Chapter 411
Before dinner, Ye Siwei finally saw the rested Chunxie, so she asked Chunxie to help find feathers and make a quill pen that couldn't be simpler by herself.
The drawings are redrawn, and it is much easier to use a quill than a brush. Although Ye Siwei has never drawn a design drawing, she still has a bit of an art background, and it is not a problem to draw the imaginary swing frame.
Before the second detailed drawing was completed, the emperor had already come to the Yilian Palace. Probably because the emperor would appear every day during this time, Ye Siwei would usually go to the courtyard in advance to wait, so she didn't have to report the process. But today Ye Siwei is still drawing drawings, where do you still remember this matter? The palace people in the Yilian Hall didn't expect that Ye Siwei didn't come out today, and when the emperor entered the courtyard, they were still stunned and couldn't react.
The emperor who came in looked around, his eyebrows were tightly locked, obviously he didn't expect that Ye Siwei, who would stand in this courtyard and wait for him in the past, didn't know where to go today.
"I've seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wan'an!" The emperor looked at the courtyard thoroughly, and the palace people in the courtyard finally reacted and asked the emperor for peace. It's just that one by one, they didn't even think to notify Ye Siwei, who was still in the dormitory.
Speaking of which, although none of these people selected by Mama Sun have bad intentions, after all, most of them are new palace maids and eunuchs, even if they are trained, but when they actually experience it, they can't help but look a little too young. After all, today's events, as long as you change to one and stay in this palace for a while, there will be no such thing.
"What about your master?" The emperor did not blame these palace people. After all, the emperor often comes to Ye Siwei's place, and he also has a little understanding of these palace people.
Although Ye Siwei did not leave the Yilian Hall this afternoon, among these palace people, there were also people who did not know Ye Siwei's whereabouts. When the emperor asked at this time, these palace people who didn't know looked at each other, and naturally couldn't answer.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, the little lord is in the dormitory. "Fortunately, not everyone is like this, otherwise it would be really bad to say, and it would annoy the emperor.
When the emperor heard this, he raised his feet and walked to the dormitory, these palace people were rude, the emperor didn't say anything, and he didn't mean to be punished. However, Gonggong Tang, who was behind the emperor, frowned when he looked at these palace people. Although the emperor didn't say anything, it was impossible for him to cross the emperor to punish these palace people. However, Father-in-law Tang is planning to find Mama Sun, the emperor often comes to the Yilian Palace, and the palace people in this palace still have to be taught.
At this time, when the emperor walked into the dormitory, Ye Siwei was still painting at the desk, and she didn't notice the movement in the dormitory. Seeing this, the emperor was curious about what Ye Siwei was doing now, and did not disturb him, but walked to Ye Siwei's side softly.
However, until the emperor took the completed drawing paper on the side, Ye Siwei still didn't pay attention to it, and her mind was still immersed in the drawing.
"What are you drawing? I've never seen it. The emperor took the drawings and observed them carefully, but he couldn't see the reason, and then he finally spoke up.
The sudden sound startled Ye Siwei, and a slender black line appeared on the drawing paper under her hand. Ye Siwei's small table, which was about to finish painting at this moment, was destroyed because of this frightened black line.
Ye Siwei looked at the destroyed drawing paper under her hand, and couldn't help but look at the person who suddenly appeared with some annoyance. However, when she found out that the person who came was the emperor, the anger in Ye Siwei's eyes disappeared immediately.
"When did Your Majesty come? Why didn't anyone spread the word?" Ye Siwei immediately changed her smiling face, but she was still silently mourning for the drawings that had just been destroyed.
"Just came, what are you painting?" Even though Ye Siwei's expression changed very quickly, the emperor still took in all her expressions just now, but now he didn't want to expose Ye Siwei's meaning.
