Wind and Rain Empire

In the Chunming Palace, Concubine Shu and Concubine De are leisurely leaning on the couch and sipping tea

Concubine Shu swiped the tea twice, put down the tea bowl, and looked at Concubine De

"Sister, do you think the medicine that Zi Zhaorong gave to the official family will work?"

Concubine De looked at Concubine Shu, and also put down the tea bowl

"Whether it works or not is another matter. Just saying that the officials favored both of us in this Spring Palace is already out of the question."

Concubine Shu frowned, thinking

"Yeah, the official family hasn't come to see us for a long time. It's just like seeing us now. I don't know what the concubines who haven't seen the official family for a long time will think."

Concubine De looked at Concubine Shu with a slightly contemptuous look.

"Hey, who cares what they think, being favored in the palace these days, it is a serious matter to be favored by the official family, and concubines who are not favored by the official family are all nonsense. You count on your toes, How many days have you not seen the official family?"

Concubine Shu raised her foot seriously, and she couldn't pull it up halfway, so she looked at Concubine De

"I can't pull it anymore, besides, I can't count my toes"

Concubine De rolled her eyes at Concubine Shu

"Hey, who told you to count it? You can figure it out just by doing the math! Ever since Concubine Chen was favored by the officials, we both fell out of the list of candidates for sleeping, and after Zi Zhaorong entered the palace, we didn't even Count on it. But who knows that the feng shui will turn around. In the 30 years of Hedong and the 30 years of Hexi, the most favored concubine Chen entered the Donghua Palace, and the noble concubine loved by the officials was also left out. This Zi Zhaorong pleases the officials. That's all, and dragged us sisters to follow along to get the benefits."

"That's why it's getting more and more strange when you say this. What is Zi Zhaorong trying to do? She is favored by the officials, so she can just give birth to a prince. Why do you still care about us?"

Concubine De reached out and hit Concubine Shu

"You're talking nonsense, she must have her own plans, otherwise what are we two ugly women doing?"

Concubine Shu hit Concubine De back

"Hey sister, you said that the ugly woman can just say you yourself, why do you say 'we'? I'm not ugly"

Defei sneered

"Yes, yes, if you were in Xuanzong's reign, you might be more likable than Yang Yuhuan."

At this time, a maid ran into the house and bowed to Concubine Shu and Concubine De

"Concubine Shu, Concubine De, Concubine Xian said that she wants to see you two"

Concubine Shu looked at the maid in confusion

"What does this mean? Is she already here or is she asking the two of us to go there?"

"Concubine Xian asked the two ladies to go to Xianfu Palace for questioning."

Concubine De waved her hand to the maid, signaling her to back down

"Understood, you go down first"

"Yes, ma'am"

The maid left after speaking

Concubine Shu frowned, grabbed the snacks on the small table in front of the bed and ate them

"Sister, what should I do? She must blame us."

Concubine De stopped Concubine Shu from eating, and glanced at her

"What? Are you really going? It's obvious that we are going to suffer. Can we hurry up? Besides, although she has longer qualifications in the palace than us, we are of the same rank. She is not a queen. Why is she an old calendar? She wants us to go there, why don’t you come by yourself if you want to see us? Leek for three pennies really takes herself seriously.”

"She has been banned by the government for a month, she wants to come"

Concubine De looked at Concubine Shu, and was so excited that she slapped the couch

"Then you can't go! Think about it, she has been at the top of the official blacklist for a long time, and now anyone who meets her will be black. We can't do such a thing to recruit black people for ourselves."

Concubine Shu was speechless for a while, thinking for a while

"Yes, what Sister Defei said is true (calling the maid) come here."

The maid greeted her, "What is your order, Concubine Shu?"

Concubine Shu ordered the maid

"Go and tell Concubine Xian that we still have something to do, so we won't go to her."

She turned to look at Concubine De, and asked

"Sister, do you think we can find an excuse not to go?"

"Then it's just that you have a bad stomach, she sure doesn't want you to occupy the toilet in her palace all day long, right?"

Concubine Shu looks at Concubine De in embarrassment

"Hey, can we get something else? How indecent does that sound!"

