Steel Dynasty - Chapter 96

[Chapter 96 Princess Pingyang]

“That’s all, that’s all, she’s coming, just treat her carefully when the time comes.”

Xiao Ming sighed deeply.

This Princess Pingyang is not Xiao Ming’s half-sister or older sister, but Xiao Ming’s aunt and Xiao Wenxuan’s biological sister.

Xiao Wenxuan can be said to be extremely doting on this young sister, almost to the point of indulgence.

And this Princess Pingyang was also used to being pampered. She was lawless in Chang’an, especially after the prince-in-law died of illness, Princess Pingyang’s reputation became known to everyone.

The people who interact with her range from first-class officials to peddlers and pawns, but there is only one thing, this person must be handsome.

And it is said that she also kept a male favorite in the house. In such an era, Princess Pingyang can be said to be a pioneer among women.

It is precisely because of her that women in Chang’an are more open-minded than women elsewhere, which shows the influence of Princess Pingyang.

However, although Princess Pingyang’s private life is chaotic, she is extremely shrewd. It is said that she has a large amount of property in the family, which is equivalent to a rich woman in modern times. Moreover, using her famous name, Princess Pingyang is able to get along well in this patriarchal era, which makes her business gain a lot. Convenient, long-term arrangement can not be ranked as the richest man, but it can also be ranked second.

For Xiao Ming, this shrewd aunt who resembled a modern socialite was a difficult character to deal with, and she was a master at adapting to the changing circumstances.

And she couldn’t refuse this aunt’s visit, because he needed Chang’an’s help.

Now there is a tense situation among the princes, and he is far away in Qingzhou. If there is trouble in Chang’an, how to get Concubine Zhen out will be a problem.

But this aunt is a well-rounded aunt with many subordinates. It can be said that she is a force that cannot be ignored in Chang’an. I may need his help when the time comes.

“In this case, I will arrange preparations in the palace. When the empress said that she would send this letter, Her Highness the Princess would have already left. According to this date, it is estimated that it will arrive soon.” Zi Wan said.

Xiao Ming waved his hand and told Zi Wan to get ready, and was no longer in the mood to continue teasing the little maid.

Whether it was King Wei or King Yan, he could easily send them away. But when this one came, he would really have a headache.

…

Two days later, an extremely luxurious carriage drove slowly on the official road from Qingzhou City. There were thousands of guards guarding both sides of the carriage, all wearing golden armor and golden feather helmets. The expression is serious and the instrument is majestic.

The carriage’s curtains were made of purple silk, and were engraved with patterns of golden vines. Exquisite jade stones hung from the four sides of the carriage roof, and each jade stone was worth thousands of gold.

When the common people on the official road saw such a formation of horse teams, they all ducked to both sides. Some businessmen’s eyes greedily scanned the jade and gold lines.

But when they saw the fierce golden warrior, they immediately lowered their heads.

Gradually the city gate is getting closer.

One of the leading knights came to the carriage and said, “Your Royal Highness, Qingzhou City has arrived.”

“Well, then take a look at the city gate to see if there is anyone greeting me. Speaking of which, King Qi and I haven’t seen each other for five years. Do you know if this boy can give face to my aunt?”

A lazy and soft voice came from the carriage, and then an arm like a spring lotus part opened the curtain, revealing an extremely delicate and charming face.

When the knight saw this face, a trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes, and he said: “I saw many people standing outside the city gate, probably King Qi.”

Only then did Princess Pingyang poke her head out and take a look, and at a glance she saw the clothes on the door. Xiao Ming in purple robe, and Lulu and Aster who accompany Xiao Ming.

“That’s right, it’s Xiao Ming.” Princess Pingyang sat back in the carriage, “This nephew can still give face to my aunt, hurry up.”

The knight nodded and shouted, and the groom whipped his horse whip, and the carriage was fast After walking several times, we arrived at the city gate in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Xiao Ming was looking at the pair of people with a wry smile. Only this aunt could use such a useless thing as golden armor.

Seeing the curtains opened and a graceful woman leaning out, Xiao Ming immediately said, “My nephew has met my aunt.”

“Giggle… Ming’er, after five years of not seeing you, you are becoming more and more handsome. Come on, Let Auntie take a look.” Before getting out of the car, Princess Pingyang laughed, and then a gust of fragrance came to Xiao Ming.

This scent is exactly what peony perfume smells like.

“Auntie’s appearance remains unchanged and she is as beautiful as ever.” The strong smell of perfume made Xiao Ming feel a little uncomfortable, and he couldn’t help but shrug his nose.

Princess Pingyang smiled and said: “This is a lot sweeter.”

Xiao Ming said with a smile: “Thank you aunt for the compliment. Please also ask aunt to come to the city and talk to the palace again.”

Princess Pingyang nodded, and there were many people waiting at this time. As they entered the city, a group of people gathered around them to watch. She turned around and got into the carriage again.

Xiao Ming led the way, and the carriage followed the people from the palace towards the inside.

When passing by the city gate, Princess Pingyang raised the curtains and glanced at the soldiers guarding the city gate.

These soldiers wore silver armor, which was different from the armor in Dayu ****. All parts of these soldiers were covered in armor, and they looked as intimidating as a steel monster.

The spears in the hands of these soldiers also exuded the light of silver, and the spear tips were very sharp. At first glance, they were very sophisticated weapons.

“Strange, what kind of armor is this?” Princess Pingyang fell into deep thought.

When we were in Chang’an, every time Qingzhou was mentioned, both the prince and the ministers showed disdain, as if Qingzhou was a barbarian land.

Even though Qingzhou products have caused a sensation in Chang’an again and again in the past six months, this sense has not changed. After all, doing business is a shameless thing for scholars.

Therefore, the dignitaries in Chang’an looked down upon Xiao Ming, a dignified vassal king, who personally engaged in business. Although many princes also engaged in business, after all, it was done by vassal merchants, and they only provided 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 them were carrying goods, including soap, perfume, and Qingzhou wine.

Occasionally, you can see a few scholars gathered together on both sides of the road. They hold a piece of paper full of words in their hands and argue about something, as if there is something important on the paper.

What made her even more strange was that there seemed to be a lot of slaves in Qingzhou City. After a while, she could see a group of people with slave marks passing by. However, these slaves were not as sad as the slaves in other places. Instead, they were talking and laughing while transporting ore. Coal and other things.

As the scenes came into view, Princess Pingyang suddenly felt that she had come to the right place. During this period, Qingzhou seemed to have seen many changes that did not occur in other places.

This time she came here for the exquisite glass, but from the looks of it, she seems to have more things to do in Qingzhou.

Thank you all for your rewards and recommendations. I hope you can support me during the new book period and let the data fly. Thank you all.
