Chapter 175: Princess Pingle
With a lot of worry, she finally walked to the top of the main hall, and the first thing that caught her eye was her favorite orange-red colored silk.
The palace maids came in with all kinds of meals, the dancers were playing a song of joy on the side of the screen, and the attendants stopped and saluted when they saw her.
Mu Guanqing saw that she was not in the right mood, pulled her sleeve, and signaled her not to put Fang Cai's affairs on her face, everything was handled by her personally.
Qin Huai shook his head, looked at Gu Baixiu, who was finally released by Pu Chenming on his side, and smiled indifferently back.
This person is not nervous, he is obviously very conspicuous, but he habitually thinks of himself as air.
Entering the main hall, Qin Huai immediately looked for the figure of the Three Emperor Brothers' and Xuan Paper. I saw that the couple was sitting on the first seat near the left hand side of the dragon chair, and directly opposite was Qin Huai's position.
Both of them are dressed in blue clothes, matching from head to toe, the three emperor brothers are proud of the spring breeze, and they talk happily with Qing Bohou, and the rice paper pours wine for the three emperor brothers with a smile, and the two look at each other frequently.
In anyone's eyes, this is a kind of piano and song, and it doesn't seem to happen at all.
"Huai'er is here, come to your father's side, this is ......"
Queen Luo's family saw Qin Huai from afar, but now she is the protagonist, and as the queen of the East Palace, she should be greeted. But after seeing Gu Baixiu beside her, she couldn't help but be surprised.
His thoughts were hooked back, Qin Huai came back to his senses, took a few steps forward, and slowly saluted when he reached the center. "After Erchen met his father and mother, this is Liu Yanxin's senior brother, a disciple of Pojun Mountain, and a new friend of Erchen."
Liu Yanxin seems to be a shield, and all the problems that push her out will be solved.
Luo chuckled and joked to His Majesty, "Look at our Huai'er has really grown up, today is not only her birthday banquet, but also her celebration party, and there are so many courtesies." β
"Yes, Huai'er, hurry up and take a seat, anyway, the edict has been issued, and there will not be so many vain courtesies at this time, and everyone here is from their own family."
Own family?
Pingnan Wang and his wife sat in the corner, although they were not conspicuous, but Qin Huai saw them at first glance just now.
Princess Pingnan lived in the capital for five years, relying on the queen to ensure that her husband's family was standing, and the queen sympathized with their family's plight, so she left them in Xunyang for the elderly, but they used the false swagger of the king with a different surname to swagger through the market again and again, which is really annoying.
"Liu Yanxin? It has been half a month since Princess Hongyang went to Xijin and her relatives, but until now there is no return visit from the Xijin delegation, and it seems that Emperor Xijin is not satisfied. β
This is the reason why Qin Huai hates King Pingnan, obviously he can't fight in Lanzhou, but at this time, Liu Yanxin has gone away, and he is still saying bad things about others behind his back.
This pattern deserves to be seen by people for a lifetime.
In one sentence, the original harmony of the banquet was dispersed a lot.
"Princess Hongyang and relatives are righteous, if King Pingnan thinks that the banquet is not good, then do you have a daughter in your family who can recommend him to go to harmony?"
Qin Huai's words poked at the sore spot of his couple.
His daughter, Ning Shuying, Qin Huai didn't bother to mention those things that had long been Chen Sesame and rotten grain, but he wanted to bump into them.
"I heard that the little prince is very happy, and there are constant feasts in the house for seven days and seven nights, can't this posture reflect the satisfaction of this family affair?"
Qing Bohou saw the stitches and cleverly avoided an embarrassment.
They are a family of five, except for the Qing Bohou and the princess, Qin Yunli, Qin Yunzhang, and Qin Yue are crowded on two mats, and they are also royal families, but they have already assigned fiefdoms, and it is unreasonable for the princes to stay in the capital, and there are also criticisms in the court, and now this banquet will also be involved.
Yin Wenze and Gan Ziyan are the guests, on the right side of Qin Huai, and Mu Guanqing and Pu Chenming are foreign ministers, and the position is on the right side of the three emperor brothers.
"Your Majesty, the Queen."
Mu Guanqing and Pu Chenming stepped forward at the same time, almost saluting one after another.
"The foreign minister has seen His Majesty's Empressβ"
Ministers? Pu Chenming claimed to be a foreign minister.
When was this happening.
Not only Qin Huai, but Qing Bohou was also taken aback.
"Hey, why does Pu Gongzi call himself like this."
Qin Ying didn't know how to do it, the Pu family firm had never done business with the royal family, and the hunting ground was just in a hurry before, I thought that Pu Chenming would put forward more excessive conditions, but now why is it so simple to surrender to Tianyu?
