When he learned that the toy Zhu Ying was referring to was a gun, Liu Zhi trembled with fright.

"Uncle! You'd better spare the slave and maid! You can't make muskets in this palace! ”

"If you let the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince know that it was the slave maid who took your two masters to the Creation Division, then the slave maid's head will have to move!"

"What are you worried about?! I said it, it's a toy gun, and there is no need for gunpowder at all! ”

Zhu Ying also knew that it was impossible to make muskets in the palace, and those things came from the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau outside the palace.

However, he is extremely strong in thinking and hands-on.

When he was a child, he learned about the structural combination of firearms and the shooting principle of bullets by disassembling toy guns, so that he could make simple toy guns.

As he grew up, he became more convicted, unlocked more gun-making techniques, and made replica firearms more realistic and more lethal.

Therefore, with the skills he mastered, it was not difficult for the craftsmen to make a toy gun that could shoot wooden bullets according to his requirements, using the tools and materials of the Creation Division.

Liu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

Serving the emperor's eldest grandson for many years, he understands the character of the little master.

This little prince, he has done a lot of naughty things, which is really worry-free.

Soon, Zhu Ying and the others came to the Creation Division.

It's not a big place, and only a few eunuchs are working.

Liu Zhi stepped forward.

"Let's stop what we are doing and come to meet the uncle and the third master!"

The eunuchs all looked panicked, and then quickly knelt down and bowed.

There are hundreds of eunuchs large and small in the palace.

There are eunuchs in front of the palace who specialize in serving the members of the royal family closely, and there are also eunuchs in the palace who don't have to meet with the members of the royal family for the rest of their lives.

There are various departments, and everyone has their own duties.

Most of the utensils and supplies in the palace were purchased from outside, and only a very small number came from the Creation Division.

If something goes wrong with the quality of what they make, they are responsible.

Therefore, these eunuchs working in the Creation Division are the last thing they want to see the royal family.

Because sometimes, seeing it once is deadly.

"Don't be nervous, everyone! Get up! ”

After the eunuchs got up, the old eunuch in the lead asked softly:

"Uncle, if you want something, just let them pass on the word. Why bother you to come here in person? ”

"Master, you don't know, this thing I want to make needs you to cooperate with me to complete it!"

Everyone was amazed.

This was the first time they had seen the emperor's eldest grandson, and they didn't expect him to be so approachable at such a young age.

Subsequently, Zhu Ying ordered someone to bring a pen and paper and drew a sketch of the toy gun he was going to make.

He also marked the shape and size of each part and the materials required.

It is a half-meter-long single-shot toy gun.

"Uncle! When did you get to this? The slave has served you for five years, and I've never seen you like this! That's amazing! The slave is a long insight! ”

Not only Liu Zhi, but even the craftsmen couldn't help but admire.

This detailed design is like the work of a child who is only eight or nine years old?

"Uncle, is this a firearm that another country pays tribute to the emperor? That's not right, the slaves haven't heard of them having such firearms! ”

Zhu Ying pursed her lips and smiled.

"You don't care so much! Don't worry, just do what I ask you to do! ”

For the craftsmen, it is not difficult.

Just do the parts as required.

After it is done, it will be assembled by Zhu Ying herself.

But they didn't dare to do it.

The toy gun that Zhu Ying asked them to make was more dangerous than anything they had ever done before.

And it's for a four-year-old.

In case Zhu Yunxi used this thing to hurt someone in the palace and provoked the emperor's anger, then they committed the crime of killing their heads.

Zhu Ying also saw their worries, so she swore and said:

"Don't worry! All the consequences are my personal responsibility, and you have nothing to do with you! If something happens, I'll take care of you! ”

After Zhu Ying appeased those craftsmen and eunuchs, he told Zhu Yunxi:

"Little brother, this toy gun that my brother made for you, you must not shoot at people, remember?"

Zhu Yunxi raised his little head and replied with a serious face:

"Got it, brother! I use it to hit birds, leaves, and stones, but I can't hit people! ”

"Well, that's good!"

The eunuchs were a little relieved.

Afterwards, Zhu Ying took them to work.

It took nearly two hours to get the toy gun ready.

The finished product is quite impressive.

The body of the gun is decorated with delicate patterns, and it is also painted with lacquer, and the word "熥" is engraved on it.

Zhu Ying personally demonstrated.

Pull the trigger, and a wooden conical bullet is fired.

Ten meters away, a shot hit the target.

Everyone was stunned.

Just in case, in the process of production, Zhu Ying deliberately weakened its power.

got the toy gun, Zhu Yunxi was very excited and tried a few shots.

After leaving the Division of Creation, the brothers ate dinner together and slept in the same bed again at night.

When Zhu Yunxi slept, he was still holding the toy gun given to him by his brother.

Zhu Biao helped his father deal with government affairs and didn't come back until late.

He was relieved to see that the brothers were asleep.

In Zhu Biao's memory, this is the first time that the eldest son has allowed his younger brother to sleep in his bed.

In the past few days, the eldest son has suffered a lot of sins.

But he grew up seemingly overnight.

This reminded Zhu Biao of the brothers' biological mother, Chang.

If only she were alive!

"you, do you see that? I know, this time it must be you who protect Xiongying! It must be ......."

~~~~~

The other side.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had finished handling political affairs, returned to the dormitory and found that Queen Ma was not asleep.

"Girl, why haven't you slept so late?"

"I can't sleep! You're tired today, aren't you? ”

"Not tired! When I saw Ying'er wake up, I was full of energy! Ha ha! By the way, Ying'er was okay later, right? ”

"He's fine! After waking up, he played with Xi'er all afternoon, and in the evening the brothers went to bed early and slept in the same bed! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was even happier.

"That's a good feeling!"

Queen Ma nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes! How do I feel that this eldest grandson is sensible all of a sudden! After you left, he asked me a strange question, about smallpox! ”

Hearing smallpox, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but tremble.

In the past, he had seen the power of this thing in the barracks, and many soldiers infected with the smallpox virus had died.

"Why is he asking this?!"

"I don't know!"

"Sister, our eldest grandson is the one who will be the emperor in the future, so he has to spend more energy on education, and there is no need to worry about other inconsequential things."

"Got it! I'll talk to him tomorrow! Let's sleep! ”

The next day.

When Zhu Ying woke up, she didn't see Zhu Yunxi's figure, but she saw Queen Ma and Imperial Doctor Chen guarding the bedside.

"Grandma, why are you here? What about Yoon-hee? ”

"He went to play in the back garden, and I didn't wake you up when I saw you were asleep. Come! Let Imperial Doctor Chen help you take the pulse again and see if there is any discomfort. ”

"Grandma, no need! I'm fully recovered! However, Imperial Physician Chen came just in time, and there is something I want to discuss with him! ”

As he spoke, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in.

"Why are you so flustered?!"

"Her Royal Highness the Empress Qiqi, uncle! Something happened! The third master injured the second master with that toy gun!"
