The sake bottle made by the priest was useless by the doctors of Guanglu Temple.

The two old princes of the royal clan slammed the wine bottle on the emperor's dragon case, and cried: "Your Majesty, Sima traitor has misled the country!" The position of the Shang Gong Bureau is not something that any woman can do.

If you look at the difference in size between these two wine bottles, you can see at a glance how such an inferior thing can be elegant, it is clearly an insult! ”

Emperor Xiao glanced at the two wine bottles in front of him, turned his head slightly, and whispered to Sima Nan who was standing aside: "It's a little too much, I can see it, no wonder these two old uncles, these little braids make people pull and worry." ”

"Your Majesty, do you think that according to the intentions set by Leng Si, such a mistake would be made?" Sima Nan asked in a deep voice.

Emperor Xiao swallowed his saliva, slanted the corners of his mouth, and smiled evilly: "It's hard to say, you two golden husbands and silver women have too many enemies in the palace, not you but also you, unless you find conclusive evidence, you can't avenge yourself." ”

"Since the emperor is already in charge of state affairs himself, he must be the master of the old ministers! Such insults to the ancestors and ancestors must not be indulged any longer, otherwise the ancestors will be at peace and the people will be indignant! ”

The two old princes wept bitterly and sat down to kowtow to the emperor.

Emperor Xiao sighed: "Two imperial uncles, isn't this just handing over the finished product to you for acceptance, and hasn't it been officially used in the ceremony?" Why don't you give it another chance and change it? If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing, right? ”

"The emperor ——, the positions of the palace bureau, but there are capable people living in them, and if you want to list such inferior goods, wouldn't it insult my royal family's reputation?" The old prince was heartbroken.

Emperor Xiao was anxious, when he saw the eunuch Xiaofuzi hurriedly walk in and say a few words in his ear.

Emperor Xiao smiled and waved his hand: "As an official in the same dynasty, there is no need to taboo anything, please set up Leng Si to come in, if there is a misunderstanding, it is a trivial matter, the so-called big things into small things, and small things into no way is the way to prosper the family and country, this is what the two imperial uncles often teach their nephews, and the nephews can remember it." ”

As he spoke, he ordered the little eunuch to pick up the two old princes and help them to sit on a chair.

Calmly holding a delicately carved jewelry box, he walked in with his head down, and stepped forward to greet him.

"Leng Sishe, don't be polite, quickly explain the misunderstanding to the two old princes, this is your negligence, you have to be punished, do you know that you must be punished?" Emperor Xiao smiled.

"Yes, the emperor, calm has already brought the other two wine bottles together, please ask the emperor and the prince to take a look." Calmly handed over the jewelry box in his hand.

Xiaofuzi took it and handed it over to Emperor Xiao.

Emperor Xiao compared it with the jewelry box that had just been put on the dragon case by the two princes, nodded and smiled: "Good craftsmanship, although the wine bottle is not very perfect, but this box is exactly the same, this box is more difficult to make than the wine bottle." ”

"Your Majesty, this is a slave's mistake, the box is exactly the same, and it is difficult for the female historians to distinguish it, so it is a dereliction of duty for the slave to make such a mistake and make the prince laugh."

said calmly and indifferently.

Emperor Xiao grinned, turned the two jewelry boxes on the table casually a few times, and beckoned the two old princes to come forward to identify, whether they could recognize which jewelry box they had just brought over.

The two old princes held the two jewelry boxes in their hands and looked at them for a long time, shook their heads and accepted defeat, saying that they didn't recognize which one they brought over.

Emperor Xiao clapped his hands and said: "This is over, the box with such a complicated and cumbersome process can still be exactly the same, not to mention the wine bottle that does not have many tricks in it?" ”

"Yes, Leng Sishe, this is strange, the two wine bottles we brought are indeed inferior, and the ones you just brought are exquisite and exquisite, without a trace of flaws, are you looking down on us old goods, and deliberately fooling us with inferior things?" The old prince compared the four wine bottles on the dragon case, and said with a displeased face.

"Lord, the slave maid didn't dare to fool the prince, the problem was in the material of this wine bottle, it was the slave and the maid who looked away, took two pieces of pineapple wood material of the same size and shape in the warehouse, and began to make this wine bottle.

But one important thing was forgotten, one of the two pineapple trees was old and had lost all its moisture, while the other was a new piece that had just been shipped back, and the wood had enough water.

The slave and maid were so busy carving the mold that they didn't care about this most important thing, so when the bottle was made, although it was exactly the same, it was painted with gold, and when it entered the oven, the new wood lost its moisture, and the shape shrank a lot. ”

Calmly said slowly with a sad face.

The two old princes nodded when they heard this, and after listening to her, one of them twisted his beard and sighed: "Leng Sishou, you are still young, and it is not too long to work in the Si Si Si, it is not easy to learn from your own failures and remedy them in time."

It's just that the old man despises you, so he slandered you in front of the emperor, and please Leng Si set up an adult, don't be surprised. ”

"The prince has strict requirements for the division and is the blessing of the slaves and maids, with such strict supervision by the master, I think the slaves and maids will become more and more exquisite in their craftsmanship in the future." Calm down.

