Only Shen Ao's face remained normal, but he was also a little happy in his heart. Although he knew that the steps were correct, after all, he had prepared all the ingredients in the Zhongguo Duke's mansion, he was still in a good mood when he saw the success. "Here, come on, Take out the wrapping paper you brought and wrap the soaps neatly."
Good things must also be packaged well. This is very important for giving people the first impression. Fortunately, Shen Ao's brushes and painting skills are very good, especially the latter who have won awards. He stayed in the mansion for the past two days. What I have been busy with is writing the packaging. Although I am a little tired, when I think of the benefits that the success of this matter will bring to me, everything is nothing.
Shi Lei and the other three quickly picked up the wrapping paper that had been prepared. After watching Shen Ao wrap a piece of soap himself, they followed suit. On the basis that the size was just right, a hundred pieces of soap were very convenient. Soon it was surrounded by a layer of gorgeous light golden paper, with four elegant characters for Goat Milk Soap written on it. Shen Ao, who once stayed in the calligrapher's academy, was still very good at calligraphy with a brush.
With these packages, the soap's feeling instantly improved by several levels. Shi Lei and others looked at it with stars in their eyes and were filled with envy.
Taking in the expressions of these people, Shen Ao asked Shi Lei to drive the oxcart over again. There were still raw materials there. Now that he succeeded, of course he had to continue. But this time before leaving, Shen Ao again He left a guard named Geng Liang behind and told him to guard this place no matter what. No one was allowed to approach or spy on him, otherwise he could be arrested and brought to the official. After that, he took Shi Lei and another guard Feng Xun to drive the cattle. The car left Zhao's workshop and headed straight to the most prosperous place in the city, Daqian Palace.
The Daqian Palace is majestic and towering, with layers of Qin bricks and Han tiles, purple pillars and golden beams, all of which are extremely luxurious.
The bright red rosewood is carved with a dragon and a phoenix winding on both sides of the gate, which looks very noble; the handles are also two gold faucet heads, with two precious luminous pearls inlaid next to the handles, which are white and moving; and from a distance, The door inlaid with gold is even more dazzling under the sunlight.
At the main gate, in front of the Shenwu Gate, there are hundreds of soldiers in golden armor standing majestically, demonstrating the value and inviolability of this place.
They are the sergeants who guard the palace, and they are also the most elite golden armor army in the Daqian Dynasty.
The Shenwu Gate will only be opened during major festivals, and even the main and side gates, the Anding Gate, will only be opened when officials go to court. Those like Shen Ao who want to enter the palace to see the imperial concubine will go to another one. The side door is Chaoyang Gate. Although there is also a Jinjia Army guarding there, the inspection of entry and exit is a little looser. At least Shen Ao can still come and go freely.
Of course, this is also because Shen Ao is still young, only fifteen years old. According to the rules of the Daqian Dynasty, only sixteen years old is considered an adult man. He can now come and go freely, which is one of the benefits of being young. Already.
This was not the first time here. With the memory in his mind, the ox cart stopped in front of Chaoyang Gate. Shi Lei and Feng Xun carried a cardboard box and followed Shen Ao straight to the side door. Jin Jiajun saw who was coming. When Duke Zhongguo came, he just came up to check briefly, and waved to let him go if he didn't find any swords.
With his head held high, Shen Ao walked into the palace with two guards. The ground paved with fine white jade shone with a warm light. In the distance, there seemed to be a mist shrouding the unreal palace. The cornices were carved from sandalwood. The phoenix spreads its wings and is about to fly, with floating windows carved from blue tiles and jade-stacked wall panels.
It was like a dream, feeling the luxurious construction of the palace. After a while, I arrived in front of the Jinshui Bridge. There were more than a dozen eunuchs standing here one after another. They were responsible for guiding visitors and also responsible for entering the inner palace. It is used for communication. After all, you are not here. You can see whoever you want. It also depends on whether the other party wants to see you.
After Shi Lei and Feng Xun came here, they put the two cartons on the ground. Then they honestly stepped aside. Regardless of whether Concubine Zhao saw her or not, they would never be able to cross the bridge as they walked here. This is their final destination.
Shen Ao, on the other hand, walked to an empty chair under the shade of a tree and sat down. A eunuch had already crossed the bridge to report the news. He was only waiting for Concubine Zhao's consent, and then someone would be sent to guide him before he could cross the bridge. Go and see the rightful owner.
This takes a certain amount of time. Shen Ao has corrected the Bajing Dukes. Even if the Daqian Dynasty used force to establish the country, the number of Dukes who have been granted the title is only in double digits. When I think of this matter, Shen Ao had to admire his father. Although he had never seen him and had no impression of him, he would think about it when he had nothing to do. How much contribution did he make to win this honor?
There was tea poured next to the chair, and Shen Ao was sipping it lightly. He looked unhurried and unhurried. In the Juhe Palace on the other side of the Jinshui Bridge, the eunuch had already reported the news. At this time, a young and handsome palace maid She was standing in front of a graceful middle-aged woman who was smiling and said, "Madam, the young master must be short of money again. There are still ten days before the end of the month. I don't know how the money is spent. of."
The middle-aged woman sitting on the chair is beautiful and elegant, with a smile on her kind face. When she heard the voice of the maid next to her, she couldn't help but smile. Not to mention, even though she was over thirty years old, she still smiled. It also gives people a stunning feeling, that kind of mature female beauty that attracts men's attention.
"Okay, don't be poor. Go and pick her up quickly. If you're late, I'm afraid the young prince will cause trouble for you again." The middle-aged woman is Zhao Fei. Her real name is Zhao Yingying. She followed her when she was sixteen years old. She married Tang Qingshan, the then crown prince and current emperor, and her sister Zhao Yanyan also married Shen Yuntian, who was the general at the time.
The two daughters of the Zhao family married into two families, which was very popular at the time. A year later, the two daughters became pregnant one after another. Coincidentally, they gave birth on the same day. At that time, the war was at the last critical moment. Under the care of Zhao Yingying, she gave birth to a baby girl, who is now the fifth princess Tang Min. Zhao Yanyan gave birth to the current prince Shen Ao more than an hour earlier, and then died of heavy bleeding.
