The black-bellied lord, the first wife is mighty!

Shen Han burst into tears with excitement, and stood up abruptly: "Xing'er, your idea is really great! This time, it will be of great help to the Ministry of War! Armor and weapons can be further refined! Yes With sophisticated and advanced weapons, the war in the northwest can be ended a long time earlier! Now, you have made a great contribution! I will go to the palace to meet the Holy Majesty and report the great news to the Holy Majesty. By the way, for you Please do a great job!"

"It's all my credit." Xing'er quickly waved her hand and said modestly: "Speaking of which, it should be the result of joint research between me and that master smelter. This credit belongs to everyone! Among them, Xiaoyaohou also deserves a lot of credit." No, if he hadn't introduced me to those masters, I'm afraid that in another 20 years, I wouldn't be able to understand some of the key issues!"

Xu Youran put her fists to her lips, coughed lightly, and made a final decision: "Xing'er, don't be modest, this credit belongs to you! How about it, I will write a paper jointly with Mr. Zhen Guo, Propose a new smelting method to the Holy One, and strive to maximize the output of steel!" Looking at Shen Han again, he asked his opinion: "Duke Zhen, do you think this is good?"

"Thank you, Lord Hou!" Shen Han said sincerely.Regarding smelting technology, this issue is too sensitive, and it involves the manufacture of weapons and firearms. I don't know what the Holy One will think?If one is not done well, it is very likely that the head will be moved. Xu Youran took the initiative to book the booklet with him, which is undoubtedly a kind of help and protection for him.

Xu Youran smiled calmly: "My lord, you are being polite, this is what this Marquis should do!" For Xing'er, no matter what you want me to do, I will do it without hesitation.

Xing'er said again: "If you want to practice steel well, there is another very important problem, which is to find a kind of fuel called coal! This is a very crucial step, indispensable!"

"Coal? What kind of thing is that?" Xing'er often said novel words, and everyone was not surprised, but asked with interest.

Xing'er explained very seriously: "Coal is a solid combustible mineral that was gradually formed by ancient plants buried underground through complex biochemical and physical chemical changes. , and then transformed by geological processes after burial. Commonly known as coal."

Immediately afterwards, I explained to these "knowledge-hungry" people what "biochemical and physical chemical changes" and what "geological processes" are.What she said was dry mouthed, Xing'er couldn't help but secretly regret it, feeling like "shooting herself in the foot with a stone".Hey, be careful next time, don't say any novel words so easily, lest you have to go to great lengths to explain it.

Then, he talked for a long time, talking about the appearance and function of coal.He said everyone's heart warmly, and the crowd was excited.Xu Youran's brain suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and she interjected a sentence: "Girl, the matchmaker you mentioned, why does it sound like graphite to me? If it is graphite, I know where it is!"

Xing'er's eyes lit up, she slapped her head suddenly, and suddenly realized: "No, it is called graphite! Coal is also called graphite or coal! Ouch, Lord Xiaoyaohou, you really helped a lot!"

Several people couldn't help laughing heartily, and the happy laughter wafted in Xinghua Village, spreading far and far.Even the young men in brocade clothes who were fishing by the lotus pond couldn't help but be attracted by the laughter, and thought to themselves: What is the happy event for them in Xiaoyaohou?This laughter is too cheerful. Listening to Xiaoyaohou's laughter is so cheerful, how could he still be the famous cold-faced Lord Hou!

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Han and Xu Youran went to the palace together as expected, and went to the booklet.Yan Wuying slipped the three little apprentices away to the mountain, and started the devil-like training. They completely lost the kindness and talkativeness of the past, and they were fierce and terribly severe.The three of them complained incessantly, Myolie once thought that this master might have changed his soul and was taken over by time travellers.

For this reason, with two younger juniors, he inspected and peeped at the master very much.Use various methods to test and speculate until it is confirmed that Yan Wuying is a genuine local non-traversal non-rebirth person, then give up.So for a while, Yan Wuying felt that the three little apprentices were very weird, especially Xing'er.

