Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Sixteen Malachite


The cries rang out again in the palace, and the cries are getting longer and longer, which means that the items sold are getting more and more abundant. From the previous word, popsicle..., it has now become ice cream, popsicle, melon seeds, and toffee.

Every day, Li Hong will prepare large bamboo baskets for the four bitter court ladies and the four eunuchs who are about to cry early every day, filled with ice cream and other four foods in the harem, and ask They need to sell it out when Li Hong ends school at noon.

Since Wu Mei slapped Li Hong in the slap, the irritable screams sounded in the harem the next day, but they became very quiet when they arrived at her palace. She was busy preparing for the coronation ceremony of the queen these days. , And learn the etiquette of various queens, so there is no time to find the little skin monkey to settle accounts.

The harem of the imperial palace is obviously not a place where Xiaoxue, Xiaohan and others dare to sell it publicly. They didn't dare to be in the vicinity of the queen, they were also cautious in other places, but in order to accomplish what Daiwang said about personal performance, they were forced to choose other places to help profiteers sell these items.

Their main hawking places are Yeting Palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and even by buying your Majesty’s personal **** Yangwu, they can sell them near the Tai Chi Gate in front of the palace, because there is no need for them to shout, naturally Qian Niuwei's leader will come over to buy a large basket, and then distribute it to the soldiers as the welfare of a hard day.

Naturally, if Qianniuwei buys these foods, then the rest of the palace will be unimpeded and they can be sold.

So, the first job of eight people every day is to send a large basket of ice cream to the three provinces, six ministries and other departments, then Qianniuwei, and then the eight people each carrying a basket. The Ministry of Internal Servant, Ye Ting Palace sells.

Wu Mei in the harem opened one eye and closed one eye. She is temporarily useless with this leather monkey. She can only hope that the little leather monkey will grow up quickly and understand something by herself. , Can take care of some royal faces.

No one in the harem is in charge. Every place where your majesty in the palace discusses politics with courtiers, naturally, because of Li Zhi's eye opening and closing, it has made the king's food unimpeded throughout the Tai Chi Palace. Li Zhi's indulgence made Daiwang's business grow in this Taiji Palace. But then again, he alone dared to sell his sweets in the palace without regard to the royal face.

Wu Mei stroked her growing belly, while Li Xian was crying in her arms by the maid, crying and crying to find his brother, because this little guy also knew that his emperor had Sweets are delicious.

Wu Mei sighed, that little skin monkey is simply the nemesis of women, no, it is the nemesis of this palace. Whether it is his ice cream or melon seeds, especially the toffee, it is almost a must for everyone in the palace. Ready to eat.

No, while the maid coaxed Li Xian, she took out a toffee from her sleeve, peeled off the white paper, and stuffed it into Li Xian's mouth. Immediately, Li Xian, who had been crying, stopped crying, burst into laughter, filled with toffee and began to contentment.

Wu Mei could only shake her head helplessly when watching this scene. She shook her head at this moment not because of Li Xian's crying, nor because of the helpless Li Hong made these sweets. But now she is gradually discovering that compared to Li Xian, Li Hong did not act as annoying as Li Xian when he was at his age? No, naive? Nor is it fragile?

In short, compared to Li Xian, everything about Li Hong back then seemed so reasonable and unreasonable. I have never had bedwetting, have never been unreasonably crying, let me eat and eat if I don’t let me eat. I've always been around me so cute, cute and clever. Often a move can make you smile and feel at ease.

Now that I think about it carefully, and compare it with Li Xian, Li Hong at that time didn't look like a baby. Some were too sensible.

When Wu Mei was in a daze thinking that her eldest son was different from ordinary people, she didn't know if she should be happy or worried. The distinctive eldest son is also carefully preparing her gifts for the coronation ceremony of the queen.

Li Hong, who is studying, has an appointment with Li Yifu, who has just come to court. The courtiers are about to go down. Their lovely gentleman, Shangguanyi, is still working tirelessly and untiringly to explain the book of sages to them. There is nothing Say what it means to take a break.

"Ouch..." Li Hong covered his stomach, lying uncomfortably on the case table and groaning in pain.

Shangguanyi glanced at him and sighed at a 45-degree angle to the sky: "What's wrong? Today I ate too much ice cream and my stomach hurts?" His tone was full of helplessness.

"No, sir, it's a headache this time. It is estimated that the student felt the wind and cold last night."

"Why do you cover your belly with a headache?" Shangguan Yiqi's beard was about to be curled up.

I also feel the wind and chill! This occasional feeling of wind and cold is a common reason when the minister can't go to court. This kid actually used it when he was studying.

"Uh...probably the stomach and head hurt." Li Hong's other hand hurriedly supported his head and groaned in pain. If he is not allowed to go out of the Hongwen Hall, he will die in this case.

"Hey...go on. Forget it, let's go to school." Shangguanyi threw the books in his hand on the case table to express his disappointment and dissatisfaction with Dai Wang.

"Mister has worked hard today, students leave." The little man who was still alive just now doesn't hurt anymore, and he suddenly changes to life, and he doesn't care about the feelings of the gentleman Shangguanyi. Said.

