Two hours later, when the sunset over the Changhe River was about to disappear, Haitang saw a pair of carriages pulling tributes and carrying the flag of the Western Region Kingdom coming here.
He stood up in front of the two of them.
The prince of the Western Regions knew that this was Zilu's friend, so he came down to receive him personally as a courtesy.
The prince wore a traditional Western hat with a Helan stone inlaid on it. Although it was expensive, it was very simple. His pair of black boots were each inlaid with a turquoise. These stones are only found in the Western Regions.
In the eyes of others, these stones are either precious or ordinary, used for decoration or furnishings. In Haitang's eyes, they are all minerals, a kind of creation of heaven and earth. If Haitang likes them, it must be because they can be extracted from these stones.
The chemicals she needs...
For example, the essence of Helan stone is just sio2, ai2o3, fe2o3, and k2o, while turquoise is a phosphate mineral of the triclinic system. It can be ground into powder and used as a raw material for the mute girl to paint!
"Hello, girls." The prince of the Western Regions smiled and walked over, stopping about one meter away from Begonia and Wintersweet. He took off his hat and nodded gently to say hello.
"The lips are red and the teeth are white. They don't look like people from the wind and sand in Saibei." Lamei was stunned. She originally thought that the prince of the Western Regions should be tall and thick, with a full face and beard, and his hair was knotted and not washed, because the Western Regions lacked
As for water, I even heard that they use foot washing water to cook...
I didn't expect him to be like this. The outline of his facial features was indeed different from that of the Central Plains people, but it was very good-looking and even thought-provoking. Lamei's eyes never left.
It wasn't until Haitang pulled the corner of Wintersweet's clothes that she calmed down.
Shameful, shameful, I am not a Tian Niu. Lamei thought to herself.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Haitang bowed in response to the etiquette of the Western Regions. She had already learned these things from books at the young prince's place that night, and she didn't want to get in trouble.
The prince nodded again.
Polite and polite. In fact, as the prince of the Western Regions, he does not need to be like this. In the future, he will be the king of the Western Regions, but he does not have any arrogance and arrogance, but is very humble.
If he had an aloof temperament, he wouldn't have a close personal relationship with Zilu. Haitang thought to herself.
"Please get in the carriage." The voice of the prince of the Western Regions did not sound like a man in the desert. The two girls got on the carriage of the Western Regions, and the group behind the prince also got on the carriage again. Finally, the prince entered his exclusive carriage.
.
We walked slowly towards the capital along the way, arriving at the capital tomorrow morning according to the agreed time.
"Is he really a prince?" Lamei was still muttering in a low voice, "The biggest official I have ever seen before was the county magistrate. I didn't dare to speak when I went to his house. Later I met Mr. Zhang and Master Zhang. It was the same in our county.
A well-known figure, and later I met the young prince, a big shot in the capital. I didn’t expect to see the prince of the Western Regions now, it’s like a dream..."
The popularity of wintersweet is getting bigger and bigger.
"Don't worry, tomorrow you will be able to see the most powerful person in my court, the emperor." Haitang said.
"You said that the emperor is always an old man with a sinister face. I heard that he is the prince's brother. The prince is already so old. His brother..." Lamei curled her lips. The prince of the Western Regions is still good-looking.
"Why, you want to be the emperor's concubine all the time, and you still care about her appearance..." Haitang asked with a smile.
