The life in the capital is idle and idle, except for Tang Heng'an who was called into the palace every day, and the younger brother Zhao never went except for the first day to recognize a relative, and he was alone in the palace, and no one cared about it, so he did whatever he wanted.

However, who calls Zhao Di is different from the women in the house who generally only need to enjoy a flower and listen to a play and make a few beautiful clothes, this Beijing, but there is a Li family's industry, since he is here, he must go to see it.

The night before, I reported to Tang Heng'an first, and when I got up in the morning, after the two of them exercised as usual, Tang Heng'an entered the palace, recruited my brother to wear the clothes of an ordinary woman, and went out with the secret guard given by Tang Heng'an and the girl Siqi who followed her to the capital.

The streets of the capital were as prosperous as she had ever seen, and perhaps it should be said that after a few years, they were more prosperous and orderly than what she had seen back then.

Not to mention the shops after the planning, each bustling commercial street will always reserve a place, those small vendors who do not have shops, are fixed there to set up stalls, walking on the street, is not to see the people who carry the burden, can be put down at any time to do business on the side of the road, there are shops here are not only Tang natives, Zhao Di saw a new street, foreign people are doing business here, like a few small countries around, Zhao Di looks like various provinces have opened a special store in the capital to sell special goods from all over the world, anyway, now these countries, in her opinion, are several provinces together。

In addition to these, there are some overseas goods, Zhao Di knows that there is sea transportation at this time, such as potatoes and corn, these things come in this way, but I don't know how developed they are, at this time, I carefully look at the goods shipped from overseas, and find that most of them are some local specialties, such as handicrafts with exotic customs, there are also valuable ones, gems and rough stones, etc., depending on the degree of processing is still very rough, if this is a parallel world, then this timeline should be very early, and even maybe, there are many places that have not been discovered, through the conversation with the store here, the voyage at this time, the time is long and risky, and it is necessary to sign up first and then wait for the government to notice, everyone is ready to go out on the official ship.

Siqi is not very old, energetic, and can follow Brother Zhao into the palace, those are usually smart and clever, and draw inferences from one another, seeing that Brother Zhao is interested in these, and following Brother Zhao's side, it is really a matter of seeing and listening to all directions, Brother Zhao chatting with the shopkeeper, she looked at all the shops around, and after shopping for two streets, she also knew that Brother Zhao was not tired, and led Brother Zhao to the silk shop they opened in the capital.

Zhao Di is the first time to come, the original industry in the capital is to take care of the younger brother here, after the younger brother left, it was the villa that sent a person, and will be managed with the Xu Yulan family man who has been taking care of it here, the people who brought the younger brother into the palace at the beginning, have trained all these people and things in the capital, what store is open where, who is responsible, if there is something in the capital, where to contact someone, these Zhao brothers may not be as clear as them.

Standing at the door and looking, you know that the business is good, and almost all of this street is for women's business, silk, jewelry, Rouge and spices, these things they have dabbled in, next to several shops are all theirs, are two-story structure, below are their respective counters, upstairs is divided into two, jewelry and silk village ready-to-wear accounted for half, Zhao Di sat by the window on the second floor, can be the bottom of the street into the eyes, this is a specially arranged waiting area, there are tea and snacks to provide, other places are divided into a small room and a small fitting room, Zhao Di rested, watching the clerk politely entertain guests, suddenly remembered the first time to enter Beijing, into someone else's cloth shop was disliked in every way。

I remember that although I was not angry at that time, I still thought that I would open a shop by myself in the future, the goods would be better than him, and the service would be better than him, so it would be best to open it near his house, rob him of his business, and beat him in the face. Now the shop is indeed open, but since the opening of the shop has not had such a mind, but take this as a lesson for the people below to remember, so I thought about it and found that I have not been in charge of this aspect for a long time, and now, the younger brothers and sisters are doing very well, inexplicably have a little pride and sadness when the child grows up.

After a few days of such freedom, a decree came from the palace to invite my younger brother into the palace to speak.

Entering the palace, Brother Zhao did not bring his own people, but brought two palace maids who came from the palace on the side of Nan'an City.

After Zhao Di entered the palace, she didn't think about subduing the people she originally served, anyway, in her heart, she regarded them as professional waiters, just looking at her business level, why do you manage other people's hearts?

I don't know if it's because she died once, sometimes when she's alone, she also feels that she is too indifferent, and her thoughts about many things are different from her previous life, and she is more pessimistic, especially about feelings.

At that time, there were more doubts, but there were still some beliefs, even if they thought they might not get it. But now, most of the so-called feelings have been beautified, and between family members, they get along day after day and give up the constant family affection, which is only limited to food and clothing.

Being in the countryside, I really see too many conditional feelings, and I always have to eat and dress warmly before I have the spare strength to love others, what the ancestors said is right.

Since she didn't cultivate a deep friendship with these palace maids from the beginning, it was more of a responsibility, and in the palace, she had no interests to exchange with them, so it was best to keep a distance.

So what she brought, are the kind that can do their duty after observation, this time the two with one is called Mulan and the other is called Wisteria, both of them are 22 years old this year, the palace rules, the palace maid retired from the palace at the age of 25, people of this age, there is knowledge, there must be smart, there is a head no matter what to do, it will be more cautious, she enters the palace, they don't need them to find out anything, they just need them to keep their duty and not cause trouble, it is best to bring these two.

Recruit brother into the palace, I still wonder in my heart, this is not good, how can I suddenly remember her to come, the last time I entered the palace, she felt something, the ladies in the palace, looking at her is similar to looking at the soil buns, she also understands, this background is different, maybe talking to her, they all feel that they have lowered their style, elegant contempt, that is also contempt, and they have to listen to themselves from the words that I don't know how many bends, I am tired to think about it, so why should they hurt each other? Is it interesting to enter the palace to look at each other and maintain intimacy on the face?

