"Ma Aiqing doesn't have to be too polite!" Liu Xiexu helped Ma Jun and smiled and said, "I just came here to see. By the way, how are you preparing for printing?"

At this moment, the woman reacted and a blush flashed across her face, but because her skin was yellow, she couldn't see clearly. "Minister Huang Yueying, I've seen Your Majesty!" There was a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if she didn't expect to see Liu Xie here.

Liu Xie nodded and smiled and said, "Miss Huang doesn't have to be too polite! I have heard Fengxiao mention your affairs. It is rare that Mrs. Huang is so wise and not ashamed of such strange and lewd skills. If everyone in this country had the same mind as Ma Aiqing and Mrs. Huang, why worry about the world's inseparable!"

If you look closely at Huang Yueying, in fact, in addition to her yellow complexion and a little yellow hair, her face shape is actually not ugly, with a high nose bridge and a small and straight. If she doesn’t care about her skin color and hair color, she can actually be considered a beauty. Of course, this is Liu Xie’s opinion.

Because Liu Xie has seen too many such women in later generations, many women even have black hair to dye other colors. As for skin color, there is no problem. In later generations, how many people are proud of wheat-colored skin? That is a healthy beauty!

But in this era, especially the daughter of a gentry, who looks like this, is no wonder she is ridiculed and is not at the right time!

"When you go back to Your Majesty, everything is ready. Through Your Majesty's prompt, we use fire clay carvings, and it is indeed progressing rapidly... By the way, we have already arranged the sample draft... Please read it!"

Looking at the sample manuscript handed over by Ma Jun, Liu Xie laughed and said, "Not bad! Not bad! This is much easier than copying books. When I think of copying books, I will have a headache!"

Seeing Liu Xie's headache, many people couldn't help but smile, but they didn't dare to laugh, but Huang Yueying couldn't help laughing. As a result, everyone's eyes were on her, which made her very embarrassed, and hurriedly apologized to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "It's okay! If it weren't for this, I wouldn't think of such a pleasing way!" Liu Xie shamelessly pushed the inventor of the movable type printing book into his head. In fact, even if he didn't want to, there was no way, because before him, let alone movable type printing, even woodblock printing had never happened. If he didn't want to take credit for his contribution, others would put this achievement on him. Who dares to steal the credit for such a thing that has been famous for the eternal period?

"Your Majesty is so serious. This method of pleasing is a great progress in human history!" Huang Yueying smiled and said, "Previously, students wanted to read books, and then copied books. Everyone knows that copying books is not only time-consuming, but also laborious. Sometimes, when the handwriting is sloppy, others cannot recognize it... But with this printing technique, the speed is very fast, and the handwriting is neat and the pages are clean... In this way, all literati in the world have to thank Your Majesty for your achievements!"

Liu Xie was a little embarrassed by the praise and laughed, "Miss Huang is really good at speaking! By the way, I wonder how much Mrs. Huang knows about making crossbows? I would like to try it for me, to see if I can create a crossbow?"

"Serial crossbow?"

"Yes, crossbows, continuous fire crossbows!" Liu Xie nodded and said, "In fact, after the development of movable type printing technology, I planned to ask Deheng to study military equipment, especially siege equipment, such as bed crossbows, siege cars, etc., but now, after seeing you, I have a flash of inspiration in my mind and thought of the crossbows!"

Huang Yueying was a little strange. Why did Liu Xie think of this crossbow when he saw her? But Liu Xie didn't explain, and she was embarrassed to ask more questions, especially when Liu Xie looked at her, there was a hint of strange feeling in her eyes. But this strange feeling did not make her feel annoying, but instead made her feel curious.

Liu Xie naturally couldn't tell him because she reminded him of Zhu Ge's crossbow!

