Shop of All Worlds: The First Customer Princess Jinyang

After Li Tai finished speaking, he tilted his head back and took a big gulp of Coke. The "gulp gulp" sound of swallowing was particularly clear in the quiet room.

Li Shimin and others stared at Li Tai with wide eyes, astonishment on their faces, as if they had seen something incredible. For a moment they stood there in a daze, speechless.

After a long while, Li Shimin finally woke up from his dream. Unable to conceal his joy, he shouted excitedly:

"Good, good, good! You are worthy of being my son, so smart!"

"As wise as I am!"

Fang Xuanling and others on the side looked at Li Shimin with confusion.

Everyone could understand and accept the previous words praising Li Tai, but the latter sentence comparing himself with Li Tai made Fang Xuanling feel suspicious.

He thought to himself: Your Majesty, didn’t you feel a little embarrassed when you said this?

It’s not that Fang Xuanling and others think that Li Shimin is not smart enough, but in their opinion, although Li Shimin is extremely smart, he is indeed far from enough in the field of so-called "advanced knowledge".

Li Tai nodded slightly, a shy blush appeared on his face, and he smiled modestly:

"Father, please stop praising me like this."

"I learned all this knowledge from books written by immortals. I just repeated the contents of the books word for word."

Li Shimin waved his hand gently and said earnestly:
"Although knowledge comes from books, the fact that you can remember it by heart and repeat it completely and accurately is enough to prove that you have been studying hard and attentively recently."

Fang Xuanling and others nodded, agreeing with what Li Shimin said.

"Okay, you can leave first."

"If there is anything important, I will call you."

Li Shimin waved his hand, signaling Li Tai to leave.

If it were any other day, Li Shimin would have happily pulled Li Tai along to drink and have fun with his ministers, and talk about the world.

However, today is different.

Since studying the history books he got from Ye Jiangnan, Li Shimin has realized his past mistakes.

He realized that he had been too doting and pampering Qingque (Li Tai) in the past, which caused Gao Ming (Li Chengqian) to be worried all day long, fearing that his position as crown prince would be lost.

In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, Li Shimin decided to mend his ways and make changes.

Just like now, if it were in the past, he would definitely stay at the banquet with Li Tai and drink and chat with the ministers.

But now, he knew that this was inappropriate. If Gao Ming saw it, he would inevitably become suspicious and mistakenly think that he was thinking of deposing the prince.

However, Li Shimin's worries at this moment were actually unnecessary to some extent.

Ever since he borrowed a large number of books from Ye Jiangnan, all his children have been deeply attracted by the knowledge in the books, and they are immersed in them and unable to extricate themselves.

His eldest son, Li Chengqian, was obsessed with medical books. He spent all day discussing pharmacology and studying diseases with the imperial doctors in the palace, and he never got tired of it.

Li Tai locked himself in his room all day, studying physics and chemistry with great concentration.

The two men, who were once ambitious and coveted the throne, and even planned to emulate Li Shimin and launch the "Xuanwu Gate Incident", now have no interest in the throne and disdain it.

In their eyes, the throne is nothing but a passing cloud, and whoever wants to inherit it can do so. As long as it does not interfere with their exploration and research of knowledge, nothing else matters.

Li Tai bowed respectfully and said:

"Yes, Father."

"Then I will take my leave and go back to study."

While Li Tai was speaking, Li Shimin had already sent the voice message.

After Li Tai left, Li Shimin quickly sent another voice message:
"@孟毅Remember to give money! Just send a red envelope of fifty taels of gold."

Soon, Meng Yi replied to the message and even @ed Hu Hai:
"@Hu Hai Your Highness, remember to send out red envelopes!"

At this time, in the palace of Daqin, Hu Hai took out his mobile phone with a face full of resentment, glared at Meng Yi fiercely, and said unhappily:

"General Meng, thank you so much!"

Although he said this, Hu Hai still gave out the red envelopes reluctantly.

Meng Yi smiled awkwardly and explained:

"Sir, although you have lost fifty taels of gold, if you transcribe the content of the speech and present it to Master Fusu, you will surely receive his praise."

"Please start copying it quickly. Once you have copied it, send it to him. It will surely impress Master Fusu."

After listening to Meng Yi's words, Hu Hai always felt that something was wrong, but he still did as he was told.

After copying, Hu Hai happily took the paper to find Fusu.

As soon as he saw Fusu, he couldn't wait to speak:
"Brother, those questions..."

However, before Hu Hai could finish his words, Fusu gently patted him on the shoulder and interrupted him:
"Thanks, little brother!"

