"Your Majesty, Cheng Sanlang is here again." Zhao Kun came to Li Shimin's side and reported in a low voice.
Li Shimin was watching his beloved wife Guanyin and his beloved daughter Li Mingda playing Go. When he heard this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes unhappily.
"Haha... Then the boy can come as soon as he comes. Why, do you still want me to go out to greet him?"
"No, no, no, Your Majesty, Cheng Sanlang and His Highness King Wu have brought two carts of stones, as well as a stone-cutting workbench and so on. They say they are all gifts for Your Majesty."
"Stones, gifts?" Li Shimin looked at Zhao Kun with a confused expression, and then glanced at the mother and daughter who were still concentrating on playing chess.
Then he walked quietly towards the entrance of the palace. In a short time, he arrived outside the entrance of the palace and saw Cheng Sanlang not far away.
Instructing the Imperial Guard soldiers to unload the stones, there were also four strange-looking objects, which must have been the workbench that Cheng Sanlang mentioned.
"Say, Cheng Sanlang, didn't you say you were going to get some treasures to present to me today? Are these the treasures you claim to be?"
Cheng Chubi picked up a small but heavy piece of jadeite, shook it a little triumphantly and said.
"Hey, father-in-law, please don't look at the ugly appearance of these stones, but they are all beautiful in spirit."
Li Ke, who had just paid his respects to his biological father, heard this and almost pulled away. He was so beautiful...
Li Shimin raised his finger and pointed at this daughter-loving husband. He really didn't know what to say to express his surging mood at this moment.
"Boy, can you speak more seriously?"
"My son-in-law is really not talking nonsense. Come on, come on, father-in-law, look at this stone that my son-in-law has opened through the window. Take a look at it..."
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang doubtfully, then picked up the stone and looked at it carefully. Oops...it's really true.
After a piece of the skin of this ugly, black stone was rubbed off, the oily and vibrant green inside was revealed.
Li Shimin couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw it, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh. "It's such a beautiful green color, and it's so oily. It's really pleasing to the eye."
"Emerald?" Li Ke on the side came up and took a look, and said with a very experienced look.
"Oh, emerald? Come on, emerald is emerald. This is the best green jade that can be called imperial green."
Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty squinted his eyes at Cheng Sanlang, and then took another look at the beautiful and oily green.
Especially compared with the ugly stone skin, it looks even more precious.
"You kid, even the flattery looks so fresh and refined, hahahaha, imperial green, not bad, not bad..."
#####
"???" Cheng Chubi looked at the father-in-law who seemed very kind and smiling at the moment, looking at the beautiful window material with delight.
Did I flatter you? I really didn’t. But considering that my father-in-law, who has no martial ethics, is an emperor.
Forget it, forget it, if you think I'll take the photo, then go ahead. Anyway, flattery isn't worth much. If you want it, my son-in-law, I can just go to the warehouse and do wholesale.
Li Ke secretly gave a thumbs up gesture to Brother Chu Bi with a sincere look on his face.
If you are not acclimatized, just obey Brother Chu Bi's quick wit. This flattery is simply a stroke of genius, making people unpredictable.
At this moment, voices came from outside the bright room. Cheng Chubi looked up and saw Li Mingda and Empress Changsun walking hand in hand.
Facing the spiritual beauty of these ugly-looking stones, both Empress Changsun and Li Mingda exclaimed in one way or another.
Especially when I saw Cheng Sanlang sitting in front of a workbench. When he stepped on the pedal below with both feet, the grinding wheel above instantly started to rotate rapidly.
Cheng Chubi approached with the rough stone so carefully, and soon, the skin of the original stone, whose contents could not be seen at first, was quickly peeled off to reveal the contents inside.
"Wow...Mother, mother, come and see, this is actually purple, so beautiful..."
Li Mingda screamed excitedly and kept tugging at her mother's sleeves.
"It's indeed quite beautiful. Hey, dear son-in-law, this jadeite is actually red?"
"This is natural. There are many colors of jadeite. Although I dare not say that it can be collectively colorful, there is still no problem with three or five colors."
Seeing Cheng Chubi proudly showing off to his daughter and wife, Li Shimin couldn't help but want to brush up his presence and suddenly interrupted.
"Haha, your mother-in-law has always liked red. What do you think this color should be called?"
After hearing this doubt, Cheng Chubi said with a smile full of wisdom on his face.
"My mother-in-law likes the color of red jade, which just confirms a comment used to describe jadeite: red jade and green jade."
"Green is both imperial green and imperial jade, so red is naturally queen red, which can also be called queen jade."
"Queen Emerald...Queen Red..." Empress Changsun looked at the piece of jade that had been worn away, revealing the delightful bright red, and couldn't help but look towards her husband.
I saw my husband stroking his long beard and pointing at Cheng Sanlang with a smile.
"In order to flatter me, this guy just described the green color that I like so much as imperial green."
"Now, you have made a pair with the red and jade color that my wife likes, so you can pass the test. Hahaha..."
After hearing this, Queen Changsun couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckle.
"In the future, this jadeite will be sold like hot cakes in our Tang Dynasty. I am afraid that everyone in the world will know the origin and allusion of this red jadeite."
Cheng Chubi saw the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who was beaming with joy. At this moment, he felt someone poking his back. When he turned his head, he saw the lady with picturesque features, Li Mingda, standing beside him and asked in a low voice.
"What about my husband, the purple color that I like?"
Cheng Chubi picked up the piece of jadeite, which was purple with a hint of sky blue, put on a very serious and serious thinking expression, and said after a long time.
"Madam, the purple you like has a hint of blue, and I am treated like a princess.
My husband has decided to name it Princess Violet, do you think it is appropriate, Madam?"
Li Mingda couldn't help but his eyes lit up, his face flushed with excitement, and he made some small pink fist gestures.
If his parents hadn't been there, Li Mingda would have wished Mr. Xiang's chiseled face would have encouraged him.
"Well, Princess Ziluolan, Brother Cheng San, you are so awesome, even your name sounds so nice."
Li Ke on the side was quietly marveling at a piece of almost black jadeite with a window opening. When he saw his sister's excited look, he couldn't help but nudge Cheng Chubi with his elbow.
"Come on, brother Chu Bi, what should this color be called?"
Cheng Chubi glanced at it casually and said perfunctorily.
"Since you like this thing, my dear brother, let's call it Prince Black."
