Hearing these words, Li Yuechen was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and pinched her cheek with a smile.
"Your Highness, why did you pinch me?" Shangguan Wan'er covered her face with her hands to avoid it.
"I just didn't expect you to be so good at flirting." Li Yuechen smiled.
From childhood to adulthood, Shangguan Wan'er has always had a very quiet character, just like a traditional classical beauty. She knows how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has the temperament of a lady.
However, in fact, only Li Yuechen knew that she was a relatively bold person.
Especially as I grow older, I never act coy when talking to Li Yuechen, I always say what I mean.
As for writing letters to each other without meeting each other, that was extremely liberal. In the correspondence between the two of them, she said much more disgusting words than Li Yuechen.
Strictly speaking, he is a character who dares to love and hate.
This is more in line with Li Yuechen's preferences. In fact, she herself doesn't like those coy people.
At night, the two of them lay on the bed, lying on their sides and chatting face to face. The atmosphere was extremely comfortable.
Compared with when she was a child, Li Yuechen rarely tells her stories now. It's not that she doesn't like to listen to them as she gets older, but that Li Yuechen has almost finished telling her stories that she knows.
Even these stories were recorded by Shangguan Wan'er and turned into a collection of stories, which he put in his office and would be taken out to read whenever he had nothing to do.
Sometimes Li Yuechen couldn't help but wonder, if this collection of stories could be circulated for thousands of years, would it be as popular around the world as "Andersen's Fairy Tales" or "One Thousand and One Nights" and other story collections.
If possible, maybe it can have some impact invisibly?
Thinking of this, she suddenly asked: "Wan'er, how about publishing the stories I told you in books and selling them in bookstores?"
When asking, he was careful and looked at her expression carefully. As long as she had any unwillingness, Li Yuechen would immediately deny it.
But unexpectedly, Shangguan Wan'er did not object, but nodded and replied: "Okay, I still want to have the opportunity to explain to His Highness in the future."
"Oh? You have the same idea?"
Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "Well, these stories of Your Highness have certain educational significance. If they can be published in a book, they will surely influence many people invisibly, right?"
Shangguan Wan'er was indeed just listening to stories when she was a child, but when she grows up and reads these stories again, she can always find a lot of interesting things in them.
Now Shangguan Wan'er is willing to let more people see these stories. As long as they can influence enough people, more princess followers will appear in the future.
After listening to her explanation, Li Yuechen realized that it seemed that Shangguan Wan'er had been doing more than just superficial work for so many years, and she was also fulfilling her childhood oath behind the scenes.
She is really trying hard to help Li Yuechen achieve what she wants to do!
Li Yuechen couldn't help but smile and hugged her directly: "Having you here really saves me a lot of energy. Otherwise, I would be ten times more tired than I am now!"
Hearing these words, Shangguan Wan'er placed his head on her chest and smiled: "Wan'er is not that capable. Your Highness is too praiseworthy."
Although he said this, the smile on his face could be seen, and he still felt quite happy about this compliment.
"No, no, I know Wan'er's abilities very well!" Li Yuechen replied with a smile.
…
Three days later, the Academy of Engineering completed the docking with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and officially decided on the construction of the medical school.
Because buildings exceeding three floors are not allowed to be built near the palace, the final location of the medical school was next to Yongtong Gate, and the two buildings of Yongtong and Liren were connected to build this large-scale medical school.
This place is in the southeast direction of Dongdu City, diagonal to the Imperial Palace, and the distance is far enough. It is impossible to see the Imperial Palace even if it is built with four floors, let alone three floors.
After the plan was finalized, it was almost time for Li Yuechen to leave, but the children would continue to stay here until the summer vacation was over.
It's only the end of June now, and there's still a month left for summer vacation, so there's no need to go with her.
Early the next morning, Li Yuechen got up early and practiced yoga with Guan Wan'er and the others. Then he rebelled by eating casually and set out for Xuanwu Gate before dawn.
The airship was already waiting here. When they saw Li Yuechen coming, the staff saluted one after another.
Wu Zetian also got up early and came to Xuanwu Gate to see her off.
