Ningguo Princess Zhao Qin, the emperor's sixth daughter, was born with a beautiful country and was known as "the most beautiful woman in Daliang".
Let’s not talk about how this princess looks, but because of the royal blood flowing in her body, no one dares to refute her even if she is called “number one”.
In the past in Luoyang, Song Che also met several relatives of the emperor, including the young princess, the prince, and the old emperor, but he had never seen the princess before.
Quite looking forward to it.
In order to make way for the royal dragon boat, the dock has been cleared, and five hundred city defense troops have been stationed everywhere. He Qiu and Song Che stood at the connection point, waiting.
There was a strong wind blowing by the canal, and it was very cold.
After waiting for half an hour, the imperial ship was nowhere to be seen.
If you have this time, it would be great to soak in a hot spring at home. Maybe you can finish two rounds of the cannon.
Song Che breathed into the palm of his hand and couldn't help complaining: "Did you remember the time wrong? Or the information is unreliable."
He Qiu said: "I only received the news from the Luoyang envoy in the morning, saying that the princess has passed Yangzhou. Counting the time, she should be able to arrive before evening."
Song Che was confused: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Why does the princess come all the way to Suzhou to do this when she is not staying with her father in the palace? Don't tell me that she just came to me to buy cloth."
He Qiu glanced sideways and said coldly: "I'm a princess, I can go wherever I want. You don't care what I do, just give her a good reception. The emperor's beloved daughter, any words she says have full weight."
Song Che breathed another breath into his palms and stopped talking.
After waiting for about half an hour, the sky was getting dark, and the imperial ship finally appeared - a large ship painted with gold paint, like a mobile building, slowly approaching the dock.
The accompanying guards were wrapped in black cloaks and held gilded knife handles. The leader among them was in his mid-twenties, with a silverbait pouch at his waist. His sharp eyes were like those of an eagle hunting, glaring at everyone in fear.
Twenty imperial guards set up the gangway, and then they saw an old man in a red robe disembarking first. He was in his sixties, his face was quite pale, he was clean-shaven, and he looked a little out of breath;
Behind the old man in the red robe was a middle-aged woman. She was fat and round-waisted, and her breasts were as big as a bucket. She shook three times every time she stepped down the stairs, which made all the soldiers on the dock stare. Although his appearance is unsatisfactory, his every frown and smile show off his charm.
Just when everyone was getting goosebumps because they couldn't understand the fat woman's style, a golden beauty wrapped in a fox fur scarf and a red robe walked down the gangway——
The cold wind blew up the veil, revealing some red lips, gold hairpins to hold up her hair, green silk hair to scratch her head, and pearls in her earrings. Her face was like a ten-mile peach blossom, her aura was like an orchid in an empty valley, her shape was like sandalwood in the dark night, her movements were like lotuses growing step by step, and her wrists were filled with emeralds. Jade bracelet, with jade hands cut like green onions, dignified, graceful and noble, the golden branch of the country.
Everyone was stunned.
It is true that there are some great beauties who will have no regrets for the rest of their lives after just one look at her. What’s more, she is still wearing a veil. If her true appearance is shown to others, they will probably get lovesickness after seeing her.
"Zhizhou of Suzhou Prefecture congratulates Qiu on seeing your Royal Highness the Princess."
He Qiu pulled Song Che forward and saluted, "Song Che, a commoner, also wishes to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"The grassroots are the grassroots, why add the word 'ye'?" The old man who was out of breath gestured with orchid fingers, and his voice was like that of an old sister-in-law.
Song Che raised his eyebrows and roughly understood. No wonder this old man shaved his beard so cleanly at this age. It turned out that his lower part was shaved even more cleanly. He was an old eunuch!
"Hey, are you Song Che?"
The fat woman behind the old eunuch walked around Song Che, smiled foolishly, and put a hand on her shoulder so politely: "I thought you were an old man, but I didn't expect you are a young man and you are so handsome, haha hehe……"
Song Che's tiger body trembled and goosebumps appeared on his skin.
The fat woman smiled and praised again: "You have to be a man to understand a woman's heart, otherwise how can you create such a good thing as a 'private house'? Now the whole capital has spread about your private house, Princess Ningguo" I love you so much that I come all the way to take care of your business."
"Nanny." Zhao Qin called softly. How could you speak casually about such matters as a private room?
Song Che thought to himself: No wonder she is so "big", she turned out to be the princess's nanny.
"Okay, okay, they say it's warm in the south of the Yangtze River, but why do I feel it's colder than Luoyang? You'd better take us to pick out clothes quickly," the old eunuch urged.
He Qiu quickly called the driver. Zhao Qin, the old eunuch, and the fat woman got into the car. The Suzhou Army led the way, while the imperial guards were waiting beside the princess' car. Under Song Che's guidance, the group set off to the north of the city in a mighty manner.
Although Yunshuifang has been closed, Qin Ruo has been living in it, and there will be a waiter taking turns to take care of it on weekdays. If there are customers, he can do business when he reopens the door.
Song Che had already sent someone to Yunshuifang to notify him. When the driver arrived at the door of the shop, Qin Ruo led two female shop assistants and stood respectfully at the door.
Shopkeeper Qin specially put on makeup and put on gold and silver jewelry that she usually thought were frivolous. Her dignity and beauty are not inferior to those of a princess.
"Oh, the streets in Suzhou are really uneven, and the carriage cushions are also hard. The bumps along the way made my butt hurt." The old eunuch was like a "big teapot". He beat his waist and complained as soon as he got off the car.
He Qiu stepped forward and apologized with a smile: "I apologize for the poor reception, please forgive me Eunuch Li. In recent days, the resettlement of coastal refugees has been somewhat tight, and the state government's finances have been somewhat tight, which is why the road is dilapidated and bumpy. I have also written to Kyoto, but I have never received anything. Respond…”
The old lady held her chin and said softly: "Your Majesty has been in poor health recently. How can I find the energy to check the documents of a small state? But... if I have a good memory about this matter, I can mention it to Your Majesty. "
He Qiu politely thanked him.
An old eunuch, who was no more than a seventh-rank official, made the fifth-rank state magistrate nod and bow, just because he could say a word beside the emperor.
"When did Mr. He become so humble?" Song Che asked with a low smile. Of course, there is also an element of deliberate ridicule.
He Qiu said with a straight face: "How can I get money without being humble? Or should I increase your taxes?"
He is a good official who pits the center but not the local area!
The maid helped the nanny and the princess get out of the car and came to the door of the private shop. The nanny raised her head and read on the plaque written by Wang He: "The secret of Suzhou City...Princess is an interesting name."
Zhao Qin said "hmm".
"Your Highness, Su Mi not only has a private room, but also many styles of ready-made clothes. Can we also come in and try them out?"
Qin Ruo invited Zhao Qin into the shop with a smile.
The old eunuch also wanted to follow, but Song Che stopped him with a smile, "I'm sorry, Eunuch Li, because it involves privacy, men are not allowed in. If you feel cold, why don't you go to Yunshuifang opposite and drink hot tea while waiting? ?”
The old eunuch snorted, "No one has thought of me as a man for a long time" and strode towards Yunshuifang.
People from the capital are so pretentious!
