I was a prince in ancient times

"It should be the princess of Snow Country." Lu Chengjiao pondered for a moment, then said softly.

Several princesses nodded in unison.

Xie Anlan suddenly remembered this famous person, and frowned, "She is getting married, with whom?"

After returning from Chunsou, Xie Anlan completely forgot about this person, but she was stung like that by a bee, and she really lived up to the name of this pig.

"Guess." Xie Guanchao smiled mysteriously.

Xie Anlan's eyes darkened, "Don't guess, just marry me."

"Brother Huang will not let her marry you." Xie Guanchao waved his hand, seeing Xie Anlan's surprised expression, felt a little bored.

"Then it has nothing to do with me." Xie Anlan's eyes relaxed, as long as she didn't marry herself, she could marry anyone she wanted.

The third prince Xie Yunyuan smiled softly, "I'm afraid she didn't expect that her father would do everything possible to send her to the Yong Dynasty, but in the end he would choose such a bad husband-in-law for her."

A faint smile flashed across the faces of the princesses.

"It's also the first time I've discovered that it's good to have an ugly name." The fifth princess grinned at Xie Guanchao with her slightly round belly.

Now that she is pregnant, she has gained a lot of weight, and her round face that had been thinned out has bulged up again, and her eyes are curved when she smiles, making her look very cute.

Xie Guanchao glanced at his face uncomfortably, stuck his neck and said in disbelief, "It's not that I have a bad name, it's that the king of the Snow Kingdom doesn't know people. Our Yong Dynasty favors water, so there is water in the name. He himself thinks that water is evil for them in the Snow Kingdom." , Pick a county king without water, how can you blame me for getting an ugly name."

Fifth Princess kicked Xie Guanchao's leg, narrowed her crooked eyes, "Could it be that you still want to take that Snow Country Princess."

"No, I'm just talking about the name." Xie Guanchao had already stepped away when the fifth princess was moving, causing the fifth princess to rush into space, and her cheeks swelled with anger.

In other words, Xie Anlan said that she really didn't intend not to invite a few brothers into the mansion, and several of them have already stepped into the Chenwang mansion.

Talking and laughing on the way, he who had no curiosity at first was fully interested by several people.

"What to do, I'm a little curious about who she is going to marry." Xie Anlan asked Lu Chengjie who was beside her.

Lu Chengjie nodded, "I'm curious too."

Both of them have been a little busy recently, and they have a deep relationship, and the servants are also sensible, so they don't pass the news that damages the relationship between the two to their ears, causing them to be blocked from this news.

After Lu Chengjie had no objection, Xie Anlan cast a curious look at the three brothers.

Without waiting for the three elder brothers to speak, the third concubine said first, "She is going to marry a son of heaven, and a son of heaven with a pig's head is a perfect match."

"Third sister-in-law's mouth is absolutely perfect." Xie Guanchao laughed to the people around him in a low voice after listening to the description of the third concubine.

A few people came to the gazebo of Prince Chen's mansion, and some servants had already made hot tea with great color, and served tea to the princes and concubines.

Xie Anlan raised his hand and interrupted the servants who were serving tea to the princesses, "There is no need to serve tea to the princesses, go and heat up some sour fruit tea."

After hearing this, the servants paused and went down with the teapot in their arms.

When the princesses heard the word "sour fruit", the back of their teeth suddenly felt sour, and their faces were slightly bitter, "Seventh brother, let's skip this sour fruit tea, we don't miss three cups of tea every day at home."

The concubines were really suffering and couldn't tell. They were sick a few days ago, and they always wanted to drink something sour.

Xie Anlan brought them sour fruit and they were naturally happy.

But once the embarrassment is over, drinking this sour fruit tea again, I feel sour and bitter, hard to swallow, but Xie Anlan told me that three cups a day is good for the fetus in the womb, even the imperial doctor said so, They had to pinch their noses to admit it.

Three cups a day is enough for them to suffer, and if they drink it after they come to the Prince Chen's Mansion, they will feel sour when they go back.

Xie Anlan smiled slightly, gently pinched the back of Lu Chengjiao's hand under the table, and asked the servants to remove the sour fruit tea and replace it with hot water, and the complexions of the princesses gradually improved.

Of course, Lu Chengjia understood what Xie Anlan meant, and he glanced at the bathing pool outside the gazebo, not daring to look directly at the people in the courtyard.

