Chapter 150: Missing someone sometimes makes you want to wait
"No, when has your second brother ever lied to you?" Zhao Houming quickly comforted his two-year-old brother. He was also afraid of his brother's stubbornness sometimes.
Zhao Houyang gave him an expression of reluctant belief, and then he looked at his eldest brother again.
Zhao Houjing also quickly expressed his opinion: "My second brother is not going, and I won't go either. The three of us brothers are all at home, neatly waiting for mother to come back."
Zhao Houyang was satisfied and continued to play the puzzle. Although he had grown up, he still liked playing with this puzzle. After all, he was just a child now, so it didn't matter if he played with it for a while.
Zhao Lingmeng spent her days working with a bunch of blacksmiths, working back and forth. She was so exhausted that she didn't even have time to write a letter home. She didn't even know her children had thought about coming to see her.
Zhao Lingmeng took a closer look at the finished inner armor and decided it was still not good enough. It was too heavy. She wanted to make one that could be worn underneath without being noticeable.
"Your Highness, I think this one is very good. It is lighter than the previous ones and can better withstand damage." Lord Jin was very happy. Although this inner armor can only be worn as outer armor, it is much better than the previous ones.
General Liu was watching with envy, "Your Highness, you are truly amazing. Old Man Jin has been researching for so many years and still hasn't figured it out, and you've only been here for a short time and you've already figured it out."
"Liu Guangtou, if you want to praise His Highness, just praise His Highness. Why are you stepping on me?" Lord Jin was also convinced by this old fellow. He could make him angry anytime and anywhere. To be more precise, he could make him so angry that he jumped up at any time.
"I am being realistic and what I said is all true. When people get old, they should accept their age. It's time to make room for young people." General Liu really thought so. They are all old and should accept their age.
Zhao Lingmeng saw General Liu becoming increasingly excited, and Lord Jin's expression becoming increasingly grim. Fearing a fight between the two, she interrupted, "Lord Jin, General Liu, please have some of this armor made and sent to the front lines for testing. We'll research better ones later."
"Your Highness, I think this is enough for now. The kind of inner armor you mentioned cannot be produced in a short time based on current technology.
Right now, the front lines are in urgent need of it, so why don't we just use this one? Then improve some more powerful ones and equip the generals first, and then slowly research better ones?"
After hearing what Lord Jin said, Zhao Lingmeng thought about it and felt that she was taking it for granted. It would definitely not work to expect the best right away.
"Master Jin is right. I took it for granted. Let's equip everyone with this equipment first, and then we can research more powerful ones."
Seeing that His Highness had also made the decision, General Liu immediately took the things and went down to make arrangements. The sooner this kind of thing was made, the sooner more lives could be saved.
Now that Zhao Lingmeng had decided to switch to armor, she suddenly remembered a type of armor she had seen at a museum in her previous life. It had a smooth, light-reflecting surface, made up of various scales. She only remembered it because her brother had made such a fuss about it glowing.
Although Zhao Lingmeng had never been to a battlefield, she felt the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. The fact that the reflective armor had survived at least indicated that it had been tested on the battlefield. She also wanted to test the reflective properties to see if they worked.
"Master Jin, do you know of any process that can make this armor as sharp as a sword?"
"What does Your Highness mean?" Lord Jin looked at Zhao Lingmeng in confusion.
"I wonder if it would be better if the armor could reflect light? Is there anyone who can do that?"
"There are many craftsmen who can smelt metal here. I have to ask them to find out. I will give you a reply tomorrow morning." Lord Jin did think that His Highness's suggestion was very interesting, and there was nothing wrong with giving it a try.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I will be leaving now."
Zhao Lingmeng got the answer she wanted, and since she had accomplished something today, she wanted to go back and rest. She had been working on experiments day and night recently, and even though she ate well, her body couldn't handle it.
After His Highness left, Lord Jin immediately ordered someone to go down and ask, and he himself went to find General Liu to oversee the manufacture of the armor.
Zhao Lingmeng took Chunshui, Chunmu, and Deputy Commander Fan, the door god, back to the courtyard where she currently lived.
When Zhao Lingmeng returned, the water for bathing was always ready. She could take a bath as soon as she returned, then have a meal and take a rest.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't say that always having water on hand was a luxury. Everyone should have some pursuits and hobbies. If she didn't pursue anything, the emperor in Yuanjing would be terrified!
Zhao Lingmeng came out of the bath and decided to have a leisurely dinner today. It was getting late. "Let's have dinner! Let's have something rich tonight."
Qiuyue's illness had also healed, and she had been taking care of everything in the courtyard recently. When she heard Zhao Lingmeng's instructions, she immediately went down to make arrangements. Soon, the dishes served were all Zhao Lingmeng's favorites.
"Qiuyue, you are so considerate. I will definitely not be used to it when you get married." Zhao Lingmeng was in a good mood and was in the mood to make jokes with Qiuyue.
"How about I just serve the young lady forever? I don't want to get married anyway." This is what Qiuyue thinks at the moment. She has no desire to get married.
"You don't have to box yourself in now. Now that I'm in a higher position, I can protect you. If you meet someone you like, don't be afraid. If things don't go well, come back to me. I'll support you."
Zhao Lingmeng herself came from the free world, and she didn't necessarily want to marry off her capable maids; she just wanted to give them some opportunities to choose. No one could choose what kind of life another person wanted to live.
"I know what Your Highness means. If I change my mind, I will tell Your Highness. Don't worry. When you have time, think about the young masters at home! We are not here, and we don't know how they are doing. I miss the three of them a lot lately."
When Zhao Lingmeng heard Qiuyue mention the three little ones at home, she also missed them a lot. She didn't feel it when she was busy, but now when she was free, her mind was full of what the three little ones were doing. Now she really felt like a mother.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but eat slowly. She ate at the same speed as usual, and after finishing her meal quickly, she went to the study to write letters to those people.
Qiuyue has become accustomed to His Highness being like this during this period of time. Sometimes when His Highness has a new idea, he will quickly finish his meal and go to the study to write it down.
So she thought that His Highness had some new ideas, and she didn't ask. She calmly ordered people to take them away, and then ordered people to keep the midnight snacks warm for His Highness.
