The sky is covered with dark clouds, and a heavy rain is coming. In the corner of the Poyang Palace, in the Archery Hall, the prince of the Poyang King Xiao Si, dressed in casual clothes, is watching his younger brother Xiao Qin shoot arrows to take the exam.

Of course, Xiao Si came to Poyang not just for his younger brother’s sake. It was a good punishment for the New Year in Poyang, so Xiao Si just had to go through the motions.

However, when he came to Poyang and saw Xiao Qin, he was really surprised: Shiyilang had lost weight, and his originally round face had obviously lost weight.

For specific situations, when General Cai Ping of the Defense Pavilion returned to Poyang at the end of last year, he had already reported to Xiao Si. At that time, Xiao Si thought what Cai Ping said was a bit exaggerated.

It was not until I saw Xiao Qin that I really believed that this naughty brother had repented and changed his mistakes, and regretted the behavior of making a big feast on that day, otherwise why would he become thinner?

Look at it now, Xiao Qin has shot 20-step targets and has shot five arrows. Among them, the shooting technique has improved significantly, which is the result of hard practice.

In response to this, Xiao Si, who was already planning to go through the motions and let his younger brother pass, couldn't help but nod: It's different, it's really different.

Next to him, Cai Quan saw that his cousin was shooting archery well, and the prince showed a look of praise, and he was very excited:

Although the prince came to Poyang here to make Shiyilang pass the exam easily, Shiyilang performed so well because he passed the exam with his own efforts and justified his reputation, and no one could say anything.

These few months have not been in vain!

Outside the Archery Hall, under the eaves, Li Li, dressed in green, stood up straight, waiting for the summoning of the Prince of Poyang.

The prince of Poyang arrived in Poyang mainly to handle some family affairs, including his younger brother Xiao Qin, and to see if the people in the royal family have been honest and dedicated for more than a year.

For Li Li, this is the end: he came to the royal family to accompany Xiao Qin. If Xiao Qin left Poyang, he could go home.

Now, Xiao Qin is accepting his elder brother's exam, including Wen and Wu (archery). If he passes, he can go back to Xiangyang to reunite with Aye. If he fails... it is impossible not to pass.

It is said that the prince has always taken care of his younger brothers. This time he came to Poyang in person, obviously he wanted to "take over", so Xiao Qin must have passed the school entrance exam.

So after today, he was done and could go home.

At the same time, there is an opportunity, an unexpected opportunity.

Suddenly, cheers came out of the archery hall, which was Xiao Qin's voice, with joy and excitement.

The joy, as if the river water that had been blocked by a dam for a long time, finally found its exit and poured out, making it feel refreshed.

Li Li agrees with this. Xiao Qin has worked hard in the past few months. So when his efforts are recognized and rewarded, the joy is indeed derived from the heart.

After a while, a guard came out and said to Li Li: "Li Sanlang, the prince summoned you to meet."

Li Li quickly tidied up his clothes, followed the guards in, saw the "fat man" prince, and saw Xiao Qin standing next to him with a happy face.

Li Li saluted, and Xiao Si looked at Li Li with some confusion. He felt that Li Li was obviously higher than last year... when he saw him the next year, because the reference object was the same adult guard.

It seems to be stronger.

Xiao Si looked at his younger brother and then said to Li Li: "Li Sanlang, I heard from Shiyilang that you have helped a lot over the past few months."

"At the end of last year, Cai Fangge also said, you have done your best and helped Shiyilang a lot and made contributions."

Li Li said "I dare not take it", and Xiao Si waved his hand: "I have made obvious progress in the school entrance examination of the Eleven Lang, and I know that I am wrong. Therefore, I will return to Xiangyang soon. Are you willing to set off with Eleven Lang?"

When Xiao Qin heard his brother say this, he looked at Li Li with anticipation. He hoped that Li Li would go with him, always accompany him and give him advice.

In the future, if you have a job, you have to let Li Li follow you.

Li Li knew what the prince said meant, and there was no doubt that this was an opportunity, but this was not what he wanted, because it was not enough.

