Chapter 23
Soetu was dressed neatly and even repaired his beard for this, making it straight and shaped. Then he put on his official hat and looked in the mirror and felt very energetic!
He arrived outside the Forbidden City by carriage, and respectfully followed the people who came to lead him into the palace to find the prince.
The eunuch who was responsible for leading the way for Soetu led him around while whispering to him: "The Donald Duck of the Crown Prince is dead. Your Highness is very sad. The emperor is worried about how to comfort Your Highness. Then he thought about calling you to comfort Your Highness so he was happy."
The eunuch clearly stated to Soetu: The emperor wants you to appease the prince.
Soetu, who was in a happy mood before, he hesitated immediately. He said helplessly: "Better than me, a criminal minister who has been with him for a short time, your highness is closer to the emperor. If the emperor cannot even appease your highness, I am afraid there is no way!"
The eunuch chuckled and said, "How could that be? You are the third uncle of His Highness, and His Highness is still very concerned about seeking the truth."
Soetu has long been no longer Suo Xiang, who is powerful in the court and the opposition, but the eunuch still calls him that. Judging from his attitude, it seems that Soetu is still as beautiful as yesterday.
He knew the emperor's attitude towards him for the time being, and Soetu was not anxious at all. He thanked the eunuch for the reminder and walked for a while before he arrived at Baohe Palace.
The Qianqing Palace has been repaired and the palace people are speeding up to clean it up. Baohe Palace is not as magnificent as the Qianqing Palace, but there are many houses.
He went to pay homage to Kangxi and saw the little prince who was holding his clothes beside the emperor.
The little guy's forehead was bare and shining with long rat-tail braids hanging behind him. He was wearing silk as exquisite as a cloud, which looked quite noble.
Kangxi told Soetu that the prince wanted to go to the official kiln to see the glass making.
The emperor's eyes were indifferent and then added: "I will go together."
In the rich and fertile place of the official kiln, a group of people who have not made great achievements have been raised to live in it. They produce according to the old rules. Except for completing the supply to the palace, the rest of the fertilizer has become the material in the bag of the fattening manager.
It has been a while since Soetu took over the official kiln. Do you still don’t know the subtleties here? Especially the official kiln that has produced few results due to technical limitations, the top is not stressed, and the bottom is not allowed to be confused?
The emperor suddenly said that he wanted to take the prince to the official kiln, which was equivalent to telling Soetu to temporarily check the work results after he took over the official kiln. He was so scared that he was sweating in a cold sweat.
The missing account books in the official kiln was not caused by him, but there were holes in the early years!
Fortunately, Kangxi then instructed Soetu: "You go and prepare and choose a day to wait until I have time. Let me take the prince to see how the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty made glazed glass."
Even if more people were protecting him, Kangxi was not at ease to let Yinreng go out alone and wanted to go outside the palace. It was not enough to have Soetu arrangements and guard protection, so he had to watch it himself.
The emperor asked him to prepare, indicating that he still had time to settle the accounts and transform the official kiln!
At least we have to pack up the official kiln and make the emperor not punish him when he sees him, and the prince does not frown when he sees him.
Soetu immediately accepted the order, and Kangxi let go of his eyebrows and asked them to be alone and say thoughtful words at Yinreng's request.
The emperor gave him a chance, how could Soetu not miss it? He asked Yinreng with a smile: "Do you still remember the old minister?"
"Three Grandpa, Gu is much smarter than before. He will never forget people like before. You can recognize your face," Yinreng replied. He pulled Soetu's hand and was extremely sad: "The lonely Donald Duck is dead."
"I am very sorry when I heard about this," Soetu whispered: "The duck cannot be resurrected after death. I hope your highness will be mourned, so don't hurt yourself."
Yinreng sniffed and said sincerely: "Third Grandpa, you are fine, it's great!"
Your Highness not only did not forget him, but also cared about him! Soetu was even more moved.
Yinreng said sincerely to Soetu: "Three Grandpa, the baby doesn't ask you to be rich and noble, I just wish you good health and safety throughout your life."
This sentence is very familiar and classic, and it is exactly what the mother said to the baby in the educational film.
"Child, mother doesn't ask you to be rich and noble, she just wishes you..."
The wealthy and powerful Suo Xiang wanted nothing but a flattery, but he had never felt such sincere and kind blessings, let alone the blessings given to him by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Soetu's eyes turned red and his nose turned sour. He was moved by this innocent child.
"Your Highness cares about me, and I am not honored! Your sincere minister has accepted your wishes, and you must take good care of your health and be healthy and safe."
Only then did Yinreng relax his eyebrows and put away his sadness.
People should look like before when they live. Donald Duck has gone to heaven to enjoy his happiness. He should take good care of himself.
When Yinreng saw the intact third grandfather, he felt relieved. He heard Soetu say that he was in charge of the official kiln and happily asked about his situation in the official kiln.
"There are many types of official kilns. In addition to the official kilns that Your Highness wants to see, there are also weaving, coin casting, porcelain, smelting, etc.." Suo'ertu introduced him that the court would set up official kilns and would also promote the private kilns with good quality of folk products to official kilns. For example, the Cao family, who came from Cao Zhen, started out through weaving.
Soetu is responsible for the official kilns in the capital. It is a shortage of fat and the output is directly supplied to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He also assured Yinreng: "If your highness has something you like, just ask me for it, I will definitely be able to deliver that thing to you."
Like expensive glass products, even if Yinreng wants, no matter how much manpower is spent, Soetu will send it to him.
