Chapter 837: The Trap of the Two Princesses

"Vomit~~" Zhao Hao lay on the side of the ship and vomited nauseously again, but after vomiting for a long time, he only vomited a little sour water, because the contents of his stomach had already been vomited. Compared with the high spirits when he left the capital, Zhao Hao at this time was pale and had dark eyes, looking like an addict in later generations.

In contrast, Xing Shu, who was standing next to Zhao Hao, was not much better, his old face had vomited bloodless, his lips were all white, and his long beard was also covered with filth, looking even more embarrassed than Zhao Hao, and he no longer had half of his demeanor in the court before. But he can't be blamed for this, because he, like Zhao Hao, grew up inland, and at most he has only sat on a very calm riverboat, but when they went to sea from Yangzhou, they immediately felt the power of the sea, and they vomited dimly one by one.

"Temple...... Your Royal Highness, the old minister's life is about to be thrown on this sea, if we knew that this sea is so bumpy, we should rush to Guangzhou from the land and then go to sea, although the speed is a little slower, but we can also suffer less! At this time, I saw Xing Shu vomit the contents of his stomach, and then lay on the side of the boat, panting and saying weakly.

Zhao Hao also thought deeply when he heard this, but it was too late to regret it now, so he had to force his mouth and said: "Hold on for a few more days, I heard that this seasick ship can adapt to it if it lasts for a few days, and then you won't have to suffer like this anymore!" ”

As soon as Zhao Hao's words fell, he suddenly felt a tumbling in his stomach, which made him can't help but lie on the side of the boat again and retch, although he obviously couldn't vomit anything, but he still couldn't stop being nauseous. Xing Shu heard the sound of Zhao Hao retching, and couldn't help but vomit again, and in the end, both of them vomited and their whole bodies were weak, so they were carried back to the cabin to rest.

I vomited for several days, during which I drank the decoction prescribed by the doctor. This allowed Zhao Hao and Xing Shu to recover slowly, but what followed was an extremely boring life at sea, and the endless sea would make them feel a little fresh at first, but after a long time, it made people feel extremely tired, and there was no entertainment on board. It made Zhao Hao feel like a year, and even he had begun to regret going to Yuezhou.

After half a month of sailing, Zhao Hao's ship finally arrived in Guangzhou, they had to dock here for two days, on the one hand, to replenish the water, on the other hand, to rest, after all, they had been floating at sea for half a month, and those boatmen were nothing, but Zhao Hao couldn't stand it.

For the daimyo of the city of Guangzhou. Zhao Hao had already heard of it, and he also knew that Zhao Yan was relying on this place to dominate the South Seas, so he was also very interested in Guangzhou City, and before the fleet came to Guangzhou, he had already sent a speedboat to Guangzhou to report the news, so that the officials of Guangzhou City were ready to greet him, and at the same time arranged for him to relax in Guangzhou City.

It is precisely because of this that when the fleet slowly sailed into the port of Guangzhou. Zhao Hao also looked very excited, and pulled Xing Shu to the deck. While enjoying the busy scenery of Guangzhou Port, he began to discuss the characteristics of Guangzhou City, and discussed how to win them over after meeting the officials of Guangzhou City, even if they could not let them take refuge immediately, but also to buy some people's hearts. Lay the foundation for intervening in the South Seas maritime trade in the future.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid our ship won't be able to dock!" At this moment, an official in charge of managing the fleet suddenly stepped forward and spoke.

"What's going on, why can't you dock?" Zhao Hao also asked strangely when he heard this.

"This ......" I saw that the official who reported the report hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke. Your Royal Highness, the official who piloted the voyage just now said that the port of Guangzhou is being expanded, and many berths cannot be used, so we can only let our ship anchor here, and then go ashore in a small boat. ”

"What? Have you not told him who your king is? Zhao Hao immediately said angrily when he heard this, he is the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, if he can't even find a berth here in Guangzhou, wouldn't it make others laugh?

"Your Highness, we said it, but the pilot official also said that they can't do anything if there are not enough berths, and the two eldest princesses came back from outside a few days ago, but they also didn't find a berth, and now their ships are also anchoring in the port." The official on the ship said helplessly again, just now he was also soft and hard, but the other party was unmoved.

"The eldest sister and the second sister?" Hearing the other party's words mention the two eldest princesses, Zhao Hao suddenly remembered that his eldest sister Princess Chen and the second sister Princess Shu were also in Guangzhou, before he only thought about going to Guangzhou to have a good time and rest, but he didn't expect these two sisters, but he didn't blame him, because he and the two princesses have never been very close.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry about the officials in the port, since there is no berth, then let's park the ship here, and don't forget to visit the two eldest princesses." At this time, Xing Shu suddenly persuaded Zhao Hao, and when he talked about the two eldest princesses, he deliberately accentuated his tone, because he knew that the husbands of the two princesses were not simple characters, and if they could be wooed, it would be an extremely important help for Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao also immediately understood when he saw Xing Shu's expression, and he had to hold back his anger and let people stop the boat, and then he and Xing Shu sailed to the dock in a small boat. Because he had already sent someone to inform the local officials before, Zhao Hao thought that he would see the sight of officials from Guangzhou coming to greet him, but he didn't expect that although there were people coming and going on the dock, he didn't see people in official uniforms, but there were a few carriages parked on the dock, and there were many servants around, which seemed to be waiting for someone?

