Chapter 266 I knew we did the right thing
"It depends on how you put it. If you put it in the context of childhood, it's because my father and I have a good relationship. My dad couldn't stand seeing me being bullied, so he took me to his house to seek justice."

"To put it more broadly, I just wanted to test whether my newly developed small cannon was any good, so that I could fine-tune it and then present it to Your Majesty!"

"Besides, they were the ones who tried to cut off my leg first. Prince Bei Xu Xiaoyao saw it. Your Majesty, you can ask him, and you'll know the answer!"

"Such a thing actually happened? Even Marquis Beixu Xiaoyao saw it?"

The Emperor of Da Yue hadn't heard about it, mainly because he was busy sending people to check the power of the cannons yesterday and didn't let his guards inquire about it at all, so he didn't know.

"Yes! And it was only thanks to Marquis Xiaoyao's quick thinking and agility that my leg was saved, otherwise I would be a cripple today!"

"Furthermore, Prince Wu'an was also present. If we were wrong, I would have beaten his son. Wouldn't he feel sorry for us? He didn't stop us, so I think we did the right thing!"

After Sheng Wanqiu finished speaking, she started eating pastries. Anyway, that's how it is. If the emperor dares to punish her, she dares to come and empty the national treasury that night.

Besides, her father is no pushover either, and she has a strong backing, so she's not worried about this issue at all.

"Outrageous! How dare he lay a hand on you? This Lu Zhi is really getting worse with age. He has the nerve to do this for a spendthrift!"

"Zhang Dehai, convey my decree: Lu Zhi has committed insubordination and dared to harm the royal princess. He shall be given fifty lashes and have his salary deducted for one year!"

"Lu Rui, you are ignorant and incompetent, a spoiled brat with no manners. Give him one hundred lashes and disqualify him from the imperial examination!"

"Yes! This servant will take men to carry it out immediately!" Zhang Dehai immediately accepted the order and withdrew, leading a squad of imperial guards out of the palace.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for standing up for me. Here, take this. I heard from my father that there is a manufacturing bureau in the palace. You can take a look at it first. There are drawings and configuration tables on it. I have written them in great detail. If there is anything you don't understand, you can summon me to the palace at any time!"

Sheng Wanqiu was surprised that the emperor would side with her. In her excitement, she handed over the blueprints she had prepared beforehand. These included drawings of various cannons, the proportions of explosives, and blueprints of some strange and unusual weapons.

When the Emperor of Da Yue took a look, he almost jumped up with excitement. He knew that Sheng Wanqiu must have something good in her hands. With these things, who would dare to provoke Da Yue in the future? They would blow up those bastards.

Is it too late for him to issue an edict to behead Lu Zhi and his son? Maybe this girl will be so happy that she'll give him something nice!
Lu Zhi and Lu Rui: ? ? ? Why does the back of my neck feel so cold?

"Yonghe, what can I say to you? Tell me quickly, what else do you want? I will bestow everything upon you!"

The Emperor of Great Yue couldn't stop smiling. He was thinking that if Sheng Wanqiu were a man, he would definitely elevate her to a position even higher than that of Grand Tutor Qiao. She was simply a rare genius!

Sheng Wanqiu's eyes lit up and she suddenly had an idea. She smiled and said, "Hehe, Your Majesty, I really have a small request. I hope you can help me with a small favor!" "Don't even mention one request. Even if there are eight, I will agree to them. Tell me quickly!" Emperor Da Yue immediately agreed.

"Your subject wishes to request that you send someone to our village to announce the bestowals upon my grandmother and aunts. You know, old farm women love to show off these things, hehe!"

"This imperial grace is so boundless, my grandmother will surely jump for joy. What do you think?"

"I grant your request! I'll arrange for someone to carry it out immediately." The Emperor of Great Yue had thought it was some kind of request, but it turned out to be just this. That was a piece of cake!

"Then this humble woman thanks Your Majesty!" Sheng Wanqiu knew that since the emperor had agreed to this matter, he would definitely handle it well. For her grandmother, Granny Sheng, this was a great thing, as were her two aunts. They would probably be able to show off for a long time!

"Teacher, I would like Yonghe to participate in the grand court assembly of Beixu Kingdom this time. What do you think?" Emperor Da Yue then turned to Qiao Wenyuan and brought up another matter.

"Why are you asking me? My little girl is going, so I have to go too!" Qiao Wenyuan glared at the emperor. He had watched this kid grow up since he was a child. He knew exactly what the kid was going to do the poop as soon as he took off his pants. He was trying to play tricks on him, just to get him to go too. Don't think he couldn't see through it.

"Haha, teacher, you really care about Yonghe! Okay, you can lead the team and take these kids there. We'll probably set off in about five days."

Sheng Wanqiu was also very curious about this grand court assembly and wanted to see it for herself. Since she was free anyway, she figured she might as well join in the fun.

"Your Majesty, who else do you plan to send to this grand court assembly? Will Sister Yun and Shuxue go?" Sheng Wanqiu asked the question she wanted to know. After all, she had been through life and death with these two and got along very well. In addition, Lu Lingyun wanted to find out about the death of the late Empress. This time, members of the royal families of the five kingdoms would be attending, which was a good opportunity.

"Yes! They'll be going too. Yonghe, do you have any other good candidates to recommend?" The Emperor of Dayue was eager to hear Sheng Wanqiu's thoughts.

"What exactly is this grand court assembly for? I heard from my father that it's just eating and drinking. If that's really the case, then it doesn't matter who we send, does it?"

Upon hearing Sheng Wanqiu's words, Qiao Wenyuan immediately blushed. How could this girl have blurted out something he had just said? It was quite embarrassing.

Emperor Da Yue looked at Qiao Wenyuan, whose face was embarrassed, with amusement. His teacher was really something, turning a competitive exchange event into a tea party. Wasn't he just making a fool of himself?

"The Grand Assembly is actually a cultural exchange between the five nations, similar to a competition. Of course, there will be plenty of food and drink. The winner can receive a valuable prize! And if you come out on top, I will reward you handsomely!"

Sheng Wanqiu understood immediately. It's just the Olympics, right? There's no diving or swimming, it's just a competition of culture, martial arts, or brains. Anyway, it's pretty much the same as what her father said, just eating and drinking!

"Oh, is that so? Then I think Lu Li is quite intelligent, so we can bring him along. If that's alright, my eldest nephews are also of age to see the world. If Your Majesty allows, I would like to bring four of my eldest nephews, but not the younger ones. What do you think?"

“My nephews are all good men, both scholarly and martial. If they follow me, I guarantee they won’t cause trouble. My niece and nephew are also quite good. If it’s playing the piano or something, my niece can definitely take the lead. I can also guarantee they won’t hold us back.”
