130 Concubine Feng, Finale (II)
"I know that you are all skilled craftsmen, and you are very confident in your craft, and the test is simple, that is, you only need to make this thing in half an hour. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoWhether you use wood or iron, now you can have a cup of tea, come up and take a closer look at this picture, let's get started! Mackerel sat down to drink her tea, and when she had finished her cup of tea, it was time for them to make it.
"When the hour comes, please stop, and naturally someone will go down to collect what you have done, and then the time will judge the good and bad of what you have done. Again, we only have five carpenters and five blacksmiths, and I can only say sorry for those who were not chosen! ā
As she spoke, she walked to the table where she had collected all the works, looked carefully at the propellers they had made, and finally put the propellers she had selected, at least the ones that had been completed, on the rotating shelf, to see if the two things matched, and whether they could rotate smoothly after matching!
"Okay, now I'll take out the names of the ten people who have been chosen, please listen! They are Xu Su, Peng Dongrui, Lu Xueru, Dong Cangsong, Zhou Pu, Li Zidong, Meng Lulu, Xue Qinglin, Mo Ruhu, Zhang Guangyi, and the others can go back now, and one person will send ten taels of silver for the repatriation fee, which is a thank you for your hard work! Mackerel gave the names of the ten people who had been selected, and then said to the others. So the guards came forward and took out the people who had not been selected out of the door one by one, and went to take care of the send-off money.
"Okay, for those of you who have been selected, this afternoon is my opportunity to communicate with you and your family, and someone will send the letters you wrote to your family one by one, because in the next month, you will not be able to meet with anyone, but you will have to do something together, and when this thing is successful, there will be a reward!" Mackerel danced lightly and walked out, and naturally someone gave them pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
"Here are the various parts inside the plane, a total of 235 parts, including the wings and propellers outside, and all the parts responsible for controlling the entire aircraft inside, please come over and take a closer look, one part to do ten, because a total of ten planes are to be made, please choose twenty parts to start doing!" Mackerel said lightly, pointing to the paper that had been taped to the large wooden board.
"Mackerel, there is a question after the next one, that is, if these parts are done, can they really be assembled into an airplane? And will this plane really be able to go into the sky? Because there had never been such a thing before, I had some doubts. Mo Ruhu looked at the more than forty planks around him, considered it for a while, and still asked.
"Yes, for sure! Please don't doubt, don't hesitate, since I asked you to come over and ask you to make these things, I am very sure that this plane will be successful in the end! Now please choose 20 parts each, and make 10 parts for each part, which adds up to 200, which is not less! Mackerel replied in the affirmative. After her words fell, everyone naturally began to choose, because as she said, this work is not easy!
Half a month later, Ma Qingwu checked the batch of parts they had made, and then returned to the palace before the child, because she promised Qi Hongyi that no matter how busy she was, she would definitely return to the palace once in five days, in order to meet the children, and also for him. And now that 177 parts have been made, and more than 50 are still missing, it will be ready to enter the assembly stage of the aircraft!
"Light Dance, back? I made a supper, you can come and eat some and go to bed! After returning to [Bishui Pavilion], it was not surprising that Qi Hongyi's voice was still heard, and the mackerel danced softly and smiled gently. Because in the past half a month, after she came back every five days, she could hear his voice, no matter how late it was!
"Qingwu, I know that you will not stop until the thing is done, so I will not say anything like telling you to stop, don't continue, but I hope that when you live outside, you can also take good care of yourself, and don't let yourself be hungry, tired, or cold. Since you are going to confirm whether what they are doing is up to standard, then you will not do it, but what needs to be consumed is your attention and mind, and it is your heart and eyes that are more tired when you think about it, so you must pay attention to rest. and Nianyi, Nianyu and Brother Rui, they miss you very much, saying that you can't see your mother for a few days......"
When the mackerel danced and ate supper, Qi Hongyi said a little babbling. It's been like this these times, when Mackerel Qingwu was eating, he said what he wanted to say, said that he missed her, said that the three children were concerned about her, and then when he finished, Mackerel Qingwu almost finished eating, and then naturally slept peacefully!
