0401 Encounter at the Royal Palace
After thinking about the mirror for a while, Emperor Yongan quickly remembered the matter again and rewarded Liu Fang and Liu Feng.
After Wu Da, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, heard about it, he had to secretly sigh and secretly scolded Liu Fang, a gelding who was full of bad water, and was too much of a thing.
Then he hurried to the Armory Bureau to check the progress of the clairvoyant.
It's a pity that it's a step slower, although the Ordnance Bureau has successfully suppressed the lenses, it will take a lot of time to polish, where can I catch up?
What's more, Emperor Yong'an has seen enough of Liu Fang's clairvoyance, and he doesn't dare to cut corners.
If the clairvoyance made by the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry is not as good as that made by the Military War Bureau of the Inner Court, he is afraid that the secretary of the Ministry of Industry will come to an end.
Because he was busy with clairvoyance, Wu Da didn't care much about the mirrors that have been talked about in the capital recently.
On the contrary, it is Emperor Yong'an, after seeing the lenses made of glass, he is now more and more interested in glass.
Naturally, I paid more and more attention to the mirror.
Finally, after five days of verbal battles between "Beijing Daily" and "Beijing Gossip", Chu Yan and Su Jinli finally entered the palace with gifts.
This time, they went in to give gifts to Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhang.
The gift came in two large boxes, full of mirrors of all kinds.
The two also divided their work.
Su Jinli was responsible for giving gifts to Empress Zhang, and Chu Yan was responsible for giving gifts to Emperor Yong'an.
After the two entered the palace with the box, the news quickly spread in the palace.
These days, because of the war between "Beijing Daily" and "Beijing Gossip", the mirror has always maintained the first heat.
Many people are watching and discussing, looking forward to the mirror made of silver and glass as soon as possible, so that they can see and understand.
At this time, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the Qin Wangfu and Liulifang.
King Qin suddenly took the princess into the palace, and also brought two big boxes, such an obvious move, what else is there to guess?
What's more, there is also the big mouth of King Chu Xuan of Jin to help promote!
Although Chu Xuan is handsome, he has always been a thick-skinned person, as soon as he heard that Chu Yan had brought Su Jinli into the palace, he couldn't wait to pull Cui Yanran, the princess of Jin, into the palace, wanting to get close to the water and get the moon first.
So not long after Su Jinli came to the Qifeng Palace where Empress Zhang lived with the box, she heard someone outside, saying that it was Princess Cui Yanran of Jin who asked to see her.
Su Jinli raised her eyebrows in surprise and glanced at the door quietly.
Speaking of which, she and Princess Cui Yanran of Jin haven't seen each other for a long time.
The last time we met, it was during the palace banquet.
Further back, it was the time when Cui Yanran held a plum banquet in the Jin Palace. Cui Yanran invited her to the banquet, and took the initiative to make friends and offered to buy the chili peppers in her hand.
She thought that Chu Yan and Chu Xuan, two brothers, had a good relationship, and had no intention of being enemies with Cui Yanran, so she sold some to her.
I don't know how Cui Yanran's peppers are grown.
Anyway, all her pepper seeds have been successfully raised, and now they have been transplanted to the farm.
Afraid that something would happen to these pepper seedlings, she also deliberately found someone to watch at them, and ordered everyone not to damage the pepper seedlings.
Before she entered the palace this time, Cinnabar told her that the seedlings in the field were growing very well.
These pepper seedlings are too important, but they must not be fine.
In an instant, Su Jinli had already turned countless thoughts.
Now I'm waiting for Cui Yanran to come in.
Empress Zhang quickly let people rumor that Cui Yanran came in.
So it didn't take long for Cui Yanran to come.
She didn't come empty-handed, either, and brought a slender box.
Look at the shape, it looks like a scroll.
Su Jinli immediately remembered Cui Yanran's specialty - this princess of Jin is good at painting!
At the last palace banquet, she was targeted by the crown princess and deliberately drew a sketch of the crown princess.
Cui Yanran is good at painting, and after seeing the light and shadow in the sketches, she is estimated to have been inspired.
This time, she came to send a painting to Empress Zhang, and she must be very confident in her painting skills.
Otherwise, I don't dare to give gifts.
So, what is she painting this time?
Su Jinli couldn't help but be a little curious.
Cui Yanran saw Su Jinli as soon as she came in, but she obviously learned the rules very well, and after she came in, she didn't squint, but she was a little more restrained, not as calm as Su Jinli.
Su Jinli saw it in her eyes and couldn't help but shake her head secretly.
Cui Yanran was also too nervous, it seemed that the medicine had a great impact on her.
She has been busy these days, and she doesn't know how Cui Yanran is living.
However, she and Cui Yanran don't have a deep friendship after all.
The thought just swirled in her head, and she let her go.
Individuals have their own ways, and with Cui Yanran's temperament, if she has too close contact with Cui Yanran, I am afraid that Cui Yanran will be uncomfortable.
Cui Yanran saluted respectfully, making it impossible to find the slightest mistake.
Empress Zhang smiled mildly on her face, and quickly gave her a seat: "Sit down, Bao'er brought a lot of mirrors today, you can take a look later, if you like it, pick a few." ”
Cui Yanran greeted Su Jinli again, then sat quietly on the chair and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reward from the queen mother." ”
Then she looked at Su Jinli and continued: "The prince has been talking about the mirror a lot recently, and the second sister-in-law is still capable, but after a few days of hard work, she made the mirror and brought it into the palace to honor her mother." If he can bring the mirror back, the prince will definitely be happy. ”
"It's just mirrors." Su Jinli said casually, and then asked someone to open the box and take out the mirror inside.
I saw that there were several boxes of all sizes in the huge box.
When the box was opened, it was filled with mirrors as bright as silver and water.
The smallest of these mirrors is no bigger than a palm, and the shape of a round cake looks like a box.
However, with a slight press of the mechanism, the lid will open, revealing the mirror inside.
What is surprising is that the box still contains a fine powder, which looks like a makeup powder.
Rao is Cui Yanran has always been restrained, and after seeing this makeup powder, her eyes widened slightly in surprise: "Is this a makeup powder?" ”
"Exactly." Su Jinli smiled and nodded, "This box looks small, but it can hold some rouge gouache in it." ”
After saying that, she put down the small box in her hand and picked up another similar small box.
When it was also opened, it was filled with red rouge, which could be dipped in with your fingertips and rubbed directly on your lips.
Although the mirror in the box is also very small, it is perfect for makeup.
Looking at the other mirrors, there are small mirrors the size of a palm, with an oval shape and a handle.
There are also vanity mirrors that are about the same size as bronze mirrors.
The frames are even more varied, and there are many patterns.
looked at Cui Yanran's heart, and she was amazed again and again.
She looked at Su Jinli in shock, she never thought that she would be able to come up with so many tricks!
