After lunch, Chu Yuening couldn't wait to summon someone to meet her.
Since Ying Jue became his disciple, Lu Qi settled in the palace and didn't even return to the academy.
According to him, he had finished all his courses and it would be a waste of time for him to stay there. He would be better off honing his skills in the laboratory.
In less than two quarters of an hour, Lu Qi arrived at Qinian Palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"Lord Lu has lost some weight, but are there any palace servants who are negligent?"
Chu Yuening looked at the boy who was as thin as a bamboo pole and asked with a frown.
Lu Qi quickly waved his hands and explained seriously.
"I am so busy with my research that I always forget the time."
“No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. Otherwise, how can you have the energy to do research?”
Chu Yuening has always attached great importance to talents.
Especially since the person in front of us is a rare genius that only appears once in a century, of course we have to take good care of him.
Although he knew that the queen cared about him, Lu Qi's ears still blushed with shame and he couldn't help but change the subject quickly.
"Yes, I understand. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"I wonder why Her Majesty summoned me today?"
Chu Yuening noticed the boy's embarrassment and laughed a little, but she stopped talking and turned to the business.
"Last time, Jue'er gave me an exquisite mechanical bird. I heard that it was you who made it?"
"Yes, Madam, is there anything wrong?"
Luchi asked, confused.
His mechanical skills were extremely advanced, so a mere mechanical bird was no problem for him, and there was no possibility of any mistakes.
Could it be that the Queen doesn't like such childish things?
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Chu Yuening didn't keep him in suspense anymore and signaled the female official to hand him a blueprint.
"See if you can develop this thing."
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment and allow me to take a look."
Lu Qi took the drawing and looked at it carefully.
The thing above is similar to a hand-cranked silk reeling machine, but it is more sophisticated and complex, with many transmission devices.
However, even though it was unique, with his intelligence, he quickly understood the general principle behind it.
He looked up at the emperor and empress, his eyes sparkling with excitement, like a child who had received a new toy.
"Your Majesty, this spinning machine is very sophisticated. I still need to study it carefully before I can develop it."
"Well, I'll have to trouble Lord Lu."
Seeing that the young man was confident, Chu Yuening curled her red lips slightly and nodded with satisfaction.
Lu Qi held the blueprint in his hand and prepared to leave excitedly.
Before he could speak, a female voice that could not be refused reached his ears.
"Mr. Lu, I will send a female official to you later to take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation."
"Next time you come to see me, please don't be so thin."
Lu Qi's smile froze, his expression turned bitter, and there was a bit of shame and anger.
Why do I feel like I'm being treated like a child who can't take care of himself?
But he couldn't refuse the queen's kindness, so he could only thank her silently.
"Thank you for your grace, Madam."
After the young man fled in a panic, peace returned to the hall.
Ying Zheng put his arms around his wife's waist, lowered his head and kissed her fair and soft cheek, his magnetic and low voice touching her heart.
"Yuen Ning cares about him so much, but he doesn't seem to appreciate it."
Chu Yuening was stunned when she heard this, and she felt that this was strange.
Forehead......
It seems to have a bit of tea flavor.
I wonder if A Zheng is jealous?
She realized it belatedly and burst out laughing. She quickly put her arms around his neck and kissed his tightly pursed thin lips.
"I'm naturally most concerned about Ah Zheng."
"Um."
Ying Zheng had an indifferent expression and allowed the woman to be intimate with him, but the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.
As autumn deepens, the trees are dyed with golden yellow. The bleak autumn wind blows by, playing a melody of harvest.
Half a month passed in a flash.
Lurchi lived up to his reputation as a peerless genius. In a short period of time, he developed a spinning machine and even improved it.
Outside the research institute, in a wide open space.
A sophisticated spinning machine was placed there, and Lurchi was explaining its working principles in a torrent of words.
“…by improving the transmission and increasing the number of spindles, the slivers were moved from being held by hand to being arranged on a rack, so that multiple strands of cotton yarn could be spun at once…”
Chu Yuening was confused and simply asked about the results.
"Compared to the original spinning machine, how many times can the efficiency be increased?"
"ten times."
Lu Qi said without hesitation, his face full of confidence.
These two short words were like thunderclaps from a clear sky, shocking everyone present.
“So high?!”
"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to test it."
Even the steady Yaojia was surprised at this moment, so he volunteered to step forward.
"My Lady, let this servant give it a try."
"Well, go get some cotton."
Seeing is believing. Chu Yue's eyes flickered as she signaled the palace servants to bring the raw materials.
Soon, a palace maid came over with a basket of snow-white cotton.
First, the seeds are removed, then it is rolled into strips and finally put into the spinning machine.
After everything was ready, Yaojia shook the spinning wheel. As the transmission device started to run, thin white threads were wrapped around the spindle.
After a while, the rows of spinning cones on the rack were filled with cotton thread and turned into oval "cocoons".
Everyone witnessed this scene in disbelief, and some rubbed their eyes hard, thinking they were seeing things.
How could there be such a magical spinning machine?
The extremely high spinning ability far overturned their previous cognition.
Chu Yuening was a worldly-wise person after all, and after her excitement, she quickly calmed down.
"Lu Qing's Mohist skills are so superb that they really open my eyes!"
