Li Longji stayed up all night, but did not feel much tired. He had already thought of a plan to get close to Fang Mingzhu.
During this period, Fang Mingzhu only received people who came to buy jewelry. Of course, Li Longji now knew that she was not doing it to make money. The Fang family in the Western Regions had plenty of money. She must have had another purpose in doing this, since she wanted to buy jewelry.
, then he simply went to her to buy jewelry. Anyway, he happened to need a piece of jewelry to give away. However, Li Longji didn't want to show up yet. He was now focused on conquering Fang Mingzhu in one fell swoop, so he had to wait for the most suitable one.
opportunity.
Li Longji summoned his cronies and didn't say much. He just said lightly:
"Shangguan Zhaorong's birthday is coming soon. I want to buy her a gift. You can go and arrange it."
Shangguan Zhaorong was Shangguan Wan'er. At this time, Shangguan Wan'er had been accepted by Zhongzong and canonized as Zhaorong. Wan'er was so exquisite that she even pleased Empress Wei, making herself even more famous in the palace than Wu Zetian. Therefore, many people
The princes and grandsons all tried to please Shangguan Wan'er, and Li Longji was no exception. However, Shangguan Wan'er treated Li Longji somewhat differently, but outsiders had never delved into this matter.
After listening to Li Longji's instructions, the confidant bowed slightly:
"Yes, I don't know if the prince has any special instructions."
"I want to give Shangguan Zhaorong a piece of jewelry. Go and do it."
As soon as they heard that Li Longji wanted to make jewelry, his confidants immediately understood in their hearts - Your Majesty, this is what he is going to do!
But the confidant had followed Li Longji for so many years and had experienced a lot in the city. Therefore, he remained calm and just asked:
"I wonder if the prince has any specific requirements?"
"There is no requirement. All you have to do is find a portrait of Shangguan Zhaorong and show it to her. As for what to fight, how to fight, and how much gold, silver and jewelry are needed, she can just ask her for a price."
"Yes." The confidant withdrew.
From beginning to end, neither of them mentioned Fang Mingzhu's name.
The next day, the confidant came to Fangzhai. As usual, he met Tang Lizi first, and then came to the side hall. Mingzhu was already sitting behind the bead curtain.
"Do you want jewelry?" Mingzhu asked.
Maybe it was because he had heard Mingzhu's capture and interrogation of Hongge that night. Although Mingzhu's attitude was very kind now, his close followers still felt a chill in his ears.
He composed himself:
"Yes, my master sent me to make a piece of jewelry."
"What are you going to fight?"
"Well, the master doesn't have very specific requirements. He wants to give it as a gift, but he doesn't know what to give."
Mingzhu was a little surprised, why was there another guest like this? Could it be that their owner was like Bi Luan, who fell in love with a down-and-out scholar?
"Then do you know what kind of person your master is going to send as a gift? For example, how old is he..."
Before Mingzhu finished speaking, the confidant replied:
"I know, the master asked me to bring a portrait of her."
"Oh," Mingzhu's interest was aroused, "Your master is very thoughtful. Where is the portrait? Let me see it."
Lizi sent the portrait inside the bead curtain. Mingzhu only took one look at it and let out a sound of admiration:
"What a beauty! What's her name?" In fact, Mingzhu's question was purely out of curiosity.
And Li Longji had told his confidants that if Fang Mingzhu asked about this person's name, then don't hide it. So the confidants said respectfully:
"This is Shangguan Zhaorong from the palace..."
"Shangguan Wan'er!" Mingzhu blurted out.
The confidant was shocked by her again:
'Everyone knows this Fang Mingzhu, the Fang family in the Western Region is really amazing.'
Mingzhu’s words continued:
"It turns out she is Shangguan Wan'er. She is more beautiful than I imagined..."
The more the confidants listened, the more they felt that Fang Mingzhu was too familiar with the affairs in the palace, so they did not dare to talk casually, so they had to stand aside and listen respectfully.
After a while, Mingzhu asked again:
"Since your master wants to give her jewelry, he must not be an ordinary person. Can you tell me his name?"
"This..." The confidant hesitated for a moment. Li Longji said not to mention him for the time being, so he said carefully, "The master has not asked me to tell him his name, so..."
"Oh, I understand, you don't have to be embarrassed, I won't ask."
"Thank you, girl."
"Did your master tell you how much material he wanted to use to make the jewelry?"
"This is all up to the girl. She just makes a list, and we just follow the list and deliver the materials."
Mingzhu nodded, this is a good opportunity. It's rare to meet such a generous master, and she can enjoy her addiction to making jewelry. Back in ancient times, all gold and silver jewelry was made, so I had to take advantage of this opportunity.
, see if you can make a piece of jewelry inlaid with jewelry.
While Mingzhu was thinking, she carefully looked at Shangguan Wan'er's portrait.
Wan'er in the portrait is of medium stature, small and round, with arms like lotus roots, cheeks like round chestnuts, and a pair of spring-like eyes, slightly lowered, as if she is deliberately hiding her intelligence.
and wisdom.
Mingzhu lamented once again that modern stars failed to portray Shangguan Wan'er's beauty.
She was attracted by the red plum tattooed on Shangguan Wan'er's forehead. The red plum was tattooed diagonally above the corner of her left eyebrow. Because it was viewed from the portrait, there was no trace of scar. She just felt that this
A little bright red falls on Wan'er's white and greasy skin, which has a shocking beauty.
Looking at the red plum, Mingzhu had an idea in her mind.
Li Longji looked at the list brought back by his cronies:
"Gold, silver, rubies? What on earth is she going to hit?" Li Longji thought for a while and felt that these things would not look good together.
"She didn't say anything. She just said she would read it after finishing it?"
"Okay, let her fight. Just prepare it for her and send it off."
For some reason, Li Longji felt a strange feeling in his heart every time he sent a close friend between him and Fang Mingzhu. It was like sending a message to his sweetheart Hongyan. Every time he sent a close friend out,
They will all be a little panicked waiting for the news brought back by their cronies. Although they know that Mingzhu still doesn't know who he is, it doesn't matter even if the cronies bring back the news. But Li Longji can't help but feel a little uneasy.
.
No one came to point out Li Longji, so he himself didn't know it, but his heart had already fallen into the garden opposite without even realizing it.
"Mingzhu, what are you doing?" Li Zi had been watching Mingzhu's every move. At this moment, he saw that Mingzhu had completely melted the gold and silver, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
