He shouted angrily, "What?! This is simply nonsense! I think she is relying on the support of the eldest princess to do whatever she wants! She doesn't take me, her father, seriously at all!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly fell silent for a moment, realizing that the princess he was talking about was right beside him. His face, which was originally filled with anger, suddenly became deflated.
"Oh? Someone actually dared to use my name to do whatever he wants and caused the prefect to be so furious?" Wen Yu crossed her arms calmly, "Who is so bold?"
Shengjing Prefecture Governor: ...
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hesitantly, "Reporting to the Princess, it was... my daughter. The servant came to report that my daughter had made a flying bird and wanted to conduct an experiment and take her to the sky... How is this possible?"
Wen Yu blinked when she heard that, "Really? Then I want to try it too."
The prefect of Shengjing was shocked when he heard this: "Princess, you can't do this!"
But in the end he couldn't stand Wen Yu and had to bite the bullet and bring him into the mansion.
While Wen Yu was not paying attention, he signaled the servant to go to the palace gate to pass on the message that if anything happened to the eldest princess, not only would he lose his official hat, but his entire family would be in danger!
Almost as soon as she entered the backyard, Wen Yu heard bursts of exclamations.
The Shengjing prefect's face was already gloomy, but he had to put on a smile and lead Wen Yu all the way over.
"Second girl, stop messing around. How can this thing carry people up to the sky? If you fall down, it will be a life at stake!"
"Come down quickly! Don't think that no one will dare to touch you just because the princess praised you a few times at the New Year's banquet!"
"Oh, my second sister is determined to fly. We can't stop her. How many times have we tried to persuade her these days? Why don't we just let her try? If she breaks her leg and suffers a little, she will know that we really care about her!"
There were many people gathered in the small yard, chattering at the same time.
Li Qingyi was surrounded in the middle, but she turned a deaf ear to everything and concentrated on preparing for the last step of flying.
Anyway, she has gotten used to this situation.
In the past, she loved to tinker with these strange and tricky skills, but she didn't dare show them in front of others.
The sisters in the courtyard actually all knew about it, but none of them looked up to her. They even felt it was a loss of status to talk to her. They always ignored her intentionally or unintentionally, and even thought that having a daughter like her who was not doing her job properly was a disgrace to the Li family.
But ever since they were praised by the eldest princess at the New Year's banquet and were rewarded with glittering gold by the emperor, they began to take it seriously.
In their eyes, Li Qingyi was no longer regarded as transparent as before.
Even her elder sister, who usually looked down on her and deliberately made her attend the New Year's banquet to see her make a fool of herself, would occasionally talk to her.
Although he became much more enthusiastic, for some reason, when he spoke, there was always a sense of pouring cold water on him.
But when she thought of Wen Yu's sincere and admiring look at the New Year's banquet, Li Qingyi felt very motivated and she could tinker with it for another hundred years.
She doesn't care about what others think.
"Let her fly. What's the point of us worrying about her here?"
"Well, it may not be able to fly..."
"That's right, I've never heard of anything that can take people to the sky."
Li Qingyi ignored what they said, touched the wings of the "Tianji Bird", and decided to give it a test flight.
At this moment, she heard a voice that was very familiar to her, with a hint of laziness and curiosity in its crispness: "Is this the thing that can take people to the sky?"
Li Qingyi turned her head and her heart trembled. She knelt down and saluted, saying, "Li Qingyi greets the eldest princess."
When the other people in the yard heard this, they stared at Wen Yu in confusion for a long time before they reacted and knelt on the ground like dumplings in a pot.
"Greetings to the Princess! Long live the Princess!"
Wen Yu looked around, asked them to stand up, then glanced at the prefect of Shengjing and said leisurely, "Your Excellency is so lucky to have so many women in this courtyard."
The prefect of Shengjing couldn't help but wipe his forehead again: "I dare not."
Wen Yu walked to Li Qingyi's side and looked at the two-meter-long, two-person-high hollow wooden "bird"-shaped object in front of her, with a fan-like shape on its head. She was a little amazed.
This is a bit like a simplified version of a helicopter with only the frame left...
There is a wooden chair fixed in the frame, which should be the space reserved for people.
Looking more closely, Wen Yu discovered that there was a huge hand-wound spring behind the bird's butt.
Wen Yu: ...
She was stunned. Could it be that Li Qingyi wanted to use a spring to drive the fan and then spiral up to heaven?
Of course, whether it can rise or not remains to be seen.
After all, it took hundreds of years to successfully develop manned aircraft, but man-killing aircraft have always been successful throughout history.
Wen Yu turned to look at Li Qingyi, only to find that she was staring at her with sparkling eyes.
Wen Yu: ...
She was a little amused: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Li Qingyi seemed to have just come to her senses after hearing this. She looked flustered and said quickly, "Princess, please forgive me."
Wen Yu asked, "Did you make this yourself?"
"yes."
"Do you think you can fly?"
Li Qingyi answered truthfully: "In my opinion, it should be able to fly. Today is the first test flight, so I cannot guarantee it."
Wen Yu nodded, patted her shoulder encouragingly, and praised her sincerely: "Whether it can fly or not, you are hundreds of years ahead of ordinary people just by having this idea."
Li Qingyi's cheeks turned slightly red when she was praised.
Just as she was about to say something, the prefect of Shengjing stepped forward and said, "Princess, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. I was just fooling around. How could this thing fly? It's simply ridiculous."
Li Qingyi pursed her lips and lowered her head when she heard that. She was constantly denied by her father. Even if she pretended not to care, she was still sad in her heart, especially in front of the eldest princess.
This was much sadder than usual, she didn't even dare to look up at Wen Yu.
At this moment, Wen Yu suddenly laughed. She looked at the prefect of Shengjing and patted him on the shoulder. Although she didn't use much force, her legs went limp.
Wen Yu said righteously, "What the prefect said makes some sense, but as a father, it is necessary to support my daughter's career. In my opinion, you should sit on it and test it for your daughter to see if the bird can fly."
Upon hearing this, the prefect of Shengjing changed his expression greatly: "Princess, you absolutely cannot do this!"
Wen Yu looked puzzled: "Why not? Aren't you sure you can't fly? Why are you panicking?"
Shengjing Prefecture Governor: ...
At the same time in the palace, the emperor was discussing matters with Lin Yuzhi and Jiang Qi.
When the atmosphere was extremely serious, a palace servant came trotting in, with an anxious look on his face: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened! The eldest princess has died!"
Lin Yuzhi and Jiang Qi: ...
emperor:?
