Chapter 148: First Encounter with the Crown Princess
"You said that all floors of Tianyun Tower are full?!" Ah Chun's eyes widened, this is too exaggerated, right?
She had been to Tianyun Tower when she was with Li Chenji before, and generally only opened the first three floors, so many dignitaries and nobles in the capital were enough to come and go to businessmen, but this time she opened all the floors directly with such a big deal, and the number of people that can accommodate is at least tens of thousands, right?
And the design of this Tianyun Building is really good, the huge round platform in the middle is usually used to perform songs and dances, so that the guests on all floors can see Lin Qing clearly, so that it is more convenient for everyone to observe when it is used to hold a famous flower meeting.
"Panzi, who are you talking to outside?" A strong male voice came from the carriage driven by the little guy, "Master Hui, it's next door, and it's stuck on the road like us." ”
The voice inside sighed, "It seems that there are a lot of people coming to the Famous Flower Festival this year, several times more than last year!" ”
The little guy was puzzled, "Master, why are there so many more people?" ”
"You don't understand this, where are the people who go to this flower party to see the flowers, obviously they are going to get to know each other and talk, it's similar to the banquet in the palace, but it's a little more free than the banquet, and it is said that there will be an auction after the famous flower party."
"Auction?"
The two cars were originally close to each other, and the carriage was not soundproof, but what the adult said fell on Lin Qingqing's ears, and she pulled the corner of Zhao Kuangyan's clothes, "Does the husband also know about this auction?" ”
Zhao Kuangyan nodded, "Naturally, I know, it is said that the auctions are some strange things from all over the world, and if Mrs. is interested, you can auction them." ”
Zhao Kuangyan is really not short of money now, after returning to Beijing before, His Majesty rewarded him with 10,000 taels of gold alone, three sets of mansions, seven or eight shops, not to mention some silk utensils and the like, the wedding is as much as 30,000 taels of rewards from the Queen Mother and the Queen alone, and the value of some gems and jewelry is even more difficult to estimate.
The rewards of the previous days were gathered again, and now the entire inventory was full, plus some of his capital, if Lin Qingqing wanted something, it would be an easy matter.
"Really? Then you're welcome! Lin Qingqing was naturally joking about this, after all, she was not the kind of person who was a big spender, although she knew that Kuangyan was now a lot of money, but the dowry she brought was not covered, and it was more than enough for what she wanted to buy.
Maybe the congestion in front was cleared, and the carriage behind was quickly picked up, and after driving for almost twenty minutes, Ah Chun saw the Tianyun Tower in the center of the huge courtyard.
Tianyun Tower has a history of eight years, and this flower party was held in the third year of Tianyun Tower's opening, and this year is exactly the fifth year.
Tianyunlou is also a unique scenery in the capital, the manor covering an area of thousands of acres is like a small paradise in general, with its own streets and vendors, the crowds are endless, now it is the season of peach blossoms, the carriage drives on the spacious bluestone road, you can see the bright and brilliant peach blossoms that open every other section, with the sweetness of the silk.
Lin Qingqing was here for the first time, although he had heard Ah Chun describe how magnificent this Tianyun Tower was, it was not as good as what he had seen with his own eyes at the moment.
Such a big deal, if it doesn't have something to do with the royal family, it may not be able to be opened.
Lin Qingqing has done business himself, and he still knows a little bit about business, looking at it so pleasing to the eye, he doesn't know how much silver it will cost, since this Tianyun Tower can be opened, it means that some of them are earning.
Looking at this look, it is estimated that there is a lot of money.
The carriage ran around the manor for a long time, and finally arrived at the central Tianyun Tower when Lin Qingqing was almost tired of seeing the scenery.
"Phew!" Yin Wu stopped the carriage, and Ah Chun jumped down with it, and at this time, a middle-aged man dressed in dark silk greeted him with a smile.
