It's easy to be a villain, but hard to be a princess

It is a good title to be named King of Shu in the land of Bashu.Han Zixiao asked again: "Boss Liu, what do you think of this King of Shu?"

"Speaking of the King of Shu, I can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights." Liu Hao took a sip of his wine, smacked his lips and said, "Originally, the officials in Bashu were corrupt and searched for the people's fat and anointing. There is no way of life under the nose. Two years ago, after the King of Shu came, the corrupt officials in Bashu were the first to be punished. A large number of them were killed, and some useful ones were demoted. The stolen silver on the Internet is distributed to the poor, and the people of Bashu applaud it."

After hearing this, Han Zixiao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He was happy that he had the support of all the people, but at the same time, he was sad that he knew nothing about Chu Muqing in the past two years.

But not a day stopped thinking about him.

I don't know if he can marry a wife and have children?

Han Zixiao asked tentatively again: "The last time I went to the capital, I heard that six out of twenty kings of Shu have not accepted concubines. I wonder if they are still lonely now?"

Liu Haodao: "As for Wangfei Liu, I really haven't heard anyone mention it, but the little princes in the palace can walk, so one can imagine that the prince is definitely not alone."

"Really." Han Zixiao smiled bitterly, it turned out that he already had an heir, and being able to walk means that he is over a year old.They were separated for two years, and Han Zixiao really didn't know anything.

Han Zixiao rested overnight at Liu's residence.

Liu Hao was busy with business these days and couldn't accompany Han Zixiao, so he ordered someone to lead Han Zixiao around.The person who led the way was named Liu Hua, Liu Hao's eldest nephew, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Along the way, Han Zixiao asked Liu Hua about Chu Muqing. Liu Hua said that the King of Shu lived in Rongcheng, and it was still a long way from here, and it would take half a day to ride there.

Han Zixiao said that he wanted to see Bashan Shushui, but in fact he still wanted to see that person, so he asked Liu Hua to lead the way to Rongcheng.

Every time I take a step closer to Rongcheng, my heart beats faster.

Rongcheng is richer than Liaocheng, and it is the most prosperous place in the land of Bashu.It was past noon when the three of them arrived in Rongcheng.Liu Hua first took Han Zixiao into a restaurant to have a rest and eat Chinese food along the way.

The desk Liu Hua chose was by the window, and the paper window was wide open, allowing a gentle breeze to blow in, making it very comfortable.Sitting by the window, the street downstairs and the houses in the distance can be seen clearly.Han Zixiao held his wine glass and watched the people coming and going in the street downstairs.

Dishes were brought out one after another, all local dishes, Liu Hua said, "I ordered a few random ones just now, I don't know if this dish suits Boss Han's appetite."

Han Zixiao looked back from downstairs, and glanced at the few dishes on the table, "This dish suits my taste just by looking at it."

"That's good."

Han Zixiao was eating, and glanced downstairs from time to time, Ye Qing came over and whispered: "Master, this city of Rong is very big, it's not such a coincidence."

Han Zixiao replied in a low voice, "Fate is hard to say."

After eating and sitting upstairs for a while, Liu Hua led Han Zixiao to wander around the bustling streets of Rongcheng. Han Zixiao went into several silk shops to have a look. Not every silk shop can sell it.

Shu brocade is exquisite and cumbersome, and it takes a lot of manpower to weave a piece of cloth, so it is precious, and the world has a saying that every inch of brocade is precious.Ordinary people can't afford it, and only high-ranking officials and dignitaries wear clothes made of Shu brocade.

Han Zixiao looked at several shops in a row, and finally saw Shu brocade in an exquisitely decorated silk shop, and asked the price. A piece of Shu brocade cost about a few dozen taels of silver, while ordinary cloth was only worth a few taels of silver, which was better. The ones are more than ten taels.

If Han Zixiao buys goods from here and resells them in the south of the Yangtze River, he will have to take at least [-]% of the profits so as not to lose money.

After looking at the Shu Brocade and walking to the end of the street, Liu Hua said, "The palace is just a short walk ahead, Boss Han should go and have a look."

Han Zixiao hesitated for a moment, Ye Qing said from the side: "My lord, it's rare to come here once, let's go and have a look."

Han Zixiao nodded, and followed Liu Hua to the gate of the palace.Han Zixiao stood in front of the gate and looked at the words Shuwangfu on the lintel.The doorman came out, bowed his body and asked, "Who is this young man looking for?"

Han Zixiao opened his mouth and chuckled, "I'm not looking for anyone, I just stopped by to have a look."

At this time, a servant girl came out from inside, grabbed the boy's arm anxiously and asked, "Have you seen Xiao Shizi?"

The boy shook his head, "I didn't see it."

The servant girl was so anxious that she almost cried, "Just now I took him to play in the living room, but I went back to the room to get some things, and when I turned around, Xiao Shizi disappeared, so I was so anxious."

"Xiao Shizi is still young, so he can't walk very far. You should look under the table and chairs, maybe he is hiding underneath."

The servant girl nodded, and took the boy's arm to walk inside, "Come and help me find it, if something happens to Xiao Shizi, it will be a disaster."

"Don't worry, maybe it's at the nanny's place."

Han Zixiao watched the maid and boy go in, with complicated emotions in his eyes, he turned to Ye Qing and Liu Hua and said, "Let's go."

