Dawn.After a night"s rest, Qin Shuang left the inn with Qin Yunxia and Qinbo. Lan Ming Yue accompanied Qin Shuang"s side. They spent the morning time buying the required herbs. She bought a lot, emptied out all of Tianqin City"s Dan shops. The herbs she needs are not expensive, and did not cost too much gold and silver. She let Qinbo hurry and drive the carriage full of herbs back to the inn. She took Qin Yunxia and Lan Ming Yue to the slave market.
Tianqin City is a border town, bordering the Xuanwu Kingdom. The two countries often broke out into some friction. The captives of each other"s countries are sold as slaves. So Tianqin city"s slave market is very prosperous. Even people from w.a.n.gdu buy slaves here, and then sell them back in the capital.
The time has been near noon. Qin Shuang glanced at the tired face of Qin Yunxia, then turned her head to Lan Ming Yue and said:
“Ming Yue, let"s find a place to eat something!”
Lan Ming Yue nodded, then stopped someone beside him: “This big brother, where is the best restaurant here?”
The man glanced at Lan Ming Yue, and the look on his face became humble: “Back to this young master, if you walk down this street, you will see a three-story restaurant, that is the city"s best Tianqin restaurant.”
“Thank you!” Lan Ming Yue turned his head to Qin Shuang and said: “Shuang"er meimei, we"ll go to Tianqin restaurant.”
Qin Shuang helplessly rolled her eyes. This Lan Ming Yue is really stubborn, always so familiar. Originally he called her Qin Shuang meimei, but now, since this morning, he began to call her Shuang"er meimei. No matter how violently she glared at him, he still doesn"t change.
Three people soon found Tianqin restaurant. Qin Shuang naturally wants to choose a private room, but with Lan Ming Yue"s temperament, he is willing to be in a place with many people. Qin Shuang also can"t change his mind, and besides what barren hills and wild rivers hasn"t she seen? Not too concerned, she hasn"t yet fully adapted to the ident.i.ty of a princess. So three people chose to sit in the lobby on the first floor.
Three people"s dishes have just arrived. They barely ate a few mouthfuls, when outside the restaurant door came in four people. The guy at the restaurant ran down to the four men and nodded:
“Wei Gongzi, Guo Gongzi, Yang Gongzi, Shi Gongzi*, we"ve keep the private room for you, please come with me.”
“Lead the way ahead!” Guo Tian looked ahead.
Wei Tianhua casually swept across the lobby, his eyes brightened, he saw Qin Shuang. At this time, Qin Shuang"s appearance is not a fat-pig like appearance. Height has been about one meter 65, but the body is only a little more than 80 pounds. The shape is well-proportioned and the curves are obvious. The genes of the royal family gave her a beautiful and n.o.ble little face.
In this small town, when did Wei Tianhua ever see such a beautiful woman?
Immediately cannot move the legs, completely forget that he came here to eat.
"Wei ge, Wei ge…….”
Wei Tianhua woke up from the sound of Shi Suo. Took a deep breath, quickly thinking in his mind, which family"s miss is this? It can"t be from Tianqin City. He changed to a cla.s.sy and elegant n.o.bleman appearance, walking over to Qin Shuang"s table, he did not stare at Qin Shuang, but looked at Lan Ming Yue, cupping his fists in greeting towards him.
“This xiōng zhǎng* has an imposing and impressive manner, at first sight I admired you. Can I possibly have a drink with you xiōng?”
Lan Ming Yue proudly looked at Qin Shuang, meaning: how? This is my charm, wherever there are people, they worship me. Then there was a big smile on his face:
“Meeting each other is fate, sit down!”
“Many thanks brother!” Wei Tianhua sat down with a smile: “I am Wei Tianhua, the son of the city owner of Tianqin City. Brother isn"t a local, is he? Today"s little brother* will act as host.”
At this time Guo Tian, Yang Mu and Shi Suo also came over, did a self-introduction, and then also sat down. Lan Ming Yue said:
“Yes, I"m really not a local, today just came to buy some slaves with my sister.”
Wei Tianhua thought in his heart. Is this brother and sister duo, slave traders? Looking at the temperament and dress of the two brothers and sisters, they must be great slave traders, selling slaves in w.a.n.gdu. On the spot he said straightforwardly.
“This brothers name?”
“Lan Ming Yue.”
“Lán xiōng*, little brother is familiar here. In awhile I will accompany my brother to the slave market, choosing slaves, let me speak for you. Leave everything to the younger brother here.”
“Thank you so much!” Lan Ming Yue is also not polite. He is a bold man, naturally will not be polite to others.
Several of them chatted, and Qin Shuang clearly heard. To hear that Wei Tianhua is the son of the city lord of Tianqin. She cannot help but pay attention to him. After all, her fiefdom is Tianqin Town, and it is inevitable to deal with Tianqin City Lord.
With the experience of Qin Shuang, only a look at the eyes of the four people, and from the temperament of these four people she can see that they are not trustworthy people. The face appears hollowed out with wine. Qin Shuang slightly frowned. And this time, Wei Tianhua very naturally turned to Qin Shuang cupping his fists in greeting.
“I"ve seen this young miss, I haven"t asked for your name yet?”
Qin Shuang saw at this time the eyes of the four people are polite and thoughtful, perhaps because Wei Tianhua is the son of the city lord of Tianqin. In her heart she thinks that they"re just hedonistic rich kids, so she didn"t care too much, then faintly said:
“Qin Shuang!”
“Qin Shuang?” Wei Tianhua looked distracted, he whispered: “This name is so familiar ah, seems to have heard it somewhere.”
“Pfff…” Lan Ming Yue laughed: “Bro*, your way of picking up a girl is so out of date.”
“No!” Wei Tianhua hurriedly waved his hand: “I"ve really heard…”
“You…” Guo Tian tentatively asked, “You wouldn"t happen to be the Seventh Princess, would you?”
“I am precisely that Princess!”
Guo Tian, four people are completely silly. Isn"t the Seventh Princess as fat as a pig? Where does she appear as fat as a pig?
Although the figure is not tall enough, only one meter six or five or so, but you need to know that the seventh princess is only 13 years old now! That healthy curvy body, white skin, beautiful appearance, five exquisite features. If this is fat like a pig, then what are other woman considered as?
Wei Tianhua"s face is green at this time, recalling him and Guo Tian and the others scheming to force the seventh princess to marry Guo Tian, and then occupy the seventh princess"s land. Looking at Guo Tian"s wretched appearance, his heart rose a breath of injustice.
How can a flower as lovely as the seventh princess be inserted on Guo Tian"s cow dung?
What"s more…
The seventh princess is not an ordinary flower, but a rich flower…
This must be inserted in me…..
No!
Must marry me!
