Chapter Twenty-Six: Interesting Drawings
be so direct. In this society where etiquette was paramount, men only spoke flippantly to two kinds of women: those who frequented pleasure quarters and those they kept as playthings.So, in his eyes,..."Unhappy" Fu Zimo sat端坐在 the soft brocade cushion, with a freshly brewed teapot and several exquisite snacks laid out before him. He raised his lips slightly and added, "I wield the knife, you are the fish on the chopping board. Even if you're unhappy, you have to endure it."
After finishing his words, Fu Zimo propped up his elbow, lazily half-lying down, then closed his eyes and no longer looked at Qin Luoyan.
Hold on! Screw that!
Qin Luoyan gritted her teeth in anger, but she was powerless and could only watch this man swaggering in front of her. However, she always believed that the situation could change, and there would be a day when she could hold her head high.
Qin Luoyan hadn't eaten anything that morning, she was so hungry her front chest pressed against her back. Seeing the snacks on his table, she grabbed one without thinking and took a bite. Seeing that Fu Zimo didn't seem to react, she felt relieved and started eating boldly.
Although she hadn't spent much time with him, Qin Luoyan had gotten a rough sense of his personality. As long as he didn't object, it meant he acquiesced. Such a proud and aloof man was something Qin Luoyan had never encountered before in her life.
She ate two pieces, then took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom and carefully wrapped a few pastries. Then she lifted the curtain of the carriage and beckoned to Kinuki who was walking at the back. Kinuki immediately came over.
"Yisheng, come eat some breakfast," Qin Luoyan threw a napkin wrapped with snacks over, Jinmu reached out and caught it, then shoved it into the hands of the child in front of him.
Qin Yisheng timidly held the snacks, but he didn't rush to eat them. Instead, he looked towards the carriage. Although he still didn't speak, Qin Luoyan just knew that he was worried about her.
"I'm fine, don't worry, the King is a very nice person." Qin Luoyan raised her smile and gave him a knowing look, then lowered the curtain.
"How am I doing" Fu Zi Mo suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Qin Luo Yan with a profound meaning.
Qin Luoyan rolled her eyes at him and shrank into a corner, "That was just comforting a kid, don't take it seriously."
"Oh" Fu Zimu didn't answer, his gaze falling on her snowy collar, as if he could see something through it.
Noticing his gaze, Qin Luo'yan gritted her teeth in anger and tightened her clothes, still muttering discontentedly: "Men are truly animals who only think with their lower bodies. They can think of anything in a messy way."
"You just said that I was good, didn't you I thought you were satisfied with my endurance." Fu Zimuo said lightly, then closed his eyes to rest.
"Rogue!" Qin Luoyan took a while to react, she seemed to have been teased by this shameless man.
The carriage was very quiet, with only the sound of the wheels rolling. The bumpy carriage was simply worlds apart from modern cars. Not only was it slow, but the comfort level was truly unimpressive.
The team had only gone for a while when someone brought over a bamboo tube. Fu Zi Mo took the bamboo tube and looked at it inside the carriage.
Qin Luo yan thought, it is also, like Fu Zi Mo such a person who deals with everything every day, in the carriage handling official documents is normal, spending half a month's time on the road is not like his style.
What Qin Luoyan hadn't expected was that she thought those papers were ordinary official documents, but when she accidentally brushed against the pattern on one of the papers, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Then, it turned out not to be an ordinary official document, but blueprints for weapons manufacturing!
Ever since she last saw that Heavenly Mechanism Ring, Qin Luoyan had been captivated by the weapon-making technology of this era. This was a time of cold weapons, with no airplanes, cannons, or powerful gunpowder. Yet, despite these limitations, the things they crafted were so intricate and sophisticated, it was truly awe-inspiring to witness the ingenuity of mankind.
She shifted her gaze, leaning closer to Fu Zimo. As soon as she moved, she immediately caught his attention. "What Interested in this"
Qin Luoyan was startled. This Fu Zimuo's senses were too acute! She quickly shook her head, "I'm just a sheltered woman who doesn't go out much. I have no interest in these esoteric things. I was just leaning over because your cushion looked comfortable."
Fu Zimuo stared at her face, as if trying to glean something from it. But he didn't say anything in the end, only pointed to his leg. "Since you've come over, do your maid duty."
Qin Luoyan's lips twitched, "When did I become your maidservant" Although she said so, this time she was still very obedient and began to knead his legs.
Yesterday, this King saved that boy for you. You belong to this King now. With your figure, being this King's bed warmer would be just right.
傅子墨 spoke while picking up a blueprint again to look at.
"A bed warmer" Qin Luoyan hadn't expected this. Fu Zimo had even thought of an identity for her, but this identity...was truly maddening!
Fu Zi Mo did not answer her exclamation, but shook his head while looking at the blueprints and said, "Are you sure this drawing was stolen from that person"
Qin Luoyan was still puzzled. There were only her and Fu Zimu in this carriage, his words didn't seem to be directed at her, so who was he asking Just then, someone outside the carriage window replied.
The voice that responded belonged to a young man. “Reporting to my lord, it was indeed obtained from that person. However, the complete blueprint was divided into twenty-eight parts, and we only got fifteen. Therefore, I have tried for a long time but couldn’t piece them together.”
Fu Zi Mo listened, his brows furrowed again. The atmosphere in the carriage grew heavy because of his expression. For a while, he didn't speak, just flipping through those blueprints.
Qin Luoyan pressed his leg while looking at the drawings in his hand. Perhaps in this era, there were no women who had seen weapon blueprints, so Fu Zimo did not shy away from her. However, every time he flipped a page, Qin Luoyan's eyes would light up.
That set of blueprints designed a kind of repeating crossbow. Although it was only a part, the ingenious joints in it couldn't help but make Qin Luoyan admire it. The more she looked, the itchier her hands became, like a compulsion to work. She felt restless if she didn't tinker with it and try to assemble it.
"My lord, are you playing a jigsaw puzzle game Can I play too" Qin Luoyan rubbed his legs for him, putting on an innocent and naive face.
Fu Zi Mo's pupils contracted for a moment, silent for a while before asking, "Do you want to play Do you understand"
Qin Luoyan covered her mouth and smiled, "Your Highness, it's just a pattern, isn't it Although I don't know what it is for, it's just about piecing it together. I don't know what it's painted, but when I was at home, I was best at embroidery. The patterns of embroidery are similar to this one. Why don't you let me try"
