So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

Time flies, and before we know it, we have entered autumn.

The day of the autumn banquet is approaching, and the topic of controversy about the keynote speaker is gradually fading away as countless people talk about it tirelessly.

On an ordinary autumn night, the Zhou Mansion unexpectedly welcomed a distinguished guest.

"I am Xu Rong, the steward of the Changying Grand Princess's residence. I am here on the orders of the Grand Princess to invite Mr. Zhou and his wife to visit the residence." The old man in gorgeous clothes bowed to the two of them. Although he had a smile on his face, he did not allow any objection. His voice was very thin and sharp, and his face was white and beardless. Xiao Yueshan guessed that this steward Xu should be a eunuch.

The invitation from the Grand Princess could not be refused, so Zhou Yao and Xiao Yueshan had no choice but to take a small carriage sent by the Grand Princess's Mansion and follow Xu Rong to the mansion to keep the appointment.

The person who came here is not kind!

This was the second time that Xiao Yueshan was taken away by these dignitaries and eunuchs. Last time, Mrs. Shen, the Protector of the Nation, sent Wang Huai'en to take her into the palace and she almost lost her life. I don't know why this Grand Princess did this and what price they will have to pay.

The carriage was very small, and the two of them could only squeeze into the back seat. This cramped feeling made their adrenaline rush. Her hand reached out for his hand inconspicuously and they held it quietly.

Xu Rong sat at the side, like a quiet guard, watching the curtain swaying as the carriage bumped along without saying a word.

Last time, Wang Huai'en didn't get any useful information out of him. This time, Manager Xu looked even more difficult to deal with. Xiao Yueshan's heart was already aching with curiosity, but she resisted the urge to ask Xu Rong, and still acted calm and composed.

Zhou Yao is a cold-faced man to begin with. Except for when he is alone with his wife, when he will laugh, act naughty, jealous, and angry like a child, and enjoys deliberately provoking her and then immediately acting coquettishly to appease her, he basically has no emotions towards outsiders, so he always seems to be difficult to get close to.

With Xu Rong in the car, he couldn't spend time with his wife happily. He could only look at her, rub her soft hands, and think about when he could go back. Going to work every day was annoying, and he didn't want to waste the rare and beautiful night in this shabby princess's house.

Xuanyang Lane, where the Xiao family used to live, and Changxing Lane, where their new home was located, were both places where officials gathered in the east of the city. They were not far from Changlefang, where the Grand Princess's residence was located. The carriage was extremely fast, the horses were well-trained, and the carriage was stable and quiet. It didn't take long for them to reach the Grand Princess's residence.

Their status was not high enough to open the main gate to welcome them, so Xu Rong led them into the mansion through a small side door on the east side. They had to pass through three sets of winding corridors and carved archways of different shapes before they reached the inner courtyard.

Although it was night, the Grand Princess's residence was brightly lit. The hanging palace lanterns and the lights set up along the road made the residence as bright as day, so that the small bridges, running water, pavilions, towers, and exotic flowers and trees in the garden could be seen very clearly.

Zhou Yao and Xiao Yueshan followed Xu Rong closely and came to a study room in the inner courtyard.

The marriage between Princess Changying Chu Changling and Duke Yiguo Gao Wei was a typical political marriage.

Not long after their marriage, Chu Changning became pregnant, but for some unknown reason, she suffered a miscarriage during the pregnancy, which injured her body and made it difficult for her to get pregnant for a long time.

The Duke of Yiguo's Mansion cannot be without an heir. Although Chu Changning was born into a noble family, the Gao family still took in many concubines to expand the family. Among them were concubines donated by officials who wanted to use their daughters to complete their "upward socialization."

It was not until Chu Changning was thirty years old that she became pregnant again, with the child being Gao Mao, the legitimate son of Duke Yiguo.

Now the couple are nearly eighty years old, and they no longer care about face. A few years ago, Chu Changning moved from the Duke of Yiguo Mansion to the Grand Princess Mansion to live alone. Gao Wei stayed in the Duke of Yiguo Mansion to enjoy the beauty and children. Only their only son Gao Mao has a residence in both mansions and travels between the two.

Zhou Yao and Xiao Yueshan walked into the study room. Chu Changning was already sitting on the armchair beside the desk. She was wearing a green brocade dress with butterfly patterns, and her gray hair was tied up with a few kingfisher-inlaid gold hairpins. She looked casual and elegant.

Several maids in light pink clothes were waiting for her to read. When Xiao Yueshan saw Chu Changning's pomp and circumstance, she finally understood why ancient nobles needed so many servants.

In addition to the maids who served her closely, such as massaging her legs, kneading her shoulders, grinding ink, spreading paper, and writing for her, there were also two maids serving her incense, two maids serving her ice, four maids fanning her, and four maids serving her tea.

What was even more extravagant was that the girls holding the candles were also young women in pink. This study was very large, and Xiao Yueshan took a quick look and estimated that there were ten girls holding the candles.

The candlelight was dazzling, so the maid holding the lamp had to stand still while on duty. If the light dazzled the Grand Princess' eyes, she would be punished immediately and her life would be in danger.

Xiao Yueshan shook his head repeatedly as he watched this. It would have been better to use a fixed light stand. Why bother with this?

However, this is the luxury that the nobles wanted. Although there were no smart homes in ancient times, they were able to create an "artificial intelligence" style by relying on this human wave tactic.

Most of the stewards in the Grand Princess's Mansion were born in the palace and were relatively old, and the maids and servants they raised were relatively young. Fortunately, there was only one master, Chu Changning, and although there were many tasks to be done, everyone had their own responsibilities and there was no conflict.

Chu Changning didn't even look up when they entered the room. Xu Rong winked at them, and Xiao Yueshan quietly pulled Zhou Yao's clothes to signal him to greet them together.

Kneeling before an old woman was much more uncomfortable than kneeling before an invisible emperor during court. Zhou Yao hesitated for a while before preparing to salute.

"No need." Before the two of them could salute, Chu Changling interrupted them and said, "I didn't ask you two to come here today for these empty formalities."

She raised her head and pointed at the manuscript in the hand of the secretary and maid. "Did you write this article?"

The maid was holding the "Heng Xing Lun" that they had compiled together. It seemed that Gao Mao really sent this academic garbage that they compiled to Chu Changling.

"It was written by my husband." Thinking that Zhou Yao might be embarrassed to admit it, Xiao Yueshan answered first.

"I didn't know there was such a capable person like you. Can what you wrote be verified?" Chu Changling asked.

I didn't expect Chu Changling to be so interested in physics? Xiao Yueshan was really surprised from the bottom of her heart.

"Yes." Zhou Yao answered very concisely.

"How to verify?"

"To put it simply, why people can stand on the ground and why objects don't fly into the air is the evidence of the omnipotence... ahem... the old lady. If the Grand Princess needs further verification, I need to prepare for a few days and make props to show her." He was confident that at most he could do a few interesting physics experiments for her. The level of physics here is not high, so it's easy to fool her.

"Really?" Chu Changling was a little excited. "Even so, you must perform well on the day of the autumn banquet and make everyone convinced of the old woman's moderate judgment. Can you do it?"

"Of course you can." When it comes to studying the motion of objects in the macroscopic world and under low-speed motion conditions, classical mechanics is invincible.
