Chapter 65: The Little Princess
"Sister, what does this poem mean?"
Although Zhao Duobao knew the words, he didn't understand the meaning of the poem very well, and he knew that his sister was known as a talented woman, so he turned his head and asked.
Zhao Duofu's beautiful eyes wandered, glanced at the place where Yang Xu left, and then said softly: "Yang Gongzi is praising your beauty......"
But he thought in his heart: "Yang Gongzi compared Duobao with the Qinglou woman, but it is a little inappropriate...... Well, it's understandable that he doesn't know Duobao's identity......"
Thinking of that Yan Feixue is the Qinglou Oiran of Jinyang City, the beauty of her appearance is rare in her life, Yang Xu did not know Zhao Duobao's identity, and used the sentence "Spring breeze ten miles of Jinyang Road, it is better to roll up the bead curtain" to imply that all the beauties of Jinyang City have been compared with Zhao Duobao's beauty, which is a very high praise for Zhao Duobao.
When Zhao Duobao heard this, his eyes lit up: "Really? Is he really complimenting me? Well, that guy has some eyesight...... Well, this poem, I kept it......"
She happily put away Yang Xu's poem, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and the resentment against Yang Xu in her heart had long disappeared.
"Brother Yang became a poem when he talked and laughed...... The brain teasers on the four walls of this floor and the couplet puzzles on the second floor are said to have been created by him alone. Dofu. Are you convinced this time? ”
Zhao Bang said with a smile.
Zhao Duofu smiled and said: "Yang Gongzi is talented and worthy of his reputation. The little sister is far inferior to ......."
At this moment, a table of guests left after eating, and the shopkeeper quickly cleaned up, and then came over to greet Zhao Bang and others.
"It's hard to come to Jinyang City, this reputation has spread to the wine and food of the Yang family restaurant in the imperial capital, let's try it anyway."
The three Zhao Bang brothers and sisters, together with two bodyguards, sat down together, and then ordered the most famous dishes of Yang's Restaurant.
At this meal, the five of them were very satisfied, and they also listened to the storyteller and the Qingqi people singing, which was really pleasant.
Especially Zhao Duobao, she felt that this meal was the most delicious one she had eaten in her life, if there were other things to do, she really wanted to stay in Jinyang City for a while and taste the dishes of this Yang family restaurant.
Before leaving, Zhao Bang saw that she was reluctant to leave, and said with a smile: "Duobao, Brother Yang said that he would open this Yang family restaurant to the imperial capital in the future, and I will accompany you to eat every day!" ”
Zhao Duobao sighed: "In the future...... Who knows when the future will be...... Third brother, let's come to Jinyang City once a month in the future, okay? ”
Zhao Bang asked rhetorically: "What do you say?" ”
Zhao Duobao's face wrinkled, and his shoulders collapsed: "I know it's definitely not going to work!" Our Emperor ...... It is more difficult to come up with it once than to ascend to the sky, but it is better to be born in the homes of ordinary people......"
Zhao Bang's face was flat: "Duobao, you are talking nonsense again!" ”
"It's supposed to be ......"
Zhao Duobao seemed to be a little afraid of this third brother, and after muttering in a low voice, he stopped speaking.
A group of five of them left the Yang Family Restaurant and walked straight towards the General Military Mansion of Jinyang City.
On their left and right, in addition to the two guards who followed closely behind, there were some other guards, dressed up as various passers-by, secretly following them for protection.
And not long after they left Yang's Restaurant, Yan Feixue also said goodbye to Yang Xu, sat on a bridge, and returned in the direction of Meixianglou.
"Xiang'er, go to Willow Street!"
Halfway through, Yan Feixue suddenly said to the maid Xiang'er who was following by the sedan chair.
Xiang'er answered, walked a few steps quickly, led the way in front, and let the sedan chair driver follow her.
After about a pillar of incense, the sedan chair entered a small street with a few weeping willows planted on both sides, turned into a deep alley beside the street, and stopped in front of one of the houses.
