"Why don't you be transferred to the Foundry Bureau, what do you think?" The fourth prince asked casually.

"Not good!" Li Jingshan was startled and blurted out. Seeing that the fourth prince frowned, he was shocked to realize that he had lost his manners, so he hurriedly got up and saluted, and solemnly responded: "Fourth Highness Mingjian, I am a craftsman recruited by the Sizhen Bureau, if I have been in the palace for less than a year, but I have joined the master's family on an errand, how will the old and new owners think of me." ”

Seeing that the fourth prince pursed his lips in disapproval, Li Jingshan said again, "Moreover, the humble position has just been inherited from Master Yue and has taken over the design of exchanging national gifts with the Heathrow Kingdom. It is even more impossible to leave the Bureau of Treasures. Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness. ”

"What are you doing with the national gift of Narausch?" The fourth prince said in disgust, "Thankless work, shouldn't it be the one who bullied you in the Sizhen Bureau with shallow qualifications and weak foundation, and was hard-apportioned to you?" Catch Ming'er, the king, and resign you. ”

"Fourth Highness, the design of the national ceremony is of my own volition, and no one is persecuted."

The fourth prince looked at her suspiciously, "You mean really? Did you know that the national rite is the highest standard of ritual vessels? One is not good, if it is done well, it will be able to last for a hundred years, and if one is not careful, it is easier to incur the disaster of death. And,"

He couldn't help but pout, "You took over the work of this national gift, where do you have the energy and time to improve weapons - not to mention that you can do both, unless you have three heads and six arms." If something goes wrong on the side of the national ceremony, even I can't protect you. ”

Li Jingshan hesitated for a long time and asked in a low voice, "What about that...... Can the matter of armament improvement be postponed for a while? ”

As soon as these words came out, even Li Jingjue covered her eyes with her hands.

The fourth prince laughed, "You have to ask, are those barbarian foreign enemies willing to wait for you to delay." He put away his laughter and replied in a cold voice, "Lone gives you two days to think about it." Whether it's a national gift or a weapon improvement, you can only choose one. ”

He tapped the porcelain plate with a silver chopstick, and his voice was clear, like an alarm bell, "Li Jingshan, you must know that you can't have both fish and bear's paws." ”

Li Jingshan pursed her lips, was silent for a moment, and answered softly, "Thank you for your highness's teachings." ”

The fourth prince tugged at the corners of his mouth, shook his robe and got up, "I hope that in two days, you will give me a satisfactory answer." ”

Everyone hurriedly got up and followed him out of Cuixiang Building.

The four princes stood still at the door of the backyard and looked at Chu Tiankuo. General Chu understood, hugged his fists and said, "The last general will go and pull the carriage over." Before leaving, he also pulled Li Jingjue. Li Jingjue sighed, and hurriedly confessed and went to drive the carriage.

The fourth prince picked up the good-looking peach blossom eyes, and looked at Li Jingshan with a smile, "Even I can see Ming Hao's thoughts, are you pretending to be stupid, or do you really not know?" ”

Li Jingshan's heart jumped, and she forced herself to calm down: "The folk girl doesn't know what His Highness means. ”

The fourth prince snorted, and turned his gaze to the direction where Chu Tiankuo left, "This brother of mine is a solid-eyed person, since you are married and have no meaning for him, it is better to provoke him less." ”

He looked at his car from a distance, deliberately approaching Li Jingshan's ear, with an intimate posture, but his tone was cold, "This king is still the same sentence, fish and bear's paw, you can't have both." ”

Li Jingshan stiffened her back and replied quietly: "The folk girl understands. I don't have any thoughts on it, please rest assured, Your Highness. ”

The fourth prince chuckled, raised his head, and faced Chu Tiankuo's deep ink-like eyes, and said loudly, "Then the king will rest assured." He turned around and got into the carriage, and beckoned Chu Tiankuo to say, "Minghao, come in too." ”

Chu Tiankuo responded, didn't even say goodbye to Li Jingshan, turned around and got into the carriage without squinting. The coachman flicked his whip and the carriage drove away.

The fourth prince looked at Chu Tiankuo, who was sitting like a wooden man after coming in, and said with a smile, "What, are you afraid that I will bully your sweetheart?" ”

"The last general will not dare to ......"

Chu Tiankuo responded, and felt that it was inappropriate, didn't he admit that his sweetheart was Li Jingshan, and hurriedly changed his words, "Li Niangzi is not my sweetheart......" Shut up suddenly, only to feel that the more he described, the darker he became, and his face turned red.

The fourth prince laughed, "When I met her, I couldn't even say it well, and I said no." After laughing, Zhengse said, "Minghao, she is not your beloved, so you don't have to waste your thoughts on her." ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands." Chu Tiankuo replied in a sloppy voice, and hurriedly clarified, "I don't have any personal relationship with Li Niangzi, please don't misunderstand Your Highness." ”

The fourth prince hated that iron could not be steel, shook his head and smiled, "That's it, when I go to Western Xinjiang in the future, I will help you find a good one." I said, you're not going to hang yourself from a tree, are you? ”

Chu Tiankuo couldn't care about the jokes of the four princes, and asked in a deep voice, "The Holy Lord really plans to let you release the king?" ”

The fourth prince smiled, as if he had put on a mask in an instant, and nodded heavily, "The left and right princes can't allow Gu to continue to stay in the capital, why don't you go out as soon as possible, the mountains are high and the sea is wide, and everyone has to be happy." ”

Chu Tiankuo was silent for a moment, "Then you don't necessarily have to go so far to the Western Frontier. It is not impossible for you to invite yourself out of Beijing and ask the Holy Lord for a rich place. ”

The fourth prince blinked his eyes and said with a half-truth, half-truth, half-smirk, "I'm afraid that other places are not safe, only you will protect me wholeheartedly." ”