Pu Chenming did not get up, but smiled at Mu Guanqing.
"Back to Your Majesty, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, I have reached an agreement with the female officials before, and I have been very harmonious with the imperial merchants these days, so I have made up my mind to do business with Tianyu, and naturally someone is also a courtier of Tianyu."
It's as simple as that?
Pu Chenming said this easily, and it was not clear whether he knew how much he was involved behind ensuring a cooperative relationship with Tianyu.
Of course, at the same time, Mu Guanqing glared at him.
Qin Ying smiled, it was Tianyu's honor to be able to cooperate with the world's number one businessman, no matter what tricks this Pu Chenming had, it was always a good thing to respond first at this time.
He raised his hand for the two of them to get up and take their seats, and turned his gaze to the marigold on the table.
"Pu Gongzi is really polite, I heard that all the drinks at this banquet are Pu Gongzi's new brew?"
Finally getting to the point, Qin Huai looked at Pu Chenming, wanting to see how he promoted this marigold, which was named after him.
"Your Majesty doesn't know that the wine used in this banquet is the brainchild of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Yo ho, it's time to throw bricks and lead the way.
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on this wine, especially Qin Yue, who was dressed up to attend, couldn't wait to take a sip of the wine, and looked at Qin Huai incredulously.
The gaze seemed to say: This girl can also make wine? Wouldn't it be that cats and dogs can cook?
Queen Luo also felt fresh, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by this?" β
"Her Royal Highness the princess found the minister a month ago, saying that she wanted to give a gift to His Majesty and the queen. Thinking about the princess's temperament, there is one thing that is most suitable. β
Wine?
The atmosphere was raised, and Mu Guanqing took the lead in holding his forehead, as if he had a premonition of the follow-up.
"Once upon a time, I heard that the four princesses of Tianyu were arrogant and unreasonable, pampered and arrogant, although they had a good skin, they were human-faced and beast-hearted, so the ministers were also worried when they came. But when I really met the princess, I realized how ridiculous the rumors were. β
This, this, this...... Beastly?
Turning around and scolding yourself for being a beast!
Qin Huai immediately caught the twitching corners of Gu Baixiu's mouth beside him.
"In fact, the princess is not a rude person, but she has her attitude towards all things in the world; The princess is not a brute either, but any action in this position will be magnified; The princess is not a vicious person, but has her own way of punishing evil and promoting good. In fact, the princess is also a simple-minded little daughter who has been living under the wings of His Majesty, and is a treasure of Tianyu and a gift from God. This trip to Xiangzhou still illustrates the truth. β
After a long period of wanting to raise and suppress first, Qin Huai "hissed", and his old face turned red.
If he hadn't known Pu Chenming's temperament, he would have thought that he had been secretly in love with him for many years. It is estimated that Pu Chenming praised her so much at this time, and he didn't know that when he left the palace gate, he was going to take out this rhetoric again to reduce his head and exploit her.
However, these words were extremely useful to Qin Ying, the old father, and he almost got up to take the lead.
And on the other side, Qin Yunzhang and Qin Yunli were also staring at each other, one was confused, the other was sour, and everyone's faces were wonderful.
I'm afraid I've been in the mall for a long time, even if I'm lying, my face is not red and my heart is not beating, as long as I believe it, then this thing is true.
Pu Chenming's extremely sincere gaze, coupled with that face that would convince everyone, to be honest, Qin Huai believed it.
"For example, the minister recommended the princess to make wine, and the princess personally took the ingredients, blended, sealed, and brewed. In order to ensure the best taste, more than 20 kinds of ingredients were used successively, and this one was finally chosen. This wine has a mellow aroma in the mouth, a spicy finish and a sweet aftertaste, like a princess. β
It's high.
Qin Huai didn't know that he had made such a great effort in a place that others couldn't see?
When did she make wine herself, this is obviously what Pu Chenming said he would give her......
It turned out that his only birthday gift was not just wine, but borrowed this wine to play such a role.
Pu Chenming's eyes looked over, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, as if he was asking Qin Huai: I didn't lie to you!
"Sure enough, it's good wine, Huai'er really bothered."
Qin Ying drank it all in one gulp, admiring again and again, as if Pu Chenming explained that this ordinary fruit wine was worth a thousand gold.
"My cousin is really versatile, I haven't seen it for a few days, and I have even learned to make wine, so let's tell me what ingredients are in this fruit wine."
Qin Yue was hostile to everything about Qin Huai, and a stupid melon suddenly opened his mind, which was more difficult than a sow going up a tree.