After saying this, Fusu turned around and went back to his residence.

Hu Hai stood at the door, looking at Fusu's departing back, his face bewildered, thinking to himself: Why is it different from what I expected?

Shouldn't the eldest brother first take a close look at the answer to his "answer" and then look at himself excitedly, praising himself as a genius?

How come it's just such a light compliment?
Moreover, apart from the first two words "little brother", the only real compliments are the last two words.

Seeing Fusu's back about to disappear from sight, Hu Hai came to his senses and shouted at Fusu's back:
"Brother, you haven't got the answer yet!"

Fusu stopped, turned around, looked at Hu Hai with a puzzled look on his face, and asked:
"Answer? What answer?"

Hu Hai quickly explained:
"These are the questions that Father asked you!"

"I have answered all the questions, please take a look!"

Fusu looked at Hu Hai helplessly and said:
"Brother, I have heard and seen this answer before."

Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, and looked at Fusu with a puzzled look on his face, his mouth slightly open, unable to speak for a long time:
"Brother...you...this..."

He looked at Fusu, then at the answer he had copied in his hand, looking at a loss.

Seeing Hu Hai's confused look, Fusu patiently explained:
“I’m in that group too.”

After a pause, Fusu seemed to remember something and added:

"Father is also in the group."

Hu Hai suddenly realized what was going on and felt secretly annoyed in his heart, wondering why he had forgotten about this.

No wonder the eldest brother didn’t want the answers he copied down. It turned out that he had already seen them in the group, so naturally he didn’t need his own copy.

……

In the imperial study, Qin Shihuang frowned and pinched his eyebrows hard, feeling a splitting headache.

I thought the answers to these questions were simple and easy to understand and could be explained in a few words, but I didn't expect Li Tai to talk for a long time.

That’s not all. The answers are filled with a lot of professional terms and vocabulary, making them difficult to understand.

It was harder than climbing to heaven for Qin Shihuang to memorize all of this content in just over an hour.

"Hey……"

Qin Shi Huang sighed and thought to himself: For the sake of my precious daughter, I must try my best no matter how difficult it is!
So, Qin Shihuang forced himself to be alert and recited Li Tai's answer with full concentration, and before he knew it, he was completely immersed in it.

Suddenly, a deafening roar exploded over the entire Xianyang Palace like thunder.

"boom--"

Qin Shihuang, who was concentrating on memorizing the answers, was frightened by the sudden noise and trembled all over.

He skillfully took out a helmet from under the table and quickly put it on his head, then took off his regular clothes, revealing the bulletproof vest underneath.

Then, Qin Shihuang took out a pistol from the desk drawer and held it in his hand, looking nervous and alert.

"There is an enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Protect the Emperor!" As soon as Qin Shi Huang walked out of the imperial study, a group of soldiers holding submachine guns and with grenades hanging around their waists had already gathered at the door. They had serious expressions and were ready for battle.

"What happened!"

Qin Shi Huang shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, the specific situation is under investigation!"

"However, judging from the direction the explosion came from, it seems to be in the west."

A soldier who looked like a leader reported loudly. Qin Shihuang's face suddenly changed when he heard this. His heart suddenly tightened and he blurted out:

"It's the eldest princess's side!"

"quick!"

"Go!"

All the soldiers responded in unison:
"Yes!"

The loud noise was heard not only by Qin Shihuang, but also by Fusu, Meng Yi and Hu Hai.

After hearing the noise, they were extremely anxious and immediately ran in the direction where the noise came from, urging the soldiers as they ran:

"Hurry! Catch up! Faster!"

Their hearts were filled with worry and fear, fearing that something unexpected would happen if they were a step late.

West of Xianyang Palace.

In the princess's courtyard where Ying Yinman lived.

The three little girls, Xiao Sizi, Ying Yinman and Zhu Wanqing, hid far away, staring with wide eyes and shock at the shattered large water tank in the middle of the yard.

The water in the water tank poured out and spilled all over the ground, forming a large puddle of water in the middle, with dots of water droplets around it. People who didn't know the situation would think that there had just been a heavy rain here.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder, and wisps of green smoke slowly rose above the broken water tank.

"Wow!"

The three little guys opened their mouths wide, exclaimed in amazement, with curiosity shining in their eyes.

Little Sizi turned his head to look at the youngest Zhu Wanqing and asked curiously:
"Junior sister, where did you get the firecrackers?"

"Why is it so powerful?"

Ying Yinman also cast a curious look, waiting for Zhu Wanqing's answer with a puzzled look on her face.

It turned out that the three little guys had just crawled out of bed, felt bored, and started playing with firecrackers.

