Chapter 42: Blackmail Again, More Cunning Old Fox
The congratulatory gift to Li Zhi received a lot of praise, and the congratulatory gift to the Empress Wu was no exception. Everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention the martial arts queen who has entered the age of not being confused and pays great attention to her appearance?
Therefore, rubbing the large wooden dresser, and under Li Xian's instructions, he opened one drawer after another, playing with special rouge gouache and some gadgets, the smile on the face of the Empress Wu became deeper and deeper, and finally nodded and praised again and again.
The two brothers below glanced at each other, Li Hong was relieved, but Li Xian was excited. Isn't it just to please his two supreme fathers and mothers? Otherwise, he only gave a gift to Li Zhi, but ignored the Empress Wu, and if he didn't say anything about it, but he had a pimple in his heart, it would be worth the loss. Give a full set of gifts, and it's depressing to leave one for no reason.
It's a pity that he doesn't know how to make Rausch's glass, otherwise if he uses a glass mirror instead of a copper mirror on the dressing table, he will have to make money. Forget it, you can't be a man, as long as he, the king of Pei, can mix comfortably, it's no problem to be a billionaire, why think so much?
Sure enough, as he expected, as soon as Empress Wu was happy, he and Li Hong immediately got tangible benefits. First, Li Hong can go out of the palace to visit the people in the future - Li Xian's understanding is that he is ordered to go out to play, and he, the prince's brother, is finally bitter; Second, the palace maids who were trained were very good, and they would all be used by Li Xian in the future, and they could take the time to train another batch, naturally, this was exactly what Li Xian wanted; The third is to agree to Li Xian's request, if Xue Rengui returns to see His Majesty, he will invite him to teach archery.
Out of the martial harem, Li Hong, who had always been a prince outside, jumped twice happily, and then waved his fist fiercely. Li Xian next to him grinned, and suddenly remembered what happened earlier, so he hooked his shoulders and pulled Li Hong aside.
"When you first looked at me, what did that guy from Li Yifu say?"
When he mentioned this, Li Hongdeng was angry: "That's what you heard when you came, this guy is a demon when he says something abnormal, and he just doesn't have good intentions!" This guy is really determined to stir up the situation, and he can't be allowed to be so arrogant anymore! ”
Sympathy! Li Xian nodded in agreement, secretly glad that he had already made all the preparations, and smoothly pulled Li Ji into the water for this. Of course, Li Ji's old fox is also not easy to deal with, so he has to play with his tricks. Right now, he and the old fox are grasshoppers on a rope, Li Ji doesn't want to leave him!
He was thinking about how to blackmail Li Ji again, when he suddenly heard another sentence in his ear: "By the way, the sixth brother, the thing you gave to your father...... No, it's a chair, can you get me one? Of course, you gave me a credit for nothing this time, I won't treat you badly, someone in the East Palace recently sent a good bow, my arm strength is not enough to keep it useless, just make an ordinary bow, since you are practicing archery, I will pass it on to you, how about it? ”
Hey, this prince brother is now enlightened and knows what an equivalent exchange is!
Li Xian was happy in his heart, the most important thing for a chair was valuable good wood, but no matter what, good wood was easy to obtain, and good bows were hard to find, so he still earned it. Thinking of this, he patted Li Hong's shoulder vigorously: "Fifth brother, since you are brothers, don't worry, I will definitely send you a handful within three days." But you have to pay attention, don't attract the nagging of those people, otherwise Yu Taifu's level will be difficult. ”
"That's right." Li Hong couldn't help but have a bitter face, but soon his eyes lit up, "That's good, just give Taifu Yu another chair, so that I can also fall into the name of a respected teacher...... Oh! He suddenly remembered that in addition to Yu Zhining, a prince and a prince in the East Palace, there were also a number of princes, young masters, and princes, all of whom were his masters.
"Sixth brother, help others to the end, can you just help me get a few more things?"
More? I have to sell it for money, and there will be no store in this village, how can I give it away for nothing?
Although he muttered in his heart, Li Xian knew that Li Hong, the prince of the East Palace, was not as convenient as him, and it was not so convenient to use money, besides, the finished products made by Helan Zhou were all the best wood, and the price was not cheap. However, the people who use it now are still limited to the palace, and the fame is out, but the advertising effect is not enough, in this case, you can consider it.
"Okay, for the sake of you being my fifth brother, Yu Taifu and those other people, I'll give you six more pieces!" Seeing that Li Hong was elated for a moment, Li Xian smiled slightly, and then rubbed his thumb and index finger and middle finger to make a signature action, "Fifth brother, I will keep the account for the rest." ”
"Good, good!" Li Hong, who was in a good mood, no longer schemed as in the past, and agreed. The two brothers muttered to each other for a while before they parted ways. Li Hong returned to his own East Palace, but Li Xian was worried about the livelihood outside the palace, and went back to change his clothes and prepared to leave the palace. However, at the gate of the palace, he bumped into an uninvited guest.
"His Royal Highness King Pei has been in the limelight for a while today!"
With a chubby figure, most of his hair is gray, his eyes are squinted with a smile, and his round face reveals a kind of treacherous taste. Li Xian muttered after just a glance, isn't this Xu Jingzong, who has a very strong relationship with Li Yifu?
"It turned out to be Xu Xiang!"
Xu Jingzong is the young master of the crown prince, although Li Xian said that he didn't know whether this was a chance encounter or a deliberate collision, so he naturally didn't dare to lack courtesy. After a period of greetings, he was about to smear the soles of his feet with oil, but unexpectedly, Xu Jingzong opened his mouth with a smile again.
"It is said that the gifts given to Your Majesty by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Pei today are indeed ingenious, and such a strange and ingenious design will be spread all over the world in a few days. I have heard many times from the queen mother that His Royal Highness is talented and intelligent, and it is indeed worthy of his reputation, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the old man can only look at His Highness's back! ”
What does this old guy mean by not saying this?
Li Xian looked at Xu Jingzong's smiling face, and his doubts grew bigger and bigger. This old man Xu is more low-key than Li Yifu, and the degree of treacherous and cunning is naturally surpassed. Moreover, Xu Jingzong has one characteristic that is famous all over the world, that is, he loves money! Of course, Old Man Xu is a good way to make money, and he is not like Li Yifu who asks for bribes everywhere, although his greed index is high, but it is still somewhat restrained.
"Xu Xiang......"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Jingzong grabbed the conversation: "Since Your Highness is going out, my carriage is spacious, why don't you get in the car and talk about it in detail?" ”
Get in the car, get in the car, master, I have fought more than one old fox, and I'm afraid that you won't make it?
PS: It's Chinese New Year's Eve in Shanghai today, and I don't know how it is going across the country. I wish you all a good New Year, hehe, the recommended ticket will be smashed to me as New Year's money!
