In the evening.
The crown prince's ceremonial carriage appeared in Vermilion Lane and finally stopped outside Zhangsun Manor.
The Crown Prince had his eyes on the Zhangsun Clan's chickens!
Everyone in Vermilion Purple Lane thought in unison.
The chickens of the other two families had all been cooked with Glaze, except for the chickens of the Eastern Palace.
In the marketplace, there were already people discussing, saying that the heavens did not bless the crown prince. In any case, there were all kinds of evil things.
There were even people who dared to whisper that the Crown Prince was not favored by the heavens and could not be the Crown Prince.
It was impossible for the Crown Prince not to be anxious.
"I'll have to trouble uncle again." After the carriage stopped, Li Chengqian said with a guilty expression.
Zhangsun Wuji naturally understood the reason for his nephew's guilt.
After all, the chicken in the manor belonged to his two sons. He definitely could not let his nephew, the crown prince, beg his two sons.
He could only step forward as a father and use his father's dignity to do this.
"You and I, uncle and nephew, don't be like this. That chicken must be yours, Chengqian.”Zhangsun Wuji promised.
Then, the two of them got out of the car.
Zhangsun Wuji brought Li Chengqian straight to the garden in the backyard of the manor.
"Where's the chicken?" Zhangsun Wuji did not find any chickens in the garden. His expression instantly turned cold as he angrily scolded the servant in charge of raising the chicken.
Thud!
"Old Master…Old Master…Chick…Chick was…slaughtered and eaten by the two young masters!”The servant was so scared that his entire body felt cold. He stammered and replied with a sob.
Zhangsun Wuji's face instantly darkened.
He ignored Li Chengqian and quickly walked towards Zhangsun Chong's room.
" Brother, this is the last glass of wine. There's only the chicken head and the chicken butt left. Who wants the chicken head…"
Zhangsun Wuji came to the door and saw the two rascals drinking until their faces were red. The second son, Zhangsun Huan, pointed at the remaining chicken head, neck, and butt on the plate and said in a drunken voice.
" A chicken's butt is a sign of wealth. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty gave his sons a chicken to eat. He gave the chicken's butt to Liu Heng, the acting king. In the future, Liu Heng will inherit the throne. This chicken's butt is a blessing. You eat the chicken's butt, and I eat the chicken's head and neck…" Zhangsun Chong stood up unsteadily and reached out his hand to the chicken's head as he spoke.
"Brother, you should enjoy the good fortune. I'll eat the chicken head and neck.”Zhangsun Huan blocked Zhangsun Chong's hand.
"Evil creature!"
Zhangsun Wuji, who was standing at the door, finally could not hold it in any longer. His thunderous roar rang out.
Then, without caring about his manners, he took off his shoes and rushed in.
"Evil creature! I'll let you eat!"
"I'll let you eat to your heart's content!"
"Father, what right do you have to hit us!"
"Just because you two bastards ate the glass chicken!”
" That's a gift from Big Brother. We have the right to decide how we eat it…"
"Mother, help, help…"
……
The Zhangsun family was in a state of chaos. It was only when Madam Zhangsun arrived that she pulled the father and son apart.
Zhangsun Chong and his brother were taken away by the servants to rest.
In the room, Zhangsun Wuji had his hands on his waist as he panted heavily.
Although Li Chengqian appeared calm on the surface, his heart was terrible!
Zhangsun Manor's Glazed Chicken had been eaten by two sinful bastards just like that!
"Chengqian, if I'm not mistaken, which Wu King's idea is this? He's preparing for the auction.”Zhangsun Wuji said angrily. Then, he smiled helplessly."Uncle's family is unfortunate. Your family is unfortunate.”
"Uncle, you don't have to blame yourself." Li Chengqian had a stomach full of anger, but he had no choice but to comfort Zhangsun Wuji.
After Li Chengqian returned to the Eastern Palace, he ordered with a gloomy expression,""Find Master Chef Ding and kill that chicken!”
He couldn't wait any longer. Even though the rumors that popped up in the city weren't much, it still filled Li Chengqian with anxiety.
"Also, prepare some glass shards!”Li Chengqian was worried that there was no glass in his chicken gizzard, so he had to prepare some glass shards in case of an accident.
"Your Highness, Azurite…Azurite…The chicken gizzard has Azurite!”While Li Chengqian was waiting anxiously, the Eastern Palace steward shouted excitedly.
Haha...
Li Chengqian raised his head and laughed loudly, finally heaving a sigh of relief.
