Great Tang princess

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuechen froze for a moment, then raised his hand and pinched her face with a smile.

"Why did Your Highness pinch me?" Shangguan Wan'er covered her cheeks with her hands and avoided it.

"I just didn't expect you to be so good at teasing." Li Yuechen smiled.

From childhood to adulthood, Shangguan Wan'er has always had a very quiet personality, just like a traditional classical beauty, she knows how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she has the temperament of a lady.

However, in fact, only Li Yuechen knew that she was a rather daring person.

Especially as he grows older, when talking to Li Yuechen, he has never been coy, and he has always said something.

As for writing letters to each other without seeing each other, that's even more open. In the correspondence between the two, what she said was much more nasty than Li Yuechen.

Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as 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 that kind of awkward person.

In the evening, the two were lying on the bed, chatting face to face while lying on their sides, and the atmosphere was extremely comfortable.

Compared with when she was a child, now Li Yuechen seldom tells her stories. It's not that she doesn't like to listen to it when she's older, but Li Yuechen has almost told her all the stories she knows.

Even these stories were recorded by Shangguan Wan'er and made into a collection of stories, which was kept in her office, and she would take it out to read when she had nothing to do.

Sometimes Li Yuechen couldn't help but wonder, if this collection of stories could be passed on for thousands of years, would it be as popular all over the world as collections of stories such as "Andersen's Fairy Tales" or "Arabian Nights".

If it is possible, maybe it can also have some influence 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 carefully, watch her expression carefully, as long as she has a little unwillingness, Li Yuechen will immediately deny it.

But unexpectedly, Shangguan Wan'er did not object, but nodded and replied: "Okay, I still think about explaining to His Highness when I have a chance 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 must also influence many people invisibly, right?"

Shangguan Wan'er was indeed just listening to stories when she was a child, but when she grows up, when she reads these stories, she can always find many interesting things in them.

The current Shangguan Wan'er is also willing to let more people see these stories. As long as she can influence enough people, there will surely be more followers of the princess in the future.

After listening to her explanation, Li Yuechen realized that for so many years, Shangguan Wan'er was not only doing superficial work, but also fulfilling her childhood vows behind her back.

She is really working hard to help Li Yuechen achieve what she wants to do!

Li Yuechen couldn't help but smiled, and directly hugged her in his arms: "Having you here really saves me a lot of energy, otherwise, I'm afraid I'd be ten times more tired than I am now!"…

Hearing this sentence, Shangguan Wan'er put her head on her chest and smiled: "Wan'er is not that capable, Your Highness is too famous."

Although he said so on his lips, he could tell from the smile on his face, and he was quite happy with 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 Household Affairs, and officially confirmed the construction of the School of Medicine.

Because buildings with more than three floors are not allowed to be built near the imperial palace, the final location of the medical school was selected next to the Yongtong gate, and the two squares of Liren and Yongtong were opened up to build this large-scale medical school.

This place is in the southeast direction of the Eastern Capital City, diagonally to the Imperial Palace, and the distance is far enough. Let alone a three-story building here, even if it is a four-story building, it is impossible to see the Imperial Palace.

After the plan was finalized, it was time for Li Yuechen to leave, but the children would continue to stay here until the end of the summer vacation.

It's only the end of June now, and there's still one month left for the summer vacation, so there's no need to go with her.

Early the next morning, Li Yuechen got up early, practiced yoga with Shangguan Wan'er and the others, and then rebelled casually, and set off for the Xuanwu Gate before dawn.

The airship was already waiting here, and 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.

The mother and daughter stood on the city wall, looking at the white belly rising from the sky, Wu Zetian expressed emotion: "Even now, being a mother still feels unreal."

"Aniang, you mean this airship?" Li Yuechen asked.

"Since ancient times, flying to the sky and escaping from the ground has always been a method of gods. I never dared to imagine that people can fly to the sky..."

Li Yuechen smiled and said: "My mother is surprised by this statement. It's easy to talk about it. Just dig it with a shovel, but it's really troublesome to fly into the sky."

"Go! Don't interrupt me!" Wu Zetian patted her on the shoulder, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

The original tone of emotion has also become a little helpless. This daughter has been able to change the atmosphere since she was a child, so that many times she wants to talk about serious topics, but she can't say it.

After chatting for a few words, seeing that the sun was gradually rising in the sky, Wu Zetian squinted his eyes and waved his hands: "Okay, the sky is already bright, let's go."

"Well, the baby is gone, and I will come back often to see it." Li Yuechen nodded with a smile, and then said to Shangguan Wan'er, "Wan'er, take good care of Mommy!"

Shangguan Wan'er agreed: "Don't worry, Your Highness."

"You girl, how can you take care of your mother?" Wu Zetian smiled.

"Yes, yes, mother, I don't need it, I understand!"

Li Yuechen agreed perfunctorily, then jumped off the city wall and led people into the airship.

After the hatch is closed, the airship is ready to take off.

Both Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er saw Li Yuechen, who entered, sit down on the chair by the window, and waved to them the moment the airship took off.

Both of them waved their hands and smiled as they watched her gradually fly up into the sky and leave slowly.

……

It wasn't until the airship disappeared from sight that Wu Zetian turned and left the city wall. …

On the way back to Jixian Temple, I was thinking about what to do today.

Because of her daughter's suggestion, after returning, Wu Zetian did not disband the cabinet formed during the trip, but let it continue.

So now a group of ministers headed by Di Renjie are very busy, and Wu Zetian himself is quite free most of the time.

Just spend an hour every day looking at the work report, and the other things are basically handled by the courtiers, and they don't feel busy at all.