Xiang'er stepped forward and patted the knocker, and it wasn't long before a stocky young man opened the door.
When he saw Xiang'er and the sedan chair behind her, the short and sturdy young man's eyes lit up, he stood outside the door and looked at both ends of the alley vigilantly, then turned around and opened the entire door, and said respectfully to the sedan chair: "Welcome distinguished guests." ”
The sedan curtain was lifted, and Yan Feixue, who was wearing a red dress and was glamorous, walked out.
She glanced at the stout young man with a smile, bowed slightly, and then walked into the courtyard of the house accompanied by Xiang'er.
This is a three-entry courtyard, Yan Feixue passed through the weeping flower gate, and when she arrived at the inner courtyard, more than a dozen short men with happy faces greeted her, knelt down in front of her, lowered their voices one by one, and said excitedly and respectfully: "See the little princess!" ”
At this moment, Yan Feixue seems to have changed as if she has changed into a person, and her indifferent expression reveals a luxurious and graceful bearing, where is there still the slightest gesture and charm, and the appearance of the Qinglou Oiran with a smile and a smile is fascinating.
Looking at the large group of people kneeling down in front of her, Yan Feixue's majestic gaze slowly swept over them, and she was not in a hurry to make a voice to let them stand up, as if this was a normal thing for her.
"Get up!"
After more than ten breaths, Yan Feixue raised her hands and spoke lightly.
So more than a dozen short and stout men got up one after another, stood aside with their hands down, and looked at Yan Feixue's eyes, full of admiration and admiration.
Obviously, the "little princess" in their mouths has a high prestige in their hearts.
Although Zhao and Hu are enemies of each other, they have not completely torn their faces, and the two sides are very complementary in commerce.
Even during occasional conflicts, the two countries have a tacit understanding and have never interrupted trade.
As a result, merchants from each other's countries can often be seen in some of the cities on both sides.
Especially in an important border town like Jinyang City, where a large number of troops are stationed inside and outside the city, if the situation is misjudged, a small conflict between the two armies may escalate into a large-scale national war.
In order to avoid such a miscalculation on the part of the two sides, which would lead to a large-scale conflict, the two sides sent envoys to each other to maintain contact.
At present, more than a dozen short men in the Sanjin courtyard are ostensibly businessmen from Hu State, but their true identities have yet to be explored.
And in the eyes of outsiders, this courtyard was rented by a Hu businessman, and he would never have thought that so many Hu people would gather at this moment.
"Today I was in Yang's Restaurant, and I saw a young man with extraordinary bearing...... If the expectation is good, it should be Zhao Bang, the third prince of the Zhao court. The purpose of his coming to Jinyang City is most likely to inspect the border situation on behalf of the Zhao Imperial Court......"
Yan Feixue's eyes saw Zhao Bang's tall figure, as well as the jade pendant that only royal beings had hanging from his waist, and his beautiful eyes were full of brilliance.
Ordinary people can't recognize anything special about the jade pendant in the county around Zhao Bang's waist, but Yan Feixue is also from the royal family, so he can naturally see it at a glance, so he has a strong interest in Zhao Bang's identity.
According to the information she gathered, although the prince of Zhao was the eldest prince, the third prince also had considerable influence in both the people and the court.
Today's Emperor Zhao is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he is also a generation of heroes, and no one dares to guarantee that he will not abolish the mediocre prince in the future and pass the throne to the third prince instead.
As for the second prince of Zhao State, he has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, does not fight or grab, and his usual hobby is to plant flowers and plants, make the moon and sing the wind, among the princes and princesses, he is the most non-existent one.
Therefore, the future throne will definitely fall between the eldest prince and the third prince.
It can be seen from this that the third prince Zhao Bang is very important to Zhao and the emperor of Zhao.
"Little princess means ......"
When a middle-aged man from Hu Guo heard this, his spirits perked up, and he raised his hand to make a slashing gesture.
