    Li Shimin looked at the goblet for a while and the small wine cup for a while.  He looked like he couldn't put it down. Of course, he didn't know that just a few months ago, Taoist Zhuang Jing had already studied and understood the method of making glass. This colorless glass could have been mass-produced for a long time, but it was just like now  It is not uncommon to see such a perfect one given to Li Shimin. As for the imperfections, it is mainly because the shape is not very regular, but it is not a problem if it is used.  As for colored glass, Huang Junming still knows several ways to add metal particles to make it change color.  (Personally made up.) It’s not particularly difficult to research. It’s just that the brown color is more suitable for making small wine cups.

    "Master Immortal, what is this little cup for? It's quite small." Li Shimin held the small wine cup in his hand and asked Huang Junming.

    "Drinking objects." Huang Junming said it quite simply. Wine cups had really never appeared in the Tang Dynasty. First, the people of the Tang Dynasty were more bold and the diameter of drinking utensils was relatively large. Second, they were made in the Tang Dynasty.  The wine reading is on the low side and there is no need for a small wine cup.  It's not surprising that Li Shimin doesn't know the function of the wine cup.  "This thing is called a wine cup. A wine cup can hold almost two qian of wine, which is one mouthful. As the saying goes, drinking a lot is harmful to the body, but drinking a small amount is pleasant, so this thing is the most suitable."

    "Well, this wine cup is good. Drinking a lot is harmful to the body, but drinking a small amount makes you happy. But once you drink too much, things will go wrong." Li Shimin said understandingly.  Then he gave instructions to the eunuch behind him: "Go and get the grape wine that Gaochang Kingdom paid tribute to me. If you don't have the grape wine in the glass cup, it would be a waste of natural resources. Master Immortal, can you drink with me?"

    Huang Junming looked at Li Shimin who was holding a goblet in both hands and delivering a cup in front of him. He smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, these two tall, colorless glass cups are given to you and the Queen."  Yes, if you are willing to bear it, I should drink with His Majesty."

    After hearing Huang Junming say that the two cups were for himself and Empress Changsun, Li Shimin took back the goblet he passed in his hand.  He gently put it back in the box and said to Huang Junming: "Master Immortal, you will really make fun of me. But since it is given to Maid Guanyin, I will thank the Immortal Master for her. Since the Immortal Master knows how to make a glass cup  I must make more of my magic, these two cups are really not enough. Until then, I will have a good drink with the immortal master."

    "That's what it should be." Huang Junming replied, not caring about Li Shimin's action of taking the cup back.

    Li Shimin accepted the gift.  But he lost a little face, so he was naturally embarrassed to sit next to Huang Junming for too long. He just chatted casually for a while and then left and went to other circles. Huang Junming was also very happy, chatting and talking with his apprentices.  until the party was over.  We returned to Tianxian Palace together.

    "Mr. Guanyin, I am embarrassed today." After the banquet, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun talked about what happened at the banquet today.  But his tone was always filled with joy.

    "What happened to Erlang? How can he be so happy after being embarrassed?" Queen Changsun replied to Li Shimin coquettishly.

    "Hehe, speaking of which, this has something to do with you." Li Shimin said, taking out the box given by Huang Junming from the eunuch who was traveling with him, and placed it in front of Queen Changsun: "Guanyin Maid, I will show you some treasures."

    Li Shimin said as he opened the box, took two goblets from it, and asked the eunuch to get some Gaochang grape wine.  He personally poured half a glass and handed it to Queen Changsun. The dark red wine in the transparent goblet swayed with his hand, exuding a unique aroma, and looked particularly magnificent under the candlelight.

    "Grape wine paired with a glass cup is truly beautiful and exquisite. What the immortal master said is true." Li Shimin sighed, and then gently clinked the glasses with Queen Changsun.  He took a gentle sip, as if he was savoring something.

    "Is this the glass cup that Erlang is talking about?" Empress Changsun put the glass with dark red liquid in front of her eyes to examine it carefully, and sighed: "This glass cup is indeed beautiful. There is a faint light floating around, could it be?  The treasures of the Immortal Family that the Immortal Master took out? Otherwise, how could they be so much more beautiful than the ones collected in the palace?"

    "I don't know. But it seems to be made by the immortal master. The immortal master said before that he knows the art of making colored glaze. I'm afraid this cup was made after he mentioned it to me last time." Li Shimin enjoyed the taste of the wine,  He answered slowly to Queen Changsun.

    After listening to Li Shimin's words, Queen Changsun chuckled: "Well, it seems that the immortal master is still a thoughtful person!" As everyone knows, this glass was only mentioned by Li Shimin and Huang Junming asked Taoist Zhuang Jing to study it.

    "Master Immortal, what a strange person." Li Shimin obviously thought of Huang Junming's time traveling to the Tang Dynasty, squinting his eyes and sighing softly.  Suddenly, Li Shimin took the box again, and while taking out the five wine cups from the inside, he said: "Here are five more wine cups. According to the immortal master, this smallThe cup is worth two cents, which is just enough for a sip of wine. It is most suitable to use when drinking a small amount, and it will make you feel happy without drinking too much and causing trouble.  This wine cup is small and exquisite, perfect for enjoying in the hand.  It really is a set of rare items.  "

    Queen Changsun is a woman after all, and she doesn’t care much about drinking utensils. If this glass cup were replaced with jewelry, it would be a different situation.  Empress Changsun responded to Li Shimin, who was still intoxicated, and took the wooden box with one hand, preparing to put back the five small wine cups that Li Shimin took out.  He still knew that glass was fragile. Judging from the appearance today, Li Shimin drank a little too much in the Manna Hall and was a little excited. If he accidentally broke one or two, he would probably feel distressed for a while.

    Empress Changsun was filling the wine cup and inadvertently saw an object wrapped in yellow silk in the wooden box. Since the wooden box was originally covered with yellow silk, this small object was not as big as the cup that was not wrapped in silk.  Not very conspicuous.  Naturally it is easily ignored.

    When Empress Changsun saw such a small thing wrapped alone in silk satin, she immediately became curious and took it out of the wooden box. Judging from the feel, it should be a brand-name thing, but it didn't feel jerky at all.  On the contrary, it is a bit slippery. You must know that satin is a relatively silky thing, but the things wrapped in it are much more slippery.  Queen Changsun took off the silk satin and looked at it like a tablet in her hand.

    "ah!"
