Qi Wangfu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Princess Pingyang got out of the carriage and frowned when she saw the scenery in the palace for the first time.

In Chang'an, she was used to seeing all kinds of luxurious mansions, and compared to those mansions, the Qi Wangfu was indeed shabby.

Not to mention that there is no auspicious unicorn in front of the palace gate, the plaque of this palace is not written in gold dust, and the rusty door knocker on the palace door is incompatible with the identity of a prince.

Seeing Princess Pingyang's strange expression, Xiao Ming asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”

"Ming'er, this has been bitter for you in Qingzhou for five years, and so is the emperor, how can you say that you are also a dignified son, how can you be so biased, I will definitely say it for you when I return to Chang'an this time." Princess Pingyang looked distressed about Xiao Ming.

If he hadn't known this aunt, Xiao Ming would have been really moved, but this aunt's reputation is outside, and every time she plays on the spot, she can't believe it.

"Thank you, auntie, but it's not necessary, my father has already sent the million taels of silver to my nephew." Xiao Ming said.

Princess Pingyang's eyes rolled, if it weren't for this glass and other Qingzhou goods, she would have forgotten about this nephew.

In Chang'an, other princes often walk around with her and give some generous gifts from time to time, but this Xiao Ming is not in Chang'an, and neither is the power of this mother's family, so she naturally doesn't care about it.

"Really? I heard that the emperor's impression of you has changed a little today, and it seems that this is true. ”

"This nephew doesn't know, my father has always disliked my nephew, but this time I sent silver, maybe it's true." Xiao Ming prevaricated.

Princess Pingyang said with a smile; "This is to congratulate you, maybe the emperor is happy, maybe he will allow you to go back to Chang'an Province, Concubine Zhen misses you very much."

"My nephew misses my mother too." Xiao Ming said with a chuckle.

At this time, the two arrived in the garden behind the main hall, and Princess Pingyang sat down in the pavilion, and stretched out her hand to signal Xiao Ming to sit down as well.

"This time I came here to see you for Concubine Zhen, seeing that you are living well here, I will go back and talk to her, but I can make him feel at ease." Princess Pingyang played the emotional card again.

Xiao Ming had some admiration in his heart, this princess of Pingyang was really a shrewd person, and she taught people to get closer in just a few words.

It's just that he is not the previous Xiao Ming, this blood relationship is not enough to make him lose his cool, if it was the previous Xiao Ming, it is estimated that he would have cried and wiped his tears.

Princess Pingyang was always observing Xiao Ming's expression when she spoke, and seeing that Xiao Ming always looked as usual, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, this King of Qi was a little interesting.

"That's right, I hope my aunt will tell my mother that I'm okay here, and I don't have to worry about it." Xiao Ming said, "By the way, is there any other arrangement for my aunt to come this time, if not, my nephew can take my aunt to see the beautiful scenery of Qingzhou." ”

Princess Pingyang walked all the way, and saw that the surroundings were just poor and remote, and there was no scenery to see.

Seeing that the Qi Palace's mansion was also so depressed, and she had no intention of staying here for a long time, she said: "I'm just here for a few days, and I'll go to your Uncle Wei's Jinling City to sit in a few days." ”

"It's a prosperous place, my nephew has always wanted to go, but he is busy with government affairs, and he really can't get away." Xiao Ming found a reason for himself not to accompany this aunt to play.

"Okay, you can be diligent in government affairs, and the emperor will be happy to know it." Pingyang tried to see that Xiao Ming seemed to have a feeling that oil and salt were not entering, for this nephew, this beauty was not needed, she hesitated for a moment, and had to explain her intention, "Ming'er, this time my aunt came to the glass for the glass, this time the glassware you sent into the palace alarmed the harem, and your father and emperor also couldn't put it down, let me come to Qingzhou this time to ask about the glass manufacturing method, and I can also let the craftsman drum it out for the ladies when I go back." ”

"Sure enough, it came." Xiao Ming exclaimed in his heart, this aunt's appetite is really unusual.

Originally, he thought that Princess Pingyang would only ask for some glassware, so it would be enough to give her some, but he didn't expect that she would open her mouth and ask for the production method of glass directly.

When Princess Pingyang said this, she looked at Xiao Ming again, and saw that Xiao Ming was still as calm as water, but what she didn't know was that Xiao Ming had 10,000 grass and mud horses running in her heart.

"Auntie, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Xiao Ming believes that Princess Pingyang's words are true, this Princess Pingyang is blowing the wind in front of Xiao Wenxuan, Xiao Wenxuan will definitely agree to her to ask for the production method of glass, and even the production method of all the goods in Qingzhou.

Because this is the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the greed of the powerful is unconcealed, and in their hearts, it seems to be a matter of course.

Princess Pingyang's expression changed, her eyes wandered, and she echoed and said: "My aunt also disagrees, this is all what your father said, don't you know your father's temperament?" If he had an interest, he would have gotten it. ”

Xiao Ming frowned, this Princess Pingyang could be said to be threatening him.

Xiao Wenxuan is barbaric and domineering, cold-blooded and ruthless, this is a well-known thing in the entire Great Chongqing Kingdom, otherwise how could he be a dignified prince in the first place.

Princess Binh Duong was still waiting for his answer, which was the worst he had expected.

If you don't give it, Xiao Wenxuan will definitely be furious, if you give it, this is the beginning, and any ghost can ask him for something under the banner of Xiao Wenxuan in the future.

So he must not let go this time, and he must try not to offend Princess Pingyang and Xiao Wenxuan.

"I understand the character of my father, but my aunt, if people don't have faith, they can't stand, I really can't say this glass manufacturing method, because I have concluded an agreement with the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce, in addition to the future supply, this glass method will also be open to them when they reach the membership level, if I break my promise at this time, this is not to make my face lost, no matter how I am also a prince, my face does not matter, I lose the royal face, my father will not be happy."

"Oh? And what else is there? Princess Pingyang wondered.

Xiao Ming nodded affirmatively, and then told Princess Pingyang about the Chamber of Commerce.

The more Princess Pingyang listened, the more ugly she looked, she wanted to steal the benefits of this glass, but she didn't expect that this glass involved the interests of so many people.

Among them, there were many vassal kings.

If this is the case, this matter is not so easy to do, the vassal king of the royal family is simple, but it is difficult to do it among vassal kings with different surnames.

In Chang'an, she knew that these vassal kings were thinking that the battle for the throne was about to start, and they would introduce another emperor who was in their interests as they had supported Xiao Wenxuan back then.

"Exactly, the most important thing is that the nephew has already received their silver taels, and they have all used seventy-seven eighty-eight, if the aunt is willing to return it to them for the nephew, the nephew will also be willing to give the glass making method to the aunt." Xiao Ming looked regretful.

"How much silver?" Princess Binh Duong seemed to feel hope.

"It's not much, about fifteen million taels." Xiao Ming said lightly.
