When he came to the main hall, Jia Lian saw that it was Su Cheng who was delivering the message, but he was really surprised.

Of the three great eunuchs in the inner palace, Xia Shouzhong generally stayed in Fengzao Palace and did the queen's errands. Su Cheng is in charge of CRRC Mansion and usually doesn't show up in front of people. Therefore, it is Dai Quan who is really responsible for communicating inside and outside and conveying the holy order.

This is also the reason why Dai Quan is called the inner minister.

However, Jia Lian knew that when it came to the power he held and the emperor's holy family, Su Cheng, the great eunuch, was stronger than Dai Quan.

"Grandpa Su, why did you come out in person today?" Jia Lian smiled and went up to say hello.

Su Cheng also smiled and saluted Jia Lian, he and Xia Shouzhong actually had a good impression of Jia Lian.

Because Jia Lian is different from ordinary Wenchen Wuxun, he never looks at them with strange eyes. This equality and respect is something they don't feel in other people.

However, Dai Quan doesn't seem to like Jia Lian, and Jia Lian doesn't like him.

"Say hello to Master Hou." Su Cheng made a bow. Jia Lian hurriedly held on.

"Don't, I said Lao Su, you are trying to harm me. I can't afford to bow to me, you, the big man in the inner palace. ”

Su Cheng smiled and didn't say much. After all, it's the residence of the Cabinet Vice-Minister.

"Master Hou, just now the big ball that can fly into the sky was seen by the emperor, and the emperor ordered you to enter the palace."

Chen Menglei, who was behind him, sighed, and quickly turned his head and ordered: "Load that lantern into the car and send it to the palace." ”

Then he turned his head and said, "Father-in-law Su, Lian'er is not sensible and doesn't know the severity, I have already reprimanded him." We handed over this lantern to the emperor, and asked my father-in-law to say a few kind words in front of the emperor. ”

After speaking, Chen Menglei ordered him to change his clothes, obviously preparing to accompany Jia Lian into the palace together.

Jia Lian was very moved to watch from the side, and the Chen family's love for him was sincere. Even if he likes this hot air balloon so much, no one said anything when Chen Menglei said that he was sent to the palace just now, but just looked at Jia Lian worriedly.

Su Cheng also smiled: "Chen Ge don't worry, the emperor said that since it is a birthday gift from the old lady from the Marquis Rong, he naturally will not ask for it, and he has no intention of punishing the Marquis Rong."

Of course, it also depends on whether Ronghou can satisfy him. What do you say? Hou Ye. Su Cheng conveyed Emperor Longzheng's words to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian understood as soon as he heard it: "Father-in-law, don't worry, now those few people in the family should have been sent to the palace gate." Let's go now. ”

He turned back to Chen Menglei and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I have made three kinds of flying lanterns." Now a sample of each was sent to the palace. ”

Chen Menglei was relieved, and after thinking about it, he also felt that he was confused, just with the transparency of Jia Lian, a little fox, how could he not be ready to deal with the emperor.

"Then I'll rest assured, you can go." Chen Menglei didn't plan to accompany Jia Lian into the palace together.

When he arrived in front of the Zichen Palace, Jia Lian really found that the three hot air balloons sent by his family had been placed on the imperial court.

Empress Song and Jia Yuanchun, whose belly was already a little bulging, stood aside, looking at these new toys made by Jia Lian.

Emperor Long Zheng put his hands behind his back and looked at the three lanterns that had not yet been inflated, how to look at them and how they looked familiar.

"It's just so that you're here, Jia Lian, I ask you, why do I think this thing looks so much like Kong Ming lantern?"

When Jia Lian heard Emperor Longzheng's question, he gave a thumbs up: "Emperor Shengming, in the final analysis, this thing is actually an enlarged Kong Ming lantern." ”

Emperor Longzheng was directly confused by Jia Lian.

"Poof, Jia Lian, shouldn't you try your best to make this thing a little taller. In this way, the emperor may give you more rewards. Empress Song stepped forward at this time and said.

Jia Lian twitched the corners of his mouth, but still said righteously: "Niangniang, the minister has not learned much since he tied his hair, but the servant remembers the words sincerity. ”

These shameless words not only made Song Houqi's toothache, but even Emperor Longzheng was a little unbearable.

"Okay, let's talk about how to use this thing. I also let go of Kong Ming lanterns, is this thing coming from like that? ”

"Not exactly, I'll demonstrate it." Jia Lian stepped forward and began to tinker with the smallest Kong Ming lantern, oh no, hot air balloons.

Sure enough, the originally flat hot air balloon slowly puffed up and turned into the shape of a large lantern.

"Emperor, that's what it looks like." Jia Lian jumped off after finishing it.

"How many people can fit this thing?" Emperor Longzheng asked with interest.

"This is the smallest, it can hold two, and the two over there can hold three people and five people, respectively."

Jia Lian looked at Emperor Longzheng with some worry, for fear that Emperor Longzheng would say that I would go to heaven.

To be honest, although this hot air balloon has been made as safe as possible, it is still dangerous due to the limitations of the technology of this era.

Jia Lian dared to fly with Old Madam Chen, because he could control it himself. If something is wrong, it can be resolved as soon as possible.

But if he really took the emperor to the sky, Emperor Longzheng came to fly around Shenjing, Jia Lian really didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Emperor Long Zheng didn't seem to plan to go up by himself, but listened with great interest to Jia Lian's introduction of these hot air balloons.

"So, you didn't just design these flying lanterns to celebrate Mr. Chen's wife's birthday, right?" After listening to Jia Lian's introduction, Emperor Longzheng joked about Jia Lian with a smile.

"I should say that I have all of them, and I just made this thing this year before my grandmother's birthday, so I used it."

Seeing that the two of them entered the imperial study while talking, Empress Song looked at Yuan Chun helplessly: "Yes, the emperor saw that Jia Lian forgot about the two of us, let's go back." ”

Yuan Chun was also a little helpless, originally Emperor Longzheng called the two of them to say that there were good things. Yuan Chun thought that Jia Lian had made something good.

As a result, Jia Lian came and introduced the purpose of this thing. After keenly perceiving that this flying lantern was of great use, Emperor Long Zheng immediately forgot about the two of them.

Empress Song and Concubine Jia returned to the harem without mentioning it, and in the imperial study, after listening to Jia Lian's idea, Emperor Longzheng became completely serious.

"Jia Lian, you are really careless. As you said, this thing is not only useful in disaster relief, river control, etc., but can also be used in the military.

Such a militaristic heavy weapon, you just casually take it out for a test flight? You know, it's not safe in this god capital! ”

Jia Lian smiled, and before he could speak, he heard Su Cheng report at the door that the five ministers of the Military Aircraft Department asked to see each other.

"See, the generals of the empire are still very good. Now they're coming to the door, explain it yourself. ”

Jia Lian's face was bitter: "Emperor, although I am also a martial artist, but now I am a powerless talent."

Xiucai met Bing, and he couldn't explain it. ”
