Chapter 61

The emperor entered Concubine Liu's bedroom, it was already late at night.

On this day, he had too many things to attend to, busy thinking about elevating the wisdom level of his sons, busy thinking about replacing incompetent ministers, and giving them topics for the exam five days later.

He also needed to compile the thoughts of the Little Princess on preventing and curing the epidemic into a booklet to be handed over to the Imperial Hospital.

After finishing all these tasks, it was already moonrise.

But when Xiao Yunzhou came over, he found that Concubine Liu had not yet put out the light, obviously waiting for him to bring the Little Princess back before sleeping.

And his first action was to have Zhang Jia take the Little Princess away.

Because what he was about to say next, he didn't want the Little Princess, who was believed to be the reincarnation of a fairy, to hear.

Her father, and her mother Concubine Liu, could hear her thoughts...

If the Little Princess found out, she might become more reserved in the future, no longer acting on her thoughts so freely.

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou thought to himself, as soon as he entered the bedroom, he went straight to Concubine Liu and got straight to the point.

"Concubine Liu, don't try to deceive Us, be honest, the idea of the spinning wheel was not your own, was it?"

But then, he was taken aback by the expression of anger that appeared on his face because of being kept in the dark.

Because when he walked behind the screen in the room, he saw a table full of drawing papers—

On the paper, there were dissected drawings of different angles of the loom, as well as the components that make it up.

Some were marked with a big X, and some were crumpled up and thrown on the table.

And on the table, there were at least five or six open books on silkworm breeding and weaving.

Many of the texts in the books were circled, highlighted, and even had notes written down.

Concubine Liu was looking troubled, holding a pen in her hand, drawing a new loom, but crossing it out halfway through.

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou's accusations and suspicions had dissipated by half.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Liu finally noticed him, hurriedly stood up, and gave him a bow.

But there was still a lingering look of worry between her eyebrows.

"What are you doing?" Emperor Xiao Yunzhou, almost forgot his previous questioning, looked at the dozen or so sketches in Concubine Liu's hands.

Concubine Liu was still somewhat distracted, sighed, "I am thinking, after improving the spinning wheel, whether the weaving process can also be improved again to speed up the weaving process."

"But after thinking for a few days, discussing with a few craftsmen from the Ministry of Works, and trying a few methods, we only managed to make half of the loom."

"The new machine we made still keeps making mistakes. I am reading books, and then organizing the daytime female workers' experiences, thinking about how to improve."

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou looked down and saw Concubine Liu frowning, deep in thought.

Looking at the sketches on the table, they were indeed step-by-step drawings of the loom's changes.
