The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons
Chapter 163: Judging by deeds, not heart, a great man
When the emperor received the news, his expression remained unchanged, and he only asked one more question: "Is the Eleventh Princess still playing now?"
Huang Kang's expression was a little subtle, but he still gave an affirmative answer.
The emperor thought for a while and then said, "She is still young. It's not a big deal for her to like playing in the mud. Just ask the palace servants to take care of her and make sure nothing happens."
Huang Kang quickly responded.
In fact, even if the emperor didn't say anything, the palace servants who took care of Li Qingyi would not dare to neglect her.
The emperor was thinking in his heart that the last time Li Qingyi played in the mud was to make honeycomb coal. Even now it is summer, honeycomb coal has been produced steadily because of daily needs. This business may seem small, but in fact, in the long run, it will not lose money as long as no one does anything weird.
If it were someone else, after the emperor received the news, he would definitely be a little angry, if nothing else - royal etiquette is taught to princes and princesses since they are old enough to know affairs. Some things that ordinary children do at this age would be considered disrespectful and wrong in the royal family.
But this person is Li Qingyi, which is a different matter.
Emperor: My daughter must have her reasons for doing this!
stop?
No need!
In the eyes of the emperor, his youngest daughter, his eleventh princess, has behaved exceptionally since birth and is not the kind of naughty child who does not know the limits. He only needs to make sure that his daughter will not be led astray by others. As for the rest, she can do whatever she wants!
If it was just for fun, then it didn't matter. There were palace servants watching, and Li Qingyi wouldn't eat the mud while playing.
If it's not just for fun, that would be even better. Everything Li Qingyi has done so far is enough to make the emperor believe that she will not do anything to harm the country or the court. That's enough.
Otherwise, the emperor didn't have so many requirements.
This is his daughter, a treasure that he wishes he could hold in his arms all day long. He doesn't have many demands on her.
Of course, if the prince was placed in Li Qingyi's position, the situation would be completely different.
On the other side, the prince, who had also received the news, was silent for a moment and asked his adviser: "This is the second time. Could it be that there are so many mysteries in this mud?"
The counselor thought that the prince would at least try to stop him. After all, it was a bit unbecoming for a royal princess to play with mud during her rest time.
But unexpectedly, the prince did not think there was anything wrong with his sister's behavior. Instead, he started to think in the wrong direction and started to ponder the knowledge in the mud.
Counselor: "..."
What can a counselor do? A counselor can only...
Advisor: "There is indeed a lot of knowledge in mud. Your Highness, look, aren't the porcelains we often use also made of mud? Princess Eleven is like this now, maybe she has similar ideas."
As for what Li Qingyi wants to do?
We dare not say, we dare not ask.
Prince: "Come to think of it, wasn't there news earlier that Wang Xuan hired a few porcelain craftsmen with a large sum of money and set up a place on the outskirts of the city to do something? I don't know what they are doing."
Because of Li Qingyi and Li Zhu, the prince is also more concerned about Wang Xuan.
However, because of the way things are in this world, there are differences between men and women, and the prince has a special status, so whether for the prince himself or for Wang Xuan, he would not show it openly, but just ask people to inquire privately.
This is not a big deal, after all, Wang Xuan has a good relationship with Li Qingyi. The prince can use Li Qingyi as an excuse to pay a little attention to her, and it will not arouse suspicion from others.
After all, it was no secret that the prince valued his sister.
After hearing what the prince said, the counselor hesitated for a moment before saying, "Several pieces of colored glassware came out of Shopkeeper Wang's place before. They were good in both style and quality. But judging from what Shopkeeper Wang said, that was not what she wanted."
Only a few people in the know knew the details of Wang Xuan's tinkering with glass, while others only saw that she hired someone to set up a workshop, which she had been working on from last year to this year. It was said that she had built several furnaces of various types, but it was hard to tell what she was doing with them.
Li Qingyi knew what Wang Xuan wanted to do. She wanted to get the glass window out first.
In fact, glass has been made, but there is a difference between glass and flat glass. Clean and transparent flat glass requires overcoming some technical difficulties.
Even though we got the recipe from Li Qingyi, there were still many things to be worked out due to technical limitations.
Fortunately, what Wang Xuan has produced so far can already generate income for her industry, so there is no need to invest endlessly without any return, so the situation is not too bad.
Regarding this matter, Wang Xuan had a vague feeling a month ago that he might not be able to sustain the glass industry in the future, so he decisively sent this group of people to the emperor. Now, although those people are hired by Wang Xuan on the surface, they are actually hired by the emperor.
Once they successfully make glass windows that meet Wang Xuan's minimum requirements, those craftsmen will be formally employed and will work exclusively for the royal family.
The prince also knew about this matter.
However, although he knew the truth, the prince knew his limits. He also knew that Wang Xuan was now in the hands of her biological father. He could pay some attention to her under the pretext of caring about his sister, but not more than that.
It is easy to cause misunderstanding.
It could be the emperor's misunderstanding or someone else's misunderstanding.
Therefore, the best situation is to maintain the current status, do what the emperor asks you to do, listen and see what else you do, and don't do anything unnecessary.
The prince said to his adviser, "Hey, this shopkeeper Wang is very young, but she is an expert in business. She also abides by the rules and always pays taxes on her own initiative. If every merchant is like her, it will save the court a lot of trouble."
The counselor was silent.
Well, Prince, you can only think about what I said.
He admitted that the shopkeeper, Wang Xuan, was indeed more open and disciplined than other businessmen. At least when it came to doing business, he would always take the initiative to pay the taxes to the government, and he also kept a strict control over his subordinates. He had never cheated on anyone with less weight, and he never raised the price arbitrarily.
Although he had not spent much time with the shopkeeper Wang, the counselor intuitively felt that Wang Xuan was essentially a decent and kind person, judging from the few times he had appeared in the limelight - decent in that he did not use any underhanded means, and kind in that he had done many good things since arriving in the capital.
Oh, and after establishing the Chamber of Commerce, a charitable foundation was set up.
Regardless of whether they have used this incident to gain fame, at least they have contributed money and effort. Judging from their actions rather than their intentions, Wang Xuan's appearance in the capital until now is worthy of praise as a great kind person, and her actions are impeccable.
But let others be like Wang Xuan...
