How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

As soon as he entered the yard, a woman in blue slowly walked towards him. He looked at Xu Chengling, then at the woman in white beside him, and his beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly.

"Husband, who is this?"

The corners of Yan Jixue's mouth twitched slightly. He had just left for a while and brought her back a good sister.

"hiss……"

Her slender hands skillfully fell on Xu Chengling's waist, grabbed a piece of soft flesh and pinched it hard. Xu Chengling couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his whole handsome face was twisted.

At this time, Yan Jixue also noticed that the woman in white deliberately wore a veil to cover the ugly birthmark on her right cheek.

She couldn't help but think that if the other person didn't have that birthmark, she would also be a beautiful woman.

At this moment, Yan Jixue and Sun Yuyi looked at each other. Yan Jixue's gaze carried a hint of invisible majesty, which made Sun Yuyi's expression change slightly.

Sun Yuyi saw a strong imperial purple aura on the body of the woman in blue. Combined with the backlash she suffered when she tried to guess the other party's identity, she was more certain of the other party's identity.

The woman in blue in front of you is the real empress of today!

Chapter 293: The Great Use of the Crossbow

Everyone in the capital knows that the Prime Minister married the younger sister of the current empress.

But what no one knew was that the prime minister's wife was not the empress's biological sister, but the empress herself.

As for how he married the current empress, Sun Yuyi naturally didn't know. The empress was the true emperor and was protected by dragon energy. She could not see through the empress's own fate.

At the same time, this also explains why Xu Chengling also has dragon energy in his body, and it is concentrated in the abdomen.

Because he sleeps on the Empress's dragon bed every day!

After thinking this through, countless bloody developments have emerged in Sun Yuyi's mind, such as the empress getting on the wrong bridal sedan on the day of her wedding and marrying Xu Chengling instead of her sister.

Could such a bloody development really happen? But it seems to have happened.

Looking at the empress who was smiling at her, Sun Yuyi couldn't help but feel a sense of majesty from her. The empress is the ruler of a country, and anyone who sees her will inevitably feel an inexplicable pressure.

"My humble self, Sun Yuyi, greets the Madam."

Sun Yuyi lowered his head slightly and politely introduced himself to the woman in front of him.

"It's Miss Sun. Nice to meet you."

Yan Jixue also smiled slightly and kept a good face towards the woman Xu Chengling brought back from outside.

No matter what, as the man's wife, you must consider your husband's face.

After a while, the two girls became familiar with each other, and the topic naturally revolved around one person, that was Xu Chengling.

From Sun Yuyi, Yan Jixue also learned that the two were just ordinary friends.

"Miss Sun, the birthmark on your face is..."

As they chatted, Yan Jixue brought the topic back to the birthmark on Sun Yuyi's face. The other person's appearance was impeccable, but it was a pity that there was a birthmark on the right side of her cheek, which made people feel very sorry.

Sun Yuyi looked at Xu Chengling beside her, then looked back at Yan Jixue in front of her. She thought for a while and replied:

"I have had this birthmark since I was a child. People often say that a birthmark is a piece of flesh that falls off from the mother's body, so I don't feel disgusted or inferior because of the birthmark on my face,"

Yan Jixue admired the other party's open-minded and optimistic attitude, and she couldn't help but feel a touch of respect for the woman in white in front of her.

Xu Chengling on the side did not expose Sun Yuyi's lie. Long before, Sun Yuyi had taken the initiative to reveal that the birthmark on her face was fake, and her pretty face was actually clean, white, and beautiful.

The reason why she added a birthmark on her face was actually to protect herself. After all, she had no power, and being too beautiful would easily bring trouble.

At this time, Sun Yuyi walked towards Xu Chengling. She looked around the yard. It was much larger than the yard of the Sun Mansion and very lively.

"Mr. Xu, I have something for you to see."

As he spoke, Sun Yuyi took out a bag from his wide sleeves and opened the bag, revealing wooden blocks of various shapes inside.

Seeing these wooden blocks, Xu Chengling couldn't help but think of the Lu Ban lock, which he had played with when he was a child. However, it seemed that the mechanisms of these wooden blocks were even more complicated than the Lu Ban lock.

"Miss Sun, what are these pieces of wood used for?"

"This is a crossbow I'm currently researching. Compared to ordinary crossbows, this one is lighter and can fire continuously through a special mechanism inside."

Sun Yuyi smiled slightly and assembled the wooden blocks into a crossbow.