Mother and daughter stood on the city wall, looking at the white fish belly on the horizon. Wu Zetian said with emotion: "Even now, being a mother still feels unreal."
"Aniang, are you talking about this airship?" Li Yuechen asked.
"Since ancient times, flying into the sky and escaping from the earth has always been a method used by gods. I never dare to imagine that people can fly into the sky..."
Li Yuechen said with a smile: "I'm surprised by what I said. It's easy to escape to the ground. You just need to dig with a shovel. But flying into the sky is really troublesome."
"Go! Stop interrupting me!" Wu Zetian patted her on the shoulder and couldn't help but smile.
The originally emotional tone also turned into a little helpless. This daughter has been very good at changing the atmosphere since she was a child, so that many times she wants to talk about serious topics but cannot.
After chatting for a few words, seeing the sun gradually rising in the sky, Wu Zetian squinted her eyes and waved her hand: "Okay, the sky is already bright, let's go."
"Well, the child is gone, and he will come back often." Li Yuechen nodded with a smile, and then said to Shangguan Wan'er, "Wan'er, take good care of my mother-in-law!"
"You girl, how can you take care of me?" Wu Zetian smiled.
"Yes, yes, grandma doesn't need it, I understand!"
Li Yuechen agreed perfunctorily, then jumped off the city wall and led the people into the airship.
After the hatch is closed, the airship prepares to take off.
Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er both saw Li Yuechen sitting on the chair next to the window after entering, and waved to them the moment the airship took off.
They both waved and smiled as they watched her gradually fly high into the sky and slowly leave.
…
It wasn't until the airship disappeared from sight that Wu Zetian turned around and left the city wall.
On the way back to Jixian Palace, I was thinking about what would be better to do today.
Because of her daughter's suggestion, Wu Zetian did not dissolve the cabinet she formed while traveling after she returned, but allowed it to continue.
So now, a group of ministers headed by Di Renjie are very busy, while Wu Zetian herself is quite leisurely most of the time.
You only need to spend an hour every day to read the work report, and other matters are basically handled by the ministers, so you don't feel busy at all.
Not only do I have time to exercise every day, I even have more time to practice calligraphy, read books, play chess and gamble for money. I am as comfortable as I want.
Speaking of entertainment, Zhang Changzong, who was new to the palace, was really good at music and handsome, and his performance made Wu Zetian feel quite good.
Like Pei Huaiyi, Zhang Changzong also entered the palace ostensibly as the emperor's face, so many people came to fawn over him during this period.
Even the two brothers Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi who used to hang out with Pei Huaiyi every day were like this.
Of course, the relationship with Pei Huaiyi has not been severed. The two brothers have clearly played both sides.
After all, no one dares to say that Pei Huaiyi must have fallen out of favor because of this. If he ignores him now, if he makes a comeback in the future, the relationship will not be able to continue.
Although Wu Sansi now also serves in the Ministry of War and is technically considered a princess, she is still extremely afraid of Wu Zetian, her aunt.
In addition, he was not very close to the princess at ordinary times, so he naturally wanted to try his best to please the people around his aunt, hoping that they would say a few good words for him from time to time, so as to avoid following in the footsteps of his biological father.
Including Shangguan Wan'er, she often receives various gifts from Wu Sansi.
Wu Zetian was also aware of this matter, and just told Shangguan Wan'er that she could take care of small things, but she must not condone big things.
Shangguan Wan'er naturally understands what she means, so she doesn't refuse gifts from Wu Sansi on weekdays, and gives him the care he deserves, but at the same time, she tells him to be obedient and don't cause trouble, otherwise he won't be able to keep it!
Of course Wu Sansi understood and acted cautiously, and nothing serious happened.
The only one who is unhappy right now is Pei Huaiyi.
Some time ago, I was having a good time at the White Horse Temple, but suddenly I thought of a problem. The emperor had not asked him to go there for a while, so he must have forgotten about him.
He knew very well that a favored minister like him depended entirely on the emperor for his survival. Once he was forgotten by the emperor, the consequences would be quite serious. At that time, people who had bullied him before would bully him in turn.
