In the Tang Dynasty, there was no title of princess. In the Tang Dynasty, the princess was the county lord.
The Lord of Jinxiang County was sitting in the hall, as elegant as orchid, and calm. After looking at each other with Li Qinzai, he quickly lowered his head and continued to tune the guqin in front of the case.
Li Qinzai did not dare to be rude, so he bowed and said: "I am lowered to the rank of official Li Qinzai, and I would like to pay my respects to the county lord."
The Lord of Jinxiang County hummed and said calmly: "You and I are both guests of Mrs. Korea's house. Governor Li doesn't need to be polite."
Mrs. Han looked at Li Qinzai and then at the Lord of Jinxiang County. She suddenly smiled and said: "As a governor and a County Lord, there is no need to be cautious in my house. It is inevitable that the etiquette will be careless. Why not be more relaxed?"
Treat yourself as a guest.”
A question suddenly popped up in Li Qinzai's mind.
The fiefdom of King Teng was originally in Tengzhou, Shandong, so it was named "King Teng". Later, he was disliked by Li Zhi and moved his fiefdom to Hongzhou.
Hongzhou was the Nanchang of later generations. The reason why Li Zhi did not like to see this imperial uncle was superficially because Prince Teng was arrogant and extravagant, but the real reason was that during Taizong's mourning period, Prince Teng ignored the court etiquette and held a banquet with prostitutes in the palace and had a carnival.
Li Zhi was originally a filial person, so King Teng's move was tantamount to insulting his father, so he naturally would not treat him well. Not long after he ascended the throne, he found a reason to move King Teng's fiefdom to Hongzhou.
This Prince of Teng was also a wonderful man, with the same bastard constitution as Li Qinzai. After the fiefdom was moved to Hongzhou, he built a Prince Teng Pavilion in Hongzhou without saying anything, and then continued to drink and have fun in the Prince Teng Pavilion every day.
Therefore, why did King Teng’s daughter, the Princess of Jinxiang County, appear at the house of Lady Han in Bingzhou?
Li Qinzai came to Bingzhou not to enjoy life, but to do business and handle cases. The appearance of the head of Jinxiang County made him not think too much.
At this time and place, the person who interacted with Mrs. Korea inevitably made him wonder whether the owner of Jinxiang County was also involved in driving up the price of grain in Bingzhou.
Li Qinzai couldn't help but feel dizzy. A Korean lady was enough to embarrass him, and another county head came.
If they are really colluding, Mrs. Korea can kill her, but can the Lord of Jinxiang County kill her?
Undecided, the Korean lady clapped her hands, and a team of maids lined up to serve the wine and food.
Another group of gorgeously dressed maikos entered the hall, waving their long sleeves in the hall. Amidst the music of bells and bells, the maikos raised their feet and scratched their heads, and every move was thrilling.
Li Qinzai sat upright and looked straight at him, unmoved.
The Korean lady covered her mouth and chuckled from time to time, but the Jinxiang County Lord had an indifferent expression, and his calm eyes occasionally glanced at Li Qinzai's face.
While the dancers were still dancing, the Korean lady walked up to Li Qinzai with a wine glass, leaned softly on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Is Li Qishi satisfied with the dancers in my mansion? I heard that you are newly married.
He was transferred to Bingzhou not long ago, haven't you had enough of the taste of Wenwen Township?"
"Your Majesty is really cruel. For a minister who values so much, he separated the couple just after they got married. He doesn't understand the style at all. If Li Qishi has the intention to serve as the king, why not... choose two of the dancers in my house and give them to you back?
Fragrant warm pillow mat?"
Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched. Are you going to use this to test a veteran cadre?
"Thank you, Madam, for your generosity. No need. I am a gentleman, and I read the Spring and Autumn Annals!" Li Qinzai said solemnly.
The Korean lady was stunned for a moment, then giggled.
Even the indifferent Lord of Jinxiang County cast a look of surprise at him. It was the first time for a woman who had never seen the world to see a gentleman who had read the Spring and Autumn Annals.
The Korean lady laughed so hard that her chest was still DUANG, DUANG, and she gasped: "No wonder His Majesty and my sister think so highly of you. Governor Li is not only talented, but also very funny."
Li Qinzai drank a glass of wine speechlessly.
Is this also called being funny? You obviously have a low point of laughter, okay?
After the Korean lady laughed for a moment, she suddenly came over and whispered: "It's not easy to be the governor of Bingzhou. This year's situation... Heh, I'm afraid that Governor Li came to Bingzhou not just to be the governor, right?"
Li Qinzai was startled, then smiled and said, "Madam, are you drunk?"
Mrs. Korea said quietly: "As we grow older, we meet people who are not human beings. Yesterday's love, today's drunkenness, there are so many bad lucks in the world, so what if we are not drunk?"
