I didn't get any useful news from Li Yifu's mouth, about Ci'en Temple and Liu Shuang, although Li Yifu talked eloquently, but obviously there was something to hide, and when it came to the key point, it always made people feel flickering, which made Li Hong have a lot of curiosity about Ci'en Temple.

In fact, it is no wonder that Li Yifu flickered his words, and the reason why he was vague and ambiguous when he talked about the Temple of Mercy and Grace. It was because some time ago, he fell in love with the concubine of a dismissed official in Ci'en Temple and wanted to accept it as his concubine, so he wanted to release people in Ci'en Temple through Liu Shuang, so when Li Hong asked, Li Yifu had a ghost in his heart and didn't dare to reveal too much to Li Hong.

The families of the six craftsmen brought by Li Yifu were also sent to the Puwang Mansion for resettlement according to Li Hong's wishes, and several craftsmen have been burning molten sand day and night according to the instructions of the acting king.

Li Hong didn't even plan to build two Linglong Pagodas to fulfill his promise, and the composition of the molten glass he had burned in the past few days was still far from what he had requested.

What's more, he doesn't want to make glass ornaments or glass objects such as Linglong Tower, if he has to do it, it is better to add quartz sand to the composition of the glass, etc., and dissolve it into high-end crystal to make jewelry.

Now he wants to make glass by all means, because in a few years his father will order to continue to build Daming Palace, so what he wants now is to make a large area of glass to install on the windows, and then he can make a lot of money from his father and the court!

However, he forgot that by that time he was already the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and after knowing that the price of glass was too high, he found out that this was a pit he had dug for himself when he checked the accounts.

This is why he also asked Li Yifu for two blacksmiths, just to see if the two blacksmiths can stamping into a large area of blocks before cooling when the glass is liquid without stamping technology.

After more than ten days, Li Hong had nothing to do except touch the doorway of the Ci'en Temple, that is, he mixed with a few craftsmen, and everything was progressing smoothly according to his speculation, but the large-scale stamped glass was still unformed, and it could not be installed on the window according to his wishes.

In the backyard, Li Hong was depressed and angry, jumping to scold his mother angrily, but it still didn't help, but he scared the craftsmen so much that they knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up.

Large-scale glass was not made, but there was a breakthrough in artificial crystal. After seeing the liquid crystal, the two glass craftsmen who were beating crookedly suddenly had a flash of inspiration and pressed them into two palm-sized crystal plates, and the four sides were polished like a piece of transparent jade to be carved.

Li Hong held two crystal cards in his hand and weighed them in his hand, and said with some frustration and annoyance: "I will return to the palace in a few days, although this glass has not been made, but this crystal was made by mistake!" It's kind of interesting. In this way, you usually continue to develop the toughness and hardness of glass, and when appropriate, you can make these crystal cards in small quantities. ”

The two glass craftsmen nodded resignedly, when they knew how these things were made, the value of these crystals was not so precious and rare in their eyes, so the two of them did not stare at the two wordless crystal plates.

"What's your name?" Li Hong asked.

"Back to the king, the small people are called Ren Lao, and the small people are called Ren Grievances." The two glass craftsmen replied.

"Hardworking? Interestingly, it's easy for your parents to choose your name. Use the time of the past few days to make a dragon-shaped crystal pendant and a phoenix-shaped crystal pendant, so that I can take it to the palace and hand it over, this should be easy for you, right? Li Hong hopes that these two crystal dragon and phoenix pendants can make his father and mother let him stay outside for more time.

The two looked at each other confidently with a hint of excitement, an impulse they had already had in their minds when they were pressing. Stemming from the instinct of the craftsman, the first time in his heart, is to want to carve some patterns on this exquisite, bright, and colorful crystal plate, and at this moment, when he heard the instructions of the king, he immediately nodded excitedly and firmly.

After Li Hong signaled them to leave, he asked Xia Zhi to take out the two exquisite pagodas given to him by Chengyang and Lanling again, and stared at the two glazed pagodas motionless, as if they had fallen into a demonic barrier.

Three days later, in the evening, there were only four days left before Li Hong returned to the palace, and under the leadership of Hua Meng, one person walked into Li Hong's residence with a rosewood box in his hand.

"Xiaomin has seen the acting king." Hard-working, holding a wooden box in his hand, he stood still and said.

"How? How's it going? Li Hong looked at the wooden box in the hands of the two people, knowing that the big thing had been accomplished, he still asked.

"King Huidai, Xiaomin has been prepared according to your instructions, please take a look." Ren Lao spoke, and a trace of imperceptible pride flashed on their faces at the same time, thinking that they were quite proud of their craftsmanship.

Li Hong took the two wooden boxes from Hua Meng's hands and put them on the desk, opened them one by one, and took out the two crystal dragons and phoenixes inside, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

I saw two pieces of dragon and phoenix crystals under the illumination of the light, shining brightly. And because of the high temperature dissolution, the adult palm-sized dragon and phoenix crystal wear, the carved dragon and phoenix body flashed with a faint blue flame, just like the high temperature flame immersed in it, with the rotation of different angles in the hand, the dragon and phoenix seem to be alive, on the crystal wear vivid.