Concubine De didn't care too much and replied

"Why do you say you want to find an excuse not to care about indecency? I can't think of anything else, so you can figure it out yourself."

Concubine Shu looked at the maid

"Then... let's say Ben Gong has a bad stomach."

The maid looked up at Concubine De

"Then, what does Empress De Fei say here?"

Concubine De shook the round fan next to her hand

"Let's say that this palace was fainted by the stench from Concubine Shu's place, and I couldn't take care of myself."

Concubine Shu feels incredible

"Your excuse is too perfunctory, isn't it?"

"Hey! I'm just perfunctory for her, what's the matter? Can she come over and beat me? (To the maid) Just tell her that!"

The maid timidly replied

"Yes, the servant girl knows, let's go and spread the word."

After the maid left, Concubine Shu and Concubine De continued to chat and eat

Xianfu Palace Hall

Concubine Xian paced back and forth in the hall, her inner monologue

"When those two little sluts come over, how should I teach them a lesson? After all, we are of the same rank, and because of our status, I can't speak seriously."

Xia Yu walked to Concubine Xian's side, whispering

"Your Majesty, people from Concubine Shu's Palace are here"

"Call her in"

Xia Yu shook her head

"She refused to enter that palace, she just said that Concubine Shu and Concubine De are not coming."

Concubine Xian looks at Xia Yu

"Then you didn't ask her why Concubine Shu and Concubine De didn't come?"

Xia Yu replied very calmly.

"I asked, and it was said that Concubine Shu had a bad stomach, and Concubine De was fainted by the stench in Concubine Shu's palace, and she couldn't take care of herself anymore."

Concubine Xian sneered

"Dizzy from the stench? Can't take care of yourself? What kind of bad excuse is this, so perfunctory, it's simply lawless!"

"The maid also said that the concubine De concubine said that she was just being perfunctory. Concubine Xian, you have nothing to do, and you can't go over and beat her up."

Concubine Xian became distraught after hearing this, reached out and knocked the teacup on the table to the ground

"It's against them!"

Concubine Xian's eyes seemed to be shooting fire, she took several deep breaths, and it was not easy to hold back her temper

"Where is that maid now? Drag her in and give Ben Gong a good beating!"

Xia Yu hurriedly patted Concubine Xian on the back to cheer her up

"Your Majesty, please be safe and don't be impatient, this servant will go out to see if she is still there"

Seeing Xia Yu leave, Concubine Xian continued to pace, her inner monologue

"Two sluts, one is ugly and the other is fat, and they don't even look in the mirror to see what kind of bastard they are, dare to compete with me? Well, since you dare to be so perfunctory to me, when the ban on me is lifted, I need to show you some color, as well as that Zi Linglong who is allied with you!"

A vicious smile appeared on Concubine Xian's face

Xia Yu ran in and told Concubine Xian

"Your Majesty, the maid in Concubine Shu's palace has left."

"Forget it, even if she still knows, she walked quite fast. If she dares to stay a little longer, I will beat her ignorant little slut to death."

Zi Linglong was walking along the palace road with Hong Wan, and saw Princess Yongping walking in front with her maid

Ruby whispered

"Your Majesty, that person in front seems to be Princess Yongping."

Zi Linglong nodded

"Well, look, let's not disturb her, let's see where she is going and what she is going to do."

"Yes, ma'am"

Princess Yongping is holding a branch in her hand, walking while playing around, talking to herself

"Hey, after sister Xueyi left, there is nothing interesting in the palace. Going to sister Linglong's place is just to listen to songs and watch them play the piano. The palace is suffocated."

Maid asked

"Princess, didn't you like to go out of the palace to go to Prime Minister Zhang's house to play with his eldest son? Why don't you go now?"

Princess Yongping threw the branch away

"Don't mention that Prime Minister Zhang to me. He resigned from office and went back to his hometown. That idiot Zhang Tiancheng followed Sister Xueyi to serve as a soldier. They were having fun, leaving me alone in the palace to be bored."

The maid suggested

"Princess, let's have some fun then."

