Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

Zhi Ge's movements were very fast, not long after Bai Shu went out, Zhi Ge followed Bai Shu into the room:

"princess."

"coming?"

Gu Yanshu, who was still holding a pen to write and draw on paper, directly put down the brush in his hand, and looked at Zhi Ge with a smile.

Although the smile on Gu Yanshu's face now can be called kind, but for some reason, Zhige always has a strange feeling in his heart:

"I don't know what the princess has to tell my subordinates?"

Gu Yanshu smiled slightly, and first praised Zhi Ge:

"The prince just told me that your mouth is very strict. If I don't worry, I can tell you to do anything."

"It's the prince's praise." The more Gu Yanshu was like this, the more obvious was the strange feeling in Zhi Ge's heart.

"My lord, this is not a compliment. I also have a deep understanding of the strictness of the mouth."

Gu Yanshu waved his hand, indicating that Zhi Ge doesn't need to be humble.

Zhi Ge also understood that Gu Yanshu would say this simply because he did not report Gu Yanshu's whereabouts to the prince:

"This is what subordinates should do."

While replying, the vigilance in Zhi Ge's heart still did not decrease.

Sure enough, Gu Yanshu's next sentence directly confirmed the conjecture in his heart:

"Although I know, it's because the lord didn't ask. If the lord asked, you would tell the lord."

Zhi Ge didn't answer Gu Yanshu's words, but kept silent.

It is this kind of silence that is enough to represent that Gu Yanshu's words are not wrong.

Gu Yanshu didn't care about Zhige's silence at this time, he just continued to say:

"But today I want to order you to do something, and you need to keep it secret, that is to say, even if the prince asks, you can't say it."

"This..." Zhi Ge, who seemed expressionless, hesitated this time for the first time.

Gu Yanshu was not surprised by Zhige's reaction.

Although Zhi Ge often followed him and helped him with things recently, Zhi Ge was still Qin Lu's man after all.

In terms of priority, it is normal for him to be inferior to Qin Lu.

So after seeing the hesitation on Zhi Ge's face, Gu Yanshu slowly added an explanation:

"Don't worry, it's not something that would embarrass you. Even the prince gave me a piece of jade pendant, so I thought about giving him a gift too, but giving a gift is still a little bit of a surprise.

That's why I ask you to keep it a secret. "

While speaking, Gu Yanshu seemingly carelessly reached out to pick up the elk jade pendant hanging around his waist, and began to play with it back and forth.

Such an obvious action, even if people want to ignore it, they can't do it.

Zhi Ge is not blind, so he can see it.

After seeing clearly the jade pendant between Gu Yanshu's fingers, Zhi Ge's pupils shrank slightly.

He has been with the prince since his first expedition at the age of 16, how could he not understand the meaning of this jade pendant to the prince?

I also thought of the sentence that the prince ordered before he left the mansion, "Treat the concubine as you would treat the king".

After hesitating for a moment, Zhi Ge still made a choice:

"Just to prepare a gift for the prince?"

"Naturally." Gu Yanshu knew that Zhi Ge had made a choice, and nodded with a smile.

Since it is a gift for the prince, it will definitely be known to the prince in the end, and it is not a deception.

Thinking of this, Zhi Ge finally nodded:

"This subordinate knows, and this subordinate will keep it a secret from the prince."

"Then you come here with your ear." Gu Yanshu suddenly had a tricky smile on his face, and at the same time waved to Zhi Ge.

Zhi Ge only hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and walked in front of Gu Yanshu.

In the end, Zhi Ge didn't know Gu Yanshu very well.

If Qin Hao were here, he might be able to immediately realize that this matter is not easy when he saw the smile on Gu Yanshu's face at first.

But now that he has nodded his head, even if he finds that things deviate from what he imagined, it is already too late.

After listening to Gu Yanshu's words and knowing what he wanted to do, Zhi Ge was shocked:

"Princess...this?"

"What? Want to go back on it?"

Gu Yanshu caught Zhige's thoughts almost immediately, and would never give him this chance:

"Don't forget what you just promised me?"

Zhi Ge frowned slightly. If he had known that the princess would be so bold, he would have said nothing just now:

"But this thing..."

"I know it's a big deal."

Gu Yanshu didn't wait for Zhi Ge to finish speaking, but stopped his next words:

"It is precisely because of this that I entrust this matter to you, and it can only be done by people from Prince Li's Mansion."

Zhi Ge fell silent again.

I have to say that what Gu Yanshu said is not wrong, if this matter must be

If you want to do it, then you can only leave it to the people in the mansion to do it, so that people can feel at ease.

Seeing that the expression on Zhige's face had loosened, Gu Yanshu took it easy:

"Besides, it's just a small gadget for the prince first. If it is really done, the prince will worry about the future, and there will be no problems."