In other words, the Holy Majesty saw Shen Han and Xu Youran's joint booklet, and he was both surprised and delighted: "Such a good thing, we have to arrange it quickly, and Shen Aiqing will be in charge of it, and Xu Aiqing will assist you! I will make a decree later. , You are going to gather skilled craftsmen from all over the country, and try to further improve the technology of smelting steel as much as possible! And, in the shortest possible time, create good weapons and armor, and the soldiers at the border are waiting to use them!"

Shen Han and Xu Youran hurriedly kowtowed: "My minister complies with the order, the emperor is wise, long live, long live, long live!"

An Junyi smiled and waved his hands: "Aiqing, please! Hahaha, I never thought that Princess Anran is so amazing, she is a great talent!"

Xu Youran brought up the matter of coal again, and An Junyi laughed even more happily: "Xu Aiqing will be in charge of the search for coal, and Princess Anran will assist you!".

Xu Youran said with a smile not afraid of death: "Then, Your Majesty, Princess Anran has made such a great contribution, is there any reward?"

An Junyi said generously: "If the smelting technology she said is indeed feasible, and the coal is really that good, then increase her fief area and make the entire Li County her fief! And send her two shadows , as well as ten guards, the grade is promoted by one rank, which is equivalent to going from the second rank!"

Ah, very good!From the second rank, it is much higher than that emerald princess!In the future, even Prince Jin would not dare to attack her lightly!Xu Youran was filled with joy, bowed respectfully, and said loudly: "On behalf of Princess Anran, thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

An Junyi smiled and remained silent.Hey, Fifth Junior Brother, you have to work harder!Now, you have another formidable enemy!No, you are already married, Princess Emerald is a big trouble!For no reason, I can't order you to divorce your wife or get divorced!Hey, what a trouble is, I was also in a daze back then, why did I agree to give you a marriage?

Thinking of Master Yan Wuying's complaints and scolding, An Junyi couldn't help but feel sorry for the fifth junior brother Shen Jie, and worried that the next time the master entered the palace, he would criticize him about Princess Emerald again.

Ouch, what I said is true, marrying a wife should marry a virtuous man!That emerald princess is indeed not a good match, and in the Duke's mansion, there is Mrs. Shen, an unreasonably partial old woman, and her several children with wicked intentions.If you can't reconcile and divorce your wife, Fifth Junior Brother will be ruined for the rest of his life!

An Junyi gave Shen Han a sympathetic look, sighed in his heart, and immediately rewarded Shen Han, Xu Youran and Xing'er with a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.Moreover, I specially said a few more words of encouragement to Shen Han, which was a reward and even a kind of comfort to him.

Alas, Lord Zhen Han, Shen Han, is also a poor man!

The two bowed to leave, and as soon as they walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the queen and an extremely gorgeously dressed woman, surrounded by many court ladies and eunuchs, came face to face.

"I have seen the empress empress, the empress is a thousand years old!"

Shen Han and Xu Youran hurriedly saluted and greeted each other with a respectful attitude, especially in front of the Holy One.The queen, Shen Qili, has a domineering temper, just like her biological grandmother, Mrs. Shen.An inappropriate word may bring disaster, even Shen Han, who is an uncle, and he is a noble man, would not dare to offend easily.

The so-called "it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain" is the truth.Playing off one's anger and offending the narrow-minded and cruel-hearted queen will bring endless disasters to one's relatives and family. It is really not advisable!Neither Shen Han nor Xu Youran are stupid, so they naturally know how to weigh the pros and cons and keep a sense of proportion.

Shen Qili glanced at Shen Han and Xu Youran coldly, and said with a sarcasm: "Oh, isn't this the Duke of Zhen and the Marquis of Xiaoyao? Why, didn't they say they went to the Zhuangzi of Princess Anran? They entered so soon. The palace is here, such a good place, are you willing to leave so soon?"