"Okay, Hongyi I know, whether it's your thoughts about me, or the children's concern for me, I know! But fortunately, in another five days, all the parts are almost ready, and then you can enter the assembly stage, at most it will take another five days, the plane will be able to take off smoothly, and it is expected that within a month, the 'artificial rain' will be completed, and it will definitely be possible. After the mackerel danced and finished the supper, he replied to Qi Hongyi's words.
"I know, that's just the way to say it, after all, you're working so hard for me. Well, now that the supper has been eaten, let's have a good rest! Although it is said that it is not good to rest immediately after eating, but now you can't help this situation, every time you come back very late, and then the next day when I go to the morning court, you will also leave the palace. Qi Hongyi said while putting the empty bowl back into the food box.
"Well, that's good, this time I can wait until I have breakfast before going out, because as you said, I haven't seen my three children for a long time, so I'll come to see them tomorrow morning, and I miss them too!" Mackerel thought for a moment and said. Because children's growth is actually very important, even if you only miss a few days, you will miss a lot of wonderful shots!
"Of course it's good, but before you accompany them and leave the palace, you must say goodbye to them, now that the children are older, they know some things, so it's not so easy to coax!" Qi Hongyi said with a smile. Because children are born with dependence and trust on their parents, parents should be patient and gentle enough when facing their children.
"Mother, I finally see you! What have you been up to lately? We asked Dad, and Dad would only say that you were busy, but what you were busy with but would not tell us, so now, Mother, can you tell us what you are busy with and how long will you be busy? Mackerel Qingwu hugged Qi Nianyu who rushed towards her, listening to her milky voice, but asked very seriously.
"Mother is doing a big thing, as for what it is, I can't tell you yet, but you'll know later. Also, although my mother is not busy yet, but I have only been concerned about you, at most half a month, I can be busy, and I can accompany you then, so before that, you have to wait patiently! Mackerel pinched the child's little face and said.
"Oh! That mother, you eat more, and you must eat your stomach to the full, so that you have the strength to do things. Since you have already said that you can be busy in half a month at most, then before that, of course, we will wait for our mother, and then my mother will be with us as before, which is enough for us! Qi Yirui spoke sensibly. Because he knew that as long as what his mother said was true, what she promised them had never been fulfilled.
"What a good girl, what a good baby! Come, let my mother kiss one! Hmmm......" Listening to the child's milky but sensible words, Mackerel Qingwu's eyes unconsciously began to burst into tears, and then when he was moved, he squatted down, kissed the little faces of the three of them one by one, and hugged them again.
"Okay, now that the parts are done, it's time to assemble! The six of you are specially selected people with the ability to remember, so please watch my every move now, and then start assembling the plane in the order of my actions. I'm going to break it into five parts, you just have to see it and assemble each one! Now start to see clearly! As she spoke, she began to move, putting together the parts one by one, until more than forty parts had been assembled, and then she stopped her movements and signaled that the six of them could start.
"This is not the case here, you have to install this part first, and then install the next part, otherwise if this one part is dropped, the back parts are all installed, and it is useless...... The parts behind here are this one here, and then this one is here, and the order can't be wrong...... Okay, now that the parts for this part have been assembled, let's start the assembly of the parts for the next part, and you can see that the assembly of this second part starts with this one part......"
Mackerel Qingwu said seriously, and the movements in her hands were also flexible, because her movements were not very fast, just so that the six of them could see clearly. The assembly of her plane is not to see the speed, but mainly to explain the order before and after to them, so that they can see the assembly of each part clearly, and there should be no mistakes in the middle, so that the aircraft assembled by the six of them can be successfully completed in the end.
Another five days have passed, and Mackerel Qingwu will return to the palace in the afternoon this day, because the assembly of the ten planes has been completed, and tomorrow will enter the stage of test flights, although she is sure that the ten planes have all been assembled, but before the successful test flight, she will still be nervous, I hope everything goes well!
"Hongyi, tomorrow you will take the national teacher and some ministers who don't believe that the plane can fly successfully to the outside of the palace, and we will witness the test flight of this plane together!" Mackerel Qingwu said to Qi Hongyi with certainty, this is her confidence and her confidence!
The next day, Mackerel led everyone to a plaza where she had assembled the plane herself. Because she made a plane that could sit for two people and then the door could be opened from both sides, so now naturally the two of them went up. It was Samo Qingwu and another person who never forgot to go up, and so on the second plane, he took another person who never forgot to operate, and so on, so that the ten planes could successfully fly one by one!
