Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

Gu Yanshu's Warm House Banquet was very successful. It not only attracted a lot of articles for the daily, but also gained a lot of favorability.

After the banquet that day, the attitude of these ministers towards Prince Li's Mansion changed significantly.

Not only is there a lot of intimacy in words, but even when it comes to Princess Li, she is full of praise.

Naturally, the change of attitude of these veterans cannot be hidden from other ministers in the court.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Master Wen, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and Lord Pei, the chief assistant, not only did not ignore Wang Li as before, but they even took the initiative to talk to him.

Mr. Pei is better, at least on the surface, there is not much change.

However, Mr. Wen seemed to have no scruples at all, he almost didn't write the words "I support His Royal Highness Li Wang" on his face.

Some courtiers who were close to these ministers but did not attend the Wen Ju Banquet in Prince Li's Mansion did inquire about the news.

As a result, who knew that these ministers kept silent, even vague.

He faintly revealed some specious news, and then showed an expression of inscrutability and a little embarrassment, and stopped talking.

Everyone's curiosity can be said to be caught high, but they can't touch even a little bit of the truth, which makes people scratch their hearts and feel helpless at the same time.

It's not unreasonable for ordinary people to say that children are old and young, and people become more immature as they get older. This is the case with these veterans.

The old ministers will make such a gesture, it is completely negotiated in private.

Just kidding, neither the glass windows nor the reading glasses are in hand yet, how boring is it to show off dryly?

It's better to wait until the things are in hand, then put on the reading glasses and show off with these colleagues.

But they feel that the joy in their hearts is not shared with others, and they can't help but want to reveal something.

So it became vague in the eyes of the young ministers.

The veterans did not cover up these changes in any way, and the First Prince Qin Sheng was naturally aware of them.

Just for such a matter, the First Prince's residence has replaced countless batches of porcelain these days.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, so what happened at the Wenju Banquet in Prince Li's Mansion naturally cannot be kept secret.

Aside from that, these old ministers, when facing colleagues who don't know anything, can act like "you want to know, but I won't tell you", but in front of the emperor, they are

Never dare.

Soon, the emperor knew what happened in Prince Li's mansion.

That afternoon, the emperor didn't delay at all, and directly sent someone to call Qin Lu to the imperial study.

After Qin Lu came, the emperor didn't even give Qin Lu a chance to react.

He flicked the memorial in his hand and asked sharply:

"King Li, are you guilty?"

"I still hope that the father will make it clear."

It's a rare leisure time, originally planning to spend a pleasant afternoon with his princess, but Qin Lu, who was hurriedly called to the imperial study by the emperor, was indeed a little dazed at this time.

There have been no major incidents in the three armies recently, the military department is also calm, and the affairs of the palace are handled by the princess, so there will be no accidents...

Just when Qin Lu was thinking about what the emperor was so angry about in his mind, he heard the emperor speak:

"Why don't you ask me to make it clear? You don't know what you did yourself?"

Then, a bright yellow object flew towards Qin Lu.

Qin Lu raised his hand subconsciously, and only after catching the object did he realize that it was a memorial.

Looking up at the emperor's expression, Qin Lu lowered his head and silently opened the memorial that was thrown into his hands.

After opening it, Qin Lu discovered that it was a memorial written by Mr. Sun, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the content on it was what happened at the Wenju Banquet in Prince Li's Mansion a few days ago.

Although the memorial of Lord Sun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is biased, it is indeed biased towards Prince Li's residence, and his words reveal his satisfaction with Prince Li and Princess Li.

At least in Qin Lu's view, there is nothing wrong with it.

So father...why is he angry?

After reading the contents of the memorial, the doubts in Qin Lu's heart increased instead of diminishing.

However, just when Qin Lu was puzzled, the emperor spoke again:

"I ask you, what is the movable type printing and floor heating written on it? What is the glass greenhouse? And what does the glass window look like? Why haven't I seen it?"

This time, the emperor's tone seemed more sour than what he just read.

Rao was as dull as Qin Lu, but at this time he also heard some clues.

That's right, the emperor's heart is almost sour now.

God knows how happy he was when Prince Tianli sent gadgets to the palace from time to time a few days ago.

Especially when he got the magnifying glass, reading glasses and binoculars, and when the old guys under his hand showed off, seeing the envious eyes of those old guys, the emperor didn't know how proud he was.

Who knew it was just a warm house banquet

, everything has changed!

Just now, when those old guys mentioned Prince Li's Mansion, they were full of praise.

The emperor didn't feel wrong at first, King Li was his son after all, and the courtiers praised his son very much, so the emperor was also happy.

