Chapter 128 Ke'er, You Lied
The candlelight flickered, and the bedroom returned to silence again.

The news that Li Ke brought was like sending charcoal in the snow, and under the light and shadow, his slumped face was extraordinarily joyful.

But after thinking about it, there are some places that I don't understand.

For example, there are a lot of young guests under Li Ke's family, but after all, I haven't heard of anyone who is a blockbuster!
It can be known that this promotion of coal is not a simple addition of a fuel, but an innovation of the entire Datang fuel, and it can even be called a first-class!

This kid Li Ke grew up under Li Shimin's own eyes. Needless to say, he is smart, but this kid has always been a lover of history books. When did he become interested in inventions and manufacturing?
The tiger's eyes glanced at the figure packing up the memorials in front of the desk, and Li Shimin spoke slowly with doubts in his heart.

"Eunuch Rong, are there any new talents and strangers under Ke'er's sect? Or are there people who return to thank you for their strange skills and ingenuity?"

In private, it was Eunuch Rong who brought cakes and snacks to the princes.Naturally, he is more familiar with the progressive and favored diners in various palaces.

Recalling it now, he shook his head slowly.

"I really don't have such a talent in my impression, and I haven't heard of anyone who knows the world in the palace in recent days."

The candles in front of the collapsed desk crackled and the aroma of wormwood pervaded the entire palace, and those annoying flying insects had long since disappeared.

Eunuch Rong lifted the paper lampshade and placed it on one side, making the palace brighter.

"Your Majesty suspects that the person who presented the utensils did not come from the Wu Palace?"

The candles were extinguished to reflect on the pensive face, and the shadows of the flames were reflected in the bottom of the eyes, and a knowing smile hung on Li Shimin's calm face.

"In that case, it's not surprising."

Standing up with the armrest beside him, Li Shimin paced around the hall, his heart seemed to be enlightened.

"The poisonous salt in the north is flooded, and no one dares to eat it. Cheng Chumo got Li Xian's advice, and dedicated his salt making skills, and discarded it."

"This time, Ke'er offered the unremarkable charcoal from the Tang Dynasty. Why do I feel that there are some similarities in this matter?"

Eunuch Rong, who was standing quietly by the side of the hall, looked at the figure pacing with bowed head in the hall, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he understood the whole story.

He slightly arched his body, clasped his hands and clasped his fists, a smile appeared on his fat and white face.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty."

"His Royal Highness Wu Wang has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. This time, he has joined forces with the whimsical Mr. Li. It must be successful to separate the poisonous smoke from the charcoal."

"After this time, the charcoal of the Tang Dynasty can be used and popularized. From now on in the Tang Dynasty, there will be fewer and fewer hungry and cold people in the world. In time, there will be no people in the world who suffer from hunger."

The words are reserved, and the figure walking in the hall can be heard, with hands behind their backs, steadying their steps.

"Li Xian didn't want to reveal his name, and Ke'er was tight-lipped, but on the contrary, he confirmed the matter."

"From my point of view, there are nine out of ten cases that Li Xian did this."

"Ke'er, Ke'er..."

The words were ordinary and did not go on.

The sharp-eyed Li Shimin had already seen some clues from Li Ke's reluctance to disclose it before, but at that time, he was overjoyed and concentrated his energy on the charcoal instead of the maker.

This time, the happy expression settled down, but she saw the matter very thoroughly.

After waving his sleeves, Li Shimin strode towards the side hall.

"Zhi'er hasn't been there for a long time, and Eunuch Rong will go to the reserve horse tomorrow morning."

"I want to meet Li Xian in person."

Eunuch Rong hurriedly bowed and agreed, walked out of the hall slowly, closed the door, shook his head slightly and smiled.

"Your Majesty, in the past, he rarely cared about the Jin Palace, but now he really misses it all the time."

"This Li Xian is really the lucky star of Prince Jin's mansion."

……

The sun is shining all over, and the autumn is refreshing.

