Chapter 85 Princess Guangde
"How old is that high man now?"
Slid in the carriage slightly, Zhang Huaiyi heard this and sprayed tea with a "puff" sound. The water mist fell. Geng Qing quickly raised his sleeve and patted the water stains on it.
"Just ask about your age, is it necessary to be so surprised?"
There was a clear breath over there, and Zhang Huaiyi waved his hands with relief, "Your Highness is so old, you will know that she was talking about you yesterday. She said you were in danger this time, be careful and don't talk nonsense."
So that's it.
Geng Qing nodded, and it was obvious that this young master who usually acted fiercely was often defeated in front of this Guangde princess.
As the carriage moved forward, he passed through several Fang Streets, entered the west market, and arrived at Xianghe Tower. The shop guy stood at the door with a rag, and there were few customers coming in and out. When he entered the inner room, he saw several guards wearing regular clothes guarding the stairs. One of Zhang Huaiyi’s guards nodded, and the latter stepped back to one side to make way.
"Please, two of you."
Geng Qing actually thought he would see him in a special place, but he didn't expect to choose a restaurant with a large number of people, and he probably had the consideration of avoiding suspicion.
Following behind, he went up the second floor, and several guards stood guard everywhere. On the elegant seat opposite the inner room, a woman in apricot yellow dress sat at the small table, brewing tea and drinking slowly.
As soon as he got up, Zhang Huaiyi walked over quickly, raised his hands respectfully, looked at Geng Qing with his lowered head slightly, and his eyes signaled him to salute him quickly. This guy usually has five or six people, and at this time he is more attentive than Geng Qing.
"Geng Qing, a man from the grass, pay homage to Your Highness."
Geng Qing walked forward and shook his sleeves, bowed and bowed. Yu Guang secretly looked at the princess. The eyes bent her eyebrows were used to the warmth and warmth of the world, and she was calm and unconscious. The ordinary apricot yellow dress on her body moved, and she smiled faintly on her face. She poured a cup of freshly brewed tea and put it on the opposite table. "No need to be too polite, Geng Langjun comes to take her seat."
In the faint smile raised, there was nearly forty-year-old wind on his face, and his majestic voice also had the unique gentleness of women of this age.
"Yes." When we first got into the deal, we were a woman with experience. Geng Qing slightly restrained his past casual joking attitude, sat down on the opposite side with a gentle step, and politely invited Zhang Huaiyi to sit down next to him.
The latter's mouth twitched.
‘I don’t see you as politely as you usually do...’
After the two of them sat down, no one of them spoke first. Their eyes slightly turned aside and they looked straight at the roof opposite the building.
"Listen to Huaiyi, Geng Langjun is very eloquent and knowledgeable. Why did he sit down without saying a word?" Princess Guangde raised her little finger slightly, held up the teacup gracefully, sipped her red lips gently, and her eyes fell on the face of the young man sitting in a dangerous manner. She continued with a slight smile and words: "...Is it because a girl is sitting here, Geng Langjun is inconvenient to speak?"
Sure enough, women with experience speak differently.
Geng Qing curled his lips, put down the teacup with a smile, raised his sleeves and bowed: "Your Highness is a princess, and he is not the people. When he sees Your Highness, he is naturally as if he is on pins and needles and does not dare to speak at will."
"He was right. When he first met, he sat in the last position and didn't dare to speak, for fear of being angry!" Zhang Huaiyi quickly agreed. He was not stupid, so he didn't know how powerful the Princess Guangde in front of him was. Today, he called Geng Qing. Out of loyalty, he didn't want Geng Qing to fall.
"I didn't talk to you."
Princess Guangde frowned slightly, and Zhang Huaiyi quickly picked up the teacup and pressed it to the side, lowering his head and turning it to the side. At this time, the woman's eyes fell on the young man again.
"He is a honest man in Huaiyi, and he naturally thinks that the husband is good. However, after hearing about you, I became interested and asked Huaiyi to invite you over and let me see you."
"Since your highness has seen him, what do you think?"
If he was called and saw a princess in the Tang Dynasty, he was verbally warned but did not take any action to punish him. Then Geng Qing knew the purpose very clearly and he was naturally bolder at the moment.
Li Huan did not answer his words, but just smiled faintly and talked about Liu Da who was raving that day, praising Geng Qing for his intelligence, but also said that he used his tricks and did not have the same way as before, and said it in a grand manner, but instead pushed Geng Qing out of the disadvantage.
"...... Geng Langjun is quite talented. Go ahead and take a look in Chang'an and walk around more. You can come to the Prince's Mansion if you have nothing to do. It is always good to ask my husband for some knowledge. Don't be idle and waste your talents."
