The reason why Yu Chaoen was so careful was that the Medicinal Jade Mirror was too precious. Moreover, Yang Yuhuan had specifically asked for it. If it was broken, his future would be ruined.
Of course, if he knew that the Medicinal Jade Mirror didn't cost much to make, and didn't need rare materials, it was just a very ordinary thing, and he could make another one at any time, he might not be so nervous.
In addition, Ang Lee had said that the Medicinal Jade Mirror was fragile. It was afraid of bumps and hard objects. However, he couldn't tell how fragile it was. After all, he had never broken it with his own hands. Of course, he didn't know the strength of the mirror. Therefore, he tried his best to be careful.
Compared with breaking the mirror, it wasn't too serious to let Yang Yuhuan wait for a while. As long as the mirror was good and Yang Yuhuan was happy, it was enough.
"Yu Chaoen, why have you been gone for so long? My wife is waiting anxiously."
Gao Lishi was ordered to go to greet him. When he met Yu Chaoen, he complained to him.
"General, Assistant Minister Li said that the Medicinal Jade Mirror is very fragile. It can't be bumped or touched by hard objects. Therefore, for safety's sake, I walked slowly."
Yu Chaoen explained truthfully.
"Well, hurry up and send it over! Don't let my wife wait any longer. "
Gao Lishi urged and turned around to report the news.
"Slow down, be careful. We're already in the palace. Nothing can happen."
Although he knew that Yang Yuhuan was waiting anxiously, in order to ensure that the Medicinal Jade Mirror was intact, Yu Chaoen still asked his subordinates to walk slowly to avoid breaking the Medicinal Jade Mirror.
In the hall of the harem, Yang Yuhuan was chatting with Li Longji. When she saw Gao Lishi come in, she asked hurriedly, "How is it? Is there any news?"
"My wife, the Medicinal Jade Mirror has been transported into the palace and is on its way here."
Gao Lishi hurriedly said.
"Saburo, you're lying. You said that I could see the Medicinal Jade Mirror as tall as a person early this morning, but it's almost noon now. Ah Man has waited for an entire morning for this Medicinal Jade Mirror."
Yang Yuhuan said in a coquettish voice. In order to wait for the Medicinal Jade Mirror as tall as a person, she paced back and forth in the room again and again. She took out Li Yu and Li Yu's small mirrors to admire herself........ She imagined what the effect..... After all, if the mirror was too small, it would only show her face, but not her entire body.......
"Ah Man, isn't it all here? ..... haha!................
Although he had to wait a little longer, the mirror had already arrived, and that was enough.
.... What is Yu?....... .. is.................
. "After waiting for a while, the Medicinal Jade Mirror still hadn't arrived. Li Longji said angrily.
"Everyone, Yu Chaoen said that the Medicinal Jade Mirror is too delicate. He was afraid that it would be damaged, so he walked a little slowly. The palace is only so big, so we should arrive soon."
"Everyone, my wife, the Medicinal Jade Mirror has arrived. It's just outside the hall. Should we move it in now?"
Yu Chaoen felt that he had made a great contribution, and his face was full of joy.
"You've made my wife wait for an entire morning. Hurry up and move it in."
Li Longji's stern reprimand made Yu Chaoen's heart turn cold.
"Yes, everyone."
Yu Chaoen hurriedly walked out of the hall and ordered everyone to move the Medicinal Jade Mirror into the hall. As they moved it in, he reminded everyone to be careful not to damage the Medicinal Jade Mirror.
"Everyone, there are two Medicinal Jade Mirrors as tall as a person, six Medicinal Jade Mirrors as tall as half a person, and dozens of small mirrors of different sizes."
Yu Chaoen softly introduced the Medicinal Jade Mirrors that were neatly arranged in a row.
"Saburo, this Assistant Minister Li really is a talent. He actually managed to make a Medicinal Jade Mirror as tall as a person. Let me take a look. What do you think?"
Yang Yuhuan impatiently walked over to the Medicinal Jade Mirror. She was instantly petrified. She was stunned by her own peerless appearance.
Li Longji gently walked over. When he saw Yang Yuhuan and himself in the mirror, he immediately felt that he had grown old. He was a little disappointed, but when he saw Yang Yuhuan's happy appearance, his disappointment instantly disappeared, and he happily smiled.
A person's aging was irreversible, and Li Longji was no exception. He understood this point, so he didn't feel sad about aging. With such a beautiful woman like Yang Yuhuan by his side, he didn't feel old at all.
