Jingren Palace.

Empress Niu Gulu sat in the main hall, with mixed feelings in her chest, mixed with five flavors.All kinds of tastes filled my heart, unspeakably sour.

Seeing that it was time to lock the palace, but there were still no palace people outside Jingren Palace.

She sighed a long time: "Liu Zhi, please help Ben Gong to change and wash."

"Master? Wait a little longer!" Liu Zhi was a little hesitant. Today is the first fifteenth day that the master's empress has become the empress. How could the emperor not give the master this face to stay overnight in Jingren Palace?

"Master, why don't you send a little eunuch to Qianqing Palace to ask? Or is it that the emperor is too busy today so he forgot the date?" Madam Tang asked cautiously.

"Forget it, if the emperor really cares about this palace, how could he forget it? I'm afraid it's just that this palace is thinking too much." Empress Niu Gulu got up, her face was very calm and reserved, and she said coldly, "Let the palace people turn off the lights , get some rest earlier."

"……Yes!"

Nanny Tang felt very uncomfortable, and at this moment, she could only direct the people to get ready to rest in a dejected manner, and turned off the lights early. Empress Niu Gulu could only toss and turn on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

At this moment, there was a loud bang coming from outside the window, and the sound of rain hitting the window lattice.The coolness penetrated into the bedroom through the gaps in the window screens, making Queen Niu Gulu's mood even colder.

The emperor's back and forth made her both love and hate, resentment and joy...

The emotions in Queen Niu Gulu's eyes were chaotic and complicated, and it took a long time to close her eyes slowly.

"Master! Master!" Madam Tang rushed in regardless of etiquette, and quickly came to Queen Niu Gulu's bedside, and hurriedly shouted, "Mistress, get up quickly! The emperor is here!"

Queen Niu Gulu's eyes opened suddenly, she was overwhelmed with surprise, and her mind was in a daze, not knowing how to react.She looked out the window blankly, unable to control the joy in her words: "But, but is it still raining outside?"

"That's right! The emperor doesn't care about the rain, so he has to come over to see his majesty when he gets wet! Mistress, please get up and go!" Tang Nanny couldn't help but shouted out of the room, expecting to see the little palace maid However, who knew that it was the emperor who walked in.

Empress Niu Gulu didn't have time to rearrange her appearance, so she covered her face and let out an exclamation, her long hair was loose, and she was wearing an underwear to greet her.

"My concubine pays respects to the emperor." Queen Niu Gulu tugged on her inner garment, and saluted Kangxi anxiously.

"I'm sorry..." Kangxi stared at Queen Niu Gulu, but after a while, he apologized word by word, "I was wrong."

Empress Niu Colu's eyes turned red, tears fell uncontrollably, and then she felt a pair of big hands gently supporting her waist and pulling her forward, Kangxi didn't care that she was still wearing half-wet clothes He directly hugged Queen Niu Colu in his arms.

"Your Majesty..." Liang Jiugong outside was holding his clothes in and out.

The atmosphere in the room was just right, Mother Tang wouldn't let him disturb the empress and the empress, she dragged Liang Jiugong aside.

……

Early the next morning.

Queen Niu Gulu stood up first, even though her whole body was sore and unbearable, her heart was full of joy.She waved back the waiting palace servants, graciously woke up Kangxi herself, and prepared to wait for him to change his clothes and wash his hands.

Kangxi was not annoyed when he was woken up from his sleep, he just smiled and got up and took the queen's hands, and pulled her back to the bed amidst the queen's screams.

"Queen, I have Liang Jiugong to serve you, you better rest well!"

"Your Majesty, let me serve you as a concubine!" Empress Niu Gulu gave him an annoyed look, with a hint of joy and shyness in her eyes.

Seeing the queen's insistence, Kangxi sat on the side of the bed with a smile on his face, and let the queen serve him clumsily.

In the end, the queen reluctantly stood in front of the gate of Jingren Palace to watch Kangxi go to court.

Kangxi was quite surprised. Queen Niu Gulu had been in the palace for more than ten years, and it seemed that this was the first time he had seen her so shy and cute.As he walked in the corridor, he was still thinking about the last faint smile of Queen Niu Gulu.

This feeling... not bad!

Thinking of this, he was in high spirits, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he went up with a good mood.Liang Jiugong, who was following behind, smacked his lips—it seems that his attitude towards the master and empress should be more submissive!

After the morning court, in the East Nuan Pavilion.

Prince Yu Fuquan and Dai Zi arrived one after the other.The two were strangers to each other, and Dai Zi was introverted, and after bowing his hands slightly to salute, he huddled in the corner without saying a word.

Prince Yu Fuquan was quite interested in this person whose name was often heard by the emperor, especially when he saw that Dai Zi had four guards with him, and two of them even followed Dai Zi into the East Nuan Pavilion with brocade boxes in their hands. Curiosity grew stronger, and he stepped forward to ask curiously.

It's just that Dai Zi is really not good at words. Facing Fuquan's question, he only responded with the words "um, ah", and he had no intention of mentioning the brocade box that Fuquan referred to in his words.

