Chapter 192 Being a Nanny in the World of Palace Fighting 13
When the emperor heard the word "talent", he raised his eyebrows slightly.
In fact, ever since he learned about Shen Yuying's amazing talent, he has been unsure about how to treat her.
The appearance of this repeating crossbow made him feel at ease.
But right now, he wanted to hear the opinions of the court officials.
He said: "My dear ministers, do you know that the person who made this crossbow is a woman?"
A woman? The courtiers at the top of the Daqi court were all stunned.
After a while, the straightforward General Fan was the first to speak: "So what if there are women? We have many female doctors and heroes at our border.
He patted his chest and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't know how to place her, my Tiger Guards can reserve an official position for her."
He was calculating clearly in his mind: since this woman could create such a magical item as a repeating crossbow, who knows, she might be able to create something even better in the future.
If the person is in his army at that time, wouldn't he be able to use this good thing to his own camp with a clear conscience?
If other old men want it, they have to offer something good in exchange.
As soon as he said this, several generals who had not yet expressed their opinions suddenly became anxious.
We have known each other for decades, so who doesn't know what's going on in each other's minds?
Fan Xin, you are dreaming!
"Everyone knows that my Northern Frontier Army once had a female vanguard general, General Nie Hongying. General Nie was extremely brave, and the late emperor personally praised her for being as brave as a man." General Cheng stepped out and said loudly, "The Northern Frontier needs such talents!"
Minister of War, Lord Zhou: "I think it is inappropriate. This woman can make weapons like the crossbow. It is obvious that she is more good at studying than marching and fighting. In my opinion, the Ministry of War is very suitable for her."
The Minister of Industry had something to say: "In this case, she should be a talent of my Ministry of Industry."
"..."
The emperor sat at the top and watched them arguing.
After Prime Minister Wen said that, he did not speak again, but observed the emperor carefully.
Based on his understanding of his Majesty, he showed this expression, which must mean that there is bigger news waiting for them ahead.
He simply decided not to express his opinion for the time being.
Sure enough, the emperor listened to a play. After drinking a cup of tea, he slowly said to his ministers: "The person who made this crossbow is not only a woman, but also a concubine in my harem."
There was silence in the field.
Several generals were dumbfounded, their faces flushed, and they withdrew from the fight in a sullen manner.
It is impossible for your Majesty's concubine to be taken to the military camp.
The other court officials were not in much better mood.
After all the fuss, come on, you royal family.
Among the royal family, he is the one who should not be provoked the most.
The emperor seemed not to notice their expressions and smiled, "For a magical weapon like the Crossbow, how do you think we should reward it?"
The ministers didn't know how to start for a moment.
This is because Shen Yuying's identity is really special.
If it was an ordinary citizen, whether it was a title or an official position, they could still discuss it.
But the identity of a concubine...is really sensitive.
First of all, court officials are not allowed to make irresponsible comments about concubines in the harem.
Secondly, your majesty's concubines, according to the public's current understanding, are the royal daughters-in-law.
Who is qualified to discuss and reward her?
There is only Your Majesty in the whole world.
"My dear Zeng, you speak." The emperor pointed to the Minister of Rites.
Minister Zeng spoke cautiously: "According to the old rules, if a concubine has made contributions, her rank can be promoted, and her mother's family can also be promoted..."
The emperor tapped his fingers slowly on the table and shook his head: "Not enough."
not enough?
The Minister of Rites was stunned.
The emperor was thinking, how to improve his status and glorify his family?
There were more than one concubine in his harem who had this honor.
They can get these if they give birth to a prince or princess.
Are their contributions worth this divine crossbow?
He recalled Hui Baolin's excited expression when he introduced the crossbow he had made.
She was so proud.
"This crossbow has not yet been named."
He said slowly: "I want everyone who uses this crossbow to know who made it."
The other court officials were startled, but soon calmed down.
Your Majesty's concubines, if Your Majesty is willing, what objections do they have?
"However, the rewards should still be given. Lord Zeng, please draw up a set of rules when you return."
After the emperor finished speaking, he hurriedly adjourned the meeting.
The court officials were left staring at each other in bewilderment.
General Fan wondered, "Your Majesty has his own ideas in mind, so what is he asking us to discuss?"
Prime Minister Wen slowly stared at the rough man and smiled knowingly: "Everyone, I will go first."
You are really an old and rough guy, you can't even tell from this, Your Majesty is just here to show off!
At this time, people in Chaohui Palace were eating.
Because His Majesty has issued an imperial decree, the meals in Chaohui Palace can be tripled compared to those of higher rank. The Imperial Kitchen knows that Hui Baolin is someone His Majesty is thinking about.
In addition to the attentive chef, the imperial kitchen would also occasionally present Baolin with some good things beyond his usual share.
As long as you don't do anything out of line, no one will pay attention to it.
However, no one knew that Shen Yuying's greatest happiness was definitely not the special meal that the imperial chef occasionally prepared for her.
But it was her omnipotent Aunt Zhuyin!
Shen Yuying would never forget the scene on her first day in the palace when she saw Zhu Yin coming in with a large food box filled with imperial meals.
"Aunt Candle Yin?"
Zhu Yin easily put the buffet on the table: "These taste great, let's eat them quickly."
"This is?"
"Oh, it was taken from the imperial kitchen."
Zhu Yin said as a matter of course: "The imperial kitchen has all these good things, why should I eat bad ones?"
Shen Yuying felt that this was a bit bad.
But she had just taken the elixir and was not able to control herself.
Hmm, it smells so good.
This tradition has continued since then.
Today is still a full box.
The most delicious ones are roasted deer tendons and a bowl of golden osmanthus bird's nest.
Naturally, none of it was included in her share.
Although she didn't need the emperor and could eat the best meals in the palace every day, Shen Yuying still made that request to the emperor.
Although Aunt Zhuyin didn't seem to care, she always felt that it was a shame for such a godly figure like Aunt Zhuyin to do such a "stealthy" thing.
It's really unfair to her.
This was why she didn’t understand Zhu Yin’s thoughts.
Zhuyin never thought of herself as "stealing".
In her opinion, if she wanted, everything in the entire palace, including the emperor, could be hers.
What's the difference between taking the imperial meal and taking her own things?
The main reason for taking the imperial meal is because I want to eat it.
It was assigned to Shen Yuying because in each world, the "task objects" were divided into her own domain.
In this field, Zhuyin is the lord, and the protagonists recognized by her are her younger brothers and sisters.
Isn't it your duty to take care of your younger brothers and sisters?