Princess Yongping looked at her puzzled

"What fun are you looking for?"

"The slave only knows that Zi Zhaorong is very knowledgeable, why don't we ask Zi Zhaorong?"

Princess Yongping thought about it

"Well, we have no other place to go anyway, so let's go find her"

The two turned their heads and walked back, just in time to bump into Zi Linglong and Hong Wan

Princess Yongping happily ran forward

"Sister Linglong, why are you here too?"

Zi Linglong smiled and greeted

"I, Hong Wan and I went to the imperial dining room to make steamed buns. I thought I was going to learn the craft, and I was just about to go back. How about you? Where are you going?"

Princess Yongping pouted

"This princess is really bored and idle, so I want to find you, sister Linglong, to see if you have any good things to play, and share with this princess."

Zi Linglong thought about it

"Well... there are some, but I don't know if the princess likes it or not"

"Oh, as long as there is something new, I want to see it quickly!"

Zi Linglong stretches out her hand to hold Yongping

"Princess, let's go now."

After saying that, the group of people left and went to Ziyun Pavilion

A group of people standing on the grass in the backyard of Ziyun Pavilion

Zi Linglong vs Princess Yongping

"Hong Wan made a few things before and put them in the yard. I haven't tested them yet. Princess, if you want to play with them, you can try them. In theory, they are all safe."

Princess Yongping's eyes widened

"What? Theoretically? What are you making? Dangerous? Thrilling?"

Zi Linglong laughed

"Well, almost? Princess, do you want to play?"

Princess Yongping clapped her hands happily

"This princess trusts you, Sister Linglong"

She took the cotton earplugs from Zi Linglong

"Huh? What is this for?"

Zi Linglong explained

"I'm afraid that the loud noise will hurt the princess, so make some protection and put them in your ears"

Princess Yongping said "Oh" and stuffed the cotton earplugs into her ears

Zi Linglong pointed forward with her finger

"Princess, go down to the tree ahead"

Princess Yongping looked at Zi Linglong's lips and took off her earplugs

"what?"

"I mean, princess, you go down to that tree ahead"

"Oh well!"

Princess Yongping puts her earplugs back on

Princess Yongping walked on the grass at her usual speed, and walked towards the big tree in front of her. The grass on both sides of the road was blasted, and there were four "bang bang bang bang" sounds, which scared her away. Getting up and hugging the big tree, Zi Linglong hurried over

Zi Linglong supported Princess Yongping and asked

"Princess, are you alright?"

Princess Yongping took off the earplugs

"Oh my god, I almost scared the princess to death, but it's really fun, loud and exciting, Sister Linglong, what is this?"

Zi Linglong shook her head

"I don't know what it is, Hong Wan made it, let her answer it."

Hong Wan walked forward slowly

"Back to the princess, this is a ground cannon made of gunpowder by slaves. I haven't thought of any elegant name yet, so I named it 'Di Huo' or 'Di Cannon'."

Princess Yongping looked at Hongwan in front of her and opened her eyes wide

"It turns out that you really did this. (Looking at Hong Wan) You should be about the same age as this princess, right? It's amazing that you can make such a thing. This princess wants to recommend you to my father."

Hong Wan bowed and saluted

"Slaves don't dare, it's just some tricks, the princess doesn't have to worry about it"

Princess Yongping pointed to the blasted grass

"So did you do anything else besides this?"

"Similar to the ground cannon, the servants also made a throwing version, which is placed in a thin iron shell, and after being thrown out, it will explode when it touches an object. However, the servants made this to play without hurting people. Maybe someone will Make more lethal ones to deal with Jinren."

Princess Yongping scratched her face

"Uh... besides these, are there other things that are not so hot?"

Hong Wan also felt a little embarrassed

"Yes, there is, but it's more complicated. I don't know if the princess likes it or not. It's a set of building blocks made by the slave girl herself."

Princess Yongping was even more surprised

"Really? Are building blocks still made by yourself? Isn't it just some wooden blocks?"

Zi Linglong shook her head and said with a smile

"Princess, go and see and you will know."
