"How can this be… ?"
"Can't the prince know magic?"
"Oh my god, it's incredible. How did the prince do it?"
Everyone looked at the glass filled with water and poured it over in Li Hong's hand, motionless, and made an unbelievable sound.
At this moment, even Lu Zhaolin and King Luo Bin were stunned by the scene in front of them. They were not far from the prince and did not see the prince do anything, but a magical scene happened right in front of their eyes.
The exclamations were also mixed with other voices: "What is this? I heard that the prince was able to fish out copper coins from the boiling oil pan?"
"Yes, it is said that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, His Majesty and the Queen were present. The prince shocked the envoys from various countries back then and was speechless."
"No, some people said back then that the prince descended to earth from the Wenqu star and was protected by an immortal, so his arms could fish out copper coins from the oil pan safely."
Li Hong looked at the people who were lowering their heads and talking about each other, and said calmly: "This is not a magic spell or a magic spell. In fact, you can also do it. Just stick this thin white paper to the mouth of the glass tightly, leaving no traces. With just a tiny gap, anyone can turn the water glass upside down without spilling it. But do you know why? This is one of the many knowledges besides reciting poems and writing poems. I know that there are still people who care about me. In those days, I never forgot and admired making money in a frying pan. I can tell you today that those are not magic tricks. As long as you understand the principles, anyone can do it. "
Seeing the eager eyes of everyone waiting for him to solve the puzzle, Li Hong slowly put his hand on the thin white paper at the mouth of the cup, tapped it gently, and saw the water in the cup flowed backwards in an instant. Next, the inverted glass was suddenly empty.
Everyone looked at the water in the cup, and when Li Hong touched the white paper with his finger and poured down the water, they couldn't help but followed him.
Li Hong put down the cup with satisfaction, stretched out a hand and swung it left and right in the void, and said: "This is because the air that we cannot touch gave the white paper strength, allowing it to withstand the water in the cup. Weight, so not a drop will leak. When the air that we can't touch becomes colder and hotter, the cold and hot air will collide, and then there will be something that we can't touch but can feel personally. wind."
Li Hong gave a superficial and straightforward explanation of the origin of the trend, and looked at many of them with thoughtful expressions. There are even some people who are already ready to take out the blank paper and start experiments there, and the smiles on their faces become thicker, as long as their goals are achieved.
Just when Li Hong was about to turn around and return to the back of the desk, a voice timidly rang out from the crowd looking across the water: "Disciple, I would like to ask you, sir, why did you have no arms when you were fishing for copper coins in the oil pan?" It was the little Khan’s arm that was burned. Is it the same as what you did today?”
"Absolutely. If what I just told you was a subject called physics, then what I did back then was a subject called chemistry. Starting next year, both the Imperial College and Hongwen Hall will offer such courses. , then you will understand how I did it in the first place, but after you understand it, remember not to tell foreigners." Li Hong said at the end, he laughed first, and immediately attracted everyone on both sides to laugh easily. stand up.
Helan Minzhi did not expect that what was originally a simple outing would turn into a one-man show for the prince, especially the magical glass full of water that turned upside down without even a drop being spilled. This made him steal the show, almost like a witchcraft. I am afraid that the incident of his inverted water cup will spread in Chang'an City within a few days, and the prince's reputation will also rise to a higher level.
Including his explanation of Wang Bo's "Yongfeng", the talent and knowledge he displayed shocked He Lan Minzhi.
Although Li Hong didn't actually compose a poem, his well-spoken and philosophical sentence "Everything is of inferior quality, only those who are good at reading" were enough for him and everyone to ponder over it for several days.
He Lanminzhi looked at Li Hong's back with complicated eyes. This prince, who had been different from ordinary people since he was a child, made him feel an unprecedented palpitation.
Although he could not clearly grasp the mastermind behind the kidnapping of his party on his way to the Western Regions, Helan Minzhi felt that this matter was probably inseparable from the Li Hong in front of him.
Li Hong looked at everyone's expressions. They were obviously still immersed in the scene of standing the water glass upside down. He suddenly felt that Qu Jiangchi and his party had become boring.
Turning back and giving He Lanmin a meaningful look, and after greeting Lu Zhaolin and King Luo Bin, Li Hong took the lead in returning to the palace, leaving the group of students to amuse themselves.
Gao An was naturally taken away by him. Even if he wanted Gao An to stay, Gao An was unwilling to stay. After understanding the stakes of Li Hong not wanting her to leave the palace privately, Gao An at this time began to slowly learn Converged.
Li Zhe and Li Xian made faces at Li Hong who was about to leave. Their expressions were full of determination and they would never return to the palace with him.
Li Hong didn't bother to care. He looked at the personal eunuchs not far away and saw that there was no problem with safety, so he didn't bother to care.
On the carriage, Jingzhe hurriedly handed a secret letter to him. Li Hong did not shy away from Bai Chun and Gao An on the left and right. He unfolded the letter and read it carefully. After reading it, he closed the letter and let out a long sigh.
