Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story

Zhao Yuanqing arrived at Fengyi Palace, and Crown Prince Zhao Xing also arrived. The Queen recounted Xu's story and angrily said, "How could she, a concubine, come to see me? Why did the Emperor let her in?"

The prince said, "Mother, Sun Ping has come to the capital to report on his work. He has made great contributions in Longyou Road, so the emperor has given him a favor and allowed his concubine to see you."

The Queen said angrily, "Your Majesty is really..."

She didn't say anything else. Walls have ears, and no one dared to criticize the emperor in the palace.

Zhao Yuanqing asked, "Brother Emperor, the Jiedushi cannot enter the capital without an imperial decree. Does Sun Ping need to come in person for a brief report?"

The Crown Prince shook his head. "No, that's why I suspect he came to the capital this time for the positions of Idle Stables Supervisor and Longxi Herdsman Supervisor. His last memorial was withheld by the Emperor, so this time he came in person to request the position."

"It seems Sun Ping has big ambitions. He has an army. If he controls the horse farm and the right to mint coins, wouldn't Longxi Road become a country within a country?"

The prince was startled. "Qing'er, Sun Ping only wants a horse ranch, not the right to mint coins. Don't talk nonsense."

It is true that they did not want it now, but a year later Sun Ping applied for the right to mint coins because he discovered a fine copper mine in Longxi. After reporting it to the court, the court sent troops to guard it. However, the Turkic State also set its sights on the copper mine and harassed it every now and then, killing all the garrison troops of the Qing State, causing turmoil on the border.

Afterwards, Sun Ping repelled the Turkic Empire and made great contributions. He took the opportunity to apply to the emperor for the right to mint coins, saying that he would guard the refined copper mine and transport the minted copper coins to the capital. After several considerations, the emperor agreed. Since then, Sun Ping has controlled the refined copper mine and obtained the right to mint coins, becoming a figure comparable to a vassal king.

Zhao Yuanqing thought back to her past life and felt that Sun Ping's ambitions were enormous. He wanted soldiers, horses, and money. Could he be planning a rebellion? But if he wanted to rebel, he would have to get rid of her grandfather first, otherwise there would be no hope.

A sudden thought struck Zhao Yuanqing. Could Sun Ping have been involved in Yuzhen Temple's attempt to frame her? After all, he was also a beneficiary.

"Brother, I heard that there are many small mines in Longxi Border County, where there are rolling hills and continuous mountains. When I was buying spices a while ago, a Hu merchant said that someone was mining there, and it seemed to be a copper mine."

Of course, this was just nonsense from Zhao Yuanqing. She wanted to expose the copper mine in Longxi in advance.

The prince was surprised, "Really? Where is the copper mine that Hu Shang said?"

"I don't know if it's true or not. Hu Shang just mentioned it, saying it was somewhere in Maiji Mountain in Tianshui, Gansu, but the exact location is unclear."

The prince immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. If Sun Ping discovered the mine but did not report it, but instead asked for troops and horses, it was easy to guess what he wanted to do.

"But I see that Sun Ping is a humble person who dresses simply. He doesn't seem like someone who is extravagant or has ulterior motives."

Zhao Yuanqing finally understood why they failed in their previous life. It was because they had their grandfather's support, so they were blindly confident, underestimated their enemies, and were not ruthless enough.

"Royal brother, a person's heart is hidden in his belly. This person's character cannot be judged by his appearance. If Sun Ping really discovered the copper mine, then he must be very rich. His simplicity may be an act. We can start with his concubine and try that Xu family member."

"That's one way to do it. The truth will come out in small things. Maybe Xu will reveal something."

The mother and her two children split up into three groups and acted independently. As their future and safety were at stake, no one was unwilling to do their best.

Zhao Yuanqing went to Zuixiangfeng and told the shop girl that when Sun Ping's wife Ru came, she must introduce her to many things and let her buy as much as possible.

