…
Farm, porcelain workshop.
Seeing Zhao Hao coming back, Wang Mengyu and the other two who were setting up the ceremony venue hurried over to greet him.
Wang Mengyu had already returned a long time ago.
Two dragon and lion dance teams were invited.
Many big red lanterns and ribbons were hung in front of the porcelain kiln.
"Brother Hao, which adults are coming to attend our kiln opening ceremony?"
If a few heavyweights could come, they would also have a bright future.
It also shows that the court attaches great importance to all of them.
Therefore, they are still very much looking forward to finding out how many ministers will arrive and who will be the one!
Zhao Hao quickly said: "I'm telling you, don't be scared."
Wang Mengyu immediately laughed and said, "Brother Hao, it's not like we haven't seen important figures before. We have seen all the bigwigs in the court, even the left prime minister."
"Can you still be scared?"
Zhao Hao snorted, "Then listen carefully. His Majesty will lead all the civil and military officials to attend the ceremony in person."
Wang Mengyu laughed: "I thought it was someone else, it turned out to be His Majesty... What? Brother Hao, who do you think is coming?"
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Why, didn't you say you wouldn't be scared?"
Wang Mengyu immediately swallowed his saliva, and Zheng Zhiqian and Luo Bi beside him also widened their eyes.
Luo Bi said in a trembling voice: "Sir, is His Majesty really coming?"
Zhao Hao said, "Why would I lie to you about this? Stop standing there, tell everyone to wake up."
Luo Bi said quickly: "Sir, our preparations are too simple. If..."
Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, "It's enough to have a festive meaning. Your Majesty and the entire court are here mainly to see the porcelain coming out of the kiln."
“Everything else is trivial.”
The three of them nodded slightly.
Wang Mengyu said weakly: "Brother Hao, our kiln won't fail, right?"
Zheng Zhiqian immediately glared at him fiercely: "Old Wang, can you shut your stinky mouth?"
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Wang Mengyu was speechless and said, "I am just worried. I am not afraid of a thousand things, but I am afraid of one thing..."
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything anymore, okay? Look at your expressions, you look like you want to eat me."
Zheng Zhiqian snorted, "It's not possible to eat people, but it's possible to kill people!"
Zhao Hao quickly said: "Okay, don't worry. Although this is the first kiln, we have done a lot of experiments before."
"The temperature of the kiln fire is also precisely controlled."
"I don't think it will fail."
"Of course, no one can guarantee success without the kiln being officially opened."
Zhao Hao was at least 90% confident.
However, even with such high confidence and certainty, he couldn't help feeling uneasy.
There are three thousand pieces in total, and as long as more than half of them are finished, it will be considered a success.
After saying that, Zhao Hao asked the three to prepare for the ceremony, while he took a few craftsmen who specialized in fire control to inspect the porcelain kiln again.
Not long after, a large group headed by Jiang Wan'er arrived, and Zhao Hao immediately led everyone to meet them.
After the greetings, Jiang Wan'er stepped down from the imperial carriage and gave some words of encouragement to everyone.
Under the guidance of Zhao Hao, they came to the open space in front of the kiln.
After everyone was in their positions, the craftsmen were ready.
With Zhao Hao's order, the kiln was officially opened.
The sealed door of the porcelain kiln was opened, and waves of heat rushed towards them. Everyone tried their best to look inside through the kiln entrance.
Everyone wants to see clearly what's going on inside.
After waiting for a while, the workers came forward and carefully cleaned up the area around the kiln entrance.
At this time, Princess Yongning couldn't help but walk away from Jiang Wan'er and came to Zhao Hao.
"Zhao Hao, are you sure everything is OK?"
Zhao Hao knew what she was asking and whispered back, "There is no such thing as 100% accuracy in porcelain firing. No matter how experienced you are, it's useless."
“There is still a possibility of failure.”
Hearing this, Princess Yongning glanced at her sister Jiang Wan'er and the ministers behind her.
Then he asked anxiously, "If that's the case, then why did you hold a ceremony and invite the Imperial Sister and so many ministers to come?"
"Do you know how big the negative impact will be if you fail?"
Seeing her anxious look, Zhao Hao felt warm in his heart and smiled slightly, "It's okay, I have confidence."
"This is the first kiln after all, so it is of great significance."
"With the arrival of His Majesty and the officials, it will be of great benefit to the influence of porcelain and its subsequent sales."
Princess Yongning glared at him and said, "It's true that the benefits are huge, but the pressure is borne by you alone."
"Don't you think about what these people will say about you if I fail?"
"Don't forget how many people are watching you, hoping that you will make a big mistake!"
"I don't know if you are really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. Why do you have to endure this when it is obviously not beneficial to you at all?"
Zhao Hao felt a warm current flowing in his heart, and couldn't help but smile softly, then lowered his voice and said, "I'm not afraid that His Majesty will not grant us marriage!"
"We clearly agreed before that the decree granting marriage would be issued immediately after I was crowned."
"But how long has it been?"
Princess Yongning's pretty face turned red, and she immediately glared at Zhao Hao fiercely.
"What nonsense!"
"You want to die!"
Zhao Hao smiled, gave her a reassuring look, and said softly: "Don't worry, it will definitely succeed!"
"Just go back and wait and see!"
Princess Yongning curled her lips in annoyance and said, "Never mind you, success or failure has nothing to do with me!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked back to Jiang Wan'er.
Zhao Hao took a deep breath, looked at the cleaned kiln entrance, and gave instructions to the workers standing nearby.
A dozen fully armed workers were divided into two teams. Two people at the kiln entrance bent down and leaned in to start taking out the porcelain.
Then everyone saw the first piece of porcelain being taken out of the kiln.
This is a water-blue high-necked vase, with a bright and crystal-like color all over.
Absolutely beautiful.
The moment they saw the vase appear, everyone present let out an incredible exclamation.
Wang Mengyu excitedly grabbed Zhao Hao's arm.
"It's done!"
"Brother Hao, it's done!"
Zheng Zhiqian and Luo Bi, who were standing next to them, also felt relieved.
Not far away, Jiang Wan'er, who was sitting under an umbrella, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.
Princess Yongning, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Among the ministers behind the yellow dragon umbrella, Zhao Wenxiang was the same.
His solemn and serious expression finally relaxed after he saw the beautiful vase appear.
