Chapter 210 Prince Ye Enters the Palace
In a flash, Su Yu flew to the vicinity of Taohua Lane. He tapped the eaves lightly and flew straight over the wall and into the courtyard.
Su Yu heard some movement in the flower hall, and he muttered softly: "Hey, haven't mother and the others rested yet?"
He walked towards the flower hall and saw three people already seated at the dining table. He walked up to them with a smile, bowed and greeted them, saying: "Mother, sister, and grandmother, are you waiting for me?"
Sister Su Wanwan said coquettishly: "I was waiting for you, brother. You are back. Come and sit down. Come and sit down. I am hungry. Mingyue, please serve the meal soon."
The maid Mingyue responded loudly, "Yes, Miss."
Su Yu looked at the three of them helplessly and said, "Mother, sister, and grandma, you must never do this again in the future. Sometimes I forget the time when I practice martial arts. If I make you all starve, I will be heartbroken."
Mother Su chuckled softly and said, "I know. Next time we will start eating when the time comes."
The Queen Mother also smiled and said: "It's okay, we have eaten the cakes you brought back, so we are not hungry."
But her younger sister Su Wanwan said coquettishly: "Brother, I don't like the pastries this time. I still like the pastries you brought last time."
Last time? Oh, he remembered. It was the place with the fragrant cakes and the exquisite and beautiful shapes. He still remembered the peach blossom cakes there.
Su Yu smiled dotingly and assured his sister Su Wanwan: "Next time, I will buy you something from that store."
When his younger sister Su Wanwan heard this, her beautiful peach blossom eyes curved into crescents. She was so happy that she shouted: "Thank you, brother. I knew you are the best to me."
Su's mother, the Queen Mother and the others were all amused by the conversation between the brother and sister. A greedy sister and a doting brother!!!
After dinner, Su Yu said goodbye to his mother and others. He hurried to the study because his teacher had given him homework today.
The servant Xie An added water and ground the medicine for him, and the maid Xie Nanxing lighted the oil lamp twice to make the light brighter. After finishing these things, the two of them retreated quietly.
Standing at the door, waiting for Su Yu's instructions at any time.
Su Yu took the brush and lightly dipped some ink on it. He had never written a policy paper before, but he decided to write down some ideas that he could think of first.
He picked up the pen and began to write, and the shadow of the pen was reflected in the window.
At the same time, inside the Qianqing Palace.
The emperor was holding the Liuguang sword in his hand and looking at it repeatedly. He paced back and forth and marveled at it. His younger brother had just shown him how sharp the sword was.
The emperor asked Prince Ye curiously: "Royal brother, this sword is really well-made. It is light, sharp and not easy to wear out. Where did you find this treasure?"
Prince Ye bowed slightly, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said with great respect: "It is a sign of great fortune for my royal brother, and it is also a sign of long-lasting prosperity for our Great Sheng Dynasty. You can have as many treasures like this as you want in the future." After saying this, his expression was still very serious.
When the emperor heard this, his eyes were as deep as a pool and his expression was unfathomable. He stared at Prince Ye and said in a deep voice: "Brother, are you serious about what you said?"
This is not something that can be talked about nonsense.
At this moment, Prince Ye straightened his body and said solemnly: "My emperor, please understand. How dare I deceive you? This is absolutely true."
The emperor saw that his brother's expression was extremely firm between his words, so he probably wasn't joking.
The emperor hurriedly said: "Brother, please tell me in detail."
Prince Ye's handsome face was adorned with a subtle hint of pride. He spoke aloud, "Your Majesty, this is actually a unique sword-forging method devised by one of my disciples. As for the specifics, the craftsmen are already familiar with it. Furthermore, just in case, I've brought them into the palace with me. They're waiting outside the palace gates."
When the emperor heard this, he was very pleased. He immediately ordered loudly: "What are we waiting for? Summon them to the audience."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Jingde, who was standing by, did not dare to delay and immediately raised his voice and shouted shrilly: "Call the craftsmen to see the emperor."
Immediately afterwards, two muscular blacksmiths, dressed in coarse linen clothes, were led in by the young eunuch.
After just one glance, they no longer dared to look up at the emperor's face. They knelt on the ground trembling and kowtowed, saying: "Greetings to the emperor, long live the emperor."
The emperor looked at the old man and the young man in front of him and asked, "I heard that this Liuguang Sword was forged by you?"
The middle-aged blacksmith said: "My name is Zhang Lei, and this is my apprentice Xia Zhao. This sword was forged by me and my apprentice Xia Zhao together, but the method of forging this sword was taught by our master Su Yu."
The emperor asked: "Su Yu? Is that your master's name? Your master should not be very old, right?"
The emperor thought, this means that his younger brother’s disciple is called Su Yu.
The middle-aged blacksmith Zhang Lei replied honestly: "Yes, although the master is not very old, he taught us the skills, so we naturally have to respect him as a master."
The emperor then asked: "Is the sword forging process complicated? Can it be made in large quantities?"
Blacksmith Zhang Lei replied patiently: "It's not complicated, it's just one more step than before, but the effect is extremely amazing."
He felt that his master was a god. He had been working as a blacksmith for more than ten years and had never thought of this method, nor had he imagined that the effect would be so amazing. Even the emperor was alarmed.
The emperor asked in a low voice: "Then I ask you, you two will be stationed in the Ministry of Works in the future and will be responsible for making weapons for the court. Are you willing?"
The blacksmith master and his apprentice looked at each other with extremely excited eyes. This was working for the court and receiving salaries from the court, so how could they not be willing?
The two of them responded in unison: "Yes, we do, Your Majesty."
The emperor was also very happy and said: "Then I will reward each of you with 200 taels of silver. You should report to the Ministry of Works tomorrow. Do your work well in the future, and the court will not treat you unfairly."
Then the two of them were taken away by the young eunuch.
The two masters and apprentices looked at each other again, and they thought in tacit understanding, what a great fortune this is, it must be all thanks to the master, this master is worth worshipping!!!
As soon as the two left, the emperor said to Prince Ye: "Your apprentice is called Su Yu, right? When did you accept him? I don't know how he is doing."
Prince Ye raised the corner of his mouth in an arc that he couldn't suppress, and he said: "I just received it yesterday."
The emperor still had many things he wanted to ask his younger brother, so he said: "My younger brother, please stay today and have dinner with me."
Prince Ye replied: "Yes, my royal brother."
It just so happened that he also had something to say to his royal brother.
The emperor then instructed the eunuch Jingde beside him, "Go and tell the queen that I will not be there for dinner today."
Jingde said: "Yes, Your Majesty," and then he walked out.
