On the side, Wu Meiniang sat obediently and softly next to the desk, and was grinding ink for the pearl of the royal palm.

Looking at this picturesque, but smart and delicate princess, there is almost no one who does not like this kind-hearted princess.

And Wu Meiniang pays more attention to Her Royal Highness the princess, after all, this cute and kind little princess can almost be said to have been fattened by Cheng Sanlang......

Not...... Thinking of this, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but glance down at herself, her slender figure that was becoming more and more erect.

Of course, I also liked the food he delivered. Always able to arouse their own cravings.

I still remember the days ago, when my companions commented that my figure had not only grown taller, but also rounded up a lot.

But Wu Meiniang was nervous for a few days, for fear that if Third Brother Cheng liked thin women, what would he do?

However, she didn't think about it for long, the last time because of the dead fat man of King Wei, Third Brother Cheng entered the palace because of this.

After seeing himself, the still warm and gentle gaze, and the sunny smiling face.

The important thing is that this stupid wood not only did not say that she was fat, but also offered herself new food, which made Wu Meiniang finally breathe a sigh of relief.

A stupid person like Cheng Sange, who says whatever he thinks, if he can't see what this girl is, he will definitely say it directly.

Gee, why do I care so much about that stupid wood? It's not like this girl can't get married......

"Sister Wu, your face is so red...... a crisp and sweet voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

Wu Meiniang was stunned for a while, and then noticed that Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang in front of her, was staring at her dark eyes and looking at herself curiously.

Wu Meiniang also noticed that Empress Changsun's gaze also moved, and now she became more and more calm, so she could only quickly raise her hand to cover her pretty face.

"Your Highness, you can't be mistaken...... Well, it should be hot, it's hot......"

Fortunately, at this time, I heard the eunuch's report outside, saying that His Royal Highness King Wu had something to do to see the queen mother.

The eldest grandson empress, whose eyes seemed to be able to perceive people's hearts, looked away, making Wu Meiniang breathe a sigh of relief.

But in my heart, I couldn't help but grit my teeth with hatred, and I was so fast that the stupid wood of the third brother made me almost embarrassed.

#####

I saw His Royal Highness King Wu, who was so elegant in his manners, walking towards him, and then bowed respectfully to Empress Changsun.

"Sons see the queen mother's ......"

"I've seen my son's sister."

"My son has seen the third brother." Li Mingda put down his pen and bowed to Li Ke obediently.

Empress Eldest Sun smiled gently, beckoned Li Ke to sit beside her, and personally served him a bowl of chilled lotus seed soup.

"Okay Saburo, don't be polite, come and sit down...... There is just a soup to cool off here, so drink it quickly. ”

"Thank you Queen Mother, I came here today, first, to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and secondly, I want to come to the Queen Mother to discuss."

Li Ke took a sip after taking it, and said with both hands the bamboo tube containing the paper pattern.

"This is ......," Empress Changsun glanced at the bamboo tube with some stunnedness. Could it be that Saburo has something good to offer to your father? ”

Sitting obediently in front of the desk, Li Mingda, who had just picked up the pen, also looked over curiously.

The corner of Li Ke's eyes swept over the medical girl and the personal maid of the queen mother who had an unclear relationship with Brother Bi, let's be here, anyway, I am also here to show my merit to Brother Bi.

"Queen Mother, the thing here is not a famous artist's calligraphy and painting, but a paper sample made by Cheng Chubi......"

"Third Brother Cheng did it?" Without waiting for the confused Empress Eldest Sun to speak, Li Mingda's eyes lit up and he grabbed the conversation.

"Yes, it's Cheng Saburo's handwriting." Li Ke explained to this cute and well-behaved girl with a pleasant face.

Wu Meiniang's eyes lit up suddenly, and she lowered her eyes again, but her eyes kept staring at the bamboo tube in the hands of the eldest grandson queen.

Empress Dai raised her eyebrows lightly, and pulled out the paper pattern that was not impregnated with ink from the bamboo tube. Then spread out in front of him.

"This paper, huh? ......" Empress Eldest Sun had already changed slightly after touching the paper pattern, and when she saw the handwriting of the poem that had been copied on the paper.

The point is that the handwriting of these ink books, although there is a slight dip in some places, can only be regarded as a small flaw.

Seeing Empress Eldest Sun's increasingly suspicious gaze, as well as her increasingly solemn expression, Li Ke lowered his voice and explained.

"This is just the first batch of paper patterns that Brother Chu Bi asked Chengjia Paper Mill to try-produce, and Brother Chu Bi said that there is still room for improvement......

"This paper ...... How much does it cost? Empress Eldest Sun took a deep breath and asked in a somewhat cautious tone.

"According to Brother Bi, that is, eight or nine dollars a zhang of paper, and the paper price of those paper money, there is almost no difference."

“…… Only eight or nine dollars? Empress Changsun's solemn expression changed suddenly, and her voice suddenly rose an octave.

The eldest grandson empress, who was also very good at controlling her emotions, also realized that she was a little out of shape.

After settling down, he smiled at Li Mingda. "Good son, my mother wants to talk to your third brother about business......"

Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang, who is a wise and intelligent woman, nodded obediently and stood up.

"Mother, third brother, the little son will go out to play first, and then come back to practice calligraphy, okay?"

"Go, Mei Niang, accompany Jinyang ......" Empress Changsun hugged this girl who really didn't know how to praise her, and then instructed Wu Meiniang.

"Okay lady, Your Highness, please come with the slave maid ......"

Although Wu Meiniang regretted that she couldn't continue to listen to it, the news that Li Ke and Empress Changsun had just answered was shocking enough.

In the days when she copied books, she naturally inquired about the price of paper.

It is clear that there are several types of paper on the market today that can be used for writing, and the price of each one is ridiculously expensive.

Like the best paper in Xuanzhou tribute paper, I am afraid that without a hundred dollars, I can't buy a zhang at all.

If it's a little worse, you won't feel expensive if you want seventy or eighty dollars.

The price of the most inferior Xuanzhou tribute paper is also between 60 and 70 yuan.

And the hard yellow paper, the most inferior hard yellow paper, is almost 30 yuan a zhang.

Only those pieces of paper that can't be written will have the price fluctuate between ten and seven dollars, after all, the usage is different.

Empress Eldest Sun suppressed the excitement in her heart and calmed down a little before asking.

"He, why did he think about making paper again?"

Li Ke touched his face, glanced at Li Mingda, who was looking curiously at the paper pattern, and Wu Meiniang, whose eyes were shining, and then hardened his head.

"That...... Brother Chu Bi felt that he was too poor. ”

“？？？”
