Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 155 I have something to do with you

  The night before yesterday, Li Xin was in Yonglefang and made two convex lenses from those two pieces of top-quality water jade.

   Then yesterday, Li Xin spent another day to adjust the appropriate focal length, and then fixed it with a wooden tube to make the world's first monocular!

   Although this telescope is extremely simple, it only has a magnification effect of about seven or eight times, and the cost is very expensive, but I have to say that this is a rare thing that is unique in this era, and it will definitely make the emperor of Chengde feel novel.

   More importantly, if this thing can be applied to the army, it means that the Great Jin has more clairvoyances. Some military scouts with natural eyesight can even borrow this telescope to become a veritable "clairvoyant".

   You must know that this is an era with extremely poor combat conditions, and generals leading troops may even get lost. If you can predict the enemy's opportunities on the battlefield, you will gain an innate advantage.

However, if this thing is to be mass-produced in the future, it is still necessary to get the glass out first. Although Li Xin has never been in contact with the glass industry in his last life, he probably knows that it is a mixture of quartz sand and soda ash, etc., but he has no specifics. If you want to figure out the formula, it will take at least several years or even more than ten years to figure it out slowly.

   Right now, the telescope made of natural crystal he is carrying can be said to be the only one.

   Of course, the Dajin royal family is all over the world. If the emperor of Chengde likes it, just use natural crystals, and you can make a lot of them.

  The process of the emperor's holy birthday is that all officials go first to give congratulatory gifts, then the emperor accepts the pilgrimage of hundreds of officials, and in the evening, a banquet is held in the palace to entertain hundreds of civil and military officials.

   At this time, the seventh prince and the civil and military officials had entered the Changle Palace, and Ji Lingxiu had also sorted out her clothes and was ready to go in.

However, there was no place for Li Xin in the main hall of Changle Palace. Li Xin could only wait outside the hall. In desperation, Colonel Li handed a wooden box in his arms to the Ninth Princess and whispered, "Your Highness, This is the gift I prepared for your majesty, and when your majesty asked, you said that this thing is called a telescopic mirror, and it can see very far."

   Ji Lingxiu took the wooden box over with some vague understanding, turned around and entered Changle Palace.

  Li Xin was standing in the shade of the gate of Changle Palace waiting. He knew that it would not be long before someone would call him inside.

  Because this thing is very magical, once the Chengde Emperor asked the truth, the Ninth Princess couldn't say why, so he would "confess" Li Xin.

   Of course, this is not a bad thing, but a great good thing.

Li Xin is now just a vine that is attached to others. If he is attached to the seventh prince, he will only be a vine for a long time in the future, but if he can enter the sight of the emperor of Chengde, he may become a tree by himself. Even a very thin tree is much better than a vine.

   After closing his eyes and resting at the entrance of the main hall for more than half an hour, a little **** hurried out of Changle Palace, looked around, and asked sharply, "Who is Li Xin?"

   At this time, in addition to Li Xin, there were some people waiting outside the hall, most of them were people who were not qualified to enter the hall like Li Xin.

  Li Xin's face was calm and he took a step forward.

   "The next official is Li Xin."

   The little **** bent towards Li Xin: "Li Xiaowei, Your Majesty has summoned you, come in with me quickly."

  Li Xin nodded, sorted his clothes, followed behind the little eunuch, and stepped into Changle Palace.

It is not the first time for Li Xin to come to the main hall of Changle Palace. The last time he came, he just came back from the southern border, and the emperor of Chengde asked questions, so Li Xin also understood the rules. After entering the main hall, Li Xin Xin took a deep breath and knelt down on the ground: "Yulin Wei Li Xin, meet the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven has a boundless life."

   This sentence was also taught by Ji Lingxiu to Li Xin in the morning, and it was a congratulatory message to the emperor's birthday.

   At this time, the emperor of Chengde was playing with a wooden tube in his hand, and from time to time he put his eyes to look into the distance, Princess Qinghe was standing beside the emperor, and his expression was a little cramped.

   In this way, it is not difficult to guess what just happened.

  The emperor of Chengde played for a while, looked at Li Xin, who was kneeling on the ground, and smiled: "Get up and talk."

  Li Xin stood up, still bowing his head.

The emperor of Chengde put the telescopic mirror on his right eye, closed his left eye, and pointed the mirror at Li Xin, who was under the imperial steps. He could easily see the drooping hair of the young man. The emperor of Chengde put down the telescopic mirror, Tsk tsk admiration: "It is indeed a wonderful thing, just now Xiaojiu brought it up, I still don't believe it, Li Xin, how did this thing come out?"

  The emperor of Chengde was an extremely smart emperor. After seeing this thing, he immediately thought of its use.

  Military!

   Dajin is now on the surface, but there are hidden dangers on both sides of the north and south, especially the south. If this thing can be used in a large-scale military, then it will be like a normal person bullying the blind man, taking advantage of the opportunity.

Li Xin said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this thing can only be made with the best water jade, and the cost is extremely expensive. Princess Qinghe spent a lot of money to get such a thing out of filial piety, and wants to please Your Majesty. ."

  The emperor of Chengde put down the telescopic mirror in his hand in disappointment, turned his head to look at the nine princesses, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu has a heart, you can go back with your things in the palace, but you can't let my little daughter suffer."

Ji Lingxiu hurriedly saluted the Emperor Chengde and smiled: "My father is celebrating today's birthday, it is normal for my sons and daughters to give some things, as long as the father likes it, the daughter does not dare to ask for anything from the father, lest the mother and concubine have to say it again. daughter."

  The emperor of Chengde squinted his eyes, reached out and touched the head of the nine princesses, hehe smiled and said: "Okay, it's hard to be filial to you, I will accept this thing."

   At this time, it was just that the princes and princesses had finished sending the congratulatory gifts, and the civil and military officials had not yet begun. The emperor of Chengde turned to look at the officials under the imperial order, and said indifferently: "Go ahead."

  Eldest **** Chen Ju stepped forward and sang loudly, "Hundred officials congratulate you."

   So, the process continues.

  Li Xin bent over and said, "Your Majesty, this minister retire."

   Those who can stand in this hall are at least fifth-rank officials. There is no place for Li Xin here, so he naturally has to go out and wait.

  The emperor of Chengde squinted his eyes, pointed to a position in the farthest corner, and said lazily: "You just stand there and wait, you don't have to go out, I have something to do with you later."

  Li Xin hesitated for a while, then lowered his head and said, "The minister follows the order."

   At this moment, the civil and military officials in the hall all set their sights on this young man.

   Among them, the Zaifu who was talking to Li Xin, Huan Chu, the servant in the door, took a deep look at the young man with a smile on his face.