Ridiculous ridicule full of sarcasm.

Shen Han swallowed his anger, and replied in a deep voice: "Thank you for your concern, I am a minister, so naturally I have to enter the palace to share the worries of the Holy One!" Xi Shan shined.

Xu Youran said nothing, her eyes fell on the glazed tiles in the distance.Seeing the queen, saluting respectfully and greeting her is his biggest concession!It's not that he is arrogant, but that Shen Qili is stupid and vicious, which makes him really unable to respect her.Moreover, the Holy Spirit obviously hated her very much, and wanted to abolish the empress wholeheartedly.If it wasn't for Lord Zhen Guo and Shen Jie, she might have been abolished long ago!

It's a pity that this woman still didn't know it, and thought that she had done a great favor to Princess Emerald (at that time, it was Shen Qili who instigated the emperor to grant the marriage), and the Jin Palace became her help!It's so stupid that it can't be saved. Judging by Shen Jie's current attitude towards Princess Emerald, King Jin's intestines are probably already remorseful!He regretted marrying his beloved daughter like an eyeball to Shen Jie, who had no feelings for women at all. Her daughter might be a widow for the rest of her life!

There are rumors that the King of Jin once confided in his heart when he was drunk, saying that his daughter is so beautiful as a flower, and there are too many officials and children of rich and noble families who want to marry her!Whoever Emerald marries may be better than marrying Shen Jie!Although the rumors may not be true, they are groundless. In the face of such reality, it is very possible that King Jin will regret it!

Although Shen Qili is a queen, she is actually a short-sighted housewife without much knowledge.She secretly thought that even without the support of Shen Han and Shen Jie, she could still sit firmly in the back seat.She thought that Shen Jie had always been a little alienated from her, and would never help her sincerely, so why should she, who is the mother of a country, waste her energy on these lowly* lowly people?

She didn't even think about it, how did she, her parents and grandmother treat Shen Jie's family?And at the beginning, if there were no Zhen Guogong and Shen Jie, how could she have been selected as the crown prince and concubine, and after An Junyi ascended the throne, she became a queen again?Among them, there is the help of Duke Zhen's face and status, and there are also good words from Duke Zhen to the former emperor and queen mother.Otherwise, just because she is the daughter of a seventh-rank official, how can she be qualified to become a crown prince? !

People's hearts change people's hearts, this simple truth, even a three-year-old child can more or less understand it!If she was sincere to Shen Jie and Shen Han, no matter how bad the relationship between Shen Jie, Shen Han and Mrs. Shen was, Shen Jie and Shen Han would not stand idly by her.Shen Han and Shen Jie naturally understand the truth that one prospers and one loses all.

It's a pity that Shen Qili didn't realize it at all.

She sneered and scolded loudly: "Presumptuous! You two don't know how to bow down when you see Princess Rhett?!" This is a pun, because the two didn't bow down to her just now, So use this to ridicule and scold.

It stands to reason that Shen Han and Xu Youran didn't need to kneel down and salute when they saw the empress and concubines. This was the Holy Majesty's dispensation, and Shen Jie also had this honor.Under Shen Qili's rage, she might have forgotten about this.

The most important thing is that neither Shen Han nor Xu Youran have ever seen "Princess Rhett", so how can they know foresight that they are going to greet "Princess Rhett"?

Xu Youran has always been used to true temperament, and has never pretended to be polite when dealing with concubines in the harem.That is to say, he is a little special to the queen and concubine Shu, because these two women are "villains" and their status is a little special, so he will not easily offend them.Generally speaking, whenever they meet, they will respectfully salute and say hello.

But, is this "Princess Rhett" really Princess Rhett?Didn't Jia Zhongliang's people find her?Moreover, she has a very close relationship with Princess Emerald, and is also very close with the Queen and Empress Dowager Roushan.Could such a person be the simple, kind, and elegant princess in my impression?

Xu Youran expressed considerable doubts in her heart.