Then, she took out several crossbow arrows from her sleeves, loaded them on top, pressed the trigger at the bottom, and several crossbow arrows were fired at once.

Xu Chengling looked in the direction where the crossbow arrows were fired, and saw that several crossbow arrows were deeply nailed into the tree dozens of meters away, with great power.

Xu Chengling couldn't help but feel a little shocked when he saw this scene. Isn't this thing developed by Sun Yuyi a repeating crossbow?

Based on the traditional crossbow, she developed a continuous firing function. The crossbow is lighter and more portable, and can be assembled and disassembled. Unexpectedly, she is also a genius in manual inventions.

"Miss Sun, this is really amazing."

Xu Chengling was so excited that he couldn't help but hold Sun Yuyi's slender hand tightly.

When he held her hand, Sun Yuyi blushed slightly and whispered:

"It's nothing, just a little gadget I researched when I had free time."

"No, this is not a small gadget. This is a powerful weapon that can be used on the battlefield."

Xu Chengling shook his head, very excited. The repeating crossbow invented by Sun Yuyi could actually be used on the battlefield.

A crossbow is different from an ordinary bow. A bow requires people with strong arm strength to use it, and the trajectory of the arrow is a parabola. A crossbow uses mechanical force to launch an arrow, so the trajectory of the crossbow arrow is a straight line, and its range is twice that of a bow.

The repeating crossbow invented by Sun Yuyi can shoot multiple arrows at a time. By simply modifying it, you can get a more powerful repeating crossbow. One person can shoot several arrows at the same time, and when there are more people, it will form a dense fire coverage network.

The source of all fear is insufficient firepower, and the crossbow can solve the problem of firepower.

Moreover, if the arrows were coated with poison, the penetrating power and speed of the crossbow could even pose a huge threat to the cavalry in the Western Regions.

Sun Yuyi never thought that the little gadget she developed when she was bored could come in handy on the battlefield.

Watching Xu Chengling explaining the various functions of the crossbow, Sun Yuyi was stunned, but she probably understood one thing, that is, the little gadget she invented seemed to be very useful.

"Miss Sun, I have always had an idea, which is to transfer some of the elite troops from the Tianjian Division to establish a Shenji Battalion, which is responsible for researching various combat weapons."

Xu Chengling held Sun Yuyi's hand tightly, looked at her deeply with his dark eyes, and said to her:

"I would like to invite you to join the Shenji Camp. What do you think?"

He felt that Sun Yuyi had talent in this area and was very suitable to join the Shenji Camp he founded.

Xu Chengling's original purpose in establishing the Shenjiying was actually a bigger ambition, which was to research firearms for Dayan.

It was not enough to just have gunpowder, he also had to develop firearms to unleash the power of gunpowder. After all, if he only had bullets but no gun, could he just throw them with his hands and hope that a miracle would happen with great force?

That's really like Khrushchev eating corn - he's just bored.

In order to achieve this goal, Xu Chengling must recruit various talents to join the Shenji Camp. Among them, Sun Yuyi is the candidate in his mind.

At present, he has already had the idea of ​​establishing the Shenji Camp. He can mobilize the elites of the Jiantian Division through the golden imperial order, and he has the tiger talisman to summon the army. These have satisfied him the conditions to establish the Shenji Camp.

If his grandmother didn't come back, Xu Chengling decided to develop gunpowder himself with the people from the Shenjiying until they figured it out.

And now, he needs Sun Yuyi's help.

"I'm sorry, Master Xu, I can't agree to your condition."

But the result was unexpected. Sun Yuyi rejected his request, and at the same time, she put her pretty face close to his ear and slowly said:

"Mr. Xu, have you forgotten that I am actually Prince Jing's man?"

Chapter 294 You Are All My Wings

If Sun Yuyi hadn't told him, Xu Chengling would have almost forgotten that she was actually the military advisor in Prince Jing's mansion.

Xu Chengling looked at the woman in white before him. He thought for a moment, then extended his hand to her and said:

"Miss Sun, why don't you leave Prince Jing's Mansion and come to Xiangguo Mansion."

He never imagined that there would come a day when he would poach people's talents.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that this is not the first time he has poached people. At the beginning, Hanyu Sakura was a spy from Izumo Province, and later he poached her to his side.

When Xu Chengling thought of the woman who was as pure and strong as cherry blossoms, he couldn't help but miss her a little. He didn't know how she was doing now after returning to Izumo Province, and whether she was safe.