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ji will take Wu Tianshu up for a test flight, please rest assured, Concubine Ji will definitely go up safely, and then come back smoothly!" The mackerel danced lightly and bowed to Qi Hongyi. Because although she is Qi Hongyi's concubine Hui, in front of the ministers at this time, her guarantee is necessary, so she must take it seriously.
"Okay, I allow Concubine Ai to take Wu Tianshu to do the test flight of the plane, I believe that Concubine Ai will not disappoint me!" Qi Hongyi also understood the significance of her doing this at this time, so he also agreed one by one, giving her absolute trust.
"Wu Tianshu, wait for you to be optimistic about my operation, if you don't understand, just use my camera to take pictures of my movements, and take a good look at it when the time comes, anyway, it's not like we get off the plane, you have to immediately carry out the test flight of the second plane, so don't worry, just stabilize your mind!" After the mackerel danced on the plane, she said this to Wu Tianshu, and after nodding her understandingly, she pulled up the operating stick and started the test flight of this plane.
"Your Majesty, this plane is flying higher and higher, and the ministers are no longer visible, so how can we confirm that this plane is really a successful test flight?" Saba Zeyu looked at the plane that was no longer visible, and asked Qi Hongyi. Because he didn't expect that this plane would be made by Mackerel Qingwu, and now he wants to let himself witness the smooth take-off of this plane, I don't know why the emperor did this.
"Aiqing, don't worry, as long as you wait for this plane to fly back smoothly, then it means that the test flight has been successful, which is why I let Aiqing watch here today!" Qi Hongyi glanced at Samurai Zeyu and replied. However, although he is calm on the surface, and he also believes in the light dance of the mackerel in his heart, he will also be worried, worried about the success of the plane test flight, worried about her safety, but now all he can do is to wait patiently and believe in her!
Half an hour later, the plane landed smoothly, Mackerel Qingwu took off the hat on his head, and saluted Qi Hongyi again: "Your Majesty, the concubine is fortunate not to be dishonored, and the plane test flight was successful!" ā
"Good, good! Come on, serve wine, I want to have a good drink with Aiqing and celebrate the success of the plane test flight, hahaha......" Qi Hongyi laughed loudly, showing his good mood at this time. Because although Mackerel Qingwu has repeatedly stated that the plane will be able to successfully test flight, it can only be 100% relieved when you see it with your own eyes and are completely sure!
At the beginning of the year, the second aircraft was successfully tested; Halfway through, the third aircraft successfully flew test; At a short time in the afternoon, the fourth plane successfully flew test; At the end of noon, the fifth aircraft made a successful test flight...... At three o'clock, the tenth aircraft successfully flew in a test flight!
The next day, Mackerel Qingwu had people start making gunpowder, because her dry ice was ready, and now she had to make twenty parts of gunpowder, and then the gunpowder and dry ice were tied to the arrows, and then when they were about to reach the clouds, they flew away at the clouds, and then before the gunpowder exploded, they flew away in a plane, so that a lot of rain would fall. Moreover, the sound of the gunpowder explosion is somewhat similar to the thunder, so this 'artificial rain' is not too abrupt.
"Qingwu, I know what you said, but this gunpowder is very dangerous. And you also said that from the time you shoot the arrow, until the gunpowder explodes, and then the rain falls, at most no more than a few acres, will you be sure that you will be able to escape? Qi Hongyi asked after listening to the explanation of the light dance of the mackerel.
"Hongyi, you should understand that the reason why I am doing this is not only to help you, but also my own selfishness. Because of my previous two promotions, one was to give birth to three children, one was to solve the plague, and this time because of the continuous high temperature, and the famine that may break out, I went to do the 'artificial rain' thing in advance, I will definitely be safe, you believe me! Mackerel also understands his worries, but this matter must be done by herself, so she will not back down in the slightest!
"Well, since you said so, then I will promise you. But light dance, if there is really danger, then you must take care of yourself and don't care about the people around you. I'd rather have something on your own, as long as you can be well, I won't ask for anything! Qi Hongyi said, and hugged Ma Qingwu tightly, with great strength, so that Ma Qingwu clearly felt his uneasiness, fear, worry and eagerness, and she didn't say anything, just hugged him gently, making him slowly feel at ease.
