First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 199 Famous (two more)

  It turned out that the court had inquired about the little girl. It was determined that it was Gu, not Lu, and by chance, I heard that she was the daughter of the Hou Mansion.

  As for which Hou Mansion is unclear.

  Can there be many Hou Mansions with the surname Gu? It happened to appear in that county again from March to June last year.

  Shu Fei can also guess that it is Gu Jinyu with her toes.

Concubine Shu clicked on her forehead, but didn't use any force: "You said you are a child! This is a good thing, and it's not a bad thing. Why don't you say it? I said it earlier, and your father won't make such a big mess. Dragon! Let the men from the Ministry of War ride on him!"

  Gu Jinyu opened her mouth.

Concubine Shu said with a smile: "When you were a kid, you liked to paint on paper, and the five princes followed you to paint. At that time, I thought you were thinking of useless things. Now it seems that I blamed you. Up."

  , the grandmother Qi smiled and said, "Niangniang, do you remember when the county lord asked someone to improve the food box when he was a child?"

Concubine Shu held on to her temple and smiled suddenly: "Ah, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me! Is it! Is that food box still?"

  Manny Qi smiled and said, "Yes! The slaves and maids are keeping them!"

  Shu Concubine ordered: "Get it here!"

  Grandma Qi went to the storeroom and took out an old food box that Gu Jinyu had used as a child.

  The food boxes in the palace are layered on top of each other, like a walking steamer. Gu Jinyu felt that this kind of food box was inconvenient, and said that if you want to take the bottom thing, you must also pick up the top one. It would be nice if each layer could be separated.

  She took apart Shu Fei’s dim sum box and made a fixed frame, but there are several small drawers that can be pulled apart from the side.

  The eight-year-old's hands are not too coincidental. She said that the eunuchs did it, but they did it according to her idea.

  At that time, he also got a few compliments from his majesty.

  This kind of food box was also available in the private sector at the time. Because it was not warm enough, it was generally only used for snacks.

  Gu Jinyu has never seen her. She thought of it herself. Her Majesty finds it very rare for an eight-year-old girl to be so smart.

  Since then, Concubine Shu discovered Gu Jinyu’s talent and often summoned Gu Jinyu into the palace to study with the fifth prince.

  Shu Concubine whispered: "To tell the truth with aunt, did you do it on purpose?"

   "Huh?" Gu Jinyu looked at her blankly.

Concubine Shu smiled happily: "Yes, the effect of this is indeed much better than that of confessing your identity from the beginning. You succeeded in causing a sensation in the court, and also aroused your majesty’s idea. The more you are indifferent to fame and fortune, the more your Majesty appreciates you. ."

  Gu Jinyu wanted to speak but stopped.

  Where did she make any bellows?

  She has never heard of it.

   "Niang Niang, where did you bring the things you want?" A little **** walked over with a piston bellows.

  Gu Jinyu looked at Concubine Shu in confusion.

Concubine Shu said to Gu Jinyu: "Come on, talk to your aunt about how this thing is used! If your majesty talks with this palace in the future, this palace may have a common topic with your majesty!"

  This bellows was brought from the Ministry of Defense, and there are many such bellows today.

  Gu Jinyu has never seen it, but she is indeed very smart. She had people bring tools, personally took apart the bellows, and put it back intact. Then she understood the principle of this blowing technique.

  The wind box has three layers. The first layer is where the tie rods are located. The front has a tuyere at both ends, and there is a movable valve on the tuyere.

  When the pull rod is pushed, the No. 1 valve at the back end opens, and the wind flows in from here, the No. 2 valve closes automatically, and the wind is forced into the No. 2 small bellows on the second floor from the tuyere under the No. 2 valve.

  Under the small wind box is an air outlet, which is connected to the boiler.

  And when the lever is pulled back forcefully, the No. 2 valve at the front is opened, the wind flows in from the No. 2 valve, the No. 1 valve is closed, and the wind is poured into the No. 1 small bellows on the second floor from the tuyere under the No. 1 valve.

  No. 1 small bellows also has an air outlet, which is also connected to the boiler.

  The two small wind boxes are independent and are not affected by each other. The only thing in common is that they are both connected to the boiler and can send wind power to the boiler.

  This kind of double-acting piston bellows has wind regardless of pushing and pulling, so there is no waste of energy and movement.

  This design is so exquisite, Gu Jinyu was amazed!

  Comparing with it, his food container is nothing but a witch. No, his food container is not even a little witch.

  But, did your majesty and the people in the Ministry of War make a mistake?

  This is not what she did.

   "How did you come up with this method?" Shu Fei asked.

Gu Jinyu thought that Concubine Shu was talking about the bellows and was about to confess. Concubine Shu interrupted her: "If you don't say who she is, she will leave a drawing and leave some clues afterwards. His surname is Gu, which has something to do with the Ding'an Hou Mansion. It doesn't make people feel deliberate at all! As expected of someone trained by this palace!"

The focus of the harem concubine is always different from that of normal people.