The woman speaks sincerely and can see a commoner as a princess of the Tang Dynasty. It can be seen that her attitude towards Geng Qing is naturally clear about the youth's mood.
"Thank you for your teachings. When the family stabilizes, I will ask my son-in-law for advice."
"Well, it's good to understand."
The woman didn't say anything next, such as humbly asking for advice and not taking wrong paths, but instead started to have family matters and asked Geng Qing's parents with a smile that she could adapt after coming to Chang'an.
He sent the Princess Guangde downstairs to the end of the long street. Geng Qing breathed out and knew that this woman was not simple. Then he went to a nearby shop to buy candied fruit. On the way back, Zhang Huaiyi talked about the princess on the carriage.
"...Your Highness is the four daughters of Xuanzong. Originally, the son-in-law Yu Cong married Princess Yongfu, but he was willful and stingy, which made Xuanzong dislike him. The two sisters exchanged and Princess Guangde married Yu Cong."
In the shaking carriage, listening to Zhang Huaiyi's narration, Geng Qing then filled in his understanding of the Princess Guangde.
Li Huan and Zhen De were virtuous and wise, unlike many princesses in Tang. They did not like to be close to each other and ended up together. They respected and loved their parents and sisters, and never showed their royal status to suppress others.
Later, Yu Cong was demoted twice, and she resolutely followed her and left Chang'an to go to the place where her husband was exiled. She truly achieved the goal of marrying a chicken and following the chicken and following the dog.
He even worried that his husband would be framed and sent assassin to assassin. Whenever he traveled, he would walk in front of his husband and tie himself with a rope.
...........
Geng Qing has also read some of the "reputation" of the Tang Dynasty princess in books, which is bold and unrestrained, but when it comes to this Guangde princess, it is really different. It is really awe-inspiring to be able to do this level.
When we met Geng Qing, it was because Zhang Huaiyi praised him and was worried that he would be used. Later, because Geng Qing's talent and intelligence were also worried that such a young man would go astray, so we were summoned today.
"Your Highness asked you to go to the Prince Consort's Mansion to ask for teaching from Prince Consort. This is a rare opportunity. It is more beneficial than the few of us brothers to stuff you to those small officials. You should know that Prince Consort is the current Shangshu Zuo Pushe!"
In the carriage, Zhang Huaiyi said excitedly, as if he had to take the re-entry of the mansion. Soon, the carriage stopped in Yong'anfang.
"I guess someone will send you a waist card from the Prince Consort's Mansion tomorrow!"
The strong young man lifted the curtain and walked down the carriage. Geng Qing reminded him again, then bowed and left in the carriage.
‘If you can enter the Secretariat, it is a good choice.’
On the way to Chang'an, he asked Qin Huaimian about some matters about the court's provincial and ministerial departments. The six ministries of the Shangshu Province, including the supervisor of the six ministries of the Ministry of Justice, the military, the rituals, households, and the officials, were real power.
But the real idea of that Princess Guangde is to use him Geng Qing or just use it as a tool. She hasn't thought thoroughly yet, and it's not too late to think about it for a while.
When I walked into the yard, it was still early and Bai Yunxiang had not come back yet. Qiao Niang sat under the eaves and lay on a small table listening to the annoying cicadas, and her little head slapped.
Next to his feet, the little red fox was lying on the ground, stroking his tail from time to time to sweep away the flying mosquitoes. Hearing the footsteps, he opened his eyes in a depressed way, looked at the owner who came in, stuck out his tongue and closed his eyes and leaned back.
Knowing and knowing ~~
The wind blew into the courtyard, and the cicadas roared and then roared. Geng Qing walked back to the eaves with his hands and feet, moved a stool and sat in the courtyard, picked up the utensils that had not been made before and polished.
Before long, footsteps approached. Geng Qing raised his eyes, Qiaoniang poured a bowl of herbal tea and held it in her hand. The young man took it and took it, joked with the girl, and continued to fiddler with the tools.
Qiao Niang squatted beside her, holding her moist chin, looking quietly, occasionally, smiling at the corner of her mouth and laughing softly.
On a quiet afternoon, the remaining reds of the setting sun shine on the ancient city walls.
Soon, a carriage slowly drove towards the cold neighborhood. A figure in palace costumes came down from the chariot and walked into the courtyard that had long been known. Looking at the young man who was thinking of utensils under the tree, a little smile appeared on his cold face.
"Geng Langjun, it's been a long time since we met."
On the other side, Geng Qing turned around and at the gate of the courtyard, a figure wearing a shallow green palace robe was walking in. It was the young eunuch Jiuyu who had seen in Feihu County two months ago.
