Chapter Twenty-Eight: On the Lake
"No, we don't have time to talk to you. Li Yunmeng said angrily to Linghua.
"It's not that I let you go, it's our princess who has been invited, you have to figure this out. Linghua said to Li Yunmeng with a smile, she was smiling, but her words were soft and hard, and she already had a threatening meaning.
"What do you mean, if I don't go, you have to come hard, then you try. Li Yunmeng's temper came up, staring at Linghua and said.
"Sister Linghua, don't worry, let's take a break, I'm tired of a day, I advise Jing to be clumsy. Xiao Ruoshui looked at the two people facing Mai Mang, dizzy, and hurriedly pulled the princess to the side and beckoned Linghua to sit down. He took the princess to whisper in Li Yunmeng's ear in a place where there were few people on the side: "We are in the Turks now, don't play with the temper of a child, don't forget that we are spies, we can't be so attractive." "He used a converging voice, and it was impossible for all the people to hear what he said.
"You mean we're going to talk to them, do you have a crush on someone else? The princess said viciously to Xiao Ruoshui.
"Don't think about it, how can I be, you use your own brain to think about it, whether your personal temper is important, or the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border are important, you should distinguish which is more important. Xiao Ruoshui said to the princess with a straight face.
"Okay, people listen to you, don't talk about it. The princess lowered her head and said aggrievedly.
"Remember, no matter how wronged, we must be amiable, we are not only our own lives, but also the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Xiao Ruoshui looked at the princess. Staring into the princess's eyes, he said. The princess bowed her head and remained silent.
"Let's go, follow Linghua to the Turkic princess. Xiao Ruoshui said. The princess lowered her head and stopped talking, and followed Xiao Ruoshui to Linghua without saying a word.
"Please Sister Linghua to lead the way, I don't know which princess you are?" Xiao Ruoshui said to Linghua with a smile.
"Our princess is the second princess of the Khan, her name is Zhuoya, she is the first beauty on our grassland, and she is also the first talented girl on our grassland. It's a blessing that she can let you talk to her. We princesses don't usually like to talk to others. Ling Lace said proudly on the side of the road.
"I didn't expect you princesses to be so versatile. It seems that Xiao Ruoshui is blessed today, and it is estimated that he will have good luck when he goes back. Xiao Ruoshui complimented.
"You're really good at talking, Ha Luha," Reika said with a smile. By the way, she glanced at Li Yunmeng, she wondered how this arrogant and domineering woman had become so low-brow and pleasing now. Like a virtuous lady. She was a little curious about how Xiao Ruoshui made her change so quickly in an instant.
"Princess. Here they are, this is our princess. Linghua walked up to the princess and introduced.
"I have seen Princess Zhuoya in Xia Xiao Ruoshui and Beinei. Xiao Rushui said with a non-arrogant and humble manner. The princess also gave a salute.
"Xiao Gongzi, please sit down, don't be formal, I'm just a little bored on this lake. Xiao Gongzi is from the Central Plains, so please ask Xiao Gongzi to come and tell me about the Central Plains, Xiao Gongzi will not think that the little woman is abrupt. Princess Zhuoya invited Xiao Ruoshui and Li Yunmeng to sit down, and Shi Li said.
"Where is it, Princess Zhuoya, you are polite, if there is anything, just ask, I must know everything and say everything. Xiao Ruoshui sat down and said to the princess with a smile.
"That's great, Linghua, you also sit down with Mrs. Xiao, and I'll ask Mr. Xiao some questions. The princess pointed to the seat next to the princess and said. Linghua said yes and sat down next to the princess.
"Xiao Gongzi, please drink tea and taste the tea of our grassland. The princess said, pointing to the teacup.
"Okay, although the mouth is strong, but after taking a big sip, I immediately feel that the heat is gone, and my body is very refreshed. Xiao Ruoshui took a big sip of praise and praised.
"It seems that Xiao Gongzi is also a person who loves tea, and he is very interested in tea. The princess looked at Xiao Ruoshui approvingly and said.
"I'm just a businessman, I have a lot of places, I just drank a few more sips of tea, it's not researched, it's not as elegant as the ancient style of Wei and Jin, and the crane dance of cooking tea. Xiao Ruoshui waved his hand and said.
"We don't produce tea in the grassland, but we can't do without tea, all the tea leaves are transported from the Central Plains and then processed here, what do you think of this matter, Brother Xiao?" the princess also said lightly.
"This tea seems to be pressed, so it seems to be better to process it in the tea producing area. Xiao Ruoshui took another sip and said.
"What Brother Xiao said is very true, if only we Turks also had a place where tea is produced. Every year, the tea will cost me a million taels of silver in the Turkic Empire, which is indeed a big expense. Therefore, I have to buy raw tea processed in the grassland, and the cost is not small. The princess looked at Xiao Ruoshui and said, a pair of bright eyes blinking behind the veil, and there was a wise gaze in her eyes.
"I'm just a businessman and doesn't understand this, don't be surprised by this princess. Xiao Rushui felt a chill in his heart, and secretly glanced at Li Yunmeng, what reassured him was that Li Yunmeng didn't seem to have a seizure, but just tasted tea with peace of mind and didn't say a word.
"Brother Xiao has done something big recently, you won't forget this, right?" Princess Zhuoya said as she stared at Xiao Ruoshui.
"Which one is Princess Zhuoya referring to, I really don't know what to do. Xiao Ruo asked quietly if the water surface stopped.
"Phoenix Set has opened its port, for the first time in thirty years, it is said that a young man took a woman to rescue Phoenix Set, does Brother Xiao know about this matter?" Princess Zhuoya stared at Xiao Ruoshui.
"I heard about this, so we hurried to the royal court to purchase a batch of materials in case we could make a lot of money after the opening of the Phoenix Market. Xiao Ruoshui said with his eyebrows fluttering, like a mercenary businessman.
"Brother Xiao really doesn't know who broke the situation of Zhenlong and saved Phoenix Town?" the princess still stared at Xiao Ruoshui and asked.
"I really don't know what to do, and I also received an invitation to know about the opening of the phoenix set in the next place, so I have to rush to the royal court to do a great job, and now I know the princess, it will be even better, when I get to the princess's name in the royal court, the price of horses and furs is estimated to be at least half lower, and the princess must help at that time." Xiao Ruoshui's eyes were shining, his hands were shining, his mouth was constantly complimenting, with a greedy face and a full businessman image.
The princess looked at Xiao Ruoshui in disappointment, with a hint of tiredness in her eyes, but it was gone in a blink of an eye. She beckoned to take a painting from the guards beside her, took the painting and said to Xiao Ruoshui: "This portrait is painted by the best painter in the Phoenix Collection, and the painting is the two people who rescued the Phoenix Collection, Brother Xiao won't not know himself, right? If it is Brother Xiao who opens it, then Brother Xiao will be punished." Princess Zhuoya was holding the painting and dangling it in Xiao Ruoshui, her face suddenly turned pale, and there seemed to be more murderous intent in her eyes, and her words were more like threats and coercion. In front of him, Xiao Rushui was shocked, but he still looked innocent, he didn't answer, just looked at the princess, looked at the princess's eyes. But he was disappointed, this princess Zhuoya seemed to be much older than hers, so he couldn't see any flaws. He doesn't care on the surface, but in fact, cold sweat has broken out on his back, what should he do......?
