DAY 1634 The Passionate Princess(2/2)
"Mr. Li, our big boss gave you a new house. You can go there in the future. No. 20 Huating Street. This place used to be our big boss's annex. From now on, Mr. Li, when you go to the Imperial Capital
You can go there when the time comes. It is much more convenient than staying in a hotel, and it is also much safer." A steward who followed Li Cong said, this Huating Street is not an ordinary place, the people who live here
They are all dignitaries of the imperial capital. All the people living around here are nobles. At first, this area can be said to be an aristocratic area. Look at all the people living in deep houses and courtyards. Where are the small families and small households? There are also Lis on the road.
The cavalry with bright armor were rarely seen, and the patrols were all on horseback. Is this a joke? When he arrived at the place, Li Cong knew what kind of house Her Royal Highness the Princess had given him. This house was
It is bigger than my house in Kahuan County. You must know that this is the imperial capital. The land prices here are definitely not comparable to places like Kahuan County. Everything here is much more expensive than over there.
Times, this house was visually inspected by Li Cong. According to the land price in the imperial capital, it is absolutely impossible to buy this land without one million gold coins, not this house, but the most important thing is that this place cannot be bought with money.
If you come in, it is impossible to sell it to you if you don't have aristocratic status. The land here is not private, it all belongs to the royal family. Only the royal family or some relatives of the Queen Mother can live here.
Just take a look at Li Cong's neighbors. To his left is a majestic Duke's Palace, and to his right is a County Prince's Palace. Although this County Prince's Palace is not very powerful, it can be said that it is the best among so many palaces.
The bottom one, otherwise he might be closer to the palace, but after all, he is also the highest-ranking noble in the empire. No matter how bad a prince is, he still belongs to the prince when he walks on the street. You are awesome, your
The title is just like a duke. If you dare to see the prince not kneeling down to salute, you will be immediately troubled by the imperial censor. If you don't like the prince, you don't like the entire royal family.
The royal family will find trouble with you for the sake of their dignity, and such things happen quite often.
The steward led Li Cong inside. The most luxurious courtyard Li Cong had ever seen in the world was the city lord's mansion in Kahuan County, but that courtyard was far inferior to this courtyard.
Even the shoes can't keep up. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about the first hall after entering. A piece of wood here can hold up the entire house over there. It is made of purple wood from the mountains.
Such wood cannot be used immediately after it is cut. It must be stored for nearly ten years before it can be used. During these ten years, a lot of things have to be used to carve the wood. The current hardness of the wood is
But it's very powerful. If someone wants to use a bow and arrow to attack the people inside the house, the bow and arrow really can't get in, and will be directly blocked by the wood. For this reason, the purple wood becomes
It is the most desired thing for the families of nobles and powerful people. It would be good for some small nobles to get some. Generally speaking, they will use it to make carriages and so on. After all, where is the most vulnerable place to be attacked? There are very few people.
They will use this to build a house, because they don't have the financial resources at all. Li Congting, the manager, said that the purple wood alone can cost 200,000 gold coins, and it is built with some other precious materials.
Another 200,000 gold coins. A house of less than 200 square meters actually costs 400,000 gold coins. Those mansions on earth are nothing compared to this one here. They are all rubbish.
"I've met the master." After Li Cong walked through the main house in front, he went to the back. What surprised Li Cong even more happened. What appeared in the back was a group of people. Yes, it was a group of people. It seemed like it should be here.
Some of the handymen, there were thousands of them. You can see how huge this house is. What surprised Li Cong the most was the dozen leaders. They were all slaves, but they were all slaves.
Other people would be lucky to have just one woman from the Mengbei or Piaoxue tribe in their lifetime, but Her Royal Highness actually prepared more than a dozen for Li Cong. This is truly an incredible feat. No wonder she relies on heaven.
As for the big shopkeeper, it would be impossible for others to buy these all at once even if they were rich. In fact, Her Royal Highness the Princess is also very good at giving gifts. Li has never cared about these things that money can buy, and now Li Cong has them.
But if you have a lot of money, Li Cong can immediately spend at least 30 million gold coins, so these things that cannot be bought with money are very precious to Li Cong.
