the yard. He couldn't wait to take the box from Wang Fu and put it on the table. "I have been looking at it for a long time. I can see some clues, but I don't understand them completely. Can you explain them to me?"
Shen Yuying has been waiting for this moment!
When she made this repeating crossbow, the first person she showed it to was Aunt Zhuyin.
Want to show off!
But one look!
Aunt Zhuyin just took a look!
She explained the weapon's principles, explosive power, lethality, and even its hidden shortcomings.
Shen Yuying was stunned.
She was puffed up like a balloon the moment before, but now she shrank into a ball like a quail.
Fortunately, Zhuyin quickly realized that she seemed to have done something wrong and suggested that she take the finished product to show the palace maids in Chaohui Palace.
Shen Yuying cheered up and called a few trustworthy palace servants in.
After a cup of tea, facing a few stupid faces that were clear and confused, she finally started shaking again.
Okay!
Not her problem.
Aunt Zhuyin is just too smart! After all, she is a practicing immortal!
However, the palace servants had never come into contact with such weapons before, so although they were shocked, there was nothing to brag about.
In order to prove its value and her worth, this crossbow must be approved by the emperor.
Shen Yuying picked up the crossbow and gave a detailed introduction: "I read the description in the book, constructed the blueprint myself, and gradually improved it. This is the eleventh version of the finished product..."
"This is a quiver. It can hold twenty arrows. There is a mechanism here that can be used to replace the quiver..."
"Currently, I can shoot twelve arrows in a row at most. However, there is still room for improvement. Give me some more time. I think I can shoot twenty arrows in a row."
"..."
This is something she made herself without sleep or food, and it's hard to stop talking about it.
The emperor was also fascinated by what he heard. After a while, he lowered his eyes to look at her.
Shen Yuying didn't notice the emperor's gaze at all. After giving a brief explanation, she installed the quiver herself, wanting to demonstrate it to the emperor.
Her face flushed with excitement, and her eyes sparkled with far more eagerness and pleasure than when she looked at him.
The emperor clearly realized that Hui Baolin didn't seem to like him as much as he had imagined.
On the other hand, he was inevitably attracted by Shen Yuying's expression.
Until Shen Yuying demonstrated her weapon herself.
The crude wooden man used as a target was shattered by the huge force, and it also shattered the romantic thoughts that had just emerged in his mind.