He did send people to inquire about the news in Izumo Province. It seemed that Izumo Province was currently in quite chaos, with various major families fighting each other. Among them was the Hanyu family where Hanyu Sakura belonged.

Not long ago, the head of the Hanyu family was assassinated and a new head took over.

Back to the present, facing Xu Chengling's invitation, Sun Yuyi couldn't help but sigh and said to him:

"Master Xu, I'm sorry I can't agree to your request. I promised Prince Jing that I would help him. In return, I can continue to live in the Sun Mansion. This is my condition."

After her explanation, Xu Chengling understood her difficulties and could only sigh and stop forcing her.

At this time, Yan Jixue, who was standing nearby, came over. She had heard their conversation just now.

"Miss Sun, you said you were Prince Jing's man?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Sun Yuyi nodded. Everyone knew about Prince Jing's ambition, and the woman in front of him was the current empress. She had always been on guard against her uncle who had an army of 400,000.

And as she was Prince Jing's person, the Empress would probably not look upon her favorably, so it was already a good thing that she was not killed.

"Sun Mansion, I remember that the Sun family was also a famous family in Dayan. The ancestor of the Sun family was even the prime minister, but later it was replaced by the Xu family, and the Sun family gradually declined."

Yan Jixue recalled and said that as the empress of Dayan, she had some understanding of the major families in the capital, including the declining Sun family.

How did the Sun family fall? Some people said that the Xu family was behind it, while others said that the Sun family offended the late emperor. Each party had its own opinion. Even Yan Jixue, the empress, was unaware of the truth.

Later, the Xu family's influence in the capital grew, and the family prospered, while the Sun family gradually declined, with no successor, so that now only Sun Yuyi is left.

So for Sun Yuyi, the Sun family's bloodline will eventually die out in her generation. Even if she gets married in the future, she will be continuing the bloodline of someone else's family.

Yan Jixue couldn't help but feel a little regretful about the situation of this descendant of the Sun family. The Sun family was once a prominent family, but now only Sun Yuyi is left.

"If it's Sun Mansion, I can find a way to get it back for you, but it would be too lonely for you to live in such a big place alone, and there would be no one to take care of you. Why don't you come to Xiangguo Mansion? There are many relatively easy jobs in Xiangguo Mansion."

Yan Jixue thought for a moment and said to the woman in white in front of her that she could find a way to help her get the Sun Mansion back, but this might lead to revenge from Prince Jing.

That's why she suggested that the other party come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, where someone would protect her.

"Thank you, Madam. You don't have to be so nice to me. This is my own choice. I was born in the Sun Mansion, and my roots are in the Sun Mansion. If I die in the future, I hope to return to my roots in the Sun Mansion."

Sun Yuyi smiled, but her smile was a little sad. In her opinion, since she was born in the Sun family, she would also die in the Sun family after her death.

Perhaps, the life of fallen leaves is just to return to their roots.

"Ma'am, I will consider your suggestion, and if I figure it out, I will give you an answer then."

Sun Yuyi said to the empress in front of her that she admired her magnanimity and her ability to accept an ordinary woman like her who had no power or influence, and she also understood the meaning of the empress's words.

She could accept her identity on the condition that she left Prince Jing and did not betray Xu Chengling.

But Sun Yuyi understood that the women gathered around Xu Chengling were all extremely outstanding, and she was just an ordinary woman and was not worthy of him at all.

"Mr. Xu, you have a very good wife, please treat her well."

Sun Yuyi turned her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, with a hint of reluctance in them.

After meeting him today, maybe I will dream about him again at night, Sun Yuyi couldn't help but think, feeling shy but also a little expectant.

The pretty figure in white slowly turned around, left a word to Xu Chengling and left.

"There are trees in the mountains, but the trees have branches, and my heart is happy for you, but you don't know it."

The words left by Sun Yuyi are very interesting. After Xu Chengling understood it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seems that he has really done a lot of harm to others.

At this time, Yan Jixue also came over, sighed softly, and said:

"My dear husband, your wedding with Tongxin is coming soon, and you are hooking up with other women again. How sad Tongxin would be if she knew."

"My dear, no matter how many women I have around me, you and Tong Xin will always occupy the most important position in my heart. You are my wings, and I can't live without either of you."

Xu Chengling gently placed his hand on his wife's shoulders and spoke to her seriously.

"Do you say that to every woman?"

Yan Jixue couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. This man's lips were as sweet as honey and he spoke so sweetly. Who knows how many women he has said the same thing to.

"No, my lady, I only say this to you and one other person at most. You are the most important people in my heart."
