But there is something special about this prince. His surname is not Ying, but Li Zhao, and he is a well-known person throughout Xianyang.
My father had guessed that His Majesty ordered Li Zhao to supervise the country, and the name he used was Ying Zhao. This explains a lot of problems. The royal surname Ying is orthodox and cannot be changed at will, even by the emperor, but His Majesty changed it. This is intriguing, so it is not an exaggeration to call Li Zhao a prince.
"I heard that Young Master Li Zhao has a rich family, is handsome, and is favored by His Majesty. There is also news in the court that Li Zhao will be imprisoned for the country. This is a great favor. Such a man is a good husband. Why is the lady looking so sad? ?”
The maid next to her saw the woman's sad face and couldn't help but ask.
Although the maid is said to be a servant, she and the woman are like sisters, and they do not shy away from words.
The woman did not turn around or respond directly. She still looked at the people below who were chatting and laughing, feeling envious for a moment.
"Guan Guan Jujiu, in the river island. A graceful lady, a gentleman is fond of hunting. The water plants are scattered and flowing left and right. A graceful lady, I long for her."
"Xiaoting, do you understand what this poem is about?" Shiya sighed and shook her head slightly, "How do you understand, fair lady, a gentleman is so coveted, what an infatuated poem I covet, but no one admires me. .”
"What I need is someone who is willing to talk to me and fall in love with me, but it is not the order of my parents. No matter how outstanding he is, so what?"
Xiaoting was silent, of course she knew what the young lady wanted in her heart, but this was a marriage arranged by His Majesty, so how could it be her turn? Not even the master could decide.
Of course, the master is very willing. Even if Young Master Li Zhao does not have a large family fortune, His Majesty's favor will not allow him to refuse.
But how can the master understand what the young lady means? Of course, even if he understands, you will not follow the young lady's heart.
"Miss, now that you've come, make peace with it. It's a done deal. It's better to follow the master's wishes and prepare well!"
Xiaoya persuaded.
Shiya didn't nod, nor did she mean to leave. She murmured: "Qingqing Zijin, you care about my heart. Even if I don't go, Zi Ning will not inherit the sound?"
He continued to talk, but seemed not to hear Xiaoting's words.
"Even if no one is tossing and turning for me, I would still like to be like 'a day without seeing you is like March', but in the end it is a delusion."
"I just want to be with a loving man, why is it so difficult? Do I only deserve to live in my own world?"
Shiya shook her head, her expression dimmed for a time, and tears shone in the corners of her eyes.
Xiaoting stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Miss, maybe Master Li Zhao is an affectionate person and is willing to spend his life with the lady without any suspicion."
"I can't see it."
Shiya responded silently, feeling a little disappointed and helpless.
"Come down with me for a walk."
The woman turned around, slowly walked down the stairs, and appeared in the midst of chatting and laughing.
She wanted to join in the laughter and joy to ease her mood at the moment.
"Hey! Today's beauty is here, please come!"
When Young Master Feng saw Shiya coming, he was the first to greet her, but he didn't dare to get too close. He knew some inside information, so he became respectful.
This made Shiya a little uncomfortable, but she was welcomed anyway, so she naturally smiled. This smile was full of hope and made many men covet her.
A group of young talents gathered together here, sitting on a strange object, each holding a cup. This cup was filled with water. The liquid was thick white and exuded an alluring fragrance.
This should be a banquet, but it's not grand enough.
Shiya was more curious when she saw it.
According to the custom of the Qin Dynasty, banquets must be seated on the floor and at separate tables. However, these people did not sit on the floor, but sat around that strange thing. There was a large round table in the middle, which was unprecedented. What was even more strange was that on the round table He could actually see what was under his feet very clearly.
"Sit down quickly, do you feel comfortable?"
A woman came over and took Shiya's hand, making way for a strange sitting object.
"This is a chair. It feels good to sit on."
Shiya has never seen such a strange thing. It is surrounded by iron, which is hard but smooth to the touch. It is extremely stable. The iron frame is surrounded by vines and is full of elasticity.
