Cheng Yaojin took the glass vase and kept playing with it. He hummed a little tune and went to his home.
After getting such a good thing, I will naturally show it off to Fang Xuanling.
You also need to show off in front of the ministers.
Enjoying the envious gazes of everyone, I feel beautiful in my heart.
It shouldn’t turn over this time, right?
The more I think about this, the happier I feel.
But before he was happy for a while, someone came to see him.
"Gong Lu, I've finally waited for you. Where have you been? Your Majesty is waiting for you in the palace!"
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
It was Fang Xuanling who came towards him. He took Cheng Yaojin's hand and said:
"Come into the palace with me quickly, otherwise His Majesty will be angry!"
Cheng Yaojin had thousands of reluctances in his heart.
He still holds the colored glass in his hand. Will it still be there when he goes to the palace?
What would Li Shimin do if he asked?
To send it to him or not?
"Wait, I'll go back first and then come out!"
The door to my home is right in front of me.
"What time is it? You're still waiting! Let's go! The carriage is coming!"
Fang Xuanling didn't care so much and asked Cheng Yaojin to get on the carriage.
When Cheng Yaojin saw this, he immediately put Liuli in his arms.
Helpless!
Cheng Yaojin:......
Because she was anxious, Fang Xuanling didn't pay much attention to Cheng Yaojin's little moves.
I didn't even see what was in his arms, but I just felt that this guy's belly was a bit big today.
He must have gained weight again!
"Well, what did Your Majesty say? Why are you so anxious to get us to the palace?"
Cheng Yaojin asked.
"I don't know either. They just let us into the palace because something happened. I don't know anything else."
Don’t know? Holding the glass in his arms, Cheng Yaojin thought for a moment and gave it to the soldiers outside the palace for safekeeping? No, it’s not safe. What if it breaks or is stolen?
will still be discovered.
At this time, Fang Xuanling sighed again.
"Maybe it's because the treasury expenditures have increased recently, or maybe it's because of tax issues. Also, the murderer who assassinated the Sixth Prince has not been found... Oh, there are too many things going on recently, and I have a headache."
"Is that so?"
If these things are true, it would be better to say something.
I'm afraid it's something else, like Li Er knowing why he did what he did.
…
In the afterglow, the carriage galloped into the palace.
They rushed all the way, but Cheng Yaojin's movements were a little awkward.
Because of Liuli, it was very difficult for him to act.
"Gong Lu, what's wrong with you? You used to be like a meteor, but now you're like a woman? Hurry up!"
"No, no, no, let's go quickly, Your Majesty is waiting impatiently."
Fang Xuanling didn't think too much and moved forward.
Cheng Yaojin probably regretted a little. If he had known earlier, he would not have taken any colored glaze. Why did he take it at this time? Alas...
In a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the Tai Chi Palace.
At this time, Li Shimin was in the imperial study room.
When they entered, they saw Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang also there.
"Meet Your Majesty, Queen, and Concubine Yang!"
The two of them immediately saluted.
"No gift!"
Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and asked, "Why is your Majesty looking for us?"
As soon as he said this, Li Shimin turned to him.
When I looked at it, I noticed something was different.
"What is in your arms, Zhijie?"
A discerning person would have already noticed that there was something in Cheng Yaojin's arms.
Only a nerd like Fang Xuanling couldn't see why.
"Yes, what's in your arms? I feel very strange."
Fang Xuanling said with some hindsight.
As for Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang, they also discovered that Cheng Yaojin was really different.
The shape of the belly is wrong.
Queen Changsun asked:
"Zhijie, are you sick?"
"this……"
Cheng Yaojin didn't know how to answer.
"You old man, tell me quickly, I'm going to be angry!"
Cheng Yaojin was speechless.
He took out the glass bottle directly.
When this thing came out, everyone was shocked.
After all, it is very rare that colored glaze has such good quality and beautiful shape.
It turned out to be private goods, no wonder.
Empress Changsun took a closer look.
He said: "Your Majesty, this colored glass has a beautiful shape. It is a rare treasure. I have seen a similar one before, but its material is not as transparent as this one. In terms of quality, the difference is thousands of miles! And it is smaller.
!”
"Oh? Is this thing really that good? Zhijie, what are you doing with this?"
Li Shimin asked.
Cheng Yaojin felt a little depressed.
Originally, he wanted to leave it at home, but Fang Xuanling dragged it to the Tai Chi Palace.
None of this is what he wants.
How to do it?
Now that he's been discovered, why not do him a favor or ask for credit or something.
"Actually, I wanted to dedicate this glass to His Majesty! It was a surprise for His Majesty, but I didn't want it to be discovered."
These words made Li Shimin laugh.
"Is that so? How can I be embarrassed to take such a treasure?"
His eyes were staring at it.
Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, this is also your intention as a minister, so please accept it. We just lack such a decoration in the palace."
It was obvious that she wanted it too.
Fang Xuanling also said on the side: "It's rare that Duke Lu has this intention, so your majesty just accepts it."
Cheng Yaojin wanted to die.
Can it still be fun?
But he also said: "Yes, this is also what I have in mind."
Li Shimin didn't mince words either.
"It's rare that you have such intentions, I'm very pleased! Then I'll accept it, come on! Receive the things!"
"yes!"
Then a eunuch took the glass vase from Cheng Yaojin's hand.
You can feel that his body is dripping with blood.
Don't...he said it casually, don't take it seriously! But it's all said!
Watching the glass bottle being placed in a safe place, Li Shimin suddenly asked: "That's right! But where does this thing come from? You have to tell me?"
Cheng Yaojin thought to himself that he could not give away the sixth prince, otherwise the next thing would be difficult to handle.
The horseshoe thing will definitely go wrong, and he won't be able to do anything else.
So what to do?
So he thought for a while and prepared to tell a lie.
Then he said: "I got it from a Western businessman in Dongshi. The price is not much, only ten taels!"
"oh?"
Everyone was shocked.
Ten taels, that's simply too cheap.
"Where is the businessman? If we can obtain his production method, our economy in Datang will reach a higher level."
Li Shimin saw business opportunities.
He is worthy of being an emperor, and he thinks very carefully.
Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."
This stumped Cheng Yaojin.
He could only say: "Hey, that businessman has left Chang'an!"
Everyone looked a little lonely. What a pity.
Cheng Yaojin was afraid that Li Shimin would keep talking about this issue.
So he said: "Why does your Majesty want to see me and the Duke of Wei?"
Only then did Li Shimin realize that he had asked the two of them to come over for something.
