Chapter 254: Solving the Problem

ack and work on what I have." After last night, she had no more desire to play. If playing held no meaning anymore, what was the point of wasting timeFu Zi Mo nodded and ordered Jin Mu to set off.The..."Mr. Zhou, the concubine-princess has arrived." The steward shouted and pushed open the door at the same time.

The moment the door was pushed open, Zhou Li and the blacksmith from yesterday, who had such a bad temper, were seen shirtless inside the house. Zhou Li was even holding onto the blacksmith's waist, both of them staring blankly at the direction of the doorway.

"You all..." The head steward walked to the front, seeing Zhou Li and that iron sword hugging together, he forgot to react for a moment. After a while, he hurriedly closed the door, then turned back to Qin Luo Yan, stammering, "No, no, Madam Side Consort, it's not what you think. They, they should be joking, yes, joking!"

In his heart, Guan Shi cursed Zhou Li and the blacksmith ten thousand times over. These two were doing that sort of thing early in the morning and got caught by the side consort! Although "broken sleeves" weren't uncommon these days, this was still a proper occasion, and these two... they were simply too outrageous!

The head steward made up his mind to go back and report these two people to their superiors properly. He couldn't let the Crown Princess misunderstand that he hadn't managed things well, and in turn, have the King influence him.

The manager's mental activities were very rich, but it was Qin Luoyan standing at the door who suffered. Just now, she had only glanced at it briefly and didn't have time to look carefully, but Zhou Li turned out to be a "dan shou" She really didn't see it!

Just as some were puzzled, the door was pushed open from inside. Zhou Li walked out while adjusting his robes and, upon seeing Qin LuoYan, immediately knelt on the ground, "Side Consort, me and Lao Chen were working together forging iron. The hammer was too heavy, so we both lifted it together. You mustn't misunderstand! I have a wife at home!"

Qin Luoyan hadn't spoken yet, but the steward beside her snickered dismissively. "Don't try to fool the side princess anymore. Everyone knows Old Chen is the strongest in the blacksmithing shop, and there's even a hammer he can't lift! Zhou Li, Zhou Li, you said yourself that you're a married man, how can you do such a thing Doesn't this defile the side princess's eyes"

Zhou Li saw the explanation was unclear, and he became flustered, sweating profusely.

At this time, the blacksmith known as Lao Chen also came out. He was a rough man and just wore a coat casually. He said impatiently, "Mr. Zhou, you talked to them so much, they didn't believe you. It’s thanks to us staying up all night to make that thing. Well, I, Lao Chen, won't participate in your business anymore, I'm leaving."

Chen the blacksmith turned and left without a word, ignoring the several people present.

But as soon as he left, Zhou Li reached out and grabbed him. “Lao Chen, don’t be foolish, only you can make that thing, the side princess is waiting anxiously for it, you can’t just leave like this.”

Zhou Li grabbed him and hurriedly turned to Qin Luo Yan, explaining: "Don't mind him, Your Highness. That's just his temper. But really, we didn't do anything. Why don't you come in and see To make what you want, we even found a particularly heavy iron hammer."

"Don't worry, I didn't say I don't believe you. Let's go in and have a look first, shall we" Qin Luoyan smiled faintly, her whole body radiating an aura of intelligence.

That Chen the blacksmith and Zhou Li were both taken aback. An ordinary woman, upon seeing such a scene, wouldn't be anything but blushing shyly—who would have time to listen to their explanations But this side concubine was different. From beginning to end, she hadn't shown any disdain, nor had she hastily judged them without understanding the situation.

They looked at each other, their eyes communicating a single message: This side's princess was remarkably intelligent for a woman.

Then the blacksmith Chen also restrained his dissatisfaction, and seeing Zhou Li leading several people into the house, he hesitated for a moment before following them in.

Inside the house, there was a huge boiler and a stone platform. On the stone platform, there was indeed a hammer much larger than an ordinary iron hammer. Below the hammer, there was a piece of iron the size of a coin. The iron plate was very thin, with sharp and tiny saw teeth on the edge, looking extremely dazzling.

"This is..." Qin Luoyan's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that these two people would make the parts on the drawings in just one night, and the quality looked pretty good, even better than she had imagined.

Zhou Li hurried forward and introduced, “This is what you said, the iron sheet that can be strung together to make whips. Take a look, are you satisfied with its size and shape Because this iron sheet contains Geng Jin, it is more difficult to forge than ordinary ones. Its hardness has increased, so it is not easy to press. That's why we need this big iron hammer. Only with this big hammer can the iron sheet reach your desired thickness.”

After his explanation, Qin Luoyan understood. Plus, seeing a large pile of discarded iron scraps beside him, all seemingly from failed experiments, further confirmed what he said was true.

“I believe you.” Qin Luoyan nodded excitedly, taking the iron tongs from beside her and carefully holding up the thin sheet. She looked at it again and again, becoming more and more shocked. In a time without modern cutting tools, someone had actually crafted a blade as thin as a cicada’s wing with their bare hands! This skill was truly admirable!

Qin Luoyan was a bit excited, so she immediately raised the most brilliant smile and said to Zhou Li and Chen the blacksmith: “Thank you both for your hard work. I am very satisfied with these iron sheets, and moreover, I am pleasantly surprised. I really want to connect these iron sheets right away and try the power of that long whip.”

"As long as the side consort is satisfied, that's all that matters. It's just a pity that these iron sheets are too laborious to make. Just this one sheet and Old Chen took us nearly an hour to complete. Considering we need almost a thousand for the whip, we're quite worried, afraid we won't be able to make enough within seven days..."

Zhou Li sighed, not being arrogant but instead spoke with worry about the difficulties.

“Is it just because a giant hammer is needed, and few blacksmiths have the strength to wield one” Qin Luoyan pondered for a moment, asking uncertainly.

"Yes, that's it, so..." Zhou Li's face was creased with worry.

Qin Luo'yan thought about it carefully, then looked at the environment of the workshop for a while before smiling and saying: "If it's only this reason, I have a way worth trying."

Several people looked at her with disbelief. The steward and Master Chen's faces clearly showed their skepticism. Just a woman, what could she possibly do They couldn't even come up with a solution themselves!

“The concubine-queen has a way That’s really great.” Zhou Li was the only one present who believed in Qin Luo'yan, after all, he had already witnessed Qin Luo'yan’s extraordinary abilities. From some point on, he no longer treated Qin Luo'yan as an ordinary woman in his heart.
