When Zhao Chen arrived at the palace, it was completely dark.
The maid quickly informed the emperor and empress.
If he doesn't come back, the Queen will send someone to look for him.
"Zhao Chen has met Your Majesty, the Queen..."
"There are no outsiders, so there is no need to be so unfamiliar."
"You two, please sit down, this dish is already cold." Empress Changsun and Zhao Chen waved their hands, indicating that they should sit down.
Li Ke sat down obediently.
He did not dare to speak too much in front of the emperor, otherwise he would be beaten, which would be embarrassing.
"I heard that His Majesty prepared a treasure for Zhao Chen. Where is the treasure?" As soon as Zhao Chen sat down, he asked Li Shimin about the treasure.
But the emperor was immediately confused.
Empress Changsun and Li Ke were also stunned for a while, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
How can anyone ask the emperor for treasures as soon as he comes up?
Is this a joke?
Lao Li also looked at Zhao Chen. He wanted to reach out his hand and touch Zhao Chen's head to see if he had a fever.
Otherwise, you would start talking nonsense.
"This...here it is for you!" Li Shimin was a little reluctant and hesitantly handed a pair of colored glasses to Zhao Chen.
"This was obtained by overseas merchants from across the ocean thousands of miles away, and the prince gave it to me."
"I have been choosing for a long time before choosing the best pair for you!" Li Shimin and Zhao Chen said.
Zhao Chen didn't believe what Old Li Tou said.
I am afraid that Lao Li Tou chose the worst pair for himself after careful selection.
Also, a pair of broken glass products should be regarded as treasures?
"Since it's a treasure, you should keep it for yourself." Zhao Chen didn't want to go home with a pair of glasses.
What a shame.
This kind of thing can be burned casually, not just grab a lot.
It is not as high-tech as burning cement.
"You don't want it?" The emperor was a little surprised.
I thought about it for a long time before giving Zhao Chen these two treasures.
Although it is not the best of the pair of glasses, it is not the worst either.
If it weren't for Zhao Chen's hard work these days, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
Who would have thought that Zhao Chen just glanced at him, with a hint of ridicule on the corner of his mouth.
What do you mean, you don’t look down on your own pair of treasures?
Li Ke also looked at Zhao Chen blankly.
I just saw that the emperor was going to give such beautiful colored glaze to Zhao Chen, but Li Ke was so envious of him.
This is Liuli.
These things cannot be seen at all in the Tang Dynasty.
Even rarer than the Pearl of the Night.
He, Li Ke, was the king of Shu, but he didn't have any glass products.
But the emperor gave it to Zhao Chen.
At that time, Li Ke was envious and jealous.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen didn’t want it at that time.
"It's not a good thing. It takes up space at home." Zhao Chen waved his hand.
"Isn't it a good thing?" Lao Litou's voice rose several times.
This man also stood up and stared at Zhao Chen.
Isn't this a joke?
I kindly found this boy a pair of colored glasses, but he actually said they were not good things.
Then Zhao Chen, please tell me what good things are.
In just such a moment, the emperor was filled with anger.
"I basically spent fifty guan on each of these colored glazes. Are you telling me that they are not good things?"
"Then tell me, what are good things?" Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen with a somewhat unkind expression.
Zhao Chen is doubting his own taste.
How can this happen?
Zhao Chen actually didn't look down on something that the emperor regarded as a treasure?
"Just this broken glass, a fifty-string piece. Old Litou, you are very rich." Zhao Chen played with a glass product that was handed over and said with a smile.
"Li Ke, do you like it?" Zhao Chen handed the glass product in his hand to Li Ke who was standing aside.
Where would Li Ke dare to take it?
No matter how much he likes it, this is what the emperor gave to Zhao Chen.
How could Li Ke accept it?
"Boy, what do you mean?" Li Shimin frowned. He felt that Zhao Chen was mocking him.
How could he give his own gifts to others in front of himself, the emperor?
"Why are you angry? This is only fifty strings, right?"
"Since Your Majesty is so rich and likes this glass so much, you might as well come to me to buy it."
"I'll charge you half the price. I can get it for you in terms of color, shape, whatever you want." Zhao Chen looked at Li Shimin as if he was a fool.
The emperor felt that he had been insulted.
But Lao Li Tou also heard that Zhao Chen said he could make this kind of colored glaze.
And they only charged him half the price.
Li Shimin hesitated.
He couldn't figure out whether Zhao Chen was deceiving him.
"Zhao Chen, you said you can bake this colored glaze?"
"Real or false?" Empress Changsun asked the emperor's thoughts.
Li Ke also looked at Zhao Chen, his face full of curiosity.
Zhao Chen could actually bake the colored glaze that he had been thinking about so much?
Wasn't this shipped from overseas thousands of miles away?
How could Zhao Chen know this?
"Yes, Your Majesty, do you want to buy it?" Zhao Chen nodded.
It's just firing glass, it doesn't require any special skills.
Seeing Zhao Chen nodding, Li Shimin hesitated even more.
Every time Zhao Chen said this, Li Shimin would be fooled.
If he nodded, and if Zhao Chen really fired it, wouldn't he have to pay back the 50,000 guan he just received before he even covered it?
How does this work?
But if he didn't nod, who would know that Zhao Chen...
"Zhao Chen, colored glaze is very rare in the Tang Dynasty. If you can make some, you can definitely make a lot of money."
"I just heard you say that it can have different shapes and colors. Is it possible to bake a glass that looks like me?" Queen Changsun and Zhao Chen said softly.
"Okay!" Zhao Chen nodded, looked at the emperor again, and asked: "Do you want to buy it or not? If so, I will bake another one for you?"
Li Shimin felt that he was a complete joke in Zhao Chen's heart.
This guy actually knows how to make colored glaze.
I still regard this glass as my treasure.
Isn’t this meant to make people laugh to death?
"How much?" The emperor was silent for a moment and said something very ungraceful.
The emperor, shouldn't he wave his hand and say I want them all?
Which emperor would be like him and still consider the price?
The corners of Li Ke's mouth twitched twice.
He felt more and more that his father no longer looked like an emperor at all.
Instead, it looks more like a street vendor haggling in the market.
Li Shimin also wanted to make a big move, but didn’t he have money?
Otherwise, he was so cowardly?
The most important thing is that he is afraid that he will be tricked by Zhao Chen again.
…
The emperor's dinner was very unpleasant.
I wanted to express my importance to Zhao Chen in front of him.
As a result, the pair of colored glasses that he regarded as treasures were trash in Zhao Chen's eyes.
Li Shimin was so angry that he took the pair of colored glasses to the Prince's Mansion late at night.
The emperor felt it was necessary and returned these things to Li Chengqian.
Otherwise, this kid would think that he had inherited a lot of love from him.
"Your Majesty, you..." The eunuch in the East Palace was startled when he saw the emperor appear.
The emperor has not been to the East Palace for a long time.
And it’s this hour.
"Prince rested?" Li Shimin asked casually.
"Not yet. He must be studying. I will go and inform His Majesty..."
"No need, I'll go over and take a look." Li Shimin stopped the eunuch and said with a smile.
It was already midnight, and the prince was still studying.
