In the imperial study room, the old emperor was drinking tea happily. Seeing that the emperor was happy, Eunuch Shen also came forward to give the emperor more tea: "Did the emperor encounter something happy? You might as well tell me about it to make the old slave happy. chant!"
"Of course I'm happy. With the two drawings just presented, our military power of Dayu must be the strongest in the entire continent. Those mother and daughter are not ordinary people. They were inspired by the Buddha. Come to think of it, It will definitely help my grandson create a prosperous world, hahaha!"
"Are they so powerful? Your Majesty still has discernment. In my opinion, they are two beautiful little girls."
"You are an old guy, you know how to act stupid in front of me. You have been the most vicious for so many years. There are not many people you can go to and try to curry favor with. Your attitude today says it all."
"This is also a blessing for the emperor and the emperor's grandson! Think about it, in the past thousands of years, whose child has been born with auspiciousness from heaven! Isn't it our royal family? These two talented mother and daughter, I guess it was brought along with the auspiciousness."
"Hahaha, you are the only one who can speak."
"The old slave is telling the truth!"

At the same time, Ling Xiaoyu, who returned to the East Palace, was in a daze looking at the drawings of crossbows on the desk. He was sure that this was the first time he had seen this drawing, but for some reason, it felt very familiar to him. He could guess the structure inside at a glance. He could just tell people to do it without studying it at all. This familiar feeling made him more convinced that he must be related to the mother and daughter, and he must have seen the things they took out before.
Afterwards, he ordered Shadow to secretly go to the Ministry of Industry to select reliable personnel. He also specifically ordered that Cang Jian, under Da Sima, be fully responsible for the research, development and production of these two weapons.
Xia Qingfeng specifically explained this matter when he parted with Xia Qingfeng's mother and daughter at the palace gate. He had also heard that Da Sima had a person who was extremely skilled in mechanical skills, so it would be more appropriate for him to be responsible for the manufacture of weapons.
He also ordered his men to recruit Cang Dao and Cheng Ye into the East Palace to discuss the recruitment of troops.

Xia Qingfeng on this side also returned to the Xipinghou Mansion. As soon as he walked to the door of Qingya Courtyard, a woman walked towards him. She walked quickly towards this side, saluted and said hello in front of Xia Qingfeng, then hurriedly stood up and walked forward. When she missed Xia Qingfeng, she whispered: "Be careful of Aunt Zhao." Then she left.
Xia Qingfeng was stunned, and turned around to see how this person looked so familiar... By the way, this was Yang Ma who worked in the big kitchen in the mansion. It was she who helped Cuiliu escape from the Hou Mansion. This time when he returned home, Xia Qingfeng originally planned to thank her, but who knew that there were so many things to do that he actually forgot about it. This time, she kindly reminded herself.
Aunt Zhao, huh, you finally couldn't help but take action.
Not long after they returned to the courtyard, they saw Aunt Zhao and her people arriving at Qingya Courtyard aggressively. Just as they were about to enter, they saw Xia Yingjun guarding the door. She was a little timid immediately, but after thinking about the purpose of coming today, she still confidently called to the door: "Madam, can you come out? There is something very important lost in the slave's yard, which was originally rewarded to the slave by the master. Someone saw a little maid sneaking up to you from the slave's yard. I hope you can let the slave take the maid in to look for her."
What I have to say is that the maid in my yard stole it.
Xia Qingfeng looked at the two maids beside him, and Xia He said, "I can't look down on her crappy thing." Gingko also snorted and said, "If I like something, I can ask Madam directly. Madam is better than her." rich."
"Okay! You are indeed my maid, Aunt Zhao, did you hear that? Oh, by the way, Aunt Zhao, may I ask what you lost?"
It is an emerald hairpin that the master gave to the slave. This hairpin is very important to me. It was given by the master when the slave gave birth to the eldest son. "Aunt Zhao said proudly, "I hope Madam will let the servants of the slave family go in and search. "
"Oh, go ahead, Yingjun, you go with her."
When the maid who was about to lift her legs to enter the hospital heard this, she retracted her legs again, and then looked at Aunt Zhao tremblingly.
When Aunt Zhao saw it, she became so angry that she kicked the maid and said, "Hurry up and go."
The maid could only enter the house and search cautiously. Xia Yingjun was following her. Just as the maid was about to put the hairpin in her arms into the box on the dressing table, she saw Xia Yingjun baring his teeth at her. She also wanted to secretly stuff the doll in her hand into the box. Under Xia Qingfeng's pillow, Xia Yingjun also bit his cuff and wouldn't let go.
She really didn't dare to do it anymore, and in the end she was almost scared to tears by Xia Yingjun. She had no choice but to retreat to the yard.
Aunt Zhao saw it and asked the maid proudly: "Have you found it?"
The maid looked at Xia Yingjun and could only say with a sad face: "Madam, I haven't found him."
Aunt Zhao glared at the maid. This idiot seemed to have been framed. She had no choice but to say to Xia Qingfeng angrily: "Madam, I'm sorry to bother you. Maybe the servant has made a mistake. Then I'll go somewhere else." Let’s search the yard.”
Xia Qingfeng looked at Aunt Zhao with a half-smile but said, "How can I let you come here in vain?"
So, he winked at Xia He, and saw Xia He rush to the side of the maid just now, directly pulled away the maid's protective hands, and took out two things from her arms, one was Aunt Zhao's jadeite stick hairpin, and the other is a little stuffed doll covered in embroidery needles.
After Xia Qingfeng saw it, he smiled and said to Aunt Zhao: "Aunt Zhao, it seems that your yard is not clean. There are people here who are guarding and stealing, and there are people who are cursing you to die!"
Aunt Xia was so angry that she slapped the girl on the face and said, "You damn girl, I usually treat you badly, but you dare to frame me!" She kept moving her hands as she spoke.
"If Aunt Zhao wants to teach this servant a lesson, just go back to your own yard and don't dirty my place."
Aunt Zhao could only pluck the maid's hair and leave.
"Oh, by the way, Aunt Zhao, the maid who framed the master in this way will definitely not be kept in the house. If you can't do it, then I will do it!"
Aunt Zhao gritted her teeth and said, "Madam, don't worry, I will not take mercy lightly." After saying that, she cursed and walked away.
"It's finally quiet!" Xia Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. This little trick was meaningless.
"Madam, you let her off so easily. It's so easy on her." Ginkgo couldn't help complaining.
"It doesn't matter, they won't be able to dance for a few days anyway." The old emperor has already said that there will be no Xipinghou Mansion in the future, so what are the concubines in the backyard fighting for?
