From the beginning to the end, the eldest princess never looked at Qin Feng, and she concentrated on embroidering the colorful phoenix handkerchief. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, who would have thought that the extremely noble eldest princess could have such common people. A "little hobby" that only exists.
This shows that the eldest princess is different, and Qin Feng can't help but be cautious secretly.
The eldest princess asked absently while threading the needle: "Qin Feng, please answer me honestly. Is the song "Drunk Flower Yin·Misty Clouds Worrying Forever Day" written by your sister Shen Qingci, or did you borrow flowers to offer to Buddha? ?”
Uh, is this why you came to me to ask?
Qin Feng rolled his eyes in his heart.
If that's the case, wouldn't it be nice to reward yourself?
But after thinking about it, Qin Feng gave up the idea. If the eldest princess learned that this poem was not written by Shen Qingci, it would inevitably cause complications. After all, this harem has many rules and a long list of crimes. As long as the eldest princess is willing to pick any crime, she can be beaten to death.
Besides...
A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea.
Who knows what kind of medicine the eldest princess is selling in her gourd. In this harem, you have to be careful about your words and deeds. Otherwise, if you are really carried out through the back door, you will have no place to reason.
Qin Feng scratched his head, pretending to be harmless to humans and animals, and said with a giggle: "That song is called Zuihuayin. The emotions revealed between the lines naturally come from the heart of a delicate daughter. How could I, a grown man, write it? Publish that kind of poetry? Those who don’t know think I am the ‘Second Chair’.”
"If His Highness likes it, I will tell my sister when I get back and ask her to compose seven or eight more poems for His Highness. Anyway, my sister is a recognized talented woman in Kyoto, and she still has some literary talents."
This bit of literary talent? The person who can write "Drunken Flowers, Thick Mists, Clouds and Everlasting Days" is not an exaggeration even if it is described as an ancient talent.
This Qin Feng was either pretending to be crazy or stupid, or he didn't know the meaning of this poem at all.
But this guy is the talented man who made the masterpiece "Out of the Fortress", how could he not know that?
The corners of the eldest princess's mouth raised slightly, and she understood clearly in her heart, but did not inquire further.
"If we can produce a few more poems of the quality of "Drunk Flower Yin", let alone the most talented woman in Kyoto, the title of the most talented woman in Daliang must be the title of the eldest daughter of the Qin family. However, I am not greedy, there is a The first paperweight is enough. After all, this poem just touches my heart. If you read it too much, it will not be good if you feel sad for spring and autumn all day long."
After she finished speaking, the maid next to her took out a small brocade box and handed it to Qin Feng, saying softly: "This is a reward from His Highness, take it back to your sister."
Qin Feng's eyes gleamed, this was a reward from the palace, something that even money might not be able to buy.
In front of the eldest princess and Princess Qiyang, Qin Feng opened the brocade box. When he saw the contents inside, Qin Feng couldn't help but be disappointed.
You’ve been working on it for a long time, and that’s it? The dignified Princess Daliang is also stingy.
Inside the box was a crystal clear glass bead. To put it bluntly, it was a glass ball. Qin Feng didn't even bother to pick it up when it fell on the ground.
Originally, Princess Qiyang wanted to blame Qin Feng for being rude. How could she open a gift in front of others?
But seeing Qin Feng's disgusted face, he couldn't help but feel curious, and he didn't care about blaming. He asked softly: "These are the best colored glaze beads that were paid tribute from the Western Regions. There are only three in the entire harem. Qin Feng, shouldn't you?" Could it be that you don’t know the goods?”
Qin Feng curled his lips, stuffed the glass beads into his arms, and shrugged disapprovingly: "It's not me, I can have as many of these things as I want."
As soon as these words came out, Princess Qiyang suddenly looked contemptuous and said with disdain: "You don't have to make a draft when you are bragging. The origin of this glass bead is thousands of miles away in the Western Regions. The Western Regions send envoys to Daliang once every three years, and they only bring one with them each time." A glass bead. Only when the nobles in the harem make Long Yan happy, the saint will reward one. Although it is not as bright as the night pearl, such a clear bead is wonderful and priceless. "
Come on!
Qin Feng felt funny in his heart, isn't it just glass? The sand used to make glass can be found everywhere, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is cheap.
As a top student in the Department of Civil Engineering, Qin Feng read countless extracurricular books in his spare time. Regarding the method of refining glass, it was not difficult for Qin Feng at all.
If it weren't for the fact that glass is an extremely scarce thing in this era and is a top-notch luxury product that only a few people can afford, Qin Feng would have made a fortune by refining glass long ago. Why would he need to work hard to make sugar?
Although the unit price of this glass bead is astonishingly profitable, the circle is too small to be of great use. The more universal something is, the more profitable it is. After all, the base is large. This is an eternal truth.
If Princess Qiyang knew that Qin Feng could make as much glass as he wanted, I don't know what she would think.
"Haha, whatever the princess says is whatever it is." Qin Feng's face was full of flattery.
Princess Qiyang lost her father when she was young and has always been strong. When she saw Qin Feng deliberately accommodating her, her temper got worse and she insisted on competing: "You are really so capable. If you have the ability to take out a few glazed balls, you don't need too many. If you can Take out three, and I, the princess, will count you as the winner. Don’t you like money? How about ten thousand taels of silver for each one, and I, the princess, will buy them at a high price? "
"really?!"
Qin Feng's eyes lit up, and these words directly poked his heart.
You're a bastard who doesn't make money.
Anyway, it was not difficult to prepare the stove for refining colored glaze. Qin Feng decisively reached a deal with Princess Qiyang and agreed to pay the money and deliver the goods at the Qin Mansion three days later.
Seeing Qin Feng so cheerful, Princess Qiyang couldn't help but mutter in her heart: "I heard that this brat has a lot of skill and skill. Can he really take out the glass beads? No, no, no..."
Princess Qiyang quickly shook off this ridiculous idea: "This is a tribute from the Western Regions, and it is an extremely precious treasure even in the Western Regions. Qin Feng has no channels in the Western Regions, how can he create a glass bead out of thin air? As long as Qin Feng cannot get it. , this princess can take the opportunity to blackmail him."
Seeing Qin Feng and Princess Qiyang arguing, the eldest princess did not intervene.
First out of curiosity, I wanted to see if Qin Feng could take out the glass beads.
The second step is to investigate Qin Feng's true and false status. After this, it is concluded that although Qin Feng is respectful on the surface, in fact, he does not take himself seriously at all, otherwise he would not argue with the princess in front of him.
The eldest princess was minding her own business embroidering the rhopa, and said lightly: "I heard that the war in Beidi has been settled, and there is no room for maneuver. As long as everything is ready, we can send out our troops, and all this is yours." credit?"
As expected, the eldest princess brought the topic to the war in Beidi.
It seems that the reward is false, but it is true to find out the truth.
Qin Feng was well prepared and shook his head like a rattle: "I'm just settling the accounts for the saint. As for the expedition to Beidi, a small man talks lightly, how can he dare to interfere in the government affairs?"