"Well, the swing frame. Ye Siwei glanced at the drawings that the emperor held in his hands, and ignored the map that was destroyed just now, and introduced with some interest: "I want the Supervisor Office to make things according to this map, and then they can be hung in the laurel tree in the courtyard." In the early morning or early afternoon, you can go and sit under the laurel tree. After half a month or so, the osmanthus should also bloom, and then it will be accompanied by tea cakes, and you can also enjoy the osmanthus. If Your Majesty is interested, he can also take the recital to the swing rack for review, and the recital can be placed on the small table, which is much better than being stuffy in the room. ”
Ye Siwei said, her eyes became bright, and she looked forward to the completion of the swing frame. Although there are constant undercurrents in the harem, but now in this Yilian Palace, it is still calm. You don't have to be tired of working like you do in modern times, and you can enjoy a leisurely morning or afternoon once in a while. In fact, if those palace concubines in the harem could have such a mentality, maybe there wouldn't be so many things competing for favor.
However, you don't have to think about it to know that this is simply an impossible thing to look at. After all, everyone's pursuit is different, Ye Siwei just wants to live a leisurely life without worrying about livelihood, but it doesn't mean that everyone thinks like this.
"Sounds good. When the emperor heard this, he also nodded, looking at the scene described by Ye Siwei, and he was also a little interested.
"If this swing frame can be completed, Your Majesty will be able to appreciate it. Ye Siwei said with a smile, not minding sharing this swing frame with the emperor at all. After all, what she had in mind at first was two swing racks. Since the emperor won't snatch her position, what does she have to worry about?
The drawings were sent to the superintendent by the little shadow the next day, and in order to make the superintendent's office more dedicated, the little shadow also stuffed a lot of silver. Of course, all this silver was given to the little shadow by Ye Siwei before, and let the little shadow take it to take it. Chunxie also deliberately gave more, thinking of rewarding the little shadow's dedication. However, the little shadow is a solid-eyed person, and he actually treats all this silver as a dot, and does not leave it for himself at all. If you change to someone else, it's good not to give away the money, where will you give your share.
The drawings Ye Siwei brought were very novel, and the craftsmen in the supervision office were all dazzled. Even if there are no such dots, they will try to make this swing frame, not to mention the case of receiving silver dots, almost all of them are working overtime, and they want to make this swing frame as soon as possible.
Another day passed, and the Department of Supervision devoted itself to studying the drawings and continuous experiments that Ye Siwei had taken. No one thought that Tang Gonggong would be ushered in.
"Why did my father-in-law come? But what is the order? If my father-in-law has something, just let the people below run away, so why bother my father-in-law to come in person?"
However, since Gonggong Tang is a celebrity in front of the emperor, it would be really strange if he couldn't get this treatment.
"My father-in-law also wants to let the people below run away, but this is His Majesty's order, how dare my father-in-law let other people come? If things are not done, then he will lose his head. Father-in-law Tang's expression was indifferent, which was completely different from what Ye Siwei saw on weekdays.
Father-in-law Tang is young, if he hadn't followed the emperor since he was a child, at his age, where would he be able to sit in the position of chief eunuch. And if it weren't for the identity of Gonggong Tang as a chief eunuch, who would have seen Gonggong Tang in this palace. Obviously, Grandpa Tang also understands this. Since everyone's respect for him is because of the emperor, Father-in-law Tang is very good at taking advantage of this.
"I don't know what Your Majesty commands?" Hearing that Gonggong Tang came to be the emperor's order, the eunuch's expression became a little more respectful. At the same time, the supervisor couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, the emperor still rarely instructed the supervisor to do anything.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a matter of the noble people. His Majesty heard that the noble wat was going to make a swing frame, and he was also very interested. Therefore, His Majesty instructed that the eunuch should be urged to make what the Wat nobles wanted as soon as possible. Father-in-law Tang had a straight face, his expression was serious, and even his tone was very serious at this time. It seems that this matter ordered by the emperor is really an extremely important thing.
