Chapter 97 Princess Pingyang
"Forget it, forgot, she's coming, just treat it carefully then."
Xiao Ming sighed deeply.
This Pingyang Princess is not Xiao Ming’s half-sister or sister, but Xiao Wenxuan’s aunt and Xiao Wenxuan’s real sister.
Xiao Wenxuan can be said to be extremely doting on this young sister, almost to the point of indulgence.
This Princess Pingyang was also used to being doting and was lawless in Chang'an, especially after the death of the princess's illness, Princess Pingyang's reputation was well known.
There were only one person who had sex with her, from first-rank officials to peddlers and pawns, and this person had to be handsome.
Moreover, it is said that she also raised a male lover in the mansion. In such an era, Princess Pingyang can be said to be a pioneer among women.
It is precisely because of her that the women in Chang'an are more open than the women in it, which shows the influence of this Princess Pingyang.
However, although Princess Pingyang's private life is chaotic, she is extremely smart. It is said that she has a lot of property at home and is equivalent to a rich woman in modern times. And using her reputation, Princess Pingyang is full of fish in water in this patriarchal era, which has made her business a lot more convenient. If she can't make the richest man in advance, she can also rank second.
For Xiao Ming, this shrewd aunt, who is somewhat similar to modern socialites, is a difficult character, and is a good player when changing his mind.
And she could not refuse this aunt's visit because he needed help from Chang'an.
Now the princes are at odds, and he is far away in Qingzhou. If something goes wrong in Chang'an, how to bring Zhenfei out is a problem.
But this aunt is versatile and has many ministers under her sect. It can be said that it is also a force that cannot be ignored in Chang'an. At that time, he may need his help.
"Since that's the case, I will arrange for the preparations in the mansion. The Empress said that when she sent this letter, His Royal Highness the Princess had already set off. According to this day, it would probably be almost here." Ziyuan said.
Xiao Ming waved his hand and asked Ziyuan to prepare, but he lost the mood to continue teasing the little maid.
Whether it is King Wei or King Yan who comes, he can easily send him away. If this person comes, he will have a headache.
...
Two days later, an extremely luxurious carriage slowly drove from the official road of Qingzhou City. There were thousands of guards escorting both sides of the carriage, each wearing golden armor and golden feathered helmets, with a serious expression and a majestic weapon.
The curtains of the carriage are made of purple silk, full of patterns carved with golden vines. Exquisite jade hangs from the roof of the carriage on all sides, and each jade is worth a thousand gold.
When the people on the official road saw such a horse team gathering, they flashed to both sides, and some businessmen swept greedily over the jade and gold silk lines.
But when they saw the fierce golden armored soldiers, they immediately lowered their heads.
Gradually the city gate is approaching.
A knight in charge came to the carriage and said, "Your Highness, Qingzhou City has arrived."
"Yes, then you can see if someone is greeting me at the city gate. Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for five years. I don't know if this kid will give me the face of my aunt."
A lazy and soft voice came from the carriage, and then an arm that looked like a spring lotus root pulled open the curtains, revealing an extremely delicate and charming face.
When the knight saw this face, a hint of fanaticism flashed in his eyes. He said, "I saw many people standing outside the city gate, probably King Qi."
Princess Pingyang then poked her head out and looked at her. She saw Xiao Ming wearing a purple robe at the door, and the green ivy and Aster who were with Xiao Ming.
"That's right, it's Xiao Ming." Princess Pingyang took the carriage back, "This nephew is still giving my aunt a face, so hurry up and go there."
The knight nodded and shouted. The groom who was driving the cart raised his whip. The cart was several times faster, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the city gate.
At this time, Xiao Ming was smiling bitterly at the pair of people. Only this aunt could use something that was not useful in the Golden Armor.
Seeing the curtains open, a graceful woman leaned out, Xiao Ming immediately said, "My nephew has seen his aunt."
"Hello... Ming'er, you haven't seen each other for five years, but you are becoming more and more handsome. Come and let your aunt see." Before getting off the car, Princess Pingyang smiled, and then a gust of fragrant wind came to Xiao Ming.
This fragrance is exactly the taste of peony perfume.
"Auntie's face remains unchanged, she is as beautiful as before." The strong perfume smell made Xiao Ming feel a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but shrugging his nose.
Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "This mouth is much sweeter."
Xiao Ming smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, and I would like to ask you to enter the city and go to the royal palace to talk about it."
Princess Pingyang nodded. At this time, there were many people waiting to enter the city. A group of people surrounded them and watched. She turned around and got on the carriage again.
Xiao Ming led the way in front, and the carriage followed the people from the royal palace to walk inside.
When passing by the city gate, Princess Pingyang raised the curtains and looked at the soldiers guarding the city at the city gate.
These soldiers wore silver armor, which was different from the ones in the Great Yu ****. All the parts of these soldiers were wrapped in armor, and they looked as intimidating as an iron monster.
The spears in the hands of these soldiers also emit silver light, and the spear tips are very sharp, which is a very exquisite weapon at first glance.
"Strange, what kind of armor is this?" Princess Pingyang fell into deep thought.
Whenever Qingzhou was mentioned in Chang'an, both princes and ministers showed disdain, as if Qingzhou was a barbarian land.
Even though Qingzhou products have caused sensation in Chang'an again and again in the past six months, this sense has not changed. After all, doing business is not ashamed of scholars.
Therefore, Xiao Ming, the dignified vassal king, was even more looked down upon by the powerful and powerful people in Chang'an. Although many princes also did business, they were done by vassal merchants after all, and they were just providing convenience.
After passing the city gate, she continued to look at Qingzhou City and found that there were many merchants coming and going in the city, most of whom were pulling goods, including soap, perfume, and drunk Qingzhou wine.
Occasionally, several scholars could be seen gathered together on both sides of the road. They were arguing about something in front of a piece of paper full of words, as if something was a big deal on the paper.
What made her even more strange was that there seemed to be a lot of slaves in Qingzhou City. In a short while, a group of people with slave marks could be seen passing by. However, these slaves were not full of sorrow like slaves in other places, but instead they were talking and laughing at the transport of ore, coal and other things.
Scenes of scenes came into view, and Princess Pingyang suddenly felt that she had come right. During this period, Qingzhou seemed to have seen many changes that were not available in other places.