Li Cong chuckled. He really didn't know what to say. Her Royal Highness the Princess seemed to really value herself, but no matter how much she valued herself, she couldn't be so life-threatening. Li Cong was very embarrassed to say that someone else's hands were short.
Understandably, he already had a plan in mind and ordered people to bring the two sisters Kelly and Lao Yang here. There would be no need to go to that hotel in the future. Although it was pretty good there, it was nothing like here.
In comparison, the gap is too big, they are not on the same level.
When the two Kelly sisters arrived here, they were also frightened by everything here. Although they didn't know what materials these were, they also knew that it definitely couldn't be won with one or two million gold coins.
Yes, everything here is very valuable, but they were not as happy as when Li Cong announced that they were the hostesses here. The dozen or so girls from the Mengbei tribe or the Piaoxue tribe heard this announcement.
When they were together, they all had strong hostility in their eyes. Yes, it was hostility. They were both slaves. Why didn't they have such a good chance? It was just through time that these two girls became Li Cong.
As a person, Li Cong can only smile when it comes to things between women. He is not sentimental.
In the palace of the eldest princess, the real residence of the eldest princess is here. It is very close to the palace. The guards outside are patrolling here. The most powerful people in the imperial capital live here. From His Majesty the Emperor in the innermost place to the outside
These princes, counties, princes and princesses, all of them are stomping their feet outside and making the earth tremble. Absolute peace is needed here, because His Majesty the Emperor does not want to see some messy things, otherwise it will be with His Majesty the Emperor.
We are enemies. At present, His Majesty the Emperor is still the most powerful. None of them have the courage. The eldest princess sat down a little tiredly. On the way back, she was thinking about that person. Strangely enough,
Why was it that the first time we met, that person subdued him, but he didn't subdue himself, so why could he not let go of him? I had never cared about someone so much.
Especially for a man, if there is one, he was his father back then. When his dead husband went off to war, he didn't worry much about it. What he thought about was what relationship this guy had with him and whether he could come back.
It's his destiny to get it, and it's his fate if he can't come back. Nothing can be forced. This is what I thought at that time.
But today, my impression of that person is different. Although the eldest princess has not tasted the sweetness of love, after so many years, although she still looks young and dignified, she knows that she is already elegant.
Now that she's gone, does that person prefer younger people? Her face turned red when she thought of this. What was she thinking? Why did she have so many thoughts? Why did she think of this aspect?
I was never such a person before.
"Mom, you're back." A little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old ran in from outside. This is her young look. This is Han Bing, the only daughter of the eldest princess. This little girl is also very miserable.
She has never seen her father since she was born, and she is still such a strong person. Speaking of it, she spent her childhood with nannies and eunuchs, but it can be seen that she still has a lot of affection for her own mother.
Yes, the eldest princess looks like a strong woman outside, but she was still very happy when she met her daughter. Maybe she is more like a woman now. She brought her daughter to sit next to her,
He took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat off the little girl's head.
"Who is following the princess now? Why is the princess sweating so much? Do you think that if I am not in the imperial capital, everyone will become lawless?" When Long Yue finished speaking, people knelt down outside the door.
After a while, an old nun and an old eunuch came in on their knees. These two people were the ones who brought up the princess since she was a child. They were also the stewards of the princess's house. Seeing her wet nurse in such discomfort, the little princess was unhappy.
Well, Long Yue had no choice but to calm down her expression, for she was just a girl.
"Returning to the princess, the little princess just went to Prince Lu's place to go horse racing with the prince. Prince Lu got more than a dozen good horses and gave one to our little princess. The little princess was also because of that horse.
The horse is good, so I had more fun. It's all the old slave's fault. Please punish me, Your Highness." The old eunuch said tremblingly. He knew that he could only come out by himself at this time. He was already nearly seven years old.
He was ten years old. He used to follow the old emperor. After the old emperor died, he was asked to come here by the princess. Otherwise, he would have to be buried with the old emperor. It can be said that without the princess, he would not be there.
Today, he is one hundred and twenty loyal to this master and has no other thoughts at all.
"Oh, you are the one who takes responsibility every time. I asked you to be my housekeeper. Those little bastards down there are going to hell if you spoil them. Are there any rules left in this house in the future?
