Chapter 344: A Hunting Trip
Lu Yue smiled slightly when she heard this, bowed to the emperor and said, "If you go back to the emperor, the courtiers have ~"
When the emperor heard this, he immediately became happy, and said with a smile: "Okay, Princess Qin really lives up to my expectations~"
"The emperor has won the award~" Lu Yue smiled and saluted slightly.
The three of them entered the hall a few times, walked to the table, Lu Yue took the wooden box from Lu'er's hand and opened the box.
Lu Yue directly took out three drawings from it and spread them on the table, the emperor and the craftsman Wang glanced at the drawings, and instantly looked at Lu Yue with a little shock.
I saw the first picture placed on the table, which was the original picture given to Lu Yue by the emperor, and what was surprising was that the other two pictures were exactly the same as the wooden car drawn on the first drawing.
The emperor looked at Lu Yue with a smile and said, "Lu Yue, I didn't expect you to be able to draw so fascinated, it's really good~"
"Oops, this painting is exactly the same~" Grandpa Cao couldn't help but exclaim.
Even Craftsman Wang had known Lu Yue's skills for a long time, but seeing that Lu Yue's paintings were so realistic, he was still a little curious and exploratory.
"The emperor has won the award" Lu Yue bowed slightly, and presented the second drawing to the emperor with both hands.
After the emperor took it with a smile, he picked up the drawing and looked at it, only to see that in addition to the original wooden car, Lu Yue had also made a lot of modifications on the drawing, and even made some marks.
The emperor gave a look, and Cao Gonggong on the side picked up the first drawing, and after he checked it up and down, he found that Lu Yue actually changed the shape of the flat wooden car he had drawn before to a circle, just like the wheels of the wooden car.
There was also a stand next to the car, which looked a little strange.
The emperor pointed to one place and said, "Why did you change this to a round stand?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, this is to make it more convenient when the waterwheel is running~" Lu Yue bowed and said.
"Then this is..."The emperor looked at Lu Yue, and Lu Yue immediately stepped forward and explained: "If you go back to the emperor, this is the bracket that fixes the waterwheel~"
"Waterwheel??" When the emperor heard this name, his eyes lit up, good name, although this car has a model, but it is not a real car, it is excited by the water and turns the wheel, and everyone is carrying water, well~ called a water wheel, but it is really appropriate~
Lu Yue nodded with a smile, she picked up the third drawing from the table and held it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please take a look~"
I saw that the emperor saw the third one, which was called an amazement, because Lu Yue's third drawing was accurately written, how should this waterwheel be made?
For example, how tall should this waterwheel be, how many wooden spokes are needed, and how many axles are needed to support it~
The emperor was excited after reading it, for so many years he wanted to make this to help the people irrigate the fields, but he always felt that it was a little worse, and now when he looked at Lu Yue's drawing, he suddenly understood something.
Lu Yue's drawing made him see hope, and he had a faint hunch in his heart that Lu Yue's drawing would definitely be able to make the waterwheel he wanted~
The emperor looked at Lu Yue with a faintly excited expression, looked at Lu Yue and said: "Lu Yue, if this waterwheel can be done well, I will definitely reward you~"
Hearing this, the corners of Lu Yue's mouth curved slightly, and she bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Yue doesn't dare to take credit, as long as the people can prevent this drought and flood disaster from now on, it will be the emperor's grace~"
Lu Yue's words made the corners of the emperor's mouth rise, his eyes turned and fell on Craftsman Wang, and said: "You will make this waterwheel, and it will be completed in ten days~"
Craftsman Wang's eyes were fixed, and he said: "If you go back to the emperor, the grass people will live up to expectations"~
The emperor laughed when he heard this, and looked at Lu Yue and Wang Craftsman with kind eyes and said: "I have two of you skilled craftsmen in my Great Yuan Dynasty, which is really the blessing of my Great Yuan Dynasty~"
"The emperor has a good reputation~" Lu Yue and Wang Craftsman bowed.
The emperor waved his hand, signaling that the two of them did not need to be so polite, and the three of them sat down and discussed the construction period of the water truck, and it was best to do it before the rainstorm came, so that they could just use it.
Because the emperor still had political affairs, he said a few words to Lu Yue and Wang Craftsman, and then took Cao Da to the house.
Lu Yue and Craftsman Wang were left with drawings in their hands, and the two of them checked the wood in the courtyard, counting and registering at the same time, looking at whether the wood was enough?
It wasn't until the sun set in the west that Lu Yue left the palace with Lu'er.
————
Two days later, a hunt began with great fanfare.
In the early morning of this day, this hunt was led by Gu Changheng, the Fifth Highness, and Qin Mufeng, the prince of Qin, with two thousand guards battalions to the Xiguan Ranch at the foot of Wu Mountain.
There are a large number of people, which makes many people smack their tongues slightly, and the emperor of the capital is so excited because of the princess of the Beiyuan Kingdom~
I saw that at the front of the team were a group of cavalry, carrying bright red flags belonging to the Great Yuan Dynasty, fluttering in the wind.
The flag had the unique pattern of their Great Yuan Dynasty on it, and the flag dyed with other colors fluttered more cheerfully in the air.
In the middle were a few low-key and simple carriages, and the dignified Fifth Highness Gu Changheng and Qin Wangye led people to ride horses around several people's carriages.
Passing by the downtown area, everyone shouted excitedly: "Princess Helena, Princess Helena~"
When Helena heard this, she lifted the curtain, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and waved her hand at the people.
