When the melodious, crisp and melodious flute sounded, Zhao Hongxing thought that Miss Wei was going to perform a solo flute, but then, a situation that made him stunned happened.

Miss Wei actually sang while playing a tune.

How did this happen? Not only Zhao Hongxing was full of doubts in his heart, but everyone in this room had the same heart.

Zhao Hongxing had heard before that a master of playing a wind instrument could use his nose to breathe while blowing, so that the tune could be kept intact and would not be unnaturally interrupted due to lack of breath.

But Zhao Hongxing has never heard of anyone who can play the flute and sing at the same time.

What is this called? Wenfang Lou has ventriloquist?

Just when Zhao Hongxing was still in a somewhat confused state, Miss Wei sang a beautiful song with a pleasant flute, and her graceful figure began to sway gently with the tune.

The eyes of the young men in the room were all straight, and a few of them even had haraxes on the corners of their mouths. Le Aya also looked intoxicated, her eyes flashing with little stars.

Does this girl like quyi so much? Do you want to talk to the emperor's father about inviting Miss Wei into the palace to teach her? Zhao Hongxing thought about it.

After singing the song, if it weren't for Le Aya starting to applaud, these people would have sat there staring at Miss Wei.

"Oh, Miss Wei sings very well. ”

"It's good, it's good. ”

"The flute is also played well, and it is played well. ”

"Uh-huh, it's all good, it's all good. ”

While slapping their hands, the guys began to flatter.

Zhao Hongxing pursed his lips, it is estimated that among these applauding people, except for Le Aya, none of them really listened to Miss Wei's flute and singing.

You lowly embryos, are you here to watch the show? You are just gluttonous!

"Sister Wei sings freely, it's really a miracle. Le Aya applauded and said with great admiration.

"Her Royal Highness the princess has won the prize. Miss Wei thanked her: "The little girl has only recently developed the skills of playing the flute and singing at the same time, and today is also the first time to perform, and it seems that the effect is not bad." ”

Not only is it good, it simply makes Zhao Hongxing puzzled.

How did this be done? Could it be ventriloquism? Playing the flute with her mouth and singing with ventriloquism? But Zhao Hongxing remembered that the voice of ventriloquism was completely different from the voice of speaking with her mouth, but Miss Wei's singing voice did not change at all compared to usual.

Could it be that she usually speaks in ventriloquist as well?

But even if that's the case, then you can sing while playing the flute with ventriloquism?

If this is the case, then Miss Wei's performance can be regarded as a level. And no wonder she covered her face with a piece of white gauze, probably not only to hide her appearance, but also to cover her mouth, so that others could find that her mouth was not moving when she spoke.

Of course, no matter what, this is all Zhao Hongxing's blind guess.

Today, Miss Wei was very appreciative, and then she boasted and sang several tunes, and it was seen that these young men and Le Aya were fascinated in the places they wanted to see.

Before the dinner ended, Zhao Hongxing specially told everyone what to give at Zhao Yuling and Zhao Xiuling's birthday banquet in two days.

Didn't these guys ask Zhao Hongxing to discuss "what to give at the birthday banquet", so of course he had to give some "useful" advice.

Zhao Hongxing said, don't send too valuable, the two princesses are still young, and they don't need it for the time being, just let them send something that looks like they have put a lot of thought into and is different from others.

Zhao Hongxing's opinion suddenly made these guys completely confused, what is a gift that "can be seen to be different from others"? But the prince's opinions have already been given, and no one dares to ask in detail.

In fact, he couldn't answer after asking Zhao Hongxing, he just said it casually, anyway, the person who bothered to think about it in the end was not him, who cares how these people go back to think about it.

——————————

Soon, at the end of July, the first birthday banquet of the two little princesses, Zhao Yuling and Zhao Xiuling, was held as scheduled.

The banquet was held in the largest hall in the palace, which was enough for all the people in the capital who could come to the banquet to bring their families in.

Since the restaurant is shared, it is necessary to ensure that each guest has his own table and seat. Therefore, on the day of the banquet, everyone who comes to attend will arrive early, so as to give the party holding the banquet time to count the number of people and prepare tables and chairs.

Zhao Hongxing was very surprised when he participated in this kind of large-scale banquet for the first time, these hundreds of people had to have a table and a chair for each person, and the scene was really quite spectacular. Not only do you have to prepare hundreds of sets of tables and chairs, but also hundreds of sets of cutlery, dishes, bowls, cups, and so on.

This is also the royal family, who has nothing to do to prepare so many tables, chairs and tableware for eating.

Before the meal, everyone gathered in a mess in the courtyard outside the main hall, or in another hall dedicated to receiving guests.

With a relatively high status, such as the top head of the department such as Shangshu, he will directly bring gifts and his family into the hall to see the little princess.

At this time, Zhao Zongyang and Xiao Biqiao took Zhao Yuling and Zhao Xiuling, the two little princesses, to meet the guests in the innermost part of the hall. The two princesses are still young, and they may be frightened if there are too many people, so there are very few people who can put them in and take a look.

But as long as you can come in and see the child, you will immediately like these two cute little girls with pink makeup.