But listening to it, the emperor felt that something was wrong.

When the old guys talked about magnifying glasses and reading glasses, he could still keep up with the conversation, and he could even show them off.

When it comes to the daily newspaper, he can also keep a serious face on the sidelines and secretly feel happy.

Listening to those old ministers talking about the various advantages of the daily newspaper and his wisdom, my heart soared to the sky with joy.

But when those people talked about movable type printing, the emperor faintly felt that there was something wrong.

When these people talked about floor heating again, the emperor realized something was wrong.

After hearing about the glass greenhouse again, the emperor became an outsider completely, unable to speak at all.

Just because of the high-profile showing off a few days ago, all the veterans thought that the emperor had seen these things before.

No one explained to the emperor what those things were.

The emperor, who showed off his cool a few days ago, was naturally too embarrassed to ask.

Not only are you embarrassed to ask, but you also have to pretend that I know everything and have seen everything, but it’s just common stuff. Your unseen appearance is really ugly. You are worthy of my son. That's how capable he is.

But how aggrieved he is in his heart, only the emperor himself knows.

No, as soon as those old officials left, the emperor called Qin Lu to the study and directly questioned him.

The emperor's words were awkward, if it were the former Qin Lu, maybe he really didn't know what he was trying to do.

But now that he has been with Gu Yanshu for a long time, Qin Lu can also understand the deep meaning of some words.

In addition, the time when the emperor called Qin Lu over just now is a bit delicate.

Before going out, Gu Yanshu was afraid of something, so he stuffed a purse of money into the eunuch who came to announce the decree.

I learned from the eunuch that the emperor had just finished discussing with the ministers who came to the Wenju banquet in Prince Li's mansion a few days ago, so Dang even made some guesses and told Qin Lu.

Now Qin Lu looked at the memorial in his hand, and thought about what his father said just now, and knew that his princess had guessed what his father was thinking.

Even if you slow down your mind,

bowed to the emperor:

"Reporting to my father, the movable type printing, floor heating, glass windows and glass flower house are all small things that the princess has been tinkering with in the palace these days. They were originally intended to be presented to my father, but they are not yet fully perfected. , it’s not good to show your ugliness in front of the emperor.”

"Really?" This reason is reasonable, and the emperor's tone has eased a lot, but it is still a bit sour, "Then why did they all get Mr. Pei?"

Qin Lu leaned over slightly, and answered calmly:

"Father Emperor Mingjian, Mr. Pei and others, glass windows and other things are still being fired in the Taoran Kiln Factory and have not been delivered."

This is not Qin Lu's nonsense. A few days ago, Taoran Kiln Factory has been firing the glass products needed to open the door of Taoranju. The glass windows promised to you adults only started firing yesterday.

As for the floor heating, not all of the more than [-] craftsmen who participated in the repair of the main courtyard of Prince Li's Mansion were good at it, so now Gu Yanshu is still conducting emergency training for the craftsmen who are not very good at laying floor heating.

The emperor also thought about it at this time. Those ministers seemed to have said that just now, Prince Li's mansion said that it would take some time to prepare, and the things hadn't been delivered yet.

Immediately, his face looked better, and then he heard Qin Lu's voice:

"Originally, the concubine also wanted to send glass windows and floor heating to the emperor, but repairing the palace is not a trivial matter. In addition, the current glass production of Taoran kiln is low, which is not enough to replace the entire palace, so I want to wait until the glass production is slightly stabilized. Then ask your father for his opinion."

Hearing that Prince Li's mansion had considered so thoroughly, the emperor knew that he was wrong to blame Prince Li:

"Ahem, cough, that's true, but it's not necessary to repair the entire palace, it's also possible to just replace the imperial study."

"What the father said is very true. It's because the minister and the princess didn't think well. Why don't we call the officials of the Ministry of Industry to measure the size and replace the doors and windows for the imperial study?"

Qin Lu graciously took the mistake to himself, and offered to replace the glass windows of the imperial study.

Now the emperor felt completely at ease:

Now the imperial study room also needs to change the glass windows, so you can know without guessing, Prince Li's mansion will definitely do the windows that are needed in the palace first.

At that time, he will definitely use the glass window before those old guys!

Let the old fellows show off with him!

After the glass windows were replaced, he would call those old fellows to the Imperial Study Room every day to piss them off!

Of course, the emperor who wants to get to the glass window naturally has

Some dissatisfied, and asked about the glass greenhouse and movable type printing.

If there is one, there are two. With the experience just now, Qin Lu gave the emperor a satisfactory explanation in a short time.