Jin Hui casts an elongated oblique shadow on the wooden wall through the carved window lattice.

Framed calligraphy and paintings hang high on the wooden wall, bathing in the sun.The frame is made of nanmu, embellished with vermilion peonies, and tassels hang down, revealing a bit of extravagance in the elegance.

Under the picture scroll, Princess Changle is wearing a garden violet shirt, with black hair hanging down, her beautiful eyes are fixed on the white square scarf in her hand, and she takes out stitches and threads with a little clumsiness.

The outline of half a mandarin duck is embroidered with vermilion silk thread, and the perched branch is a bit crooked, but the stitches are fine and careful.

"Your Highness, you are still embroidering!"

Axiu gave a rare soft call, and her footsteps became light as soon as she stepped into the house, for fear of frightening the figure on the soft couch and poking her fingers down.

Princess Changle didn't raise her head, her hands were not slow at all, she smiled slightly.

"I don't know when the wedding date will be. It must be coming soon. I have to speed up my pace. Otherwise, apart from the gold and silver fines prepared by my father, I will not have a single thing from me. What will it look like?"

Axiu leaned over and sat down, glanced at the towel on her hand, and squinted her eyes with a smile.

"I didn't expect that Her Highness the Princess would have such skillful hands. She is obviously a model of a good wife and mother."

"It's not like that Princess Gaoyang, who quarrels in the palace all day long, as if she doesn't care about marriage at all."

Stopping her needlework, Princess Changle raised her jade face, frowned slightly, and looked over.

"What? You haven't lost your anger yet?"

Axiu pursed her lips, and cast a blank glance at Gao Yang's residence in Fengyang Pavilion.

"Isn't that right, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai all day long, saying that strange skills and ingenious tricks can also occupy an important position in the palace, and then beating around the bush and saying that some people have robbed Fangfu's future."

"Hey~ This person is always brooding. He is obviously picking things up on his own, and he can't see that others are excellent..."

Speaking of this, Axiu also knew that it was inappropriate to gossip behind her back, so she stopped talking, and a look of joy flashed across her face.

"His Royal Highness, this morning I saw Fang's father and son inquiring about the location of the shop on the long street, but the question was about doing coal business with Mr. Li."

"Are you saying that Mr. Li is short of money and silk?"

"I want to come to Duke Wei's mansion. Although he has no property, he is an important minister in the court after all. When the country was founded, His Majesty's rewards can also keep you warm. How did you give Mr. Li the idea of ​​doing business?"

Putting the square scarf in her hand to one side, a look of suspicion flashed across Princess Changle's face.

"Coal? Buy or sell?"

"Our Datang coal is only used for iron smelting and casting. Even if Mr. Li is in business, he shouldn't choose this trip. Could it be of other great use?"

Standing up slowly with plain hands and knees, Princess Changle raised her eyebrows and paced in the house in thought.

Flying against the light and dust, he whispered softly and slowly spit out his red lips.

"Construction workshop? It seems that there is a lot of movement."

"The Duke of Wei's mansion doesn't have much property. Although the Cheng family has tea as an extra livelihood, the number of acres is small, and it may be difficult to support the consumption of merchants."

Although Princess Changle has never run any property, she has also seen the consumption of several older brothers when buying property, and unconsciously her brows furrowed even deeper.

"Money and silk are scarce, I'm afraid this business will not last long."

After pondering for a moment, he took a step towards the outside of the house, and Axiu asked from behind.

"Where is your highness going?"

Beside the threshold, the figure bathed in the sun turned sideways and hooked his hands slightly.

"Go to borrow some money from the queen mother, at least it can meet the unexpected needs of Mr. Li."

Axiu on the soft couch took off her thin cloak, followed her out, put on her jade arms, and rolled her eyes.

"It's good for you. Others send some congratulatory gifts when they get married, but you are not married yet, but you are sending them out."

In the sunlight, Yumian showed a smiling face, a faint blush hung on her face, and she spoke softly.

"There are outsiders there."
