"Go ahead."

King Jin saluted again. At this moment, he was quite respectful and sincere in his salute.

After he retreated, Emperor Hongwen immediately laughed.

"Wang De, did you see Prince Jin's look just now? It was really funny."

"That's because I'm anxious and worried. As His Highness King Jin said, the Lady of Wanfu County is a rare woman in the world. I'm afraid not many people who have come into contact with her can't help but admire her."

Wang De's face was also full of smiles at this time.

Because of Lu Yunjun back then, he had always treated Lu Yaoyao as one of his own descendants.

If it were in the past, he would never propose to match her with the King of Jin. After all, the Jin Dynasty was in danger at that time.

But things are different now. Emperor Hongwen's attitude towards Prince Jin has changed a lot, his suspicions have gradually been put down, and he intends to cultivate him vigorously.

As long as King Jin does not act foolishly, his status in Dongzhou will inevitably rise rapidly and he will become the leading presence in the court.

In addition, Prince Jin's palace has always been clean. Although Prince Jin has been idle for many years, he has never been involved with women, and there are no such messy things in the back house.

It would definitely be a great thing if Lu Yaoyao could enter the Jin Palace and become the Jin Princess.

"This is true. If Wanfu can agree, then she can be considered a member of our royal family. With her help in the future, Dongzhou will be more stable and stronger."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Wang De quickly raised his hand and complimented him.

As for King Jin, all the way out of the palace, his mind was filled with the words of Emperor Hongwen just now.

My heart suddenly palpitated.

He was amazed when he first met Lu Yaoyao, but gradually turned into curiosity after contact. And the frequent visits in the previous few months made him become obsessed with this woman.

Especially when he met and worked with her in the Black Stone Mine, her straightforwardness, seriousness, and amazing method of turning decay into magic left a deep mark on his heart.

However, due to his identity and his own situation, he kept this admiration deep in his heart and did not dare to express it.

But now, he saw hope. At this moment, he was both happy and worried inside.

On the way out of the palace and rushing to Chengyuan Villa, he was thinking whether he should express his feelings.

What does she think? What if she refuses?

He is not so confident that if he likes others, others will like him.

If it were another woman, he might still have some confidence. After all, the status of King Jin can increase a lot of points.

But facing Lu Yaoyao, he didn't feel this way, and he also felt that the status of the Jin King might be a negative plus for him.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of Chengyuan Villa, and two concierges quickly came forward to inquire.

When they learned that it was Prince Jin who was coming, many people in the villa knew that their young lady had a good relationship with Prince Jin, so they hurriedly invited Prince Jin to come in, and at the same time, they also sent someone to report the news in the courtyard.

At this time, Lu Yaoyao was not in the village courtyard, but in the dormitory area of ​​the villa workers.

Winter has come, it snowed yesterday, and the temperature dropped sharply.

Most of the workers in her villa were victims of the disaster who had fled the famine. Although they had worked for her for several months, they had no worries about food and drink, and they also made a lot of money.

But winter has always been the most difficult time for people.

After all, there is no cotton in Dongzhou. To keep warm in winter, animal skins are still used. Not to mention high-quality animal skins, even ordinary animal skins are not something they can afford with their little money.

Especially since it is still winter, warm things like animal skins are in short supply.

Fortunately, their master is Lu Yaoyao.

In her previous life, Lu Yaoyao was a typical southerner who was most afraid of the cold, so a few years ago, she had already obtained the hot-kang manufacturing technology used in the northern area through golden fingers in her previous life.

This thing is built and has good heating properties.

At this time, she was inspecting the dormitory area and directing everyone to sit on the fire bed.

"Miss, does this thing really work?"

A worker's family looked at the man who was building a fire pit with blue bricks and cement, and looked at Lu Yaoyao beside him with suspicion.

"It's absolutely useful and very warm. I will sleep on this kind of heated kang at night in winter. Although it is a bit hard, I can use more soft things when the time comes."

"That won't burn people, right?"

A half-year-old child next to the woman asked timidly.

Just now when Lu Yaoyao introduced the fire kang, he was also listening.

He didn't understand the principle, but he did understand that this thing was hollow inside and had to burn a fire inside.

So when he thought of people lying on it and a fire burning underneath, he couldn't help but be afraid of burning himself.

"Of course not. As I said just now, I slept like this in the past winter. Do you think something's wrong with me?"

Lu Yaoyao turned around and looked at the child who asked the question speechlessly.

"My pardon, Miss, I am a child who is ignorant and talks nonsense."

The woman from before quickly apologized and slapped the child next to her reproachfully.

"It's okay, little brother, don't worry. My sister promises that you will also like this thing after it is built."

The child nodded repeatedly and did not dare to ask any more random questions. He just turned his head and stared at the worker with a curious face.

"Miss."

Hearing Qiu Shuang's voice, Lu Yaoyao turned around and looked. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Aren't you on duty today? How come you have time to come to me?"

Standing next to Qiu Shuang was His Highness Prince Jin.

"What are you doing again?"

King Jin went to the village courtyard just now, but did not see Lu Yaoyao. He heard from Qiu Shuang that the lady was instructing workers to build a fire kang in the dormitory area.

He didn't know what the fire pit was. He thought it was a new thing made by Lu Yaoyao. He immediately became curious and asked Qiu Shuang to take him here.

"A fire bed."

"What is a fire bed?"

King Jin stepped forward doubtfully and watched the workers at work.

"This noble man doesn't know something. Our lady said that this fire kang is a good thing. As long as it is done well, it will not be cold when people sleep on it."

"And he said that once this is done, the whole room will be very warm."

A worker said with a smile.

"Oh? So magical?"

King Jin's eyes widened. He was also very sad in the winter. Even though he was a prince, the cold air from God, no matter what your status was, it should freeze you.

"That's right, you don't even know who made it."

Lu Yaoyao was a little proud, and then introduced the principle of the fire kang to King Jin in detail.

"Would this mean that people would get roasted while sleeping?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao rolled his eyes. How could he act like a child and ask such innocent and stupid questions?

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, is overly worried. My young lady started using this fire pit a few years ago, and my slaves and others also have it. It is a very good and magical thing."

Qiu Shuang answered with a smile.

"Oh? Can you go and see it?"

"Let's go."