"Who is the son of Tianjiao according to the third sister-in-law?" Xie Anlan picked up the teacup, blew the heat on the water, and asked again.

"This person..." Xie Yunyuan put it off on purpose, "This person is an old acquaintance with Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother might as well guess who it is."

Emperor Can and Xie Anlan are old acquaintances, and there are not many honorable people. Xie Anlan flipped through his memory, combined with the three princesses who said he was the son of arrogance, and finally fixed on a slightly distorted face, and blurted out, "Thank you Huarong."

"It's not him." Xie Guanchao didn't expect Xie Anlan to guess it all at once, so he nodded and admitted.

"How did you choose him?" Xie Anlan frowned slightly. He still remembered the rumor about Xie Huarong's foster room last year.

"It's because of his nice name, and he is also the only county king in the imperial capital who doesn't have a real wife." Xie Guangchi warmed up the four princesses of his family carefully, and said slowly, "The king of the Snow Kingdom is pulling with our envoy. After more than half a year, seeing that I couldn't marry you, I finally chose him from a list drawn up by a bunch of envoys."

Xie Guanchao also nodded straightly, "I also asked the envoy specifically, and I heard that the king of the Snow Kingdom said that when he saw Xie Huarong's name, he said that the name was good and he was lucky."

"He's the tallest of the short ones." Xie Yunyuan said persuasively, "If you can't marry the seventh brother, the alliance has to be formed, and he is the only one who is not married in the imperial capital. If you don't choose him, whoever you choose, As for the name, it's just an excuse for myself to find myself."

Xie Anlan also felt that Xie Yunyuan's words were reasonable, remembering Xie Huarong's excitement when Xueling first entered the imperial capital, she couldn't help laughing, "Now he has got his wish, when is the wedding date, I will give him Send a congratulatory gift."

The third concubine burst out laughing when she heard the words "get your wish fulfilled", almost knocked over the teacup, and smiled tremblingly on Xie Yunyuan's body, "What is he getting his wish fulfilled? If there is no such thing as Chunsou, I'm afraid there is still some sincerity in this meeting, but it's a pity that since the spring search incident, he received the news, his face changed drastically on the spot, and he was making trouble in the mansion."

The third prince's mansion is not far from Xie Huarong's mansion, and any troubles in the two mansions can be heard clearly. During the period of the third princess's pregnancy, she often stood under the wall, listening to the servants of the two mansions to gossip.

Xie Anlan clicked her tongue, "Why don't you want to? He was the most considerate back then. Now it's not good to give him a chance to return with a beauty."

"Hahaha, she's still a beauty, and she's going home with her head in her arms." The third concubine always had a smile on her mouth when she mentioned Xueling.

During the spring search, most of the nobles went there, and many people watched Xue Ling being bitten into that strong-looking man. Even though she was cured now and her appearance was restored, her ugly appearance had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It's hard to see her not thinking about it.

In addition, Xie Huarong's spirit is high enough, if he wants to marry Xueling, he will definitely provoke ridicule from the nobles of the whole empire, and he must not be happy in his heart.

"Then there's nothing I can do if I don't agree. The king of the Xue Kingdom has named him by name. He can still challenge the king of a country." Xie Anlan spread his hands.

"No, in the end I still have to hold my nose and admit it. Who made him spend a lot of time every day, always cheating outside and refusing to take a wife, this time he will be punished." The fifth princess almost wanted to clap her hands and applaud.

One of these two likes to hook up with each other, and the other likes to attract bees and attract butterflies. They are simply a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven.

Xie Anlan smiled lightly, thinking in her heart that the country still needs to be strengthened, if today's Yongchao is not strong, it will be Yongchao who holds his nose and admits defeat.

At the time of the introduction, no matter how much Xie Cangming favored him, it was useless. When it comes to matters between countries, it cannot be easily resolved by crying, making trouble and hanging himself.

After seeing off several princes and concubines, Xie Anlan asked the servants to pick out a bunch of flashy gifts from the storeroom in the mansion, and put them on the name of Prince Chen's Mansion, and planned to send them to Xie Huarong grandly on the day of his marriage.

It is good to thank him for "sacrificing his life" for the country.

In the palace, Xue Ling's appearance and figure had returned to normal after half a year of cultivation, but she still didn't dare to look in the mirror, and she didn't dare to step out of the bedroom.

