I'm Your Son!

Li Yuanzhao wore the toad glasses and confidently strode into Yangxin Hall, carrying the box of eyeglasses.

The first thing Emperor Jing noticed when he looked up was Li Yuanzhao.

His face turned as black as the sunglasses, and he immediately scolded. "You unfilial creature! What are those things on your face! Take them off at once!"

As the Crown Prince, parading around the palace looking so absurd and inappropriate was completely humiliating to the royal family!

Li Yuanzhao remained unfazed. Having been scolded so often, he had grown thick-skinned, and these few words were nothing to him.

He stepped forward boldly, placed the eyeglasses box on the imperial desk, and said proudly. "Imperial Father, I've found something wonderful that specifically treats aging eyes. Try them."

"Guards!!" Emperor Jing flew into a rage.

This little beast! Coming in and immediately insulting him for having aging eyes! This was truly unforgivable.

I've been too lenient, allowing him to become so arrogant!

Li Yuanzhao broke out in cold sweat! He suddenly realized the problem.

Wait! Whether these things actually worked for aging eyes hadn't been tested yet. He had just rushed to the palace after hearing Old Fang's description.

What if they didn't work? Wouldn't he be doomed today?

Old Fang had tricked him more than once or twice!

"Wait!" Li Yuanzhao shouted. "Imperial Father, just try them! If they don't work, you can beat me then!"

The guards were already at his side, about to grab his arms.

Seeing Li Yuanzhao's confident demeanor, Emperor Jing looked at him suspiciously, then gestured with his hand. The guards immediately stopped.

Guo Tianyang rushed in at this moment, saw the scene, and swallowed nervously.

The Crown Prince was asking for trouble again. Dressed like an iron-eating beast, what was he trying to do!

Emperor Jing sneered. "Fine, let's see what trick you're playing!"

With that, he took the sunglasses off Li Yuanzhao's face and examined them for a moment.

He wanted to put them on his head but hesitated and gave up.

These things were simply too unseemly! How could an emperor wear such strange objects on his face?

Li Yuanzhao looked hopefully at Emperor Jing. If only he would put them on, he would feel their wonder.

On the way here, wearing these sunglasses had indeed effectively prevented glare.

Though things looked a bit dark, his eyes felt much more comfortable.

But he was soon disappointed. Judging by his father's expression, he wasn't going to try the sunglasses.

If he didn't try them, wouldn't he still get beaten?!

In panic, Li Yuanzhao immediately shifted the blame, shouting. "Imperial Father! These were sent by Old Fang! He asked me to bring them to the palace for you to try!"

"Oh? Fang Zheng sent them?"

Emperor Jing lowered his head, fiddled with the sunglasses a bit, and put them on top of his head.

Li Yuanzhao's heart instantly sank halfway!

I'm your son!! You don't believe me?

After putting on the sunglasses, Emperor Jing was immediately disappointed.

He had thought Fang Zheng would create more amazing gadgets, but these were nothing special.

They were probably just colored glass ground into shape.

When worn, everything looked dark. Not only did they not improve clarity, they made visual perception worse.

Taking off the sunglasses, Emperor Jing sighed. "Enough, stop fooling around here. Do you think I have nothing to do all day like you?"

Li Yuanzhao immediately felt indignant.

"Imperial Father! These might not suit you, but there are many types of glasses in that box."

"Old Fang said you need to try them one by one!"

Emperor Jing was rather impatient and waved his hand. "I won't try them! Go back to the Eastern Palace!"

Li Yuanzhao grew anxious! He stepped forward, took the box of glasses, opened it, and presented it to Emperor Jing.

"Imperial Father, please try them! This is all your son's filial devotion!"

"Wasn't this sent by Fang Zheng? What does it have to do with your filial devotion!"

".........."

Li Yuanzhao was stunned.

That's not right! Today I came to show my filial piety, how did it become Old Fang's filial piety!

But at this point, there was nothing else to do. Li Yuanzhao pleaded pitifully. "Imperial Father, please try them!"

Emperor Jing sighed, turned to Guo Tianyang who was watching from the side.

He beckoned. "Eunuch Guo, try these glasses for me!"

Guo Tianyang shuffled forward, eagerly looked at the glasses in the box, and revealed an unimpressed expression.

Li Yuanzhao urged. "Quick, put them on and try!"

Guo Tianyang picked up a pair of glasses and imitated the others, putting them on.

Emperor Jing watched, his expression softening.

These colorless ones didn't look so strange when worn. That was good.

"Eunuch Guo, how does it feel?"

Guo Tianyang looked around, staggered a couple of steps on the spot, and complained. "Dizzy!"

"Can you see things clearly?"

"I seem to see even less clearly...."

"Try another pair!"

After trying three pairs, Guo Tianyang finally showed an expression of amazement!

"It's clear, Your Majesty! These things are truly wonderful!"

Although he had found suitable lenses, he still felt a bit dizzy.

After all, these weren't perfectly fitted to his vision.

Despite this, the amazing effect made Guo Tianyang jubilant.

"Your Majesty, this old servant now feels his eyes are as good as when he was young! Everything looks so clear!"

Emperor Jing's interest was suddenly piqued, and he began selecting glasses from the box to try.

Li Yuanzhao said proudly. "How about it? Imperial Father, your son wasn't deceiving you!"

"Not only that, these glasses are magical! Besides making things clear, they also have health benefits!"

"Look at the temple arms with acupressure points......"

Before long, Emperor Jing found glasses suitable for himself and was amazed as he looked around.

Then he walked over to his desk, picked up a memorial, and read it carefully.

The text was sharp and clear, without the blurriness he had experienced before.

Emperor Jing and Guo Tianyang were still immersed in the amazing experience.

Li Yuanzhao continued babbling. "These glasses are made of top-quality crystal, they increase wisdom, bring prosperity to homes, cure headaches and insomnia.... they're truly the best choice for maintaining health!"

Guo Tianyang's smile stretched to his ears!

Wonderful! Today he had used this health treasure. He never imagined his little brother had such good things. He would definitely get a pair for himself.

Whether they improved vision was secondary.

But this health benefit... was truly tempting!

At his age, he had no higher ambitions, no place to advance to, and more money than he could spend.

He only wished to live a few more years longer.

Now with these glasses, weren't the acupressure points constantly being pressed? They even had rejuvenation arrays engraved on them. Truly excellent things!

Emperor Jing was also pleased inwardly, but he clearly didn't believe Li Yuanzhao's claims.

These exaggerated claims were surely taught by Fang Zheng.

That fellow used the same extravagant talk when selling tea leaves, calling it "marketing."

The glasses, if not mistaken, were probably made of glass, and he was likely planning to advertise using the Emperor's name.

Many elderly officials at court had poor eyesight. How much was he planning to sell these for?
