Learning the hardcore harem life of a princess

Chapter 178

It would be a lie to say that he was not excited, but he had to prepare in advance, and he didn't know what novelty it was.

Agitated, he lifted the red silk on the top, and saw two crystal clear water jade cups inside, and there were many finely carved edges and corners underneath, which were dazzling and eye-catching when viewed through the light.

He looked at Tantai Ziyu with some disappointment: "Aren't they just two water jade cups, but the carvings on the bottom are fresher."

"In your opinion, how much is such a water jade cup worth?"

Tao Zeqi took it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly: "This one-to-one pair is exactly the same, and the value is more than a thousand taels."

"What if I tell you it's only worth twenty coins?" Tantai Ziyu said with a smile.

Tao Zeqi almost lost his grip on the cup in his hand: "What did you say?"

"It costs less than twenty cents."

Tao Zeqi was a little confused, and then he laughed in disbelief: "This is because you don't understand, it is rare to find such a large piece of water jade, and it can be an exact pair, and this carver, I say, is a thousand taels. Less."

Tantai Ziyu signaled to Xia Meng, Xia Meng put down the tray and went out, and after a while came in with two pairs of identical glasses.

"This—" Tao Zeqi was really dumbfounded.

"En?" Tantai Ziyu looked at him questioningly: "Put on the mask and go to the workshop with me."

Tao Zeqi didn't know how he got out of the glass workshop, there were densely packed glasses, and strangely shaped glass ornaments made by craftsmen.

"How is it?" Tantai Ziyu looked at him with folded arms.

"This...is all made?" Tao Zeqi's cognition was completely overturned.

"Well, the water jade you are talking about is not a kind of jade, but crystal. The composition of this kind of thing is the same as that of crystal, but crystal is crystallized, while glass is melted, so they look the same. There are quite a few differences in physical properties."

Tao Zeqi didn't understand at all, but he felt that Tantai Ziyu must be right.

"Cousin, this is also sold to our Tao family, right?" This is the first time Tao Zeqi called Tantai Ziyu his cousin in private.

"As long as we cooperate happily, the Tao family will definitely be sold, won't the fat and water flow to outsiders? But you have to do your best to arrange your affairs." Tantai Ziyu looked at him.

"Definitely try my best, definitely try my best." Tao Zeqi said vowedly.

"Okay, then let's go back and talk." Tantai Ziyu turned around and left.

Ji Yuan is now preparing the sweaters to be shipped to the border. In principle, nothing will go wrong, but Tantai Ziyu doesn't think the Queen Mother and the Wang family will really let this happen, so she has to find foreign help, no one better than the Tao family. More powerful foreign aid.

"If there is no accident in this matter, your Tao family will sell that batch of sweaters yourself. If there is any accident, you have to give all of that batch of sweaters to me." That's what Tantai Ziyu planned.

Tao Zeqi nodded: "It is true that the Queen Mother and the Wang family will not let the emperor complete this matter so easily, but doing so will make the emperor afraid of his cousin."

"Your cousin is quite smooth now, so what if you are afraid?" Tantai Ziyu didn't care at all.

Tao Zeqi nodded: "However, there should be no need to open a blacksmith's shop at the border. There are many border guards, and there are many government-run blacksmith's shops there."

"Those are clearly registered, and the number of weapons inside is clear. What I want you to do is something that can be concealed from the imperial court registration."

"This?" Tao Zeqi was a little confused.

"If the imperial court knows, then the Queen Mother must know, and those who want to know will know too."

Tao Zeqi thought about it and figured out what was going on: "Cousin, don't worry, there is a blacksmith's shop under our control, and it is very hidden, as long as there are some things that are not registered, it will be fine. As for what to do, the cousin can tell you. "

"Okay." Tantai Ziyu was very satisfied with Tao Zeqi's attitude.

Tantai Ziyu is not idle either, the glass workshop is on the right track no matter whether it is casting molds or blowing, Tao Zeqi has brought back a lot of pigments, and the ceramic workshop can make enamel.

One day in the factory, Tantai Ziyu felt that time passed quickly. When they entered the city gate, it happened to be the closing time of the city gate, so they came back by stepping on it.

They changed the carriage to Wanfu Temple and they went straight back to the palace. Qin Luo was holding a blown glass pig in his hand, and beside him was a plastic basin with a pair of rain boots, which he brought back with shamelessness.

Tantai Ziyu felt a little sleepy after being shaken by the carriage, leaned on the quilt and squinted her eyes: "I think the poisoning of Concubine Hui may not be the fault of Concubine Hui."

Qin Luo didn't know why Tantai Ziyu suddenly started talking about this matter. He had told Tantai Ziyu about these things early in the morning, but she still insisted on leaving the palace and did not investigate this matter.

"Well, according to what Suyun said, they met Yiling on the road and had a dispute with Yiling. The food box in the middle was knocked open. I think someone might be tampering at that time." Qin Luo said seriously.

Tantai Ziyu thinks that Meng Qingman will not attack Lan Shang unless they cooperate: "Why did Yi Ling attack Concubine Hui? Even if Mrs. Meng is arrogant in the palace, Lan Shang is also the queen mother's niece, and the palace dares to provoke her. There aren't many of her."

"Yi Ling was going to the Plum Garden to cut plum blossoms. She happened to meet Concubine Hui on the way. At that time, she took too many plum blossoms and asked Concubine Hui to borrow them. Then she collided with her. However, it was strange that Mrs. Meng didn't go there. Boguyuan is making trouble." Qin Luo said with a smile.

"Are the plum blossoms in the palace blooming? It's so early." Tantai Ziyu was a little surprised.

"Are you talking about Concubine Hui, or are you wondering if the plum blossoms are in bloom?" Qin Luo felt that Tantai Ziyu ran away from the topic and lost his way back.

"Then what?" Tantai Ziyu looked at Qin Luo angrily. He felt that Qin Luo's thoughts were too meticulous. What happened before the concubine had dinner?"

Qin Luo frowned and thought for a moment: "It's nothing?"

"Are you sure you're not sure?"

Qin Luo thought about it again: "Is there any problem?"

"Of course there is a problem. It was purely accidental that Yiling met Concubine Hui. She couldn't possibly carry poison with her, right? So even if the food box was knocked open at that time, it was just a coincidence." Tantai Ziyu looked disgusted. Looking at Qin Luo: "Who told you that the food box was knocked open?"

"Suyun and Suqin." Qin Luo didn't care.

Tantai Ziyu thought for a while, it must be that Concubine Hui was poisoned later, so the two of them felt that this matter was very suspicious.

"Are you sure there is really nothing else?" Tantai Ziyu thought it was unlikely: "Then tell me how many people appeared beside Concubine Hui from the time Yiling collided with Concubine Hui to Concubine Hui was poisoned."