She was afraid of the sunshine outside, and she was even more afraid of gossip about her outside, so she shut herself in the bedroom all day long, shutting herself out.

Don't let people go out to inquire about the news.

I want to completely remove my image from the embarrassing incident of Chunsou that day.

So much so that she didn't even know that she was about to get married.

In the end, the queen saw that the wedding was approaching, so she sent someone to inform her, and by the way, sent her a lot of cloth for sewing wedding dresses for her to choose.

"I'm getting married, marrying Prince Chen?"

Xueling hugged her legs and looked at the bundles of red cloth in front of her, and asked belatedly.

"Eh..." The maid Ning Dong looked distressed, and finally said vaguely, "The princess will marry the one appointed by the monarch himself."

Xue Ling was relieved when she heard the appointed person, except for Prince Chen, her father would not appoint anyone else, so the one she wanted to marry would naturally be Prince Chen.

It has been a year since she came to Yongchao, among the nobles in Yongchao, there is no reliable person except the emperor and the king of Chen.

And the emperor already has a queen, so it is absolutely impossible for her, the princess of a neighboring country, to conceive in the future, and even think about that position.

Then only the King Chen is left, and the father said that the Yong Dynasty can have today because of the King Chen.

And there is only one male concubine who cannot conceive in the Prince Chen's mansion. As long as she can win the favor of the Prince Chen and give birth to an heir for him, the Prince Chen will definitely pass on all his whimsical ideas to this child in the future.

After the child completes his studies, he will use the knowledge he has learned to bring back the Snow Country with the financial resources of the Prince Chen Manor. The strength of the Snow Country is just around the corner.

Even if the child can't make Prince Chen soft-hearted, it is easier for her to inquire about some secrets of Prince Chen's mansion in Chen Prince's mansion.

So Xueling has always been not like the princess of the grassland department who deliberately wanted to harm people, but wanted to get close to the king.

However, she has been self-defeating every time, and the last spring search made her lose face even more.

Fortunately, all of this has passed, and now she can finally marry into Prince Chen's mansion as she wished. As for Prince Chen's indifference towards her, she is not too worried. Not any more handy than being outside.

With such belief in mind, Xue Ling finally temporarily forgot those bad memories, and braced herself to prepare for her wedding.

She did everything from the wedding dress to the dowry by herself, and finally finished everything on the day before the wedding.

On the day of the wedding, I got up early, spent a long time with the maid, put on a beautiful makeup, put on the red wedding dress, put on the hijab, and waited for the wedding with peace of mind.

Xue Ling didn't know the marriage rules of the Yong Dynasty very well. Although the Ministry of Rituals specially sent someone to teach them before the marriage, Xue Ling still learned a little about it, and could only salute with the voice of the singer, and was finally sent to the bridal chamber in a daze.

The bridal chamber was silent, and there was no one else except the maid he had brought.

At this time, she slowly figured it out, today's wedding between her and Prince Chen, the male concubine Chen did not come out to make trouble.

But it seems that today's Chen Wang seems to be cooperating very smoothly.

Could it be that during her six months of retreat, her father put pressure on Yongchao, making them all accept her.

Or is it that the Prince Chen is already tired of Princess Chen.

The news has been blocked for more than half a year, and now she is in the bridal chamber again, Xue Ling did not rush to ask the maid, everything will be revealed after tonight.

Xueling waited and waited, until finally the bridegroom officer arrived late.

With all her heart raised to her throat, through the gap in the hijab, Xue Ling could see the groom's footsteps, slowly approaching.

He wasn't too polite, he just tore off Xue Ling's hijab when he came forward.

Xue Ling raised her head in surprise, she remembered that the ritual officer had mentioned the steps to remove the hijab, but it seemed that this was not the case.

As soon as she looked up, she was dumbfounded.

The person in front of her was not Chen Wang Xie Anlan at all, but the Prince of Hejian County Xie Huarong who had received her when she first came to Yongchao!

"How could it be you!" Xue Ling was shocked at that moment.

Xie Huarong hiccupped, blushed, tried to open his eyes, and said disdainfully, "It's not me, who do you think it is."

"The person I want to marry is not you." Xue Ling frowned, feeling vaguely that something was wrong.

Xie Huarong was not annoyed when he heard this, and said unhurriedly, "You think I want to marry you, but it's not your father who is the emperor. If you insist on pointing you out to me, I won't do it if I don't marry you."

