Chapter 792: Donkey-powered fan, Qin Mu's new invention

After comforting Li Xueyan, Qin Mu realized that he might have been a bit too cold to the few women in the inner palace.

Now, Li Xueyan was pregnant; Wu Meiniang's heart must also be very anxious.

The two of them had held their wedding ceremonies at the same time, with almost the same number of times being favored.

However, Li Xueyan had one, and Wu Meiniang did not.

He went to the inner palace.

Several bored women were gathered together, singing lyrics they had each newly written.

The other twelve noble family young ladies had a status clearly a level lower, only able to dance along to the singing on the side, without the qualifications to participate in the discussion of the lyrics.

This was not to blame them for discrimination; in fact, the entire inner palace now guarded against these noble family young ladies very strictly.

It was their background that harmed them.

Seeing Qin Mu arrive, the women were all very excited.

Especially the twelve noble family young ladies, who were even more radiant with joy, their faces glowing.

Because only Qin Mu did not have that kind of prejudice against their social status.

"Your Majesty, I have newly choreographed a dance, shall I dance it for you to see?"

"Your Majesty must be tired, let me help you pound your legs!"

"Your Majesty, here are some Western Region grapes just sent, let me peel them for you to eat."

The enthusiastic women surrounded Qin Mu all at once, making him a bit overwhelmed. "Alright, you all restrain yourselves a bit."

His ears were full of various coquettish cries.

Qin Mu splashed cold water on them before he managed to suppress their enthusiasm.

Coming this time, the main thing was still to find Wu Meiniang.

Regarding this woman, Qin Mu's feelings were still a bit complex.

Her original background was also considered quite good; her father was originally the Governor of Lizhou in Great Tang, and she had lived a life similar to the noble family young ladies since childhood.

But later, her father died of illness. She and her mother were driven out of the house by her two older brothers.

Just because her mother was her father's second wife.

After drifting on the streets, she also suffered quite a bit, learning to observe people's expressions.

Ever since she was saved by Qin Mu in Yizhou last time, Wu Meiniang had been determined to follow Qin Mu.

She even went so far as to voluntarily go to the Laundry Bureau to be a laundry maid.

Relying on this tenacity and unyielding pursuit, she was finally able to be married into the palace by Qin Mu.

"It's hot in the summer, I'll give you all something!"

A group of women were all very curious.

The Emperor wanted to give them something; no matter what it was, that was a supreme honor.

Therefore, even before seeing the thing, they were already cheering excitedly.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to give us?"

Qin Mu didn't say first, but directly had people move it up.

It was something like a wheel, but without spokes, only four blades. Outside, it was also made with wire to form a guardrail, covering the blades.

"What is this?"

The thing was moved over, and a donkey was also led over.

Several little eunuchs assembled the connecting rods and then harnessed the donkey. With a whip to the donkey, the donkey walked forward, and the blades immediately began to rotate rapidly.

A cool breeze blew up.

"Wow, is this a fan?"

Ordinary fans were either round or long, requiring people to shake them with effort.

But this fan was pulled by a donkey.

Moreover, the blades rotated very quickly, and the wind force was very strong. With one such machine, even if a dozen people were dancing, they wouldn't feel hot.

The wind force was continuous and stable, and it could also create a feeling of fairy-like clothes fluttering.

"This thing is too magical!"

"Your Majesty, what is it called?"

Qin Mu was also on a whim and designed such a thing, not having named it yet.

At this time, he made up a name casually.

"Let's call it the Donkey-powered Fan."

Donkey-powered Fan!

A group of women all giggled.

This name was sonorous and powerful, simple and easy to understand!

Wu Meiniang was very attentive to the things Qin Mu did.

Seeing that Qin Mu had made a Donkey-powered Fan, and that this thing was indeed very magical, no one had ever thought of it this way before.

Using a donkey to pull a fan, not only was the wind force very strong, but it was continuous. Once, it could blow on a dozen people.

It was countless times better than palace maids fanning!

Therefore, Wu Meiniang thought that this must be something Qin Mu was preparing to do something big? Perhaps there was some big plan behind it?

"Your Majesty, are you thinking of using this Donkey-powered Fan to set a trap for Great Tang?"

Mentioning setting a trap for Great Tang, those twelve noble family young ladies consciously stood up and went to stand far away.

During this period, they had already become accustomed to this.

Even if others didn't suspect them, they themselves needed to avoid suspicion.

Qin Mu originally hadn't thought about setting a trap, but hearing Wu Meiniang ask this, he asked with great interest.

"What did Meiniang think of?"

Wu Meiniang saw that His Majesty wanted to test her, and she was so excited that her little face turned red.

Being able to be tested by Qin Mu was also an honor.

The other few women all looked at Wu Meiniang with envy.

Envy was useless; they hadn't thought of what kind of trap such a Donkey-powered Fan could be used to set? Wu Meiniang also had some quick wit; just seeing this Donkey-powered Fan, she thought of its use.

"Your Majesty, the Donkey-powered Fan is easy to use and will definitely be welcomed by the noble families. Why not sell the Donkey-powered Fan in large quantities to Jiangnan?

To buy this Donkey-powered Fan, one must buy a donkey. There are no donkeys in Jiangnan; as long as we raise the price of donkeys, we can make a big profit from the Jiangnan noble families!"

Clap, clap, clap!

Qin Mu clapped a few times, expressing appreciation for this scheme of Wu Meiniang's.

She was worthy of being a female emperor embryo; she hadn't followed Qin Mu for long, but she had already learned some of Qin Mu's ways of thinking.

This scheme had a very strong Qin Mu style.

Being able to think of this strategy in such a short time after the Donkey-powered Fan was assembled was already not easy.

Worthy of encouragement!

"Meiniang, then have you ever thought that this Donkey-powered Fan is not only pulled by donkeys, but can also be pulled by people?"

"Ah?"

Wu Meiniang opened her cherry-red mouth, clearly hit by Qin Mu's strike to the crux of the problem.

Her thinking was still somewhat limited.

Qin Mu explained.

"In Great Tang, those noble families won't respect ordinary people, and they still retain the lowly status now.

If donkeys are too expensive, they only need to let the lowly people pull them; not only can they pull well, but they can also save quite a bit of money.

Therefore, your donkey strategy cannot be effective."

How could Wu Meiniang have thought of this?

The scheme didn't work out and turned into making a fool of herself; she blushed and lowered her head.

She said weakly: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to help, I didn't expect to come up with a stupid idea." ===== CHAPTER 794 =====