  Gu Jinyu was wondering, what was wrong, right? There are only two girls in Ding'an Houfu, one is her, but she hasn't drawn any drawings.

   will never be the wild girl who grew up in the country.

  She doesn’t know a single word!

  How can she make such a delicate tool?

When Gu Jinyu was puzzled, Concubine Shu suddenly patted her hand: "The four seasons of osmanthus in the imperial garden is blooming, let’s go pick some, and let the people in the imperial kitchen make osmanthus cakes for your father. Bring a little too."

  Gu Jinyu sighed, and was taken to the Imperial Garden by Concubine Shu.

  The flowers in the Royal Garden are blooming very well, colorful and colorful.

  Coincidentally, they are not the only ones who come here to enjoy the flowers. Concubine Zhuang is also there.

  Chuang imperial concubine is a few years older than Shu concubine, not as beautiful as Concubine Shu, but also dignified and elegant, with a temperament of national beauty and natural fragrance.

   "Sister Guifei, such a coincidence." Concubine Shu said hello with a smile, bowing her knees and bowing slightly.

Concubine Zhuang gave her a half courtesy in return.

  The two are both first-class concubines, but the noble concubine is the head of the four concubines, and the status is naturally higher than that of the concubine Shu.

  Gu Jinyu also saluted Concubine Zhuang: "I have seen the concubine empress."

  Zhuang noble concubine smiled gracefully: "It turns out that it is the host of Hui County, and the host of Hui County does not need to be polite."

   "Thank your concubine empress." Gu Jinyu flattened her body.

  Gu Jinyu often enters the palace. She has seen Concubine Zhuang several times before, but for some reason, she feels that Concubine Zhuang is very gentle this time.

Concubine Zhuang’s gentle gaze fell on Gu Jinyu’s face: "Country Master Hui has already gotten married, haven’t you said a kiss?"

   "Auntie!"

  Zhuang Yuexi came over with a basket of freshly picked flowers.

  She saw Concubine Shu and Gu Jinyu and bowed in a salute.

  Gu Jinyu is the county owner, but she did not dare to receive the gift from Zhuang Yuexi in front of the concubine Zhuang. She was also slightly blessed to return the gift.

  "Aunt, what were you talking about just now?" Zhuang Yuexi asked.

  Guifei Zhuang smiled and said, "I'm talking about the marriage of County Master Hui. You are one year older than County Master Hui, and you haven't discussed marriage yet."

  Zhaoguo female fifteenth birthday, only consider marrying later, most of the big families are not in a hurry, and it is also possible to get married at the age of eighteen or nineteen.

  As for men, most of them don’t get married until they reach adulthood in their twenties.

  Why Concubine Zhuang suddenly asked about Gu Jinyu’s marriage, the intention is somewhat intriguing.

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Not yet."

Concubine Zhuang said: "I heard that she has an older sister who is already married."

  The smile on Gu Jinyu's face froze.

  Shu concubine looked as usual: "My sister grew up in the country and married early."

  Since the imperial concubine knows it, it doesn’t make sense to cover it up, so it’s better to say it openly.

  Guifei Zhuang sighed with a smile: "Concubine Shu wants snacks, such a good niece, I don’t know which stinky kid will get a bargain."

Concubine Shu was amused by Concubine Zhuang, and the two jokes about Gu Jinyu for a while before returning to the palace.

  The topic of Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Shu has always been around Gu Jinyu. Zhuang Yuexi on the side seems to be left out. This is the first time that Gu Jinyu has played the protagonist in front of her concubine.

On the way back to the Changchun Palace, Concubine Shu helped the steps on her hair bun, and said with a little triumph: "It seems that Concubine Zhuang also knows about your invention of the bellows. Her news is so fast. I went to send a snack to your Majesty and happened to hear it, but I don’t know how she knew it. Hmph, the person next to your Majesty must have breathed her!"

  Gu Jinyu suddenly realized, is it because of Zhuang Guifei’s abnormal attitude towards her?

  Is a bellows so powerful?

  Gu Jinyu suddenly didn’t have the courage to confess to Concubine Shu: “Why did the imperial concubine suddenly ask about my marriage?”

  Could it be that she wanted to match her with King An?

Concubine Shu casually said: "Mostly, I want to win you over. The crown prince is like a tiger after winning Wen Linlang. She is afraid that she does not want to emulate Empress Xiao and find a good help for her son."

  King Kening already has a concubine, wouldn’t he just marry a concubine?

  Princess Ning is not a good stubborn, it is difficult to survive in her side room.

   Besides, Gu Jinyu doesn’t like King Ning, she likes King An.

  Gu Jinyu pulled Concubine Shu’s arm and begged: "Auntie, I don’t want to marry King Ning."

Concubine Shu waved her hand: "It may not be King Ning."

  Gu Jinyu said: "She only has one son."

  Shu concubine said: "Don’t you have a nephew?"

  Gu Jinyu's eyes lit up: "Auntie said... King An?"
