Chapter 21: The Glass Mirror

Everyone's eyes stayed on a small box.

This small box was just brought into the hall by Li Yuanjia, and was held in the hand of a beautiful maid.

The emperor naturally looked at him like water, and Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Ke were also calm because of their age, and they did not have much emotional fluctuations because of the emperor's words. Only Li Zhi, the king of Jin who is still young, stared at this small box with curiosity on his face.

The small box is not big, that is, it is two feet square, and the thickness is only about one palm.

But because the person who took it out was Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, even if it didn't show it on his face, in fact, including Li Shimin, he couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart.

"Uncle Huang, open it and take a look!"

"Hehe, don't worry."

Blinking at the handsome little guy Li Zhi, Li Yuanjia took a deep breath, stepped forward and opened the box - it was a shame that he was King Han, the emperor's younger brother, and he had also been allowed by Li Shimin just now, otherwise he would have to be detained with such a box into the palace at will.

At the moment of opening the box, Li Zhi and the others subconsciously took a step forward.

didn't let them wait, Li Yuanjia directly took out the contents of the contents, and then everyone saw a ...... wrapped in silk Well, it seems to be round, something with a short handle!

"Uncle Huang, what the hell is this?"

Just when Li Yuanjia was about to lift the silk with his hands, Li Zhi finally couldn't help his curiosity and asked.

"Hehe, mirror!"

Blinking his eyes, Li Yuanjia said proudly: "A mirror made of glass is also a mirror that you have never seen before!" ”

"Huh?"

After hearing this, Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then the expectation on his face immediately turned into disappointment.

Mirror?

What's so good about this thing?

That's right, as a handsome little guy who was born in the second year of Zhenguan, Li Zhi's attitude towards the mirror is so disdainful...... In the boy's opinion, the mirror is just a thing that women use to waste their time, and it has nothing to do with him at all.

But the future Tang Gaozong didn't notice that after his eleventh uncle lifted the red silk and revealed the true face of this glass mirror, his father and brothers were all stunned as if they were hit by a thunderbolt at the same time.

The conditioned reflex was general, and Li Chengqian stretched out his right hand.

It's just that his outstretched right hand didn't catch anything, because Li Yuanjia dodged lightly, and then immediately held the glass mirror with both hands and stretched out to the emperor: "Second brother, this is the first glass mirror we just made...... The first glass mirror, which is still perfect, is hereby dedicated to Your Majesty! Using glass as a mirror, you can ...... Ahem! You can dress properly...... From now on, you'll never have to use a bronze mirror again. ”

Halfway through the game, Li Yuanjia hurriedly took it back.

It's dangerous!

I was so excited for a while that I almost came out with the famous words that Li Shimin said when Wei Zheng died!

Luckily, no one cared what he said at this time, because everyone's eyes were firmly locked on this so-called "glass mirror"!

"Huh? It looks so clear! ”

As the young Li Zhi said a sentence that was in the period of voice change, Li Yuanjia immediately heard several heavy voices - it was the sound of gasping for air!

Li Yuanjia put the mirror side up and held it to Li Shimin, so the surrounding princes quickly saw what was inside. The others didn't speak, but Li Zhijiao, who was a teenager, couldn't help it.

……

"Bring it to me!"

Unlike his sons, who were gasping for air, Li Shimin unceremoniously stretched out his right hand and took the mirror in Li Yuanjia's hand.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai's hands moved, but no one said anything.

After the prince's action of reaching out was dodged by Li Yuanjia just now, they immediately understood the situation at this time, that is, there was only one glass mirror, so they were not qualified to reach out until the emperor had seen enough......

"Sizzle......"

Just when the eyes of his sons showed subtle looks, Li Shimin held up the glass mirror he had just gotten in front of him, and then gasped as well!

Clear!

It's so clear!

At this time, the emperor did not have the heart to appreciate the rounded shape of the glass mirror, let alone the top carver in the world on the wooden frame and the luxurious lines designed by Li Yuanjia himself, because at this time his eyes and all his thoughts were attracted by the face in the glass mirror.

There is no doubt that this face in the mirror can be called an old handsome guy.

Although the flush on his face was slightly darker because of the fact that he had just drunk a lot of wine, and because of the winter weather and dietary problems, the emperor's skin had been slightly dry recently, and he had two or three fiery boils. But Li Shimin is only in his early forties after all, and his congenital conditions are excellent, so this face in the mirror looks majestic and imposing!

The bottom line is that the level of clarity has never been seen before!

Anyway, after seeing his handsome face in the mirror, Li Shimin's whole person seemed to have fallen into Medusa's magic, staring straight inside and not moving.

Seeing his expression, where could Li Chengqian and the others endure it, all of them were like thousands of ants crawling in their hearts, and their hearts were itching and uncomfortable!

It's just that no matter how itchy it is, a few older princes don't dare to step forward, otherwise it is easy to give people the impression that they are not stable enough. But the little boy Li Zhi didn't have so many scruples, so he came directly to Li Shimin's side and took a stand on tiptoe: "Wow, it's really so clear...... Father, it's like there's really a person standing in it! ”

“…… Well. ”

After listening to his youngest son's words, Li Shimin finally moved. He stared at himself in the glass mirror, looked left and right, shook his head, moved his shoulders again, as if to confirm, and finally hummed from the depths of his throat.

Even Li Shimin felt the incomparable shock at this time!

But this is not surprising, after all, in an era of "copper as a mirror", even the most skilled craftsmen, what good things can be made? The best result is just to polish it brighter, so that people can see their own appearance clearly......

But this so-called clear seeing, compared with the glass mirror from the future, is a complete scum.

And......

Glass mirrors can do more than just show the slightest!

The core is also the brightness and color, which can make people clearly see their own face and see any bit of detail on it, which is incomparable to copper mirrors.

Even if he is as well-informed as Li Shimin, he can't help but be shocked at this time.

So after hearing his youngest son's words, he gave a response, but Li Shimin's eyes still did not leave the mirror in his hand, and the sons next to him blinked anxiously.

At this time, a voice came from the side: "Your Majesty, what are you looking at, so obsessed?" ”
