The eunuchs of the Qin Heavenly Prison have been complaining for a few days, and Lord Zhou Hongmo, when he recently inspected the assembly of the geokinetic instrument, became angry because the progress was too slow, and asked all the prisoners and craftsmen to stop bathing, work overtime, and complete the assembly and complete the first test before the end of the month.

Zhang Yue, as the main person in charge, was urged by Zheng Jianzheng every day. There was no way, so she had to explain the situation to Li Dongyang, and moved to the rest room prepared for her by Zheng in Qintianjian with her luggage.

She originally wanted to keep Xiaotong in the Li Mansion, but she didn't want Xiaotong's girl to have to go to Qin Tianjian with Zhang Yue to take care of her daily life. Zhang Yueao couldn't help it, so she had to let her live with her as a domestic servant in Qintianjian.

Zhang Yue, Yang and Ma rushed to the construction deadline for several days in a row. The overtime work over the past few days has paid off, and most of the assembly of the ground motion instrument has been completed.

On this day, Zhang Yue worked with Yang and Ma in the Stargazing Pavilion as usual, Yang Jianhou installed a few small parts, and Zhang Yue took the drawings and Ma Jianhou to check the connection of the devices one by one. The king of the main hall came in a hurry and announced loudly in the hall,

"I just received an order from the Ministry of Rites, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to inspect Qin Tianjian today, and Supervisor Zheng is having an order, all kinds of maintenance projects in the official office are suspended today, and the officials on duty will rest for a day, and only one will be left in each hall for the secretary and the supervisor."

Zhang Yue's heart jumped with joy, it's great that he can rest today. At this time, Wang Zhubo walked in front of Zhang Yue and the three of them, and said faintly, "Lord Zheng has specially instructed that the assemblers of the geodynamic instrument must not rest, and everything is as usual." ”

After speaking, the royal lord Bo looked at the three people with sweaty faces sympathetically, and went out silently.

Zhang Yue stomped his feet, "Hmph, the prison is really crazy!" I've been exhausted for the past few days. ”

Supervisor Yang patted Zhang Yue's shoulder, "Brother Zhang, don't complain, Lord Zheng is also forced to do so, Lord Zhou is urging him tightly, even on an important day like His Royal Highness the Prince's inspection of Qin Tianjian, he is not willing to stop work, I know how much Lord Zhou attaches importance to this project!" Let's get to work. ”

Ma Jian Hou wiped the sweat from his head and echoed, "That's it, let's get to work!" It is better to finish it early than to deliver it early. ”

Zhang Yue had no choice but to continue working, secretly slandering Zhou Hongmo in her heart, thinking that when she wrote a letter to her aunt, she must sue Zhou Hongmo for a big deal. Not to mention finding her a drudgery, she also worked like a laborer every day.

When it was close to noon, Ma Jianhou glanced at the carving leak next to him, and said to the other two, "It's almost noon, let's take a break and go to lunch, right?" ”

Zhang Yue immediately raised his hand in approval. Sitting on the ground, resting his feet, there were voices and footsteps outside the Star Pavilion, and someone shouted loudly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here in the Star Pavilion!" Everyone knelt down to greet them. In the direction of the door, a group of people gathered in a red figure came in. Zhang Yue was watching, Yang Supervisor Hou was the first to react, pulled Zhang Yue, and knelt down, Zhang Yue and Ma Supervisor Hou also knelt down and lowered their heads. The footsteps of this group of people came from far and near, and Zhang Yue was the first to hear Zheng Jianzheng's voice, "Your Highness, please here, this is the armillary sphere, the copper ball in the middle is engraved with twenty-eight nights, and under the copper ball is a two-level leaky pot, which controls the muddy phenomenon with the flowing water of the leaky pot, and the five senses on duty every day, Lingtai Lang and Si Li, will record the changes in the celestial phenomena of the day, and divination is auspicious and ......."

