Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

Leng Qingyi looked at Zhou Qi's inventions one by one. Most of them were useless, but it was already amazing that he could invent one or two useful things.

This is a rare research talent.

"The bow you made is more powerful than ordinary bows and arrows, and it doesn't require much strength to draw. But it does take a while. By the time you load an arrow, the enemy has already shot you dead. It's more time-consuming than a bow and arrow, and not as convenient as a crossbow."

Zhou Qi lowered his head in frustration. After he made it, he showed it to Ji Yechen and he said the same thing.

Is it true that I can only make some useless things?

"But have you ever thought about combining it with a crossbow to retain the power of your bow and arrow and combine it with the skills of a repeating crossbow to make it a continuous-fire crossbow?"

"I have thought about it, but the best I can do is five bursts."

"How could that be? If the arrow is made smaller and launched faster, it will be more powerful."

Zhou Qi was a little confused. How much smaller could the arrow be?

"But no matter how small the arrow is, it has to be a certain length, otherwise it won't be able to be shot out."

Leng Qingyi picked up a pen and drew a diagram of a homemade gun on the paper beside him.

"In that case, I think only arrows will be needed."

Tiandao: You said it was only slightly more powerful than existing weapons?

"Wouldn't it be more powerful if we added some black powder to the arrow?"

Zhou Qi, who has been fond of tricks since childhood, understood the meaning of Leng Qingyi's drawing at a glance.

"Your Majesty, give me some time. I will try."

"No problem. I have some ideas. I'll draw them up and send them to you when I get back to the palace. If you come up with anything in the future, just send it directly to the palace for me to see."

"Yes, I obey your order."

The two of them discussed Zhou Qi's inventions in the courtyard for more than an hour, leaving the Minister of Works standing beside them dumbfounded.

At the end, Zhou Qi watched Leng Qingyi leave with admiration on his face. When he could no longer see the emperor, he turned around and went into his own courtyard and started tinkering with the instruments.

The Minister of Works was very suspicious as to whether the Emperor of Dongxia was raised in the cold palace without any guidance or was carefully brought up.

Zhou Qi was completely focused on the strange weapons that the emperor mentioned, but he was different. He had been in officialdom for decades and had seen much more than Zhou Qi.

It is incredible that a prince who grew up in the cold palace can surpass other powerful princes and sit on the throne. But their emperor is also proficient in many ways, which is really not easy.

It seems that things are going to change in Dongxia!

After leaving, Zhongli Yuan followed Leng Qingyi and felt that she was becoming less and less like him.

Even her appearance has a bit of her own unrestrained and bold style.

"Are those weapons you mentioned from your family?"

"No, they are just weapons that are slightly more advanced than those in your world. You can't produce more powerful weapons with your current production level."

"If those guns and cannons you mentioned can be made, are they really as powerful as you said?"

"That's not that powerful. I've flown a spaceship before. One shot could destroy a planet."

The admiration in Zhongli Yuan's eyes was almost overflowing, and he had no doubt about the truthfulness of her words.

"Are you planning to build these weapons to start a war?"

"It all depends on whether the other countries behave themselves. If they behave themselves, I won't mind their existence. But if they provoke me, you can't blame me for destroying their royal city with a single cannon shot."

Leng Qingyi felt that she was a person with strong execution ability, so when she returned to the palace, she began to draw blueprints and write recipes.

It describes everything from blacksmithing to the proportion of gunpowder in great detail, and anyone with a little bit of common sense should be able to make it.

After all, they were just homemade guns, cannons, and bombs that were slightly more advanced than the cold weapons they were using now.

She was very clear that those who lag behind would be beaten, so she had to prepare for the future and let other countries fall behind first.

"I don't know why I always feel like I've forgotten something."

"Mid-Autumn Festival is in ten days, and the imperial concubine will organize the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet." When Zhong Liyuan said this, his eyes were gloomy.

"It's none of my business, it's definitely not this."

"Is that about the autumn hunt?"

"It's still early. We have to wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"What's that?"

"I can't remember it. Forget it. It's definitely not important."

Three assassins who were almost tortured to death by An San in the dungeon: "???"

I have to say that Leng Qingyi knows how to use resources reasonably (be lazy).

Zhongli Yuan was in charge of reviewing memorials, and he would read the important ones to her. She herself would lie on the chaise longue, eating fruit snacks and reading a storybook.

The prime minister helped her organize the government decrees and laws, so she just needed to take them out and take a final look at them.

The ones training the troops are Ling Xuan and Ji Yechen.

The ministers had no chance to go to the palace to report anything. The time for their tasks was almost up, so the emperor just strolled over.

She didn't have to deal with the concubines because they all knew what kind of person the emperor was and didn't hang around him much.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine requests an audience."

Okay, just pretend she didn't say anything.

"Let her in."

Zhongli Yuan looked up at Leng Qingyi, put down the memorial in his hand, stood up and stood beside Leng Qingyi.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

"Get up, what do you want from me?"

"When will the enthronement ceremony for the new sisters in the Emperor's harem be held?"

"It will be fine as long as it's done before the Mid-Autumn Festival. You and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will follow the ancestral system. I'm relieved to leave the affairs of the harem to you."

"One more thing, does anyone have a choice of sisters for the Emperor to take with him on his autumn hunt?"

"Bring Concubine Xue and Concubine Xi with you, and you can arrange the rest."

Yan Ruju's eyes darkened, but she still had a perfect smile on her face.

"Yes, has the Emperor's sister, Concubine Yi's injury healed?"

After asking this question, Yan Ruju carefully observed the emperor's reaction, not missing any slight change in his expression.

Leng Qingyi sat up straight away and put down the script in his hand.

Yan Ruju's heart immediately rose to her throat.

"I was just wondering if I had forgotten something, but now that you've asked me, I remember that Concubine Yi was seriously injured. I sent her away to recuperate, and she probably won't be back for another year or two."

The three people in the dungeon: "Okay, okay, let's play it this way, eh?"

"What? Is Sister Yifei injured that badly?"

"Alas, you don't know. The assassin left because he thought Concubine Yi was dead. Fortunately, Concubine Yi was lucky enough to keep her breath, but her body was destroyed. Alas."

Three people: "Okay, okay, you haven't thought about us after talking so much, right?"

"Where did the Emperor send Concubine Yi? If I didn't know, it would be fine. But now that I know, I will definitely send someone to give Concubine Yi some medicinal herbs. I have a wild ginseng that is several decades old in my private storage."

"No, just keep your things safe. She's alive now and needs to recuperate slowly. She won't need such precious herbs."

"Ok."