"No... Impossible!" Xue Ling's eyes widened. When she set off from Snow Country, her father's words to her were still vivid in her memory. How could her father change her mind after so long.

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Xie Huarong curled her lips, "Whether you believe it or not, anyway, everyone knows what your father told you to me. Now that the ceremony is done and the hijab is taken off, I also You can go back to sleep."

It was also rare for Xie Huarong to explain to Xue Ling that even though Xue Ling looked good now, Chunsou's appearance of being bitten like a bear still lingered in his head, no matter what the face in front of him was. He is so overwhelmed by the country and the city, he can't even say it now.

"Little Six, help me go to Mrs. Ru's place to rest." Xie Hua Ronghao didn't give Xue Ling face, and in front of her, he was going to the concubine's wife he had taken earlier.

Xiao Liuzi glanced at the still-shocked Princess Hejian, then at the Prince, and finally chose to help the Prince to Mrs. Ru's place.

Xueling sat in the new room, her whole body was in a bad state, tremblingly looked at Ningdong beside her, and asked, "What's going on?"

Ningdong had no choice but to tell the truth.

"So, father gave up on me?" After hearing this, Xue Ling clutched her blood-red wedding gown, and looked at Ning Dong with flushed eyes.

Ning Dong swallowed her saliva, "It's not considered giving up. Princess, we came to Yongchao for the purpose of marriage. Since it is a marriage, whoever we marry is not married."

"A county king and a prince, you tell me who to marry is not to marry." Xue Ling's eyes were red, and she wanted to eat her.

How could the gap between Prince Chen and Prince Hejian be the same?

Besides, if it wasn't for what her father said to her, she shouldn't have come to this marriage. Now that she has put herself in it, she has married a county king who is nothing.

The palm of Xue Ling's hand holding the wedding dress was cut by her fingernails, and the blood seeped onto the blood-red wedding dress, no one could see it.

Xie Huarong got married, Xie Anlan didn't go to drink, but accompanied Lu Chengjiao to meet the businessmen of Chu State.

Chudi is rich in food, and some crops can be harvested twice or even three times a year. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the granary of the world.

Most of the merchants who came to the Yong Dynasty were grain merchants, and their geographical location was not much different from that of the Yong Dynasty. Unlike the other countries that each had their own disadvantages, this business was not easy to discuss.

"Boss Lu wants to buy cane sugar from our Chu land, it's no problem, as long as Boss Lu can afford the price." A businessman from Chu country travels between several countries all year round to do grain business, and he is not short of money. Faced with the olive branch dug out by Lu Chengjie Not excited.

"Do you think Lu looks like a person who can't afford the price?" Lu Chengjia had already guessed that there was a tough battle to be fought today, and his momentum was not impressive.

Of course the businessmen in Chu State knew that Lu Chengke was not short of money, but they were just weighing in their hearts whether to do business with him or not.

After all, it takes time and effort to go back and forth between the two countries. Regardless of the lightness of sucrose, the distance between them is long, and Chu is in summer all year round, so it is extremely difficult to store it.

"How does Boss Lu want to cooperate?"

After pondering for a while in the room, some people still decided to listen to the conditions. Anyway, the decision is in their hands, and they will decide whether to agree or not after listening.

"Since I have hired several bosses, this business is not a small business. I will accept as much sugar as the bosses can buy." Lu Chengjie raised his eyebrows and said quite grandly.

"Boss Lu speaks loudly. Our country of Chu has a lot of land. Are you sure you can eat such a large amount?" Several bosses glanced at Lu Chengjiao, feeling that he was talking nonsense.

Sugarcane can be planted in two seasons a year in their Chu country, divided into autumn and winter. Moreover, sugar is a necessity in people's life, and there are not a few people who grow it.

Lu Chengjiao just opened his mouth and accepted all the orders, could he afford it?

"If Lu can say this, he will naturally accept it. It depends on whether the bosses dare to accept Lu's order." Lu Chengjie waved Xie Anlan's fan, looking calm, In fact, I was sweating in my heart.

Before coming here, he also inquired that the sugarcane production in Chu State is not low, and the price of sugar is not low. If such a large amount is required at a time, the money of the Prince Chen's Mansion may not be enough to pay.

But then again, how could they willingly give up growing grain and grow sugar cane if they didn't have a one-time sweet treat.

So the money has to be spent.

Under the table, Xie Anlan held Lu Chengjiao's other hand in his hand, and used his fingertips to wipe away the sweat from his palm to make him feel at ease.

