Shop of All Worlds: The First Customer Princess Jinyang

Chapter 44 Li Shimin's Grief
"Okay, okay, then walk slowly."

Ye Jiangnan was amused by Xiao Sizi's words.

After getting to know Xiao Sizi, Ye Jiangnan smiled a lot more often.

"Humph!"

Little Sizi snorted and continued walking slowly.

……

Datang.

It's late at night now.

The Ganlu Temple was still lit.

The eunuchs, maids and guards in the palace did not find it strange to see the lights on in the Ganlu Palace.

Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the number of times the lights in Ganlu Palace have not been on can be counted on one’s fingers.

The guards at the door stood upright at the entrance of Ganlu Hall, guarding the gate for Li Shimin.

"Oh...never mind..."

Li Shimin's sigh was heard in Ganlu Palace.

Although the guards could hear their majesty's voice, they did not discuss it among themselves.

It was not until a long time later that they heard Li Shimin's orders coming from Ganlu Palace that they took action.

"Someone, bring the queen to Ganlu Palace."

"As ordered!"

Not long after, Empress Changsun arrived at Ganlu Palace, illuminated by lanterns held by palace maids.

After hearing the guard's message, Empress Changsun understood why Li Shimin called her over.

When I entered the Ganlu Hall, I saw Li Shimin sitting on a chair.

"Ji Lang, have you thought it through?"

Empress Changsun asked.

Li Shimin nodded, sighed and said:

"I figured it out."

"Just use the Lanting Preface to exchange it with the immortal."

"However, you can't just take the Lanting Preface. You also need to bring some gold, silver and jewelry."

Upon hearing this, Empress Chang Sun said softly:

"Well, I think the same as you."

This was what Empress Changsun thought from the beginning.

"Then there is no time to lose. Your Majesty, please give the order."

"Duke Lu and Sizi are still with the immortal."

Empress Changsun reminded.

If she hadn't said it, Li Shimin would have really forgotten about his daughter Sizi and that Cheng Yaojin was with Ye Jiangnan.

I was so busy thinking about "Lanting Preface" that I almost forgot about these two people.

"Yes! Fortunately, you, Guanyin, reminded me!"

"I forgot that Sizi and Zhijie were still there!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he stood up and looked behind him.

Behind him is a bottle rack.

The bottle racks are filled with exquisite bottles one after another.

Some are glass bottles with floral patterns, some are vases with dragon and phoenix designs, and some are plates with carvings.

Everything looks extraordinary.

But there is only one thing that seems out of place compared to the other porcelains.

At the bottom of the vase rack, there is a very ordinary vase without any pattern.

Compared with other vases, this vase is slightly taller.

Li Shimin walked forward, picked up the vase carefully, and placed it on the table.

"Erlang, what are you doing..."

When Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin holding this vase that could not be more ordinary, she was very confused and puzzled.

Could it be that this is to be exchanged with the immortal?

But looking at such an ordinary vase, taking it to the immortal to exchange it, let alone how many coins you can get.

If I take this ordinary vase, I'm afraid the immortal will dislike it, right?
Li Shimin said word by word:

"Lan...Ting...Preface..."

Empress Chang Sun was slightly surprised.

She always thought that Li Shimin would hide "Lanting Preface" in a place heavily guarded.

But she never thought that Li Shimin would hide the "Lanting Preface" in such a place. Empress Changsun did not ask any more questions, and Li Shimin did not explain any more.

Picking up the vase on the table, Li Shimin gave an order to the guard at the door.

"Show off!"

After the order was given, the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards immediately became busy.

Because the gold, silver and jewelry used by Li Shimin were not taken from the national treasury because they were to be used to exchange things for Ye Jiangnan.

Taking things out of the national treasury was not something he could decide with just a word.

This also involves the Ministry of Revenue, Taifu Temple, Zhongshu Sheng, etc.

Besides, as the emperor, he had to explain to other officials what he was going to do with the money.

Li Shimin didn't want to go through so much trouble, and didn't want to tell anyone about the "immortal" for the time being.

Changsun Wuji and his three friends as well as Cheng Yaojin knew about the "immortal" out of helplessness.

If possible, he didn't want them to know for the time being.

After arriving at his inner storehouse, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun went in.

"Guanyin maid, help me pick out three boxes of gold, silver and jewelry."

Li Shimin gave instructions to Empress Changsun.

Three boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were the maximum that Li Shimin could afford.

If there was a little more, Li Shimin would really be out of money.

It is better to keep some of the money in the inner treasury to facilitate various expenses in the palace in the future.

After Empress Changsun selected three boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, she said to Li Shimin:

"Ji Lang, I've made my choice."

"Thank you for your hard work, Guanyin maid."

Li Shimin said with some heartache.

The three boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were not covered, and a golden glow shone from inside, which made Li Shimin feel very distressed.

This was all saved up by him bit by bit!
"Guanyin, let's go."

"Go to the immortal and exchange these things."

Li Shimin said.

Empress Changsun nodded and took out Xiao Sizi's membership card.

A white light flashed, and Li Shimin and Empress Changsun disappeared on the spot.

Disappeared along with them were the three boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

……

Inside the Wanjie Store.

Little Sizi played for a whole day and was so tired that he fell asleep on the sofa.

Ye Jiangnan and Cheng Yaojin were on the other side, chatting idly.

"Immortal, why can't I leave your yard?"

Cheng Yaojin tried to go out of the yard and take a look at the scenery outside.

But after stepping out, he inexplicably returned to the yard.

"Because it's a wonderland outside, you can't get out."

Ye Jiangnan talked nonsense.

"No wonder!"

Cheng Yaojin suddenly realized.

After Ye Jiangnan’s explanation, he no longer had the idea of ​​going out.

Since there is a fairyland outside, there must be other gods.

If I accidentally said something wrong and made other gods unhappy, I would probably end up here.

Thinking that he couldn't leave the fairyland, Cheng Yaojin's eyes turned and he asked:

"Hey, Immortal."

"We mortals cannot leave the fairyland outside, so can you go to our mortal world?"

Cheng Yaojin's question made Ye Jiangnan stop in his tracks.

"Yes, indeed."

Ye Jiangnan said.

After saying that, he silently added in his heart: Just wait until I complete the next task.

The next task is to complete the transaction after Li Shimin brings the things back for exchange, and then he can go to the Tang Dynasty.

Where Cheng Yaojin couldn't see, there was a square panel in front of Ye Jiangnan.

Instead of displaying the previous mission, the panel shows a map.
