However, Sun Dong didn't look at Liu Hua, as if he was still just that stranger, but turned to Xiang Nan and arched his hand: "Master Xiang doesn't have to be busy. King Rui wants to see you, and I will take you there. ”

"His Royal Highness?"

"Not bad. The Queen Mother died suddenly, and the palace was going to do white things, and it is estimated that there will be no need for Master Xiang's works. Sun Dong said: "Maybe His Royal Highness King Rui let you out of the palace." ”

That's it?Ding Rong asked in a low voice, "So, what about him?"

Sun Dong glanced at Liu Hua at this time, and said uninterestedly: "A mouse." Don't alarm the holy driver. ”

Since Sun Dong didn't even bother to deal with Liu Hua, Ding Rong felt that he was worried in vain, and it would be over if he went out of the palace and took this mouse away. He writes whatever he likes, and she won't buy it anyway.

Sun Dong led the way and led the group to the south to the imperial study.

Far away, across the wide staircase in front of the hall, Ye Zhi suddenly saw the emperor hurrying towards the council hall with a team of people. This distance was difficult for Ye Zhi, who had been practicing for more than ten years, and he saw a detail that surprised him.

After walking a few steps, he approached Sun Dong and asked, "Sect Leader Sun, I just saw the emperor walk over there." ”

"Maybe I'm going to discuss the funeral arrangements of the Queen Mother with the Ministry of Rites......

"The emperor seems to be injured on his forehead?" Ye Zhi tempted.

Sun Dong nodded: "Yes." Listening to what the Imperial Forest Sergeant who was on guard said in so many years, it was the first time he saw the emperor injured, except for the small forehead injury that he somehow got out last night, General An Guo didn't know what to say to the emperor today, Long Yan was furious, and his hand was injured on the railing again. ”

Ye Zhi frowned. How could this be? It is impossible to be injured externally!

"Probably the queen mother died, and the emperor was sad and painful, so he needed to vent his emotions. Sun Dong said with a sigh and urged: "Let's hurry up, we can't let His Royal Highness King Rui wait for a long time." ”

After the report, Sun Dong walked into the imperial study with a few people.

King Rui was sitting at the dragon table, correcting the folds. Although he did not sit on the dragon chair, but moved a stool to sit on, he lowered his head and wrote a red comment on the fold, and a little eunuch was grinding Dan Zhumo next to him, at first glance, he thought that the emperor was sitting on it.

Sun Dong went up and saluted: "His Royal Highness King Rui, I brought the person you want to see." ”

"Wait, I'm done with this. King Rui didn't raise his head and continued to write.

To the south, they could only bow their heads respectfully and wait. Only Ye Zhi glanced at the man sitting above, and couldn't stop being surprised. He thought for a moment, tugged south, and whispered. Although Xiang Nan was puzzled, he also nodded.

After a while, King Rui finished correcting the excerpt, and then looked at Sun Dong and the five people she brought, and he was not very interested in this kind of toy-making artist, and said lightly: "The emperor instructed me that Master Xiang's military plate can not be done, and you can leave the palace." In order to thank you for your hard work, the master was rewarded with 100 taels of gold, and the four disciples were rewarded with 100 taels of silver each. ”

"Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty King Xie Rui. And they all bowed down.

Bai Yuelan found that Liu Hua's head was particularly low. That's right, when he participated in the palace examination before, he once took the opportunity to sarcastically mock the emperor, and was blasted out by the young King Rui who was present at the time, and he was afraid that King Rui would recognize him.

At this time, Xiang Nan suddenly pleaded loudly: "His Royal Highness King Rui, the emperor treats low-status craftsmen like us with kindness and leniency, and has no intention of repaying him." I will make a kind of everlasting lamp with my own oil, and I hope to make nine lamps to dedicate to the Queen Mother's wake this month. ”

King Rui thought for a while and said, "Master Xiang, in addition to this everlasting lamp, there is an object, do you think there is a way?"

"Your Highness, please speak. ”

"My Dajin Kingdom is located in the south, and now it is summer, and it is difficult for the queen mother's noble body to be preserved for so long......," Rui Wang said slowly.

Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "Although you can use an ice coffin, the ice also melts quickly, and it is not appropriate to move your body and change the ice coffin often...... I have a way to make an ice jade coffin that can keep your body for months. ”

"Ice jade coffin, do you want to use any rare materials?" this time ......" King Rui was a little embarrassed.

"No, you don't. Ordinary jade side, ice cube six sides, nanmu side, can be. Xiang Nan replied confidently.

"How long does that take?"

"If we don't stop working, I'll be five people a day and night. Available tomorrow. ”

"That's all for you. Ruiwang stood up and saluted everyone.

Xiang Nan asked, "Where's the ever-bright lantern?"

"There are palace people who keep vigil, and the ever-bright light can be a little late. King Rui said, "I heard that you have been living in the training center, so let's continue to live." The materials you need can be said to Han Gonggong of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I will ask him to support him. ”

Xiang Nan nodded in thanks, and accompanied by Sun Dong, he walked out of the imperial study with four "apprentices".

As soon as he returned to the small courtyard of the guest house, Sun Dong left.

As soon as Bai Yuelan saw her leave, she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't we going back?" Why do you say that you want to make lamps and take over the big job of making ice coffins?"

"We can earn some more gold. Shizun is about to celebrate his 80th birthday, and I have to give him some good gifts, after all, accept me as a closed disciple......" Xiang Nan said nonsense without blushing or panting.

"Eighty?" "Where is Master Sima Wenkang so old?" Bai Yuelan suddenly understood that Xiang Nan's concealment was from Liu Hua, and quickly changed her tone: "Actually, his old man prefers the exquisite mechanism you make, why do you need to use the ...... you bought?"

Turning to Liu Hua to the south, he said, "Young Master Liu, please prepare a pen and paper and a ruler, and we will go to the drawing later." ”

Liu Hua nodded, as soon as he left, Bai Yuelan's questioning gaze swept over, and Xiang Nan hurriedly whispered, "It's not me, the second senior brother asked for it!"

Ye Zhi glanced at Liu Hua's busy figure in the distance, and made sure that he couldn't hear it, so he said, "We won't leave for the time being." ”

"Huh?" At this moment, Ding Rong, Xiang Nan and Bai Yuelan were all surprised.

"We must stay, for the sake of King Rui. ”

"For him, why?" Bai Yuelan didn't understand.

Ding Rong was stunned for a second, and said in his heart: "Is it ......?"

"Not bad. Ye Zhi nodded.

Xiang Nan and Bai Yuelan were puzzled: "What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing?"

At this time, a middle-aged eunuch outside the door walked in and arched his hand: "Which one is Master Xiang?" His Royal Highness King Rui instructed me to obey Master Xiang's dispatch, and if I need anything, just tell the villain." The villain's name is Han Li, and he is the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

Xiang Nan arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

Seeing that they didn't understand yet, Ye Zhi asked, "Gonggong Han, I want to ask you something." ”

"Speak. ”

"What is the name of His Royal Highness King Rui?"

Gonggong Han arched his hand and said, "His Royal Highness King Rui, his name is Jinping Road." ”
