Ma'am, your vest fell off again

Chapter 269
"Master Rong can cast iron?!" Song Wenzhi had always admired Fu Xuanrong, but now that he knew that she could even make battle armor, he wished to offer her up.

"Well, the steel armor and artillery made by the Cast Iron Institute will be sent to the northwest by the Ministry of War, Ziyi, remember to be extra careful when escorting them, so as not to be tampered with."

Chen Ziyi nodded solemnly, "I understand."

"The king will go back to the mansion first."

"Yes, my lord, go slowly."

……

"Master Rong, why are you so fine, why did you have such a big cut on your arm? And why are there bruises on your knees?"

"Ah, it doesn't matter, I accidentally rolled to the ground when I was sleeping last night and fell."

fell?

Lian Xin scratched her head, she really couldn't figure out why she could get such a wound when she fell to the ground.

"My darling, come, sing a song for the young master. I want the tune in Xiangju Building. The more lingering the better."

The parrot was so teased by Fu Xuanrong, "Little bastard, you bastard, sooner or later your ass will rot!"

Fu Xuanrong clicked her tongue, and poked the parrot's wings even harder, "It seems that your skin is itchy, I just need a bowl of parrot soup."

"Gah, gah! The gentleman sits on the bow of the boat, and the concubine sits on the bridge..."

"Puchi, Master Rong, this parrot is really well trained by you. Not only can it swear, it can also sing so beautifully."

"That's right, go, carry the cage to the door and hang it, if Yujin's people pass by, it will know what to do."

"Yes."

Lian Xin carried the parrot out of the yard, and before she could hang it on the tree, she saw Li Junhao approaching slowly. She was startled, and hurriedly saluted, "My maidservant sees the prince."

"Well, what is Princess Rong doing?"

"Go back to the prince, Master Rong is drinking tea in the yard."

"Understood, let's go down."

"Yes."

After dismissing Lian Xin, Li Junhao stepped into the courtyard.

Under the big banyan tree, Fu Xuanrong was indeed sitting at the stone table, his obviously thinner back made him feel sad for a while.

This woman is really...

"Come in and sit down when the lord is here. My pot of tea is pretty good, I can give you a cup." Fu Xuanrong didn't turn her head, her voice was full of a smile.

Li Junhao walked over in silence, glimpsed the wound on her arm from the corner of the eye, and couldn't help frowning, "Why isn't the wound bandaged?"

Fu Xuanrong handed a teacup to Li Junhao, "It's just a small injury, did the emperor say anything in court today?"

"No, I only said that the origin of these armors was strictly investigated, and I also allowed the Institute of Iron Casting to recruit private iron casters."

"It seems that your father is not hopelessly stupid." Fu Xuanrong took a sip of the tea she cooked. Although she really wanted to pretend to be enjoying it, it was a pity that the tea was too bitter, and her expression changed several times. After a while, she couldn't help but spit it out, "It seems that I am really not suitable for arty, this thing is not as good as plain water."

Li Junhao glanced at the untouched cup in front of him, his eyes flickered slightly, "Did you leave that empty steel armor outside the cast iron courtyard on purpose?"

Fu Xuanrong smiled, "Yes, if you don't stay, how can the emperor know that there are more powerful cast iron masters among the people? Born in sorrow and died in peace, ordinary people understand the truth, but your father can't see through it. It's really stupid."

"Bei Ao has been stable and prosperous for several years, and the small countries on the frontier dare not invade. The emperor and even the entire court are used to such a life, and they are indeed too comfortable."

"No, no, it's just a group of people in Kyoto who are just eating and waiting to die. Look at Shaoqing. He went to the Northwest at a young age and has been fighting until now. Without those people who defend their homes and the country and fight on the battlefield, Where can we sit here and drink tea safely?"

Li Junhao nodded, "I have already sent the steel armor and artillery, and sent snares to secretly escort the rest. In this situation, we can only help a little bit."

"Indeed, I have told Mr. Liu that Yinzong will send a hundred sets of steel armor to the northwest every month, and soon Shaoqing's soldiers will have one set, so that there is no need to retreat when fighting. gone."

"Manufacturing steel armor is expensive, do you have enough silver to support it?"

Fu Xuanrong looked at him with contempt, "Aren't you talking nonsense? I'm a poor man, and I don't have money to buy materials. Therefore, every batch of steel armor I send has a detailed list inside. When the time comes Let Gu Shaoqing find a reason to send it to the Ministry of War for reimbursement, and then return it to me. Anyway, don’t waste the money from the court.”

She wasted all her time and effort, if she had to spend all her money, wouldn't she be taken advantage of?

That's what fools do.

Such straightforward words made Li Junhao speechless for a while, and he finally spoke after a while, "About what happened that day..."

"I don't blame you for what happened that day. If you trust me, don't ask again." Anyway, it is impossible for her to say that she is a peacock. If Li Junhao insists on pursuing the result, then she can only think of it. Try to avoid it, at worst, we won't meet each other in the future.

Li Junhao sighed, "What do you want to hide from me?"

"As I said, everyone has their own hard-to-tell secrets. No matter what, you just need to remember that I won't hurt you, let alone betray you. That's enough."

Fu Xuanrong's gaze was very firm. If this had been said a few days ago, Li Junhao might not have believed it.

But last night outside Cast Iron Courtyard, this woman almost died in order to give him a batch of steel armor. How can such feelings be expressed clearly in a few words?
What's more, until now, he still firmly remembers the way Fu Xuanrong turned her head and smiled at herself in the firelight.

At that time, she was already in a state of embarrassment, but her eyes were full of trust and affection for herself. No one could remain indifferent in the face of such deep affection, and so was he.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally Li Junhao conceded first, "Forget it, I don't ask."

What Fu Xuanrong said is right, everyone has secrets that they cannot tell, such as the Gu in his body, and the nightmare-like experience when he was young.

Since she didn't want to tell, then he wouldn't ask. He believed that one day, this woman would tell the reason herself.

"Well, is the cold war over?" It's been almost a month, and she's been thinking about this bastard in her dreams, but she's been so busy that she doesn't even have time to see him.

"Have you ever had a cold war? It's just that you have been avoiding seeing me." He has been to the side courtyard several times in the past month, but the door inside has been closed tightly.

Fu Xuanrong was quite aggrieved, "You have no conscience in what you said. I have been so busy with the casting iron yard this month that I have no time to eat. Look at me, I have lost a lot of weight."

Li Junhao couldn't see her coquettish appearance the most, and his heart softened half, "Come here, I'll give you a hug."
