"Miss, this is a letter from Miss Ling."

As soon as he got up in the morning, Xunshuang ran in with joy and handed Yan Qingge a box.

Yan Qingge held his forehead and said, "This is impatient!" At this time, I sent a letter, and I was afraid that before dawn, I would ask someone to rush here. ”

"That's Miss Ling, thinking about you, Miss." Frost said pleasantly.

Yan Qingge opened the envelope, looked at it, and shook his head with a smile: "She was thinking about me, she asked me to meet at the newly opened wine shop on Fuxiang Street today!" We only came back yesterday, what's the matter? Has the forbidden city in Beijing been restored? ”

Xunshuang also shook his head: "Our Zhuangzi is in the suburbs, whether we recover or not, it doesn't matter much, but I haven't heard anyone talk about it." ”

Now Yan Shuyu is thinking about Concubine Feng day and night, at this juncture, Yan Qingge didn't plan to go out, for fear of catching fire. In addition, when I came back to the capital, some people who were close to each other wanted to give the local products brought from Qingzhou as gifts, and they could not be delayed.

But when Ling Xiao came to invite, it was different.

She smiled and said, "Ask someone to prepare the carriage and take some of the gifts brought by Qingzhou." ”

Xunshuang Linghui's eyes rolled and said mischievously: "I know! Left and right are not gadgets from gold mines. ”

Yan Qingge couldn't help laughing at her: "What a poor-mouthed girl, just a little thing, I've remembered it for so long." ”

About an hour and a half later, Yan Qingge arrived at Fuxiang Street.

After a few months, the street has returned to prosperity, although it has not completely eased up, but it is still full of people coming and going.

Yan Qingge slightly opened the curtain and looked out, and saw that the door of the store that should have been open to the Yun's embroidery workshop was closed tightly, mixed in a bunch of lively shops that opened to welcome customers, which was particularly eye-catching.

Yan Qingge shook his head slightly, lowered the curtain, and after a while, the carriage stopped.

Xunshuang jumped down first, put down the stool for Yan Qingge, and helped her out. Ling Xiao saw the carriage of Yanwang's Mansion and had already come out, and when he saw Yan Qingge, he smiled and frowned: "I can count on you coming." ”

The two sisters entered the house hand in hand, and Ling Xiao looked left and right: "What about Aman and Wan'er?" ”

"When I went out, these two were still asleep."

"I was careless! No matter how good the road is, it is not as stable as at home, but the two children have suffered a lot, and they have to rest for a while before they can slow down. Ling Xiao sighed.

Yan Qingge walked while looking at the wine shop.

When she entered the door, she raised her eyes and saw that the name of the wine shop was Zuixian Pavilion, not only there was a place to sell wine on the first floor, but there was also a private seat on the second floor, so that she could taste wine condescendingly.

After entering the door, in addition to a row of delicate and special wine racks, there are also a few pink cards hanging on the counter, most of which are painted in a fresh green, and the name and price of the wine are written on it. There are a few vermilion pink cards on the side, and a few side dishes are written to accompany the wine, and the price is very outrageous, more than three or four times more expensive than ordinary stores.

"Let's sit upstairs." Ling Xiao took Yan Qingge's arm and walked upstairs, and when he was at the staircase, he looked back and smiled below: "I asked the back to make a good dim sum and send it, and then served us fragrant tea and sherbet." ”

Yan Qingge is too much to drink, and Ling Xiao is not a greedy person, so the two are not so polite, and they have to have wine to talk.

As soon as he went up to the second floor, Yan Qingge's eyes couldn't help but light up.

No wonder Ling Xiao's side dishes sold in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion are more expensive than others, it turns out that the second floor is really well cleaned up.

In such a large place, there are only four private rooms separated by a total of four private rooms, each of which is not connected and you can't see the other's situation, but when you sit inside, you can enjoy a large and beautiful view of the city through the windows that almost open the entire wall.

The layout inside is even more elegant and pleasant, and it is not a restaurant at all, when it is a private room of the princess's family, you can come here to drink, and there is an atmosphere.

Ling Xiao pulled Yan Qingge into the private room with the inscription "Invite Mingyue", and said with a light smile: "This room is the best to enjoy the moon, I book it out at night, and I won't accept outsiders during the day. ”

"What a great place!" Yan Qingge stretched out his hand and touched the double-layer crystal exquisite bead curtain hanging next to the wine table, and he could imagine what kind of grand scene it was to enjoy the moon here at night.

This business effort, Ling Xiao is really not bad.

After sitting down, Yan Qingge asked, "When I came here, I saw that Yun's embroidery village was closed. But what's wrong? ”

"Didn't the eldest princess tell you?" Ling Xiao spoke, his expression was a little weird, he thought about it, shook his head, and said, "It's too!" It's always inappropriate for her. ”

Yan Qingge's curiosity was aroused, and he asked, "What the hell is going on." ”

"What is said outside is that the four princes were too harsh to ban the market and the night some time ago, and they were too exploitative, so they took away all the rights and ordered them to think about it behind closed doors at home." Ling Xiao said.

"What does that actually look like?" Yan Qingge understands that this is just a rhetoric to the outside world, in fact, there must be another real version.