So without saying a word, he immediately put on his cassock and entered the palace, asking to see the emperor.
However, this request was rejected and he was told to go back to White Horse Temple to stay. He would be called over when he was free.
Pei Huaiyi, who was suspicious, immediately asked someone to find out the reason.
This matter was originally revealed to him by Wu Zetian's order, so the inquiry sounded particularly smooth, and he found out without any effort that the emperor had recently found a new face-to-face chief named Zhang Changzong.
In the next few days, Pei Huaiyi frantically inquired about Zhang Changzong's information, trying to figure out why he gained the emperor's appreciation.
Under Shangguan Wan'er's instructions, it only took three days to get all the information about Zhang Changzong.
In the White Horse Temple, in the abbot's room, one or two crackling sounds could be heard from time to time. The slave standing outside the door shrank his neck, not daring to make any sound.
After the abbot came back today, he locked himself in the room and started throwing things. From time to time, he could hear two roars, and he didn't know what they were yelling at. Anyway, he could hear that he was extremely angry.
Pei Huaiyi in the room, after throwing all the things he could throw, sat on the bed panting and panting.
At the same time, I couldn't help but think about, damn Zhang Changzong, he came here to steal my grandfather's position. I was really impatient!
His expression began to twist as he gritted his teeth, as if he wished he could rush into the palace and kill him quickly.
But he didn't do it in the end. How could the emperor's people be killed just by asking?
After calming down, he began to wonder what he had done wrong.
If you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be a problem in the court. After all, it was all done under the emperor's instructions and it must have nothing to do with you.
Then the rest may be that the emperor got tired of it.
After all, it is not difficult to see that Zhang Changzong is not only handsome and has a good figure, but at least he also understands music. He can also relieve the emperor's boredom when he enters the palace.
But what about me? I am not good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting. Apart from my face and good figure, I have nothing to boast about.
And speaking of body shape... Pei Huaiyi couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the circle of fat that appeared on his belly. The eight-pack abs he had back then had long since disappeared.
Every time he entered the palace, he thought he was serving the emperor, but in fact, he was simply eating and drinking in the Jixian Palace. The emperor did not talk to him and just went about his own business.
But this is not his fault. No matter what, the emperor cannot abandon himself like this!
The more Pei Huaiyi thought about it, the angrier he became, but as a favorite, he still dared to ask the emperor for an explanation? So he found an excuse to beat several slaves, and then returned to the room to continue venting.
A look of resentment flashed in the eyes of the beaten slave, and he secretly went out that night and told the secret guards outside what was going on.
…
On the other hand, after Li Yuechen returned to Qingdao, he devoted himself to his work.
The construction of a long warehouse with a vaulted structure has already begun, and the huge airship can be stored in it to protect it from wind and rain, and make daily maintenance more convenient.
The shipyard is as usual, building the second large ship at a normal pace. According to current calculations, it is estimated that it will take more than a year to complete.
But after I came back, I heard some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that after several years of hard work, the glass greenhouse has been produced and can be put into experiments this winter to see if it is possible to grow off-season vegetables and fruits.
But when he saw the greenhouse, which was less than a hundred meters long and only thirty meters wide, Li Yuechen couldn't help but frown.
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】
The cost is really high. Even if the experiment is successful, the vegetables grown this winter alone may not be enough to recoup the cost, so this thing may be more suitable for growing melons and fruits than vegetables.
After all, winter fruits are valuable, and those who can afford to eat fruits in winter are either rich or expensive.
As for vegetables... the royal family could consider this method to expand the output of some winter vegetables. At least, the output of this thing is much higher than that of vegetables grown in hot springs.
As for the bad news…
A new batch of magnets were shipped from Anshan, with different sizes and shapes. After experiments at the Engineering Academy, they found that none of them could meet Li Yuechen's standards.
It can only be said that most natural magnets do not seem to meet the requirements for making generators.
Li Yuechen sighed after getting this result. It seemed that he still had to find a way to make artificial magnets.
It happens to be summer now, with a lot of rain and thunder, so I might as well give it a try.