Gu Yanshu's words can be said to be in Zhi Ge's hands.

After thinking for a while, Zhi Ge knew that Gu Yanshu's words were indeed reasonable, and finally nodded:

"Yes, my subordinates know."

"Okay, let's go!"

After getting an affirmative answer, Gu Yanshu finally showed a satisfied smile to Zhige.

He waved at Zhige, indicating that he could go down and do things.

When seeing Zhi Ge stepping out of the room, Gu Yanshu seemed to have thought of something, and added with a smile:

"My lord is right. Entrusting things to you is reassuring."

Hearing this, Zhi Ge paused his steps.

For the first time in his life, Zhi Ge felt that it was not a good thing to be overly valued by the prince.

But now he has boarded the princess's thief ship, and there seems to be no other way except to follow the princess.

I only hope that when the prince finds out about this in the future, he can see that he is capable and extrajudicial.

And at this time, Qin Lu had just finished talking about business with Qin Yuan, and was about to give the box of glass products to Qin Yuan.

"A gift for me?"

Although Qin Yuan can't say he knows his sons like the back of his hand, he can still be called understanding.

Don't talk about others, just talk about Qin Lu, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem to have the temperament to give him gifts for no reason.

It's not like it hasn't been sent before.

But that was also after returning from the battle, he sent back the money he collected during the battle to the court.

Rather than saying that it was given to him alone, it is better to say that it was sent to the treasury according to the rules of the past dynasties.

Other than that, Qin Lu never gave him anything.

However, at this point in time, Qin Lu would actually think of giving him a gift?

Just when Qin Yuan was greatly surprised by this, he heard Qin Lu's voice:

"It's the princess. He made some gadgets a few days ago. Hearing that Erchen is going to enter the palace today, he asked Erchen to bring them in together and give them to the emperor."

Although Gu Yanshu entered the palace impatiently, Qin Lu did not have the habit of taking credit for himself.

Directly stated the origin of these things.

"Oh? Princess Li?"

Qin Yuan may not have known about Gu Yanshu's reputation as a dude before, but after bestowing a marriage on Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu, Qin Yuan still heard about it.

Now that I know that the things in this box are sent by Gu Yanshu, I feel even more curious:

"What is he giving me?"

Qin Yuan didn't answer, but waved his hand, signaling to the eunuch who carried the box to open the wooden box.

Not long after, Qin Yuan had already seen clearly what was placed in the wooden box.

"This is... a glazed cup?"

Even Qin Yuan, when he saw clearly the crystal clear tea set placed on the top of the wooden box, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He took two steps forward and reached out to pick up one of the teacups.

But after holding the teacup in his hand, Qin Yuan immediately noticed something was wrong:

"No, it's not Liuli, what is this?"

After Qin Lu gave the glazed cup to Qin Yuan, Qin Yuan also played with it for a while.

Now it is natural to be able to tell the difference between the two.

The glazed cup was carved out of jade, and there was a warm feeling in the hand, but now the teacup in my hand can only feel cold.

Besides, not only the feel, but also the weight is not right.

In the past, the glazed cup was like jade, with a feeling of falling, but this teacup feels a little light.

In addition, the production process seems to be different.

The glazed cup was carved from jade, so the traces of carving and polishing of the carving knife can be vaguely seen.

But now this teacup has a smooth and even rim, it looks more like it was fired like porcelain.

Just as Qin Yuan was observing the difference between the teacup in his hand and the glazed cup, Qin Lu also spoke at the right time:

"It is indeed not glass, the princess said, this thing is called glass."

"Glass?" Qin Yuan repeated the unfamiliar term in a low voice.

"Wangfei said that it can be regarded as a kind of colored glaze, but unlike colored glaze, this kind of item is more crystal clear, and it can also be made and processed by people themselves like porcelain."

Qin Lu repeated in a low voice what Gu Yanshu had said about glass.

This explanation also happened to confirm Qin Yuan's conjecture about the teacup.

After knowing that this glass is artificially processed like porcelain, Qin Yuan knew that this thing might not be as famous as he imagined.

expensive.

But even if it is not expensive, it is better than novelty.

No matter how much it is worth, Qin Yuan has never seen this kind of crystal clear glass before.

Coupled with the fact that this was the intention of Qin Lu and Gu Yanshu, Qin Yuan still felt happy in his heart.

Dang even called the prince who was standing aside:

"Xiao Dezi, come here, use this set of tea sets to make me a cup of tea!"

"Yes!" Eunuch Wang hurried forward, carefully took the tea set from Qin Yuan's hand and took the teacup.

After Wang Gonggong took the tea set out of the box, Qin Yuan discovered that there were several items made of glass under the tea set.

Those things were placed under the box, Qin Yuan didn't see them clearly, he only knew that they looked much bigger than the above set of tea sets:

"What is this?"