It's a good thing she doesn't know what these ladies think, otherwise she would have been even more depressed. A mud-legged daughter in this poor country, I heard that she also showed up to pass through business, and the people who served in their family were better than this, and I don't know what Prince Yan was fascinated by at the beginning, although he looked good, but what was the most in the palace?

There are a lot fewer people at today's party, only the four concubines and the people serving below, not even the prince and princess, this is a posture to speak well.

After Brother Zhao met the four of them, he sat quietly aside and prepared to watch the play, and by the way, he took a good look at the beauty.

The most beautiful of the four is the concubine, her beauty is very aggressive, pampered willfulness mixed with childlike innocence, even women can be easily charmed, probably because she is rarely rejected, she is much more flamboyant than the others, others are still there to consider how to speak, she has asked about the usual daily life of Zhao Di: "Princess Yan has been in Beijing for a few days, are you okay? This Yan Wang's Mansion has only been repaired by them, and if you want to live where you don't like it, tell us, and I will go for you. ”

Brother Zhao politely said that it is good anywhere, there is no uncomfortable place to live, and there are no uneasy subordinates, thinking about such a boring topic should be enough to dispel their interest in chatting.

As a result, the concubine Niangniang is really enthusiastic, she cares about food, clothing and housing, and there is still a line: "It is said that in this capital, there are still a few flower fairs that are very good, but you don't know anyone, it's probably not interesting to go, the Dabaoguo Temple on the outskirts of the city is good, if King Yan has time, you can let him take you for a walk." ”

Brother Zhao slandered in his heart, that's Niangniang, you don't know how many places I've been, I really don't know the show off of the frog in the well, that's really ridiculous, even if it's a beauty, it's not the best you can get.

Mama Xia's high apprentice got on her body in a second, how to talk about this kind of boring topic elegantly, Zhao Di has also practiced, the concubine is very good at talking, and several other ladies also joined in, and the most asked is the matter over there in Nan'an City.

From the customs and customs to the regional specialties, the younger brother found out that they were expressing the mother-in-law's concern for her daughter-in-law? The other three are just that, the concubine Niangniang doesn't mention the emperor too much, and they are all concerned about their lives, so this is probably because the emperor remembered them, or he mentioned something in front of them, so they also hurried to care about it, so that the emperor had a good impression there?

It's really unnecessary!

Brother Zhao looked at the four people in front of him, except for Concubine De's older age, this is still the age of the prince she gave birth to, people look like twenty-seven or eight, the other three are really young, they are not very old, just at the most beautiful age of women, and Brother Zhao is not much different, this mother-in-law's kind money is put out, how to look at how to disobey, Brother Zhao has to be grateful, and the heart is more and more impatient.

Talking about the fief, the concubine Niangniang suddenly said: "The emperor often says that this child is to let him take on heavy responsibilities in order to achieve the purpose of exercise, look at King Yan to know that it is true, how old he was when he was crowned king, but everything that should be done is done beautifully, look at how well the fief is governed now." Speaking of which, our second prince has also reached his age, Sister Concubine De, I don't know if the emperor has mentioned it to you? Alas, my little eleven is too young, I really want him to grow up as soon as possible, so that he can share his father's worries!"

The princes of the Tang Kingdom are generally crowned kings when they become adults, and the fiefs are not large, but this is what really pleases the emperor, because although the place is not big, it is rich, and if you don't like it, the place is big, but the location is almost on the border, vast and barren, and almost exiled. For example, the Tang Emperor was like this back then, and there is an exception that Tang Heng'an, who was crowned king before he was a minor, and the place is also very large, and the example of the Tang Emperor has not been regarded as a threat before, one is because of his background, no one knows who his mother is, and he has not seen the emperor chase the title, and Nan'an at the beginning is more dangerous than the border.

The most important thing is that the Tang Emperor had soldiers and horses in his hands at the beginning, while Tang Heng'an had no military power and was far away from the imperial city, so it naturally attracted people's attention but would not pay too much attention to it.

Concubine De's face was impassive, but she said lightly: "There is a sister of Concubine Lao who cares, the emperor's thoughts, where can we inquire about it? However, my sister reminded me that Princess Yan should talk to me more when she is free

What should be prepared and paid attention to when you are away from home? ”

Tang Huang has so many sons, there will be more in the future, can sit in that position, there can only be one, the ability also needs someone to help, this separation, is a test of a person's ability, but also the time to gather strength, although Tang Heng'an is not favored, but after all, he is the eldest son, although Nan'an is barren, so many years have not heard of the Beijing subsidy, more than ten or twenty years of operation, it will also be a help, only these rely on the pampering of the brain is not clear, will push people out.

Brother Zhao didn't expect to be involved in the whirlpool between Concubine De and Concubine Guifei in the blink of an eye, and before she could answer, people from the palace outside suddenly came in to tell the emperor that he was coming.

This point is not the time when the emperor usually comes back, several people hurriedly got up to greet him, the emperor came with Tang Heng'an, he looked very happy, and as soon as he came, he asked people to call the princes.

When everyone arrived, they gathered in a palace, and they were surprised when they went in, there was a huge map on the wall of this palace, the map of this era was a highly confidential military secret, even if there was no accurate measurement method, the proportion was wrong, it was great to be able to have a rough map, this was the first time Zhao Brother saw the map here, but what is incredible is that this is not the kind of simple stroke drawn in the history textbook, this is obviously a simplified version of the world map!

Brother Zhao looked at the emperor standing in front of him in shock, thinking about all the amazing thoughts and actions that Tang Heng'an told him, who was he?