Li Qinzai kept his posture still and said calmly: "Madam, I am just the governor."
Mrs. Han was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled sadly: "Yes, you are just the governor, why am I telling you this...I am indeed drunk."
The Lord of Jinxiang County, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "You are all drunk. Today's banquet is so boring. I'm leaving."
After saying that, the Lord of Jinxiang County got up and walked out.
The Korean lady ignored her and didn't even send it away. She still stared at Li Qinzai and whispered: "Is the banquet really boring? Is it the banquet that is boring, or is the host of the banquet boring? People in the world are really boring, just drinking and having fun.
, why do you have to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy first?"
Li Qinzai watched the Lord of Jinxiang County walk out of the palace, then looked back and whispered: "May I ask, madam, why is the Lord of Jinxiang County in Bingzhou?"
Mrs. Han smiled and said: "I knew you were going to ask this. King Teng was very happy to travel. The Lord of Jinxiang County accompanied her father from the north to travel here. Don't forget that there is a Jinyang Palace in Bingzhou City. King Teng is here.
He is here to pay homage to our great ancestor and emperor, and has been temporarily staying in Bingzhou for more than a month."
Suddenly leaning into his ear, the Korean lady said affectionately: "Is the Lord of Jinxiang County good? I am in the age of cardamom and have not yet been married. It is a pity that Li Cishi is married. I am afraid that it is rare to have a good relationship, but there is a Korean here.
Madam, I don’t mind whether you are married or not, haha.”
Li Qinzai twitched the corners of his mouth and unconsciously turned his body to distance himself from her.
This woman is so good at flirting. If she were like this on weekdays, Li Zhi would probably have a grassland growing above his head.
Fortunately, I have deep concentration. Oh, I read "Spring and Autumn"!
…………
After the banquet ended, Li Qinzai tried his best to resist the temptation. When he walked out of Wu's house, he was already staggering a little.
Standing outside the door of the mansion, Li Qinzai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
What kind of old house is this? It's clearly a Pansi Cave. The Korean lady is so charming, with her sultry little eyes, and her DUANG, DUANG majestic waves. Li Qinzai almost fell into it.
If something happens to her today, what happens next will be really troublesome.
After walking out of the mansion and turning a corner, Li Qinzai was about to return to the governor's mansion when he suddenly saw a figure standing in the middle of the street.
Liu Asi and the others suddenly became nervous. They pressed the handle of the knife with their hands and stood in front of Li Qinzai, staring at the figure warily.
Li Qinzai squinted his eyes and recognized her, patted Liu Asi on the shoulder and said, "Relax, I'm not an assassin."
The figure walked out of the darkness, and there were many figures behind her, and there were obviously many people guarding her.
Li Qinzai smiled and saluted her: "The county master has been waiting here?"
The person who came out of the darkness was the Lord of Jinxiang County.
The expression on Jinxiang County Lord's face was still indifferent, which made Li Qinzai feel regretful.
What a beautiful face, but it's too cold.
The head of Jinxiang County stood in front of Li Qinzai and said calmly: "Did Li Qishi come to take office here to check the price of grain in Bingzhou?"
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly and said, "Why does everyone in the world know the purpose of my coming to Bingzhou?"
The Lord of Jinxiang County said coldly: "Is it difficult to guess?"
Li Qinzai blinked: "What does the county master have to say?"
The Lord of Jinxiang County said indifferently: "There are many people involved in driving up the price of food in Bingzhou, and they are all powerful people. Mrs. Korea is just one of them, and you can't stop the price of food from rising. The water here is too deep."
Li Qinzai sneered: "Are you or your father included among the people who are driving up food prices?"
The Lord of Jinxiang County did not answer.
Li Qinzai sighed and cupped his hands towards her: "There is a severe drought in Bingzhou and it is difficult for the people to make a living. Please leave a way for the people to survive."
The Lord of Jinxiang County said coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with me."
Li Qinzai looked at her seriously for a long time, and he was not sure. If a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child said that she colluded with merchants to drive up food prices, it would be a bit unbelievable.
For some reason, Li Qinzai suddenly noticed that there were jackals everywhere in Bingzhou. He seemed to be in a man-eating jungle, with green eyes staring at him in the dark surroundings.
The Lord of Jinxiang County was silent for a while and said in a low voice: "If Governor Li is aware of current affairs, it would be better for him to resign as Governor of Bingzhou and return to Chang'an before the autumn harvest. Even if he is scolded by His Majesty, it is worse than being trapped in the quagmire of Bingzhou."
Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes: "Is this your personal suggestion, or is it a message given to others?"
"Both of them are available. I would like to ask Governor Li to consider it."