Liu Hua looked at the sky, "Boss Han, it's getting late, I think it's better to rest in Rongcheng for the night."

Han Zixiao replied yes.

The two servant girls of the palace were looking for the young prince everywhere, first went to see the nanny, and asked a few more, but they said they didn't see it.The little maid was so anxious that she burst into tears, "What should I do? What if the little prince disappears?"

The little servant comforted: "Don't cry, let's look for it again."

At this time, the butler Song Bo just came over and saw the maid crying, so he asked, "Why are you crying like this?"

The little servant girl sniffed, choked up and said, "I, I lost sight of Xiao Shizi."

Uncle Song smiled, "The little prince is in the arms of the prince."

The little maid said, "Really?"

"I just saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake."

The little maid immediately put down a stone in her heart, wiped away her tears, and hurried to see Xiao Shizi.

Sure enough, Xiao Shizi and the prince were together, and the prince was sitting in the pavilion in the backyard holding Xiao Shizi.Xiao Shizi was eating a piece of pastry, Chu Muqing picked up the tea on the table, first took a sip to test the temperature, and then fed Chu Junyi a sip.

After Chu Junyi drank the tea, he stretched out his tender tongue and licked his mouth, then passed the cake on his hand to Chu Muqing's mouth, and said in a glutinous voice, "Paste King (Father King)...time (eat) ..."

The pastry in her little hand was drool-full, Chu Muqing held his little hand, "Father is not hungry, Yier eats."

At this time, the little servant girl came over and knelt down, "This servant has seen the prince."

Chu Muqing looked at the maid kneeling outside the pavilion, "What's the matter?"

The little maid raised her face, her eyes were red, "This servant is here to plead guilty to the prince."

"What crime please?"

The little servant girl lowered her head, "The servant girl didn't take care of the little prince well, and lost the little prince."

Chu Muqing said lightly: "Isn't it still in my king's hands?"

While Chu Muqing was speaking, Chu Junyi's little hand was restlessly grabbing the tea on the table. Just as the little hand touched it, a cup of tea fell down with a snap, and the splashed tea wet Chu Junyi's sleeves and Chu Muqing's clothes.

Chu Muqing frowned and looked at Chu Junyi. Chu Junyi hid her little hands and pursed her lips like I was wrong.Seeing his appearance, Chu Muqing lost all temper. She was just glad that the cup of tea was warm, not hot.

The maid next to him immediately presented the silk handkerchief. Chu Muqing wiped Chu Junyi's hands first, picked him up, and said to the maid who was kneeling on the ground, "Why are you still kneeling? Hurry up and take Xiao Shizi to change clothes."

The little maid raised her head, and the prince didn't seem to want to blame him, and immediately got up, "I'm going now, servant." Carefully, she went to pick up the little prince and went back to the room to change clothes.

Chu Muqing also went back to the dormitory to change clothes, and glanced at the brocade box on the high table, which contained a Hetian white jade hairpin. She didn't bring many things from the capital, and she didn't bring expensive antiques, but she did bring this A hairpin.

Chu Muqing opened the brocade box, and the Hetian white jade hairpin inside had a warm luster, and it was cool to hold in his hand. The scene when Han Zixiao gave this jade hairpin to him was still fresh in his memory. He smiled and said, Naturally, the prince's gift cannot be shabby.

The Hetian jade hairpin was put back into the brocade box and closed.Chu Muqing walked behind the screen, changed her clothes and left the room.

On the second day, Chu Muqing led Chu Junyi to learn to walk in the yard.Tie Feng came to report that the carriage was ready, and Chu Muqing handed Chu Junyi to the maid. Chu Junyi probably knew that he was going out, so she pulled his sleeves reluctantly with her two little hands, and said with a flat mouth, "(Father) Wang... ..."

Chu Muqing stroked his head, "Yi'er is obediently waiting for the father to come back at the mansion." Her tone was very gentle.

The flat-mouthed little guy looked at Chu Muqing and let go of his little hand.

Chu Muqing was going to inspect the brocade department before going out. The brocade department was a place specially set up to make Shu brocade.Before he came to Bashu, the output of Shu brocade was extremely low, and most of them were selected and paid tribute to the palace, and the rest were sent to the houses of corrupt officials.

Chu Muqing was named the queen of Shu, and ordered people to build a brocade office, specializing in the production of Shu brocade.Part of the Shu brocade produced by the brocade department was paid as tribute to the imperial palace, and the rest was exported, so some silk shops in the Bashu area could also buy Shu brocade.

The brocade office was half an hour away from the palace, and Chu Muqing went out with only two guards and a groom.

Han Zixiao stayed in the inn in Rongcheng for one night yesterday, had breakfast in the morning, and then went to visit the nearby Qingcheng Mountain after listening to Liu Hua's words.

The weather was hot, so Han Zixiao bought a paper fan from a stall selling calligraphy and paintings on the street.Wearing a snow-white gown, coupled with that paper fan painted with green bamboos, others would think it was some idle and romantic young man.

While walking, Han Zixiao suddenly stopped, staring at the front in a daze.A carriage drove up ahead, passers-by gave way one after another, Ye Qing pulled Han Zixiao and said: "Young master, what are you doing in a daze, it's dangerous."

Han Zixiao still didn't move, watching the carriage get closer and closer.He couldn't see the people in the carriage, but he recognized the guard on the horse beside the carriage. The guard's name was Tie Feng.
