Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Six hundred and ninety earrings

The constant flow of people does not make people feel that today’s time is approaching the time of curfew. People in the inner city of Chang'an, either wandering in the square, or taking advantage of the night, began to travel to Chang'an just shortly after it was built. After the outer city.

Li Hong and Chen Qinghan talked and laughed along the way. Under Chen Qinghan's control, the two actually rented a carriage and slowly came to the West Market built in the outer city.

Nowadays, the two cities are basically indistinguishable. Only small commodities can be distinguished. The West Market is mostly foreign products, while the East Market is mainly Datang products.

Continuing the original characteristics of the inner city and the east and west cities, the only difference in appearance is the building, which makes people realize whether they are walking on the streets of the West City or the lanes of the East City.

There are endless screams along the street. The camel team is not allowed to show up in the market, and all the items can only be delivered from outside within an hour of the city gate every morning, otherwise , Can only wait the next day.

In this way, in the eyes of the people of Chang'an, whether it’s the East or West Market, it’s like a magic trick. Looking at the shelves that are about to be sold out, they are filled with merchandise overnight, but watching A large number of camel teams or carriages that were not able to load the goods broke into the orderly West Market in a mess.

At the beginning of the Hua Deng, the lanterns with the names of the signs written on them were red or green. They were colorful with other businesses in an attempt to create a different flavor.

On the warm streets, the cold wind blows, no longer like before, there will be a puff of dust, but only the clear cold wind blows, so that people will not turn their heads to avoid the dust.

In the past two months, Chen Qinghan has never been as happy as he is today. He bounced around with candied haws in his hand, pulling Li Hong around the shop for a while, and pulling it around to another one for a while.

From time to time, I would ask about the price, and then raised my face, earnestly comparing it to today when I bought the New Year goods by myself, whether it was expensive or cheaper.

Some literati, celebrities and ladies, are also beautifully dressed up, wandering in groups on the bustling streets, and from time to time some people will look at Chen Qinghan who is passing by.

The eyes were filled with amazing colors, looking at the excited back, and the other tall back, staring blankly until he was dragged away by the companion who was aware of it.

"The tea in the south is naturally much better than the tea here. The rain in the early spring is the most suitable for making tea. Or you can go to the spring to collect the spring water. It must be gently scooped into a wooden bucket. You can't stumble, or else It will hurt the spirituality of the water, and the tea will naturally lose its spirituality and taste." Chen Qinghan raised his head and looked at a very elegantly decorated teahouse, then said as he went up the stairs.

Along the way, Li Hong didn't see Chen Qinghan's mouth stop. Now I was afraid that I was thirsty, so I pulled myself to this teahouse.

All the layout of the elegant tea house is full of the taste of Jiangnan water town, especially the furnishings inside are mainly based on the Jiangnan architectural style, but in the details, it takes care of the boldness of some northerners, such as the big teapot and Teacups, in the eyes of Jiangnan people, are afraid that they can only be used to drink water, not tea.

The two had just sat down in a relatively remote place, and before the store clerk came to greet him enthusiastically, Banmei appeared in front of Li Hong like a ghost.

"The slave and maid had seen His Highness."

"I..." Li Hong was taken aback, but he didn't expect to meet her here.

"The queen, please come over." Banmei pointed to the door of an elegant private room. On both sides of the door, there were several eunuchs in the palace standing with vigilant eyes.

Li Hong rolled his eyes thoughtfully, got up and Chen Qinghan, followed Banmei to the elegant private room.

On the way, Li Hong secretly put his ear to Banmei's ear, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know why the queen came here today?"

"I don’t know, but the queen seems to have come here deliberately. After sitting for almost two hours, Dali Temple will be there in a while." Banmei approached Li Hong, Li Hong smelled the attractive fragrance and decided Yes, tonight you sleep with Xunlan.

Li Hong nodded clearly, walked to the door, and deliberately looked at the four eunuchs who saluted him on both sides of the door.

When four eunuchs were about to reach out to stop Chen Qinghan behind him, Li Hong said coldly: "If you dare to stretch out your paw to stop her, I will chop off your paw."

"Yes, your majesty, the servants dare not." A **** hurriedly paid a courtesy to apologize.

Chen Qinghan's face is indeed solemn at this moment. This is no better than that of her and Li Hong. After all, the two are so familiar with each other. Now they are the queen who sees the mother's world. Although they have seen two sides before, but now they see you two years later. It is still a bit nervous.

Looking at Li Hong talking to the palace people like this in order to protect her, his anxiety was slightly relieved. After saluting the four palace people slightly, he bowed his head and walked in with Li Hong.

After Li Hong brought Chen Qinghan to the salute, he looked at Long Ma's smiley eyes and started to wander his eyes.

There was no one else in the house, except Xunlan and Banmei, there was no one else, and she didn't know why she had to sit here for two hours.