Zheng Jian Zheng was still introducing, "Your Highness, please come here." ”

Zhang Yue saw many pairs of boots appear in front of him, one of which was embroidered with a lifelike four-clawed golden dragon.

"This is the latest instrument designed by Zhou Hongmo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to measure the geography of mountains and rivers, it is still under construction, it has not yet taken shape, these kneeling are the builders of this instrument, in order to catch up with the schedule, they have been working day and night for a long time."

"You have worked hard for the court, you don't have to kneel, get up." A soft voice sounded, I don't know why, Zhang Yue always felt that this voice was a little familiar.

Zheng Jian Zheng hurriedly said, "Your Highness is gracious, I won't let you kneel to greet you, hurry up!" ”

Zhang Yue's kneeling knee hurt, hearing that she didn't have to continue kneeling, she stood up the first one after rubbing, and in an instant, the eyes of other people present all fell on her, one of the sights was particularly hot, Zhang Yue looked along this line of sight, when she saw the face of the owner of this line of sight, Zhang Yue was really stunned, this is a face that makes Zhang Yue feel both familiar and unfamiliar, familiar is the handsome face and gentle and quiet eyes, still like a fairy descending to earth, the strange thing is that this person is wearing a wing crown at this time, He wears a red robe with narrow sleeves and a round-necked robe, with a four-clawed dragon motif on the chest and shoulders, and an eight-jade jade belt around his waist. He looked at Zhang Yue's eyes and flashed the complex emotions of shock, joy and doubt for a moment, and then his eyes returned to calm.

"Such as..." Zhang Yue was stupid and almost wanted to call out Ji Rumo's name, but suddenly came to his senses and lowered his head suddenly, no matter how stupid he was, he knew Ji Rumo's true identity at this time, and the most correct thing to do now is to be silent and pretend to be stupid.

Zheng Jianzheng's flattering voice appeared again, "Your Highness, there are so many instruments in the Star Viewing Pavilion, and there is also a water transport instrument elephant platform in the planetarium next to it, which is cleverly designed, please move to the planetarium with Your Highness." ”

Zhang Yue lowered his head and saw the owner of the pair of leather boots embroidered with a four-clawed golden dragon in front of him slowly leave, and the time for half a pillar of incense was less, and there was still a group of people in the Stargazing Pavilion just now, and there were only three people left, Zhang Yue, Yang, and Ma.

Everything happened in the electric light, Zhang Yue felt like he was in a dream, Ma Jian Hou saw that Zhang Yue was still standing there in a daze, came over and patted Zhang Yue on the shoulder, and teased, "Brother Zhang, are you still in a daze, hehe, was you stopped by His Royal Highness the Prince's Long Wei?" ”

Zhang Yue came to his senses, and played haha with Yang and Ma, and all kinds of thoughts poured into his mind, and finally converged into one thought - Rumo was actually the prince of the dynasty...... By the way, the third senior brother seems to be a subordinate official of the prince of the East Palace, they are so familiar, and the senior brother is very respectful to Rumo. Zhang Yue suddenly felt like a fool.

That night, Zhang Yue did not stay in Qintianjian and returned to Li's house, Liu was very happy to see her come back, and she specially asked the kitchen to make a few more dishes that Zhang Yue loved to eat. Zhang Yue had a heart and did not eat much. At dinner, in the face of Li Dongyang, he wanted to speak several times but did not ask. After dinner, Zhang Yue wandered around the house, and finally made up his mind to go to Li Dongyang's study, usually after dinner, Li Dongyang had to be alone in the study for a while.

When Zhang Yue entered Li Dongyang's study, Li was reading a book, saw Zhang Yue come in, put down the book in his hand, beckoned Zhang Yue to sit down, and before Zhang Yue could speak, Li asked, "Say, what do you want to tell me?" ”

Zhang Yue said in a low voice, "Senior brother, it's like a ...... What exactly does he do? ”

Li Dongyang's eyes were firmly fixed on Zhang Yue, and after a while, he said, "Little Wu, you already know, don't you?" ”
