Chapter 38: Hand-painted cannon drawings are released
Shangguan Wan'er closed the imperial edict and handed it to Yang Yanzhang, but her eyes bypassed him and fell on a maid behind him.

These maids given by Wu Zetian, who had just listened to the content of the imperial edict through the crack in the door, showed surprise when they learned that Yang Yanzhang had been awarded a title, and were now chattering in low voices.

The leading female officer, however, seemed a little calm and distracted.

"Yuqing, come here, I have something to tell you."

Shangguan Wan'er took a few steps forward and pulled the female officer into the house.

Seeing this, Yang Yanzhang was a little confused.

This female official was the leader among the palace maids. She was older, but her age was unknown. As for her name, Yang Yanzhang only knew her as Yuqing.

From the look of Shangguan Wan'er, it seems that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

But this is actually not surprising. After all, Shangguan Wan'er was also a female official next to Wu Zetian, so the two naturally knew each other.

But after they entered, he heard the voices of the palace ladies talking.

"Sir Shangguan doesn't know what she said to her sister. She's so mysterious. Is there something big going on?"

"Did Lord Shangguan see that Yang Yushi got the title and was afraid that her sister would offend Yang Yushi, so he went inside to give instructions?"

……

After listening, Yang Yanzhang was a little surprised.

"This palace maid named Yuqing is actually Shangguan Wan'er's sister! If that's the case, shouldn't she be called Shangguan Yuqing?"

Yang Yanzhang also knew about the Shangguan family.

Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather, Shangguan Yi, was the prime minister during the Gaozong period. Just because Shangguan Yi drafted the edict to abolish the queen, which offended Wu Zetian, she was later framed and killed by Wu Zetian, and her family became official maids.

I thought that Shangguan Yi only had one granddaughter, but now it seems that there are two, but Shangguan Yuqing is not famous in history.

But even so, the fact that Shangguan Yuqing can be a female official shows that Wu Zetian also thinks highly of her.

"What are these two sisters mumbling about?"

Yang Yanzhang was very curious.

However, seeing that Shangguan Wan'er never came out, Yang Yanzhang simply closed the door and went back to the study.

"Although Wu Zetian has bad intentions towards me, she really has nothing to say to me! Because of me, everyone has lost their trusted confidant Xue Huaiyi, and Lai Junchen is also being left alone now, but she can still give me my house and title! You have to say When drinking water, remember the source and repay the kindness. I have to find a way to repay this friendship!"

In fact, the main reason was that he would not repay the love and was afraid that Wu Zetian would repay the favor and force him to warm the bed.

But of course Yang Yanzhang would not choose to sell his appearance to pay off his debts. As a time traveler, he certainly has enough methods.

"By the way, the power of the cannon is quite good. It can shoot a distance of nearly ten miles. The power is also good, which proves that this matter can be concluded! In this case, the manufacturing blueprint of this cannon can be finalized!"

"As long as this map is completed, it will be a national treasure map!"

"The River Map and the Luoshu Map, the Mountain, River, and State Map, those are all rubbish! Compared with this extremely practical cannon blueprint, it's all bullshit!"

So, Yang Yanzhang locked himself in the study, and after repeated revisions from day to night, he finally drew a cannon manufacturing drawing!
"With only a piece of paper, I can only write and draw the key steps. Without my teaching, even if you get this thing, you will encounter countless problems and you will never be able to make a usable cannon!"

"But that's just right! After all, this can be regarded as a sacred weapon for ruling the country. If you make it too easy to understand, it will make people lose their sense of awe! Make it mysterious so that I can show off!"

Seeing that he was done, Yang Yanzhang stood up and stretched.As a result, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure standing outside the door, which shocked him at first glance.

"Who is outside? Don't stand here if you have nothing to do. It's scary."

A pleasant laughter immediately sounded outside: "Your Excellency is superb in martial arts and is better than my slave sister, but how come you are so timid?"

With that said, the door opened and Shangguan Yuqing walked in, holding a plate with roast chicken, some beef and a porcelain wine bottle.

This scene surprised Yang Yanzhang, who stared at her in surprise.

As the superior of this group of palace maids, Shangguan Yuqing had always been cold and arrogant in the past. Even when facing Yang Yanzhang, she was only less cold, but she had never behaved like this.

Moreover, cooking and serving dishes had always been the responsibility of other palace maids, and she had always directed them, rather than doing it herself.

Today's situation is really weird.

"Yuqing, why are you like this today? Could it be that you also have evil thoughts towards me?"

Shangguan Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then shook his hands and almost dropped the plate. At the same time, his face showed shame and anger, and his face turned red to the base of his ears!
"What nonsense are you talking about! Do you think everyone cares about you? I just heard that you humiliated the Tibetan envoys for the Tang Dynasty. I was so angry that I sent you wine and food specially! Since you are talking nonsense, this food and wine are not as good as mine Feed it to the cat!"

Yang Yanzhang was really hungry after being so busy during the day, so he stepped out of the way and stopped him: "No, how can you give a cat a drink? You just treat me like a cat, give me the food and drinks!"

Shangguan Yuqing subconsciously moved the plate back. Unexpectedly, the wine bottle and plate on it slid together and were about to fly down.

But Yang Yanzhang relied on his own skills to catch the things and put them on the table. While looking at Shangguan Yuqing, he ate and drank with relish.

"Hey? Why did the taste of today's food change?"

After Yang Yanzhang took a few bites of roast chicken, he muttered strangely.

Shangguan Yuqing suddenly became a little nervous: "Has the taste gotten better or worse?"

Seeing her like this, Yang Yanzhang was thoughtful, and then he sighed seriously: "If I could eat such delicious food every day, I wouldn't even want to go there if I were a god!"

The annoyance on Shangguan Yuqing's face suddenly disappeared by [-]%, and she revealed a faint smile: "What a beautiful thought! Still want to eat every day? Greedy!"

After speaking, he came up and poured a glass of wine for Yang Yanzhang, then walked out with the plate.

Yang Yanzhang stopped eating and drinking, looked at the direction she left and began to think deeply.

"After Shangguan Wan'er talked with her, she changed her previous attitude. If I guess correctly, she made all these dishes herself!"

"But why exactly? What did Shangguan Wan'er say to her? She suddenly treated me so well. Is she planning some evil idea?"

There is no free lunch in the world, Yang Yanzhang absolutely believes this truth.

But considering the situation just now, Shangguan Yuqing didn't seem to be as interested in him as Wu Zetian or Shangguan Wan'er.

If she doesn't want this, what else can she want?

"I can't understand a little female official..."

But Yang Yanzhang didn't think much about the things he couldn't figure out.

After eating and drinking, he took the drawings and entered Shangyang Palace at night!