"It is said that Jiangnan women are gentle and generous, and tea art is even more outstanding. I don't know if there is any good food in this palace today. How about enjoying the tea you make yourself?" Wu Mei glanced at Li Hong with a smile and a smile. Chen Qinghan standing in front of him said.

"If the queen doesn't dislike Qinghan's clumsy hands, Qinghan is willing to make tea for you." Chen Qinghan said hurriedly.

"Naturally, it couldn't be better. Change the tea." Wu Mei laughed and motioned for Chen Qinghan to sit down.

As for someone, she naturally doesn't need to remind them, they have already consciously sat aside.

"How come the queen mother is so yaxing today and went to the West Market to drink tea?" After Chen Qinghan picked up a tea set and put it down, he picked it up and looked at it casually, or just fiddled with it in front of him. A man is like his son and daughter, and can't be idle.

"Don't just ask me, did you come to this West Market without problems?" Wu Mei took the tea spoon and tapped Li Hong's restless hand to prevent him from continuing to disturb Chen Qinghan making tea .

Unconsciously touched his nose, then looked at Chen Qinghan next to him and said: "The sons and ministers are free, so I took Qinghan around casually and watched the excitement of the West Market before the Yuan Dynasty." /

"Don't choose the East Market, or the higher-end inner city East and West cities, but chose the newly built West Market? Haven't you been here in the past two years?" Wu Mei asked.

The two began to play a dumb puzzle. Both mother and son knew the purpose of each other's coming here, but no one was willing to click through. Instead, there was a pair of dumb puzzles here.

Looking at Banmei walking to the door and whispering to the palace man a few times, he walked back and saluted Wu Mei and said, "Queen, Master Qingdi of Dali Temple is here."

"Let him in." Wu Mei glanced at Li Hong and said lightly.

In a short while, Di Renjie walked into the tea room alone, glanced at the queen and Li Hong, then at Chen Qinghan who was carrying him, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The minister Di Renjie has seen the queen and the prince. Your Highness, I have seen the Princess."

"Prince Princess?" Li Hong and Wu Mei looked at Di Renjie in surprise and asked.

Then following Di Renjie's blankly surprised gaze, he moved his gaze to Chen Qinghan, Chen Qinghan's face instantly turned red, and he didn't want to be regarded as Wanying's sister by Di Renjie because of his back.

Faced with Li Hong and Wu Mei looking at her strange eyes, Chen Qinghan didn’t know what to do at this time. Explain it. I’m afraid there is not enough for her to speak here. Let’s not explain. Let’s see the queen and Li Hong. He looked like he was going to be wrong if he planned to do so.

"Di Renjie, good eyesight." Li Hong praised with a thumbs up.

Wu Mei smiled and motioned Di Renjie to sit down. Only then did Di Renjie see clearly that the woman in front of him was not the princess Pei Wanying, but Chen Qinghan, the daughter of Chen Jingzhi he had recommended.

"Di Mou is here to compensate Miss Chen. Just looking at the back..." Di Renjie said with an embarrassed smile on his face and hurriedly apologized.

"You don't have to pay for it, I'm afraid someone is eager to keep Qinghan by his side. What can I find?" When the last sentence was uttered, Wu Mei's expression had become serious.

"Back to the queen, the minister found two suspicious objects~IndoMTL.com~ but now it can only prove that this object is indeed a palace object, but who used it and how it was put in the West Market for sale? Need to continue to investigate.” Di Renjie said as he took out a folded napkin from his arms.

Wu Mei motioned to Banmei to take it apart, and saw that there was a hosta inlaid with gold inside, and the whole body of the hairpin was radiant and beautiful under the light. And the other pair of earrings with full color and exquisite shape were obviously well maintained, and the golden light dangling in Banmei's hands.

"Have you checked with Taifu Temple?" Li Hong glanced at Wu Mei thoughtfully, and asked Di Renjie lightly.

"Not yet, Chen just found it from West Market today." Di Renjie answered truthfully.

Li Hong nodded, then looked at Chen Qinghan, Chen Qinghan immediately understood, and cautiously took out a napkin from his sleeve, and then opened it in front of Wu Mei and Di Renjie. They were another pair of elegant looks. earring.

Looking at the shape, style, and workmanship, it is obviously from the Royal Taifu Temple, but this kind of jewelry is often seen in the West Market.

There are even a lot of jewelry that seems to have flowed out of the palace, and most of them have been sold.

Di Renjie stared at the pair of earrings that Chen Qinghan took out. After obtaining the consent of Li Hong and Wu Mei, he carefully picked up one and looked at it in the palm of his hand, then slightly raised his head and thought. Cautiously said: "If the minister remembers correctly, this pair of earrings...The minister was in the Pei Palace, and he saw it on the day of his wedding."

"I have no impression." Li Hong shrugged.

Wu Mei sighed helplessly. This pair of earrings, I am afraid that there is no one more familiar than her. The true love was personally given to Fang Muqing by herself. On Li Xian’s wedding day, Fang Muqing wore it. This is the earring.
