Chapter 1021: The Demeanor of the Fighter (40)
Porcelain firing with makeup clay is not an immediate thing, and it is not simple to pull the embryo, fire, and color, and it takes several days to work.
The singing and dancing in the hall are still level, and Xue Chongyin is alone, in the corner of the main hall, concentrating and busy, his hands are full of mud.
Most of the hours passed, and he only completed the first shaping process.
The latter could not be carried out in the hall, so he stopped and walked to the center of the hall.
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Queen, this rough embryo of the minister is just beginning, and it will be sent to the kiln for firing."
Empress Wu waved her hand, waved away the crowd in front of the stairs to greet and sing, and looked at him, "You have been busy for a long time, where are the utensils?" ”
Xue Chongyin took out the tray, and on it was a most ordinary porcelain bowl embryo, although the appearance was smooth and delicate, but the color was dark red, the bowl shape was clumsy, and it looked a little dirty and ugly.
Empress Wu glanced at it from afar, and was a little puzzled, "Chongyin, the palace performs, each shows his skills, since you want to burn porcelain, why don't you choose some exquisite things to entertain the ears and eyes, but you want to get a crude porcelain bowl?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister learned this skill, it was seven or eight years ago, at that time, he was young, he learned to jump out, and he didn't dare to call himself specialized, His Majesty drove before, and the minister didn't dare to grandstand, just to be safe, and the porcelain bowl could be formed smoothly, so he was satisfied" Xue Chongyin replied loudly, frankly, and what he said was the truth, without any concealment.
"You are sincere" Empress Wu understated, waved her hand, and was about to send him away, "Then ......"
"Your Majesty, the minister has a word to ask," Quan Ce said suddenly.
"Oh?" Empress Wu glanced at Quan Ce, a little surprised.
Shangguan Wan'er behind the martial queen also flashed a trace of strangeness in her eyes, didn't Lang Jun have no arrangements for this sea man Liangzi, could it be that he had changed his mind?
In the long sleeves, she put away a small piece of paper in her hand, she was going to arrange for the palace maid to assist Li Chongjun in cheating, so that he could be in the limelight with his literary talents, which greatly increased the chance of being selected.
Now it seems that it is not needed.
"Chongyin, I taught you to use makeup to make porcelain, do you remember, the most brilliant and decent step, which is the step?" Quan Ce looked at Xue Chongyin at the bottom of the stairs seriously, and his thoughts were inexplicably complicated.
"Back to Xiangye, Chongyin doesn't dare to forget, the finished product can be colored with ingenuity, and it can also show literary sentiment, the most brilliant, ten fingers are not stained with mud and firewood, and it is the most decent" Xue Chongyin replied very clearly.
"Then why don't you make a show to do coloring, but make a rough embryo in the temple?" Quan Ce really has doubts, and he is quite looking forward to Xue Chongyin's reply.
"Xiangye, Chongyin thinks that although the color is easy to shine, it is not the true process of firing porcelain, and although the shaping of the rough embryo is muddy, it is the starting step, and it can best reflect the effect of makeup soil" Xue Chongyin glanced at the board.
"Good" Quan Ce nodded, and only gave a one-word comment, but the look of approval in his eyes was very strong.
Seeing this, Empress Wu also praised two sentences, "Not impetuous, impulsive and modest, with a calm body, but it is rare, stick to your heart for a long time, and you will benefit for life in the future"
"Your Majesty's teachings" Xue Chongyin bowed deeply.
"You go down, bathe and change clothes and come back, the porcelain bowl you made, after firing, send it to the palace to use" Empress Wu rarely showed a touch of love, compared with the two grandsons around her, her grandson and nephew, what a good son.
Xue Chongyin slowly retreated.
"Imperial grandmother, on this good occasion, my grandson is also willing to present a dance to congratulate the imperial grandmother" Li Longye suddenly interjected, no longer willing to be silent.
Empress Wu's face turned pale, she had repeatedly stated openly and secretly that she didn't want her two grandsons to participate in the marriage, why did she still not know the general situation, and she wanted to get involved?
"You are still young, you should work harder, after you finish your studies, it's not too late to fiddle with the flashiness of singing and dancing" Empress Wu showed no mercy and directly reprimanded Li Longye.