The two old princes said a few more kind words, picked up two satisfactory wine bottles, put them in a box and took them.

Sima Nan sent them out, turned back, and sighed calmly: "Is it that there have been too many things recently, and my mind is very chaotic, so I made such a mistake?" You wouldn't have been so careless. ”

Calm didn't speak, then he heard Emperor Xiao laugh and said: "How could Leng Si Shi make such a mistake, the weight of wet wood and dry wood is very different, and you can weigh it out as soon as you hold it in your hand.

She has been making woodwork for many years, and if she doesn't even know this, what else is she doing? ”

Sima Nan's eyes flashed: "Someone framed you?" ”

"There are many women in places like Shanggong Bureau, and where there are many women, there will be many disputes, but calm and so smart, you should be able to deal with it."

Emperor Xiao smiled lazily.

"If you go back to the emperor, the slave and maid are still clever, but they are always inferior to the emperor, and the emperor is a hundred times stronger than some people who only know how to question slaves and maids." Calm down.

Emperor Xiao leaned forward, and the corner of his mouth showed an evil smile: "Then do you like me?" Compared to the wood around me, I can be regarded as the person who understands the most feminine style. ”

"Who is trying to harm you?" Sima Nan interjected.

"Don't worry about the general, the slave will solve it by herself." Calm down.

"Yes, General, do you want a man to use the sword in your hand to reason with a weak woman?" Emperor Xiao smiled.

"Can't you just allow this to happen again and again?" Sima Nan asked.

Emperor Xiao yawned: "They are in the harem, they have nothing to do, they are lonely for a long time, they don't fight for their spirits, they fight for face, how can they survive day after day?" This doesn't happen every day. ”

Sima Nan's hand holding the sword was bruised, and his face was a little desolate.

"Thank you for the emperor's size, the slave and maid will leave." Calmly saluted.

Emperor Xiao waved her away.

"Your Majesty, do you know the ins and outs of this matter at all?" Sima Nan looked at the calm back and asked a little unwillingly.

Emperor Xiao shook his head: "You are a fan of the authorities, your heart and eyes have been fascinated by calmness, as long as what happens to her, you have completely lost your ability to analyze."

Besides, I told you a long time ago that I know women better than you do, and I understand their psychology better.

For example, the new Shanggong who has just ascended to the throne, that woman is also a character, do you know what she did?

She even threatened my mother with my mother's secret, not only asking her to kill the one who was recuperating in the Renshou Palace, but also to help her ascend to the throne. ”

Sima Nan's pupils contracted, and he snorted: "It's a pity that this Shang Gong is not a man, otherwise he must be a hero, and if he can be used by us, he will definitely be able to be regarded as a number one person." ”

"This person must always be above board and upright, in order to live comfortably, like my mother and me, it is really sad to live in misery and panic all my life."

Emperor Xiao leaned on the dragon chair and sighed.

On the steps at the entrance of the Shanggong Bureau, Kong Lingci walked back calmly from a distance, and then patted his chest, exhaled, and stepped forward.

"How? Can you hide it? They didn't embarrass you, did they? Kong Lingci took a calm hand and asked eagerly.

"Thanks to your resourcefulness, if it weren't for your help, it wouldn't have gone so well." Smiled calmly.

"You can flatter people, if you don't think of using our daily drinking glass to paint and then paint flowers, and fool the past first, even if I can paint again, it won't help." Kong Lingci said with a smile.

"Actually, this time, I want to thank Ruan Meiling, if she hadn't been well-informed, she would have heard about the old pedantic people in Guanglu Temple who had picked out the wine bottle yesterday evening, and we wouldn't have had time to prepare." Calm down.

Kong Lingci frowned, and lowered her voice: "Speaking of this, I'm strange, as far as I know, Ruan Meiling doesn't know more people outside the Shanggong than me, how did she get this news?" ”

"I understand what you mean, no matter how she knows, this time, I always have to thank her." Calm down.

Kong Lingci rolled his eyes slightly: "Then you say, which one of the bad-hearted people soaked one of the wine bottles in water?" If it is not soaked in water, how can it cause the two to be different in size?

When you first took it out of the oven, you measured it together with a ruler, and it was obviously the same size and the same weight. ”

"Without seeing with your own eyes, without evidence, what can you do with speculation? Just be careful later. Calmly said.

The two walked into the Si Shi room while talking, and just sat down calmly, before they finished a sip of tea, they saw Ruan Meiling panting and running in, and said loudly:

"Oh no, I went to the front to deliver something just now, and I heard them say that Concubine Ying wants to have a miscarriage! The imperial doctors of the whole imperial hospital have gone to the Zhuguang Pavilion, and it seems that it is really bad. ”

Kong Lingci glanced at her: "What does the matter of the ladies have to do with us, is it possible that you want to go to the catering department?" It's possible that they'll have to keep busy. ”

"If you don't do our business, I naturally won't be so flustered, I have heard that Concubine Ying's mother is because she used the smoker sent by Master Si to smoke incense, so she feels bad." Ruan Meiling said again.

"What?! Do we make smokers? When did we make a smoker for Concubine Ying? What nonsense are you talking about! Kong Lingci stood up suddenly, pointed at her and said angrily.