He also promised that after returning to the mansion, Tao Ranju would immediately start firing the glass needed for the glass greenhouse, and strive to build it in the emperor's imperial garden as soon as possible.

As for movable type printing, it is naturally easier to explain.

After all, there are many movable type modules, and the engraving speed is relatively slow.

I didn't say it before, because it can't be put into use immediately, and I want to wait until it can be put into use immediately, and then surprise the emperor.

Now that he heard that the movable type printing module has entered the state of checking for omissions and making up for vacancies, and even started printing the Four Books and Five Classics, the emperor couldn't sit still, and wanted to take a look for himself.

In the end, it was the prince's persuasion that finally dispelled the idea in the emperor's mind.

Even so, the emperor still sent someone to Prince Li's mansion to bring over the movable type printing model. After studying it for a while, he discovered the beauty of it.

In the end, without even thinking about it, he confiscated the small model confidently and refused to return it to Prince Li's Mansion.

Even very confidently:

"The whole world belongs to me, what's wrong with me wanting you to have a model? Those ministers have all seen it, so what's wrong with me, father?"

In the end, he simply kicked Qin Lu out of the imperial study, bluntly saying that he can get out.

It can be said that Qin Lu was in a foggy state from the beginning of entering the imperial study to the end.

I don't know why, the emperor's performance after getting the movable type printing model always makes Qin Lu feel that the emperor came for this model in the first place!

In the end, Qin Lu naturally suppressed the outrageous thoughts in his heart, turned around and walked outside the palace.

Of course, before leaving the palace, Qin Lu did not forget to go to the imperial hospital, as the medicine jade in this mansion was almost used up again.

The so-called first-time birth and second-time acquaintance, for His Royal Highness Li Wang's summoning, Zhou Taiyi's business handling ability is already very proficient.

He walked towards the side hall directly against the eyes of his colleagues who were inquiring or sympathetic or pityful.

And Qin Lu seemed to have realized that it was inappropriate for him to come to the Imperial Hospital from time to time to find Doctor Zhou to get medicine jade.

By the way, he ordered the imperial doctor Zhou to prepare the medicine jade and send it to Prince Li's mansion every half a month, and ask the concubine for a peace pulse by the way.

For this request, Doctor Zhou agreed without thinking about it.

After all, His Highness King Li is much more generous now.

Besides,

That is to say, when His Royal Highness King Li came down to get the medicine jade last time, he rewarded him with a full five taels of silver, which was more than his monthly salary!

Qin Lu didn't care what the imperial physician was thinking, he simply gave Zhou imperial physician a few words, and left the palace with the brocade box containing the medicinal jade.

You must know that when the eunuch announced him into the palace just now, the princess thought that something bad had happened, and the expression on her face was very worried. Now he has to go back and report to the princess as soon as possible.

In fact, Gu Yanshu had already guessed the emperor's intention to summon Qin Lu when the emperor sent someone to get the movable type printing mold in Prince Li's mansion.

After Qin Lu returned to the mansion, he learned from Qin Lu that the emperor did not send a copy to the palace because there was something new in Prince Li's mansion.

When the stone in my heart fell to the ground, I was also a little dumbfounded.

At the same time, Gu Yanshu also knew that if there were any new gadgets in Prince Li's mansion in the future, before giving them to others, he must first send a copy to the palace.

But this time the emperor summoned him urgently, Prince Li's mansion was caught off guard, so naturally there was no time to cover it up, and many people got the news along the way.

The eldest prince who has always regarded Li Wang's mansion as an opponent, and has planted a lot of eyeliners around Li Wang's mansion, naturally knew it at the first time.

Originally, when Qin Lu left the mansion, the eldest prince was still secretly happy in his heart:

He was summoned suddenly at this time, apart from some urgent matter, most likely it was to question the crime.

However, there were no big disturbances or rumors when entering the hall, presumably it wasn't the former.

If it's not the former, then it can only be the latter.

God knows that Qin Sheng has long been jealous because of Qin Lu's use of those new gadgets to make a splash these days.

Seeing that Qin Lu was about to be unlucky now, naturally he almost didn't sing a song to celebrate.

However, before he set up the stage for celebration, he heard the people below report back.

His Royal Highness King Li came out of the imperial study again.

Not only did it come out, but it was also unscathed.

Not only was he unscathed, but the royal father was overjoyed after King Li left.

The first prince's mansion had only been replaced with porcelain that hadn't been there for a long time, and it was completely shattered.

At this moment, the eldest prince's performance corresponds to his evaluation of Gu Yanshu at the beginning——

Incompetent fury.

Even if he hated Prince Li's mansion in his heart, he couldn't do anything other than throw a few porcelains in the mansion.