"Aunt Lanling encountered a little trouble. Mr. Xiao started to raise the price. He even did not hesitate to ruin the name of Lanling Wine and was unwilling to make too many concessions." Li Hong said as if talking to himself.
"Is Yiyang okay? If something happens to Yiyang, be careful that the queen will take care of you." When Gao An heard that there was something wrong with Aunt Lanling, he immediately thought of Yiyang who had gone with him and asked worriedly.
"What are you thinking about? This is the Tang Dynasty. No matter how arrogant the Lanling Xiao family is, he would not dare to do anything to the royal princess. It is too late to protect him. It's just that we have different intentions when it comes to business." Li Hong said He glanced at her and said calmly.
"Oh, that's good. Anyway, you have to make sure nothing happens to Yiyang." Gao An said with a little pout.
"Prince, how about I..." Bai Chun opened her lips lightly and said.
"No, this matter is beyond our reach. What's more, after helping her this time, what will we do in the future? We can't just help her with everything. We'll see what happens next." Li Hong's upper body slowly fell down, and Xia Zhi's soft body behind him had already After waiting for a long time, he reached out to hold the prince in his arms and stroked the prince's hair.
"Prince, do you think this can be done?" Bai Chun looked at Li Hong, who looked a little tired, tilted his head and thought for a moment and said, "Now that you are the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, do you think it is possible to give Lanling Xiao through the official family?" Apply some pressure?"
Li Hong, who was dozing with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his big bright eyes, extended his thumb to Bai Chun to show his praise, and said: "Yes, how could I forget this? I am from the Tang Dynasty." The youngest minister of household affairs in the hall, how could I have forgotten such a convenient condition?"
After several people slowly returned to the East Palace, the sky was gradually getting dark. Just after eating, Lian Tie stood respectfully at the door of the study, waiting for Li Hong to summon him.
While waiting for the prince's summons, Lian Tie sighed in his heart: "This is the prince Li Hong. If he were the prince Li Zhong back then, as soon as he entered the East Palace, the prince would greet him at the door of the study with a smile. Please enter the study by yourself. As the Queen's personal slave, you still have some privileges and advantages. But since Li Hong became the crown prince, not to mention Lian Tie, even Yang Wu who was beside His Majesty had to wait obediently for the prince to summon him when he entered the East Palace and wanted to deliver the decree to the prince. '
Thinking of this, Lian Tie couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. However, such a prince has won the favor of His Majesty and the Queen. I am afraid that in the decades of history of the Tang Dynasty, there has not been any prince or prince as good as the one in the study. Like a prince, he acted so domineeringly.
"Why are you standing at the door and slandering me again?" Li Hong looked at Lian Tie, who was standing at the door in a daze, with a half-smile and asked.
Lian Tie was shocked. He was just thinking about his own things, and he didn't even notice when the prince appeared at the door. He hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I have seen His Highness the prince. The queen asked me to deliver the order. Please come with your majesty and the queen tomorrow." Go to Ci’en Temple and listen to Buddhist teachings by eminent monks.”
Li Hong frowned and said, "Who is so great that he wants his father and mother to go to Ci'en Temple in person? Why isn't that eminent monk going to the palace to lecture on Buddhism?"
Lian Tie seemed to have anticipated that the prince would definitely ask this question, and replied calmly: "I heard the queen talking to your majesty, and it seemed that it was a man named Hui Neng..."
"Who? The Sixth Patriarch Huineng?!" Li Hong asked in surprise.
Li Hong's reaction shocked Lian Tie. Judging from the prince's expression, he seemed to have known Master Huineng for a long time.
"Prince, do you know Master Huineng?" Lian Tie looked at the surprised Li Hong and asked cautiously.
"I don't know him, I just heard about it. 'Knowing the mind and seeing the nature' is his interpretation of the essence of Zen. Okay, I understand. I will accompany my father and mother to Ci'en Temple on time tomorrow." Li Hong looked at it Lian Tie, who still wanted to continue to investigate why he almost lost his accent when he heard Huineng's name, gave him the order to expel the guest.
Lian Tie was helpless. This prince was not afraid of heaven or earth. If he took it seriously, both His Majesty and the Queen would be afraid of him.
Since the prince doesn't want to say more now, it's best for him to stop asking questions, otherwise he will definitely be the one to suffer.
Li Hong looked at Lian Tie, who was standing there unwilling to leave, looking hesitant to speak, and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"Your Highness, I have a favor to ask of Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will allow you to do so." Lian Tie saluted hurriedly and said.
"Let's talk about something first. What if I can't do it?" Li Hong said in his heart: "You are my mother's personal servant. In addition to being a martial artist, what other things can embarrass you in this palace?" '
"Your Highness... slave..."
"Say it quickly, don't be unmanly like a man... Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that." Li Hong said his words in a hurry, and looked at Lian Tie's embarrassed expression and apologized hastily.
"Your Highness has offended this slave. How dare I ask you to apologize? It's really... slave... I want to come to your Chongwen Hall to study in my free time!" Lian Tie stuttered for a long time, and finally fell under Li Hong's angry eyes. , closed his eyes tightly and spoke his heart out.