Ling Xiao lowered his voice and whispered, "Your sister-in-law is a concubine, do you know what the real reason is?" There is a rumor that she got the evidence of the four princes' disobedience from Concubine Rong and handed it over to the right minister of the court, so she was kept as a concubine, and the four princes were also put under house arrest. Some people also said that in fact, your sister-in-law was looking for the eldest princess of Roufu at first, and then she was rejected. The day after your talented sister was named a concubine, Prince Yan applied for punishment in front of hundreds of officials in the court for something innocuous and harmless. ”

Yan Qingge was stunned when he heard it.

She hadn't been back for a few months, and so much had happened in Kyok. This matter has affected Lord Yan, and it is no wonder that the eldest princess of Roufu did not tell her, probably because she was afraid that Yan Qingge would feel uncomfortable when she said it.

"My sister-in-law is a careful person." Yan Qingge nodded slightly: "It's a good thing that the fourth prince was arrested, but my sister-in-law seemed to have colluded with the fourth prince before, why did the two of them suddenly become like this, I always feel that something is inappropriate." ”

"Eighty percent is due to the uneven distribution of spoils. This matter is not without a trace, isn't the prince going to open the sea ban, this is a big errand, the fourth prince wants to intervene, it seems that your sister is in the palace to say good things to her, and then somehow it got into trouble. In fact, Rong Guifei Niangniang is the most pitiful, I always feel that Rong Guifei Niangniang doesn't seem to know. ”

Yan Qingge saw that Ling Xiao was not worth it for Concubine Rong, and he didn't argue. Of the three sisters at the beginning, only Ling Xiao really lived in the palace, and she didn't know what kind of place the palace was at all.

Concubine Rong can do the position of concubine, she is definitely not the kind of person who will be easily deceived, she absolutely knows about the affairs of the four princes, but she is very good at being a person, she has never leaked, and she has coaxed everyone to be happy, so she can win sympathy now.

After a while, the people brought the sherbet and snacks, Yan Qingge tasted it, and it tasted really good.

She was excited and told Ling Xiao about the customs of the north.

Ling Xiao has never been to Qingzhou, his big eyes flickered, and he heard Yan Qingge say that there are several places in Qingzhou that want to open the sea ban, and in the future, with the city shipping company, he can buy a large number of fine furs, pearls, and gems from abroad, and he can't help but clap his hands and say: "It's really good!" In the past, my father bought me gems from outside, so big and so clear, we can rarely find them in Dazhou. ”

The two sisters talked and talked, and then talked about the specialties of various places, and finally found an amazing fact, there is a large Zhou Don't look at the vast territory, in fact, there is really no particularly commendable product.

"The north is rich in gold and silver deposits, overseas gems, ginseng, fur, rice in the southwest can be harvested four times a year, the east is near the sea, all kinds of seafood treasures, countless. Only the people in the hinterland of Dazhou will only work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and do some work to feed their stomachs. Ling Xiao said with some emotion.

Yan Qingge lived a lifetime, of course, she had known this situation for a long time, she smiled and said, "That's not the case!" Although there is gold and silver in the north, they don't understand metallurgy, and those who know these things are still my big Zhou. There are gems, ginseng, and furs overseas, but in those small countries, some places still do not wear shoes, and the language is not understood ten miles away, and there is no writing of their own. On the east side of the sea, there are all kinds of seafood treasures, but they can't afford it themselves, so they can only ship it to our Dazhou hinterland to sell. It can be seen that in this world, the richest people are still our Great Zhou people, because we have writing, inheritance, etiquette, and education! ”

As soon as Yan Qingge's words fell, he heard a burst of applause outside the door of the box, and then the door was pushed open.

Ling Xiao and Yan Qingge were startled, their faces were ugly and tight.

"Who is it? Be sneaky and listen to people! Before Ling Xiao could see clearly who the person who came in, he stood up and scolded: "Xiao Er, why did you let people go upstairs indiscriminately." ”

The second floor of her Drunken Immortal Pavilion has had an excellent reputation since it opened, and all the guests were positioned in advance. Of today's four Accords, two are booked in the afternoon and two in the evening, and other times are closed to guests. It's still morning, and it stands to reason that guests shouldn't come.

I saw a mermaid outside, led by a young man in brocade, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a narrow distance between his eyebrows and eyes, looking a little mean, with a little fine lines at the corners of his eyes and mouth, as if he had gone through a lot of wind and frost.

Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao recognized it, isn't this person the second prince?

The second prince has been under house arrest since a few years ago, when will he be able to move freely?

The two sisters looked at each other, but they still suppressed the surprise in their hearts and saluted the second prince.

"How much trouble you have!" The second prince was polite and saluted Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao: "I invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to drink in the afternoon, I was afraid that the greeting would not be good, so I came to take a look in advance, I didn't expect to hear such a wonderful conversation, I heard Xiao Er say, inside are Princess Ning and Princess Zhongwang, and I are old acquaintances, so I couldn't help but come in and see it." ”

The emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and even though Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao didn't like the second prince anymore, they still lowered their heads to listen to him. Especially when the second prince called Ling Xiao the princess of the loyal king, Ling Xiao's arm trembled fiercely. Don't these two princes really know that she has already divorced!
