203: Chapter 201 The Delighted Little Emperor 203: Chapter 201 The Delighted Little Emperor At this very mont, in the center of the grand hall, atop the raised platform, nurous artisans in Ministry of Industry uniforms knelt on the ground in front of the Emperor’s Dragon Chair.
These Ministry of Industry uniforms were uniformly arranged after Lin Yi took charge.
Since he started to reform the Ministry of Industry, not only did he initiate the construction of the new Ministry courtyard, but he also tailored uniforms based on different categories for these lower-ranking artisans.
As a result, they looked much more organized.
Moreover, what’s important is Lin Yi issued them badges corresponding to their rank and type of craftsmanship, enabling one to recognize at a glance the specialty and level of each person present.
Whether they were a woodcrafter, a blacksmith, or what their actual rank was.
Of course, this is all beside the point.
Let’s return to the current scene.
This sight caused the young Emperor to frown.
At the sa ti, he mumbled to himself, wondering what exactly Lin Yi was up to.
However, as his gaze shifted from the artisans, he suddenly noticed an object covered with a red cloth.
The object was large and long.
Right now, it was placed right in front of him.
This prompted the young Emperor to take imdiate steps towards it.
Upon approaching it, the young Emperor imdiately frowned, looked at one of the artisans, and asked:
“What is this?”
After hearing the Emperor’s question, the artisan dared not conceal anything and imdiately bowed and responded to the young Emperor:
“Your Majesty, this is a treasure specially fired by Lord Lin Yi for Your Majesty.”
Hearing that this was sothing Lin Yi had specially made for him further piqued the young Emperor’s curiosity.
Consequently, the young Emperor went forward and grabbed the red cloth, and then, with a gentle tug of her arm, the red cloth was swiftly lifted away.
In the next mont, what appeared before his eyes made the young Emperor’s eyes widen instantly, and he couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
“Hiss~ This is what you’ve fired?”
“Yes, Your Majesty, this is indeed produced by our Nanshan Glass Workshop.
However, the colors on this are personally done by Lord Lin Yi, and such craftsmanship can only be achieved by Lord Lin.
It was just completed this morning.”
Indeed, right in front of the young Emperor, stood none other than the Glazed Dragon.
And as the young Emperor took a clear look at the object, his heart was filled with imasurable astonishnt.
No matter what, the young Emperor is also a woman, and won have always had no resistance to such glittering things, especially such large glazed glass ware, which was truly unheard of.
To put it bluntly, if this piece of glazed ware were to be put on the market, it would certainly be priceless.
If Beiqi and several monarchs saw it, they would likely not hesitate to exchange several cities for it, even if it cost them dearly.
Also, it was precisely because of seeing this object now that the slight complaint the young Emperor held towards Lin Yi, for selling the glazed Qilin Vase to the Fourth Prince, vanished without a trace.
Joking aside, compared to this Glazed Dragon, what could your little Qilin Vase amount to?
And it was precisely because of this that she thought of sothing; she had just sent a servant to inform Lin Yi not to sell any more items like the Qilin Vase to outsiders.
But now, upon reflection, that seed sowhat ludicrous.
This made her hasten to wave soone over to notify Lin Yi to disregard her previous decree.
It wasn’t that she was being fickle; it was simply that the item was too valuable.
She had to realize that what she needed most now was money.
Previously, she had thought the item symbolized power, which was why she had forbidden Lin Yi from selling it.
But now, she saw that it served her no purpose, so naturally, she wanted to exchange those glazed wares for money.
After all, valuable as glaze may be, it couldn’t be used in place of military pay.
After sending soone to notify Lin Yi, the young Emperor couldn’t help but reach out and touch the Glazed Dragon.
Feeling its smooth, cool material and gazing at the exquisite, translucent body of the dragon, the young Emperor really couldn’t let go.
Especially at this very mont, the placent was perfect.
One could say that every day the Civil and Military Officials would co to court, and upon arriving here, presumably, they would be astounded by the sight of this Glazed Gold Dragon.
Especially when he thought about the Fourth Imperial Uncle seeing this Glazed Gold Dragon; undoubtedly, his expression would be quite sothing.
Even now, the young Emperor could hardly wait for the morning of the next day to attend the court eting, eager to see the looks on the faces of the Civil and Military Officials below.
It wasn’t just the Fourth Prince; today, many of the Civil and Military Officials would likely purchase one or two pieces of glazed ware.
However, by tomorrow, they would realize that the forrly coveted glaze in their hands would instantly lose its luster.
After all, the Glazed Gold Dragon had not yet been permanently fixed in place.
After admiring it for a while, the young Emperor sat down on the Dragon Chair and watched the craftsn personally position and secure it.
Before seeing it, she hadn’t felt much, but now that she had, she feared these craftsn might carelessly damage it.
It must be said, sitting on the Dragon Chair, looking at the Glazed Gold Dragon, the young Emperor’s heart couldn’t stop conjuring images of Lin Yi’s mischievous smile.
Especially rembering how this rascal had found ti last night to co to see her, she felt herself blushing slightly.
But for so reason, she felt he seed different last night compared to usual.
Yet she couldn’t quite put her finger on what exactly was different.
Let’s talk about two separate things; now, inside the Glazed Tile Shop.
Watching the Fourth Prince leading the way, a few servants carefully carrying out the Qilin Vase, nearly everyone around cast envious, jealous, and resentful glances.
It seed almost as if just to show off; the Fourth Prince didn’t choose to pack the Qilin in a box, but rather, brazenly carried it so that everyone could see.
Also, judging by the smug look on his face, it was clear that this was done deliberately.
Especially when he ca upon the Sixth Prince, he even intentionally gestured with his hands, paused, and then exchanged a few cordial words with this younger brother.
However, it was blatantly obvious to anyone,
…End of Chapter…