In fact, when he saw Brother Zhu, he thought of this kind of weapon. It was just because he thought that Brother Zhu's crossbow was invented by his wife Huang Yueying, and the conditions at that time did not allow it, so he has been left to this day. In fact, even if Huang Yueying did not appear, he would have proposed the crossbow theory sooner or later.

But now I saw Huang Yueying, what else is there to be more than returning something that originally belonged to me and being shocked by people. It’s so cool to come!

Liu Xie cannot draw pictures, but if you ask Liu Xie to take the existing military crossbow, you can make someone transform, and then say his own ideas and make people think about it. There is still no problem.

When Liu Xie was holding a military crossbow and talking about his ideas in front of Huang Yueying and Ma Jun, the more they heard the two, the brighter their eyes became. There were even some signs of admiration in Huang Yueying's eyes.

Zhu Ge, Lu Meng and Guan Ping were also listening. As for Yang Xiu, he was curiously studying around the movable type printing board.

"Your Majesty, you are such a genius!" Huang Yueying couldn't help but sigh, then blushed and lowered her head.

Liu Xie called out inwardly, I'll go! She won't like me, right! What should I do with Brother Zhu!

Unfortunately, when Liu Xie turned to see Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu's expression did not change much, and he also had a look of admiration for Liu Xie.

I'll go! It's messed up again!

Before leaving, Liu Xie said to Huang Yueying: "Do it well, I have given you the position of a female doctorate. Don't care about other people's opinions. Your achievements will be carved on the stone tablet of the School of Craftsmanship in the future, so that future generations can admire..."

"Thank you, little girl, for your kindness!" Huang Yueying blushed and excited.

It should be noted that women are officials, especially foreign officials, were rare in ancient times! In today's Han Dynasty, she is also considered unique!

"Kong Ming, what do you think? That Huang Madam!" On the way to the Imperial Academy, Liu Xie asked Zhu Ge beside him with a smile.

Brother Zhu glanced at Liu Xie strangely, scratched his head, and said, "Very good!"

"Really? Don't you think she is a little... well, a little ugly?" Liu Xie's smile became even stronger.

Yang Xiu, Lu Meng, and Guan Ping were all a little confused.

Brother Zhu said with a tough bullet: "This... she is so knowledgeable, it shouldn't be bad! Isn't Your Majesty interested in her knowledge?"

puff……

Yang Xiu, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but squirt. Even Lu Meng and Guan Ping were laughing and shrugging their shoulders.

Liu Xie patted his forehead and sighed: It’s so messy, it’s really so messy!

"You all think she is ugly?" Liu Xie asked again, and glanced at the ministers around him.

"She is very knowledgeable!" Yang Xiu replied.

"She has a very good figure!" said Lu Meng.

"She...she..." Guan Ping thought about it, but couldn't think of the reason, and said, "She is indeed very knowledgeable and knows a lot. As soon as she is out, she quotes scriptures. Well, that's it!"

Liu Xie glanced at Brother Zhu and smiled and said, "Her piano skills are pretty good! Kong Ming might as well..."

"Your Majesty! She is a member of the Huang clan of Jiangxia. If Your Majesty accepts her, it will be of great benefit to us attacking Jingzhou in the future!" Zhu Ge said directly.

Liu Xie wondered, "Kong Ming, do you really have no feelings for her? I think she is good! Although her skin is a little darker, her face is not ugly!"

"So Your Majesty, this matter is not your Majesty!" Zhu Ge said with a serious look on his face.

As a result, the others either looked at Liu Xie in surprise, or smiled and shrugged their shoulders, sighing inwardly that Liu Xie's taste was indeed unique.

Looking at the performance of the ministers, Liu Xie really wanted to scold him: I'm going! She's really not ugly! Isn't it just that her hair and skin color are a bit alternative? Aren't those peasant women who work hard in the sun all year round, the same looks?

But obviously, his ministers could not understand Liu Xie's strange taste and his bad taste in Ruo and Zhu Ge and Huang Yueying, which ended up getting into his head!