As soon as Zhao Hao's boat docked, he saw that the carriage door on the dock was suddenly opened, and then a pair of men and women in their thirties walked out respectively. ”

When Zhao Hao walked down from the boat, he saw that Princess Chen immediately stepped forward with a smile and said: "I didn't expect you to come too, second brother, speaking of which, you are really, just send someone to me to report the news, why do you have to notify those officials, fortunately I got the news, so I drove those officials away, and the family has prepared a banquet for you, let your two brothers-in-law accompany you to have a good drink!" ”

"The eldest sister, the second sister, the two brothers-in-law, the younger brother is polite!" Although there was some surprise at the arrival of the two sisters, Zhao Hao quickly came to his senses, saluted his sister and brother-in-law at the moment, and then said again, "Originally, I thought of Guangzhou and then visited the two sisters, but I didn't expect that the eldest sister and the second sister would take the initiative to pick me up!" ”

"Hehe, what kind words do the family have, this is not a place to talk, let's go home and eat and chat, presumably the second brother must have worked very hard all the way!" At this time, the eldest princess of Shu also spoke gently.

The two sisters were kindly invited, and Zhao Hao naturally couldn't refuse, so he had to get into the carriage with Xing Shu at the moment, and then came to Princess Chen's mansion in Guangzhou, saying that after Princess Chen took over the sea trade with Wang Shiyue, he almost lived in Guangzhou, and only went back once when Zhao Shu and Zhao Ji died.

The princess's mansion has set up a banquet, and at the moment she is very enthusiastic to invite Zhao Hao and Xing Shu to sit down, and then keep persuading them to drink, originally Zhao Hao and Xing Shu wanted to ask them about the situation in Guangzhou, and by the way, they also learned about the situation in Nanyang, so that it was convenient for them to intervene in Nanyang's plans in the future, but unfortunately the two princesses have been pulling Zhao Hao to talk about family life, as for Xu Yuan and Wang Shi's appointment of these two horses, they kept asking Xing Shu about the situation in Tokyo City, whenever Xing Shu asked about Guangzhou or Nanyang, they would use the excuse to divert the topic, and frequently raised their glasses to persuade them to drink, but in the end, Zhao Hao and Xing Shu were both drunk and rested in the mansion of Princess Chen.

Waited until the next day, when the sun was three poles, Zhao Hao and Xing Shu got up from the bed with their heads covered with a headache, and only after washing did they feel better, originally they discussed and wanted to go to Guangzhou City for a walk, but they didn't expect the concubine Xu Yuan to find them again, saying that they had a reception banquet in the mansion of the eldest princess of Chen yesterday, but they had not yet gone to the princess's mansion of Shu, so they must be invited to the princess's mansion of Shu.

Under Xu Yuan's repeated requests, Zhao Hao really couldn't find a reason to shirk, and finally had no choice but to go to the Princess of Shu Mansion with Xing Shu, and as a result, there were not only Princess Shu and Xu Yuan at the banquet, but also Princess Chen and his wife, that is to say, except for the different locations of the banquet, the people who participated in the banquet did not have any changes at all.

After the banquet began, Xu Yuan and Wang Shiyue persuaded them to drink again and again, and even the bold Princess Chen Guo also accompanied them to drink a few glasses, which made Zhao Hao and Xing Shu not drink, and finally they were drunk again, and when they came to their senses again, they found that it was already the early morning of the third day, and they were already on the ship, and they had left Guangzhou City for hundreds of miles, and they only knew that they had been sent back after they were drunk yesterday afternoon, and the two princesses were in a critical situation in Yuezhou, Let them set sail without delay, and now they are on their way to Yuezhou.

At this time, even if Zhao Hao was stupid, he understood that the reason why his two sisters were so enthusiastic was actually to set a trap, in order to let him get nothing in Guangzhou City, and he didn't even see any of the local officials, let alone win them over.

Thinking of the above, Zhao Hao was also extremely annoyed, you must know that he is also the younger brother of Princess Chen and Princess Shu, why did the two sisters only help Zhao Yan and not him? It's a pity that Zhao Hao forgot that family affection also needs to move around often, Zhao Yan and his two sisters have been together for several years, and they naturally have deep feelings for each other, plus their interests are also tied together, so they naturally have to stand on Zhao Yan's side.
