Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Xiao Yunxi couldn't explain to the Emperor and Doctor Jiang the principle of hyperopia, which involved optical projection.

"You don't understand the specific explanation of the principle. Presbyopia cannot be cured, it can only be improved. You need to wear glasses..."

"Eye?"

"It's glasses."

Not only were the Emperor and Imperial Physician Jiang inexperienced, they also liked to ask questions. Xiao Yunxi had no choice but to give them a simple physics lesson.

Compared with the child's trust in her and ability to accept, the emperor and Doctor Jiang obviously doubted what he said about the refraction and projection of light.

Their life experience is even more limited. They simply don't understand the example of "plucking fish from the river".

"Dabao, take out the little telescope Mom made for you and show it to them."

Facts speak louder than words.

No matter how much you tell them, it is better to show them the results directly, so that they don’t act like curious babies.

Dabao is a little reluctant,

He was very suspicious that if he took out the telescope, the emperor would definitely show his shamelessness and confiscate it.

Or take it out.

My mother was obviously very impatient. If the emperor kept asking questions, she might turn the table over.

He took out a small cylinder from his pocket.

"Grandpa Emperor, this is a gift from my mother..."

"Grandpa Emperor, what good things have you never seen? I'll give them to you after you've used them."

Dabao handed the telescope to the emperor and taught him how to use it. The emperor put the telescope in front of his eyes, and a face seemed to appear in front of him.

Omg!

He took the telescope away, and the face disappeared. The face that was just close to him was clearly the guard standing at the door of the hall.

The main hall of Kunning Palace is more than 30 meters wide. How can you see the faces of the guards at the door clearly?

The emperor put the telescope in front of his eyes again and could clearly see the entrance to the hall. Was this the reflection of light that Xiao Yunxi mentioned?

"How far can this...telescope see?"

"You can see for miles."

Dabao's telescope is specially made, and it is not easy to make. The effect of the telescope equipped by the secret guards is worse than this.

"If such a magical weapon were used in the military..."

The emperor wanted to take the telescope for himself immediately, but when he thought of his previous promise, he changed his words.

"Xiongying, can you please give this telescope to the Ministry of Industry? I'll return it to you once it's built."

“…”

Xiao Yunxi said:

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has samples. Just give them to the Ministry of Works to copy."

The emperor showed a surprised expression.

Could it be that this telescope was invented by the Ministry of War? Xiao Yunxi's next words hit him hard.

"The telescope was invented a long time ago. The prince specially sent a sample to the Ministry of War, hoping that they could mass-produce it."

The emperor's face turned pale.

If the Ministry of War obtained a magical artifact like a telescope, it would definitely report it to him. If it didn't report it, there is only one possibility: these idiots didn't take it seriously.

.....

Guo Wenhan has been very worried recently.

The war in the northwest has not ended yet, and the harassment of Japanese pirates on the southeast coast has become more and more frequent. These people are very bad. They shoot and then move to another place, and do not engage with the main force.

The southeastern coastline stretches for tens of thousands of miles and there is no way to defend it. If you want to completely eliminate the bandits, you can only take the initiative to attack and clear the islands in the southeastern coastal area.

If you want to go out to sea, you must have a navy. Daxia has been closed to the sea for many years and doesn't even have decent ships. How can you eliminate pirates?

"Master Guo, His Majesty summons you."

He thought it was a matter of the southeast, and thought to himself that if the emperor asked for a solution, he would say that he wanted to build a navy, and that if the court had no money, it was none of his business.

"Minister Guo, do you know what a telescope is?"

Aren't you asking about Southeast?

"Your Majesty, I don't know."

"Did you receive the items that Prince Zhou sent to the Ministry of War from the northwest?"

Guo Wenhan was stunned for a moment.

"Your Majesty...Prince Zhou did send something through Minister Qin. I wonder which one Your Majesty is referring to."

The emperor was stunned. There was more than one thing sent back?

Knowing Zhou Jin well, he wouldn't waste energy sending useless things back to the capital, so that bastard Guo Wenhan missed more than just the telescope?

"Go get everything...and call Minister Zhang and Minister Qin as well!"

quickly,

Qin Feng and Zhang He came over with the bicycle blueprints and telescope samples sent by Zhou Jin. The emperor picked up the telescope.

The shape is similar to Dabao's, but the workmanship is rougher and not as small and exquisite as Dabao's. He picked it up and looked at the guards in front of the hall.

The effect is similar,

The emperor's face immediately turned ugly. Could it be that these idiots couldn't see the value of the telescope?

"Can anyone explain to me why no one reported it?"

What to report?

Guo Wenhan was puzzled. This kind of thing had no practical value, so why should he report it?

Qin Feng bowed:

"Your Majesty...Prince Zhou asked me to hand these two items over to the Ministry of War. Later, banditry became serious in the southwest, so I was sent there. When I came back, I asked Minister Guo about it, and he said the two items weren't worth mass-producing..."

Zhang He was calm and composed. He thought the matter had nothing to do with him. It was Guo Wenhan himself who said that the things Zhou Jin sent had no practical use and asked them not to worry about it.

The emperor was so angry that his lungs hurt, and he pointed at Guo Wenhan and cursed him.

"Idiot, such a magical weapon, and you actually said it's useless!"

If Guo Wenhan was not his confidant, the old emperor would have wanted to kill him directly. If he had not met Xiao Yunxi today and mentioned the telescope,

Isn't he kept in the dark?

Guo Wenhan was wronged.

"Your Majesty... that thing is really useless. The figure I saw is getting farther away. It's completely useless."

"Far away?"

The emperor was dumbfounded. Was he hallucinating?

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Guo Wenhan quickly went up to him, picked up the telescope, and held it before his eyes. After confirming that it was correct, he gave it to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, please see for yourself."

The emperor took it and looked at it. Wow, Guo Wenhan in front of him had become so small and seemed very far away from him.

Huh?

It seemed that the direction he was holding the telescope was different from that of Guo Wenhan. He changed the direction of the telescope and put it in front of his eyes, and the guards in the distance were all in sight.

“Guo…Wen…Han!!”

Damn it, this idiot actually got it the wrong way around!!

...

Xiao Yunxi was unaware of the farce in the imperial study, but the farce of the eldest princess was sweeping over her.

Not long after she returned to the Xiao Mansion, she heard that the Zongzheng of the Zongzheng Temple and the Siqing of the Dali Temple wanted to see her. Could it be that they came specifically to inform her of the punishment for Princess Gaoyang?

It shouldn't be.

The Chief Minister of the Imperial Clan and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court are among the Nine Ministers, and they are top-level figures. It is not shameful for her to come to them in person just for such a small matter.

Inviting her in, they both said frankly that they hoped she could go to the Dali Temple.

"There's been a change in the Gaoyang case. The victims have changed their statements, saying they were careless driving and that you deliberately instigated them to commit fraud. You need to be investigated."

The two of them came here specially because they had no other choice. They hoped that Xiao Yunxi would give them face and not make a big deal out of it.