Standing up and moving his small arms and legs, he said to Gao An, "Gao An, trouble you, help me clean up these." Li Hong pointed to the scattered four treasures of the study and books on the case.

"It's me again." Gao An said with a dissatisfied little mouth.

Shangguanyi standing in the middle can only helplessly shake his head and then shake his head again, there is really no way to take this Daiwang! It was so difficult for people to learn, and they even produced "movable type printing" for their literati! It provides better printing and promotion channels for all precious orphan books, and prevents those books from being destroyed due to time.

In particular, this movable type printing has turned all the bamboo slips books that are more precious and long-lasting than paper into books in a short time. I originally wanted to read a book, without reading dozens of hundreds of catties, or even thousands of catties of bamboo slips that could not be read, became a regular book that could be read at will! This is a great thing for literati who love books.

Li Hong won't pay attention to the dazed Shangguan ceremony at this moment. He still has important things to do. In a few days, the mother will be crowned queen. He should give her a big gift.

Also ignored Princess Gao'an, who stared at him violently and unwillingly to help him clean up the case, patted her hands and walked out the door of Hongwen Hall in a casual and relaxed manner.

I came to the place where I often meet with Li Yifu. At this moment, Li Yifu is already there waiting for him. It is very close to the Menxia Province, and Li Yi's mansion can go straight after going down.

The sunlight stretched the shadow of the lanky Li Yi Mansion diagonally, and Li Hong stood in the shadow of Li Yi Mansion to hide from the sun.

"Yifu has seen the Dai King." Li Yifu respectfully saluted Li Hong.

"Okay, old acquaintances, no need to be polite, and no outsiders are here. How about, have I found what I asked you to find?" Li Hong looked at Li Yifu with bright and distinct eyes.

"I found it, I have made it according to your wishes," Li Yifu replied.

"Didn't you find that big natural malachite? It's more ornamental, it looks..." Li Hong asked anxiously.

Li Yifu smiled, and he was very satisfied with Li Hong's performance with the anxiety written on his face at the moment. This should be a child's reaction. He would not believe how mature a child under four was. Just now, I deliberately turned back the ambiguous words, just want to see if this generation king really has a city mansion that does not fit his age.

"On behalf of the king, don’t worry, listen to the minister slowly. I found three pieces, and as expected, this first piece of malachite is simply a treasure on earth. You don’t need to trim and polish it, and put it on a base. The above is an extremely precious, beautiful and gorgeous ornamental stone, which is invaluable." Li Yifu said while admiring it.

Li Hong did not speak, standing in his shadow and continuing to listen sideways. He also liked the weakness of Li Yifu's cleverness in everything.

Li Yifu continued: "One of the pieces is indeed as you said. The hardness of this object is a little bit weaker and cannot be carved or portrayed on a large scale. According to your ideas, the craftsman has ordered the craftsman to make various jewelry. As for the first Three pieces, the minister saw that it was not as exquisite as the first piece, so he made his own decision and transformed it into a plaque of a suitable size according to the appearance of malachite, which is also extremely beautiful on the case table."

Li Hong nodded thoughtfully. Yes, Li Yifu is the best at doing this kind of thing. It is very precious to be able to find such three exquisite malachite in such a short time.

"By the way, the amount will be deducted from your ice cream and sweets at that time~ IndoMTL.com~ If it is not enough to tell me, I will make up the rest for you." Li Hong thought. Said.

"The king is polite, how dare the minister ask you for money? What's more, what you order the minister is the matter of the minister himself. The minister will naturally go through fire and water, as long as he can complete the account of the king , To make you satisfied with Dai Wang, the minister is willing to spend how much money."

"That won't work. One thing is one thing. It's one thing to ask you for help. It's another thing to ask you to spend money. Besides, your current salary is not only the cost of the family, but also It's hard to pay the price of this piece of malachite, right?" Li Hong raised his head and stared at Li Yifu's eyes.

Li Yifu's expression was taken aback, but he returned to normal in an instant, and his face quickly changed to a gentle smile, saying: "On behalf of Wang Yingming, the minister would be more respectful than his life. Wait until you get three pieces of malachite. , You just need to give the minister money. It's just that... the minister has been unclear about something, and I hope you will give me advice on behalf of the king."

Li Yifu knows that if he refuses Li Hong's money, he will appear to be petty, and it will also make Li Hong resent him. In particular, Li Hong was still a child. As a royal prince, he naturally didn't want anyone to disobey him, so he just pushed the boat along with the water and didn't turn down money matters with Li Hong.

"What's the matter?" Li Hong wondered.

"Chen... I don’t know how you knew about this malachite. Chang’an and Luoyang’s officials couldn’t find this malachite after inquiring about it. Finally, according to your instructions, go to Lingnan Road, Shannan Road, and There are Jiangnan Provinces who have found a piece. What the minister is curious about is your erudition and talent, why such a valuable thing has never appeared in..."

Li Hong giggled before Li Yifu finished speaking. The laughing Li Yifu was a little inexplicable. I don't know why Daiwang laughed.
