Yunrong roughly knew what Yinzhen meant, but why did his words sound so ambiguous?
When Bai Guo and the others helped Yun Rong get up, they saw that the bed was clean and tidy, and assumed that the Emperor's concubines had been replaced! They had no doubt that Yun Rong was still a virgin!
After getting up, Yunrong had breakfast. Since the Emperor had said she didn't need to go to the Empress's place, she wouldn't go looking for trouble!
Moreover, Yinzhen said yesterday that the Empress Dowager hadn't officially approved this matter! Don't worry!
After finishing her meal, Yunrong went to the side room next to the main hall! That was her experimental base, filled with strange-looking things to outsiders. It was here that she had explained things to Yinzhen yesterday! Yunrong had instructed that no one was allowed to go inside!
Yunrong decided that she wouldn't need to do the power generation for the time being. She would assemble the equipment once it was ready. She was currently planning to build an underground sewage system because she found going to the toilet really inconvenient!
With a sewage system, indoor toilets are no longer a dream, and we won't have to go out to use the toilet in the freezing cold anymore! Yunrong was more and more excited as she thought about it! Then she started calculating the data!
This blueprint wasn't difficult for Yunrong to create, but the actual implementation was quite troublesome because it required breaking ground! Meanwhile, Yinzhen ordered the construction of the parts, and not long after, he received another blueprint for a sewage system from Yunrong!
The blueprints were very detailed. After thinking about it, Yinzhen instructed the craftsmen to conduct experiments outside the palace according to the blueprints to see how long it would take and whether it would affect daily life. If there was no impact, they would try to popularize it in the palace before the end of the year!
The craftsmen were from the Royal Brand, and the results were very effective. The blueprints were detailed, and the actual results showed that it was fine, with minimal disruption!
Soon, the sewage system was dug in the Qianqing Palace, and the indoor toilets were also built! Kangxi thought it was good, so he ordered that the Cining Palace and Shou Kang Palace of the Grand Empress Dowager be built as well!
Next came the inner palace. The construction of the Empress's Jingren Palace started only one day earlier than that of the other palaces. The Empress lived in Jingren Palace, so there were more people and more needs. Moreover, Yinzhen also had his own selfish motives!
Although Gyeongin Palace was completed first, the main hall of Yongshou Palace was the first to be used inside. However, on the surface, the Empress was still the first in the harem!
During the construction of the sewage system and indoor toilets, some parts of the large generator were not easy to make. Yunrong secretly dressed as a eunuch and followed Yinzhen to personally guide the process several times!
At the end of the thirteenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Yunrong began assembling the generator, and things went quite smoothly. Yunrong was confident that she could finish it before the end of the year!
Sure enough, a few days before the Lunar New Year, Yunrong finished assembling the generator. Since it was inconvenient to conduct the experiment in the palace, Yinzhen took Yunrong out of the palace, and it was a great success!
For several days in a row, Yinzhen was extremely happy!
Yinzhen did not make a fuss about this, after all, the technology was not yet mature!
It was the New Year, and Prince Chenghu had been gone for some time. The Empress had also been burdened with many scriptures. Yinzhen knew that discord between the Emperor and Empress was detrimental to the country, so he lifted the Empress's ban!
Perhaps the loss of a child has given the Empress a sudden epiphany, for she now seems to possess a touch of Buddhist-like wisdom! However, she still maintains her old style in her actions, and the New Year's Eve banquet, under the Empress's careful organization, is exceptionally dignified!
The New Year seemed to have passed happily for everyone!
During the Lunar New Year, people stay up all night. Normally, the Emperor would rest in the Empress's palace, but Yinzhen didn't want to go there and so he stayed in the Qianqing Palace very willfully!
The Empress was naturally disappointed, but there was nothing she could do. Before her sister did such a foolish thing, the Emperor would give her face on the first and fifteenth of each month. But after her sister did something foolish, the Emperor was unwilling to even do face-saving things!
The Empress felt bitter inside! But there was nothing she could do! She had no power over the Emperor!
Yunrong also had to stay up all night to welcome the New Year, but she was easily sleepy and couldn't stand it anymore. All she wanted to do was sleep, but she had to endure it to bring good luck after staying up all night!
Yinzhen was alone in the Qianqing Palace. Thinking that it was New Year's Day, he suddenly felt a little lonely. So he got up and, together with Liang Jiugong and a trusted confidant, quietly left the Qianqing Palace!
Yinzhen didn't know where to go and just wanted to wander around, but he ended up in front of the gate of Yongshou Palace!
Yinzhen thought for a moment. He had inquired about Yunrong before and knew that she was the only daughter in the family and the youngest child, and was doted on by everyone! They were afraid that she might get hurt! Now that it was the first time she had not spent the New Year at home, she was probably not used to it!
Yinzhen thought of Yunrong sitting there all alone, keeping vigil for the New Year, and he felt very sorry for her! He decided to go and see her!
However, he also knew that if people found out he had come to Yongshou Palace on New Year's Eve, it would cause a huge uproar!
So he gave Liang Jiugong an instruction, and after a while, the gates of Yongshou Palace opened, and Yinzhen quietly arrived at Yunrong's bedroom!
Since it was an overnight stay, Yunrong sent the palace maids back to their rooms, leaving only Granny Changchun by their side!
When Yinzhen pushed open the door, he saw Changchun sitting on a stool. Yinzhen looked at her and thought that Yunrong seemed a little dazed.
When Changchun saw someone enter, he turned his head and saw the Emperor coming over!
Chang Chun was startled. This was New Year's Eve! Even if the Emperor didn't go to the Empress's place, it was still somewhat against the rules for him to come to the Master's place!
Chang Chun rose and greeted the Emperor: "May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace!"
Yinzhen: "Get up!"
At this moment, Yunrong also regained some of her senses and realized that the Emperor had arrived!
She stood up to pay her respects, but just as she was about to stand up, she felt like she was about to fall, so Yinzhen quickly went over to support her!
