I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Liu Tan thinks that Chen Ajiao may have really misunderstood Liu Che this time. According to normal logic, he, the queen's "pro" son, was thrown into the northern border country to shine. Now the seventh prince is at best the queen's adopted son. What can he do? use?

Even if Liu Che wants to be on guard, he is on guard against him, but now neither Liu Che nor Liu Ju seem to think that he is in any danger. The old seven... is not yet two years old.

He coughed lightly and said, "Queen Mother, the son is still here, it's not Lao Qi's turn."

Chen Ajiao's eyebrows moved slightly: "Then why does he ignore this child so much?"

How did Liu Tan know? If he knew, he wouldn't be troubled by Liu Che often, but now that there is no such thing as divorce between the emperor and empress, he can only try his best to make up for the rift between the two of them, laughing He said with a smile: "Father seems to be very upset by the officials who came back to report on their duties recently. When my son went to see him just now, he was not happy. The closer the New Year is, the more things will happen. It's normal to forget. If it’s really impossible, the queen mother will give Lao Qi a baby name and call her.”

Chen Ajiao rolled his eyes at him: "You know how to speak to your father."

Liu Tan immediately looked aggrieved: "I am wronged, this is not a big deal."

Chen Ajiao waved her hand: "Okay, I don't know you yet?"

Liu Tan deeply felt that it was really difficult for a lady to be unreasonable, and... he was also a little guilty. Indeed, he seemed to treat Liu Che better, and he also cared about Chen Ajiao, but it seemed that he was not as good as Liu Che.

It seems to be a sequela left after time travel from the beginning.

Liu Tan coughed lightly and said, "It's almost Chinese New Year, so don't be unhappy with your mother. During the Lantern Festival, I will make something fun for my mother."

Chen Ajiao asked: "Your cat has been in Shi Heyuan for so long, and finally it's over?"

Liu Tan nodded and handed her a picture and said, "Look, Queen Mother. When the Lantern Festival comes, Queen Mother will be able to overlook the entire city of Chang'an."

After hearing this, Chen Ajiao's heart skipped a beat, but she still snorted and said, "This look is for your father."

Liu Tan immediately said: "How come, the queen mother can also play, and the minister also made beautiful things for the queen mother."

Chen Ajiao immediately widened her eyes curiously and asked, "What is it?"

Liu Tan pressed his index finger against his lips and smiled, "Secret."

Only then did Chen Ajiao pinch his face and said with a smile: "I've always been mysterious all day long, that's enough, I get it, you've been tossing around for so long, go back to the dormitory to rest."

After hearing this, Liu Tan said shyly, "My son... my son is going out of the palace today."

Chen Ajiao looked surprised: "What are you doing out of the palace?"

But before Liu Tan answered, she immediately reacted, and said flatly, "Oh, are you going to see that little Kunmi?"

Liu Tan persuaded, "Queen Mother, now he is the King of Wusun."

Chen Ajiao snorted: "Everything is the same. I have been here for so long and I don't know how to go to the palace to have a look. I am not sensible."

Liu Tan said in a low voice: "He was injured before, and I won't let him move casually, and it's not good for him to enter the harem without authorization. I will bring him in tomorrow."

Chen Ajiao pointed his forehead with her index finger and said: "You know how to talk to him, and they say that girls are extroverted. I think your son is also very extroverted."

Liu Tan held her hand and smiled very cutely, Chen Ajiao was not willing to criticize him, so she waved her hand and said, "Go now."

Regarding Liu Tan and Lu Xuan's matter, Chen Ajiao is very calm, it is absurd to be absurd when young, anyway, there will always be a time when they grow up, when they grow up, they will understand, and it will not be too late.

Before, she was worried that the two of them would ruin their health if they got together to mess around, but now... the time they spend together all year round may not be enough for three months, so what is there to worry about?

After Liu Tan left the Jiaofang Palace, he hurried back to the palace immediately. As soon as he returned, he told Miao Rui before Lu Xuan could say anything: "Quickly, quickly, find a few craftsmen who are good models. Good one!"

After hearing this, Miao Rui ran out quickly without saying a word.

While helping him take off his cloak, Lu Xuan asked suspiciously: "What's the matter? Just take a drink of water when you come back, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Liu Tan said bitterly: "Hey, you don't understand the feeling that parents are arrogant."

Lu Xuan:? ? ? ?

Liu Tan saw how cute his puzzled face was, couldn't help reaching out and rubbing his face, explaining while rubbing: "Didn't I get a hot air balloon, and I want to take my father, mother, and queen with me when I wait for the Lantern Festival." I went to look at the lantern in the sky, but my queen mother insisted that I made it specially for the emperor, and that I forgot her, which... I can only say that I did not forget it, and prepared a gift for her."

Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "But you didn't actually prepare a gift, did you?"

Liu Tan couldn't help letting out a long breath again: "Hey, parents are debts."

It was rare for Lu Xuan to see him look so old-fashioned, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Then what are you going to do now?"

Liu Tan frowned: "It's not long before Zhengdan, so it's definitely too late to do anything else, so I can only make something simpler."

Lu Xuan was a little curious. It is not an exaggeration to say that what Liu Tan prepared for Liu Che was shocking. Before this, who would have thought that people could go to heaven?Even if the flying height is not high enough, it is still flying, right?

What could be compared to a hot air balloon?

In fact, in Liu Tan's opinion, there are not many things that can compare with hot air balloons, and even the things he plans to make are really inferior to hot air balloons, but they have never appeared anyway, and Chen Ajiao's Hobbies are obviously different from Liu Che's.

Liu Che likes all kinds of weird things, while Chen Ajiao likes all kinds of beautiful things.

So Liu Tan came up with the easiest thing to do at present - ice sculpture.

At night, the ice sculptures are shining brightly, so it should be very beautiful, right?

However, even if it is called ice sculpture, it cannot really let the sculptor carve on a large piece of ice, not to mention whether it will be cold, but no one has this skill now.

Ice is different from any jade, and the carving strength is different from those things. It is impossible to practice it for more than ten days, so Liu Tan can only take a shortcut - use molds to make ice sculptures.

Anyway, it's not like he hasn't done these things before. He made sugar sculptures when he sent Princess Danyang to Wusun to get married. In fact, the reason is the same, and even sugar is less easy to manipulate than water.

However, at that time, he thought that the relatively ordinary sugar sculptures could produce spectacular effects in Dawusun, but their size and height were too small in Chang'an.

It is no problem to get such a tall Fan Mo, but the problem is that so much water is poured in, if something goes wrong with Fan Mo, it will be a big accident.

And Liu Tan didn't want people to see it, otherwise the news spread to the palace, I'm afraid Chen Ajiao would be arrogant again——I started doing this after I left the palace. Only by talking can you make up for it.

This kind of thing is more uncomfortable to be discovered than not to do it in the first place.

So Liu Tan came out of the palace not only because he wanted to see Lu Xuan, but because he wanted to understand!

Miao Rui was very fast, knowing that Liu Che was going to make something to please the queen, so he directly brought in nearly thirty craftsmen for him to drive.

And in this process, Liu Tan has already thought about what to do - to make a theme of a hundred birds facing the phoenix.

Even in this period, the phoenix has not been given such a high status, and the real high status is Di Niao, but it doesn't matter, Liu Tan didn't say that the phoenix represents the queen.

Moreover, the appearance of the phoenix in later generations is completely different from the current one.

The so-called hundred birds facing the phoenix is ​​a phoenix standing on a phoenix tree in the middle of an empty field, and the other birds are circling around the phoenix tree.

To be honest, it is not very easy to do, because it is difficult to make the birds floating in the air. You must provide a fulcrum for the ice sculptures of these birds, right?Otherwise, people can't really float in mid-air.

If there is enough time, Liu Tan will definitely be able to think of a better way to hide those fulcrums, but now... there is no way, he can only use iron wires to support them.

As long as the iron wire is thin enough and extends out from the sycamore tree, it shouldn't be so easy to be seen, even if it is seen, it doesn't matter, anyway...he really tried his best.

The focus of the entire ice sculpture is the sycamore tree and the phoenix. These two need to be designed by Liu Tan himself, while the other birds, Liu Tan, let them play freely.

He even imagined the effect of seeing this group of ice sculptures in midair.

Now the height of the hot air balloon is about [-] feet, and it should take off from the star picking platform in the palace. The height is close to [-] feet, which is about [-] or [-] meters. This height is about five floors to Such a height between six floors.

Liu Tan imagined the feeling of looking down from that height, as if the ice sculptures don’t need to be particularly large.

But in order to look better, he finally decided that the height of the plane tree ice sculpture should be at least five meters, and the height of the phoenix should be at the far right of two meters. .

Although the height does not sound very high, it is actually quite troublesome, because the sycamore tree... needs to have branches and leaves, and it is not enough to have a bare stick. The branch that stays in the Phoenix is ​​especially thicker.

However, the good thing about ice sculptures is that they can be "assembled". As long as the parts are prepared according to the proportions, they can be directly "glued" with water when needed, and there is no need to calculate the problem of tight fit.

According to Liu Tan's habit, at the beginning, he must make a small model to see the effect.

After it was finished, he stood on it and looked at the ice sculptures below. He always felt that something was missing—this piece of white flowers could barely be seen to be a bird, and the various details made by the craftsmen could not be seen clearly at all. !
