Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 215 - 213: Shocked Ministers (The Tenth Update)

As to the purpose of these people, no one knew for the moment.

Even the shop assistants, after noticing the situation outside, did not bother too much.

They simply ordered more rigorous patrols.

Fearful that these individuals were here to rob or steal.

Of course, seeing their attire and the luxurious carriages, they were somewhat puzzled; after all, thieves of these times did not dress in such a fashion, especially considering that just one of those luxurious carriages was worth a great deal.

However, although they knew that the likelihood of theft was low, the patrol personnel were still more zealous that night, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Meanwhile, as they waited outside, Lin Yi inside the Imperial Palace was busy non-stop.

"Your Majesty, we can’t go on like this, it won’t pass the review."

"Hmph, you know to give up now? Let me tell you, no chance!

Daring to flirt with us today, see if we don’t give you a good lesson?

Come on, take this move from us: Nine Revolutions Guanyin Hundred Lotus Legs!"

...

Needless to say, this night was busily spent, both inside and outside the palace.

Those merchants in the carriages waited for the shop to open.

Inside the shop, people were bustling with work, patrol personnel were inspecting with full attention, and those responsible for the counters ceaselessly restocked goods.

In addition, there was an extraordinary bustle at the Nanshan Base.

In the glazed glass workshops, exquisite pieces were constantly being crafted.

At the same time, the residences of certain officials were also busy.

Sixth Prince sent out merchants, while the Fourth Prince dispatched Imperial Censors.

Despite it being early morning, these Censors did not rest and continued feverishly writing at their desks.

This morning, he was determined to have a contest with the young Emperor, to let the young Emperor recognize the skills of these literati.

And so, as the crowing of a chicken heralded the new dawn, a brand-new Chapter unfolded.

Simultaneously, Lin Yi, who was fast asleep, was abruptly kicked to the ground by the young Emperor, forcefully awakened.

"Let’s finalize the matter of Nanshan in the morning court session."

While helping the young Emperor dress and discussing state affairs with him.

Of course, saying that he was helping the Emperor get ready mostly amounted to observation and learning.

Most of the tasks were performed by specific Palace Maids.

Every mention of this made the young Emperor grind his teeth with hatred.

That scoundrel Lin Yi, despite being tasked to learn grooming for some time, just didn’t take it to heart.

After so long, he still had not learned to comb the Emperor’s hair.

But the Emperor had no way to deal with him.

Especially considering that this fellow was almost always running around every day, which made the Emperor even more helpless.

After breakfast, the Emperor went straight to Jinluan Hall with Lin Yi.

But before the young Emperor even reached the hall’s entrance, he heard a ruckus inside.

Hearing this, the young Emperor and Lin Yi exchanged glances, then both corners of their mouths rose revealing a playful smile.

"His Majesty arrives~"

With a loud announcement from the eunuch in charge, the Civil and Military Officials within the hall slowly quieted down.

Leading the young Emperor with measured steps to ascend the Dragon Chair, the courtiers bowed in unison, chanting, "We pay homage to Your Majesty."

Only after the young Emperor had settled did he survey the assembly, skimming over the ministers before speaking indifferently:

"At ease."

Following the Emperor’s command, the officials straightened their backs, with all eyes now turning towards the Emperor on the dais.

Of course, their gazes lingered on the Glazed Gold Dragon in front of the Emperor.

What they had been discussing just moments before was this very Gold Dragon.

Upon entering the grand hall and beholding the Gold Dragon, everyone had been startled and gasped in disbelief, then started whispering among themselves.

They couldn’t believe what they saw – that such a large piece of glazed glass could be crafted, and its appearance was breathtakingly majestic.

The colors were especially vibrant.

With the current level of craftsmanship, achieving this effect seemed as if it had come to life - it was not an ordinary craftsman’s feat.

To ponder the worth of such a large piece of glazed glass – how much would that be?

Just the Glazed Qilin Vase bought by the Fourth Prince yesterday was valued at a hundred thousand taels.

And compared to the Gold Dragon before them, that was barely a tenth of its size.

Furthermore, its color didn’t shine as lustrously as the Gold Dragon’s, and more importantly, the design was telling.

Therefore, some rough estimates pegged the value of this Gold Dragon at well over a million taels of gold.

And that was considered priceless. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

After all, they believed that no matter what, this Gold Dragon would not be sold, nor would anyone dare to buy it.

Only a few other country’s Kings possibly could afford it or even dare to make such a purchase.

Of course, they also didn’t believe that the current Emperor would sell the Gold Dragon.

At this moment, as the Emperor’s gaze swept over the Civil and Military Officials, he first set eyes on several Princes standing in the front row.

When he caught sight of the Fourth Prince and Sixth Prince, he noted their very grim expressions.

Without needing to think, it was clear why their faces looked so sour at this time.

Heh, just yesterday they had spent a great deal of money on a glazed Qilin Vase, thinking it was quite impressive, yet they could not have imagined that today, compared to his Gold Dragon, that item was simply trivial.