"Oh, congratulations to Your Majesty the Palace for getting such two lovely princesses. Basically everyone who sees these two children will say hello to Xiao Biqiao, and Xiao Biqiao can't get tired of listening to it, no matter who says it, hehe.

"Look, a strip of cloth embroidered with 'Jade Spirit' on this dress is my sister," Xiao Biqiao also happily introduced it to the visitor, "This one with a strip of cloth embroidered with 'Xiuling' is my sister." ”

"Oh, these two girls look so alike, I can't tell the difference as a mother. Xiao Biqiao happily explained.

Zhao Hongxing, who was standing at the door to greet the guests with Zhao Hongwei, said, you can't tell who your daughter is.

Of course, Zhao Hongxing didn't say it, because he couldn't tell the difference.

said that he was receiving guests at the door, but in fact, Zhao Hongxing followed Zhao Hongwei and Zhao Zhongling behind him with a smiling face. Although these eunuchs and family members knew him, he could not recognize all of them. Only Zhao Hongwei, who has a very good memory, and Zhao Zhongling, who is very good in the circle of women in Beijing, can recognize everyone who comes in, Zhao Hongxing stands behind them, and the title is over.

At this time, Zhao Hongxing was very envious of Le Aya, who was taking care of the two little princesses with Xiao Biqiao in the house, he felt that he was standing here like a fool, and he didn't have to do anything except say hello and smile.

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, His Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, how good are you. Finally, an acquaintance that Zhao Hongxing knew.

He Congwen, the son of the He family, came in with a gift in his hand.

"Hello Brother He, why did you come here alone today?" Zhao Hongwei greeted him, seeing that He Congwen came alone, he felt a little strange.

"Ah, my father and grandfather are still busy with some research in the technical hall, so I will come here today. He Congwen said, and handed the gift in his hand to Zhao Zhongling's eyes, "Look, Your Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, I brought a carefully selected gift." ”

Zhao Zhongling looked at the gift, then at He Congwen, and rolled his eyes-it means that you attended my sister's birthday banquet and stuffed the gift to me.

"Well, come on, take the congratulatory gift from Gongzi He. Zhao Hongwei called an attendant over and took the gift from He Congwen in front of Zhao Zhongling.

"Brother He, do you want to go in and take a look at my two younger sisters?" Zhao Hongwei asked.

He Congwen looked inside and found that most of the children were women inside, so he politely refused: "It's noisy when there are too many people, so I won't go in and make trouble." ”

In fact, He Congwen just turned around and said goodbye after saying this, and he had to look at Zhao Zhongling and added: "As long as the gift I prepare, Her Royal Highness the princess likes it." ”

Although he didn't say which princess Her Royal Highness was, Zhao Zhongling still rolled his eyes again - it means, what are you saying to me, do you want to hint at me?

After He Congwen turned around and said goodbye, Zhao Hongxing said to Zhao Zhongling again and again: "Fifth sister, I think the brother of the He family seems to be interesting to you. ”

"Hey, can you still understand what someone is hiding from me?" Zhao Zhongling didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Hongxing, "If you can understand this, pay attention to yourself first." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Hongxing was inexplicably despised by Zhao Zhongling.

Zhao Zhongling looked back at Zhao Hongxing, who was scared of a question mark, and rolled his eyes - it means that the old lady knows everything, and she doesn't need you to remind her.

Don't blame Zhao Zhongling for being fierce Zhao Hongxing, she really doesn't like this He Congwen. Several generations of the He family have been "intellectuals" in Yanfeng and have made great achievements in academics. This He Congwen should not surprisingly follow the tradition of their He family and enter the Hanlin Academy to become a Taishi.

Although Zhao Zhongling doesn't like to practice martial arts, she likes heroes with strong martial arts. This is mainly influenced by her father Zhao Zongyun and the large number of heroes and beauties she has seen. Therefore, Zhao Zhongling especially hopes that she can marry a general, and she thinks that the generals must all be big heroes.

But it's a pity that Yan Feng can become a general depends on the two aspects of military age and military industry, just the military age of more than ten years can kill a young man. Therefore, the youngest general of Yanfeng is almost forty years old.

Zhao Zongyang definitely can't let Zhao Zhongling marry a general who is nearly forty years old, and Zhao Zhongling is not so unthinkable, as long as he is a general, he will marry.

But even if there is no suitable candidate now, Zhao Zhongling doesn't like He Congwen like this, Yijiewen is powerless, if he really encounters any danger, maybe he will be put down first. In addition, this Brother He has studied hard since he was a child, and he doesn't know how to deal with people. Therefore, Zhao Zhongling, who is exquisitely tongued and skillful, looks down on him even more.

After being murdered by Zhao Zhongling, Zhao Hongxing immediately became honest. He didn't want to make the princess unhappy, although his sister loved him very much, but she never spared him when she settled accounts after the autumn.

Zhao Hongxing, who put his eyes on the courtyard and tried his best to pretend to be a good person, found that the courtyard was a little strange at this time.

There were four or five people leading their dogs, strolling east and west in the courtyard.

