"You know?" Qi Lie was surprised.
Of course, his main purpose of coming here for "peace talks" was not the main purpose. One of the main purposes was to find the Crown Prince of Northern Frontier. He had escaped from Northern Frontier in the first place, otherwise he would be the crown prince by right now.
The old Emperor of Northern Frontier is still looking for a crown prince, and even wants his son to be the crown prince, even though he is obviously better than the crown prince of Northern Frontier.
He also has the blood of the Northern Frontier royal family in his body, why can't it be him, why can't it be him.
He has the blood of two royal families. From this point of view, he has the most noble bloodline. No matter which side the bloodline comes from, it is the best and no one else can compare to it.
"There are some traces, second brother. You know, there are some things that you may not be able to find out. I am a woman, so I can find traces from a woman's perspective." Qiya said proudly.
Prince Qi Lie felt depressed, he had thought of this originally, that's why he sent Tong Yuzhen to the capital first, the purpose was to use Pei Yuanjun's influence to break into the circle of noble ladies in the capital. If he couldn't break in, he should at least build good relationships with some women from aristocratic families.
Tong Yuzhen's current condition meant that she could not meet those noble ladies from aristocratic families openly. The incident at the Jingguo Mansion happened not long ago, and many people in the capital knew her. However, if she could take advantage of Pei Yuanjun's influence and cover her face, she could still get the noble ladies to make friends with her on their own initiative.
The premise is that Tong Yuzhen can win Pei Yuanjun's favor.
Prince Qi Lie was unsure about this, but it was just a casual move of his. His most important chess piece was Madam Liu. Although Madam Liu had some problems before, she had gotten much better recently and her health was almost recovered. It would be best to let her help with the noble lady at this time.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu got into trouble again, and now not only can she not provide help to me, but she also wants to seek help from me.
Prince Qilie was angry and anxious.
Whether Tong Yuzhen is with Pei Yuanjun or not, at least he can't find her now. It is very likely, but it is of no help to him now.
"Second brother, I really knew some traces of my eldest sister before. Do you know what the noble ladies in Northern Xinjiang like to do the most? Even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, my eldest sister's habits cannot be changed." Qiya said proudly.
"What does she like to do most?" Prince Qi Lie asked in a deep voice. He really hadn't noticed this.
"Second brother, I want to marry the King of England." Princess Qia began to negotiate the terms.
"The identity of the Queen of England has changed." Prince Qi Lie hesitated again.
"Second brother, you are going to be the emperor of Northern Frontier in the future. Why are you so indecisive? Even a woman like me thinks this is appropriate, and I took the initiative myself. Even if there is anything, it has nothing to do with you in the future. But if it succeeds, it will be a great thing for you... It will help the Great Zhou Kingdom and its future..."
Princess Qiya knew what her brother wanted. In fact, it was not just him but also her own father. How could she be willing to live in the Northern Frontier for so many years? Neither would she be willing to live like that.
"Have you really thought it through?" Prince Qi Lie gave in.
"I have thought it through. I know what I want to do. From now on, everything in the British palace will be mine." Princess Qia said confidently.
"Okay!" Prince Qilie no longer hesitated.
"Second brother, it won't change?" Princess Qia felt that she could ask more clearly.
"No change." Prince Qi Lie said, "I will have someone hint at the Great Zhou Dynasty about this matter. A marriage between the two countries is the best way to negotiate peace." A marriage has always been the most important scene in peace talks. Although he had hinted at it before, his main intention was to ask for marriage. He wanted to ask for the princess of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Now with the addition of Princess Qia's marriage, it can better express his sincerity.
When Princess Qiya came here, it was for the purpose of marriage, but she was favored and said she wanted to wait and see. Now that the purpose has been determined, Prince Qilie will naturally get the best for her.
The Princess of England? Since that woman was going to die, it was better for her to die early.
When Aunt Yang from Yueyi Pavilion heard that a distinguished guest had arrived, she hurriedly put down the account book in her hand.
The largest private room on the second floor was basically not used for entertaining guests in the past. This room has the best location and the largest space, and its design is different from the other rooms.
This private room was specially redecorated by Aunt Yang, originally just to provide a comfortable place for her master to come over.
However, the master didn't care. Since the private room was redecorated, the master had only come once. After that, he let Aunt Yang entertain the guests in this private room.
This private room was rarely used in the past. On the one hand, people outside basically didn't know about it. On the other hand, everyone knew that the owner of Yueyi Pavilion was the British princess. With the British palace behind it, no one would go to Yueyi Pavilion to show off their noble status.
Now there was someone who made it clear from the start that he had an unusual identity, and Aunt Yang also found it strange.
There were two maids guarding outside the door. They looked a little taller than the average maid and had slender figures. They looked different at first glance.
Seeing Aunt Yang coming, one maid reached out to stop her, while another went in to report.
After a while, the maid came out, nodded to her, and led her into the house.