Fuquan clicked his tongue, but had a new understanding of Dai Zi's boring personality.He still wanted to continue talking, when he heard the voices of the little eunuchs at the door.

Before the sound was finished, Kangxi had already lifted the curtain with one hand, and strode out from the second room in a big stride.

"Slave/subject kowtows to the emperor, the emperor is safe and blessed!" Fuquan and Dai Zi knelt down one after the other to pay their respects.

"Be flat!"

"How is the imitation gun?" Kangxi asked impatiently as soon as he sat down, looking directly at Dai Zi.

"The minister has completed as the emperor said and brought it today!"

The guard standing behind Dai Zi hurriedly handed the brocade box to the little eunuch with both hands, and watched the little eunuch pass it all the way to Liang Jiugong's hands, and finally landed on the imperial case.

Prince Yu took a step forward curiously, and after Kangxi gave him a cold glance, he walked directly to the imperial case with a shy face, watching Kangxi curiously open the brocade box presented.

Then the two of them took a breath of cold air at the same time.

A trace of excitement and longing flashed in Kangxi's eyes—as a man, who wouldn't like guns?He slowly picked up the gun in the brocade box, put it in his hand and stroked it carefully.

Prince Yu is a good fighter for many years. It is not that he has never seen a shotgun held by a Russian or a Dutchman, but he has never seen such a delicate and dazzling gun. He stared at it intently.

If it wasn't for the gun being placed on the emperor's case, otherwise he would have to carry it in his arms and take it away!

"Is this made by imitating the guns brought back by the boat from overseas?" Kangxi exclaimed, even with a hint of disbelief in his voice.You must know that the guns in front of him are very different from the guns brought back from overseas in appearance, and even to put it in a bad way, they are more like products of two eras.

This undoubtedly surprised Kangxi greatly!

"No, Your Majesty! I didn't make this gun according to the gun you gave me." Dai Zi shook his head and said eloquently, "I think the firecracker I made is much better than the gun you gave me! "

Immediately afterwards, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, although I don't know which envoy or ship company brought these guns back, these firecrackers are not the latest products of Western countries. I met you at the rich man's house in the south of the Yangtze River. Get a firecracker with a longer range, more precision, and more exquisiteness than what you handed over to me!"

"What did you say?" Kangxi and Prince Yu's expression changed at the same time.

"What I said is the truth!" Dai Zi said earnestly without flinching, "But the emperor can rest assured that the two models made by me are far better than the ones I have seen before!

The short gun on the left is light and compact and suitable for carrying around, while the gun on the right is heavy, but has high aiming accuracy and fast reloading speed, making it suitable for soldiers to carry as escorts. "

"...If it is going to be mass-produced, is there any problem with the process?"

Kangxi rubbed the bridge of his nose, and put aside Dai Zi's shocking words.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem at all!" Dai Zi heard the implication of Kangxi's words, and immediately replied without hesitation, "I have considered this problem during production, as long as the manpower is sufficient, there is absolutely no problem in mass production!"

"It's just... the gun/powder grinder that I'm using now is a tribute brought back from overseas, and there's only one. I don't dare to disassemble and rebuild it without authorization. If there is only one grinder, I'm afraid that the gun/powder will be damaged." The output can only rely on the old-fashioned grinding technology, and I am afraid that it will not be able to keep up with the mass production of ammunition."

In fact, Dai Zi wanted to ask where did this grinder come from?I'm afraid that the technology is far superior to that of the Qing Dynasty.It's just that he looked at the emperor's serious expression and swallowed the question into his stomach.

"I know. I will order someone to do this matter. As long as you are responsible for making all the guns and cannons without any problems, I will send Prince Yu to assist you in handling the matter."

Kangxi stared at Dai Zi closely, and said word by word: "Dai Zi, you must remember that you must quantify all the materials you use, and absolutely do not allow any guns to be lost to the people. If anyone dares to leak the drawings, Or attempt to steal, all shall be executed!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"By the way, apart from guns, how is the development of cannons going?" Kangxi carefully put the two guns back into the wooden box and switched the topic to another side.

"Your Majesty, the long-distance minister has already made two new cannons. I estimate that the power is huge. I am afraid that the unauthorized experiment will disturb the people in the city. It has not been tested in the suburbs yet." Dai Zi's face is full of seriousness.

"How do these... compare with the Western-style cannons that Nan Huairen mentioned?"

"Your Majesty, relying on my test, the newly-made cannon is far superior to the red-clothed cannon in terms of range and accuracy. The red-clothed cannon is already better than most Western-style cannons! So I think that the cannon made by me His cannon is absolutely invincible!" Dai Zi replied decisively without any hesitation.

Kangxi's body was slightly stiff, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Fuquan, I will send someone to transport the cannon to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing later, and compare it with the red cannon!

There are also guns that are carefully retested!I don't allow the firearms of the Qing Dynasty to lag behind the western countries, understand? "

"Yes, I obey the order!" Prince Yu nodded.
