Chapter 191 The Surprise from the Empress
And today, Yuhuatian saw Shen Changgong's knowledge in inventing various new weapons. So many complicated and incomprehensible things were actually all invented by him. The divine thunder that blew Yuhuatian's army to pieces was also invented by Shen Changgong.
He was a resourceful commander, a brave general, an official who governed the country and maintained its peace, and a craftsman who strived for perfection.
Is there nothing in this world that he doesn't know?
Is there really such a perfect person in this world?
Yu Huatian didn’t know. He even felt that Shen Changgong didn’t seem like a person of this era. Many of his ideas and techniques were very advanced.
It was as if everything in the world had a development process, but he skipped that process and put the final answer right in front of them.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Yuhuatian, he is just curious.
If these weapons could be manufactured, it would be no problem for Dayan to conquer the world. This means that it was right for him to join Dayan, and to join so early.
It was not until it was completely dark and the workers of the East Factory had all gone off work that Shen Changgong was able to escape.
Dragging his tired body, Shen Changgong led the three of them outside.
"You two have wasted quite a bit of time following me here today."
Guan Shouchang immediately shook his head and said,
"Don't waste it, Your Highness. This is the most valuable day of my life. The experiences I've had in the past twenty years haven't been as great as today."
"Hahaha, sure. New artillery will probably be built in a few days. Then we can go to the Shenji Camp outside the city to test it out."
"As ordered."
"Go home, everyone. The East Factory has a carriage to take you there."
The four of them parted ways, and Shen Changgong and Tu Queling got on the carriage.
When they were about to set off, Tu Que Ling suddenly said,
"In the evening, someone suddenly came to the palace and said that His Majesty invited you to the palace for dinner."
"Go to the palace? Normally, I can go wherever I want, and she never interferes. Why did she suddenly ask me to go this time? Is there something wrong?"
"I don't know. No one in the palace said much."
"Okay, let's go and have a look. It doesn't matter where you eat."
Lanling Wang's carriage changed direction and drove towards the palace.
They soon arrived at the imperial palace harem. The carriage stopped in front of the imperial kitchen. Shen Changgong got off the carriage and saw Yan Fuyao and Gongsun Wan'er eating in the banquet hall.
Shen Changgong and Tu Queling walked over.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
Tu Queling saluted.
Shen Changgong was straightforward and casual and sat next to Yan Fuyao.
"Stand up and sit down."
After Yan Fuyao finished speaking, he looked at Shen Changgong and said,
"What about you? Don't you even need to bow when you see me?"
"I salute you? Aren't you afraid?"
"I am the Supreme Lord, what do I have to fear?"
"I never greet you normally. If one day I suddenly greet you politely, you should think that I am trying to usurp power and harm you."
"you dare."
Yan Fuyao narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze full of threat.
Gongsun Wan'er said quickly,
"Your Majesty, raising a tiger is a disaster. Do you want to kill him? I can do it for you."
As the empress's loyal lackey, even though Gongsun Wan'er has become Shen Changgong's woman, she will not let go of any opportunity to target Shen Changgong.
"Just eat your meal. You're the only one who talks too much."
Yan Fuyao rolled his eyes at her, and then asked while eating,
"You went to see Yu Shuai today. How is Yu Shuai living in Dayan?"
"It's quite good. His house is neither too busy nor too remote. It's surrounded by dignitaries and no one causes trouble.
Today I went to the East Factory to improve the artillery and muskets. I was busy all day and I'm exhausted."
"Master Shen, you have worked so hard for the country. Your heart is commendable."
"Just one sentence: His heart is commendable?"
"What else do you want?"
Shen Changgong sighed and said slowly,
"It's pitiful! I worked so hard to fight the enemy, to share the worries of the country, and I worked so hard and made such great contributions, but some women just say that their hearts are commendable.
Alas, the world is so fickle and unfair in its rewards and punishments. If I tell anyone about this, I will be ridiculed by the whole world."
Listening to Shen Changgong's sarcastic words, Yan Fuyao also had a playful smile on his face.
How could she not know what this guy was thinking?
So, Yan Fuyao counterattacked in the same sarcastic tone,
"Oh, I had already arranged a reward for someone, but he actually said bad things about me, saying I was unfair in my rewards and punishments. Well, then I'll just take the reward back."
Shen Changgong was startled when he heard this, then he stretched out his hand, hugged the empress's slender waist, and leaned against her, smiling,
"What reward?"
"Haha, am I not unfair in rewarding and punishing?"
"Nonsense! My Great Yan Emperor is a wise ruler throughout history. He clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments. How could he possibly treat me harshly? Let alone a reward, even if there were no reward at all, I wouldn't have a single complaint."
"Really? Well, since you speak so sweetly like a traitor, I'll reluctantly give you the reward."
The empress calmly took away Shen Changgong's hand, stood up, and said,
"I'm done eating, I'm going back to sleep."
"No, what is the reward?"
"Just come back to your bedroom tonight and check it out."
"The bedroom? A honey trap? Could it be Gongsun Wan'er again?"
The first person Shen Changgong thought of was Gongsun Wan'er. After all, she had no idea how many times the empress had given her to him.
Gongsun Wan'er held the chopsticks tightly and gritted her teeth.
"You seem to dislike me!"
Shen Changgong narrowed his eyes and looked at her, and asked,
"What is the reward?"
"Can't you see for yourself?! Don't you have eyes?"
After saying this, Gongsun Wan'er put down her chopsticks heavily, turned around and walked away with her butt raised.
"This girl needs to be disciplined again."
Shen Changgong muttered something, then looked at Tu Que Ling and asked,
"do you know?"
Tu Que Ling was bewildered.
"I have been with you all day."
"Forget it, eat and then go to bed early."
"it is good."
After finishing their meal, Shen Changgong and Tu Queling walked towards the bedroom.
When he arrived at the door of the bedroom, Shen Changgong felt something was wrong.
The white window paper on the doors and windows actually emitted a faint red light, which looked weird and scary.
Shen Changgong opened the door doubtfully and walked in. The first thing that caught his eye was a pair of big red candles placed on the table in the middle of the room, some wine and red lanterns hanging around.
It looks even more weird and terrifying.
"What do you mean? A Chinese Ghost Story?"
Shen Changgong has a unique sense of horror about classical Chinese weddings. After all, that's how they are portrayed in many horror movies.
At this time, a female ghost wearing a red wedding dress and a red veil appeared.
Sure enough, when Shen Changgong pushed open the door of the inner room, he saw a "female ghost" in a red wedding dress and a red veil sitting on his bed.
