Blessed Daughter

"Because the armor is made relatively thin." Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Mingting took a closer look, and it was indeed thinner than he expected.

Wei Ruo explained again: "Father, don't worry, although the armor is a little thinner, its hardness is not a problem, and it can withstand ordinary sword attacks."

"Why is this so?" Wei Mingting asked.

"The iron and steel used to make this armor used a lot of fluorite during smelting, and copper was added during production. After the workpiece was reshaped, it was put into a crucible, covered with charcoal, fermented soybeans, and soil powder, and heated outside the container, so that the carburization of the workpiece was stable and uniform, and the carbon potential was increased. This made it have good ductility and greatly improved its strength."

"How does Ruo'er know this?" Wei Mingting couldn't help asking.

"It's the method that the master craftsman who made this armor told me. The hardness and ductility of iron can be changed by adjusting the ratio of iron to carbon."

"Where is this old master? Can you introduce one or two for my father?" Wei Mingting asked hastily, his expression a little excited.

"Master lived in the mountains for a long time and rarely interacted with others. I also obtained this armor by chance." Wei Ruo replied.

"Since this is the case, it's a pity." Wei Mingting couldn't help but feel regretful, "If he can teach this improved technology to the people in the Weapons Battalion, it will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of our army."

Wei Ruo didn't answer.

Wei Mingting continued: "Anyway, thank you Ruo'er for preparing this armor for my father. My father is very happy and will take it to the battlefield."

"I hope my father will be safe and sound on the battlefield, and win a complete victory every time," Wei Ruo said.

"Thank you Ruo'er, I will do my best for my father." Wei Mingting looked at Wei Ruo with moving and gratified eyes.

Not long after Wei Ruo and Wei Mingting finished talking, they left Uncle Zhongyi's mansion.

After Wei Ruo left, everyone in the Wei family checked the gifts that Wei Ruo had brought, but found that Wei Ruo's several gifts brought back to the door were all fake, and there was nothing valuable at all.

This disappointed everyone in the Wei family who had been expecting this.

Especially Bai Shi, she said bitterly: "What, it's nice to say, I really thought His Highness Prince Rui doted on her so much, but the return gifts are all worthless things! It's too perfunctory!"

Mo Shi said softly at the side: "Not all of them are like this. You can see that the gifts that Princess Rui gave to mother and third younger brother are very expensive. There are also the Four Treasures of the Study for Yi Chen and the Scar Removing Cream for Yi Lin. They are all very valuable."

"Who knows? I only saw the bracelet from a distance, maybe it's not worth much. As for the cartload of thyme, it's even more difficult to say. It is said that it was sent to the general's mansion. Who knows whether it was sent to the general's mansion in the end, and whether it was ordinary wine or thyme." Bai muttered.

When Mrs. Bai said that, Mrs. Mo had nothing to say.

Yun stood aside without saying a word.

There was nothing prepared for her in the return ceremony, this attitude couldn't be more clear.

It wasn't that she was reluctant to prepare presents, but she just didn't want to prepare them for other people in the mansion.

And her mother's position in her heart is no different from Bai's and the others.

This huge gap made Yun's heart feel like a big stone had been crushed.

When Yun returned to Anxin Pavilion, she saw her husband was packing his luggage.

"When will my husband return to Taizhou?" Yun asked.

"I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Wei Mingting replied.

His visit to Beijing this time was authorized by the emperor to hurry back to attend his daughter's wedding, so he was about to leave for the barracks as soon as his daughter came back.

Hearing this, Yun couldn't help feeling lost and sad, but she also knew that her husband had responsibilities and couldn't slack off.

Yun still wanted to ask Wei Mingting a question, but he hesitated whether to ask it or not.

After standing aside for a long time, Yun couldn't help but asked, "Husband, what did you say to Ruo'er today?"

"Ruo'er asked me some questions, nothing important." Wei Mingting didn't answer directly.

Hearing this, Yun Shi felt more and more depressed and uncomfortable.

"Does my husband not trust my concubine?" Yun asked.

"Don't think too much." Wei Mingting said, "It's been a busy day today, and you're tired too. Take a rest earlier."

Yun was silent for a while, feeling unwilling but still complied, and helped Wei Mingting pack his luggage with a heavy and aggrieved heart.

On the way back to Prince Rui's mansion, Wei Ruo leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes, thinking.

After these three days of calm and precipitation, Wei Ruo has almost sorted out his emotions, and it's time to think about the way to go next.

In fact, she already knew that it would be difficult for her not to be involved in this turmoil for the reserve. The Wei family had Wei Qingwan who was going to marry King Yu as a side concubine, and Wei Mingyong who wanted to cling to King Yu.

At that time, even if she really married an ordinary person as she wished and broke away from the Wei family, if the Wei family did too much, she would still be implicated.

In contrast, she is more active in her current situation. If the matter of Prince Yu affects the Wei family, her status as Princess Rui can protect her; if the second brother intends to fight for the heirloom, at least she can do something, even if she loses in the end, she will not be too aggrieved.

As for the fact that Wei Jin also lied to her, Wei Ruo is naturally still a little angry, but she can put this aside and figure out what she is going to do next.

How to save your own life is the top priority.

She didn't want to spend all her energy on arguing and getting angry with Wei Jinyi. She didn't realize that she forgot to do business until Chu Lan was enthroned as emperor and the knife was on their necks.

Wei Ruo remembered that the setting related to Xu Guogong and Queen Xu in the original book was for Chu Lan to overthrow Chu Heng.

The behind-the-scenes agents who framed Duke Xu were Concubine Qi and her brother.

Because of Chu Lan's exposure of this incident, Concubine Qi fell out of favor, Qi Yansong was dismissed from office and imprisoned in prison, King Yu Chuheng's status plummeted.

Now the second elder brother of this life has found the letters hidden by Duke Xu's mansion and cleared Duke Xu of treason, but he has not found out the mastermind behind the scenes. The current status of Concubine Qi and Chu Heng has not been affected.

I don't know what the second brother's next goal is. Is he trying to overthrow Chu Lan and Chu Heng and ascend to the throne?

If that's what he really wanted, shouldn't she help him?

Wei Ruo's mood is a little conflicted, she has no interest in seizing the world, and she is not good at political affairs.

She has always felt that her brain is not bad, and many things can be remembered after reading and learning.

But this is only limited to the things she is good at, and she is really not good at the things she is not good at.

The only advantage she has in fighting for reserves is probably that she has read the original book, and this point may not be useful now, because of the butterfly effect, the development of the plot is quite different from the original.