"If you go back to the father, it's the lampshade." Qin Lu didn't even need to look to know what Qin Yuan was asking.

"Lampshade?" Qin Yuan was a little surprised. If it was a tea set, it was justified, but what does it mean to give a lampshade?

"The princess said that the father is worried about state affairs, and often needs to review official documents after nightfall. Most of the current lampshades are made of silk cloth, and the light transmission is not good, which makes the candles that are not bright enough appear even more dim. The glass lampshade can make the light brighter when the father reviews the memorial at night."

Perhaps it was because he had never said such flattering words before. When he said this, Qin Lu's tone was a little stiff.

But Qin Yuan didn't care about Qin Lu's tone at all at this time, all his energy was concentrated on Qin Yuan's sentence "can make the light brighter".

I don't know if it's because he's getting older or what's going on, but Qin Yuan just feels that he can see things less and less clearly now than when he was young.

It was fine during the day, but at night, after lighting the candles, Qin Yuan always felt that the light was not bright enough, and reviewing the memorials became a problem.

Just when Qin Yuan was having a headache because of this matter, Qin Lu actually sent a solution.

Immediately, Qin Yuan didn't care about other things, and directly called the prince who was making tea at the side:

"Small boy!"

Eunuch Wang has been serving Qin Yuan all the time, and he also knows Qin Yuan's problems.

He waved to the side, signaling to the little eunuch under his hand to take over the job of making tea in his hand.

Wang Gonggong quickly walked in front of Qin Yuan in three steps and two steps

, didn't even need Qin Yuan to order:

"The slave is here! Now, the slave will replace the lampshade for the emperor to see?"

Then I saw Qin Yuan waving his hand, signaling the prince to act quickly.

He had just received the glass teacup, and Wang Gonggong also knew that the glass might be fragile, so when he took the lampshade out of the box, he was extra careful.

Not long after, the prince replaced the lampshade of the candle on Qin Yuan's desk with a glass lampshade brought by Qin Lu.

After changing, the prince bowed towards Qin Yuan:

"Your Majesty, you may need to close the doors and windows to see the effect."

"Close it." Qin Yuan waved his hand and agreed without thinking.

Eunuch Wang winked directly at a few young eunuchs standing not far away, signaling them to close the doors and windows.

He turned around, took the torch on the side, and lit the candle.

The little eunuchs moved very quickly, and after a while, the doors and windows were closed, and only the light from the candle was left in the room.

After feeling it for a while, Qin Yuan couldn't help but sigh:

"Sure enough, it's much brighter! This glass lampshade is pretty good!"

From Qin Yuan's reaction, it can be seen that although the glass tea set is new and beautiful, he still just feels it is flat.

But now Qin Yuan really likes this lampshade.

Sure enough, the prince swiftly replaced the other candles in the imperial study with glass lampshades and lit them together.

After realizing that the room was instantly brightened like daylight, Qin Yuan couldn't restrain the joy in his heart:

"This glass lampshade is very suitable for me, thank you!"

Qin Yuan cupped his hands slightly towards Qin Yuan:

"As long as the father likes it, it's just that the concubine specially explained before the son entered the palace that he should not ask for a reward from the father."

"Oh? Really?" This was the first time Qin Yuan wanted to give a reward but was rejected.

"The concubine said that the father did not accept the donation because he was sympathetic. This time the glass is his heart for the father. If he took the reward, it would not be a heart."

Although Qin Lu didn't fully understand what Gu Yanshu said, but since Gu Yanshu ordered it, he naturally had his reasons.

But these words sounded very appropriate to Qin Yuan's ears:

"Since that's the case, then this time I will follow Princess Li's wishes."

God knows how heartbroken Qin Yuan was when he didn't accept the 120 million for the face of the royal family last time.

or

It was because the money was in Qin Lu's hands and would eventually be used to support their Tianqi soldiers, Qin Yuan really wanted to take the money for himself regardless of face.

Who knew that Princess Li was more sensible than imagined, and she could bring him such unexpected joy.

Now looking at the glass lampshade that made the imperial study room bright, Qin Yuan's regret was immediately relieved a lot.

Then something seemed to come to mind:

"Just now, Xiao Dezi said, how many wooden boxes did you bring with you when you entered the palace?"

I don't know why, but Qin Lu always felt that his father's question seemed to mean something else:

"They are also small gadgets made of glass, which the princess prepared for the concubine mother."

"That's it."

Qin Yuan's tone seemed to be slightly disappointed, but it was fleeting:

"The imperial concubine knows that you are entering the palace today, so she has been waiting for a while, and it just so happens that you sent the things over, so don't make her wait too long."

The gift was given, and the business was finished, Qin Ludang even bowed to Qin Yuan:

"Yes, Erchen retire."