Li Longye did not panic and fear, but fell to the ground on his knees, and sobbed, "Imperial grandmother, grandson is not blessed, brother is successful, but he suffers bad luck, Wei Guogong and others, famous teachers and others, often in front of the emperor, versatile, grandson lonely, incomparable, I hope that the imperial grandmother looks down on her grandson's sincere and filial piety, and the quasi-grandchild is a little effective."
Li Longye's crying made the cheerful atmosphere in the hall a little strange.
Empress Wu looked at him deeply and took a deep breath. Qiankun Audiobook.com
She gradually clarified Li Longye's intentions.
This is a temptation, but also a tailwind.
If she gives the noble daughter of the Japanese Kingdom to Li Longye in marriage, it is a great encouragement for the momentum of Li Dan's side, even if she does not give him marriage, he must give him some compensation.
Li Dan's appetite is quite good, and he climbs up the pole, wanting face.
If Empress Wu did not give marriage and did not compensate, it naturally showed that Empress Wu's mind was not firm, and Li Dan would be more restrained.
After all, it's a sure-fire deal.
"Your Majesty, since the King of Zhongshan is keen on this, you might as well let him dance, young people like to be lively, and it is understandable" Quan Ce spoke, and he also tasted the taste from Li Longye's abnormal persistence, and simply pushed the boat with the water.
Empress Wu snorted lightly, closed her eyes slightly, and ignored it.
Turning around, he said to Li Longye, "King Zhongshan's filial piety touched the sky, there is a need in the court, presumably King Zhongshan will not push it?" ”
Li Longye was difficult to ride a tiger, so he should go down with his neck.
Quan Ce smiled, pointed to the hall, and asked him to start performing.
Li Longye's dance music is an old-fashioned repertoire, which was often seen in the palace in the past, and King Qin broke the array.
Empress Wu only glanced at it, and then snorted coldly.
Li Chongjun, who was not far away, his eyebrows fluttered, and he sneered, Li Longye probably wanted to take the opportunity to show the orthodoxy of the Li royal family and attract the royalists of Li Tang's old ministers, but he forgot that it was Li Dan's mother surnamed Wu who was sitting on his dragon chair, not surnamed Li.
"The emperor's grandmother, grandson Longye, is willing to seek the noble daughter of the Japanese country, the vast Celestial Empire Huairou Yuanyi, and the friendship of the feudal states of the Solid Celestial Empire"
After Li Longye finished dancing, he opened his mouth and smashed the middle palace and pierced the window paper.
Wu Hou sank like water, and there was a fierce color in his eyes.
What's even more surprising is that the sons and grandchildren of Zanliang and Hairen, who are the parties involved, also turned a blind eye and said nothing.
The temple was as if it were frozen.
"Giggles" Shangguan Wan'er chuckled, came out to play the round, she stepped down the stairs and helped Li Longye up.
There was a moment of struggle in Li Longye's eyes, if he left the eyes of everyone and lost the sympathy of kneeling and begging, I am afraid that the chance is slim.
But it is also difficult to let him use brute force to pull and carry Shangguan Wan'er.
"Time flies, the king of Zhongshan has also reached the age of Mu Ai, and he can find a lovely little lady on a different day, but he can ask the concubine to ask, if the two parties are interested, they will be able to achieve the immortal family."
Shangguan Wan'er said it tactfully, but the meaning is clear, you ask for it, and you have to be intentional to do it, if you ask for it, then why do you set up this banquet?
Li Longye's face was red.
Li Chongjun didn't let go of this opportunity, and immediately spoke up, with a gun and a stick, "The King of Zhongshan is used to acting like this in the gods, but before His Majesty drives, he should be more restrained, and pay attention to everything You and I want, yes or no?" ”
Li Longye sneered, "Since His Royal Highness Taisun knows your affection and my wishes, he came here for a banquet, isn't it just to watch the excitement?" ”
Li Chongjun said loudly, "The emperor's grandmother set up a banquet for the king of the Japanese country, and I am here to participate in the grand event, and I am absolutely selfless.
Quan Ce took a sip of wine and smiled secretly.