Knowing Qin Yue's purpose, Qin Huai was not afraid, and in order to persuade her to agree, Pu Chenming sent ten carts of marigolds to the princess's mansion. Mingyue Caixia didn't know how much she received from him, so she began to carry it every morning, and even replaced the tea in the teapot with calendula.
If Qin Huai couldn't drink a few ingredients, he would really be sorry for Pu Chenming's good intentions.
Qin Huai was helped to get up, and the accessories on her head jingled, which also indicated that her status was more noble now.
"Since my sister is curious, then I will briefly talk about it, among them are lily of the valley flowers, wild milk peaches, mainly rice wine, white peaches and raspberries."
Qin Yue didn't believe it, brought another cup to herself, frowned and asked, "It's called calendula, isn't there a plum in it?" β
"Although it is called marigold, the plums ripen from June to August, so they only cleverly create the fragrance of plums, and there are no plums in them."
This is Pu Chenming's original words.
Although he was unhappy, Qin Yue had no way to make a move, so he could only lower his head and mutter.
"This wine is good, in the past, the palace needed to be prepared, and it was annoying to Pu Gongzi."
"Nature."
From now on, it will be different, with the emperor's golden mouth, this calendula can be said to have doubled in value, and it has become the imperial wine in the palace at once, and it is estimated that Pu Chenming's business will double again.
Businessman, you can't afford to mess with it!
"On this trip to Xiangzhou, the concubine saw that the princess was a lot thinner, and she thought she should be tired, what are the difficulties on this road?"
Concubine Shu, who had been silent, looked at Qin Huai and suddenly spoke up.
Seeing Concubine Shu talking, Qin Huai still remembered the day she made up her mind to go, and what Concubine Shu said, she was still grateful in her heart.
"The people of Xiangzhou are very good, and there are also Yin Gu Lord and Gan Dao Chang to help, these two can be said to be the nobles of my Tianyu."
Speaking of this, Yin Wenze and Gan Zizhi stood up one after another and saluted silently.
These two people are not laymen, they can still hold the scene in the palace, and they are calm and calm.
For these two, of course, Qin Ying wanted to thank him again, he stood up as His Majesty and toasted, "I would like to thank the two masters for helping me Tianyu, if you need anything, just ask." β
Gan Ziyan took the lead in bowing, "Poor Dao has nothing to ask for, I just want to learn from the doctors of the Tai Hospital, and I hope that Your Majesty will be fulfilled." β
But it's a trifle.
"If I can get the guidance of a master, it is my luck, and this matter will be handed over to the female official."
"Yes." Mu Guanqing looked Gan Zizhi up and down, showed a rare smile, and looked at Yin Wenze again, "I don't know what Lord Yin Gu needs, but it doesn't hurt to say it." β
Yin Wen is herself an empty valley orchid, and the world can't climb her, she is also blunt: "Medicine Master Gu has been living in seclusion, and this time I dare not take credit for the trust of the princess." β
"In that case, let's wait for Lord Yin Gu to think about it." Mu Guanqing was polite for His Majesty, and brought all the friendship of landlords to the extreme.
Since Yin Wenze has already been mentioned, and all of you here are first-class figures in Tianyu, who hasn't heard hundreds of gossip in this area?
"I heard that Pu Gongzi and Yaoshi Gu still have a strange relationship, and now that Yin Gu is here, you might as well ask Pu Gongzi, the person concerned, to tell us, is this rumor true?"
Qin Yunzhang seemed to have some kind of look, and at this time, he didn't open any pot and which pot was mentioned, pointing the finger at the identity of Pu Chenming's illegitimate son, as if he couldn't get used to seeing him in the limelight.
The illegitimate son is always the center of criticism, no matter how good Pu Chenming is, he can't avoid the identity.
After all, he will not be recognized.
Even if he doesn't need to be recognized at all.
The atmosphere cooled down suddenly, Mu Guanqing showed a look of displeasure, and then was about to interrupt, but Pu Chenming answered directly.
"Lord Yin Gu is actually half of my little sister, and this time the princess also has a trust, so I asked Sister Yin to help."
In this way, is it not enough to admit one's identity soon?
Qin Huai didn't know what to do now, and the hand that had nowhere to be placed under the table was suddenly held by Gu Baixiu.
"It seems that the rumors from the outside world are true, it turns out that Pu Gongzi is really the merchant of the Medicine Valley...... Outer room? β
These words are so harsh.
"Not really!"
Yin Wen suddenly stepped forward and interrupted Qin Yunzhang's bastard words, he did not hide his indignation, and clenched his fists with both hands, as if he was going to duel with Qin Yunzhang in the next second.
"You, what are you doing!"