"This is a chair. I heard it was made by Li Zhao. It's very strange." A woman saw the strangeness in Shiya's eyes and explained quickly.
Shiya pondered for a moment and then sat down without any hesitation. Sure enough, this chair was very comfortable. When she leaned back, her whole body and mind felt relaxed and comfortable.
"Okay?"
a woman asked.
"Very good!"
Shiya said casually, but slowly closed her eyes, feeling that her whole body was relaxed, and the sadness just now gradually faded away.
"Hehe! Of course, this is specially made by Li Zhao for this grand event, and it's only available in the VIP area."
Yes, Li Zhao divided the venue of the grand event into several areas. This is the VIP area, where most princes, nobles and their families are received.
"He is really capable!"
"Of course, who in Xianyang doesn't know that Li Zhaonai is a strange person at this moment? You must know that all the strange things in Shanglin Garden come from him."
"By the way, have you ever seen electric lights and electric fans? They were also made by Li Zhao, so you must have never seen them before!"
They knew that Shiya had just arrived at Shanglin Garden with her father, and the first stop she appeared in front of everyone was in the pavilion.
Shiya shook her head.
"That's just right. I'll enjoy it later thanks to you."
Electricity has not yet reached Xianyang. Although everyone knows that there are electric lights and fans, they have never experienced it, unless they are people who have been to Shanglinyuan, but there are a few of them who have been to Shanglinyuan.
The electric fan is such a strange thing that even the VIP area is not equipped with it. Many people ask the attendants to fan them to dispel the scorching summer heat.
"Thanks to me?" Shiya was puzzled.
"Of course, now that you are a noble person, you can enjoy this blessing."
Someone with good eyes and ears secretly knew about the marriage granted by the emperor.
"But."
Shiya wanted to say something more, but a woman ignored her and walked away alone. She must have gone to ask for an electric fan.
Sure enough, not long after, a servant arrived carrying a tall fan, followed by someone from the Forest Garden.
Although this thing is novel, it is not unfamiliar, because many people have seen it, and it is even sold in Xianyang, but it is not connected to electricity and is not used.
There was no electric fan prepared here, but the wires were prepared. Someone from Shanglinyuan took out a socket and plugged it into the fan socket. After adjusting the gear, there was actually wind.
The fan was facing Shiya, and others naturally ran behind her. The wind blew away, and the heat dissipated. No one could describe the comfort, and the wind continued to blow without stopping.
Feel the poetry and elegance, blow it, and the depressed mood will slowly go away.
"It's really a good thing!"
Shiya couldn't help but sigh, and everyone also sighed.
Someone next to me was courteous, "Shiya, please try this quickly. This is also from Shanglinyuan. I heard that it was made by Li Zhao himself. It is very delicious."
The wind was blowing, and a woman brought a piece of wine from nowhere. The liquid on the piece of water was thick white and exuded an alluring fragrance.
Shiya had just met her, but she was also interested.
"This drink is Yuanyang milk tea. The people from Shanglinyuan just said it was prepared for you."
The woman explained that Shiya's arrival must have been widely announced.
"Yuanyang milk tea? What a unique name."
Shiya took a sip, feeling sweet and fragrant, especially under the hot sun, with a hint of coolness, which added a bit of comfort.
“Good tea!”
Since tea was introduced by Li Zhao, the trend of tea drinking has emerged in Xianyang. Naturally, Shiya drinks it occasionally, but this tea is so different from that tea, which is wonderful.
"How does it feel?"
"Very good!"
Hahaha!
Everyone laughed when they heard Shiya's answer, and some even said: "This is the Yuanyang tea prepared specially for you by Li Zhao. It's naturally good. Yuanyang, Yuanyang, you two are really Yuanyang."
This was said with a sense of ridicule, but of course it was more of envy.
Shiya smiled sweetly, but the sadness in her heart slowly came again.
Everyone envied her, but they knew she didn't want to.
Although Li Zhao is good, he is not the person she likes. She likes the feeling of "not seeing him for one day is like three autumns", and she likes "my fair lady, in the river island"
She likes to be affectionate.
