The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 696 Into the Enemy

The eunuch from the palace was very polite to Pei Xingjian. If he closed his eyes and listened with his ears, he almost thought that his son was discussing something with his father.

Pei Xingjian had seen the world these few days, and he didn't have stage fright after being in contact with those high-ranking officials. He smiled and exchanged a few words with the eunuch, and then asked: "My father-in-law, I don't know what's the matter with me?" Is it?"

"Mr. Pei, my imperial concubine would like to invite you into the palace." The eunuch bowed his head respectfully and stood there respectfully. His appearance was even more professional than that of Xiong Daxiong Er who was Pei Xingjian's guard, and his answers were also meticulous.

Noble concubine, one of the three concubines, Goguryeo is learning everything from the Tang Dynasty, and even the capital of the country is named after Chang'an, so it is not too surprising to have a three concubines.

Pei Xingjian somewhat understood this, and nodded upon hearing the words: "In that case, let's go down and tidy up, and I will meet you in the palace."

The eunuch was able to complete the mission so easily, and he felt a lot more relaxed. He said with a smile, "Then let's go outside and wait now. Mr. Pei doesn't have to worry."

After the eunuch left, Pei Xingjian found a set of clothes to change into, and asked Xiong Er to bring a mirror and other gifts before leaving the room.

As the saying goes, night owls come to the house for nothing. If there is no need for the noble concubine of Goguryeo, it is naturally impossible to meet Pei Xingjian, a "businessman" from the Tang Dynasty, no matter how powerful his background is.

After all, there are still three catties of nails on the broken ship. Although the national power of Goguryeo is not as strong as that of the Tang Dynasty, it is only the common people who suffer. For the royal family, it is actually no worse than the Tang royal family. At least in terms of status, everyone is still on the same level, so Pei Xingjian If the 'businessman' hadn't had a 'magical mirror' in his hand, it would be impossible for the 'businessman' to get into the eyes of the noble concubine in the palace.

Speechless all the way, Pei Xingjian sat in the carriage, followed the eunuch around a circle, entered from the side door of the Goguryeo Palace, and came to an exquisite garden with many twists and turns.

After getting off the carriage, Xiong Er's identity meant that he couldn't go any further with Pei Xingjian, so he handed over the things he brought to Pei Xingjian himself, followed the eunuch around the garden twice, and finally met him at a pavilion. Arriving at the master, a beautiful woman in snow-white sable fur.

Pei Xingjian only took a look at the beautiful woman, then lowered his head again, and said seriously: "Pei Xingjian, a merchant of the Tang Dynasty, has seen the imperial concubine."

The woman was polite, she simply waved her hand to signal Pei Xingjian that there is no need to be polite, and said casually: "Come here, give me a seat."

"Thank you, Concubine Gui." Pei Xingjian was not polite, and immediately went up to sit when he saw someone sitting there.

The glamorous woman looked at Pei Xingjian with interest, and after a while she opened her lips and said, "Mr. Pei, there is a 'precious mirror' that is widely spread in Chang'an city recently, I wonder if you brought it?"

"Back to the imperial concubine, I brought it here." Pei Xingjian stood up knowingly after hearing this, and held up the box in his hand: "I have never had the opportunity to meet the empress before, and I was afraid that it would be rude to meet rashly, so I dragged it to Now, I hope my mother will forgive me."

Although the glamorous woman had already guessed what would be in the box in Pei Xingjian's hand, she was still delighted to hear him admit it personally. While arranging for the maid to take the things over, she said with a smile: "Mr. Pei has a heart." gone."

"It should be." Pei Xingjian handed over the things and sat back in his seat, not caring at all about the impolite behavior of the beautiful woman who opened the box in front of him.

In fact, it is no wonder that the noble concubine of Goguryeo was rude. It is really that the temptation of mirrors to women is too great. In later generations, we may not feel that much when we are used to mirrors, but in ancient times when glass first appeared, that kind of glass mirrors were simply for women. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an artifact.

As the box was opened and she saw what she had dreamed of, a look of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the beautiful woman, but soon her eyes were attracted by several other refined small bottles, and she took out one and looked at it for a while before shedding a sigh of relief. Slowly asked: "Mr. Pei, is this perfume produced under the name of the Empress?"

"Exactly!" Pei Xingjian nodded in agreement.

For some reason, Goguryeo does not have a queen right now, so the only one who can call the noble concubine in front of him as a queen is the one from Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty.

Although the glamorous woman is the noble concubine of Goguryeo, this is the first time she has seen perfume, and her face became very exciting. She stared at Pei Xingjian for a long time before restraining her excitement, and said in a harmonious voice: "This thing is worth a thousand gold." , but cost Mr. Pei a lot."

"It doesn't matter, as long as the empress is happy." Pei Xingjian replied with a smile.

A few years ago, Li Muyun gave his perfume business as a birthday present to Empress Zhangsun. At the same time, this guy did not forget to remind the empress to control the production.

As a result, even in Datang, it is hard to find a bottle of perfume. Although a small bottle has sold for more than 200, it is still sold out immediately every time it arrives.

Although Goguryeo knew that there was such a thing as perfume, it was only heard about and had never seen the real thing. Pei Xingjian took out four bottles at a time, which can be said to have directly hit the weakness of the imperial concubine.

If it wasn't for the fear that Pei Xingjian would be unhappy, the beautiful woman would probably have the heart to recognize him as her godson.

After a while, the glamorous woman finally recovered from the surprise, looked at Pei Xingjian with eyes filled with admiration, and while waving for tea, asked kindly: "Mr. Pei, I heard that you Do you want to do business in Goguryeo this time?"

Pei Xingjian replied seriously: "Yes, my husband wants to develop a new international trade route, and I am mainly responsible for the operation of Koguryo."

"I don't know who your teacher is..." The beautiful woman was shocked by Pei Xingjian's generosity, and became curious about his teacher.

Pei Xingjian saw that the beautiful woman was somewhat clear about the situation, and immediately explained: "My husband is the Xiaoyao King of the Tang Dynasty."

"King Xiaoyao!" The beautiful woman's complexion changed, she didn't know what she thought of, but she quickly returned to normal, and continued to ask with a pleasant face: "I wonder what kind of business His Royal Highness Xiaoyao Wang wants to do in Goguryeo? "

"Minerals, real estate and so on." Pei Xingjian tried his best to repeat what he had said to Jin Chengyou before, and finally looked at the beautiful woman and said: "Young lady, if this business can be successfully cooperated, no matter what you do to Datang It is still a big profit for Goguryeo, and I hope that Empress can make it happen."

After hearing Pei Xingjian's speech, the beautiful woman hesitated for a while, and asked calmly: "Mr. Pei's words have confused me a bit."

Seeing that the beautiful woman was pretending to be confused with him, Pei Xingjian simply opened the skylight to speak bluntly, and said bluntly: "My lady, what I mean is, can I ask my lady to help you introduce me so that I can meet His Majesty the Emperor."