"Amazing, it seems that Li Yifu did not deceive this king, this carving technique is really lifelike, vigorous and powerful!" Li Hong pondered for a while, and immediately said to Hua Meng: "Chuan Bailu came over, and immediately brought these two wooden boxes into the palace for my father and queen mother." ”

"Yes, Acting King." Hua Meng looked at the two crystal cards, and the dragon and phoenix on them were in Li Hong's hands, as if the real dragon and the real phoenix were entrenched on the crystal cards.

The look is also very happy, if such a treasure is dedicated to His Majesty and the queen, this generation of kings is really promising, and the position of the crown prince in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of the palm of the acting king.

After Hua Meng left to find Bai Lu, Li Hong continued to ask about his hard work: "How many more such crystal cards are there?" ”

"King Huidai, in addition to the two pieces in your hand and these two pieces, there are only seven pieces left."

"Well, it seems that this thing is not so easy to make, I'm afraid these pieces are also selected from the top grade, so let's do it, the remaining seven pieces, tonight you carve it into four Bodhisattvas and three Arhats, I will be useful tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Acting King." Ren said resentfully.

After leaving with hard work, Li Hong compared the two crystal cards in his hand with the Linglong Pagoda, so that the two Linglong Pagodas looked as embarrassing as ugly ducklings, and suddenly lost their brilliance, making it difficult for people to shift their eyes from the crystal cards to the shoddy Linglong Pagoda.

Bai Lu took the two wooden boxes and went directly to the palace, Li Hong explained that Hua Meng would invite Chengyang and Lanling to come to Puwangfu early tomorrow morning, looking at the two exquisite towers, Li Hong said in his heart: "It's time to repay the love of Chengyang and Lanling." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, he put the remaining seven pieces on Li Hong's desk, and at this moment Xia Zhi was still waiting for the king to dress and wash.

And early in the morning, no one noticed that Bai Lu had not returned since she went to the palace last night.

Lanling and Chengyang arrived at King Pu's Mansion at the same time, Li Hong stood at the door with a ponytail to greet him, watched the two beauties get out of the car, and hurriedly rushed forward to greet them with a grin.

"What kind of system it is, a dignified king is too lazy to tie his hair, and I don't know if this is your own idea, or if your palace maids are too lazy." As soon as Lan Ling saw the ponytail behind Li Hong's head, he said angrily.

"Don't blame them, it's the nephew who is too lazy to tie up his hair, not to mention that it's not in the palace now, you can allow Hong'er to be lazy for a few days, and Hong'er can't be lazy for a few days before he should go back to the palace." Li Hong took Lanling's hand and walked inside.

"I see, I should have let you go back to the palace a long time ago, otherwise you will be messed around in Chang'an City by temperament, and if there is no royal etiquette, you will soon become a wild monkey." Chengyang took Li Hong's other hand and counted the landings.

"How can it, Hong'er has always been praised by Mr. when she was studying in the palace." Li Hong said with a giggle.

"Tell me, what did you ghost spirit call the two of us over, it's still mysterious." Lanling asked while holding Li Hong's ponytail.

"Hehe, of course it's a good thing, Hong'er in order to thank the two aunts for their love to Hong'er a few days ago, so today I specially prepared a thin gift for the two aunts, and I hope the two aunts will not dislike it when the time comes." Li Hong led the two to his courtyard.

After entering the house, Lanling and Chengyang were immediately on the case, a few days ago they gave Li Hong the two Linglong Pagoda attracted, Chengyang pointed to the Linglong Pagoda and asked in surprise: "You bastard boy, why haven't you sent it to your father yet?" I don't want to live anymore, you, you are not afraid that your father's anger has not disappeared, and he will ...... you because of this matter. ”

Before Chengyang finished speaking, I saw Li Hong holding two exquisite towers and putting one on each of the two cases, and then bowed deeply to the two of them, and said: "Hong'er is here to thank the two aunts for worrying about Hong'er, and even did not hesitate to take out the treasures that the emperor's grandfather gave you back then to solve the problem for Hong'er, but Hong'er thinks that it is useless, not to mention that these two exquisite towers have a special meaning for you, so Hong'er hopes that the two aunts can take it back, and your mind Hong'er understands it and will always remember it." ”

Lanling and Chengyang were both shocked and asked, "Why?" So how do you explain to your father and your mother? Don't you know the seriousness of this matter? ”

Li Hong smiled slightly, and said: "It is precisely because Hong'er knows that he does not dare to accept the generous gifts of the two aunts." Oh, by the way, Xia Solstice, bring it up, and present the gifts I prepared for the two aunts first. ”

Xia Zhi smiled and walked quickly to the two princesses, and there was an extra small box on the case.

"What is this?" Chengyang asked.

"Auntie will know when she opens it, and after reading it, Hong'er still has something to discuss with the two aunts." Li Hong said mysteriously to Chengyang.
