Section 12 Princesses
Let General Min and Master Peng sit down for a while, and then invite them to come up. Miss Zhuo showed a helpless expression and commanded lightly.
"Yes." The guard answered, and then he was about to retreat.
"Wait! Let Manager Liu come up together. Miss Zhuo stopped the guards and added.
Sisi and Qiao'er picked up Miss Zhuo and walked into the compartment on the side. Looking at Miss Zhuo's body, which can be described as delicate and powerless, Ye Tao naturally sighed. What kind of luck was it to be able to spread such a poor body when crossing over? Fortunately, such a body is a woman born in a high-ranking official and a wealthy family, if the family is poor, if it is a man, I am afraid she may not be able to raise her to such a big age. However, what kind of family and what kind of circumstances can make a 14-year-old woman have such a plain and pleasant temperament, and can indeed unconsciously reveal an atmosphere that seems to affect her when nothing affects her?
The top floor of the Xunfeng Pavilion adopts a large living room and bedroom layout, just as Ye Tao hoped, on this floor, except for the fact that it is not very convenient to make a fire and cook, almost anything can be done. Hearing the voice of Sississoso and the chuckle of the two maids in the compartment next to him, Ye Tao knew that Miss Zhuo was going to change clothes. And while waiting, Min Yue and Peng Detian climbed to the top of the Xunfeng Pavilion.
For the Xunfeng Pavilion, the two adults are also very familiar with it. Peng Detian is still a clean official in general, and he has no money to dig out the Xunfeng Pavilion from the Du family's mouth after he swindled a garden from Ye Tao's hands. But Min Yue is extremely rich, although he has bought a villa from Ye Tao, he still has not used the brains of Xunfeng Pavilion. However, these two had never waited for the Kaoru Pavilion in such a mood.
"Ye Tao, are you here too?" Seeing Ye Tao, Min Yue said strangely.
"I've met Master Min," and Min Yue were too familiar, and after Ye Tao saluted, he said, "I came to thank Miss Zhuo, and I chatted with Miss late." Miss Meng stayed to dine together, not wanting the two adults to come at this time. …… Master Peng, thank you for your help today. There will be rewards in the future. ”
Peng Detian waved his hand and said, "Canghuai doesn't need to be polite, this is on the ground of Yicheng, and there is such a thing when it comes out, but I, the governor, have no face." ”
Min Yue snorted and said, "Xue Yuan? Have a good life with him. ”
"General Min is still so bold." Manager Liu went upstairs and said happily to Min Yue. That expression was clearly facing an acquaintance, an old friend, and he was not restrained at all, let alone regarded Min Yue as a second-class master.
"General Liu!" Min Yue took a deep look, and actually saluted this Chief Manager Liu. "As soon as I heard Master Peng say it, I guessed that it was you."
Seeing Min Yue's behavior, Ye Tao and Peng Detian were both shocked. I am afraid that there are not many people in Dongping who can make such a move.
Peng Detian hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "I didn't know that the honorable driver was coming, I was rude before." ”
Manager Liu smiled and said, "Don't say anything about respecting the driver, Master Peng doesn't know me, where can I talk about the need to see a courtesy." If it weren't for this sidewalk, I'm afraid that the comings and goings of our line might not be known to the two of you. ”
Min Yue asked, "Is that Miss Zhuo ......?" Knowing that the other party did not reveal his identity, Min Yue did not dare to break it rashly, for fear of annoying the extremely eccentric "Miss Zhuo".
"Exactly," Manager Liu nodded, "However, since Miss asked me to meet with the two adults, I'm afraid I don't plan to hide my identity." It's just that the two adults, as well as the little son of the Ye family, don't pass on the identity of the young lady. ”
Ye Tao and Peng Detian are a little restrained, I'm afraid that the origin of this "Miss Zhuo" is bigger than they imagined.
Sure enough, Min Yue got Chief Liu's words, nodded and introduced them to them: "This is the famous Liu Yong, who used to be the deputy head of the inner guard and the commander of the Yulin Army. …… Master Peng, do you know what Miss Zhuo is now? ”
Peng Detian's body trembled, although he was not as well-informed as Min Yue, Liu Yong's identity was still known. The position of deputy head of the Ouchi guard is not for everyone, although it is only a position with the same power and no official rank, but it has considerable power and considerable influence, and it represents the trust of the royal family. And Liu Yong withdrew from the inner guards and became the commander of the Yulin Army in order to make way for his younger brother Liu Meng, and then, after retiring from the Yulin Army, he did not take any position, but became the chief of the guard of Princess Zhaohua, the favorite daughter of the current Dongping Lord.
“…… Then, Miss Zhuo is Princess Zhaohua? Peng Detian said the identity of "Miss Zhuo" in disbelief.
"Princess Zhaohua?" Ye Tao was also frightened, although he had already seen that this Miss Zhuo was not simple, but he didn't expect that it was actually a princess, and he didn't know much about Min Yue and Peng Detian's identity of Liu Yong before. The affairs of Jingzhong are related to the royal family, and they are not under the control of a small person like him, and he happens to be a person who doesn't like to listen to gossip very much. Can Princess Zhaohua talk about Weixin? Even he, who doesn't like to listen to gossip, knows some of her deeds.
"It's enough to know who I am, don't really take the right princess out, I'm here to play in Yicheng, don't let me lose interest." The princess came out of the cubicle at the right time, and Sisi and Qiao'er lifted the screen for her, and helped her to sit down by the windowsill.
"See Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Although Princess Zhaohua said this, everyone still bowed respectfully. And the princess, who has long been accustomed to this kind of scene, although she is a little helpless, does not feel more unexpected.