Several bosses exchanged glances with each other, and reported a shocking number to Lu Chengjie, "Does Boss Lu think there is no problem with such a large amount?"

Lu Chengjiao's palms trembled. This number was five times higher than what he had estimated before, and it was simply not something that Chenwang Mansion could afford now.

He pursed his lips imperceptibly, thinking about countermeasures in his heart.

Xie Anlan patted the back of his hand and said for him, "Of course it's no problem, even if it's ten times more, our Chenwang Mansion can afford it."

"Can you be the master of the Chen Palace?" Seeing Xie Anlan's extraordinary demeanor, several people had already guessed his identity in their hearts.

"Of course I can't be the master of the Chen Palace." Xie Anlan immediately denied, "But I can still be the master of this business."

The few businessmen frowned, has the Prince Chen's Mansion grown to this extent now?

"Why, the bosses are afraid they won't be able to eat." Xie Anlan narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw the frowns.

"Of course I can eat it..." Several Chu merchants exchanged glances again. With such a large amount, the profit in it is naturally a sky-high price, which is much more than they earn from selling grain.

The only problem left is transportation.

Chu State does not have the cement of the Yong Dynasty, and the roads are rough. What's more, Chu State is almost in the scorching sun all year round. How to transport the sucrose intact under such an environment.

Sugar is different from grain, and it cannot withstand a little moisture. No matter how tightly it is wrapped in earthen jars and oiled paper, as long as it is exposed to high temperature for a long time, it will still turn into syrup. After turning into syrup, the transportation will undoubtedly become easier. difficulty.

If there is too much delay in transportation, it is meaningless to earn money.

Several bosses were whispering, some thought it was worth a try, and some thought the shipping cost was too high and not worth it.

Xie Anlan heard a few words quietly, and pretended to discuss with Lu Chengjie and the two, coughed lightly, and drew everyone's attention to him, and said in a low voice, "Since the transportation of finished sugar is difficult, why not?" It’s better to ship the sugar cane directly.”

"Um……"

After hearing this, several bosses were shocked. The normal shelf life of sugarcane is as long as two to three months, which is enough time for them to transport sugarcane from Chudi to Yongchao.

"This is indeed a solution." Several bosses nodded and agreed with the proposal.

"But since what we want is not finished sugar, but unprocessed sugar cane, shouldn't the bosses make concessions in terms of the price?" Xie Anlan threw out another sentence without haste.

After all, the semi-finished products and finished products are still different, and you can't buy semi-finished products at the price of finished products, and no one is being taken advantage of.

The bosses frowned. It was true to say so, but the profit from the finished product to the semi-finished product would also drop several degrees, and the money earned would also be discounted a lot.

Several bosses are counting again.

After all, the transportation of sugar cane is not easy. It is heavy and takes up space, but it is relatively less troublesome than sugar.

But the amount Lu Chengjie wanted was huge, even if the money in it had shrunk by [-] to [-]%, there was still a lot of money to be made.

After discussing with several people, they finally nodded and were willing to take over this huge business.

In the middle of the night, the Hejian County Prince's Mansion was having a wedding, and Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjiao accompanied the bosses to hammer out the contract agreement all night.

After all aspects were negotiated, it was late at night, and it was autumn at this time, and there was a cool breeze blowing outside the restaurant.

This time the two did not choose Donglai Restaurant, but chose a restaurant not far from Chenwang Mansion. Except for a few personal guards, the carriage was not pulled. As soon as he blew, his head cleared up. He took Lu Chengjiao's hand and touched it. It was cold and cold. He wanted to take off his coat and put it on with him.

"You gave me the clothes, what do you do?" Lu Chengjie stopped him in time.

On this day, it was not cold during the day, and the two of them came out during the day, wearing not very thick clothes, but the temperature suddenly dropped at night.

"It's okay, it's only two steps left and right, it won't freeze me." Xie Anlan continued to undress indifferently.

"You said two steps away, I can walk back by myself." Lu Chengjiao put it on for him stubbornly again.

The two pushed back and forth, neither letting the other. In the end, Lu Chengjiao spread his hands, "I have a method that can keep you from taking off your clothes and also keep me warm. Do you want to try it?"

"What..." Xie Anlan was in a daze when she saw Lu Chengjiao bowing slightly in front of him,

"Come up, I'll carry you."
