The weather is pleasant in mid-June, and the Imperial Garden is full of purple and red, but it is not these rare flowers and trees that make the Imperial Garden lively at the moment.

Xu Huo clasped his hands in his sleeves and looked boredly at the two imperial brothers not far away talking excitedly about the "wooden cow" on the grass.

Originally, he was playing chess at Kiyomizu Temple, but he was suddenly cut off on the way back to the palace, and then he was brought into the palace by these two people without saying anything.

Xuan Wang Xu Xun and Ping Wang Xu Xuan are both the same years of confusion, their biological mothers have passed away, and they are just idle princes in the capital every day, and there are naturally new and interesting things that will rush to join in the fun.

But Xu Huo thinks that he has never had anything to do with these two imperial brothers, and there should be no reason for them to take him into the palace at this time.

What's even more unreasonable is that he didn't resist and was directly dragged away by them......

"The emperor has arrived!"

Xu Huo was still thinking about this reason, and suddenly heard this announcement, and immediately raised his head and followed the voice.

Emperor Qingning and Prince Xu Zhen walked almost side by side, only less than half a step apart, which shows that the father and son have a deep relationship.

And the next one followed by the father and son was the Marquis of Changwu.

Xu Hui was a little surprised in his heart, and his eyes subconsciously moved back again, only to see Huo Mingyou, the great hero of this Northern Expedition, and the girl of the Huo family who had not seen him for several days.

Although it looks dusty and tanned, a little face is still full of stubbornness, as if he is enduring something.

Xu Huo followed her line of sight and looked forward, vaguely feeling that she was looking at the crown prince Xu Zhen.

This girl is really interesting, not only hates him, but also hates the prince?

Since Emperor Qingning arrived, King Xuan and King Heping hurriedly came over to salute, "I've seen the imperial brother." ”

Xu Huo also shook his wheelchair and came over slowly, and Emperor Qingning immediately raised his hand to stop him, "Shaoling doesn't have to be tired, just stop there; The two royal brothers don't need to be polite. ”

Huo Yunqian, who was following behind, moved in his heart, Shaoling ...... Is that guy's little print?

Phew, why is she still thinking about this nonsense right now.

Xu Zhen, Changwuhou, and Huo Mingyou also paid tribute to the two princes.

King Xuan was the most anxious, and when the etiquette on both sides had passed, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what is the use of this thing, the two of us have been studying and pondering for a long time and don't know the mystery." ”

King Ping also echoed with a smile: "I heard that I relied on such a car to transport 400 catties of grain alone, and my brother really wanted to open his eyes." ”

Xu Zhen was about to step forward to show off, but was suddenly secretly pulled by the sleeve of Changwu Hou.

He was puzzled in his heart, and glanced sideways at his uncle, but Changwu Hou still didn't squint, but shook his head slightly almost invisibly.

Emperor Qingning smiled: "I am also very curious, so I brought Miss Huo San, it is better to let her show it to everyone." ”

Xu Huo grinned silently, and also learned from the second king of Xuanping, showing a curious and expectant look and waiting to see.

Huo Yun came out of the queue and said lightly: "It's ugly." He turned his head and motioned to a few eunuchs nearby, "Please ask a few fathers-in-law to come and stand on this car for a while." ”

Xian Desheng asked Emperor Qingning for instructions, and then he beckoned to the little eunuchs, and they dared to come over and carefully climb into the car.

Because of the narrow body, after standing three people, they were a little cramped, and it was extremely funny to huddle together, which made King Xuan couldn't help laughing, "What is this going to do, stacking Arhats?" ”

Huo Yun suddenly came up with inspiration, "Actually, it can be more open." ”

She commanded: "Two more fathers-in-law, carried by the father-in-law below—rest assured, this 'cow' will be able to withstand it." ”

Several eunuchs looked at Emperor Qingning and Xian Desheng together, and Emperor Qingning smiled, "Since craftsmen are not worried about their things breaking, why are you so timid?" ”

And so two more went up, and the total was five.

Several eunuchs were of different ages, except for two who seemed to be less than twenty, the rest were all in the prime of life, and their combined weight was far more than four hundred catties.

Huo Yunqian stepped forward, and everyone's eyes fell on her.

Xu Huo stared at her deeply, and he hurried back to Beijing before the wooden cow was finished, before he could see her actually use this thing.

The five of them hugged each other tremblingly, staring closely at Huo Yunqian's movements, for fear that she would overturn the car if she missed.

Huo Yunqian's hand was on the handlebar, and there was no other fancy action, he grabbed the handlebar at will and began to push, walking lightly.

"This-five people, I'm afraid it's more than 600 pounds! Is it really that easy? King Xuan shouted, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, "Come on, come on, this king will also try it well." ”

Huo Yunqian happily let go of Rang Xian, and King Xuan took the handlebar and pushed it to play, which was very enjoyable.

Emperor Qingning looked at King Xuan, who was having a lot of fun, and suddenly remembered what Marquis Changwu had just said.

If they can be equipped with such things, the efficiency of grain transportation will inevitably be raised to a higher level in the future, which is really a blessing of great enlightenment.

Not to mention, there are other devices that this girl may have in her head-

Suddenly, the girl's voice brought Emperor Qingning back to his senses.

"Lord Wang, please see, this 'wooden cow' has other skills."

Huo Yunqian walked to the side of the "car" and opened the hidden compartment on the handlebar, "You can put tobacco or kettles in it, or dry food, and you can use it when you are hungry and thirsty." ”

She turned on the mechanism of the handlebar on the other side and erected a bamboo tube-like thing, "If it's too dry, you can stick the bamboo umbrella in this tube trough to shade the sun." ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!" King Xuan laughed, and immediately asked the palace maid next to him to take an umbrella and put it in, and shook his head under the umbrella again and again, provoking King Ping to come over and rush to change his position.

Marquis Changwu wasted no time in smiling and said, "Your Majesty, seeing that the two princes are having such a good time, you have to reward this little girl." ”

Emperor Qingning was still staring at the two princes over there, but he replied: "Now that I see this 'wooden cow' with my own eyes, I feel that Miss Huo San's words have some truth......

The smile on Changwuhou's face froze, and he looked at Xu Zhen next to him suspiciously.

Xu Zhen made an "iron" with his mouth.

Marquis Changwu's brows furrowed, and Emperor Qingning had already spoken again: "Huo Yunqian listens to the seal." ”

Huo Yunqian immediately left Muniu and came to Emperor Qingning to respectfully worship him: "The courtier Huo Yunqian took the order." ”

"Today, the Huo family has outstanding talents, made great contributions in the Northern Expedition, was named the lord of Ningsu County, rewarded a thousand gold, and was specially admitted to the Shaofu Examination Office."

Shaofu is one of the nine kings, in charge of the imperial finances, and is in charge of clothing, food, utensils, medicine, entertainment, funeral and other affairs and palace handicrafts, but the institution is large, there are more subordinate officials, and the examination office is one of the places where the equipment is made.

Although there are records of women in the Qi Dynasty, after all, they are only a few, and most of them are civil officials or court officials related to prisons, and there has never been a person who has entered the examination room!

For a moment, only the sound of the wind and the noisy chirping of insects and birds remained in the garden.