Hearing the words "Princess Rhett", Shen Han couldn't help trembling all over, and suddenly raised his head.Facing the face of "Princess Rhett", which was [-]% similar to the real Princess Rhett in the depths of my memory, I was shocked and angry, very shocked!

How likely is this person to be Princess Rhett? !

He had seen Xing'er's portrait of Chai Wuniang, and Chai Wuniang was at least [-]% similar to the Princess Rhett in his impression.Between the eyebrows, it is very similar to Queen Mother Roujia, very vivid!

No!The person in front of me is probably fake!

Out of great trust in Xing'er, and also out of a kind of intuition, Shen Han immediately made an accurate judgment: this person will definitely not be the real Princess Reed!The real Princess Reid may be Chai Wuniang!

Shen Han and Xu Youran had a tacit understanding. They looked at each other, and they both saw their disapproval of this "Princess Rhett" in each other's eyes.The two hurriedly bowed to "Princess Rhett" and left.

Both Shen Qili and "Princess Rhett" were furious at the same time!

"Princess Ruide" shouted first: "Where did the dog *slave* come from, who dared to refuse the three*kneeling*nine*kowtowing ceremony when he saw this princess, rebelling against *God*! Can't you be a thief?! Come on, pull me down, and beat me to death with *stick*! And, kill* the nine clans!"

The imperial guards cheered, and a large group of people came, at least thirty of them.Although Xu Youran's martial arts are strong, but two fists are no match for four hands, if he really wants to fight, he will definitely suffer a big loss!

Fortunately, when the imperial guards saw that it was Duke Zhen* and Marquis Xiaoyao, they knew the importance of these two people, so the leader of the guards was hesitant and did not dare to take action easily.Shen Qili yelled violently: "You dog*slave*, what are you still doing stupidly? Why don't you quickly take it down for me?! Don't worry, chaos* ministers* thieves, everyone* wins* and *punishes* Of!"

Only then did the little leader of the Imperial Guard forcefully wave his hands: "Go up to me, take the two of you down!" 30 people rushed forward, and after some fighting, both Shen Han and Xu Youran were tied up.

When the Holy Majesty arrived upon hearing the news, he suddenly had a splitting headache!

"Princess Rhett" is the imperial sister of his mother and compatriots, and she has saved his life several times to save him, and finally got it back. He absolutely does not allow anyone to disrespect her!However, the other party happened to be Shen Han and Xu Youran, these two were his right-hand men, and they were two of the few people he could trust with confidence.

"Sister Huang, Duke Zhen* and Marquis Xiaoyao don't have to bow down when they see the concubines in the harem. That's my will. Don't blame them for this matter, please calm your anger!" The point of pleading for mercy.

Princess Ruide said proudly: "My brother's words are wrong. This palace is not the harem *concubine. This palace is the sister of the royal brother's direct relative, and she is the eldest princess of Anlan country! They met with this palace Naturally, I have to kneel *nine* and kowtow three times. Treating me so slowly is equivalent to conspiracy to rebel! Killing *heads is a light thing! For me, I should punish *kill *jiu* clan!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like the nine-day thunder rolling in, shaking An Junyi, Shen Han and Xu Youran, all of them couldn't help being terrified!

Conspiracy? !She actually said that this is the crime of *rebellion*? !

The three couldn't help looking at each other.

These words coming out of "Princess Rhett" have a great deterrent effect, because in the eyes and heart of Empress Dowager Roujia, she regards "Princess Rhett" as an eyeball and cannot tolerate anyone Offend her in the slightest!Even the Empress Dowager Roushan was very protective of "Princess Rhett"!

If the Empress Dowager of the two palaces finds out, why not overturn the roof of the palace? !Even if Shen Han and Xu Youran could save their lives, they would have to suffer a lot. With a hundred bucks, they would definitely not be able to escape!

An Junyi was in distress, Mrs. Roujia heard the news and came here with someone!
