Zhong Cui Palace.
These few days, Qimu Ge had been waiting for the emperor to come to her palace after court as usual.
However, the emperor had yet to arrive.
"Empress, don't wait. Ever since the emperor went to Ci Ning Palace, he has never come to our Zhong Cui Palace again.”
Qi Muge pouted and said,"The Emperor has promised me that he will definitely come to find me. Let's wait a little longer."”
"But it's already been a few days. Niangniang, don't wait anymore. The emperor must have taken a fancy to another harem woman.”
" He's only 10 years old," Qimu Ge said, blinking." Maybe he's been busy with government affairs recently. Let's wait and see today. Maybe he'll come?"”
Ji Xiang was helpless against Qi Muge's persistence, he could only sigh and tell Qi Muge the truth.
"Niangniang, the harem is saying that the Empress Dowager is choosing an auspicious day to hold a selection ceremony. This is to let the emperor choose the main palace to prepare.”
Qimu Ge widened his eyes and said,""Where did you get this information?"
"The harem has spread like wildfire. I was afraid that the Empress would be sad after hearing it, so I didn't tell you.”
"Idiot! How could you hide this kind of news? Forget it, forget it. I won't wait. That dragon is really despicable. He didn't keep his word. Bastard!”
Ji Xiang broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice,""Niangniang, lower your voice. If the eunuchs and serving girls outside the palace hear that you are disrespectful to the emperor, that will be a death sentence!”
"What did I say about the emperor?" The dragon I'm talking about is a little dragon, can't it?”
Qimu Ge angrily picked up a cute puppy from the ground.
"Right? Little Dragon?"
Ji Xiang was almost speechless. The empress she served was really bold and reckless, actually so brazenly mocking the emperor as a dog?
In this harem, was there anyone more daring than her master?
"Empress, what should we do now? You have just received the emperor's favor and now the empress dowager is going to hold a talent selection ceremony for the emperor. At that time, niangniang's position in the harem will…"
Qi Muge waved his hand and said,"Aiya, it's so annoying." You Han people are so troublesome. So be it if they choose a talent, they choose theirs. If they don't bring us to play, we'll take the initiative to play with Little Dragon. Little Dragon, don't you think so?"
Seeing that Qimu Ge was still in the mood to play with the dog, Ji Xiang was even more speechless. The master was not anxious, but what was the use of being anxious?
Perhaps all the beauties in the harem were waiting to see Qi Muge make a fool of himself.
Especially Beauty Xia, who had offended the emperor because of Qi Muge, she hated Qi Muge to the bone. She didn't know how she would take revenge in the future.
Ji Xiang was very clear that life in the palace would become more and more difficult.
……
Yangxin Palace Hall.
Zhu Qizhen was reading through the memorial. He asked the eunuch Zhao De to summon Yu Qian to ask about the underground weapons factory.
Yu Qian arrived at Yangxin Hall and immediately bowed."This official apologizes to the emperor.”
"Zhen An. I secretly asked you to manufacture the weapon half a year ago. How is the production going?”
"Reporting to the emperor. At present, the factory produced more than 100,000 firearms, 300 Hong Yi cannons, and a number of other firearms.”
"I remember that the Divine Arms Battalion should have firearms, right?”
"That's right."
"This batch of firearms that I asked you to produce is automatic. In the future, the safety factor of firearms will be higher than that of firearms. However, the weapons that had just been produced had not been tested yet. Send someone to conduct a rigorous test on this batch of firearms and cannons. When there are no problems with the test, distribute these weapons to the Divine Arms Battalion. If there are any problems, return them to the factory for improvement.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"I'm sorry, you must keep the matter of the weapons factory a secret from everyone except me. Do you understand?”
"I understand. The factory was secretly built underground. Other than a group of people that I trust, no one knows about the firearms produced by our Ming Dynasty.”
Zhu Qizhen nodded and waved at Yu Qian, signaling him to leave.
The improvement of military strength had always been the primary development task of Zhuqi Town.
The strength of a country depended on the strength of its army, and the strength of the army was reflected in the weapons it was equipped with.
Therefore, Zhu Qizhen attached great importance to the production of firearms this time, which was why he sent Yu Qian to forge them.
Yu Qian didn't disappoint him. The firearms were finally produced after half a year.
From now on, Great Ming's military power would be able to dominate the world!
No other country could match it!
Just as Zhu Qizhen continued to read through the memorials, the eunuch Zhao De's voice suddenly sounded from the entrance of Yangxin Palace Hall.""Empress, wait for this servant to go in and report before you go in…Empress! Your Majesty!"
Zhao De did not stop Qi Muge, and she had already barged into Yangxin Hall.
Zhao De stood in the hall, his body trembling."Emperor, this servant is sentenced to death for not stopping Consort Qi.”
"You may leave."
"Yes."
Zhao De quickly left Yangxin Palace Hall and closed the door.
When Qi Muge saw that only she and Zhu Qizhen were left in the hall, she suddenly came behind Zhu Qizhen and hooked her arms around his neck."Little Dragon, you haven't been to Zhong Cui Palace for a long time. Do you not want to play games with me anymore?”
After the incident at Ci Ning Palace, Zhu Qizhen had not gone to see Qi Muge for a few days.
He still remembered that Zhu Qizhen had promised Qi Muge back in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Now that he had broken his promise, Qimu Ge would definitely come to denounce him.
"I've been busy with government affairs recently. When I'm free, I'll go to Zhong Cui Palace to see you."”
"You liar! When children lie, their noses grow longer. Look, your nose is almost touching my face.”
Zhu Qizhen was amused by Qi Muge's words and asked,"Is my nose that long? If not, I will punish you for deceiving the sovereign.”
"Then you can punish me." I heard that the Empress Dowager is going to hold a talent selection ceremony for you. Your thoughts are no longer on me! Humph!"
