This is about love.
But noisy is noisy.
Serious business still needed to be done, so after dinner, Su Changan took out the musket parts and briefly introduced them to the empress.
After hearing this, the empress looked at these parts in surprise, especially when she heard Su Changan asking her for gunpowder. After thinking for a while, she looked at Su Changan and shook her head: "How can I agree to you? After I gave me the blueprint that day, I asked someone to make it, but it exploded many times. Fortunately, the amount of gunpowder used was not large, so nothing happened, but I still hurt myself. It's so dangerous, I can't let you do this experiment."
Su Changan shook his head: "A trace amount of gunpowder will do, and I can do dangerous things? Oh, you don't know me."
The empress looked at Su Changan and thought he was being frivolous again. She rolled her eyes at him, then lowered her head to pick up a small part and looked at the drawing on the side.
She had just heard Su Changan say that this musket could be carried easily, and the drawing on it was longer and more detailed than the previous one.
Thinking about these days, people from the Shen Ce Palace came to report on the progress. The empress also knew that if the amount of gunpowder was controlled well, she would not be injured, but looking at the drawings.
The empress thought for a moment and said, "No, I can't give you gunpowder, but you can assemble it. Once you're sure it's foolproof, take it and ask me to find someone who specializes in making muskets and cannons to test it. If it succeeds, you can use it to modify the long musket. You don't know, the long musket is almost done, but the test is not completely successful yet, so it needs to be more refined."
"The craftsmen told me that the musket is a bit crude. If it is really used on the battlefield, it will be a bit cumbersome and can only be used once, so they want to modify it, but the modification process is a bit slow. If you give them this blueprint, there may be some progress. As for the cannon, they did make the shells, but some accidents occurred during the test, injuring many people, but fortunately no one was killed, so it is also making progress."
"Those people are too stubborn to dare to ask me to meet you who invented the musket and cannon. When you have assembled it, it will be a good opportunity for you to meet them. I have seen the cannon test before, and its power is much greater than you said."
Su Changan thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay. I'll assemble it first."
The empress nodded, but she saw the thin tubes and other things on the other side: "What are these?"
Su Changan said: "Distiller? Well, you can call it that, although it's crude. I use it to make perfume and other things."
However, after saying that, Su Changan immediately added: "I will definitely do it for you first, but I think you already have this scent on your body, and using perfume would be a bit superfluous."
The empress was about to say something when she heard this, but she changed her mind and her face immediately turned red: "How do you know I have a scent?"
But after asking this question, the empress felt even more embarrassed and secretly regretted it.
How can you ask such a shy question? !
Xia Fengxiang, are you crazy?
Su Changan said seriously: "We have hugged and kissed each other, how could I not know?"
The empress suddenly became even more shy, but after thinking for a moment, she just glared at Su Changan, then turned her head to look at the pile of strange things.
She did know about perfume, which was introduced from the Western Regions in the past one or two years. However, the smell was a bit unpleasant. After smelling it for a long time, she found it very tacky and strange. It was not as good as the sachets and perfume bags of Daxia.
But thinking that it was made by Su Changan, it shouldn't be that tacky, so he turned to look at Su Changan: "You said, I want the first bottle."
Su Changan nodded immediately, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "But maybe I need some flowers from the greenhouse."
The Empress said, "Why don't you just go get it?"
Su Changan smiled.
However, the empress stood up from the cushion, looked at Su Changan, and then looked at the roof in the central courtyard.
Su Changan sighed, wondering why he fell in love with climbing the roof.
It's so dangerous to dress like this.
But no matter what he thought, he still stood up and took the pot of wine next to him.
……
The two of them still sat side by side, and looking up, the moon was still as crystal clear.
The empress said: "Su Changan, can you please stop making me angry in the future?"
Hearing this, Su Changan, who had just taken a sip of wine, almost spit it out, and then looked at the empress in surprise.
But seeing the empress glaring at him, Su Changan nodded: "You are the empress, you have the final say."
Where can we find reason here?
The empress was a little proud, and then said: "Actually, the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner is not for you to do anything. There is something that needs you to go, but I can't tell you. It will be meaningless if I tell you."
Su Changan had actually just thought of it. After all, the empress had never allowed him to get involved in those things. But he had to go to a place full of temple officials, which obviously meant something was wrong.
The empress continued, "I dressed like this tonight just to show you, but there won't be a next time. This dress is a bit troublesome and cumbersome. I don't know what my mother was thinking when she made this dress for me."
Hearing this, Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then said, "To be honest, it's really beautiful."
The empress looked at Su Changan and said, "It's beautiful, but don't say it from the bottom of your heart next time."
Su Changan said: "If you don't say something like this, you won't be able to show how good-looking you are."
The Empress was so angry that she laughed: "Everyone says you have such great literary talent, but when it comes to me, there's not a single good word for you, right?"
Su Changan smiled and said, "The clouds resemble clothes and the flowers resemble beauty?"
The empress immediately said, "That's all you know, right?"
Su Changan immediately said, "I wrote this with you in mind."
