At this moment, Li Shen bowed his head and held the box in both hands, with a flattering smile on his face, and he looked like a traitorous minister.
Li Shimin was suddenly frightened when he saw it. This son must have some big conspiracy. Otherwise, why would he be so enlightened and prepare a big gift?
However, Li Shimin had also experienced strong winds and waves. How could he be frightened by Li Shen? He reached for the box in Li Shen's hand and opened it.
Inside is a blood-red tea set with patterns carved on it.
Li Tai and Li Zhi also looked over, but when they saw the red tea set, they sneered.
They thought it was some kind of unique treasure, wasn't it a soapstone tea set?
Li Zhi smiled contemptuously,
"Tenth brother, I thought it was some kind of peerless treasure that you said was so unique in the world. Isn't this the bloodstone?
Although my brother is not as rich as you, I still have some ornaments made of soapstone in my house.
They say that your Highness, Prince Ji, is well-informed and has countless rare treasures in his house. How come you haven’t seen even this?
Still saying that I have never seen a tea set made of soapstone. "
After Li Zhi finished laughing, the little fat Li Tai continued:
"Yes, tenth brother, you are known as the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, why have your vision become so bad now?
Although bloodstone is precious, it is not the only one in the world. Hahaha"
Li Shimin didn't speak. He was looking at Li Shen's expression. In fact, he also believed that this was chicken blood stone.
Li Shimin was not surprised at all that Li Shen dared to deceive him with chicken blood stone.
His son had lied to him a lot.
Li Shen was not angry after hearing this, but smiled slightly and said:
"Haha, both brothers are right. I do have a low vision, and I don't have as many treasures in my house as the outside world says.
In fact, you don't know that Prince Ji's Mansion is now a powerful one but a powerful one. He has no money and has bought all kinds of rare treasures. "
While Li Shen was complaining here, Li Shimin had already reached out and picked up a tea cup, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and felt the feel of it again.
"No, this is not chicken blood stone." Li Shimin said suddenly.
He interrupted Li Shen who was still complaining.
Queen Changsun also picked up a teacup and put it in front of her eyes. She was also a queen who had seen the world, and there were a lot of bloodstones in the warehouse.
Li Shen also sent a lot, so she looked at it for a while and nodded:
"Well, it's really not like bloodstone. The material is a bit like jade."
At this time, Li Shen took a pair of cotton white gloves from Chunxiang, put them on his hands, picked up a teacup, showed a professional smile to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun and said:
"Aye, mother, the material of this tea cup is locally called chicken blood jade, or cinnabar jade. It is produced in Lingui County, Guizhou Prefecture.
This jade is extremely rare. It took ten years of collecting to collect this tea set. I made it specially for Aye.
Aye, please look at this jade, which is chicken blood red and dazzling. After polishing, it shines like the morning glow, presenting a breathtaking beauty.
Moreover, chicken blood jade has the characteristics of uniform color tone, never changing color, wear resistance, strong gloss, fine and tough texture, etc.
Look again at the pattern, which is in the shape of a large flower, symbolizing prosperity and prosperity. So I also call it Xiangyun Jade.
Using it to drink tea can "remove moderate heat, relieve annoyance, help the throat, nourish the hair, nourish the five internal organs, soothe the soul, soothe the blood vessels, improve the ears and eyes" and many other effects.
As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold is easy to get, but a ruby is hard to find.
Use it to pray for blessings, eliminate evil spirits, protect peace, and bring good luck.
This thing can only be possessed by the Emperor of Heaven, the co-lord of the world, and the Khan of Heaven. "
After Li Shen finished speaking, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were shocked, and everyone present was also shocked.
What shocked them was not the rarity and preciousness of Chicken Blood Jade.
What they don't understand is how King Ji can talk about a piece of jade in such a high-end manner, and how he can have so many descriptive words.
Didn't it mean that King Ji would not go to the Imperial College to study before he was ten years old? He started working in business at the age of ten.
Li Shimin was happiest when he heard Li Shen's last words. Li Shimin knew that his son was talking nonsense just to show how precious this jade was.
Just by looking at him wearing white gloves and talking about the products like a clerk, Li Shimin knew that Li Shen was making things up.
But the last sentence really spoke to his heart.
The Son of Heaven, the common ruler of the world, is the Khan of Heaven. These are all titles he won with his own hands, and they are all titles that can prove his great achievements.
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, I am very satisfied with your gift and I like it very much.
But you still can't delay going to Goguryeo. I just said that the army cannot always be without the post of military governor.
But I heard that you got sick from eating in Guangzhou, so you should rest at home for a while and then go to the palace tomorrow to let the imperial doctor take a good look at you.
Although you are young, you cannot be at the root of the disease. "Li Shimin laughed and happily accepted Li Shen's gift.
Then he showed concern for Li Shen's poor physical condition.
"Thank you, Aye, for your consideration." Li Shen immediately thanked him happily.
If everything goes well, I won't have to go to Goguryeo this year. I will stay at home for two months in October. If I go again, it will be winter everywhere, so there will be no use.
Li Shen was happy, but Li Tai and Li Zhi were not happy. Just now, the two of them worked together to squeeze Li Shen's attention.
He gave the chicken blood stone as a treasure to Li Shimin, but now he has been repaid in this world and slapped in the face.
Just when the two were trying to get through it without saying a word, how could Li Shen let them go? Li Shen said with a smile:
"Two brothers, I think what you just said is right. My vision is indeed not as good as the two brothers.
Why don't you guys tell me about it? I'm willing to listen to the teachings of my two elder brothers.
I wonder if my two brothers have any other teachings? "
Li Shen would have had this chicken blood jade in his eyes, let alone these two.
You may say that Li Shen does not pay much attention to government affairs, but he is particularly interested in these treasure appraisals.
Whenever he meets someone who understands, he will ask for advice. If nothing matters, he will ponder it by himself. Anyway, he has all kinds of treasures in his house.
Brother Li Tai was quite embarrassed when Li Shen asked.
"Hehe, hehe, tenth brother, this tea set of yours must be valuable, right?" Li Tai awkwardly changed the subject.
"It's okay, it's only a few hundred thousand guan, mainly because it's too rare. It took more than ten years to collect this tea set.
It took three months to make the tea set alone. That's why he is extremely precious. As far as I know, this is the only one in the Tang Dynasty. "Li Shen replied lightly.
"Hundreds of thousands?" Li Tai's eyes widened.
"Hundreds of thousands of guan? If this is the only set, it would be a priceless treasure." Li Shimin was also extremely surprised. He looked back at the box containing the tea set.
"Wang De, please personally deliver it to the study room of Daji Hall and put it away for me."
He was now afraid that the eunuch holding the box would not be able to hold it safely and would fall and fix it, so he sent it to Daji Hall, which was the palace of Concubine Wei.
