Chapter 872 My Wife’s Hands Are Not Hands
Minister Tao dared not compete with the little princess, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, His Highness is smart and has his own ideas when encountering things. Although he is a little childish, every word he says is precious. I think it makes a lot of sense."
Emperor Mingpei smiled and shook his head, saying, "Xinbao, let me ask you, when the demonstration is on stage later, will you not open the door? What does Yeye think then?"
Xinbao hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened the door a little bit.
Someone below heard the sound and looked up, and frightened Xinbao quickly closed the door again.
Yuan Shenjue saw that her little paws were still grabbing the door, so he quickly stretched out his hand to block it. The door hit his palm and bounced back.
Xinbao was startled: "Wife!!"
Yuan Shenjue shook his head: "It's okay, I..."
Xinbao raised his hands high, pulled his hands into his arms, and cried out distressedly: "Wife, does it hurt?"
Yuan Shenjue smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt. I have internal energy."
Xinbao blinked his eyes and warned earnestly: "Even if you have internal energy, you must be careful. Don't do this next time."
Yuan Shenjue smiled and said, "I understand."
Emperor Mingpei: “Haha!”
Seeing that they didn't care, Duanhe Prince also tried to joke: "If your wife doesn't stretch out her hand, she might squeeze your hand, what should you do then?"
Xinbao said without hesitation: "Then you'd rather squeeze Xinbao's hand! My wife's hands are very precious. My wife's hands are not hands, but weeping willows in March..."
Yuan Shenjue: “……???”
Prince Duanhe almost died of laughter and his face turned red.
Then he stretched out his hand and asked, "What is that Uncle Six's hand?"
Emperor Mingpei looked at his son as if he were a fool.
Xinbao was silent for a while, then smiled foolishly: "It seems like the next part is about to start, Xinbao heard Qingju's voice!"
She jumped off the stool and opened the door.
Lin Qingju had indeed arrived, but he was not the host. Instead, it was an official from the Ministry of Rites. He was just sitting in the audience, representing the little princess. It was enough for him to just bow when his name was introduced.
Then each craftsman came on stage to show off their masterpieces.
The Ministry of Rites did a really good job. The whole format was a bit like an auction. The first thing on display was a bronze lamp with a goose and fish. It was made into the posture of a goose looking back with a fish in its mouth. The shape was beautiful and graceful, with feathers painted in lacquer and eyeballs made of gems. No matter how it was turned, the lamp plate remained flat and no smoke escaped at all. It was said to last for a hundred years.
After the display... the cool things will come, and someone will carry the things upstairs.
At this time, everyone realized that a platform had been added to the railing at some point. It was originally on the outside, but it turned inward and was inside. Then the copper lamp was placed on it, and the platform slowly moved forward along the railing so that everyone in the private room could see it one by one.
Xinbao is actually very curious too.
But she couldn’t see into the room from downstairs, and if she walked to the railing, everyone would be able to see her, so she resisted the urge to go over.
Minister Tao comforted him in a low voice: "Your Highness, these are all presented by the craftsmen. If you want to see them, you can wait until later."
Xinbao nodded and praised him quietly: "Master Tao is really amazing."
Minister Tao repeatedly said he dared not.
The railing is disconnected, and someone will connect it in the middle, and it will go around in a circle. Then railings will be added at the bottom, and the same procedure will be followed.
Then there was the wooden cat, which looked almost the same as a real cat at first glance. It would even squat down when you touched it, which was really fun to watch.
Later, there were ivory-carved ball sets, versatile boxes, and so on, and there were several more.
The last performance was the Mujia Yiling. As expected, she had a voice. No one knew where the person who provided the singing was hidden. Even Xinbao, who had seen it many times, still felt that it looked like a real person. The people watching were even more amazed.
The meeting was over after about half an hour, and the officials from the Ministry of Rites saw everyone out. These people were shocked, and as soon as they walked out of the door, they started talking loudly.
Marquis Gongke also went out with the crowd, talking to people with a smile, and just walked along the way.
Emperor Mingpei and his entourage also returned to the palace.
For Xinbao, nothing happened, and he didn't hear any interesting remarks. He just returned peacefully.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
However, after returning to the palace, Lord Tao sent all these things over, and Xinbao got what he wanted and kept touching them.
Judging from its appearance, the wooden kitten is no different from a real kitten, even its eyes are lively, but in fact, if you touch it, you will find that it is hard inside.
But it is indeed made with great skill. Not only can it raise its head and squat, it can also catch mice, and its pounce movements are very similar to those of a real cat.
The versatile box is also very magical. It is a travel box. On the surface, it looks like a book box, but in fact it can be used as a bed, a table and chair. After it is folded, it can hold some small items such as clothes and soap beans, making the best use of the space.
It's really fun, but actually useless.
Because this kind of box is expensive and easy to break, those who can afford it can't afford to stay in an inn?
Even if you are really traveling in the wilderness, you dare not sleep in bed so openly, otherwise this bed is not a bed, but a dining hall for jackals, tigers and leopards.
Xinbao was watching there while Minister Tao did it himself, introducing things to her while he was doing it. In fact, he was just taking the opportunity to please the little princess. After all, although he was not young anymore, he was still handsome. Only a fool would not take the opportunity to please the little princess since she liked him very much at the moment.
But he did put in some effort. After all, this matter should have been the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry. They were just hosting a party, but they actually knew how to play all of them and were quite skilled at them.
Xinbao was very excited. He played with all of them several times in one breath. His nose was sweating. Then he stopped and drank a cup of tea with Minister Tao.
She sat on the box and chatted with Minister Tao, "Master Tao, why are all the things this time so childish?"
Minister Tao had heard about the little princess' temper a long time ago, so he didn't dare to answer in a coaxing way, so he said seriously: "In fact, it's not just that. I heard that the things presented recently are mostly toys, mostly suitable for children to play with. This is probably because the people below are considering giving her what she likes."
Xinbao was surprised and asked, "Catering to his taste? Do you think Xinbao will like it?"
Minister Tao smiled awkwardly, but Xinbao was not convinced: "But Xinbao is a very mature Xinbao, and never likes to play with such childish things."
Minister Tao certainly didn't dare to say that you were immature when you were playing just now, so he just smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. This kind of thing needs a process. Craftsmanship has never been valued by people. Now, although there are county lords and Congshan county earls, the world is so big that it will take at least several months for craftsmen from all over the country to hear the news. For officials from all over the country, they will also make some guesses about this, so they will tend to send toys first. In other words, they will first please the little prince."
He secretly raised his eyes and saw that the little princess was listening attentively, so he continued: "Because if it is what the little princess likes, it will be the fastest. For example, things related to farming and people's livelihood, even if they are useful, it will take time to verify..."
