Chapter 35
Empress Changsun can be regarded as a figure who has left a lot of ink in history. As a generation of virtuous empress, when encountering today's scene, she was stunned for a moment, and soon said with a smile: "Kuan'er has a heart.
, the majestic prince, personally made the mirror in the workshop, come, bring it over, I want to see it for myself."
Li Kuan handed the box to the palace maid aside.
This ordinary and extremely ordinary box instantly became the focus of the field.
Everyone wanted to see Li Kuan make a fool of himself.
I have to say that Li Kuan's popularity seemed a bit poor in the past.
"Li Kuan, many people say that your brain is different from that of ordinary people. I finally saw it today."
Li Shimin stared at Li Kuan with an unkind expression.
Without waiting for Empress Changsun to open the box, Li Shimin could imagine the scene where everyone wanted to laugh but dared not.
This Li Kuan, it is indeed abnormal for him not to cause trouble for a period of time.
"Your Majesty, my empress, why don't you take a look at the mirror prepared by Wei Chen and see if you are satisfied with it or not?"
Li Kuan had confidence in his heart and was naturally not afraid of everyone's looks.
Even if Li Shimin stared at him, he didn't think anything of it.
I’ll ask you all to take your words back later.
"This box seems a bit tight. Your Majesty, please help me open it and take a look." Empress Changsun tried it without opening the box and felt a little speechless, so she had to ask Li Shimin for help.
Li Shimin was even more unhappy at this time.
Even the box that holds the mirror is an antique found somewhere and is difficult to open.
"Eh!"
Li Shimin took the box and opened it with all his strength. He was about to get angry at Li Kuan, but he was shocked by what he saw in front of him.
Suddenly, a handsome young man with a crown on his head and bright eyes appeared in the box.
Judging by his appearance, he seems very familiar.
Could it be that this achievement is mine?
Could it be that this is the mirror Li Kuan was talking about, that it can actually see people's faces so clearly?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Queen Changsun saw that Li Shimin was distracted after opening the box, and she couldn't help but call a few words softly.
The people around him also focused on Li Shimin and wanted to know what his reaction would be next.
"I wrongly blamed Kuan'er."
Li Shimin was open-minded and quickly recovered himself from being lost.
"Queen, look at it, Kuan'er is the most thoughtful. You should like this mirror."
Empress Changsun took the box from Li Shimin with a curious look on her face.
"ah?"
Her reaction was no better than Li Shimin's.
For many years, she could only see a blurry version of herself in the bronze mirror.
Although many people say that they are beautiful and fragrant, they have never clearly seen how beautiful they are.
Now the young woman in the mirror appeared before him like a real person.
This is a treasure.
"Mother, what is so special about the mirror that my second brother gave you?"
Li Lizhi was more courageous and had always been favored by Li Shimin and his wife. Seeing Empress Changsun's behavior, her curiosity could no longer be restrained. She walked over quickly while talking.
Others around him also stretched their necks, as if they could see clearly what was inside the box.
"The left and right sides are just mirrors. Later I will have someone prepare a fine bronze mirror for my mother."
Li Tai saw in the crowd that Queen Changsun seemed to be very satisfied with Li Kuan's gift, and couldn't help mumbling.
I don’t know if I’m talking to myself or to Li Chengqian who is standing aside.
"I don't know who was praising how rare his gift was just now. I didn't see any surprises after my mother received your gift."
Li Chengqian added fuel to the fire and said that anyway, Li Tai and Li Kuan were more powerful in the fight, so it would not hurt him.
Li Kuan's gift was obviously loved by Empress Changsun, and even seemed to outshine Li Tai, which made Li Chengqian feel inexplicably happy.
No matter how prominent Li Kuan was, he would not pose any threat to his position as crown prince, but Li Tai was different.
Therefore, Li Chengqian can happily accept Li Kuan as the winner of today's birthday gift, as long as he can make Li Tai unhappy.
"Hmph, the queen mother has such a good temper. It's obviously just an ordinary mirror, but in order to prevent the second brother from having any thoughts, she deliberately pretended to like it very much."
Li Tai explained self-righteously that in his opinion, Empress Changsun showed her love for the mirror given by Li Kuan purely out of etiquette.
After all, it's just a mirror, even if it's edged with gold, that's all.
"Wow! This...is this really a mirror?"
At this time, Li Lizhi's exclamation rang out, "Every detail is revealed. It turns out that this is what I was talking about. Second brother, I also want a mirror."
"Kuan'er, it's good, it's very good. I like this mirror very much."
Empress Changsun also saw the curiosity of the people around her about this mirror. After admiring her own performance in the mirror, she quickly recovered her mind and asked people to pass it around to see what the mirror Li Kuan had given her was like.
"As long as the empress likes it, Wei Chen's hard work this month will be worth it."
When Li Kuan was speaking, he specially emphasized the word "one month", which made Li Shimin speechless.
"Ah! This...how is this mirror so clear?"
"Isn't this a bronze mirror? It doesn't seem to be made of porcelain either?"
"It turns out that this is what I look like. There are wrinkles at the corners of my eyes."
"This mirror seems to be made of crystal. It is really a rare treasure. Is it really made by His Highness King Chu himself?"
"What the princess said is very clear. Just now I thought it was too exaggerated. But now it seems that my imagination is not enough."
"If such a mirror appeared in the east and west cities, I'm afraid it would sell like crazy."
"This mirror is really ingenious."
…
Men like Li Chengqian were embarrassed to go over and compete with the ladies to look in the mirror, but they were itchy in their hearts.
Although I don’t know what this mirror is like, I can tell it looks very powerful just by looking at it.
"Second brother, it seems that your mirror is going to win the first prize in my mother's birthday gift today. What does it mean to have beads from the east to the west?"
Li Chengqian talked to Li Kuan with a smile on his face.
"Hmph, I would like to see what is so great about your mirror."
Before seeing the mirror, Li Tai was unwilling to give in. He felt that his thirty-six pearls were actually outweighed by a mirror.
"The Queen has a decree to give His Highness the King of Chu a pair of Ruyi jade, two pieces of silk, and a fine BMW."
A eunuch's voice made the palace immediately become quiet.
