Looking at the greedy eyes of these ladies, Li Yi had goosebumps all over his body. It was as if he was being stared at by a pack of hungry wolves.
He realized that he had done something stupid. He had greatly underestimated the attractiveness of these shiny things to women.
He turned to look at Li Xuan and said solemnly, "Three, two, one, get ready …"
Li Xuan was puzzled and asked, "What? What are you counting?"
"Run!"
By the time he said this word, Li Yi's body had already disappeared. There was only a flash of a shadow at the door.
Finally realizing that something was wrong, Li Xuan, who wanted to run away, didn't even have time to take a step before his arm was grabbed and pulled back.
Countless graceful figures surrounded him and all kinds of fragrances began to stimulate his sense of smell.
"Prince Li Xuan, what is that …"
"I, I don't know." Li Xuan's face was pale and he said with a trembling voice.
"You are so familiar with County Uncle Li, how can you not know …"
"That's right, Your Highness, please tell us the truth!"
The voice was clear and melodious, but it was full of urgency.
Li Xuan's face became even paler, "I, I really don't know …"
The voice beside him paused and sighed, "Since Your Highness is unwilling to say, then sisters, let's go …"
The crowd squeezed towards the innermost area. At the same time, some people shifted their attention to Yong Ning and Shouning.
… …
… …
After running out of the Morning Dew Hall in one breath, Li Yi finally stopped and sat on a step, gasping for breath.
I'm rich, I'm definitely rich this time. It seems that regardless of modern or ancient times, these shiny things are always sought after and loved by women. There's no need to worry about glass jewelry not being able to sell. It won't be long before the jewelry market of the Jing Kingdom is completely destroyed.
Without a few pieces of precious glass jewelry, how could she dare to call herself a socialite, a daughter of some rich family?
Of course, the disruption of this balance was only temporary.
When the largest jewelry merchant in the Jing Kingdom loses enough money, the industry will return to its previous state.
After all, if things made from sand could keep earning money, the whole Jing Kingdom, or even the whole world, would be in chaos?
Of course, before that, it was necessary to send people to the Qi Kingdom, the Zhao Kingdom, and other countries.
…
…
After resting for a while, Li Yi's breathing gradually calmed down. He thought about it from a different perspective. Although the situation just now was dangerous, it had aroused the curiosity of those women. Next, as long as he added fuel to the fire, the preparations would be almost complete.
Thinking back to how those women looked just now, it was really scary. If the two of them hadn't run so fast …
Li Yi turned around and suddenly realized that something wasn't quite right.
He waited on the spot for a long time before he saw a figure stumbling out of the Morning Dew Hall.
Seeing Li Xuan's disheveled hair, disheveled clothes, and one of his sleeves torn off, Li Yi was shocked as he walked over in a daze.
"What happened to you? Could it be …" He looked in that direction in extreme shock and said, "Could it be that the capital's socialites are so open that they publicly … defiled you?"
Thinking about how he had just been ravaged by dozens of married women and touched from head to toe, Li Xuan looked at Li Yi with a lifeless gaze and said, "I want ten of those beads just now!"
"I'll give them all to you …" Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Whenever you want them, just go to your father-in-law's house and take them. Take as many as you want …"
The Wang Family could participate in this business, but it was best for Li Xuan not to provoke them.
Other than the royal family or these super aristocratic families, offending so many influential people in the capital at the same time was something that not many families could bear.
He took out a thick book and threw it to Li Xuan. He said calmly, "This is for you."
"What is it?" Li Xuan caught it casually.
"Go home and read it slowly." Li Yi waved his hand and walked straight out of the palace. Before he left the palace, he had really been cooking soup at home. Looking at the time, it should be just in time to go back.
Until Li Yi's figure disappeared, Li Xuan was still standing there in a daze. He flipped through the "Scientific Principles" in his hands and had already constructed many experimental models in his mind. His breathing was rapid and his eyes glowed green …

Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of the Jing Kingdom, had just celebrated her nineteenth birthday. A nineteen-year-old princess who was still unmarried was a rare sight in history.
However, countless officials in the imperial court and imperial censors no longer had any opinions on this matter.
In the capital and a few prefectures near the capital, the marriage time for women had been delayed by three years compared to a year ago. Those who were over 16 and still unmarried would no longer be regarded as old ladies who could not be married. On one hand, it was because of the national policy. On the other hand, it was because most of the poor families in the capital now relied on the shoulders of girls to support them.
The farmers who used to look forward to having sons now sighed every day. Why didn't they have two more daughters in the beginning? That way, they could have sent them to the Princess' workshop. That fellow, Wang Laoer, must have done something good in his previous life. Both of his daughters were working in the Princess' workshop. It had only been a few months, but his house had been renovated and he was showing it off to the neighbors all day long …
Recently, his wife's belly was bulging again. According to the lame old doctor five miles away, this time it was very likely that it was a son. Because of this, Wang Laoer, who used to be very poor and famous for being stingy, actually held a banquet at home for three days, which made countless people envious.
Of course, people ate and drank to their heart's content for three days, but they didn't tell him that the old doctor's lame leg was broken because he was talking nonsense.
Many of the farmers in Jingdou were filled with gratitude toward the Princess they had never met because the Princess had given them a way out. However, for the officials and nobles, what they cared more about was whether the two-foot-tall glass statue that someone had given to the Eldest Princess on the day of her birthday banquet was real or not …
Colored glass was rare to begin with, let alone a statue made of such a large piece of colored glass. This person was a little too extravagant.
Later, they learned that the person who gave the princess such a big gift was the county uncle Li whom they often heard about.
Before they had time to wonder where he got such a treasure, a glass statue of Guanyin worshiped by the believers in the Cold Mountain Temple caused another wave of discussion in the capital.
Glass was so rare that even nobles had never seen it, not to mention such a large glass statue. The statue of Her Highness couldn't be seen, but the statue of Guanyin in the Cold Mountain Temple could be seen with one's own eyes.
For a time, there was an endless stream of people going to the Cold Mountain Temple to see the glass statue every day. Correspondingly, the temple's incense also flourished, and its reputation was unparalleled for a while, overshadowing all the temples near the capital, including the Fahua Temple.
After the emperor personally inscribed the four words "Holy Land of Buddhism" for the Cold Mountain Temple, the other temples finally couldn't sit still.
For the temples, the most important thing was, of course, believers and incense. In daily life, people competed for believers and incense, but it was just a small quarrel. Unexpectedly, the old bald donkey in the Cold Mountain Temple even brought out such a big killing weapon as the glass statue of Guanyin. What was glass? It was one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. Such a large piece of glass was an invincible weapon to attract believers.
"No, if it goes on like this, the Fahua Temple will be completely suppressed by the Cold Mountain Temple!"
"Investigate, we must find out where the Cold Mountain Temple got that glass statue!"
"Send loyal believers to the Cold Mountain Temple to inquire. We can't just sit and wait for death …"
…
…
In several famous temples in the capital, the famous monks with great virtue, who usually looked solemn and dignified, now looked very anxious …
