The porcelain workshop in the Chu Palace's mansion is not too big, but the various utensils are very complete.

These days, all the craftsmen in the porcelain workshop have been divided into several groups by Li Kuan, and they have to fire different things according to different recipes and furnace temperatures.

"Lord Wang, I don't know how many times this has been, although the things that are burned out are very shiny and beautiful, but they don't have the clear and transparent glass you said?"

Qing'er has been soaking in the porcelain workshop with Li Kuan these days, and she has seen Li Kuan stop all the production of the porcelain workshop in order to fire something called glass.

But it has been tested countless times, and even a new porcelain kiln has been built, but it still hasn't fired what Li Kuan wants.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as it is successful, the palace will no longer have to worry about not having enough money to spend in the future."

Li Kuan was not discouraged.

Glass, whether it was used to make mirrors or other ornaments, in this era, regardless of whether it was the Tang Dynasty or Persia, was as expensive as gold of equal weight.

Turning stones into gold!

That's it.

"But it's the queen's birthday soon, is it too late? Do you want to prepare something else for you? ”

"Wait!"

Li Kuan was not sure that he would immediately burn out the qualified glass, but as a last resort, he could still exchange it from the system.

This is Li Kuan's desperate courage.

……

Tai Chi Temple.

"Li Zhong, why hasn't there been news of that Li Kuan recently?"

Li Shimin finished reading a bunch of recitals and stretched his waist.

There has been no news of Li Kuan for more than half a month, and Li Shimin is a little unaccustomed to it.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been living in seclusion recently, so he must have listened to His Majesty's advice and caused less trouble."

Li Zhong, as the leader of the hundred horsemen, naturally knew what Li Kuan was busy with.

However, he didn't dare to tell Li Shimin the truth directly.

No matter which prince it is, if you soak in the workshop all day, this is not a normal situation, right?

The devil knows what madness His Royal Highness King Chu has undergone!

"Hmph, you don't have to speak for Li Kuan, as far as his virtue is concerned, I still don't know." Li Shimin snorted coldly, not believing that Li Kuan really wanted to cause less trouble.

Maybe there's something big going on.

Li Zhong didn't know how to answer Li Shimin's words, so he had to smile brightly.

"Forget it, it's the queen's birthday in a few days, and he is going to appear after all."

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhong's appearance, and he didn't bother to continue asking.

……

The emerald green willow branches fluttered in the wind, giving a little more life around the Taiji Palace.

For the sake of safety and fire prevention, except for the imperial garden, there are trees and flowers in the palace, and there are almost no trees in the other palaces.

Today, the trees around the entire Taiji Palace are full of lanterns, and the lanterns are very lively.

Thus began the birthday of Empress Changsun.

As the most important thing in Chang'an City during this time, the nobles of each family naturally made a lot of preparations for today.

Although it was inconvenient for the ministers of the court to directly congratulate the eldest grandson and queen on her birthday, the wives of the family entered the palace early in the morning.

The main location of the birthday is in the harem, except for the children of the clan, other male animals are not suitable to appear in this place.

However, this did not affect the lively atmosphere of the birthday at all.

"Thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, Chang'an City has really changed a lot in recent years!"

"The queen is getting younger and younger every year, and she is simply a fairy."

"The harem is well governed, and Niangniang deserves to be His Majesty's virtuous helper."

……

The princesses, princesses, and ladies of the princess all sat in a large hall around the eldest grandson queen.

In Chang'an City, all the wives of officials with titles went to the palace in person to celebrate their birthdays, and some even brought their daughters to meet the world.

It is a palace in Nuoda, but it is very lively.

On the contrary, there was no one to eat the fruit on the table.

Mrs. Diplomacy.

This is not only useful in later generations, but also in Datang.

"Your eldest man is sixteen, right? I heard that I want to go to Zuo Wuwei Mansion to be on duty? ”

"Yes, sister, can you talk to the general?"

"There are two counties in Lingnan Road that have been empty, I have a nephew, or last year's Jinshi, sister, can you help say that you want to say something?"

"There are many workshops that have been built recently outside Chang'an City, what are your family's plans?"

……

What many people struggle for all their lives and can't accomplish is done in this kind of private communication.

And the birthday has slowly come to the link that everyone is most interested in.

That's the birthday gift!

Although the identities of these wives are not simple, they have no chance to present the gifts to the queen alone.

Their gifts were handed over to the corresponding palace maids in the form of gift lists when they entered the palace, and there were naturally special people in the palace who were responsible for the storage and management of the dresses.

Those who have the opportunity to present gifts alone are all people who are related to the eldest grandson and queen.

Needless to say, the princes, princesses, princesses, and even the more high-status juniors in the clan born to other concubines have the opportunity to present gifts in person.

Obviously, Li Kuan also belongs to one of them.
