I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 12 Shuttle
"Concubine, are you feeling better now?" Liu Yourong looked at Concubine Liu with concern. She had just helped Concubine Liu drink some ginseng soup.

"I feel a little better. My chest doesn't hurt as much anymore." Concubine Liu breathed a sigh of relief. She was now in a much better mood.

"Xun'er is really something. Why is he so stubborn today? But Xun'er has always been filial. When his stubbornness subsides tomorrow, he will come to you to apologize." Liu Yourong comforted Concubine Liu softly.

"Alas, this son is becoming more of a bastard as he grows older, while this daughter is becoming more caring as she grows older!" Concubine Liu said with emotion while holding Liu Yourong's hand.

"Don't say that, Toffee. Brother Xuan was just acting on impulse."

"Yourong, you don't have to plead for that rebellious son. I know my own son well. I feel that Yan'er is different this time!" Concubine Liu changed her position and lay on the couch.

"What are you talking about, Concubine?" Liu Yourong stretched out her hand and skillfully gave Concubine Liu a massage.

"This is the first time I see him so persistent about something. I've never seen the look in his eyes like that before." Concubine Liu half-closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage.

"By the way?" Concubine Liu seemed to have suddenly thought of something, "Did Xuan'er look at you many times today?"

Liu Yourong stopped her hand movements immediately, her cheeks flushed, and she whispered, "Don't make fun of Yourong, Concubine."

"I am kidding. In the past two months, this guy has been secretly glancing at you every time he comes to my place. I just don't want to expose it."

"Concubine." Liu Yourong said coquettishly, her face turned even redder, and she buried her head in her chest in shame, while gently shaking Concubine Liu with her hand.

"Okay, okay, I'm asking you seriously, did he look at you a lot today?"

Liu Yourong saw that Concubine Liu was not joking, so she thought seriously for a moment and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "It seems that I only took a glance."

"That's bad! It seems like it won't be easy to suppress Xuan'er's strength this time!"

"What can Brother Xuan do no matter how strong he is? The whole palace listens to the Dowager Concubine. As long as the Dowager Concubine doesn't agree, it will be useless for Brother Xuan to do anything."

"That's true. I can suppress him and make him unable to do anything, but this is the Prince of Jing's Mansion. He is the Prince of Jing. He is the owner of this palace and its future! In the future, more and more people will side with him. I can only suppress him for a few years. By then, my words will not be effective!" Concubine Liu said somewhat sadly.

Liu Yourong wanted to speak out to comfort Concubine Liu, but she didn't know where to start. It must be said that Concubine Liu saw through things too clearly.

The two of them fell silent.

Finally, it was Concubine Liu who broke the silence, "How is my loom?"

"It was cut, but it can still be repaired." Liu Yourong said quickly.

"That loom was my dowry. It has been with me for almost twenty years. I have used this loom to weave a lot of cloth and made many sets of clothes for you, Xun'er, and the late king." Concubine Liu fell into memories.

"This palace is a big cage. People in this cage must have some hobbies and find something to do, otherwise life will be hard to endure!" Concubine Liu said in a dreamy voice.

After hearing this, Liu Yourong was silent again. After waiting for a while, she found that Concubine Liu had fallen asleep. She gently covered Concubine Liu with a blanket and then quietly left.

After retreating to the outer room, she stood there in a daze for a while, and then her eyes fell on the loom that was cut.

After a brief thought, he asked a few eunuchs to carefully lift the loom and then walked towards the workshop.
As soon as Zhu Houxuan walked into the Gongzheng Institute, he saw the familiar figure.

"Sister Rong, why are you here?" Zhu Houxuan said in surprise.

"I'm here to bring the concubine's loom to be repaired." Liu Yourong glared at Zhu Houxuan and said unhappily.

"Is that so?" Zhu Houxuan looked at the tall and pretty girl in front of him, and couldn't help but let his eyes wander over her.

Zhu Houxuan, as a time traveler and a person who has seen the world in the information age, should not have lost his composure like this, but Liu Yourong is indeed beautiful, and her name is as beautiful as her.
There is an idiom that says, "Tolerance is greatness".
As he was not familiar with the structure of women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houxuan, an old driver, could not accurately estimate its size, but it had to be around D at least. This was also the reason why he kept sneaking glances at Liu Yourong when he visited Concubine Liu.

There was no way. The tall and hot body, beautiful face, gentle personality and pure temperament were too lethal to an old driver like him. Even if he had watched countless movies, he couldn't help but steal a peek. Moreover, this body was in its full vigor.

"Hmph!" A cold snort came into Zhu Houxun's ears. He instantly woke up and saw Liu Yourong looking at him angrily.

"Your Highness! I'll go back first." After saying that, Liu Yourong got up and left. The two of them grew up together and could be considered childhood sweethearts. Although there was a huge gap in their status, Liu Yourong had no fear of Zhu Houxuan.

"Hey, Sister Rong, please listen to my explanation." Zhu Houxuan tried to make amends.

But she soon walked away, leaving him with only her graceful back.

Zhu Houxuan watched the graceful figure disappear into the corner before reluctantly looking away. He did not chase after her because he still knew what his main business was.

He looked at the damaged loom that Liu Yourong left at the Gongzheng Institute. Memories of his past life kept churning in his mind, and a new idea suddenly popped up in his mind. Although he had already made some plans on the way here, none of them was as good as this new idea.

He planned to make a flying shuttle loom. In his previous life, he had seen a video introducing the flying shuttle loom, and he remembered the content of the video in full. Combined with the fragmentary knowledge of the flying shuttle loom he had seen elsewhere, he suddenly found that he was very clear about the structure and principle of the flying shuttle, and also knew how to arrange the springs and guide rails.

So he asked Hou Sen to bring him paper and pen, but he threw the brush aside after just drawing a few strokes. Drawing with a brush is really uncomfortable.

He asked someone to find materials, quickly made himself a simple charcoal pencil, and began to draw the design drawings of the various parts of the shuttle. Half an hour later, Zhu Houxuan had drawn four drawings.

Hou Sen came up and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, what is this painting? I don't understand it."

"This is a new loom! It is several times faster than the existing looms in the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Houxuan said with satisfaction as he looked at the blueprint. He had finally taken the first step in promoting the industrial revolution, and he would keep this blueprint well.

Then he summoned Jin Tong and the carpenters from Gongzheng Office. There was a lot of carpentry work in the mansion, and the carpenters on duty at Gongzheng Office all had good skills.

He put the blueprint in front of everyone and began to explain how to make a flying shuttle loom.