"Excuse me." The princess sighed lightly, she glanced at Ye Tao with great playfulness, and Ye Tao also looked at Her Royal Highness the princess who had admired her name for a long time with great interest at the moment.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, are you really just here to play?" Min Yue asked. When he first heard the Moyu Tiger Fu, Min Yue once had an idea, thinking that there was some secret change in Beijing, and the royal family sent someone to bring the Moyuhu Fu to Yicheng to send people back to King Qin. Although he dismissed that thought almost immediately, at this moment, the question still had to be asked.
"yes. Kyochu was so depressed. Princess Zhaohua said lightly, "In a few days, Master Min will probably have a new news to read, and in there, I'm afraid there will be my name." ”
Min Yue heard that Princess Zhaohua's tone was very resentful, and immediately stopped talking and didn't dare to ask again. And Princess Zhaohua continued: "Actually, it's nothing. The father wanted to accept the lord of Bailian County in the southern country of Chun as a concubine, and the queen mother actually allowed it. Although it is understandable to conclude such a relationship between the two countries, since they want to be sent as a princess, why not send Song Xiangyun, the first beauty in the southern part of the country, and the fourth princess who is known for her 'gentle and virtuous virtue', but to get a Bailian county lord who is known for being arrogant and obedient, and can't marry at the age of 27? Could it be that my Dongping Wang's family is actually a garbage basket for disposing of defective goods? …… I let the envoy of Chunnan Kingdom not come to the stage in public, and my father had to let me 'think about it', since I didn't think that there was anything to think about, and it was inconvenient to be an eyesore in Beijing, so I naturally had to go out for a walk. This time I came to Yicheng just to see the sea. I also hope that this journey of thousands of miles will not be disappointed. ”
Speaking of the word disappointed, Princess Zhaohua glanced at Ye Tao again.
Min Yue and Peng Detian were shocked when they heard the princess's words. It's hard to say what's going on with the relationship between Chunnan and Dongping, but maybe it's just trade interdependence. Chunnan is rich in grain, over the years, with the adjustment of the maritime tax, the grain of Chunnan has greatly made up for the lack of grain production in Dongping, and the craftsmanship level of all kinds of craftsmen in Dongping is unparalleled in the world, and a large number of weapons have been exported to Chunnan. If it weren't for the support of Dongping Kingdom with the export of weapons a few years ago, I am afraid that the two westernmost states of Chunnan Kingdom would have changed people now. Everyone knows that Xiling Kingdom covets Chunnan Kingdom. But if it weren't for Dongping Guo's strange tricks to provoke, Chunnan Kingdom and Xiling Kingdom would not have fought so quickly, and they would have made trouble out of control.
If Dongping and Chunnan can have a family affair between the royal family, it will be of great benefit to the stability of the relationship between the two countries, as well as to the stability of trade and taxation. It's just that what Princess Zhaohua said about her complaints is indeed reasonable. Sending that Bailian princess to Dongping is probably not entirely kind. If it can make trouble in Dongping Palace, it will be the greatest credit that the Bailian County Lord can make. And judging from various rumors, that Bailian County Lord obviously has this "ability".
For this kind of thing, being able to let the princess explain to herself is certainly a kind of trust, but this trust is not so easy to accept. Min Yue and Peng Detian both knew that it was not appropriate to say anything now, so they just stood quietly like that.
"I'm just casually complaining that the things that have been decided are not something I can change." Princess Zhaohua smiled, breaking the slightly embarrassing atmosphere, "The two adults don't have to mind. My identity is known to the people in this room today, and I want to have fun for a while. When I first came to Yicheng today, it was worth it to meet someone as interesting as Ye Gongzi. I still have to walk on the ground in Yicheng for a while, and I have to take care of it with two adults. ”
Princess Zhaohua said very politely, but Min Yue and Peng Detian said in unison: "Don't dare!" Can't! The two were also very curious, it seemed that in just a few hours, Ye Tao had left a pretty good impression in the princess's mind. With Min Yue's shrewdness, he couldn't help but say tentatively: "Ye Gongzi is a famous talent in Yicheng, although his talent is not in poetry books, probably those who read him can't get used to him, but he also deserves the favor of the princess." Moreover, if you want to talk about the exquisiteness of this Yicheng and the surrounding areas, as well as the delicious and fun places in and out of the city, the Ye family knows better than anyone else. ”
Ye Tao didn't say anything, and Princess Zhaohua said lightly: "That's the best." I was still worried, I saw the Ye family workshop tomorrow, where will I go after that, since Ye Gongzi is familiar with the boundary of Yicheng, and he happens to be a guide for me, so I don't bother the two masters, so I will be more troubled by Ye Gongzi. ”
Min Yue was taken aback and exclaimed: "Ye's workshop? ”
"What's wrong?" Princess Zhaohua asked strangely.
"Ye Tao, he is hiding, Master Peng and I are going to the workshop to see those strange things, he always pushes back, I didn't expect to be so generous, the princess is willing to let you go without revealing her identity? …… Master Peng and I will inevitably have some taste. Min Yue said happily, "I hope the princess doesn't mind letting Xia Guan accompany her." ”
Ye Tao was made inside and out, not a person. He can't explain that the princess is a contemporary of himself, and look at nothing, and I'm going to be tired to death just to explain the mess, right? So he lowered his head and remained silent.
"Oh? And this kind of thing? Princess Zhaohua looked at Ye Tao curiously, nodded, and said, "Lord Min, Lord Peng, then you can come together." ”