Chu Tiankuo's throat moved, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't argue, so he had to hold his fists and say, "Your Highness, rest assured, at the end of the Western Frontier, you will dare to promise that you will never hurt a cold hair." ”

The fourth prince put his arm around Chu Tiankuo's shoulders and laughed, "Ming Hao, you're the only one who is so dead-eyed." ”

Chu Tiankuo, who was dead-eyed, suddenly asked, "Your Highness, in this capital, have you really let go?" ”

The laughter of the fourth prince seemed to be cut off by an invisible hand, and he fell silent, and smiled self-deprecatingly for a while, "Don't be too greedy to be a man, and the same is true for this king." You can't have both. ”

-

Li Jingshan stood under the porch, watching the carriage of the four princes slowly walk away, until Li Jingjue came to greet her, and then turned around and got into the carriage.

"Sister, what else do you have to think about?" Li Jingjue was very dissatisfied with today's meeting, "Do you still need to consider such a thing?" You've also heard that although designing a national gift is a royal mission, it sounds good. But hasn't our family been hurt enough by the emperor? Could it be ......"

He paused and said in surprise, "You wouldn't be, really to engrave your name on that national ceremony, right?" ”

"It's not important to be famous," Li Jingshan shook her head quietly, "It's not just a matter of preference. I, I always have my reasons. Yue Zangfeng's trembling fingertips flashed in her mind again.

Li Jingjue heard it in a fog, put her hands behind her head and leaned against the wall of the car, and sighed, "Alas, I really don't understand you people who are engaged in art. Then you think about it. ”

Li Jingshan looked at the heavy lights outside the car window and fell into deep thought.

Back at Tonghua Lane, Ruan Mingyu sat in the courtyard and cooked tea. Seeing her come in, he looked up and smiled, and the smile stained by the moonlight was reassuring.

"I can't help you." Ruan Mingyu listened to Li Jingshan's confession, raised his hand and poured her a cup of tea, "You actually have a decision in your heart, but you can't pass the righteous word in front of you." ”

Li Jingshan let out a long sigh, Ruan Mingyu really understood her.

The improvement of armaments and weapons is to repay the righteousness of Chu Tiankuo's friends; The acceptance of the national gift design is to repay Yue Zangfeng's kindness. You can't have both. No wonder the Four Princes repeatedly admonished her.

She picked up the cup of tea in front of her and drank it down.

Ruan Mingyu poured her another cup of tea, "If the two are inseparable, you can change the perspective: in which case, your role is more indispensable." If you quit another errand, you can find someone else to make up for it. ”

Li Jingshan weighed it in her heart, but she could only sigh, and finally said, "Then I will resign from this mission with the four princes tomorrow." ”

Ruan Mingyu didn't speak, only put his arm around her shoulders comfortingly, and took her back to the room.

Early the next morning, Li Jingshan was about to go to Li Jingjue to explain her decision, but when she opened the door, she saw Meng Shu standing in the courtyard, holding a food box in her hand.

"I'll ask people to send some of the walnut crisp and eight-treasure boxes that have been set in Linxian Ju to make breakfast for you." Meng Shu handed over the food box.

Li Jingshan hurriedly took it, "Why is it so grand early in the morning?" Li Jingshan glanced at Li Jingjue's room and said with a smile, "Could it be that I am stained with that kid's light again?" ”

When Li Jingjue was studying in Guozijian, she was still a half-grown teenager, and when she came to Tianqiaotang to look for her sisters, she always had the preference of their older brothers and sisters, and they were entertained with delicious food and drink. provoked Li Jingshan to laugh and sigh that her brother's treatment was better than herself.

Meng Shu smiled faintly and said along the way: "No." This time it's dedicated to honoring you. ”

Li Jingshan looked at a piece of walnut cake and raised her eyebrows, "Well, what's the matter?" can be worthy of the Eight Treasure Box of Linxian Residence, this matter must be not small. ”

"I'd like to ask you to introduce me to the improvement of armaments."

Li Jingshan was putting the walnut crisp into her mouth, and she heard the words and gave her a meal.

"I'll tell you the truth, since that day at the banquet for Ah Jue, I have been paying more attention to you when I heard you talk about it." Meng Shu's face was always light and light, but there was a bit of blazing in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I also heard what you said about you and Shopkeeper Ruan in the courtyard last night." ”

She looked at Li Jingshan fixedly, and pleaded a little more: "Ah Shan, since you are going to resign from this mission, can you introduce it to me?" I am not below you in the art of metal refining. ”

Li Jingshan and Meng Shu have studied art and worked together for many years, how could they not know. Changzhou, where Meng Shu was born, is the capital of the state, which is famous for forging and smelting, and she has practiced the craft of tired silk since she was a child, and she must be proficient in forging gold and silver threads of different sizes. Compared with Li Jingshan, the skill of metal forging is only stronger than weak.

And at the reception banquet that day, her casual comments on Li Zhiyuan's case cut straight to the key point of metal mixing and smelting, which also shows her attainments in this area. It's just that it's not just about craftsmanship.

Li Jingshan put down the walnut cake and said, "It's not that I don't want to." But you also heard it that day, even Ah Yu didn't approve of me taking over, this kind of thing that doesn't know the blessings and misfortunes, I ...... I don't know if it will hurt you. ”

Meng Shu has gone from Tianqiao Hall to Jingbao Pavilion over the years, and her arrogance has been reduced a lot. Only in front of Li Jingshan can she show her arrogance. She snorted lightly, "You Li Jingshan dare to take the job, do you think I will be afraid?" ”、

One sentence blocked Li Jingshan's reasons. She sighed and asked, "Why are you so obsessed with this weapon improvement?" ”
