Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 238 A Symbol of Wealth

The envoys who questioned Tuyuhun were sent out.

And just two days after the envoy left, the nine princesses entered the palace again.

As the most strategic among Li Yuan's many princesses, she still felt something was wrong after she went back, so he wanted to go into the palace to chat with her father.

It's just that as soon as Princess Jiu entered the palace, she saw thick smoke coming out of the imperial study room.

This made the ninth princess very strange, so she ran over quickly.

After she passed by, she found that the kang had gone out, and two young eunuchs were lighting the fire, but the flint couldn't hit it no matter what, and the other eunuchs went to other places to borrow kindling, but they haven't come back yet.

The imperial study room was very choking, and Li Yuan stood shivering in the cold wind.

"No more, I want you to go to the harem to serve those unfavorable concubines." Li Yuan cursed, but the more he scolded, the more anxious the two eunuchs became, and the fire became even more out of control.

Seeing this, Princess Jiu suddenly remembered that she still had matches on her body, so she walked over and said, "Father, please ask my son to get some."

Li Yuan frowned: "As a princess, how can you do such things?"

Princess Jiu didn't mind, and said: "As long as it is done for the father, it is not cheap."

As she said that, she walked over, Princess Jiu took out the match, stroked it, and then lit the fire. Li Yuan stood beside her, and couldn't believe her eyes.

His own daughter can spell?

"Xiao Jiu, what did you take just now?" Li Yuan naturally did not believe that his daughter could use spells. He soon discovered that Princess Jiu was holding a small box in her hand.

In front of her father, Princess Nine naturally did not dare to hide anything, and quickly said: "Father, it is a match invented by Qin Tian. It is very convenient to use this to ignite a fire with one stroke."

Princess Jiu handed over the matches, Li Yuan tried to light one, and it was really convenient.

"Okay, good stuff. With this, it's much more convenient to start a fire. This Qin Tian, ​​who invented such a useful thing, didn't offer some to me. Let's see how I deal with him."

Hearing this, Princess Jiu was a little anxious, and said quickly: "Father, Mr. Qin may not have made many. This box was given to me when he was kidnapped that day."

Li Yuan snorted: "Let him bring some to me, or I won't spare him lightly." Then he put the box of matches from Princess Nine into his pocket.

When Princess Jiu saw this, she couldn't laugh or cry, why did her father look like this, and even wanted her own daughter's things?

The heated kang recovered quickly, and Li Yuan and Princess Jiu entered the imperial study. At this time, Princess Jiu expressed some of her questions.

"Father, the battle is not going well, so it's better not to start a dispute."

If she started a war just because she was a woman, Princess Jiu would feel a little uneasy.

However, Li Yuan didn't care about it. The Tang Dynasty had just established a country. Although it was not rich enough, its military force was very strong. In Li Yuan's heart, he still had the desire to expand the territory.

Tuyuhun's position is like a stick in his throat, he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't take it down, so he doesn't care if he fights or not, now there is such an incident, he just wants to test Tuyuhun's attitude.

If Tuyuhun bowed his head to the Tang Dynasty and had a good attitude, let them live a few more years, and then destroy them when the Tang Dynasty is rich, but if they don't know how to praise, then he doesn't mind sending troops to destroy them immediately.

Seeing that her father had such a heart, Princess Jiu knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she had to give up.
-
After the nine princesses left, they went to the Qin Mansion.

When he came to the Qin Mansion, Qin Tian was standing in front of a plum blossom in the yard admiring the blooming plum blossoms.

The scent of plum blossoms is refreshing and refreshing. Looking at the plum blossom, Qin Tian couldn't help but chanted: How can the plum blossoms be so fragrant without going through a bit of cold? What a plum, what a plum.

For plum blossoms, Qin Tian likes them. Flowers that can bloom in severe cold must be tough, which is by no means comparable to other flowers. Therefore, among many flowers, Qin Tian only loves plum blossoms.

At this time, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and people can't help but sigh. It is precisely because the plum blossoms have experienced severe cold that they can bloom.

After Qin Tian uttered such a sentence, the nine princesses who came over were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but said: "Good poem, good poem, I didn't expect Master Qin to be so kind..."

Qin Tian turned his head and saw that it was the ninth princess who came. He was a little surprised and said, "Why is your highness here?"

At this time, Qin Tian had a serious face, and the nine princesses remembered how Qin Tian touched her that night, and immediately felt that Qin Tian was so hypocritical, and wondered if he should have praised him just now.

"My father wants your box of matches. If you bring me some more, my father wants some."

The Ninth Princess spoke casually, but Qin Tian complained secretly, did Li Yuan also know about the matches?

I'm afraid this thing can't be hidden.

Originally, if only the ninth princess knew about it, with the situation of the ninth princess, the whole city would know about it, but Li Yuan was different.

There are no secrets in the palace.

Sure enough, Li Shimin walked over from the outside as soon as Princess Nine had finished speaking.

"What a plum, it smells so good." After Li Shimin came in, he found that the ninth princess was also there. He glanced at the ninth princess and said, "is the ninth sister?"

Princess Jiu didn't give him a good face, rolled her eyes, and left straight away.

Li Shimin looked at her like this, but she couldn't help it. Qin Tian was watching from the side, but he was confused. The Ninth Princess and Li Shimin didn't deal with it?
How is this going?

"My lord, you..."

Just when he was about to ask, Li Shimin said, "I heard that you got some matches, bring some to me."

"Where did this prince hear about it?"

"Don't worry about it, bring it to me quickly. With this thing on your body, you can feel at ease no matter where you go."

As long as there is a tool to make a fire, basically you can't starve to death. Qin Tian had no choice but to smile bitterly, so he could only quickly get some for Li Shimin, and he knew that this thing might become a symbol of wealth in the future.

Just like in later generations, many people don’t actually smoke, but they are still used to keeping a lighter in their pocket, and finally the very expensive lighter.

Not only is it easier to walk there with a lighter, but more importantly, this thing can show their extraordinary identities.

The match was taken out, Li Shimin applauded again and again after using it.

"Qin Aiqing is not kind, there are such good things, why don't you send some to me first."

"I originally wanted to give it away, but I didn't do much. I'll send you some more after thinking about it."

Li Shimin smiled, he likes this reason, and at this moment, Qin Tian suddenly asked curiously: "My lord, it seems that the ninth princess likes you very much?"

When these words came out, Li Shimin's expression suddenly tightened, and then he seemed to be a different person.

"You want to know?"