"Saburo, these Medicinal Jade Mirrors are really good. Ah Man really likes them."
Yang Yuhuan threw a coquettish glance at Li Longji. Her meaning was very clear. She wanted to have these Medicinal Jade Mirrors.
"Hahaha! Man Man, you can choose any of these Medicinal Jade Mirrors you like. "
Li Longji generously said.
Yang Yuhuan looked left and right. No matter which one she liked, she really didn't know how to choose.
"Saburo, I really like all these Medicinal Jade Mirrors."
She said in a coquettish tone.
"Ah Man, there are so many. How can you use them all? Pick the best ones!"
Li Longji didn't agree. There were too many Medicinal Jade Mirrors. It was clearly inappropriate to give them all to Yang Yuhuan. Besides, Yang Yuhuan didn't need so many Medicinal Jade Mirrors.
"Saburo, can I pick a few more?"
Li Longji smiled and generously said: "There are only two mirrors as tall as a person. I'll let you pick first. As for the remaining one, I'll keep it for myself. There are six half mirrors as tall as a person. I'll let you pick two. How about it?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Yuhuan happily thanked him. There were only two Medicinal Jade Mirrors as tall as a person. She and Li Longji would each have one. How could she not be happy? Moreover, she could have two of the six medium sized Medicinal Jade Mirrors. Needless to say, Li Longji would also keep two. Thus, she could only give the other concubines two Medicinal Jade Mirrors as tall as a person. As for the smaller ones, she would also casually take a few to make it convenient to carry around.
Yang Yuhuan was very happy to get so many Medicinal Jade Mirrors at once. Especially the one as tall as a person. It could reflect her whole body.
It was a woman's nature to love beauty. After getting these mirrors, Yang Yuhuan couldn't wait to admire her own figure.
Although there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, she had just started to come into contact with the Medicinal Jade Mirrors. Her interest was very strong. Of course, she would fall into a state of obsession and be unable to extricate herself.
"Saburo, with this Medicinal Jade Mirror, you can completely see yourself. When Ah Man was very young, she had a dream. She wanted to see her own appearance clearly one day. Now, this dream has finally come true. I'm very happy."
As Yan Ruyu spoke, she began to dance in front of the mirror as tall as a person.
Li Longji's interest was also piqued. He stepped forward to hold Yang Yuhuan's hands and danced with Yang Yuhuan.
While Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji were celebrating, Li Yu and Li Qiu were hiding behind two rocks behind a fake mountain in the Imperial Palace. They were using the binoculars that Ang Lee had given them to observe the scenery in the distance.
The so-called scenery they were observing was a beauty in a pavilion. This beauty was none other than Li Longji's Consort Mei, Jiang Caiping.
There weren't many historical records about this Jiang Caiping. Even the title of Consort Mei had been removed.
However, this person really did exist. Moreover, she was an extremely talented woman. She was born in a scholarly family and had studied poetry from her father since she was young. At the age of nine, she could already recite two of King Wen's poetry collections. At the age of fourteen, she was already proficient in reciting poems. She was comparable to the talented woman of the Jin Dynasty, Xie Daoyun. In addition, apart from poetry, she was also proficient in the four arts. Her talent wasn't inferior to any man's.
The reason why Jiang Caiping was called Consort Mei was because she liked plum blossoms. This was also the title that Li Longji had personally bestowed upon her.
When she was young, many people said that Jiang Caiping's future would be indescribable. Later on, Gao Lishi invited Jiang Caiping into the Imperial Palace for the Xuanzong Beauty Contest.
With her outstanding beauty and extraordinary talent, Jiang Caiping quickly won Li Longji's favor. He even named one of the pavilions in the Imperial Palace 'Plum Pavilion' and the pavilion among the flowers' Plum Pavilion '. From this, one could see how much he doted on her.
However, men were all fickle in love. This was especially true for an experienced man like Li Longji. After doting on Jiang Caiping for many years, he grew tired of her. As a result, he took a fancy to his own daughter-in-law, Yang Yuhuan.
Of course, this was mainly because classical beauties like Jiang Caiping were arrogant because of their talents. They were a little restrained and could not satisfy Li Longji to his heart's content. In other words, they were not flirtatious enough.
On the other hand, Yang Yuhuan was not only plump and fleshy, but also flirtatious and fleshy in that aspect. She could make Li Longji drunk and gradually alienate Jiang Caiping. He was more willing to be with Yang Yuhuan.