Just as the empress was about to speak, Su Changan immediately said, "She is as graceful as a startled swan, as gentle as a swimming dragon. She is as glorious as an autumn chrysanthemum, and as luxuriant as a spring pine."
Hearing this
The empress was stunned for a moment, then she turned around with a smile, thought for a moment and asked, "Su Changan, why do you want to kiss me so much?"
Su Changan said without hesitation: "Ah, my shortcoming is that I just want to kiss the people I like."
The empress immediately said, "It's getting more and more disgusting. I'm going to give you goose bumps again tonight!"
Then, the empress thought for a moment and said, "Then kiss me if you want."
When she said this, the empress bit her lip lightly, turned her head away in shame, and did not dare to look at Su Changan.
But after thinking about it, he turned his head away.
Just as the empress turned her head, Su Changan kissed her.
She felt the softness of her lips again.
He also felt the tenderness of her lips.
Um.
Good.
The moon in the sky was now obscured by a cloud, with only a corner showing, as if it was peeking at the beautiful couple.
Chapter 89: My mouth gets itchy if I don’t kiss you for a day
Although the moon tonight is not the bright Mid-Autumn moon, it is exceptionally crystal clear, attracting many people to look up.
Same moon, different people looking at it.
Even the color of the moon was a little wrong.
When the Empress Dowager of the Xingqing Palace looked up, she might be thinking about whether Zhao Xiaojia, who was supported by her own strength in the Li family and supported by the late emperor in the early years, would be able to serve as the deputy guard of the Imperial Army. After sitting firmly on the side, she achieved the effect she wanted.
Perhaps, she laughed at herself for having to buy an official position from her brother, and she laughed at herself even more that the things that had been planned step by step were messed up by a fleeing village girl by accident, leading to the current situation.
……
Outside the Xingqing Palace, in a small courtyard, old Diao Si, with muddy hands, sat on the ground next to an old tree root, squinting at the moon in the sky, with a jar of old wine sealed in mud beside him.
He couldn't remember how many jars of this kind of wine were left in this small courtyard. He only remembered that when the wine was buried, the harem was managed by a very beautiful and gentle queen.
At that time, even looking at the moon in the sky, I felt that the moon was smiling.
At night, the palace was also filled with laughter, unlike today when everyone's hearts are cold and lonely.
……
Inside the Imperial College, Xun Kuang, a talented scholar who once surpassed his contemporaries in literary fame, was lying casually on the ground, still looking unkempt and untidy, looking at the moon in the sky, with a glass of wine beside him and humming a little song from the brothel.
Accompanying him was a female teacher from the Imperial College, she was good-looking, especially her hands were shining under the moonlight.
The two did not speak. Xun Kuang looked at the moon in the sky, thinking about the girl he met when he was young. He thought that he should not have studied at that time and became a farmer. Maybe he would have a son and a daughter now.
But then I thought again, if I didn't study, I wouldn't be able to get to know that girl.
Then I felt that I really shouldn’t study.
The woman looked at Xun Kuang and knew that he never had her in his eyes, but she still looked at him quietly.
Even though the whole nation's imperial court and the whole capital knew that she was infatuated with Xun Kuang, even Mu Xu once lamented that "no matter how great the principles in the books are, they can never make people who are in love understand the word 'let go'."
……
No one in the Su Mansion admired the moon.
However, in the small courtyard in the bamboo forest, Su Linhan sat in the bamboo forest, watching the breeze blowing through the bamboo leaves and listening to the rustling of the bamboo leaves.
On one side, Zhu Lin was holding the lamp, and shrank from the cold.
Su Linhan saw this and asked her to go back quickly, but Zhu Lin shook his head and insisted on staying with her.
In Yimei Courtyard, there was a little girl who was copying the calligraphy of her master Yuan Ruxi. Every time she finished copying a piece, she would think of how elegant her elder sister was and hum with pride.
But suddenly he realized that he didn't seem to have learned it well enough, so he smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and continued copying the calligraphy.
In the newly built stable, the little boy had just finished lifting the stone lock. He was so tired that he leaned against the stable and fell asleep, muttering, "If I don't become stronger, I won't be able to protect my sister."
……
There were tens of thousands of people in Luoan City, some were red-light districts, some were students who had come to the capital to prepare for the winter imperial examinations, some were peddlers, and some were high-ranking officials.
Under the bright moon, there are many people who look up at the bright moon.
There are many people who experience joy, sorrow, and emotion as they look at the moon hanging in the sky.
It is outside the Lingqi Pavilion in the palace.
Cat, who never cared about these troubles and whose mind was full of poisonous flowers, poisonous weeds and poisonous insects, sat on the carriage frame outside Lingqi Pavilion tonight, looking at the moon hanging in the sky and sighing.
But the people around, even Sun Shanggong, Yan Ruyu and others, were a little at a loss for words when they saw such a cat.
It's not that it's rare to see Mao Mao really sigh, but watching Mao Mao playing with the green snake in his hand, some don't know what to say.
Because, if Sun Shang Gong remembered correctly.
This snake seems to be poisonous?
