"We are going to Liulichang and want to have a bowl of noodles here."

"Liulichang? Eh? You're not going to see the glazed tiles, are you?"

The Liulichang produces some new products every year, so in Fengqi there are not only many ceramic shops for people to choose from, but glass products are also extremely popular.

Glass cups, glass cups, glass plates, glass bowls. Glass dishes, glass jars, glass spoons, glass bottles. Not only pots and pans were made of glass, but even hairpins were made of glass. These were highly sought after by beggars.

The latest glass product that has just been produced recently is glazed tiles. Many people have not used this thing yet, and they are not allowed to use it casually. The first and foremost use of these glazed tiles is to build a glazed tower for Lingchen Temple. It is said that the entire tower body is built with glazed tiles. Obviously, the new things produced by this glazed factory are not just glazed tiles. Glazed bricks are probably also born out of the glazed tower.

Cheng Feng looked at the excited Cang Man and asked, "You don't want to replace the glazed tiles on your house, do you?"

Before glazed tiles were even released, many high-ranking officials and nobles were already thinking about switching to glazed tiles. However, the unpretentious Cang Man really had no such idea. "My small courtyard is not even as valuable as glazed tiles, so why would I want to change to glazed tiles? It's our boss Qian who really likes glazed tiles and praises them highly."

Cheng Feng said sympathetically, "It's useless even if Boss Qian likes it. I just got in line. If he wants to change to glazed tiles, he'll have to wait."

"Is Prince Pang's Palace also going to have its glazed tiles replaced? Boss Qian said the Emperor is renovating the palace and has had a large number of bricks and tiles prefabricated at the Liuli Factory. How did you get in?"

Wan Lianxing originally wanted to start a large-scale construction project, but later changed his mind. Now, no matter who tries to persuade him, he remains unwavering in his determination, always saying that managing the refugees is his top priority. Cheng Feng couldn't figure out his uncle, "Your information is unreliable. My uncle has devoted all his energy to managing the refugees, so how could he have the time to repair the palace?"

"Oh? That's not right. This morning I heard Boss Qian say that the Liuli Factory was working overtime to make glass for the emperor. The colors are so bright... so flashy." Cangman lowered his voice when he said the last sentence.

"Oh, don't talk nonsense, or the emperor will punish you for disrespect. The batch of brightly colored glazed tiles you mentioned are not for my uncle to renovate the palace. Those lively and bright glazed tiles are pre-made for the prince's mansion."

"What? Prefabricated glazed tiles for the Prince's Mansion?" Cangman was skeptical. "I heard that the entire imperial city was dug up during the last few days since the Prince disappeared. Under such circumstances, the Emperor is still going to replace the glazed tiles for the Prince's Mansion? Is this true?"

The chopsticks in Cheng Youning's hand also stopped in mid-air. He himself was a little bit unbelievable when he heard this. He looked at Cheng Feng in confusion. He wanted to know whether the good news his father said was true or not.

Cheng Feng raised his hand and touched Cheng Youning's head, then said with a smile: "The emperor ordered the construction of the prince's mansion, this is not true!"

Hearing this, Cheng Youning's little mouth opened a little wider, and his eyes turned into a pair of crescent moons. His mood was visibly getting better and better.

Cangman was eloquently explaining his point of view, "I thought the emperor would be furious when the prince returned, giving him fifty lashes at least. I didn't expect the emperor to go against his will and actually replace the glazed tiles for the runaway prince and rebuild the prince's mansion. It was totally unexpected."

Cheng Youning immediately corrected Cangman's words: "This prince is not running away from home, this prince is traveling."

Cangman continued his analysis, "Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was traveling, he left without a word, causing the entire imperial city to panic and search for you. You should be punished accordingly. What kind of temper does our beggar emperor have? Who has he ever indulged? I thought the Crown Prince had to be beaten. What was the Emperor thinking? Not only did he not beat the Crown Prince, he also wanted to replace your glazed tiles. How abnormal."

Cheng Feng laughed out loud when he heard this. Perhaps all the civil and military officials of the dynasty thought so, but no one could guess Wan Lianxing's thoughts this time. Between severe punishment and keeping the peace, Wan Lianxing chose to keep the peace.

Cheng Feng said something that shocked Cangman even more, "This is just the beginning. The emperor is going to build a hot spring for Youning in the prince's mansion."

"Hot spring? We haven't even had one in Fengqi yet. The Emperor wants to build one for a nine-year-old prince. Isn't this too much indulgence for the prince?"

Cheng Youning was so happy that his eyes were almost squinting. He didn't expect his grandfather loved him so much. Thinking of those brightly colored glazed tiles, Cheng Youning didn't want to eat the mutton noodles in his bowl anymore. He wanted to open his eyes immediately to see what the glazed tiles looked like.

At Cheng Youning's urging, several people put down their bowls and chopsticks and rushed to Liulichang. There were still three of them in the group.

There are kilns everywhere in Liulichang, quartz stones are piled up like mountains, and there are countless workers, but not a single idle person can be seen.

Cheng Feng took Cheng Youning and Chen Qingsheng to find Mo Haiyao with ease. Cheng Feng looked inside through the carved window frame and the thick glass. Mo Haiyao was working at his desk, drawing a picture. Cheng Feng knocked on the glass with his knuckles. Mo Haiyao turned around and saw three people outside the window.

Mo Haiyao's eyebrows lit up with joy. He put down the pen in his hand and hurried out to greet them. After exchanging a few words, he went into the house to greet them. Then he ordered his servant, "Guyu, go make some tea."

Guyu, who had followed Mo Haiyao for many years, had also gained a lot of experience by traveling around with Mo Haiyao, but he was still the same Guyu who could only serve tea. When he saw that it was an acquaintance or a distinguished guest of his young master, he hurried to take out a set of tea sets that their young master had just made, and also found the Mingqian tea that the emperor had given to Mo Haiyao.

Looking at the exquisite tea sets, each of them touching the tea bowls and unable to let go, Cheng Youning asked Mo Haiyao: "Uncle Mo, why does this glass look so similar to the glass you make?"

Mo Haiyao laughed out loud, "Your Highness, this is actually glass."

"Glass?" Cheng Youning looked at the small pieces of glass on the window and asked Mo Haiyao, "Uncle Mo, isn't glass flat? How can it be made into tea bowls and teapots?"

Mo Haiyao looked at the tea set he had made with his own hands and was not satisfied. "Uncle Mo, you still can't make a teapot out of glass. This teapot is made of colored glaze, and these four tea bowls are made of glass."

Cheng Youning looked at the small glass tea bowl and became interested. "Uncle Momo, I want a set of glass tea bowls."

Mo Haiyao knew that the child had to take something from him. "There are so many products that have been fired, and there are countless defective products. The prince can choose what he likes."
