It was very difficult for two businessmen to send a batch of porcelain to the imperial concubine.

After entering Shuzhou City, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing relied on many connections and spent a lot of money. In the end, they did not even see the governor of Shuzhou.

The status of businessmen is too low, especially officials, who are not willing to have any interaction with businessmen, let alone a dignified governor.

They didn't know how much money they had spent, and when Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were about to despair, Si Gongjunjun Yuan Suixiang, the governor of the governor's office who had spent a lot of money to establish a plastic brotherhood, gave them an idea.

When the imperial concubine Luan arrived in Shuzhou, almost all the local officials near Shuzhou came. Not only that, even Xianyu Zhongtong, the envoy of Jiannan Road, also accompanied her in Shuzhou City.

Officials and businessmen have the same idea. Who would miss such an excellent opportunity to hug the imperial concubine? Xianyu Zhongtong is not immune to this.

In particular, the inducement for the imperial concubine to return to her hometown to visit her relatives was the Shuzhou Qing Kiln. The Shuzhou Qing Kiln was discovered by Xian Yu Zhongtong and named it himself. Now that the imperial concubine is returning to her hometown, it is an excellent opportunity for Xian Yu Zhongtong to gain recognition and take credit.

opportunity.

So while the imperial concubine's escort was still on the way, Xianyu Zhongtong came to Shuzhou from Yizhou and took over all preparations for the reception. Pei Di, the governor of Shuzhou, was kicked aside by him.

Yuan Suixiang told the two shopkeepers that the presentation of porcelain to the imperial concubine would be better if it was entrusted to Zhongtong.

The two shopkeepers were immediately moved, so they cautiously came outside Xianyu Zhongtong's temporary residence, handed over the money as usual, and mentioned the porcelain kiln in Qingcheng County to their entourage.

Surprisingly, the two shopkeepers didn't wait long before they sent word from inside to announce their meeting with Commander-in-Chief.

The two shopkeepers were overjoyed and excited to see the legendary Jiedushi of Jiannan Road. They stood in front of Xianyu Zhongtong as if walking on thin ice, and their smiles were particularly stiff.

Xianyu Zhongtong was very kind. He asked about some things about Qing Kiln, and then took out the batch of orphan plum vases to look at them. He was especially impressed by the poems on them and marveled at Gu Qing's talent.

Then Xianyu Zhongtong told the two shopkeepers that he would personally present this batch of tribute porcelain to the imperial concubine. Of course, he also spoke very implicitly, and the meaning behind his words was obvious. The imperial concubine has a body of thousands of gold, and you two businessmen

It's impossible to see her, I'm going to give up on this.

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were not disappointed. It was an unexpected bonus to see Xianyu Zhongtong when they entered Shuzhou City this time. They never expected to see the imperial concubine.

Leaving the solitary plum vase behind, Hao Donglai and Shi Da said goodbye and left with interest.

…………

The mansion donated by a wealthy businessman in Shuzhou became Concubine Yang's temporary palace. Concubine Yang returned to Shuzhou City, met with several officials, and then closed the door to thank guests. Of course, some guests would not refuse, such as Xianyu Zhongtong,

Regardless of his status as the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road, the imperial concubine's cousin Yang Zhao also received favors from Xianyu Zhongtong before he became famous. Others may not see him, but Xianyu Zhongtong still has to see him.

The temporary palace was very luxurious. Before the imperial concubine returned to her hometown, the governor Pei Di urged the wealthy businessmen to specially redecorate it. The palace was equipped with ponds, water, pavilions and pavilions, and the palace where the imperial concubine lived was even more magnificent.

In the early morning, Concubine Yang sat in the pavilion. The palace servants prepared a wooden chair covered with bearskin for her.

Yang Guifei is already in her thirties, but she is very well-maintained. She looks like she is in her early twenties. Her skin is as fair as snow, her eyebrows are as dark as willows, and her eyebrows are dotted with bright red three-leaf diamonds. She has a beautiful nose and thin lips.

Her horns are slightly raised, and her natural smile is friendly to her face. The most expressive thing is her eyes, which are clear and innocent, unstained by the world. Her pitiful and peerless charm can make all the men in the world drunk in her eyes.

