Chapter 414 The emperor was overjoyed and conferred the title of princess on Xiao Ying!
The words on the letter suddenly became much bigger!
Even the texture of the paper is clearly visible, and some spots and marks on the paper that would not have been noticed before are also revealed.
The emperor felt it was extremely magical. He held up a magnifying glass and scanned it inch by inch, as if he wanted to see a flower in the letter.
Such actions and reactions made the civil and military officials even more curious.
What did the emperor see? Can you show them too?
However, the emperor had no intention of sharing it with them.
I held the magnifying glass and looked at it for at least a quarter of an hour before the novelty was slightly suppressed.
He took a breath of contentment, and looked at Xiao Ying with a hint of amazement.
"This magnifying glass is truly magical. It can magnify tiny objects so much that they are clearly visible."
"How on earth did Madam Anguo come up with such a miraculous thing?"
What's going on with Xiao Ying's brain?
How can you come up with so many weird things? And they are all very useful.
Take this magnifying glass, for example. It is very useful for those who can't see clearly.
Many scholars, due to their poor family background, could not afford to light oil lamps, and thus damaged their eyesight.
After becoming an official, one has to hold things close to him when looking at them, which greatly affects his work efficiency.
If you use a magnifying glass, you won’t have this trouble.
He didn't know that for nearsighted people there was something called glasses, which was more practical than a magnifying glass.
However, when Xiao Yingying went to Beijing, the glass workshop had not yet been built, so he did not bring it this time.
Xiao Ying smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you try the telescope again?"
"Yes, and a telescope."
The emperor became interested again after hearing this and almost forgot about it.
He put one eye on the lens and closed the other.
The next moment, he let out a soft cry and instantly looked away.
This happened two or three times, and the look of surprise on his face became more and more intense, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
As if he felt his vision was obstructed in the hall, he ran outside and even climbed onto the city wall.
The officials also hurried to catch up out of curiosity, wondering what he had seen and why he had come upstairs.
But the emperor had no intention of paying attention to them.
On the city wall, there was nothing blocking his view, and he looked left and right with joy.
Things that are obviously far away seem to be right in front of you.
"Um?"
He suddenly saw a familiar figure in the harem teaching a palace maid a lesson.
Recognizing that the figure was his most beloved concubine, his eyes couldn't help but darken.
Although he had long been aware of the other party's character, after all, he had spies throughout the palace.
But the imperial concubine had always been humble and cautious in front of him, and this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.
If she had not given birth to the eldest prince for him and the eldest prince had spiritual roots, he would not have allowed her to sit on the position of imperial concubine.
He watched for a long time until the palace maid's cheeks became red and swollen and she was punished to kneel on the ground. Only then did the imperial concubine leave with her people.
All of a sudden, he seemed to lose interest and handed the telescope to Prime Minister Ning.
This time, many ministers had the opportunity to use telescopes.
They were as surprised and shocked as the emperor, and some people even cried out in surprise.
The military generals couldn't let it go and immediately thought of its wonderful uses.
If it could be used on the battlefield, wouldn't it be possible to see the enemy's movements from a long distance?
The generals were very excited. When they met together, they all proposed that the emperor should give them the telescope as a reward!
Nearly half an hour later, everyone returned to the hall and the atmosphere was very lively.
Only Qi Yuping and Zhou Hong were in a heavy mood.
Xiao Ying presented so many good things, the emperor would probably be so happy that he would reward her again.
What's going on with this woman?
How does she come up with so many good things?
Sure enough, as soon as the emperor sat down, he began to praise Xiao Ying.
"Excellent! This telescope is also excellent!"
"To be able to see something hundreds of meters away right before my eyes is truly unheard of and unseen."
"If this thing were used on the battlefield, it would definitely be able to detect the enemy's movements from a great distance. It would be very useful!"
"Mrs. Anguo, I wonder how many of these things you still have?"
"Especially the magnifying glass and telescope, are you willing to make a deal with the court?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Xiao Ying with anticipation.
Of course, some people also think that the emperor is too generous.
Madam Anguo should offer such a good thing voluntarily. Why is she still trying to make a deal?
Xiao Ying spoke nonsense in a serious tone, "Unfortunately, the telescope and magnifying glass are the only ones in the emperor's hand."
"This item is extremely difficult to make, and it took me a long time to make it successfully."
The emperor's smile faded a lot in an instant, and he treasured the two things in his hands even more.
These two items are actually unique!
It seems that Lady Anguo really took the emperor to heart and presented it to him as soon as it was made.
"Mrs. Anguo is very thoughtful. It is understandable that such an important item would be difficult to make."
The ministers also felt a little regretful, especially the group of military generals, who were almost staring a hole in the emperor's telescope.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ying suddenly spoke up: "However, it is difficult for your wife to make it because of the lack of manpower."
"I would like to present the recipe for these two items to His Majesty. When His Majesty arranges for someone to make them, I believe the speed will be greatly improved."
The emperor suddenly became cheerful and delighted when he heard this.
"Is what Madam Anguo said true? Are you really willing to give up your precious treasure and share the recipe with me?"
If the imperial court could obtain the production methods of these two things, it would be able to produce them in large quantities in a short period of time.
When the time comes, equipping all armies with telescopes will surely boost morale and increase the chances of victory.
Magnifying glasses could also be provided to officials with poor eyesight, and the excess ones could be sold to save money for the national treasury.
Xiao Ying took out two booklets directly from the box, and the eunuch immediately presented them to the emperor excitedly.
"These two booklets contain instructions for making a magnifying glass and a telescope."
"If you still have difficulties, I can arrange for someone to teach you."
These two things are actually of little use to her.
Ordinary people have little use for it and cannot afford it.
It would be better to offer it to the imperial court. While making a difference, you can also gain some benefits for yourself.
But she would not share the methods of making glass and mirrors.
As long as she holds the glass tightly in her hand, the court will have no chance of getting rid of her.
"Good! Madam Anguo's demeanor truly impresses me!"
The emperor was overjoyed and truly developed respect for Xiao Ying.
"These two items are of great significance to our Yue Kingdom. Together with the glass and the mirror, Madam Anguo has accomplished another remarkable feat."
"In my opinion, the title of Madam Anguo is not worthy of you."
"Today I will confer upon you the title of Princess, and the name of you will be Yingfeng!"
"I hope Princess Yingfeng will not forget her original aspirations, keep working hard, and continue to bring glory to our Moon Nation!"
In an instant, all the officials in the court were in an uproar and terrified.
The Emperor actually promoted Xiao Ying to Princess Yingfeng? How could this be possible!