There was also azure stone in his chicken!
The heavens favored him.
At least the rumors in Chang 'an could be extinguished!
Li Chengqian waved his hand and ordered,"" Set off fireworks! Set off firecrackers!"
He had long prepared for this. Even without Azurite, he would make a big fuss and surpass Li Tai.
Let the entire Chang 'an City see it!
"Yes, sir!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was night time. The sound of fireworks exploded, and dazzling flowers appeared in the sky above the Eastern Palace.
"What happened?"
"It looks like it's in the direction of the Eastern Palace. Go and find out what happened!”
"Crown Prince killed a chicken and found Azurite in the chicken gizzard?”
"The crown prince is anxious, but fortunately, there is Azurite in the crown prince's chicken.”
"This also proves that the method of making glass must have something to do with the chicken. Wu Wang Li Ke was inspired by the chicken eating sand to form glass!”
……
In the Imperial Palace.
Li Shiming stood in front of Taiji Palace and looked at the fireworks in the direction of the Eastern Palace.
Wang De ran to Li Shiming's side and reported in a low voice,"Your Majesty, the chicken in the Crown Prince's Mansion has also come out of Liuli. The rumors in Chang 'an have been dispelled.”
"Yes."
Li Shi Min only gave a soft 'm'. Wang De didn't see any expression on the Emperor's face.
……
Li Ke announced the auction day.
Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Li Ke had already booked the entire Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
The influential figures in Chang 'an City had already booked the private rooms upstairs.
There were also many merchants with no background sitting in the hall, waiting eagerly.
One by one, the exquisite chicken coops of the warriors had been placed on the high platform that was usually used for storytelling and skits.
Each chicken had a red silk tied around its neck.
In the best private room on the top floor.
Celestial Empress was sitting among them.
The princes and princesses in the palace had also arrived. They stood quietly by the window and stared at the dozen or so Glazed Chickens on the stage.
Si Zi watched for a while before trotting to Zhangsun Wugou's side. He swallowed his saliva and said crisply,""Mother, Zhangsun Biaoge ate our house's glass chicken and was beaten up by uncle. What does glass chicken taste like? It should be very delicious.”
After Celestial Empress heard this, she could not help but be amused.
The Emperor reached out and pinched the little girl's face. He smiled and said,""Little glutton, when you go back, Imperial Father will order that bastard brother of yours to send a glass chicken into the palace for you to eat.”
"That's great. Thank you, Imperial Father."
"Father, I want to eat too."
"Me too…"
When the other princes and princesses heard this, they also turned around and begged.
"Second Brother, let's see what you can do now." Zhangsun Wugou rebuked.”
……
In the rooms on the left and right.
Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and their aides were sitting there.
The other officials were also in groups of three to five in other rooms.
Zhangsun Wuji and Cui Zongbo were sitting in a room. Dugu Yanwen and the others were also there.
Zhangsun Wuji reminded as he drank his tea,""Dugu, I know that you have already made toothbrushes and tooth powder, but the Ministry of Central Affairs is preparing to implement the patent bill submitted by the King of Wu. The two lords Fang and Du have already agreed, so I can't stop you.”
"Uncle, please give me some pointers." Dugu Yanwen cupped his hands and asked.
Zhangsun Wuji smiled and said," Let me give you an example. His Highness 'tooth powder is made from salt, bluestone powder, and mint. You can add some other spices. As long as the formula is not the same as the King's, the patent law can't do anything to you.”
"Thank you for your advice, Uncle." Dugu Yanwen smiled.
Then, he said," Uncle, we've already discussed it. The Shi clan won't compete for today's bidding. I hope that Uncle can inform His Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Wei. In the future, when we research the method to make glass, the two of them will have a share."”
Zhangsun Wuji looked at the aristocrats present, how could he not understand their intentions?
Li Ke was probably going to suffer.
He was happy to see it.
Then, he smiled and stroked his beard.”
Dong dong dong…
"Let the auction begin!"
When a gong suddenly sounded from the high platform in the hall, Li Ke and his brothers swaggered out.
Other than Li Ke, everyone else sat down in the front row of the hall.
"Hmph, Little Rascal is feeling very pleased with himself now. His opponents are all old foxes. I want to see how he will deal with them!”Li Shi Min looked at his son's smug face and snorted coldly.
He had interacted with those aristocrats too much.
He knew very well how difficult it was to deal with those people!
Trying to take advantage of a group of vampires?
Difficult!
If he was careless, he would suffer.
