After Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the first month, and under the ice and snow, Chang'an seems to be in hibernation.

However, soon it was the Lantern Festival, and the countries of the Western Regions sent envoys to Chang'an to do business, sell goods from the Western Regions, purchase more abundant materials from Chang'an, and sell them to earn the difference.

Luo Zhaoyun sent people to set up a new tax policy, as well as the registration clause of the vendors, various punishment regulations, and many imperial court banks set up to issue silver bills, which can be exchanged for gold, silver, and copper coins.

The business environment has been effectively developed, unlike the Yang Guang period, when he slapped his face and became fat, completely letting Hu Shangbai eat and drink for nothing, and collapsing Chang'an's economy.

Although the Hu merchants and local merchants paid taxes, the proportion was not high, and many of the terms and conditions were posted, which was conducive to their business and trade exchanges, and they all applauded and applauded them for their convenient business and trade.

For a time, the Liangfang City in Chang'an City was in full swing, and there was a scene of post-war prosperity.

Loulan, Wusun, Qiuzi, and Dawan sent envoys to escort the beauty into the court, although the identity is not the princess of the country, but it is a rare beauty in the country.

These women are tall, with Western-style dresses wrapped around their bodies, slender waists, plump buttocks and beautiful hips, their facial features are different from those of Central Plains women, their skin is extremely beautiful, and they are completely Central Asian skin, which is indeed extremely beautiful, with some exotic style.

The four flowers stand side by side, each with its own style.

"Your Majesty Dahua, please accept the first beauty of Loulan!"

"Please accept the first beauty of Wusun, so that the friendship between Wusun and Dahua will last forever."

"This is the first beauty of my Qiuzi, please Your Majesty Dahua no matter what, please smile and accept ......"

The envoys of the four countries all bowed down, hoping that the Dahua Emperor would accept the beauties of their kingdom and enhance the relationship between the two countries.

Luo Zhaoyun was enthusiastic and did not refuse, first, the palace does need to include newcomers, but he does not want to choose a concubine for the time being, destroying the harmonious relationship in the palace, these foreign beauties from the Western Regions, do not have to give high status, do not have to be concubines, just be royal lovers, and their words are not very clear, and they will not compete with each other for favor and power in the palace.

Therefore, Luo Zhaoyun accepted it, and the envoys of the four countries went out happily, feeling that their friendship with Dahua had deepened.

.........

Whenever the first night of the new year, the flower market lights are like day. The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, there is no city ban, so the streets and alleys are full of people who enjoy the lanterns, and the security of the court is also very good.

Moreover, the imperial court increased the law, and strictly controlled the second generation of those officials and the second generation of the rich, if anyone dared to oppress the women on the street, no matter what official position the father had, he would be severely punished, which suddenly made the rampant atmosphere of the nobles in the city be improved.

Luo Zhaoyun accompanied the concubines to enjoy the lanterns of the palace, watched the singing and dancing together, and then went to the Ruyi courtyard.

Because tonight Ruyi came here guests, her sister, the Nanyang princess of the Great Sui came to Chang'an, she was a few years older, she was married to Yuwenshi, outstanding talent and beauty, but because of the Yuwen family rebellion, killed many princes and grandsons of the Yang Sui royal family, so that Nanyang Princess and Yuwenshi and En broke off, when Yu Wenhua and led the troops to the north, she temporarily stayed in Jiangdu, and was later secretly taken back to Chang'an.

When Empress Xiao, Princess Nanyang, and Ruyi met, it was a sad and endless topic to talk about.

At this time, Luo Zhaoyun came to visit, and the three daughters greeted the holy car together.

"Hurry up!" Luo Zhaoyun was very polite, so that the three daughters did not have to be polite.

Princess Nanyang is Luo Zhaoyun's eldest sister-in-law, three or four years older than Luo Zhaoyun, I still remember that when we first met, Nanyang was already a big girl, and Luo Zhaoyun was only a fifteen-year-old boy in and out of Daxing City.

Today, the young man has grown up so burly and heroic, he is still the king of a country, swallowing mountains and rivers, majestic, and wise.

Princess Nanyang not only lamented this huge change, but the royal Yang family had been wiped out, and the men's bloodlines had almost been wiped out, leaving only a few of them from the women's family, which was embarrassing.

After Empress Xiao saw Luo Zhaoyun, her eyes dodged, not facing him head-on, and she usually looked at it with her eyes, which felt very unnatural.

Ruyi walked over and grabbed His Majesty's arm, she was a little grateful in her heart, if she hadn't married Luo Zhaoyun, she had the ability to take the third daughter back to Chang'an and save her life, otherwise, several of them didn't know what their fate was, and they would become the target of the ravages of the princes of all parties.

In the troubled times, the fate of the heirs of the royal family in the past is often not good, and the country is ruined and the family is ruined for a lifetime.

Luo Zhaoyun comforted: "Don't be sad, it's all over, there is a good saying, the big river east goes to the waves, and the eternal romantic characters!" In the trend of history, how many dynasties, how many heroes, have been buried, there is no immortal royal family, even if I Luo Cheng founded the country, will it be passed down from generation to generation, will it always be prosperous, so, all look away, since they are all alive, and there is no disease, no pain and trouble, we should be happy, grasp the present, and cherish the people in front of us. ”

The three girls' eyes lit up, and they were somewhat comforted, and their mood improved a lot.

Luo Zhaoyun looked at the sister flowers, as well as the mature and charming Empress Xiao, and sighed lightly in his heart: They are all the postures of disaster to the country and the people, but they are all affected by the fate of the people, which is very difficult.

"Your Majesty, my mother and sister, they all came to Chang'an, and they have been living in the palace, it seems that something is wrong, and it is easy to feel sad here, and the concubines want to place a house for them, live in the fang, and when they have free time, they enter the palace to see the concubines, or the concubines go out of the palace to visit them." Ruyi said that she was a little worried that her sister and queen mother were in the palace, widowed and lonely, and it was easy to have a good impression of heroes such as His Majesty, and the relationship would complicate in the future, making it difficult for her to face.

Luo Zhaoyun knew it, hesitated, nodded and agreed: "That's it, Prince Yang Zhao's mansion back then, no one lived in it yet, I sent someone to clean up and decorate it, you can go to his former mansion to live, maids, guards, you can let Ruyi transfer some, you can also sign a contract to rent the entourage, and the internal affairs government will allocate funds every year for a year's expenses." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" As soon as Empress Xiao heard that he had his own mansion and could be freer, he was suddenly a little happy, and his eyes involuntarily touched Luo Zhaoyun, and his cheeks suddenly turned a little red.

Princess Nanyang thought much simpler, and bowed to Luo Zhaoyun and thanked the emperor.

Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, her eyelashes curled, and she smiled very happily, relieved and grateful.