The next day, twenty people flew these ten planes into the sky, because they had to go all the way up, so Sabe Qingwu naturally also loaded the plane with things for communication, and when the time came, everyone had to shoot the arrows in their hands together, and then quickly drove the plane away before the explosives exploded. Because it takes a quarter of an hour to go up, and a quarter of an hour to go down, it adds up to a total of half an hour, plus the time to stay and shoot, at least half an hour, and it is more than half an hour to come and go, so it is important to hurry up and act quickly!
"Okay, now take out the prepared arrows, everyone draw the bow, I'll count one, two, three, and everyone will release the arrows together!" One, two, three! As soon as the mackerel spoke, he shot the arrow in his hand into the clouds, and the eighteen people on the other nine planes also acted together. When you're done shooting, put away your bow and fly the plane as fast as possible!
Just when they drove less than two hundred meters, the explosives exploded, and then the dry ice combined with the water condensed in the clouds, and the raindrops the size of beans fell, smashing on the plane, and the sound of 'popping' could be clearly heard.
"It's raining, it's raining! It's finally raining! And it's still a heavy rain, and the crops finally have enough water to moisturize, which is great! Naturally, the people cheered because of the heavy rain. Because it was more than two months of high temperatures, not a drop of rain fell, and now there is such a heavy rain, at least the crops will be full of water, and then the rivers and wells that are almost empty will also be filled!
"Hongyi, I'm back! Now I'm going to go back and get a good night's sleep, no matter how long I sleep, don't worry, because I haven't slept well for more than a month, so this sleep will definitely be long, at least more than ten hours. After Mackerel Qingwu got off the plane, she said to Qi Hongyi like this, and then walked towards the carriage, but when she didn't take a few steps, she was picked up by Qi Hongyi, and she didn't have any objections, so she let herself lean on him, in his arms, and fell asleep not long after.
When she was asleep, Qi Hongyi took her in a carriage, and after returning to [Bishui Pavilion], Lan Qing and Miao Qing wiped her hands and face, and took off her coat, and then Qi Hongyi naturally went to do business, for this 'artificial rain', the reaction of the people, as well as the rewards of the sixteen people, and the reaction of the ministers to this initiative. Last but not least, it was a decree for Sackerel to be promoted, and when she woke up, she would be given to her. He was busy for four or five hours, and when he was busy, he avoided the morning court the next day, came to [Bishui Pavilion], lay down next to Mackerel Qingwu, and slept with her.
"Awake? Then you get up, it's noon now. Because you fell asleep at noon yesterday, so by now, you have slept for twelve hours, and you haven't eaten three meals, so hurry up and wash up, and then have lunch, and then come to receive the order! Your promotion has been decided, and the Queen Mother agrees, so you can just relax! Qi Hongyi, who was reading a book, heard the movement of the mackerel dancing lightly, so he looked up.
"Really? No wonder I'm so hungry! And I can still smell the smell of food, and I think that lunch is already set, just wait for me to wake up and come to eat, right? Then Hongyi, you serve me to brush my teeth and wash my face, come, carry me to the basin! Mackerel said lightly, and opened his hands to Qi Hongyi.
Although Qi Hongyi was stunned by her actions, he saw that she seemed to be a little coquettish to herself, so she did so. He stepped forward and carried her out of bed, then put her in front of the basin, wrung out a towel for her, let her wash her face, and then rinsed her mouth with salt water, and accompanied her to lunch, and told her to change into the palace clothes of Guiji, and wait for the holy decree!
After the mackerel light dance changed into the palace clothes, in less than a quarter of an hour, Li Shunlai came and announced the holy decree written by Qi Hongyi:
[Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Today, there is a light dance of Hui Gui Ji Mackerel, virtuous and virtuous, intelligent and kind, helping the people solve the problem of no rain, and also solving a big problem for the country, so that the famine did not break out, I am very relieved! Therefore, the mackerel light dance was promoted from Hui Guiji to Huihuang Guifei, and her children have been called 'mother concubines' all their lives, and their status is second only to the queen. ć
"Emperor Xie, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The mackerel danced lightly and kowtowed in thanks, and then got up, Lan Qing and Miao Qing stepped forward to take the box in the hands of the two fathers-in-law on the left and the right beside them, and what was placed on it was the clothes and crown of the imperial concubine, and their own master was the imperial concubine!
