Liu Mu rode on his horse with Baoqin, and began to look around, and soon found a low cliff five miles away from the castle, Liu Mu ordered people to blow up the cliff here, and then build a dock, preferably for the main warship to rely on, and at the very least, let the five hundred material fast transport ships dock.

According to Baoqin, if there is any trouble, if you can't beat it, you can quickly escape to the sea.

When you get to sea, with an invincible warship, the danger disappears.

The advice given by the Romans for a visit to the Frankish kingdom was to at least listen to what the other party wanted to do, the Franks were not an enemy of the Eastern Roman Empire, and Yanagiki accepted this suggestion.

When the guests arrived, Willow realized that his ancient Greek was not up to par.

It was not the king of the Franks, but a small group of ladies led by royal women, and in the name of the king, it was only a small misunderstanding of the incomplete oriental etiquette that the Frankish kingdom had learned.

Dugu Lanruo's tea room, purple curtains with gold velvet trimmed with gold edges, tablecloths of wrought silk, wool carpets, and the fragrance in the air.

The leader was also a princess, the king's sister.

Princess Eileen Sarah stood at the door of the parlor, holding the corners of her skirt in her hands, and did not take a step further, for she found that even the maids from the mysterious land of the East had a good smell on their bodies, and the fragrance on each of them was different.

Princess Eileen Sarah sniffed her friends around her, and she often smelled the smell on her body, but at this time she felt so pungent.

"Junia, how does it smell on me?"

"The incense powder you chose is very suitable."

"No, I'm going to hear the truth."

The noblewoman named Hunia did not speak, for she could not speak.

Princess Eileen Sarah lowered her voice: "I want to hear the truth. ”

Hu Niya still didn't answer, and then a Tang maid spoke beside them with the noble ancient Greece and said: "Distinguished guests, the formal banquet may take some time, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has instructed us to take the distinguished guests to experience Tang style beauty." ”

"Beauty?"

"It's a process that makes women more beautiful."

"Of course." Princess Eileen Sarah agreed without hesitation.

In the tea room, Dugu Lanruo gently rubbed her forehead, and wanted to say something in her mouth, but she didn't say a word.

Xiao Ling'er was straightforward and fast-talking: "These noble ladies are not as good as the cooks in the courtyard of my family's branch, and the smell on their bodies is a hundred steps away and makes people want to vomit, and the princess, I have never heard of the princess still smelling of hu." ”

The word Hu odor comes from the end of the Jin Dynasty, when the Five Hu Chaohua appeared.

In modern terms, it's fox odor.

Xie Xing'er subconsciously covered her nose, she discussed the taste very much.

Dugu Lan would never say such a thing, even if she also discussed fox odor, she would not open her mouth, because she was a princess, and she represented the princess of the Tang Empire here.

"Princess, how about preparing the medicine?" Xiao Ling'er asked on the side.

"Yes." Dugu Lanruo gave a positive answer.

Beauty is really just an excuse, the smell of these people is too bad. The noblewomen of the Eastern Roman Empire have been in contact with the Tang civilization for more than a year, and in the Roman era, the Romans had public baths, and bathing was common.

The Franks are different, and as Duke Romeo said, many of those who hold the title of princess have the smell of a sheepfold on them.

Take a bath, wash it three times first to reduce the unpleasant smell on your body, fortunately, you don't need to do it with the maids of the Tang people, just tell the maids of those noble ladies to do it.

When a copy of the powder was delivered to Princess Eileen Sarah, she asked, "What is this?" ”

"It can make people feel refreshed, for example, when it's hot, the armpits don't sweat, and there won't be any smell."

Princess Eileen Sarah naturally knew that there was something wrong with her.

The daily expenses of incense powder are more than half of all her monthly expenses, just to suppress these bad smells on her body.

A Chinese maidservant gave Princess Eileen Sarah a list of beauty care, skin care, makeup, perfumes, and other care packages, and then quoted a price.

A scream came from the castle, startling even the willow trees who were sitting on the beach fishing.

"Only seventeen gold coins?"

"Of course." The Tang maidservant instructed the two slave girls to put all the items needed for a month on the table.

"No, that's not good." Princess Eileen Sarah shook her head: "You Tang people don't show respect for a princess. A tribute to Frank. ”

"I don't understand what you mean."

"I'm going to use princess-level items instead of these cheap ones."

Princess Eileen Sarah used to spend nearly a hundred gold coins a month on incense powder alone, and of course there was a huge profit from the black-hearted Persian merchants.

The maidservant who was in charge of introducing the product was about to explain that what she had taken out was very good.

Without waiting for her to speak, another said: "The beauty, care and other supplies used by the Tang royal family are not available to ordinary merchants. These are the goods that you can buy from every Tang merchant, or it may be that the merchants of Constantine bought them from our Tang merchants, and then sold them to the Frankish merchants, and then you buy them from the Frankish merchants, the noble princess. ”

Princess Eileen Sarah understood, and the merchant turned his hand a few times, so it was not seventeen gold coins, it could be thirty, forty, fifty, or even more.

But there was one more sentence she also heard, Don Royal Supplies.

Princess Eileen Sarah immediately asked, "The princess we visited, I don't know what level of princess it is." ”

In the Franks, the daughter of the lord is also in the princess, and this lord may be a duke or an earl. Even in remote areas, there are low-ranking lords like the Baron.

"I, the eldest princess of the Tang Empire, the younger sister of His Majesty the Tang Emperor, has the highest title among all the princesses, except for the elder sister of His Majesty the Tang Emperor and the eldest princess of Tang Zhaowu." The maidservant explained Dugu Lanruo's status in the Tang Dynasty.

Princess Erin Sarah didn't wait for the maid to finish speaking, and immediately said, "Then, the princess should have the royal supplies of the Tang Empire." ”

"Naturally, there is."

"Please bring me my clothes, I will see Her Highness the princess immediately."

Princess Erin Sarah was not wrong at all in using the word "audience", she was just the sister of a king, and the most noble in the whole Mediterranean should be the Eastern Roman Emperor, the sister of the emperor of the mysterious Tang Empire from the powerful East, and she needed to use the word "audience".

Not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also in the Mediterranean, there is a strict social hierarchy.

The same princess does not necessarily mean the same identity.