In other words, Jiang Caiping was a slim and graceful beauty, like a fairy in a painting. She was suitable to be admired from afar. On the other hand, Yang Yuhuan was fleshy and more suitable to be doted on and played with.
At this moment, although Yang Yuhuan was favored, she had not been conferred the title of Imperial Consort. Jiang Caiping had not completely fallen out of favor either. It was just that the number of times Li Longji doted on her was decreasing. At least, she was still Consort Mei, a noble consort in the harem.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, will we be discovered?"
Li Qiu watched for a while and hurriedly put away the binoculars and asked nervously.
Li Yu was watching intently. He waved his hand and said, "Fourth Brother, we are imperial grandchildren. Even if we are discovered, which imperial guard would dare to touch us?"
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, we have been watching for a long time. Haven't you seen enough?"
Li Qiu was already feeling aesthetic fatigue. He could not watch any longer and sat down on a rock to rest.
"Sigh! Consort Mei frowned slightly and looked very sad. It was really moving. What a pity, what a pity! "
Li Yu clicked his tongue and sighed. Since he had the binoculars, how could he not go to the palace to peek? The promise he made in front of Ang Lee was just an excuse. Otherwise, it would be a waste to have such a good thing.
In addition, Jiang Caiping could be considered Li Yu's stepmother. She was two generations older than Li Yu. However, Li Yu watched with great interest. This also reflected the style of the old Li family.
After all, there were so many role models in front of him. Li Yu married his stepmother, Wu Zetian. Li Longji stole his own daughter-in-law, Yang Yuhuan. Since his senior had such lustful genes, how could Li Yu not inherit some?
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, this is His Majesty's Consort Mei. I am a little scared. If someone finds out, we …"
Li Qiu was younger and appeared very nervous.
"Don't worry, it will be fine. We will be careful. Sigh, do you know why Consort Mei is so sad?"
Li Yu felt that he was hiding very well and there was no one nearby. He would not be discovered at all.
"I don't know."
Li Qiu replied casually.
"Fourth Brother, you often go in and out of the harem. Don't tell me you don't know what is going on in the palace! Now that His Majesty favors Yang Taizhen, Consort Mei has fallen out of favor. Once a woman in the harem loses His Majesty's favor, what is the point of living? Sigh! "
Li Yu shook his head inwardly. In his opinion, how could Yang Yuhuan, that fat girl, be more beautiful than Jiang Caiping? However, His Majesty liked Yang Yuhuan more. There was nothing he could do about it.
"Fourth Brother, let's go. Consort Mei has seen us. Oh no, oh no."
Li Yu was frowning while admiring the beauty. Unexpectedly, Consort Mei suddenly raised her head and looked at him.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, Consort Mei is so far away. She can't have seen us."
"Fourth Brother, don't talk nonsense. Let's go!"
Li Yu and Li Qiu put away the binoculars and quietly ran away.
Jiang Caiping felt a strong light suddenly shoot from the north. However, when she looked carefully at the light, it suddenly disappeared in the direction of the rockery in the distance.
"Why is there suddenly a beam of light? Am I seeing things?"
Jiang Caiping didn't suspect that she was being peeped on. She just glanced at the light, but it scared Li Yu away. Perhaps this was what it meant to have a guilty conscience!
In fact, everyone had the desire to peep. This was also the reason why live streaming was so popular in the future. In the age group, the desire to peep was the strongest and most intense during puberty. This was because it was the age of restlessness.
"Fourth Brother, do you know why I want to rely on Consort Mei?"
After running to a safe place, Li Yu said breathlessly.
"I don't know."
"Because Zhenzhu said that Consort Mei is the most beautiful woman in the palace, even more beautiful than her. However, I never dared to look at her closely. Today, I finally looked carefully. Zhenzhu didn't lie to me. Consort Mei is really beautiful, as beautiful as my Zhenzhu."
Li Yu said in a pleased tone.
Although he was only 17 years old, he got married very early. The Zhenzhu he mentioned was his concubine, Li Yu. She was from a good family who was selected to enter the Eastern Palace. She was given to Li Yu by Crown Prince Li Yu. She even gave birth to a son for Li Yu a year ago, who later became Tang Dezong, Li Shi.
Shen Zhenzhu was a very beautiful woman, and she was loved by Li Yu. At least for now, she was Li Yu's treasure. She was a concubine who was doted on almost every day. Li Yu took the risk to peep at Jiang Caiping because Shen Zhenzhu accidentally said that Consort Mei in the palace was more beautiful than her. Moreover, her talent was far better than his. This made Li Yu curious.