Out of respect for the queen, the ladies of honor quickly went to Zuixiangfeng to choose their favorite perfumes.

In order to facilitate this sale, Zhao Yuanqing ordered Wu Rong and others to refine hundreds of bottles of perfume, some expensive and some affordable, which filled the entire Zuixiangfeng.

There is no woman who doesn't like fragrant things. At first, those ladies just wanted to give face to the queen, but after they arrived, one wanted to buy it, and the other wanted it too, and each of them bought many bottles.

Among this group of guests, there was an unexpected surprise: many Hu people came and they also wanted to buy perfume.

The Daqing Kingdom attracted tributes from all over the world, and there were many Hu people. These Hu people, both men and women, were tall and had well-developed body hair. They also loved to eat beef and mutton, so their body odor was very strong. It was okay in winter, but in the summer, if they just raised their arms, they would be so odorous that they could make people faint.

When these people heard about the good thing called perfume, they immediately thought that they could use the perfume to suppress their body odor, so they also rushed to Zuixiangfeng to buy perfume.

Zhao Yuanqing stood on the third floor and watched the people below fighting over the food. There were actually more Hu people than people from Daqing. In less than an hour, all the fragrant dew was snatched away.

But don't worry, Zhao Yuanqing has sufficient stock and soon ordered the second batch.

After a while, a figure appeared at the door of Zui Xiang Feng. It was Xu.

She changed out of her previous pink skirt and put on the pomegranate skirt that was recently popular in Chang'an City. The pomegranate skirt was covered with gold foil and embroidered with golden pomegranates with gold thread. She wore a colorful gem hairpin on her head, a gold necklace around her neck, and a pair of embroidered shoes on her feet. The entire sole of her feet was hung with gold beads.

Her dress was more precious than those of the concubines and princesses in the imperial city. Zhao Yuanqing couldn't help but suspect that Sun Ping had discovered a gold mine instead of a copper mine.

When Xu entered the door, a shop maid came forward to greet her. The two maids behind her were also surrounded by the shop maids and introduced themselves enthusiastically.

Xu was very easy to talk to. Whenever the shop maid introduced something to her, she would nod and take it. She went from the first floor to the second floor and bought everything she liked. In the end, the bill came to five hundred and twenty taels of gold.

Despite the huge sum of money, Xu didn't even blink an eye. She asked the servants to settle the bill, filled the car with fragrant dew and left.

After a while, the people below came to report that Xu was Sun Ping's fourth concubine and was very favored. It was heard that their mistress was ill all year round and had no time to manage the concubines, so Xu spent money as she pleased. Xu's maid was also very generous and bought a lot of perfume.

Zhao Yuanqing entered the palace again and told the Queen and the Crown Prince the news. "A mere concubine can spend a fortune, which means Sun Ping is not short of money at all. Then why does he still need the Emperor to allocate funds to him? This man must have ulterior motives."

The prince said, "Since Sun Ping came to the capital, he has stayed indoors except for when he met with the emperor. He seems very well behaved."

"If he has any plans, he'll be exposed sooner or later. But waiting for him to make a move is too passive. Brother, what if he dies in the capital? Is this idea feasible?"

"The death of Sun Ping is nothing, but the army of Longyou Road was led by Sun Ping and only obeys his command. If he dies in the capital, Longyou Road will most likely be in chaos, and the Turkic Kingdom will take the opportunity to attack us. The two countries will go to war, and the people will be displaced. Qing'er, this idea is not feasible."

Zhao Yuanqing nodded, "Then let's keep him for now and see how he behaves."

The prince felt that Zhao Yuanqing was being too arrogant and warned him, "Qing'er, Sun Ping is a martial arts expert, has killed countless people, and is protected by powerful men. You must not act rashly."

"it is good."

The Queen said, "The Emperor is holding a banquet at Taiji Palace today to entertain his ministers and their wives. We can take this opportunity to observe."

The mother and her two children separated and prepared to go.