In the eyes.

No matter from any angle, she is worthy of the praise of "beautiful figure". No wonder today's people have spent half their lives trying to govern, but in the end they gave up half their fame for her.

Concubine Yang was sitting in the pavilion with her chin on her back. The maids behind her were holding a nine-winged fan screen, and there were people holding incense burners, golden melons, jade ruyi and other ornaments, which were all part of the imperial concubine's ceremonial guard.

It was a cold winter day, and the pavilion was very cold. The cold wind was whistling by. Several pots of fire were lit in the four corners of the pavilion. Concubine Yang was also wrapped in a thick cloak, but she still couldn't resist the coldness around her.

The eunuch carefully advised her to go back to the palace to rest, but Concubine Yang shook her head and refused, holding her chin up and staring at the ruined lotus leaves in the pond, with a touch of sadness in her eyes.

Until she returned to her hometown, she and Li Longji were still at odds. The old couple and the young couple were already having a hard time, not to mention that the husband was still today, so there were inevitably many other factors involved in the couple's relationship. Last time, Li Longji got angry and sent her back.

She suffered great grievances from her natal family, and the grievances have become an intractable knot in her heart, and it is difficult for the husband and wife to find the original love again.

Sometimes she really loves this wise prince because of his strength and his grace.

Sometimes I really hate this emperor, because when he took her away from King Shou, she had to bear the curse of the people in the world, and because he was actually ruthless in his heart.

This time she was allowed to return to her hometown to visit relatives and visit their graves. She was very grateful in her heart, but her frustration was still hard to resolve. She even wanted to stay in Shuzhou forever, so as to avoid the embarrassment of not knowing how to face Li Longji after returning to Chang'an.

The eunuch next to him came forward, bowed and reported carefully. Xianyu Zhongtong, the governor of Jiannan Road, asked to see him.

Concubine Yang came back to her senses, thought for a moment, and agreed to see her.

The place where I met Xianyu Zhongtong was in the pavilion. Xianyu Zhongtong was wearing a purple official uniform. He walked through the twists and turns of the water pavilion with his head bowed and stopped in front of the pavilion. He did not dare to look up and bowed his head in salute.

Concubine Yang smiled and ordered someone to give her a seat. Xian Yu Zhongtong thanked her. After sitting down for a while, she stood up again and said to Concubine Yang: "My dear concubine, I heard that your empress is worried about her hometown. I don't know how to share her worries. I also heard that your empress is quite worried."

I love Shuzhou celadon, so I ordered the owner of the porcelain kiln to make a batch of plum vases that are unique in the world and present them to the empress. I wish her good fortune and peace."

Concubine Yang raised her eyes and said: "Shuzhou Celadon? But the porcelain that was sent to the palace? Is it called 'Shuzhou Celadon'?"

"Exactly, this is the name I chose for you. It's an ugly name and not worth laughing at."

Yang Guifei said with a smile: "How can it be vulgar? Jiedushi is really self-effacing. I do like this batch of porcelain. I haven't returned to my hometown for many years. I didn't expect that my hometown would have tribute porcelain that is not inferior to the famous porcelain in the world. It makes me happy."

I am quite proud of my hometown... Where is the Shuzhou celadon plum vase you mentioned, please show me."

Xianyu Zhongtong smiled slightly and asked the eunuch next to him to bring over the porcelain from outside the palace.

Not long after, a beautifully made dark red sandalwood box appeared in front of Concubine Yang. When she opened the box, Concubine Yang's eyes were filled with brilliance and she couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.

More than a dozen small plum vases with different glaze colors, different patterns and the same shape lay quietly in the box, emitting dazzling light. The glass-like brilliance on the plum vase deeply shocked her.

Then Yang Guifei's eyes narrowed, she gently held a plum vase in her delicate hands, and suddenly discovered a poem on it.

"It's hard to give up on natural beauty. Once you choose the king's side..."

Concubine Yang was even more surprised. This flattery... was so direct! But she liked it so much!

So she eagerly picked up another plum vase, with another poem written on it: "Looking back, a smile will bring you beauty, the pink and white in the sixth palace have no color..."

ah!