The man arched his hand and said, "But His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince?" ”
Yin Wu nodded, "Exactly, I don't know who you are?" ”
The man hurriedly introduced himself, "The contemptible surname is Jin, and he is one of the stewards of this Tianyun Tower, and when he heard that His Royal Highness the Sixth has arrived, he specially came to greet him." ”
"Steward Jin, but I have a heart." Zhao Kuangyan heard the movement outside, so he took the first step to lift the curtain and walked out, and a purple robe set off him even more handsome and upright.
After seeing him, Steward Jin's originally small eyes turned into a slit of laughter, looking a little funny: "The presence of His Royal Highness Sixth can make Tianyun Tower shine!" I don't know if the princess is here together? ”
"Naturally, I came, Mrs. said that the scenery here is good, and I want to come to enjoy the flowers together, and the golden shopkeeper will not be unwelcome, right?"
The golden steward smiled and said, "How can this be, the little one is still looking forward to the princess coming, recently the peach blossoms and pear blossoms in this yard have bloomed, the red and white are correspondingly very good-looking, the princess has come to the right place, this capital whenever spring comes, it is the best scenery of this cloud tower!" ”
"Steward Jin boasted about this Tianyun Tower like this, if the imperial concubine is not satisfied, isn't it yours to be responsible?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a pink dress fluttering, accompanied by the sound of jingling jade beads, and a beauty dressed in snow-white mink came from not far away.
The eyebrows are like flowers, the eyebrows are red, the smiles are charming, and the butterfly and jade hairpin on the head are shaking so that everyone can't take their eyes off.
Zhao Kuangyan lowered his eyes slightly, and called, "Imperial sister-in-law." ”
This is the crown princess - Xu Lingyun, the niece of the current prime minister.
Here I have to talk about Xu Wenyang's life experience, the Xu family is a famous family, with three thousand beauties in the harem, among which Concubine De and Concubine Shu are all members of the Xu family, and the Xu family has many brothers, this Xu Wenyang is only a concubine born to the second aunt, and the status can be imagined.
But no one thought that this often bullied cousin would sit in a position that is now out of their reach, and what an honor it must be to be the prime minister!
After Xu Wenyang sat in the position of prime minister, he began to carry out a series of purges on the Xu family, although it was said that there were orders from His Majesty, but I am afraid that he vented the humiliation he suffered when he was young.
It's no wonder that the Xu family thinks very highly of themselves, and has committed a lot of things, and was finally found out by Xu Wenyang one by one, the Xu family was shattered overnight, and the strength in the court was uprooted.
Xu Lingyun was originally just a side branch of the Xu family, just because she gave the hungry Xu Wenyang a few steamed buns when she was young, and now she has soared to the position of the crown princess, enjoying endless glory and wealth, and envying others.
Xu Lingyun is a smart person, she knows that she can sit in this position not because of the grace of the meal back then, but because Xu Wenyang is obedient, so she is doing things for him now, passing on everything about the prince.
And the news that Zhao Kuangyan would be assassinated was also overheard by her and passed on to Xu Wenyang, and when she thought of Xiao Hengyin's angry appearance, she was extremely happy.
If you want to say why Xu Lingyun resents the prince so much, you have to start from her dead bamboo horse, the young Xu Lingyun was born with a good appearance, and she could cover it up when she was a child, and when she grew up, she was even more out of the pavilion, born with a charming temperament, and was once favored by the prince who went on patrol, but at that time Xu Lingyun was engaged to the bamboo horse who grew up together.
The prince didn't stop doing anything, so he simply found a reason to execute the man, wanting to snatch Xu Lingyun into his hands.
Xu Lingyun's father is just a small master, where can any force compete with the prince, so he had to give her to Xiao Hengyin, Xu Lingyun, who went to the prince's residence, washed her face with tears all day long, and her spirit was not good, and her pretty face naturally became old, and the prince didn't like to give her up and look for a new beauty.
And at this time, she saw the person who changed her life, and that was Xu Wenyang.
