Chapter 510 Longyan Joy
"Exactly." Wei Jin also gave an affirmative answer.
Hearing this, the officials became more and more nervous, their eyes staring straight at the whole box of Thunderbolt bombs.
The emperor continued to ask: "Where did you get it? As far as I know, the Yu Heng Qing officials have not been able to research the method of making this thunderbolt."
"It's my son's concubine who found a way to make them, and made some of them according to this method, and dedicated them to my father." Wei Jin also replied.
Hearing this, the eyes of the emperor and the officials all fell on Wei Ruo.
Everyone's eyes were full of astonishment and disbelief.
The surprise in Chu Heng's eyes was the most obvious when he was closer.
On the contrary, Chu Lan, who was sitting opposite Wei Ruo, looked much calmer than the others.
Because if his guess is correct, if Princess Rui and Xu Heyou are the same person, he would not feel any surprise that Princess Rui can do these things.
"Is this what Princess Rui is looking for?" The emperor asked Wei Ruo.
"Yes." Wei Ruo stood up and answered.
"Did you get the method of making it, not the already made thunderbolt?" The emperor confirmed to Wei Ruo.
"Yes." Wei Ruo replied.
"How to find it?"
"The concubine learned about thunderbolt bombs from my father. The Lu mansion exploded that day, and the concubine also collected the remnants afterwards. Based on this, I deduced the production method. With some luck, God bless the cause, I really let the concubine try it. Come out." Wei Ruo replied.
When Wei Ruo said this, everyone was shocked.
Everyone was amazed.
Princess Rui still has this ability? What Yu Hengqing's officials have spent so much effort to do, but let a woman do it?
Chu Heng stared at Wei Ruo intently, his eyes full of surprise and annoyance.
Chu Lan stared at Wei Ruo with deeper eyes.
The emperor continued to ask Wei Ruo after a while: "Then what about the copper thing on the side?"
"This is a heavy-duty front-loading smoothbore gun, which can be filled with thunderbolt bullets, which increases the range of thunderbolt bullets, which is several times longer than that of manual throwing." Wei Ruo explained.
Everyone was shocked again.
How can there be such a thing?
Wei Ruo knew why everyone was so surprised. In this world, copper cannons have not yet appeared. Compared with the simple firearms they used before, copper cannons have directly crossed a level.
The emperor continued to ask Wei Ruo: "Where did you get this thing?"
"It was made by the concubine according to the drawings drawn by the concubine's master." Wei Ruo replied.
"Your master?"
"Yes, I raised myself in the mountains when I was a child. When I was seven years old, I met a master of heavenly crafts. With the consent of my parents, I worshiped him as my teacher. It's just that I was young at that time and only learned a few superficial things. Now that I grow up, Only then can I get a little understanding of the meaning in the drawings left by Master." Wei Ruo replied.
Wei Ruo specifically emphasized that he was young at that time, and it was not too outrageous to learn from a teacher when he was young.
As for her childhood experience, as long as it is not too outrageous, she can make it up as much as she wants, and the Wei family has to cooperate with her in lying, unless they want the world to know that Wei Qingwan is not the biological child of the Wei family.
It is well known that Wei Ruo lived in the countryside when she was young, and when everyone knew that she was going to become Princess Rui, they had already inquired about her past clearly.
Wei Ruo's speech made all the ministers including the emperor look incredulous towards Wei Ruo.
After listening to Wei Ruo's entire explanation, the emperor said: "If this thing is really as powerful as you said, I will reward you well!"
"The concubines dare not ask for rewards. The concubines and the prince only hope to do their part for the common people. If they can defeat the Japanese pirates with this thing, they will be satisfied." Wei Ruo replied.
"Okay, okay!" The Emperor's Longyan was very happy, and said "Okay" twice, "Prince Rui and Princess Rui have a heart! This is the best gift I have received this year!"
Others only paid their blessings verbally, but Prince Rui actually took out a big gift to help the emperor solve his problems!
How can the emperor not like it?
Then the emperor raised his wine glass: "May God bless my great cause!"
The ministers hurriedly stood up, raised their wine glasses and seconded: "May God bless the great cause!"
Chu Lan was looking at Wei Ruo when he was holding the wine glass.
Wei Ruo felt this fiery gaze, but she chose to ignore it.
Chu Lan's attitude towards her will not affect what she has to do.
Chu Heng on the side also changed his previous attitude and looked at Wei Ruo several times.
He has no interest in women, so he never cares if Wei is a charming beauty or a vulgar fan, but today, Princess Rui gave him too much surprise.
His appreciation for Princess Rui has surpassed his appreciation for women.
After the climax of Prince Rui and his wife's gift, the subsequent singing and dancing seemed dull.
Until the end of the banquet, everyone was still full of curiosity and surprise about the gift from Prince Rui and his wife.
The emperor took Concubine Qi and Concubine Hui to leave the venue, and the rest of the people also got up and left.
Wei Qingwan on the seat had a pale face, as if she had been cast with a hold spell.
King Yu and Princess Yu were about to leave, but she was still sitting there in a daze, motionless.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Qi Shijing noticed something was wrong with Wei Qingwan, she reached out and touched Wei Qingwan's arm.
Wei Qingwan was startled suddenly, her eyes were full of horror, she didn't come back to herself until she saw that the person in front of her was Qi Shijing.
"I... my concubine..." Wei Qingwan panicked and forgot how to respond.
"What's wrong with you? Did your sister scare you?" Qi Shijing asked with concern.
"No...not..."
Wei Qingwan didn't hear the Thunderbolt very clearly, she was completely shocked by Prince Rui's appearance at that time.
Prince Rui looks very much like Wei Jinyi!
But Wei Jin is also the **** son of the Wei family, and he is already dead!
Perhaps the lights on the square are not bright, and with some distance, she misread it?
Or maybe there are similarities in people, this Prince Rui just looks a bit like Wei Jinyi?
"Let's talk about it when we go back to the palace." Qi Shijing said to Wei Qingwan.
"Yes." Wei Qingwan was still a little distracted.
Old Master Wei and Mrs. Wei were far away, so they did not see Prince Rui's face like Wei Qingwan did.
The two elders stood up with the help of their maids, and they were surrounded by the crowd as they planned to return home.
Everyone warmly congratulated the two.
"Uncle is so lucky!"
"Princess Rui actually has such abilities, it's a great blessing to me!"
"Uncle is far-sighted!"
"Uncle, I hope you will raise more points in the future..."
"..."
Old Master Wei and Mrs. Wei could only respond one by one with a smile, happy on the face, but a little guilty in the heart.
Because they just learned about these things about their granddaughter today.
Back to Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion, the already exhausted elders did not wash up and fall asleep under the service of servants, but ordered someone to notify their son and daughter-in-law, and summoned them all to Shou'an Hall.