When the superintendent heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He thought that the emperor would order something big just now, but he didn't expect it to be the swing frame ordered by the noble wat two days ago. Although this swing frame is new, it is just a gadget and does not come in handy. The eunuch had some thoughts in his heart: If it weren't for the face of the nobles, how could the emperor pay attention to this thing.
"Your Majesty really values the nobles of Wat. The eunuch sighed, but his eyes were always focused on Gonggong Tang's expression. These words are generally enough to understand in my heart, but the supervisor will say it later, making it clear that he wants to find out something from Gonggong Tang.
"Who Your Majesty values, that's Your Majesty's business, you just need to do your duty and ask about anything!" Tang Gonggong frowned, and immediately reprimanded the eunuch.
"Yes, yes, the slave understands. The superintendent did not dare to refute, and immediately agreed. In his heart, he was not deflated by this reprimand of Father-in-law Tang.
The eunuch pondered in his heart, since the emperor valued the nobles so much, if he could make this swing frame, would he be able to use it to please the nobles of the wat? Of course, no one would tell the eunuch about all this, so he could only think about it himself. However, the superintendent didn't know that if he asked the superintendent to make a swing as soon as possible, he wouldn't be able to please Ye Siwei.
"The drawings drawn by the nobleman should have been sent over, right? The craftsmen have a clue?" Tang Gonggong ignored what the supervisor was thinking at this moment, and asked about other things.
"It was delivered the day before yesterday, and the craftsmen have been working tirelessly to develop it after receiving it, and the results are quite gratifying. It won't take long for the swing frame that the nobles want to be able to make. The superintendent immediately responded, and they were all picking up nice words.
"Your Majesty said that the swing frame should be made of durable and light wood. ”
"Yes, the minions will do their best to find the most suitable materials. The eunuch nodded in agreement, and his heart became more and more sure of how much the emperor cared about Ye Siwei.
It's just that the eunuch didn't know that the reason why the emperor paid so much attention to this matter may be that Ye Siwei counted this swing frame as the emperor's share. However, Ye Siwei didn't know the news either, and if she knew, she would probably be surprised. After all, Ye Siwei was happy for a while, so she asked the emperor to try the results of this swing frame, where did she think that the emperor, who has a lot of opportunities, would actually take this matter to heart and not say anything, and specially asked Father-in-law Tang to come and say a few words.
Gonggong Tang nodded, everything he wanted to explain had already been explained, and he didn't plan to stay here. After all, after the things the emperor explained, he still has to go back to restore his life.
After sending off Father-in-law Tang, the supervisor breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, the superintendent was not idle, and immediately went to the place where he was working, intending to see how the swing frame was going. Although the little shadow gave a lot of dots, and the craftsmen were quite attentive to this swing frame, the supervisor never paid too much attention to it. But now, the emperor has actually intervened in this matter, and the eunuch naturally has to take this matter to heart. He still expects to use this swing frame to please Ye Siwei, so as to please the emperor.
"Do you have a clue about the swing frame that the noble wat wants?" When they arrived at the workmanship, the supervisor looked around, and finally fell on the craftsmen who were gathered in the crowd.
"Supervisor, the small table you want has been prepared. In addition to the fact that the legs of the small table are higher, it is not very difficult. It's just that the four table legs have been sharpened according to the nobleman's requirements, and this small table can't stand. The minions didn't know what to do, and they wondered if they could ask the nobles what this small table should be!" As the leader of the craftsman spoke, the small table around everyone also revealed his true face.
This small table is really not a big problem, but the legs are sharpened, and if someone doesn't support it, it really can't stand. However, if it can be balanced, this small table can actually stand, but let alone put things, it will fall unsteadily if you touch it. In the eyes of these craftsmen, this small table has no effect at all, and it is naturally obsolete.
"What is the use of this small table? Are you doing something wrong?" Looking at the small table in front of him, the superintendent couldn't help frowning, feeling that such a small table was useless at all, how could it be something that the nobles wanted.
