"My esteemed guest, that big building up ahead is what building it is. It's a great place to entertain guests and have drinks, but if you want to book the whole place, the price is exorbitant, and most people can't afford it!"
"But the lanterns there are especially beautiful. Once night falls, thousands of lanterns light up, and the scenery... wow, even the Dragon Palace of the East Sea can't compare!"
Li Shimin curled his lip in disdain upon hearing this. If he hadn't been to Ziyun Tower before, he would have truly been fooled by this old man Hu.
"What, you don't believe me, sir?"
As Hu Delu spoke, he glanced at the sky and, seeing that it was gradually getting dark, he immediately shouted in the direction of Ziyun Tower.
"It's about time!"
"Light up!"
As soon as Hu Delu finished speaking, lanterns were lit one after another, instantly adorning the entire Ziyun Tower with magnificence and beauty.
Li Shimin stared wide-eyed at the lanterns radiating brilliant light, his face filled with disbelief.
"Is this a glass lamp?"
"You have a discerning eye, this is a glass lamp!"
Li Shimin was secretly startled upon hearing this. He glanced at the Ziyun Tower and saw that there were at least a thousand glass lamps hanging there!
No wonder Old Hu said that lighting up the lanterns was comparable to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea. Even the Dragon Palace of the East Sea couldn't find so many glass lanterns!
At this moment, Li Shimin had only one thought in his mind: Where did this grandson get so many glass lamps?
You should know that Taiji Palace is so big, yet it only has two glass lamps, one hanging in Lizheng Hall and the other in Ganlu Hall!
Now Li Jue has quietly produced so much without even offering any to him, the emperor, which has deeply hurt him!
"Your lord robbed the Dragon Palace of the East Sea?"
"What?"
"If he hadn't robbed the Dragon Palace, where would he have gotten so many glass lamps?"
"You mean this?"
"This thing isn't worth much; it's just something the idle guys in our village do for fun when they have nothing else to do!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately broke down. Such an exquisite and delicate glass lamp was actually made by the people of Sanglin Village?
"You're not kidding me, are you?"
"How could I, an old man, dare to deceive such an important person? This thing was truly taught to us by your grandson!"
"By the way, sir, you don't need this at home, do you?"
"Our first batch of glass lamps has all been given away. Old Mu and Old Yu both made quite a few, and you have so many that you can't fit them all at home..."
Li Shimin was even more distraught upon hearing this. Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde had both been rescued, but he, his own father-in-law, hadn't been rescued at all!
"Hmph!"
"Thank you for keeping me company, Old Hu. I have some things to attend to, so I'll have to go now..."
Li Shimin left after saying this, but as soon as he returned to the palace, he started smashing things.
First, he smashed the glass lamps hanging in the Ganlu Hall and the Lizheng Hall. Then, still not satisfied, he ran outside and summoned the commander of the Imperial Guards.
"Take a thousand Imperial Guards and grant me the title of Qujiang Pool!"
"Without my order, no one is permitted to enter Qujiang Pool!"
"Your Majesty, is Princess Jinyang not suitable either?"
"no!"
"promise!"