Behind was the carriage of Lu Yue and the county lord of Jiamin, hearing this movement, the county lord of Jiamin opened the curtain at once, and saw the scene in front of him, and suddenly said in a sour tone: "Cut~ Isn't it just a little more beautiful?"
"Poof" Lu Yue couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed out loud, in the staring gaze of the county lord of Jiamin, Lu Yue smiled at the corner of her mouth, and waved her hand again and again.
Behind the carriage, there were several carts with wooden boxes on them, Lu Yue didn't know what it was at first, but later it was the county lord of Jiamin who mysteriously leaned into Lu Yue's ear and said that those were Princess Helena's luggage.
Lu Yue's eyes showed a slight surprise, and Lord Jiamin muttered in a low voice on the side: "This Princess Helena is really more precious than the princess of my dynasty~"
Lu Yue bent the corners of her mouth when she heard this.
At the back of the convoy was a troop of soldiers, each with spears, running after the wagon, leading a flurry of killing.
The county lord of Jiamin, who was lifting the curtain and watching, was not paying attention, so he took a bite of soil, and immediately snorted several times and dropped the curtain.
Qin Mufeng rode on the horse, turned his gaze, and landed on one of the carriages from time to time, at this time, His Royal Highness Gu Changheng rode over on a horse, and saw Qin Mufeng looking away very calmly, his eyes flashed, and he teased: "Yo, just like this, you two are reluctant to separate~"
Qin Mufeng reined in the horse, glanced at Gu Changheng coldly, "Drive~" didn't say a word, and directly kicked the horse's belly and left.
As the convoy left the city, the shouts of the people gradually faded in, and all that came into everyone's ears along the way was the smell of fragrant grass and the hissing of insects and birds.
Lu Yue and Lord Jiamin sat in the carriage, and along the way, Lord Jiamin was as excited as a cute bird, chattering all the way.
Lu Yue just looked at Lord Jiamin with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she occasionally looked out of the front window, and through the gap in the curtain, she saw Qin Mufeng's every move.
The county lord of Jiamin said and saw that no one answered, and when she turned around, she found that Lu Yue was in a daze, she stopped talking for a while, the corners of her mouth curved, and she snickered to scare Lu Yue, but she was grabbed by Lu Yue, who had already found out, and the two suddenly laughed.
Qin Mufeng heard the laughter in the carriage, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a little smile.
The convoy traveled for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at Xiguan Ranch, Lu Yue was woken up by the county lord of Jiamin, she frowned and opened her eyes, and heard the county lord of Jiamin buzzing like a mosquito in her ears.
Lu Yue pressed the throbbing forehead, and saw that the county lord of Jiamin excitedly asked Lu'er to help her pack her baggage, and when it was done, the lord of Jiamin saw that Lu Yue still looked like he hadn't woken up, and chuckled, and said, "Lu Yue, I want to clean up my tent, and I'll look for you when it's over~"
Saying that, she waved her hand at Lu Yue, and when she saw Lu Yue hum, the county lord of Jiamin jumped out of the carriage and left.
Lu Yue frowned, pressed her forehead, and the next moment, Lu'er's cup of tea was directly delivered to her mouth, and Lu Yue opened her mouth to drink some, and then she felt a little better.
Lu'er helped Lu Yue press her forehead again, and only when Lu Yue came to her senses did Lu'er withdraw her hand.
"Miss, our tent is over there, should we go over now?" Lu'er said in a low voice.
Lu Yue sat up straight against the wall of the car, glanced at Lu'er, and hummed softly.
Lu'er hurriedly helped Lu Yue get out of the carriage, their tent had been built, Lu'er hurriedly helped Lu Yue into the tent, and saw that there was still tea ready to drink inside, so she immediately poured a cup for Lu Yue, but Lu Yue shook her head, looked at the bed, and motioned for Lu'er to help her go over to rest for a while.
Lu Yue lay down on the bed, and it didn't take long for her eyes to close and fall asleep.
On the side, Lu'er saw that her young lady was already asleep, so she lightly lowered the curtain for Lu Yue, and the person withdrew.
Not long after, Lu'er suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and she was about to stop it, but as soon as the curtain was lifted, Qin Mufeng's figure flashed and walked in.
He saw Lu'er guarding at the door, his eyes couldn't help but look into the tent, turned around, and after not seeing the figure he wanted to see, he looked at Lu'er with an inquiring gaze, Lu'er hurriedly lowered his head and saluted Qin Mufeng, and said, "If you go back to the prince, the princess should have been too tired some time ago, and she just fell asleep at this time." ”
Qin Mufeng nodded towards Lu'er, signaling that he understood, he walked to the bed in a few steps, lifted the curtain, and sure enough, he saw Lu Yue sleeping soundly.
Qin Mufeng saw that although Lu Yue had a tired look on his face, he looked pretty good~
His eyes fell on Lu Yue's face, and after a few turns, Qin Mufeng turned around and walked out, and when he passed by Lu'er, he stopped and said softly: "The princess is up, boil some soothing soup~"
"Yes, Lord Wang~" Lu'er bowed and watched Qin Mufeng leave.
Lu Yue slept until dusk, her eyelids moved, in the haze, it seemed that she also heard the voice of the county lord of Jiamin, she opened her eyelids with a pout, her eyes were dim, turned her head to look into the account, only to see that there was only a candle lit in the account, Lu'er and the county lord of Jiamin were muttering, I don't know what to say?
"Green ...... Lu'er" Lu Yue's throat was a little hoarse, her throat was dry and painful.