How can there be people who come here to walk dogs? Zhao Hongxing said in his heart, but he immediately reacted, no, there are no dogs allowed in Miyagi.

Because Xiao Biqiao is allergic to animal hair, especially cats, dogs, etc., the hair is more serious, so there is not a single small animal in the entire palace. This is also a good thing, the queen never wears fur because of allergies, so fur is not popular when these noblewomen in Yanfeng are compared with each other, which leads to many animals with high-quality fur escaping the hunt.

Zhao Hongxing took a closer look at these people who were "walking the dog" in the courtyard, and found that they didn't seem to be wandering around, but deliberately guiding the direction of the dog, letting them sniff and smell.

The guests in the courtyard were also strange to see these people holding dogs, but after all, this was the territory of the royal family, and people wanted to do whatever they wanted, so no one asked out loud.

Zhao Hongxing looked at this scene and felt a little familiar, and always felt as if he had seen it somewhere. When he saw a dog sniffing around the edge of a flower bed, and then suddenly fell down and wagged its tail at the person who was holding it, he suddenly remembered where he had seen this scene.

Isn't this a drug detection dog?

When the man leading the dog saw the dog's reaction, he picked up the shovel in his hand, dug in the flower bed, dug out a small cloth bag, and handed it to a man carrying a large box.

Seeing that this person was a little laborious to carry the box, these people probably had dug up a lot of small cloth bags from all over Miyagi and put them in this box.

Zhao Hongxing was a little puzzled, what was this doing? Has the world also started to have drugs? He had seen some herbs in the book that could cause excitement and hallucinations, but they all had to be eaten in bundles to take effect, and it was difficult for people to eat so much except for grass-eating livestock.

And with the chemical level of this world, it is estimated that no one has been idle to refine the concentrate of herbs, right?

Zhao Hongxing poked Zhao Hongwei's waist, then pointed to the people who were leading the dog in the courtyard, and asked, "Fourth brother, do you know what these people are doing?"

Zhao Hongwei had just finished welcoming a guest, and after listening to Zhao Hongxing's question, he looked into the courtyard and said, "Oh, they are looking for Lei Huo." ”

"What?" Zhao Hongxing thought he had misheard.

"Don't worry, it's all your own burial. Zhao Hongwei saw that Zhao Hongxing was a little scared, and hurriedly comforted: "At this time, an experiment is being conducted."

It's not a question of who buried it, nor is it a question of whether it's really an experiment or not, but a question of why it's buried here!?" Zhao Hongxing shouted in his heart.

"This, this is buried here, aren't you afraid of exploding?" Zhao Hongxing asked stumblingly, pointing to the man carrying a big box.

If the new thunder fire in this box is about the same size as this box, then Zhao Hongxing believes that as long as it is blown up, half of the palace will collapse.

This Nima is similar to TNT, and it's crazy to bury such a large box in the palace!

"Don't worry, sixth brother, this new thunder fire is safe. Zhao Hongwei should have gone to the Technical Hall these days to participate in the research of this new type of thunder fire, and explained to Zhao Hongxing: "Although this thing can be detonated with fire, it needs to be roasted on a very concentrated fire for a while before it can explode." So no matter how hot the weather is now, it can't detonate the thunder and fire. ”

Zhao Hongwei was right, it was a coincidence that Qi Huan was able to blow up this new thunder fire for the first time at that time. At first, he used a handful, wanting to light it directly with the incense stick, to see how fast and at what temperature he had newly blended. But what he didn't expect was that after touching it with the incense head, this new type of thunder fire didn't react at all.

At that time, Qi Huan failed to match himself, and all he created was something that couldn't be lit. In a fit of rage, he threw all the new thunder fires into the trash.

Most of the Qi family's garbage cannot be thrown out directly because it may contain things that leak secrets, and they need to be burned to ashes in their own incinerator first. As a result, this small handful of new-style thunder fire exploded in the Qi family's incinerator and collapsed.

Fortunately, Qi Huan reacted to what had blown up his stove, otherwise they might have missed the correct recipe for the new thunder fire.

However, Qi Huan also learned from this that the new thunder fire is not something that is so easy to blow up. Later, when I tested it again, I used a certain amount of old-fashioned thunder fire to detonate the new type of thunder fire.

It wouldn't be good if the detonation point of the explosives was too high, the world has not yet been exposed to electricity, there is no such thing as a detonator. If you want to blow it up, you have to make a fire for half a day, and it will be difficult.

"Is it so safe?" Zhao Hongwei is the most reliable among the brothers, hearing him say this, Zhao Hongxing was a little relieved, and then asked: "Then why bury these thunder fires in the palace city and let the dogs find them?"

"I don't know the specifics. Zhao Hongwei said that he didn't know, but then he asked Zhao Hongxing: "I heard that in two days I heard that an explosion test will be conducted in the western suburbs of the camp, do you want to go and see it too? Then someone must be able to tell you what this is doing." ”

Zhao Hongxing nodded hurriedly, of course he wanted to see this kind of thing as testing explosives, he had never seen this kind of exciting scene when he thought about it in his previous life.

After all, explosions are also an art.

On the premise of ensuring safety.