So are you. A few horses are so rare. Mother will get better ones for you tomorrow. You are so sweaty. Nanny, hurry up and take the little princess down to freshen up. Be careful of catching a cold." When the princess heard that Prince Lu and his son
His Highness's face trembled for a moment, and now he asked the wet nurse to take her daughter down.
"Oh, it sure stinks all over. I'm going down first, and I'll come back to chat with mother later." The little girl smelled her body, and there was indeed a lot of smell on her body. She quickly followed the nanny down, Her Royal Highness the Princess.
The smile on his face slowly disappeared as his daughter left, turning into his original cold look.
"You should get up too. You don't have to kneel down. Isn't this guy Prince Lu still unwilling to give up?" This Prince Lu is the uncle of Her Royal Highness the Princess. He can be said to be very high in the ranking of princes, but
The capabilities of Prince Lu's Mansion are not good enough. They are not even comparable to some of the great dukes in the imperial capital. Even though it is a Prince's Mansion, there is no real powerful person in the entire Prince's Mansion. All the people in the Prince's Mansion have titles but no official positions.
It's okay to chat and laugh when we meet in normal times, but it has no effect at all when we are actually doing business. Although Prince Lu can go to the meeting of kings and ministers to discuss politics, that meeting is only held once every few years, so what effect does it have?
The discussions were all about matters within the royal family, with no real power. After Prince Lu failed to compete with the old emperor for the throne, he had to be honest. All external forces were cut short and he lived an honest life. But for a person like him who was
A man who forced himself to be honest gave birth to a dishonest son. This son can be said to be very ambitious. It can be seen from his approach to his daughter Han Bing that he has no good intentions. Prince Lu's son is also very popular in the royal family.
He is an important person. You must know that the crown prince of Qin is on the same level as the county king. If he becomes his son-in-law, he will definitely be the top figure in the next generation of the imperial capital. At that time, he can use some power to obtain
He has real power, and his official position cannot be too low. He is also a county king. Even if his family is not capable, the mother-in-law's family is very capable. Long Yue can see this guy's idea at a glance.
However, in order not to hurt her daughter, she could only hold back. She wanted to give her daughter a quiet life and did not want her to enter this dirty royal family.
"Master, this servant of Prince Lu has tried many times. He has no intention of marrying us. Prince Lu has also chosen a concubine for the crown prince. She is Hua Yan, the granddaughter of the Minister of Industry of the Empire. She is also very popular in the imperial capital.
He's a good person." This old servant replied, so Long Yue knew that Prince Lu was still the same as before, without any ambition to be competitive. Although Prince Lu's palace had no status in the imperial capital, Prince Lu was still the emperor's uncle after all.
Well, if he were walking on the street, few would dare to confront him. If he did that, His Majesty the Emperor would be even more relieved. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry seems to be retiring after this year. Although there are still many children in the family, but
They are all young people who are useless and cannot become anyone.
"Master, this slave can see that he is very scheming, but he has no sincerity towards the princess." This old slave followed his little master around during the day without saying a word, but this man's eyes are very poisonous.
, If Prince Lu and his daughter are in love, he will never stop him. But since you have no feelings at all and still want to take advantage of me, then I'm sorry for you. Her Royal Highness the Princess is not that cheap.
It's easy to take advantage of, and you are not taking advantage. You want the daughter of Her Royal Highness the Princess. How can such a thing be possible for you?
"Haha, this boy really doesn't know how high the sky is. Next time he comes to ask the lady out, he will go immediately. Hua Yan can make an appointment for me. I want to see what he can do with his fiancée. In addition, give me
Send a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets to Prince Lu's Mansion, saying that they are for me to congratulate the prince on his wedding." Long Yue said with a sneer, in fact, what she cares about most is her daughter, you have no problem being nice to her daughter.
, but it would not be so good if she was taking advantage of her daughter.
"I obey the order. I will go and do it right away. Princess, and also, a man named Li Cong just asked his servants to deliver this thing." The old man said and presented a box.
Long Yue asked him to go down with doubts, and then opened it himself. His face changed drastically. The mirror Li Cong sent him turned out to be such a huge mirror. Last time, he had to move around to see the whole picture. This time, this mirror turned out to be such a huge one.
More than five times that, this gift is so valuable.!!!