Not only do I have time to exercise every day, but I even have more time to practice calligraphy, read books, play chess and gamble money, as comfortable as I want.

Speaking of entertainment, the newcomer Zhang Changzong's music level is really good, and he is also handsome. The performance made Wu Zetian feel quite good.

Like Pei Huaiyi, Zhang Changzong apparently entered the palace as the face of the emperor, so many people came to curry favor during this period.

Even the two brothers Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi who used to hang out with Pei Huaiyi every day were the same.

Of course, the relationship with Pei Huaiyi was not broken, and the two brothers played both sides clearly.

After all, no one dared to say that Pei Huaiyi would definitely fall out of favor because of this, and if he ignored him now, if he made a comeback in the future, the relationship would not be able to continue.

Although Wu Sansi now also serves in the Ministry of War, strictly speaking, he can be regarded as a princess, but he is still extremely afraid of Wu Zetian, his aunt.

In addition, I don't usually go close to the princess, so I naturally try to please the people around my aunt, hoping that they can say something nice for me from time to time, so as to avoid following in the footsteps of my own 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 understood what she meant, so Wu Sansi would not refuse gifts on weekdays, and would take care of what should be given, but at the same time, she would tell him to be obedient and stay out of trouble, or she would lose it!

Of course Wu Sansi understood that he was cautious in doing things, and there was no major mistake.

If you want to say that the only unhappy person at the moment is Pei Huaiyi.

Some time ago, I was having a good time in the White Horse Temple, but suddenly thought of a problem. The emperor has not asked him to go there for a while, so he must have forgotten him.

He himself knew very well that a favored minister like him depended entirely on the emperor for his life. Once he was forgotten by the emperor, the consequences would be quite serious, and those who had bullied him before would bully him in turn.

So without further ado, he immediately put on cassock and entered the palace, begging to see the emperor.

However, this request for an interview was rejected, and he was asked to go back to the White Horse Temple to stay, and he would naturally be called over when he was free.

Pei Huaiyi, who had doubts in his heart, immediately asked someone to find out the reason.

This matter was originally disclosed to him by Wu Zetian's order, so it sounded very smooth, and he knew it without any effort. Recently, the emperor found a new face, named Zhang Changzong.

In the next few days, Pei Huaiyi frantically inquired about Zhang Changzong's information, trying to find out why he was appreciated by the emperor. …

Under Shangguan Wan'er's suggestion, it only took three days to get all the information about Zhang Changzong thoroughly.

In the White Horse Temple, in the abbot's room, there was a cracking sound of "popping" from time to time, and the servant standing outside the door shrank his neck, not daring to make a 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 he was cursing. Anyway, he could hear the extreme anger.

As for Pei Huaiyi in the room, after throwing all the things that could be dropped, he sat on the bed panting for breath.

At the same time, I couldn't help but think in my heart, the damn Zhang Changzong came to grab the position of grandpa, really impatient!
His gritted teeth began to distort, as if he wished he could rush into the palace and kill him now.

But he still didn't do that in the end, how could the emperor's people kill them if they said they could kill them?
After calming down, he began to wonder what was wrong with him.

Thinking about it carefully, it should not be a problem in the court, after all, it was all ordered by the emperor, and it must have nothing to do with me.

Then the rest may be that the emperor feels tired.

After all, it is not difficult to see that Zhang Changzong not only looks handsome and has a good figure, but at least knows the rhythm, and can relieve the emperor's boredom when entering the palace.

But what about myself?He is not good at everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Apart from a good face and a good figure, he has nothing to boast about.

And speaking of figure... Pei Huaiyi couldn't help but raised his hand to touch the circle of fat on his stomach. The eight-pack abs from back then had long since disappeared.

Every time he entered the palace, those who didn't know thought he was serving the emperor, but in fact, he just ate and drank in Jixian Temple, and the emperor didn't talk to him, just went about his own business.

But it's not my fault, no matter what, the emperor can't abandon himself like this!

The more Pei Huaiyi thought about it, the more angry he became, but as a favorite minister, how dare he go to the emperor to talk about it?So he found an excuse to beat up a few servants, and then returned to the room to continue venting.

A trace of resentment flashed in the eyes of the servant who was beaten, and he sneaked out that night, and told the secret guard outside what happened here.

……

On the other side, after Li Yuechen returned to Qingdao, he devoted himself to his work.

Construction of the long warehouse with a vaulted roof structure has already begun. At that time, huge airships can be stored in it, sheltered from wind and rain, and it is more convenient for daily maintenance and the like.

On the other hand, the shipyard is still 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 returning, I heard good news and bad news.

The good news is that after several years of hard work, the glass greenhouse has been made, and it can be put into experiments this winter to see if it can grow out-of-season vegetables and fruits.

But when he saw the greenhouse that was less than 100 meters long and only 30 meters wide, Li Yuechen couldn't help but frowned.

This cost is really high. Even if the experiment is successful, the vegetables grown in this winter alone may not be enough to pay back the cost, so this stuff may be more suitable for growing melons and fruits than vegetables.

After all, fruits in winter are valuable, and those who can afford fruits in winter are either rich or expensive.

As for vegetables...the royal family can consider such a method to increase the production of some vegetables in winter. At least no matter how you say it, the production of this thing is much higher than that of hot spring vegetables.

As for the bad news...

A new batch of magnets was shipped from Anshan, with different sizes and shapes. After experiments by the Engineering Institute, it was found that none of them could meet Li Yuechen's standard.

It can only be said that most natural magnets do not seem to meet the requirements for making generators.

After getting this result, Li Yuechen sighed. It seems that he still has to find a way to make artificial magnets.

It just so happens that it is summer, and there is a lot of rain and thunder, so you can try it.
