Surprise! The Crown Princess drives a mecha into the battlefield

Chapter 117 Birthday Congratulations

Fuel refueling tanks were added all around the capital, and military personnel were assigned to supervise them.

Gu Qingwan had also bought a car for Tutor Sun before, but Tutor Sun was old and could only arrange for a servant in the mansion to drive.

Now, Grand Tutor Sun goes to and from court by carriage.

Older dignitaries just want to ride in a car and don’t want to drive themselves. After all, they spend money to enjoy themselves.

Suddenly, a new profession emerged in the capital - driver.

The driver's monthly salary is much higher than that of an ordinary servant, and he can drive the car for free and earn money at the same time.

Many ordinary people have also signed up to learn driving.

With more cars, parking lots naturally need to be expanded, and open space in the city has become valuable.

Now, every shop in the capital must set up a special parking area in accordance with the court's regulations.

The shop owners have no objection to this new regulation. After all, if others have parking lots but their own shops don’t, it would be too embarrassing and would also affect their business.

In order to prevent congestion caused by random parking, Mu Wanwan put the planning of an underground parking lot on the agenda.

Officials in charge of the transportation department also started to get busy.

Yang Heling is now leading his students to build roads all over the country. There is a person among the Shadow Guards who has awakened earth-related supernatural powers, and Si Yuan also sent him to help, using the supernatural powers to speed up the road construction process.

Si Yuchen's study and Gu Qingwan's bedroom in the palace were also equipped with air conditioners.

Once, when a minister came to the imperial study to discuss important matters with Si Yuchen, he found that the imperial study was unusually cool.

He would run to the imperial study from time to time to use the air conditioning. Other ministers noticed that this guy kept running to the emperor's study and thought that he was trying to gain some benefits from the emperor.

They all began to follow suit, fearing that they would miss the opportunity to be promoted if they were a step slower.

As a result, the Imperial Study became the new favorite of court officials, and now all officials wanted to work in the Imperial Study.

After all, the Golden Palace is where important state affairs are discussed, and the door of the hall naturally cannot be closed, so there is no air conditioning installed.

When the ministers knew that this novel gadget called air conditioner was brought out by the Crown Princess, they all came to buy it.

However, Mu Wanwan did not plan to sell it now. She was still thinking about the supermarket that Taotao mentioned.

But now her belly is getting bigger day by day, and Si Yuan doesn't want her to be too tired, so he put this matter on hold for the time being.

Now saltpeter ice making has become popular among the people. If they are afraid of heat, they can only use ice cubes.

They enjoyed the air conditioning and naturally felt that ice cubes were not cool enough.

In the end, Mu Wanwan could only put a few fans for sale at the entrance of Yayunfang. Now that electricity has been connected to the capital, she just needs to ask the relevant department to install sockets on site.

………………

As the days passed, people all over the capital were immersed in joy.

Today is the first birthday of their Ruilan Emperor Si Yuchen after he ascended the throne.

Less than a year after the new emperor ascended the throne, thanks to the high-yield grain provided by Mu Wanwan, the people across the country have solved the problem of food and clothing, and the national treasury is becoming increasingly full.

Folk arts flourished, the capital was filled with laughter and joy, and the prosperity was unprecedented.

It happened to be Si Yuchen’s birthday, and the streets were decorated with lights and a celebratory atmosphere filled the entire capital.

The emperor of Fengling Kingdom also came. He had been lying in the medical cabin and looked very energetic.

Even the emperor of Wei sent an envoy. Ever since Xiang Yu's head was sent back, the emperor of Wei had been worried all day long.

After paying a large sum of silver as compensation, he withdrew the remaining tens of thousands of troops back to the country. After hearing the returning soldiers talk about the strangeness of Prince Ruilan and those extremely lethal weapons, they no longer dared to act rashly and gave up their ambition to annex Ruilan.

When he learned of Ruilan's new emperor's birthday, he immediately sent people to congratulate him. On the one hand, he wanted to curry favor with him, and on the other hand, he also wanted to find out Ruilan's current strength.

When the Wei envoys entered the territory of Ruilan, they were shocked by the spacious roads. Sometimes, iron boxes would appear on the roads running very fast.

When they arrived at the territory of Ruilan Capital, there were more and more iron boxes, and he could see clearly that there were people sitting in the iron boxes.

It seems that the people who came back from the battlefield were not lying. At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Ruilan drove several large iron boxes and took less than a hundred people to the battlefield to support Yanguan.

After much inquiry, he found out that this big iron box was called a car and was sold by Ruilan's princess.

The envoys from the State of Wei did not expect that such a powerful vehicle would be sold as a commodity in Ruilan.

As they entered the city, the Wei envoys were increasingly shocked. There were no oil lamps in the shops, and every household used something called electric lamps.

There are street lights on the streets, so it is still bright outside even in the middle of the night.

He must go back and report to His Majesty that Rui Lan can only be befriended now and must not be offended again.

If he had the chance, he would also like to buy a few cars to take back home. After seeing the speed of cars, he would never want to ride in a slow carriage again.

The palace was extremely bustling at this moment, and the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards were all busy.

Civil and military officials also gathered in the palace, each holding carefully prepared gifts, ready to congratulate the new emperor on his birthday.

In the main hall, Lin and Gu Qingwan were persuading Mu Wanwan.

Mu Wanwan wanted to go out and join in the fun, but she was already more than nine months pregnant and could give birth at any time. How could she withstand the ordeal?

Both Lin and Gu Qingwan were worried about her safety and were determined not to let her step out of the palace.

"Wanwan, the most important thing for you now is to protect yourself and the baby in your belly." Gu Qingwan said.

The twins' bellies are a circle bigger than those of other pregnant women, which looks a bit scary.

But Mu Wanwan just couldn't rest. She had to go out of the house several times every day, and was always persuaded to come back by Si Yuan.

Mu Wanwan sighed lightly, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness, but she also knew that they were concerned.

"The imperial physician has said that you must not act willfully in the next few days," Lin added worriedly.

"Yes, sister, for the sake of my little nephews, you just have to be a good boy." Mu Chaochao also pretended to be an adult and frowned.

Mu Wanwan pursed her lips and smiled, "I know, Chaochao."

Seeing that her sister was obedient, Mu Chaochao started playing games with her elder brother again.

"Brother, you are so stupid. If Brother Mo Yu was here, he would have won long ago."

Mu Chaochao was also led astray by Mu Yuheng and fell in love with this game, but she only treated it as a dress-up game.

But she couldn't buy it herself, so every time she wanted to buy a new skin, she would ask Li Jue for help.

"I just don't believe it. Come, let's continue." Mu Yuheng said.

Mu Yuheng becomes a little bit immature when playing games, but he is usually quite steady when handling affairs. After all, he will have to enter the court to take over the position of Prime Minister Mu Chongli in the future.