Xiao Sizi suggested setting off several firecrackers together, which would make them more powerful.

Ying Yinman suggested throwing firecrackers into the water tank to explode the water in the tank.

Zhu Wanqing suggested throwing the big firecrackers she brought into the water tank to make them explode.

So, there was the loud noise like thunder that Qin Shihuang and others heard.

Zhu Wanqing smiled mischievously and explained:
"I saw a firecracker grenade for frying fish above the Lion and Tiger store."

"Hehe, I thought that since these firecrackers can be used to fry fish, I took a lot of them."

"I have plenty more here!"

As she spoke, Zhu Wanqing took out a whole box of "fish firecracker grenades" from her membership card and placed them on the ground.

Xiao Sizi and Ying Yinman stared at the box full of "firecrackers" with their eyes wide open, and were so surprised that their mouths could not close:
"Wow! That's a lot!"

The two exclaimed in unison.

Zhu Wanqing smiled a little embarrassedly. In fact, she did not tell her senior sisters that she still had more than a dozen boxes of such firecrackers in her membership card.

She was thinking that when Lion and Tiger were not at home, she would use these "firecrackers" to fry the fish in the stream in the yard.

"Big Sister, Second Sister, please don't be polite, take whatever you want!"

Zhu Wanqing said generously.

"it is good!"

Xiao Sizi and Ying Yinman were not polite and each took half.

Ying Yinman held a bunch of firecrackers, with a silly smile on her face, and said excitedly to Xiao Sizi and Zhu Wanqing:
"Hehe! Senior Sister, Junior Sister, I have a good idea, do you want to listen to it?"

Xiao Sizi and Zhu Wanqing looked at her curiously, waiting for her next words.

Ying Yinman said excitedly:

"How about we put these firecrackers in the mouth of the stone lion?"

Before Xiao Sizi and Zhu Wanqing could respond, a low and majestic voice suddenly sounded like thunder, echoing in the quiet courtyard.

"not so good!"

The three little guys heard the sound and looked in the direction of the voice.

Qin Shihuang had a gloomy face, as if covered by a layer of frost. Behind him followed closely a group of soldiers armed with live ammunition and with solemn expressions. It looked as if a storm was about to come.

This sudden scene frightened the three little guys so much that they instinctively moved closer to each other and huddled together.

"Father!"

"Uncle Zhao!"

"Uncle Zhao!"

The three little guys were a little panicked and hurriedly greeted each other.

There was awe in his voice for the majesty of Qin Shi Huang, but also a hint of nervousness at being caught being naughty.

Qin Shi Huang looked at the three little guys with a sharp gaze and asked in a deep voice:

"What happened just now?"

The three little girls, Xiao Sizi, Ying Yinman and Zhu Wanqing, looked at each other, and a trace of panic flashed in their eyes for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Sizi and Ying Yinman seemed to have telepathic communication and took a step back at the same time in tacit understanding. Their movements were light and quick, as if they wanted to avoid Qin Shihuang's sharp eagle-like gaze.

However, Zhu Wanqing, the naive and silly girl, was still standing there stupidly, totally unaware that her two senior sisters had quietly pushed her to the "forefront" and "sold" her out.

Qin Shihuang's gaze finally fell on Zhu Wanqing, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"Baoqing girl, please tell me."

Zhu Wanqing, who was called, pouted in dissatisfaction and looked at her two senior sisters for help.

However, Xiao Sizi and Ying Yinman, who were supposed to stand beside her, had quietly stood behind her at some point, as if they wanted to distance themselves from this "disaster".

Zhu Wanqing's face suddenly fell. She looked at her two senior sisters helplessly, secretly groaning in her heart.

"Uncle Zhao, the thing is... this is what happened..."

Zhu Wanqing hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"The eldest sister wanted to play with firecrackers, and the second sister wanted to blow up the water tank, and that's it."

Zhu Wanqing spoke very briefly, and intentionally or unintentionally ignored the fact that she provided those powerful "firecrackers" in an attempt to get away with it.

Seeing that his junior sister did not "tell the truth", Xiao Sizi was afraid that he would also be implicated, so he quickly added:
"Uncle Zhao, these are the firecrackers that Junior Sister gave us!"

After hearing this, Zhu Wanqing felt so wronged that tears were about to fall. She pouted and said with a face full of resentment:

"Big Sister, aren't the firecrackers with you and Second Sister?"

"I don't have any firecrackers!"

The voice was full of grievance and resentment after being betrayed, as if accusing the two senior sisters of "betrayal". (End of this chapter)