The emperor demoted him and Nalan Mingzhu because the overall situation of the Three Feudal Rebellion had been decided, and Wu Shifan had no room for struggle. The victory of the Qing Dynasty was about to be seen. Once the rebellion stopped and the rebels were killed, the country would be much more peaceful. It is foreseeable that a period of peace would appear next, and then it would create the most developed opportunity.
If you don’t have the most outstanding achievements in managing the official kiln, it will be difficult to return to the emperor and become a minister of the regent. The only benefit is that you can make more wealth and be bribed by others. You can just collect treasures for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Yinreng thanked Soetu for his kindness. He suggested that he wanted to be a glass for windows. His innocent fantasy immediately made Soetu feel bitter.
"Your Highness, there is no such technology that can create large pieces of glass that can be formed."
"Gu knows, so Gu is interested in this and plans to study it! Third Grandpa just cooperates with Gu!"
Soetu suddenly realized: It turned out that the prince was not interested in Liuli, but wanted to play with the recipe process of making Liuli.
The addition of several things makes the same wonderful reaction as alchemy, and it is indeed fascinating that the prince is interested in it.
After hearing Soetu's agreement, Yinreng happily gave the word "Fu" he wrote to Soetu and asked him to take it home to post it.
After seeing off the healthy third grandfather, Yinreng looked down at his feet. There was no Donald Duck at his feet. He felt very lonely. In the past, it would always squat at his feet, but now it is empty.
Shuke has also given it to Azhen, and the scene of a big ear Tutu kindergarten child taking care of the empty-nest elderly were floating in his mind.
Yinreng and the system Xiaomei cried and said: I am now an empty-nest elderly man!
Xiaomei comforted him [Little Mei and Xiaomei!]
Yinreng: But Xiaomei doesn’t need to take a bath, eat, drink water, and poop. Her body is weak and she can’t touch Maomao!
Although the White Tiger is very powerful, what's the use of not touching and hugging?
[Don't be sad, Xiaomei plays cartoons for you! Why don't we watch some happy cartoons to relax. How about "Cat and Mouse"?] Yinreng was attracted by the system and just watched the previous episode of "Cat and Mouse" and was attracted by the lively and happy music and style.
Tom is a stupid cat. He wants to catch mice every day, but he falls into the hands of the wise Jerry every time.
Yinreng went to the small study room, held the book and pretended to read the book. The people around him were tactful and retreated, only Madam Xu kept it to protect him.
He looked at "Cat and Mouse" with a happy smile, and the depression and haze of the previous ones were wiped out.
After watching "Cat and Mouse" for two hours, Yinreng was reluctant to let go of the book.
Soon, Yinreng proposed to raise a cat. Madam Xu was overjoyed and thought that he had let go of the sadness of Donald Duck's death. She immediately went to him to get the "Cat Book" recorded by the imperial book and select the cat that he could see.
The cat book records the situation of cats in the Beast Garden, from the name to the level of gentleness, from the amount of hair loss to the daily habits.
Yinreng turned over a few pages of the pictures and was attracted by one of the dark blue kittens. He pointed to the kitten playing with cloth mice on the drawing and said, "I want him!"
Madam Xu smiled when she saw it: "Oh, this cat has gray and blue hair, and its fur color is not as good as other cats. It can be left in the Beast Control Garden because it is the most obedient among all cats. Isn't your Highness really looking at anything else?"
"Tom is a blue cat! It says it's a cat from England, it's it!" Yinreng decided that something was difficult to change. Not long after, the eunuch sent the blue cat over for him.
Yinreng named the blue cat Tom. Think about it, with Tom, is it still missing Jerry?
So I asked someone to get a mouse for myself and asked for brown mice.
Yinreng was gradually distracted by other things, and no one mentioned Donald Duck in front of him anymore, and gradually he forgot the sadness of the dead Donald Duck.
On this day, Kangxi finally had time, and the emperor traveled wildly. Although he was visiting the glazed official kiln not far from the Forbidden City, his subordinate officials still made them nervous and welcomed each other carefully, showing the best side of the official kiln to the emperor.
Soetu welcomed Kangxi with a glorious scenery. During the meal, he booked a restaurant closest to the Forbidden City for the emperor. I heard that the restaurant was opened by a prince. The dishes were not inferior to the imperial kitchen. The decoration was elegant and pleasant. Many royal relatives and nobles liked to come here to support it.
The emperor led the little prince to the restaurant and came to the best private room. He stepped away a group of officials and left Soetu alone to accompany him in the private room.
The news that Soetu regained the emperor's favor was spreading quickly among the court officials like a winged bird. Everyone whispered carefully and guessed: "The day when Soetu regained is not far away."
Soetu, located in the private room, called the restaurant shopkeeper and asked him to introduce the unique flavor here and be sure to entertain the most noble father and son in the world.
The shopkeeper smiled like Maitreya Buddha, and introduced the characteristics of this restaurant called "Zhimeilou" to the emperor and the prince in detail. He introduced to the two: "The most famous among the nobles and nobles here, and the most authentic flavor is the 'Beijing Roast Duck'. The best meat duck is selected and roasted with charcoal. When eating, the chef will dip the crispy duck skin and slices on the outside and the inside, and wrap it with sauce, wrap it with green onions and dough. The taste is amazing!"
As he spoke, the waiter wrapped the dough with instructions and tried the dishes, and then delivered a portion exactly the same to the imperial court.
Kangxi handed the first piece of dough to Yinreng, and suddenly thought that Donald Duck had just died a month ago, his hands immediately froze, and his face looked a little bad.
This Sue's picture is really eye-catching!
Yinreng stared at the face, his little nose moved, and was deeply bewitched by the fragrance.
He reached out to take it, stuffed the skinned duck into his mouth, hugged it like a little hamster gnawing melon seeds, and choked while eating: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
