Chapter 360: The Emperor’s Eyes Are on the Bicycle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the court session, the Emperor asked the Imperial Duke to stay.

“My beloved subject, let me have a look at your bicycle.”

When the Imperial Duke heard this, he laughed and said, “Emperor, why don’t you go out and take a look? My bicycle is still parked outside.”

The Emperor thought about it and happily agreed.

It was reasonable to say that the courtiers said that the carriage could not enter the inner gate and had to stop outside the middle gate and then walk in. However, the Imperial Duke had come on a bicycle, so the guards did not know if they should stop him. Moreover, at that time, the Imperial Duke had pushed the carriage in, so they simply did not stop him.

Therefore, the Imperial Duke’s bicycle was currently parked in the square outside Taiji Palace.

Duke Zhengguo bowed to the Emperor and said respectfully, “Emperor, this is the bicycle that Princess Dingan invented.”

With that, he stepped over with one foot and sat on the saddle. He kicked off the support leg, then put one foot on the pedal, and with the other foot, the bicycle started to move. Then, the Imperial Duke put his other foot on the pedal, and his two feet stepped on the bicycle one after the other.

He controlled the bicycle and quickly made a few rounds in the square. The Emperor was dumbfounded and said in surprise, “There’s such a magical thing in this world? The two wheels could actually move smoothly on the ground!

It’s not slow either!”

The Imperial Duke laughed. “this is indeed strange, it seems that Princess Ding’an has some great talent.”

The Emperor stroked his beard and said proudly, “Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made her a Princess. The Wei Kingdom needs these talented people.”

In the beginning, when he wanted to make Jian Qingqing a Princess, these people were strongly opposed. They thought that she was just lucky and could not bear such a big identity. It was enough to give her some rewards. Now that Jian Qingqing invented the bicycle, it made him lose face. Didn’t this mean that he had a good eye?

At the mention of this, the Imperial Duke was a little embarrassed, because he had been one of those who opposed it before. However, as a qualified official, he naturally needed to correct his mistakes, so he smiled apologetically and said, “I was wrong. The Emperor is worthy of being the Emperor, his eyes are good.”

The Emperor laughed smugly. He looked at the bicycle under the Imperial Duke’s seat and felt a little itchy in his heart. However, he was too embarrassed to ask for things from his officials, so he could only give up.

The Imperial Duke did not see through the Emperor’s thoughts. After all, the Emperor was the most respected person in the world. This bicycle was still very difficult to ride. It would be difficult if he fell.

After sending off the Imperial Duke, the Emperor looked at his figure riding the bicycle and flying out of the palace gate. He was really envious. However, he had the burden of being the Emperor after all. Naturally, he could not ask Jian Qingqing for it personally. So he thought for a while, turned around, and went to Princess Anning’s Palace.

Princess Anning was currently being pressed down by a maidservant to embroider something. She was active, but her embroidery skills were not very good. Both her hands were poked with needle holes, and her eyes were teary from the pain. However, this maidservant was sent by the Empress to keep an eye on her, so she was not soft-hearted at all.

Princess Anning had no choice but to embroider the twisted handkerchief while complaining in her heart.

At this time, she missed Jian Qingqing very much. If Jian Qingqing was here, she would not have to embroider a handkerchief and could play with her. She did not know what Jian Qingqing was busy with, but she had not come to visit her for a long time.

Before the Emperor even entered the door, his voice could be heard. He laughed and said, “What is my Eldest Princess doing?

Princess Anning looked at the door in surprise.. She immediately threw down her handkerchief and ran out happily, “Father, why are you here at this time?!”
