Liu Mingzhi did not explain to the ladies what celebrity effect was, because he knew in his heart that with the intelligence of the beauties, they would understand what this term meant in three days.
Two days later, the imperial court's Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian sent officials to crowded places in and outside the capital to post news that the emperor would take the current queen and concubines to the Zixia Temple in the east of the city to offer incense.
The news spread throughout the capital in just half a day, and people in teahouses and restaurants all discussed the matter.
The next day, as soon as it got dark, the people who lived a prosperous and idle life rushed towards Qinglong Main Street with their families, preparing to pay homage to the sky when His Majesty the Emperor was on his way to Zixia Temple.
However, what the people who poured into the streets never expected was that they did not wait for Young Master Liu to show up, but instead waited for the soldiers of the Imperial Army who were galloping on their horses and shouting loudly.
"His Majesty said that I am suddenly ill today and cannot go to Zixia Temple to offer incense for the moment. I have specially ordered the Queen and all the concubines to go to Zixia Temple to offer incense instead. I would like to express my respect for Taoist Sanqing."
Several soldiers of the Forbidden Army shouted and rushed towards the city gate. The people who heard the shouts were disappointed and subconsciously wanted to disperse.
Then I thought about it, even if I can't see His Majesty the Emperor, it is still a blessing to see the empress and the many beauties in the harem!
It is said that His Majesty the Emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem, all of whom are beautiful and fragrant. If I can see the beauty of these empresses today, I will have more bragging rights when I meet my relatives and friends in the future.
So those people who originally wanted to disperse chose to stay, looking expectantly towards the palace gate at the end of Qinglong Main Street.
After about half a day, the anxious people who had been waiting suddenly heard the sweet sound of gongs and suddenly became energetic.
When the gong cleared the way, the Queen must have left the palace with her many concubines.
Sure enough, behind the Forbidden Army soldiers who were sounding gongs to clear the way, more than a dozen extraordinary-looking Fengju came into the eyes of the people on both sides of the street.
The dense crowds of people on both sides hurriedly stood on tiptoes and looked under the canopy of Fenghu, hoping to catch a glimpse of the charming faces of the many harem beauties who would captivate the country.
However, the people who had been waiting eagerly were disappointed again. They did see a dozen ladies wearing phoenix crowns and harems, but the cheeks of these ladies were all covered with gauze scarves as thin as cicada wings, covering their phoenix faces.
You can only vaguely see the graceful and luxurious appearance of the beauties under their veils, which makes many gentlemen feel itchy in their hearts and want to scold them.
The family members of the gentlemen ignored the appearance of the beauties and were attracted by the jewelry worn by the beauties.
Looking at the dazzling diamond jewelry on the beauties, the girls and wives on both sides of the street showed excited and longing eyes.
There is only one thought in my mind, where do all the ladies buy their jewelry? Why have we never seen it in many jewelry stores in Shiliufang?
Is it a new category recently launched in a certain jewelry store? Or was it made exclusively for the palace craftsmen?
No, I have to go to the jewelry store first when I get back.
On the tower of the palace wall, Qi Yun, the Queen and the other beauties put down the telescopes in their hands and looked at Young Master Liu who was sitting on the tower, sipping tea carefully.
"Husband, this is too much of a loss for you. How could you deceive your own subjects like this?"
"That's right, what kind of bad idea are you doing? After seeing the expressions on the faces of those common women, I couldn't help but mourn for their husbands."
"That's too bad. Is this what you call celebrity effect?"
"Seize the bamboo shoots!"
"..."
Young Master Liu looked at the various coquettish looks on the ladies' faces, happily put down the teacup in his hand and stretched out.
"My husband is also doing this to earn money to support the family! Who asked us, the whole family, to focus on our husband to support us!
Don't shudder to use some unflattering tricks to make money. Besides, your husband can't really let you wear those diamond jewelry to show off on the street, can you?
Dress up your wife beautifully and then let other men stare at her. If you do that for your husband, isn't it because you are full?
I can’t get enough of my husband! Why let other men see it? Isn't that a disease? "
All the beauties secretly spat. On the surface, they seemed to be angry with their husbands, but in fact, they were as sweet as eating honey.
"Komatsu."
"Hey, Master."
"Go back and report to the old man right away. Our jewelry shop can open for business tomorrow."
"I understand, please excuse me."
After Liu Song left, Young Master Liu waved his hand and walked towards the bottom of the tower.
"Ladies, go with your husband to Zixia Temple to offer incense. There is no difference between going for a private visit incognito and showing off in the city. All you have to do is go and offer incense."
The beauties shook their heads helplessly, put away their telescopes and followed Young Master Liu towards the bottom of the tower.
Thousands of miles away from the Great Dragon in Tsarist Russia, at the end of October, beautiful goose-feather snow had fallen in the sky above the royal city of Grad.
Song Qing's second son, Song Yang, couldn't help but shiver as he breathed in the cold wind blowing in his face. He tightened his cloak and looked at Liu Chengfeng, who was also freezing.
"Chengfeng, we should have gone the right way this time, right? If we go the wrong way again, this kind of weather will be enough to wipe out our entire mission."
Liu Chengfeng looked at the tangled look in Song Yang's eyes, got off his horse, leaned forward and glanced at the city ahead, with a touch of unconfidence on his face.
"Ying... should not go astray again. After severely punishing the Tsarist soldier who deliberately led the wrong way, the remaining soldiers who led the way should not dare to play tricks on us anymore."
Song Yang looked at the unconfident look on Liu Chengfeng's face, twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, turned around and waved to the soldiers behind him.
"Go and bring up the surrendered soldiers of Tsarist Russia who followed us back, and ask them if the city in front of them shrouded in heavy snow is the royal city of Tsarist Russia, Grad."
"As commanded."
Liu Chengfeng looked at the soldiers rushing toward the rear, and pulled Song Yang aside: "Brother Yang, what do you think I should say after meeting the Queen of Tsarist Russia, Elizabeth Serena?"
Song Yang looked at Liu Chengfeng, who looked a little nervous, with a strange expression: "Didn't you study at one of the top ten fireworks places in Beijing for ten days and a half before going on the mission?
After meeting the little empress of Tsarist Russia, you should know better than this young master and me, what to say to please the beauty! "
"That's true, but I... I learned a little bit about Tsarist Russian discourse on the road, and I can't express my thoughts fluently at all.
Although it is possible to ask those surrendered soldiers of Tsarist Russia to help translate, but what if the translation is inaccurate? "
Song Yang held his chin and pondered for a long time: "Never mind it! Let's talk about it after meeting the person first. After all, only the devil knows whether the appearance of the little queen of Tsarist Russia can catch the eye of the eldest prince like you.
If you don't like her, there is no need to continue with the rest.
After we negotiated our credentials, we can return home immediately when spring comes and the flowers bloom. "
Liu Chengfeng took a deep breath and nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, let's meet the person first. What if this little empress of Tsarist Russia looks like a ghost!
In this case, wouldn’t this young master suffer a big loss?
Brother Yang, you still have a stable mind. "
"Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, we have brought the soldiers from Tsarist Russia who will lead the way for us."
