The emperor raised his eyebrows calmly, a streamer flashed across his eyes, and looked at Qin Di again.

Qin Di has been living in the palace for some days, and the emperor has seen this girl several times.

In his opinion, Qin Di has a calm temperament, is well-behaved and open-minded. He has suffered so much in the past ten years and finally returned to his position. He has not complained about the hardships of the past 14 years, and he has not done anything for it. , must be able to adapt to such a complex family as Duan Wangfu, and will not make trouble with the prince.

The most important thing is that Gu Zezhi seems to be quite interested in this little girl.

There is a play!

The emperor secretly said: If this marriage can really come true, he can also have an explanation with Uncle Duan.

wait... not right!

The emperor's fingers rubbing on the jade wrench suddenly stopped.

Duan Wang is the first emperor's younger brother, and Gu Zezhi is his cousin, but Qin Di's girl has to be called her uncle!

The emperor pursed his thin lips in embarrassment, and turned his head to face Gu Zezhi: "This girl, Xiaoji, should call you uncle in the future."

Gu Zezhi: "..."

Qin Ji: "..."

Qin Di thought about her relationship with the emperor and Gu Zezhi in his mind, and felt that the emperor was right.

She was about to nod her head when she saw Gu Zezhi smiling and said, "It's better to call him Big Brother."

Qin Di: Just be happy with the golden thigh!

The emperor was silent, staring at Gu Zezhi for a while, but couldn't see what he meant.

It always felt like something was wrong. In the future, will Gu Zezhi follow Xiaoji to call his uncle, or will Xiaoji follow Gu Zezhi to call his imperial brother?

"Zezhi..." The emperor was worried, and was about to speak, when suddenly he felt a scorching heat in his chest, and he coughed uncontrollably.

"Cough cough cough..."

After this cough, he couldn't stop, and he coughed four or five times in succession, each louder than the other.

Yelu Luan, the prince of Beiyan, looked at the emperor calmly and looked at the emperor's face. Those blue eyes narrowed slightly, with a little scrutiny, a little thought, and a little exploration.

Gu Ze put away the folding fan with one hand, and quickly tapped twice on a certain acupoint on the emperor's back with the other hand.

The emperor's coughing stopped immediately.

He took the handkerchief handed over by the eunuch Zhou Xin, pressed the corner of his lips, and said to Yelu Luan nonchalantly, "This change makes my throat unbearable."

There was no strange color on the emperor's face, it seemed that he coughed twice just because his throat was itchy.

Only Gu Zezhi noticed that the emperor's left hand was shaking violently.

"Royal father." At this time, the second prince Gu Jing said worriedly, looking at the emperor with concern, "You are not well in the dragon body, and the wind evil has entered the body?"

Yelu Luan raised his brows and looked at the emperor, his eyes brooding.

The emperor was almost annoyed by this stupid son, so he could only keep his face calm, and said lightly: "It's just that I was choked by the cold wind, it's fine."

"You can't say that." Gu Jing said quickly, frowning deeply, "Father, your dragon body is related to our big Qi. Over the years, your dragon body is getting worse and worse, and my son is also very worried."

"These imperial physicians are too conservative. According to what I have seen, it is better to go to Jiangnan to find another famous doctor and show it to the emperor?"

emperor:"……"

"Father..."

Yelu Luan's eyes were more subtle, and he thought to himself: Is Emperor Mo Daqi terminally ill?

"Sister." Gu Zezhi's voice interrupted Yeluluan's thoughts, he urged Qin Di with a smile, "Have you brought it yet?"

Want it now? Qin Di was stunned, but it's just a Rubik's cube, what's the hurry?

Tucao returned to Tucao, she still replied: "I'll let someone get it."

Gu Zezhi was noncommittal, turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, my father always said that when you were young, you were good at riding and shooting, and you could pierce through Yang at a hundred paces. It just so happened that this little girl tossed up an interesting little thing, it's better to let the ministers see it too. See your skills."

Qin Di blinked his black and white almond eyes.

She suddenly understood that what Gu Zezhi was talking about was not the Rubik's Cube, but the bow she had just tossed out recently!

Gu Zhen was only four years old, and he had already started taking lessons in riding and archery. He was frail since childhood. Last time Qin Di saw him holding a small bow, he couldn't draw it for a long time. He looked depressed and pitiful.

Qin Di wondered if he could improve the bow a little bit, and wanted to make his little cousin happy.

She had seen a compound bow before. Although she had long forgotten the specific structure, she vaguely remembered that the compound bow uses pulleys to save effort, making it easier to draw the bow and increasing the range of the bow and arrow.

So, she asked the queen to ask the Ministry of Industry to find two craftsmen, who dictated and drew sketches, and after several days of trial and error with the craftsmen, she managed to come up with a prototype of a compound bow.