The greater the risk, the greater the profit. Li Li quickly replied: "It is the honor of the villain to be able to follow the Eleventh Lord, but he wants to stay in Poyang even more."

Xiao Qin was a little disappointed when he heard this. It could be seen from his expression. Xiao Si asked: "Why? Are you afraid that someone in the royal palace would hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to take revenge?"

"No, the villain thought that staying in Poyang could also serve the royal palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Quan, who was standing aside, felt strange: Who would care about you when he stayed in Poyang? It is rare that the prince is right in front of him. If you don’t seize the opportunity, this opportunity will never be gone.

Xiao Si smiled and asked, "Then how do you serve the royal palace?"

"The first time, the villain has something, and I want to present it to the next time and see it."

Li Li said slowly. Seeing Xiao Si nodding, he brought the prepared wooden box, then opened it, took out the things inside, put them on a plate, and brought them to the other party.

Xiao Si looked closely and was stunned. When others saw this object, they were all surprised: the white porcelain bowl, this is... white porcelain!

On the plate, there is a white porcelain bowl with lotus-shaped outer edge. Although its whiteness is not "pure white" and has a slightly yellowish white, it still attracts everyone's attention.

Because nowadays, the porcelain fired from porcelain kilns everywhere are basically celadon, and white porcelain is very rare.

Xiao Si reached out to get it, and his movements were quick, but it became gentler. He gently picked up the white lotus bowl and put it in his hand, as if holding a baby that broke at the touch, and looked at it very carefully.

When Xiao Qin saw his brother looking at the beautiful white porcelain bowl, he became curious and leaned against him and looked on tiptoe.

Xiao Qin felt that the porcelain bowl was covered with a layer of white paint, so it looked white. Xiao Si also thought so, gently rubbing the wall of the bowl with his thumb.

But I didn't rub any paint. I looked carefully and then confirmed that it was really a white porcelain bowl.

Moreover, the workmanship is good, the whole body is smooth and delicate, and there is no scar. It is nothing special in terms of the shape, but just by just a "white", you can double your value.

"This... where did you get the porcelain bowl?" Xiao Si asked curiously, and Xiao Qin also looked at Li Li curiously. Li Li replied: "Let's go back, this bowl was fired a few days ago."

"What?" Xiao Si was really shocked.

At the beginning, I forgot all the things I had to say and the decisions I had to make, and my attention was attracted by the white porcelain bowl and what Li Li said, "fired a few days ago."

Fired a few days ago?

How many official kilns in the imperial court cannot produce white porcelain? Did you fire it a few days ago?

Could it be that you know how to fire white porcelain and have a ready-made porcelain kiln?

Xiao Si, who was young, believed that he had been practicing for many years and had already practiced from cunning, would not easily get lost by some trivial matters, but at this time, his breathing became rapid.

He didn't care about his conscience and almost stood up in a hurry:

"Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

"Don't be anxious first, let's listen to the villain slowly..." Li Li was still calm. This "surprise" was specially prepared by him. Whether things are successful or not is on this small porcelain bowl.

"Xinping Township, Poyang County is now famous for making pottery, and many porcelain kilns are used to fire celadons. However, recently some people have figured out the formula and technology to make white porcelain."

"Who is that person?" Xiao Si asked anxiously. Since Li Li could take out this white porcelain bowl, I want to know who the person who made the white porcelain was.

He must find this person first!

"After returning, the county party secretary gave a letter to Liu Decai. Wu, an inner man, was from Xinping Township. His mother's family made pottery and porcelain. Inadvertently, white porcelain was burned out, and then studied it, and finally mastered the skills."

"He, where are others? Send someone to spread it... Invite it!" Xiao Si knew what it means to burn white porcelain kilns, so he couldn't wait to worry about the cunning.

"First, the porcelain kiln that masters the white porcelain firing process is not his own, but another one..."

"Who is it? I want to see you, and I want to see you!"

"Yes, both of them are waiting to meet outside the palace."

"well!"
