Chapter 1 The prince is a chubby man
The Yun Palace was very deserted in the early years.
Since Princess Yan Yuqing was promised by the queen to the crown prince Xuanyuan Jue of the dynasty, the exchanges were very lively.
After the gentle breeze and continuous drizzle, the long-lost sunny day finally ushered in.
All the court, from high-ranking officials to powerful officials, to eunuchs and minor officials, were busy with the upcoming birthday of the queen.
It is not easy to do a birthday every year.
Those princelings who swear to support the prince to the death in order to show their loyalty were even more smiling for the Queen Bo and searching for the most treasures in the world.
I heard that Jinggang, the largest port in Beijing, has been slapped in recent days. Those high-ranking officials and nobles who are always looking for a long time, are like merchant ships waiting for the stop of the post at the port today.
If you want to ask them why they do it themselves, it is not because this is a very eye-catching job. Putting aside the queen's preferences, it is not something you can buy just by spending money.
Those ships carrying jewelry from all over the country are often swallowed up by a huge crowd shortly after they dock.
In the palace of Prince Yun, the maids and women were taking good care of the flowers and plants in the garden.
Yan Yuqing sat among the flowers, looking at the flowers and branches cut off due to the lush blooming, and looked at the willow branches swaying outside the wall in disappointment.
What is the difference between her and that flower now? She seems to grow well, but she also has the fate of being repaired and reduced.
"Princess, Qingzhu really doesn't understand you. If other ladies in the mansion were betrothed to His Royal Highness, they would be so happy that they wouldn't be able to sleep. You're so happy that you sigh all day long." The maid wearing goose yellow clothes couldn't help but persuade.
Yan Yuqing didn't look back and just rolled her eyes. She was a time traveler. Although she became a royal child according to the script, she had been a child of a royal family since she was a child, and she had seen many palace struggles. She couldn't even be interested in the character of the prince.
The Empress Dowager promised her to Xuanyuan Jue, which was like forcing her to jump into the fire pit, which made her happy.
What's more, the prince in her impression was a greedy little fat man.
"You girl, you have a very strong mouth. If you really envy me, when I beg my father to take you as my adopted daughter and marry me, wouldn't everyone be happy?"
Yan Yuqing teased her, and Qingzhu was so scared that she "thumped" and then knelt down.
"Prince, don't scare me, I will follow you for the rest of my life!"
"A lifetime? You think about beauty. I have to find someone to betroth you early. I save you from chattering in my ears all day long. Look at whoever girl is like you, I have spoiled me." Yan Yuqing's slender jade finger was a little on Qingzhu's head.
The latter smiled loudly, knowing that Yan Yuqing was not really angry, he stood up and pinched her shoulders, and said with a good manner: "That's why I won't leave the princess!"
Yan Yuqing was indeed not angry. She thought that she had made an appointment with the bearded uncle to go to Beijing and Hong Kong to pick up the goods today, so she urged Qingzhu to change her clothes and go out.
Qingzhu quickly brought a bunch of pleated skirts of various colors, spread them on the bed, and asked breathlessly: "Princess, see which one to wear today?"
Yan Yuqing glanced at the conservative and cumbersome dresses, turned around and picked a blue Hu clothing from the cabinet. The Hu clothing outlined her graceful figure, with a strong exotic style, and her fair skin appeared in the tassels.
Qingzhu couldn't help but hold her forehead. You are going to sneak out again. She was wearing a flying bun and instructed: "The princess is going to come back early today. The last time she was caught by the princess, Qingzhu almost saved her life."
"Be good, be good, I know you're the best. Don't worry, I'll come back early." As they spoke, the two of them had already reached the side door of the yard. Yan Yuqing pointed to the small door, put his hand beside his mouth to make a silence move, and leaned over and said, "The old rules, you close the door after I go out, don't let your mother know." After saying that, there was no one.
The lively market, bustling crowds, and the business in the capital always seem to be so prosperous.
Yan Yuqing looked at everything around her enviously, and then looked back at the Yun Palace that she had just come out. The closed Yun Palace formed a strong and sharp contrast with the lively market.
I don’t know how many streets and alleys I passed through, and finally arrived at the Beijing Port, which she is most familiar with. I heard that the bearded uncle’s lucky cargo ship will arrive today. This is the largest ship dealer from a foreign land, specializing in collecting exquisite items here and transporting them to the royal family over the sea.
"Xiaoyuan, is the Fuyun Caravan here today?" Yan Yuqing laughed and patted a dark boy bent over and pulled the ropes of the boat in the harbor.
"It's already here and is docking. Sister Qing is not going to get married, but she still has the leisure to come to Taobao?" The boy said to Yan Yuqing with a silly smile, and applied sweat beads on his face with his arms.
"Don't worry about so many children. Taobao/bao is a woman's hobby. Do you understand?"
At this time, a loud voice came not far away, "Fuyun is docked, and the rope is tied with a board." It passed through the noisy crowd and came into their ears.
"I'll go over and pull the rope." Xiaoyuan ran to the front, and Yan Yuqing also followed him along the way, and stepped onto the lucky merchant ship with a familiarity.
The thin gold sticks to the wall and the pearls spread the floor, which left a deep impression on her young one. Zhenzhen'er is even more dazzling than the palace where her aunt lives.
"Xiaoqing, long time no see." The old man with long beard and blue eyes walked out of the cabin and opened his arms with a smile.
Yan Yuqing rushed to the bearded man's arms and giggled, "I haven't seen him for only two months, so it's not a long time. The bearded uncle is too exaggerated."
"The more you speak Chinese, the better you are." Yan Yuqing praised without hesitation.
"It's not thanks to you. Although there are teachers who teach us there, it's still different from what we say here. If you hadn't been teaching carefully in the past few years, our business wouldn't have been so smooth now." The bearded uncle patted Yan Yuqing's head with gratitude.
"Uncle, did you help me find the rough red coral I mentioned last time?" Yan Yuqing immediately got back to the point.
"I found it, but..." The bearded uncle suddenly showed a embarrassed expression and thought for a while: "Oh, Xiaoqing, why don't you look at something else, the uncle will give it to you for free."
The bearded uncle is a hero and righteous man, and Yan Yuqing has always been very relieved to deal with him. But today, seeing him flickering and talking hesitantly, I guess something must have happened that she didn't know.
"What's wrong with uncle? Could it be that after finding it, he was hit into the sea by the wind and waves?" Yan Yuqing smiled and inquired.
A hint of hesitation flashed in the blue eyes of the bearded uncle: "It was not that he fell into the sea, but was taken away by another nobleman. Look, the servants over there are what you want."
Yan Yuqing looked in the direction pointed by the bearded uncle and saw a group of arrogant servants directing the crew to carry things. The sign on the armband looked very familiar.
"The man from Ningguo Hou Mansion?" Yan Yuqing pulled the corners of her mouth and asked sinisterly: "Is it Ning Jiuge or Ning Qiyue?"
"It's the lady from Ningguo Hou Mansion. She found out from somewhere that this is what you want, so she insisted on buying it. Without our approval, she took it away."
The bearded uncle said as he looked ashamed, patted Yan Yuqing on the shoulder, and comforted him: "It's just a branch of the sea, I'll give you something better. Xiaoqing, benevolence makes money, you must not look for their fault."
"Miss Ning Guohou, is Ning Qiyue? She knows it's my thing and wants to grab it?" Yan Yuqing raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the bearded uncle with a face full of embarrassment, and showed a Buddhist smile: "Don't worry, I won't go to cause trouble for her, I will not insult my identity."