Qin Di silently glanced at Gu Zezhi and instructed the maid to go to Fengluan Palace to fetch it.

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest, "What kind of gadget?"

Gu Zezhi smiled slightly and sold his words: "When you see it, you will know."

So, the emperor and his party entered the water pavilion and sat down.

The ladies avoided one after another and went to a flower gallery not far away to play, and the second princess Xin'an and Qin Di were left behind by the emperor.

Not long after, a black bow was taken.

This bow is an ordinary bow that the craftsman found casually, about a crossbow, it looks unremarkable, but the two pulleys on the bow make people look very fresh.

"This is..." The emperor took the black bow and looked at it interestingly.

"This is called a compound bow." Qin Di introduced, "The courtier saw that cousin Zhen couldn't draw a bow at a young age, so I wanted to improve it for him."

Gu Zezhi smiled and suggested, "Your Majesty, why don't you try the bow first."

The emperor already understood Gu Zezhi's intentions, raised his hand, and pulled the bow with ease.

The emperor skillfully draws the bow and arrow, the bow is like a full moon.

"Whoosh!"

A long arrow shot out from the string, swiftly like a shooting star, and shot into the tree trunk three hundred paces away with vigor.

"Sususususu..."

Yelu Luan's eyes widened suddenly, indescribable astonishment appeared on his face.

Even a three-stone bow has a range of only 200 steps. This seemingly ordinary bow has a range of 300 steps. No, Emperor Da Qi just shot at will, maybe its range is even longer. , three hundred and fifty steps, or four hundred steps? !

"Your Majesty, this bow..." Yelu Luan said with difficulty.

"This bow is well done." Emperor Longyan Dayue praised, "If it can be configured in large quantities, it will definitely make my Daqi soldiers even more powerful!"

Qin Di smiled and said generously, "This bow is still very rough."

Rough indeed!

Qin Di only knew the general principle of the compound bow, that is, relying on her blind tricks and the amazing understanding ability of the craftsmen, this version 1.0 came out. Compared with the compound bows of later generations, it is far worse, it is just simple A pulley is added to save labor.

However, Qin Di understood Gu Zezhi's intention.

Qin Di remembered that it was said in the novel that Beiyan and Daqi had hated each other for generations. Although they made an armistice agreement, they were on guard against each other. If Prince Beiyan finds out that the emperor's health has become worse and worse in recent years, it will inevitably make Beiyan covet Daqi.

Originally, the emperor had already been confused, but...

Qin Di glanced at the second prince. In the novel, he didn't look so stupid. Is it because he is still young now, or is it because the novel is too smooth, with the halo of the male protagonist, so he can't see it?

Qin Di's eyes moved silently to the left, and under the backlight, Gu Zezhi stood with his hands behind his back, a small smile always on the corners of his lips.

So, since the emperor's physical condition could not be concealed, Gu Zezhi wanted Yelu Luan to see Da Qi's military strength? To deter Beiyan's ambitions.

However, this bow is not even a half-finished product, it is just used to make my little cousin happy. The durability of this gear has not been tested, and it is not impossible to mass-produce it, and it is still far from being promoted in the military.

Obviously, now is not the right time to say this, Qin Di just stood there smiling, cute and cute.

Then she watched helplessly as the emperor took her bow away.

Qin Ji: "..."

The emperor left in a good mood, thinking about going back and talking to the empress and rewarding Qin Di.

Everyone hurried to send the emperor.

When the emperor was no longer in sight, the ladies relaxed and continued to play.

Until halfway through the hour, a palace maid called them: "His Royal Highness Second Princess, the time has come."

Xin'an responded quickly, and everyone followed the palace maid towards the Cining Palace.

When they arrived at the Cining Palace, the time was just right.

Empress Wei is leading a group of concubine women, including Liu Guifei, to congratulate the Empress Dowager Liu and present their own birthday gifts, followed by several eldest princesses with the emperor's princesses, followed by those expatriate wives and Girls from all over the country.

The atmosphere of Cining Palace is both solemn and lively.

It's already an hour and a half after the birthday prayer is over.

Everyone was relieved and withdrew from the Cining Palace, and went to the banquet first.

As for Qin Di, she was stopped by Madam Xu and went to the side hall of Cining Palace.

In the side hall, there was a lively scene, with Empress Wei, Concubine Liu Guifei and several eldest princesses waiting to accompany Empress Dowager Liu to speak.

Sitting on the kang, Empress Dowager Liu was in her fifties, with a lot of silver threads in her hair. Her fair and dignified face was well maintained, and she looked several years younger than her actual age.

Daoist Yunguang, who was holding a whisk, was standing on the right of Empress Dowager Liu. She still looked like a fairy, but just standing there so quietly, she felt like she would float away at any time.

Daoist Master Yunguang also saw Qin Di, and the moment the two looked at each other, the whisk in his hand trembled slightly.
