It was the first time in so many days that he saw the Queen in person. The queen was eating porridge, with a newspaper placed next to her. She was wearing the black uniform of a faculty member of Nanjing University, but she had a green emblem pinned to her chest. Sitting next to her is Shang Gong, who is wearing a narrow dress and is about 35 years old. He wears round-rimmed gold glasses. His neat hairstyle is only decorated with chopstick-like silver hairpins. It is more practical than decorative. Although the two people's clothing is very similar, the master-slave relationship can be distinguished at a glance through the details.
Just the faintly bulging muscles on his shoulders showed that this Shang Gong was definitely not an easy person. Shangluo could directly tell that she was a Qi practitioner, and because she took good care of herself, she was actually older than she looked.
As a personal secretary, Shang Gong will always keep in sync with the Queen's schedule. Although it was dawn at 4 o'clock in the morning, she also got up with the queen. Next to the queen, she also had the same breakfast as the queen.
"Your Majesty." After Zhu Xianfen entered the door, Shang Gong stood up.
"Well, take a seat, Song Shanggong. Let me introduce you, this is my junior brother." He patted Shangluo on the shoulder, "File him away, so he doesn't need to be notified when he comes and goes in the future."
"Junior brother?" Song Shanggong looked at Shangluo - as a Qi practitioner, of course she knew the meaning of "Junior brother". Because there is only one person who can truly be called Zhu Xianfen’s master. Zhu Xianfen's alchemy was taught by Daozu himself, which is extremely rare among emperors in the past, because whether an emperor has the talent of a Qi practitioner also depends on fate.
Zhu Xianfen's junior brother means that
She knew who it was. This is the Qilinzi who descended from heaven.
She leaned close to the queen's ear and whispered a few words to her.
After hearing the introduction, the queen raised her head and glanced at Shangluo - Shangluo also saw her eyes: there were two dark circles, and the queen's face looked like a panda. She was very tired, and she looked very tired at first glance. It's not fatigue from one night, it seems to be the accumulation of hard work in the past few days. A cup of strong tea was still steaming. I didn’t even take two sips of the porridge, but I had already drank more than half of the tea.
"Hello." The Queen nodded weakly to him, "Did you have a good rest yesterday?"
Although she was very tired, she still said hello.
Shangluo quickly returned the gift. This person looked very tired, as if he hadn't had enough rest recently. After all, she didn't come back until seven or eight, and she had to get up before four in the morning. A "time management master" like Shangluo can fall asleep and wake up when the time comes. But most people have to think about it when they go to bed, and they have to think about it again when they get up. Her rest time is obviously not enough.
After sitting down to eat, he sat opposite Song Shang Palace. The other party didn't look at her, he just lowered his head and ate his food in small bites, keeping the same rhythm as the Queen, neither faster nor slower than her.
"Why don't you take a day off today?" Zhu Xianfen, who was sitting in the middle, suggested, "How do you go to school when you're so sleepy?"
"No rush, no rush. Anyway, Sister Ashan is driving, not me. The recent experiments are very important, and we absolutely cannot ask for leave today. Xuanzi Institute 95 in the Gobi is still waiting for us to return data. Several recent The progress of the institute has accelerated, and we are getting busier and busier here. Can you lend us the large difference engine in Huangceku? There are not enough calculators, after all, they are all part-time students."
"Let me ask, it should be possible. I'll transfer some people from Huangceku to you. When this period of work is over, do you want to take a vacation? Where should we go?"
"Nanyang." The queen raised her head, "I'm going to Xingzhou to eat curry shrimp. I want all-you-can-eat. If you don't want anything else, curry shrimp will do."
"No problem, no problem. How long do you expect it to be?"
"Probably...ah..." She rubbed her head, "Sister Ashan, how long will it take?"
Song Shanggong immediately replied: "It is expected that the results will be seen in the middle of next month, and the real results will also be seen this year. But we have to wait for the progress of the Water Dragon, otherwise there will be no way to launch it at a safe distance. After all, the full-scale experiment It can’t be done even in the Gobi Desert.”
"I understand. Come on."
"Forget it, that's all for today." She picked up the porridge bowl and drank the remaining half of the bowl in one gulp. "I'll try not to work overtime tonight. See you in the evening."
"See you tonight."
"Sister Ah Shan, help me get the bag. The one beside my bed was forgotten. I'll wait for you in the car first."
Like a gust of wind, the two people left.
"They are so busy." Shangluo was shocked.
"Actually, I haven't been so busy before. It's just that it's been more critical recently. The progress of experiments in the Gobi Desert has been accelerated, and many research units following the capital have to speed up as well."
"The research direction under the Central Palace is the chemistry of evil spirits?"
"No, she and I are classmates, both from the Department of Chemical Engineering. Their unit is only responsible for some peripheral process research, and is not directly exposed to evil spirits. There are thousands of research units like theirs across the country, and the research on evil spirits is a matter of mobilization. It’s a spectacle that takes over the entire country.”
"I said before that there will be progress next month. Is it going to explode?"
"There is a small-scale 'cross-critical' experiment that will be carried out in the Gobi Desert. After that experiment is completed, we can set off a big fireworks within this year. In fact, it was not that fast before, but this little accident After we verified the conflicting effect of evil spirits and high-concentration spiritual energy, the research progress was greatly accelerated. You are the first to do this part."
"Ah, no, no, wasn't the Condensed Qi Sea made by Your Majesty yourself?"
"I just copied your recipe, and at most I just industrialized it. The first step is of course yours, and we will never forget it. As for myself, I am confident that I can make something equally powerful. I won’t take advantage of you. By the way, how does this hoof taste? This is not from the imitation dining room, this is from the royal dining room.”
"It feels almost the same?"
"In fact, all stew-type dishes are similar. After all, they are prepared in advance and placed on the stove to heat, and you can take them when you want to eat. So when I was a child, I loved to eat hoof, because apart from braised dishes such as hoof, There's nothing good to eat outside. Eat slowly and don't be in a hurry. Are you hungry? I think you weren't that hungry last night. You've had a good night's sleep, right? I'll give you an extra serving. You can have as much as you want. , anyway, the imperial dining room only has pre-made dishes.”
In front of the Yuxi Palace, Zhu Xianfen and Shangluo got out of the car. Jin Yiwei, who was waiting nearby, helped them move the car into the parking space and opened the outer door of Yuxi Palace.
However, as soon as he entered the door, a "dong" sound was heard on the chime.
"What do you mean?" Shangluo didn't understand. Because no matter what the news is, it is a knock on the chime.
"Knock on the chime as soon as you enter, asking us to wait for a while. Maybe the emperor has something to do inside, and he needs to discuss it with Zhang Tianshi and the others first. Sit down first, do you know? There are a lot of fun things in Fetion cards recently. Game, come on, let’s fight Metal Egghead, I’ve already passed the first level! I’m very confident.”
