The Empress's Special Favor: The Prime Minister and His Excellency are Offenders

Chapter 24
Concubine Zhu was dressed in the clothes of an eunuch. After all, the whole world knew that she was going to bed tonight. If she was bumped into, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. She believed that the emperor would not blame her, but it was hard for others to say up,
"Old Gao, where are we going to play?" Concubine Zhu asked excitedly when she saw Gao Jingying,

Gao Jingying is the name of Mrs. Gao of the Sishangyuan. The two met at the concubine selection banquet. They hit it off right away. Later, when Concubine Zhu felt boring, Gao Jingying took her out of the palace to play.

"Of course I'm leaving the palace, let's go!" Gao Jingying was in front, and Concubine Zhu followed her two steps away, like a professional eunuch,
The soldiers guarding the gate of the palace had known Mr. Gao's servant for a long time, so they let him go without interrogating him.
Gao Jingying and Concubine Zhu found an inn to open a room, changed into ordinary women's clothes, and then went to play on the street.

Wudu is very lively at night, and the streets are brightly lit. Mo Qingling ordered all the streets to install "street lights". Most of the street lights are camphor trees that are trimmed regularly. The three big artificial luminous pearls are street lamps, and the lighting effect is very good. In addition, the stalls will also hang a lot of decorative lights or fluorescent decorations. The colorful lights are very beautiful.

The night market has just begun,
Gao Jingying and Concubine Zhu ate and played together,

Small vendors lined up in front of their stalls in an orderly manner. Most of the streets were young people. The law and order in Wu Kingdom was very good, and women would go out at night, so the two women, Gao Jingying and Concubine Zhu, were not very obtrusive.

From time to time, men will come to strike up a conversation, but they will not be angry if they are rejected, let alone stalking. Most of the young people in Wudu are well-bred,

On the street, men and women walked together, chatting and laughing, Concubine Zhu heard a lot of things about Wu Kingdom, which were very fresh, which were not found in Xihai Kingdom, and Xihai Kingdom also did not allow women to show their heads in public, so it is impossible for such a group of people to hang out on the street imagination,
"No matter how many times I see it with my own eyes, I feel that the emperor is too powerful to govern such a good country," Concubine Zhu sighed,

"Yeah, the current emperor is really powerful," Gao Jingying was deeply moved. She can be an official like a man, and she doesn't need to get married without being blindsided. Speaking of it, it is a civilized and open country under the emperor's governance the benefits of,
"Hey? What's that?" Concubine Zhu pointed to something that a group of people were pedaling forward.
"It's called a 'bicycle'. The design blueprint drawn by the emperor is finished by the Research Institute. Our Commercial Institute is responsible for selling it, and it also sells it to neighboring countries. Now it is very popular in Wu Kingdom. You can buy it or rent it. There is an order. people, but also double and triple, as well as with a roof"

Gao Jingying introduced the benefits of "bicycle" to Concubine Zhu,

There is basically no difference between these bicycles and modern bicycles, except that metal processing is more troublesome. Mo Qingling changed the body to a wooden body. It is a kind of wood that Mo Qingling discovered. After special treatment, it can be as tough as metal. But it is much lighter than metal, because of this application, this kind of tree is called a pedal tree,

The tires are made of a kind of rubber-like wood, which also needs special treatment. If modern people see it, they must think it is real rubber. Many small holes are evenly distributed on the rubber wood around the circle to increase its strength. ,reduce weight,
The main difficult part is the bearings and chains. Mo Qingling and the adults of the Research Institute have studied for a long time before finally deciding on the materials. These two are mainly mass-produced by the Research Institute and sold to merchants all over the country. They took the blueprints Assemble by yourself,

These bicycles are of such good quality that they last longer than modern materials,

"Can we rent one?" Concubine Zhu was very interested. After she came here, she was most interested in the weird inventions of the Wu Kingdom.
When she came to the place where she rented a car not far away, Concubine Zhu tried a single bicycle several times but failed, so she finally decided to go out to study in a few days. The two of them rented a bicycle with a shed side by side, just like a bicycle in a modern park. kind of the same,
The two bought some things and put them in the basket in front of the handlebars, which is very convenient.
"Huh? Isn't Manager Zhao over there?" Concubine Zhu saw it at a glance.
Just about to say hello, then I remembered that I couldn't see other people in the palace,

So she and Gao Jingying approached quietly by bicycle,

"Old Gao? Who is that other person?" Concubine Zhu whispered,

"It's the imperial physician Chu Liancheng from the imperial hospital," Gao Jingying also said in a low voice,

"The two of them sat by the river at night and watched the moon and drank?" Zhu Fei's burning soul of a rotten girl,
"Hush—they seem to be talking about you,"

Gao Jingying and Concubine Zhu listened to the two drunken men talking drunkenly,

"Brother Chu, why is he so depressed? Could it be that he fell in love with someone he shouldn't love like my younger brother? Hiccup—" Manager Zhao blushed after drinking, but couldn't hide his sadness.

"What is someone who shouldn't be loved? Could it be that I can't love the emperor's woman? The emperor, the emperor has so many women. To him, the loss of a concubine is nothing to him, but, but to me, For me, hiccup is very important," Chu Liancheng took a sip of his wine,

The ground is full of wine jars,
"Brother Chu, you, are you right--yes, the emperor already has so many women, and I, I, Zhao Lin, just want Xiaoqing, so many concubines, why today, the emperor wants to have so many concubines?" Go to Purple Bamboo Palace, "

This person is Manager Zhao of the Siyan Academy. During the process of getting along with Concubine Zhu, he had long been deeply in love. When he learned that the emperor was going to the Purple Bamboo Palace that day, he walked out of the palace as if he lost his soul. Chu Liancheng, the two drank together,
However, Chu Liancheng had long since dismissed this matter. He decided to love Concubine Wan wholeheartedly no matter what. What made him lose his mind was actually something else, but it was because Zhao Lin's sadness affected him to comfort him over and over again. Zhao Lin's own scars are now the same as the day he heard the emperor went to Qingwan Palace,
"We're both degenerate people in the world, why—" Chu Liancheng and Zhao Lin touched the wine bowls in their hands,
The two of them drank from one big bowl to another, and after drinking up more than a dozen jars of wine on the ground, there were fragments of wine jars and bowls everywhere on the ground.

"It's going to be bad for these two people," Gao Jingying said with a smile,
"What?" Concubine Zhu was a little worried.
"Do you think the two of them are in such a state, will they clean up the mess on the ground?" Gao Jingying asked,
"There must be no other way, then—" Concubine Zhu seemed to have thought of something,
"You guessed it right. Tomorrow, they will be invited by Sicheng to drink tea. Judging by the amount, they will have to sweep the streets for half a month!" Gao Jingying said with a smile,
What Concubine Zhu is thinking about now is that she just heard Zhao Guanshi say that she loves her.
