"ah?"
Emperor Wen was stunned.
Is this for bathing?
This thing smells very similar to mooncake.
The floral scent is very strong.
Flowers must have been added during production.
How come it became a bathing place again?
Yun Zheng smiled slightly and explained, "Neither Luo Yan nor I know how to make mooncakes. We were afraid that the mooncakes we made randomly would be too unpalatable and would ruin the mood of the emperor and everyone else, so we picked something else and planned to present it to the emperor."
"A few days ago, my third brother came to my house and unexpectedly learned that Luoyan didn't know how to make mooncakes, so he specially helped me make one to avoid embarrassing me and Luoyan."
"But I dare not deceive my father, nor can I refuse my third brother's kindness, so I put the mooncake away and planned to take it back to eat. I still have the mooncake that my third brother gave me..."
...
...
Having said that, Yun Zheng hurried to get the mooncakes that Yun Li had sent.
Looking at the mooncake in Yun Zheng's hand, Emperor Wen frowned again.
Yun Ting's heart also jumped suddenly.
He suddenly realized that he might have fallen into a trap!
"You said this thing is for bathing, how do you use it?"
Emperor Wen asked, pointing at the soap in the box in front of him.
"Father, send someone to fetch a basin of water and we'll know."
Yun Zheng smiled.
Emperor Wen was about to ask someone to fetch water when Zhang Huai suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I know this soap."
"Um?"
Emperor Wen was surprised and asked, "Do you recognize this thing, Lord?"
"yes!"
Zhang Huai said with a smile: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, this thing was made by my useless grandson. He said that he could make this thing thanks to the Sixth Prince! That bastard gave me a box of soap. I have been using this soap to bathe and wash my face these past two days. It is really useful..."
Zhang Huai vividly described to Emperor Wen the benefits of using this thing for bathing or washing face.
It was rare for Zhang Xu to do something useful, and as a grandfather, it was a rare opportunity for him to feel proud of himself because of Zhang Xu, so naturally he had to speak well of him.
Emperor Wen was curious when he heard this and immediately asked someone to fetch some water.
Emperor Wen wanted to try it himself, but was stopped by his ministers.
We don't even know whether this thing is poisonous or not, so how can we let Emperor Wen try it himself?
Emperor Wen thought about it and let Mu Shun try it first.
When Mu Shun was trying, Shen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng in surprise.
This soap was actually made by him and Zhang Xu together?
Mu Shun tried the method Zhang Huai suggested and immediately said to Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty, this soap is really useful. It can easily wash away the stains on your face."
"oh?"
Emperor Wen was intrigued, "Then I must give it a try!"
Since Mu Shun had tried it, the ministers had no reason to stop him.
Mu Shun opened a new bar of soap for Emperor Wen.
When Emperor Wen tried it, the effect was surprisingly good.
It is much better than the bathing and face washing products in the palace.
"This soap is really good!"
Emperor Wen wiped the water off his face, smiled again, and immediately asked Yun Zheng: "Did you really make this soap with Zhang Xu?"
Yun Zheng shook his head slightly: "I just gave Zhang Xu a rough idea of the method I read in that ancient book. The main credit goes to Zhang Xu."
"I see!"
Emperor Wen nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Yun Ting again, "You are always trying to make trouble for your sixth brother, so you are unhappy, right?"
"Father, calm down!"
Yun Ting's face changed drastically, and he said in panic: "Your son... Your son absolutely did not mean that. Your son just didn't want your sixth brother to deceive father, so..."
"Shut up! Stop embarrassing me!"
Emperor Wen suppressed his anger and interrupted Yun Ting, "If I didn't want to ruin today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I would have to teach you a lesson!"
"I admit my guilt!"
Yun Ting retreated tremblingly, but his heart was filled with rage.
Got tricked!
The third and sixth brothers teamed up to trick him!
They must have staged this drama on purpose and then had someone tell their own people!
They just want me to make my father unhappy!
These two bastards!
They really got together?
After yelling at Yun Ting to leave, Emperor Wen looked up at Yun Li again: “Third Brother!”
"I am guilty, please punish me, father!"
Yun Li immediately knelt down and apologized.
"Father, Third Brother also has good intentions. Please don't blame him."
Yun Zheng immediately spoke up to plead for Yun Li.
The deep brotherly love between the two of them stunned everyone.
Yun Zheng almost kicked Yun Li’s butt to pieces!
Before this, the two of them were almost incompatible!
Now, we have become good brothers?
This is too unreal.
"Alright! Get up!"
Emperor Wen looked at his two sons with satisfaction, and then said to Yun Li, "Since you have good intentions, I will not pursue the matter! This will not happen again!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Yun Li bowed quickly, feeling both happy and sad.
The result was just as he expected.
Although my father didn't say anything on the surface, he was actually very happy!
Today, not only did he win the favor of his father, but he also took the opportunity to plot against Yun Ting. It was really killing two birds with one stone!
But this result was obtained in exchange for one hundred thousand taels of silver!
Thinking about the 100,000 taels of silver, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Okay, share these mooncakes!"
Emperor Wen waved his hand to signal the eunuchs and palace maids, and then said to Yun Zheng: "Although you didn't present mooncakes today, I like this soap very much, so I don't blame you!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Yun Zheng bowed to express his gratitude.
Emperor Wen nodded slightly, and then said to Shen Luoyan: "Your hands are indeed not for making mooncakes. You must protect Lao Liu well! Don't let me down!"
"yes!"
Shen Luoyan nodded slightly.
Soon, everyone got some mooncakes.
Next, it was time to drink and have fun.
In the midst of excitement, Emperor Wen asked Yun Li again: "Third Brother, you were the one who planned this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but didn't you ask anyone to prepare some singing and dancing or anything else to liven up the atmosphere?"
"I am indeed not prepared."
Yun Li stood up and said respectfully, "I was going to order people to prepare some songs and dances to liven up the party, but when I thought of my sixth brother's upcoming trip to Shuobei, I gave up the idea! I have an unwelcome request, and I beg Father to grant it!"
"Speak!"
Emperor Wen looked at Yun Li expectantly.
Yun Li’s recent performance made him very satisfied.
Yun Li took a deep breath and said with a firm look, "My sixth brother and his wife are about to go to Shuobei. I beg you to give them a farewell banquet today!"
Farewell!
Upon hearing Yun Li's words, Emperor Wen was overjoyed.
OK!
very good!
This is the bearing that a prince should have!
Although Emperor Wen was happy, he did not show it and even pretended to be thoughtful.
After a moment, Emperor Wen nodded slightly and said, "Okay! Considering your deep brotherly love, I approve! Today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet will be held by me and the others on behalf of the Sixth Brother and his wife!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Yun Li was even happier, and immediately took out two amulets from his sleeve pocket and came to Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan, "Sixth brother, sister-in-law, you are about to go to Shuobei, and I don't have anything good to give you. These are the amulets I asked for in the temple. May these amulets keep you safe and return in triumph!"
Ping... amulet of peace?
When Yun Zheng saw the gift Yun Li sent, he almost jumped up and cursed.
You want to kill me all the time, why do I need your amulet?
What I want is a valuable gift!
Yun Li!
You're just destroying the bridge after crossing it, aren't you?
Are you trying to play dirty with me?
OK!
Since you are reluctant to pluck the hair, don't blame me for turning the table!