In the middle of the room sat a gentle and beautiful woman, with four maids standing beside her. Judging from their appearance, they were indeed distinguished guests.
Aunt Yang hurriedly bowed her head and stepped forward to salute.
"Are you the manager of this shop?" Princess Qia looked Aunt Yang up and down and asked with a kind smile.
"That's right." Aunt Yang replied.
"If you have any nice brocades and ornaments here, please bring them here for our master to see." A maid standing beside her stepped forward and said.
"Miss, we have a lot of things in our shop. It may be inconvenient to bring them all here. Please tell us what you like and we will select some suitable ones from the shop and send them to you." Aunt Yang smiled. She couldn't guess who the young lady in front of her was. She looked like she should be a lady from a wealthy family, but she had never heard of such a lady.
She is called "Master" instead of "Miss", and she doesn't look like an ordinary lady. Could it be that her identity is truly extraordinary
"Our master likes the brocade from Jiangnan, and he wants the particularly colorful ones. I heard that the five-color brocade here is very good, and it is carefully selected from Jiangnan. Send some of it over. He also wants some jewelry from Jiangnan, which must be made by famous artists in Jiangnan. Our master doesn't want ordinary ones."
The maid raised her head and said.
"Only girls from Jiangnan?" Aunt Yang understood, but still asked one more question. There are girls who only like girls from Jiangnan, but not so thoroughly. Could it be that this girl is from Jiangnan
"Yes, as long as it's from Jiangnan. Jiangnan is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and the five-color brocade is even more popular." Qiya spoke slowly.
The noble ladies in the northern border area are proud to use things from the south of the Yangtze River. If their clothes are made of brocade from the south of the Yangtze River, they have to make a large piece of it. They would rather waste it than make a small piece. It doesn't matter if it's wasted, but at least people have to know how much material was wasted on the dress.
Jiangnan is a bit far from the northern border, and this kind of large material is even rarer. For the noble ladies in the northern border, this is simply a symbol of status.
As for embroidery, those from Jiangnan are also the best.
Even the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot compare to it.
The most important thing is that jewelry from Jiangnan is relatively rare, and even harder to get from Northern Xinjiang. Jewelry from Jiangnan is known for its delicacy. It is not easy to get all the way from Jiangnan to the capital, let alone to Northern Xinjiang!
Some noble ladies in the northern border therefore prefer embroidery from the south of the Yangtze River. The rarer the embroidery, the more it can show their status and the more they can be looked down upon.
Aunt Yang went outside the door and told the servant to quickly select it and send it over. She waited on the side. The person in front of her really looked like a noble lady, a noble lady from the Jiangnan area
It doesn't look quite like it.
The guys were quick and soon brought in a large pile of stuff, which was piled on the table. It was full of brocade and embroidery.
Princess Qiya really likes five-colored brocade. Although she had some when she was in the Northern Frontier, there were not many of them. They were really too rare. And this bright color was very much in line with the aesthetic taste of the noble ladies in the Northern Frontier. Whenever she had such clothes, she would wear them out to show off.
Now that there are so many of them placed in front of her, how could she not choose carefully
After she finished choosing, she realized that she had picked a lot, about ten times more than the average young lady from aristocratic family.
There aren't many orders in such large quantities.
"I heard that your private room is for entertaining distinguished guests?" A maid came to Aunt Yang and asked in a low voice. She was the maid who spoke on behalf of Princess Qia before, and she was obviously a personal maid.
Aunt Yang was a business person, so she knew that the second-in-command was not much worse than the real master. She did not dare to neglect him and said with a smile: "This private room was used to entertain distinguished guests in the past."
In fact, there weren't many of these so-called past times, and it was because when they came here they asked for a private room for VIP guests that the guys brought them here.
"Do you usually have many distinguished guests like our master?" the maid asked.
"It's okay!" Aunt Yang said vaguely.
"Our master loves things from the Jiangnan area, whether it's brocade or embroidery. Things from other places are just so-so. Do you have any guests here who have similar preferences to our master? Our master has a sister who married far away in the capital and we lost contact afterwards. It turns out that she also likes this kind of brocade, embroidery, and jewelry very much."
The maid picked up a small handkerchief, touched it in her hand, and her eyes flashed with some fondness. It can be seen that the maid's preference was also inherited from her master.
"Your master's sister?" Aunt Yang asked in surprise.
"Yes, our master's sister. Our master came to the capital by chance this time and wanted to meet this sister. I didn't expect that after not contacting her for many years, we can't contact her anymore." The maid sighed, and it seemed that there was something else going on, but she would not explain too much to Aunt Yang.
"Do you like these very much?" Aunt Yang pointed at the brocade on the table.
"I like it very much!" The maid said affirmatively, "She will definitely buy a large amount of brocade when she is in the capital. I heard that the five-color brocade sold in your shop is the best in the capital."
The maid said affirmatively, which shows that she had already inquired before coming...
