Chapter 191 Musky Offense
The queen was unable to resist Cui Zimin, and finally had to marry the little princess to the son of another duke.
There are three dukes in Daliang, but today, they are all on a downward trend, their descendants are not promising, and those who are promising are not willing to marry princesses.
Cui Zimin finally came out of the temple late. Fortunately, the elder of Cui family helped to cover up and apologize for the delay in court affairs these days. The emperor demoted him and transferred him from the Ministry of Rites to the Dali Temple.
Zhou Qinghe has always been lukewarm in the court. Zhao Fangyu has been doing very well in the flower business in Nanzhao. Now he has produced a batch of flowers. After some operations, they are transformed into a new look and brought into the Central Plains by foreign merchant caravans.
The first family to discover the incident was the Yang family, and the first family to contact Zhao Fangyu was also the Yang family.
"It doesn't matter. It's said that it's refined with Nanzhao's secret method. Each bottle requires dozens of kilograms of fresh flowers. One bottle costs her 25 taels. No matter how much, the lowest price cannot be lower than this."
This price was calculated by Zhao Fangyu. The local flowers in Nanzhao are not expensive. If you plant some quick-growing flowers, you can have a harvest in three to five months. They are perfect for making incense.
What is expensive is the cost of changing the appearance back and forth, as well as the travel expenses after entering the Central Plains. All in all, the cost of a bottle of perfume will soar to at least eight taels.
I originally wanted to sell it for thirty taels, but this number was more suitable for Yang Xiaofei, so I gave her twenty-five.
Su Re nodded and spread the news.
The caravan also made some money from the flower soaps they bought, and they also bought a lot of cheap gems. As long as they arrived in Quanzhou, they would make a lot of money.
Yang Xiaofei coveted the business of the Fourteen States, and the Third Prince coveted the silver in her hands. Now that she had such a flaw delivered to her doorstep, they were very happy.
However, two days later, Zhao Fangyu received a reply letter. The caravan had just entered the Central Plains from Nanzhao and arrived in Fuzhou. After selling just a few bottles of perfumed dew, they were contacted by people from the Yang family. It was obvious that the Yang family had also written to the capital like them, and not only took away all their goods, but also placed an order for another batch of perfumed dew from them.
They sold them individually, with the asking price of one bottle being eighty-eight taels, and they sold them for fifty taels. They sold them in large quantities to the Yang family, at forty taels per bottle.
Because the scent of the perfume they sold was not even available in Beijing, Yang Xiaofei was so generous and bought hundreds of bottles of perfume in one go.
"The Third Princess secretly sold a shop that came with her as a dowry."
The Yang family's business had long been targeted by Zhao Fangyu and the eldest lady, and their business had been unable to make ends meet, and they had been living off their capital.
Yang Xiaofei didn't have much cash in her dowry, most of it was shops and farms. These hundreds of bottles of perfumed dew would cost at least 40,000 taels. How could she afford them all?
One shop is not enough, I'm afraid the third prince will also pay for it.
"It doesn't matter. Hundreds of bottles of scented dew can be produced in a month in Nanzhao. If she wants to be a resentful person, she can just do it."
However, Yang Xiaofei was even more unscrupulous than Zhao Fangyu thought. She sold a bottle of perfumed dew for over a hundred taels. This price really discouraged many people, but there were also some people who were rich enough to buy it.
During the days when she was making money, Yang Xiaofei walked with the wind, and even the Third Prince had more smiles on his face.
Zhou Qinghe and Zhao Fangyu just watched and did nothing.
Soon, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, and Zhao Fangyu followed Zhou Qinghe.
At the banquet, the queen looked haggard, and the two princesses sat near Zhou Qinghe, one of them had slightly red eyes.
Zhao Fangyu looked at it and guessed that the one who would be chosen to marry was the older princess.
The eunuch's shrill voice came: "The envoy of the Sheli Kingdom is here to see you!"
A man and a woman walked in front, followed by five envoys from the Sheli Kingdom.
Both men and women were dressed in the clothes of the Muskli Kingdom. The extremely bright colors and the completely different attire made them incompatible with the people of Daliang around them.
The people of Musk Li are naturally arrogant, as if they look down on the people of Daliang. They wish their eyes were growing on top of their heads. The prince of Musk Li saw Zhao Fangyu in the crowd.
Seeing her with her hair combed like a woman, he looked even more excited, until he saw Zhou Qinghe sitting next to her in royal attire, then his eyes revealed a bit of regret.
Such a burning look made Zhao Fangyu feel a chill. It was sticky, cold, and carried an uncomfortable, obscene and evil aura.
Not only Zhao Fangyu, all the female members in the palace were bad looking. Prince Sheli looked at many of them with extreme offensiveness, and the brave ones even rolled their eyes.
The prince of Muskli Kingdom was even more excited!
Their badness was extremely obvious, and the more obvious the Daliang people's disgust for them was, the more excited they became. This badness had nothing to do with gender, and everyone in the Musk Li Kingdom was laughing excitedly because their eyes easily stirred up the emotions of the Daliang people.
Zhao Fangyu watched the princess, whose eyes were slightly red, shedding tears. Even the queen clenched her fists quietly.
The people of Sheli were very enthusiastic and saluted the emperor loudly. Then they asked, "My Sheli country has made an agreement with the Emperor of Daliang. We want to establish a friendly relationship with Daliang."
"We in the Musky Kingdom will not let you suffer any loss. If you give us a princess, we will give you a princess too."
As he spoke, the prince of Sheli Kingdom reached out and gently pushed the woman from behind. The woman took a step forward, half-knelt on the ground, and said in a clear voice: "Sana from Sheli Kingdom greets the Emperor of Daliang."
Sana is the princess of the Musky Kingdom. Zhao Fangyu only felt endless absurdity in the descriptions of the Musky Prince and the Musky envoys.
Princess Sana is one of King Muskli's many daughters. She is said to be the most dazzling flower on the grassland and the proudest pearl in King Muskli's crown.
Zhao Fangyu looked again and again at the five-member delegation behind Prince Sheli, but in the end his eyes did not go beyond the prince who was said to be hidden in the delegation.
The five people who followed all looked elderly, and it was impossible to tell the difference between them just by looking at their appearance.
No matter how powerful King Sheli was, he could not give birth to a son of his own age.
The one who was staring at Zhao Fangyu just now was the twelfth prince of the Sheli Kingdom, Sheli Seji.
"I see that the women of Daliang are all extremely beautiful, and they are different from the women on our grasslands. I wonder which princess the Emperor of Daliang gave up?"
"Although we haven't held a ceremony, we can already be considered husband and wife. Shouldn't we come out and see each other?"
Zhao Fangyu sat on the side, watching this Muskliserji look lustfully at the women around him, and his eyes finally fell on the two princesses.
Zhao Fangyu had received modern education and was considered one of the boldest girls. Yet she still could not accept Muskliserji's scrutiny, let alone the two princesses who grew up in an obedient manner.
The emperor did not stop it. From the moment he decided to sacrifice a princess, the princess's dignity was gone.
No one helped her, everyone was waiting for the princess to walk out of the crowd, or someone felt something was wrong, but in the end no one stopped her.
Zhao Fangyu saw with his own eyes that the princess pinched herself hard to force back her tears, then she patted her sister's hand soothingly and stood up from her seat.
