Xue Lince was stunned when he heard this.

He just had dinner with the emperor yesterday, why was he summoned to speak in the palace today?

Could it be that his identity was exposed?

That shouldn't be the case. Even if he was exposed, he shouldn't have been asked to go to the palace to respond. Shouldn't he have just asked the guards to pull him up?

Xue Lince, the second-in-law monk, was confused and could only follow behind the official.

During this period, he asked once out of curiosity, but the internal official remained tight-lipped, saying that it was not a bad thing and that he would just give him a proper reply later.

Soon we arrived at the Golden Palace, and the first thing we saw was the little emperor sitting on the throne. It seemed that because of his clothes, he was wearing a dragon robe. Although his expression was exactly the same as yesterday, he still showed an indescribable majesty.

Then there was Jingshan standing outside the crowd.

He cast a surprised look at Jingshan, who blinked slowly, as if to appease himself.

Xue Lince couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and then noticed another person standing outside the crowd.

The man had an extraordinary appearance, but there seemed to be a few deep grooves between his eyebrows caused by years of frowning, and he couldn't help but stare at him.

Who is this person?

"Uncle, are you a little too harsh?" the little emperor on the throne said. After speaking, he looked at Xue Lince, "Xue Qing should get up."

Then the regent was heard to say: "Let me ask you, just now Mr. Jing said you can make ice cubes?"

With such a position and power, Xue Lince always felt a little unsure when he was facing off against the other party.

The person in front of him always made him feel very vain.

It’s really hard to deal with...

"Xue Qing, please get up. The regent has called you here because he has some doubts that he wants you to answer." After the little emperor finished speaking, he looked at the regent and said, "I'm already here. If you have any questions, uncle, just ask them yourself."

Xue Lince had known for a long time that this matter must be reported, but he just needed a better opportunity. He didn't expect that his cousin would find such an opportunity for him...

The regent narrowed his eyes and looked at Xue Lince with an increasingly sinister look.

"Your Majesty, no!" After the regent finished speaking, he realized that he had spoken too hastily, so he stepped forward and cupped his hands before speaking, "This Xue Lince is just a commoner now. He has not passed the assessment after three years. He is here as usual.

He cannot be awarded an official position!"

"Xiaguan does know it." Xue Lince said helplessly, "It's actually very simple. Xiaguan also discovered it accidentally. Just fill the barrel with water, put a certain amount of saltpeter into the water, and then fill it with water in a metal container.

Go in and the water in the middle container will freeze."

"What are you doing with the scenery?" The regent saw this and shouted like a cat with its tail stepped on, "Your Majesty asked you to tell me what you said!"

Before the regent could continue, he heard Jing Shan continue to speak: "Actually, the glass commonly used in practice is also made by Xue Lince. It is clearer than the colored glaze returned from Fanbang, and the cost is much less.

"

"Your Majesty, I heard from Xue Yuanwai Lang before that the saltpeter used to make ice does not disappear. As long as the water in it is dried, it can still be used later." Xue Lince was naturally not qualified to speak at this time.

Shan then stood up and spoke out, "That's why I said at the beginning that this method doesn't cost much."

Xue Lince curled his lips inwardly, feeling for the first time that Jing Shan was a bit unreliable.

It turned out to be because of this...

Moreover, the Prince Regent is actually His Majesty's uncle, and he is called so grandly in the court.

"I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" The regent glanced at Xue Lince with a very fierce look, "This person has only some small skills, and saltpeter must be brave enough to make gunpowder, how can he use it to make ice for enjoyment!"

But he didn't care and stood at the end of the queue.

"Quiet!" The Regent roared suddenly as he stood behind him, and then the voice stopped. He looked at Xue Lince and narrowed his eyes slightly, "You said you discovered this. If you had such ability, you should have given the recipe as early as possible.

Benefit the people, instead of keeping it in your own hands and just thinking about making a fortune for yourself!"

Could it be the regent? But his straightforward gaze made Xue Lince hesitate.

Xue Lince organized his thoughts, then knelt down to salute the emperor.

After all, the regent in his mind was a ruthless figure who was firmly established in Diaoyutai. According to Jingshan's description, this person was also sinister and cunning.

After Xue Lince stood up, he happened to meet the other person's eyes and couldn't help but tremble.

"I am editing a book with Hu Shishu." Thinking of Liu Jingwen's face, Xue Lince felt a toothache.

Seeing the opponents, the young emperor also silenced his voice, and then spoke: "Then leaving you to compile books in the Hanlin Academy seems to be really buried, but the regent also said that according to the rules, you cannot be awarded an official, so you can

Let’s start as a Yuanwailang from the Capital Water Department.”

"He has done a great job in presenting this recipe," the little emperor said, "I also cherish talents. Rather than letting him compile books in the Hanlin Academy, it would be better to go to the capital to control floods."

"In that case, it doesn't matter." The little emperor said with a smile.

This is really the regent...

He couldn't help but look at Jingshan.

The regent wanted to speak, but was stopped by the little emperor's look. He continued: "What is Xue Qing doing in the Hanlin Academy now?"

"Your Majesty, think twice!" The Regent cupped his hand again, "Then this is..."

The regent didn't expect that Xue Lince actually made glass. He didn't know how to refute it for a moment. He was speechless and could only shut up angrily.

Xue Lince thought to himself.

Xue Lince sighed in his heart, knelt down and saluted again, acknowledging his guilt.

A few words caught the regent off guard.

The regent glared hard at Xue Lince, who was thanking him. He didn't notice for a moment that this man, who had never been a concubine with no rank, was suddenly promoted to a fifth-rank Yuanwailang.

Official.

Xue Lince had just finished speaking, and the meal time in the court where you could hear needles dropping just now was as chaotic as a vegetable market.

But he did not say at all what he was guilty of.

"You have such a talent, it is really buried in the Hanlin Academy." The little emperor pondered for a moment, and then said, "Since you have some experience in water, why not join the Ministry of Industry and become a member of the public in Du Shui.

"

After the court meeting ended, many court officials came to congratulate him.

"Master Xue is really young and promising. He has been promoted to the fifth rank of officialdom at a young age. His future prospects are limitless!"

"That's all thanks to Mr. Xue's wonderful idea. We old men can't figure out how to make ice."

Xue Lince was surrounded by people and was very frightened.

But he saw that his resentful senior brother was just watching with leisure. Not only did he not speak for him in the court just now, he also didn't come to rescue him now...
