my wife is queen

Chapter 136
"Hmph, I'm so mad at this servant."

Hongqiao wore a silver-red bijia, walked along the corridor to the second floor of the embroidery room, pushed the door in, and put down the blue kiln flower pot in his hand: "I am going to the Taipu Temple today. I heard that the Taipu Temple Qian Shiyang, the minister of the temple, likes plum-petal Chunlan, so he asked Ma Yun to find a pot of plum-petal Chunlan and gave it to him. I went to see him today not for any big things, but just wanted to buy some Liaodong Dama from Taipu Temple. Send it to Qin Liangyu."

Princess Changping took a look at the red bridge that walked up to the second floor of the embroidery house angrily, still holding the pot of plum petals Chunlan in her hand, obviously she didn't give it away: "He dragged it over with some official accent."

Hongqiao put the plum petals Chunlan in his hand on the mahogany semi-circular table, and said angrily: "It's not like I want to take some Liaodong horses from him, so I made it clear to him to buy them for money. He also bought Liaodong Dama at a silver price that was [-]% higher than the market price. He stayed in the yamen for a long time, but he never saw Qian Shiyang, the minister of the Taipu Temple, who was shunned by his officials with some excuses. .”

Taipu Temple used to be one of the nine ministers, but with the establishment of the six government offices, the status of Taipu Temple declined.

Today it is still an important official office in the imperial court, in charge of the imperial court's horse affairs. If the border generals want to find some excellent war horses, they all have to look at the face of Qian Shiyang, the minister of the Taipu Temple.

Qin Liangyu took the prostitutes to train soldiers in Huangzhuang, because he really wanted to train the elite, so he would inevitably need a batch of war horses.

Hong Qiao personally went to the official office of the Taipu Temple. Although she was a daughter, she still retained her status as a female official in the palace.

Going to the government office of the Taipu Temple to meet Qian Shiyang in person does not count as a compromise of his identity.

The more Hongqiao thought about it, the more aggrieved he became: "If the empress is still in the capital, how dare these dog officials show embarrassment, they don't need slaves to go there in person, and send a little eunuch to spread a message that Qian Shi, the minister of the Taipu Temple Yang has to choose a batch of excellent horses and send them over in person."

Hongqiao sighed: "It's a good thing now. As the princess's personal servant, the slave girl went to the official office of the Taipu Temple in person. I have given enough face, but I still haven't been able to see Qian Shiyang's face."

Today, Princess Shouning was replaced by Princess Shouning, who had already started to get angry, and went aggressively to the official office of Taipu Temple to find Master Qian Shi and Yang Xing to question her.

Maybe she will find her uncle Zheng Guotai to make decisions for her. With the temper of that bastard uncle Guo, she will have to let out a vicious dog to bite Qian Shiyang.

Princess Changping has suffered too many setbacks over the years. At the beginning, she would feel resentful and dissatisfied because of these things. After experiencing too many unfair treatments, she honed her perseverance.

Princess Changping didn't even put down the lake brush in her hand, but subconsciously glanced at the window lattice which was pushed open a thin slit, as if she was looking for Li Mian's figure.

Sun Chuanting didn't come to chat with Li Mian today, and the two didn't start talking at the peony flower stand. There was no one beside the white wall with two wooden piers.

Princess Changping finished processing the account book in her hand, and then put down the Hubi: "I haven't seen Qian Shiyang himself, and I should have learned some conditions from his subordinates. Tell me, what exactly do you want."

Hongqiao couldn't say anything for a while, and what Qian Shiyang arranged for his subordinates to say was a great disrespect to Princess Changping.

She hesitated for a long time, but she couldn't help it if she didn't speak out, and she couldn't solve the Liaodong Dama used for military training all the time.

Hongqiao could only say Qian Shiyang's excessive request with a sad face: "The officials of the Taipu Temple said that it is no problem to want fifty Liaodong horses, but the princess needs to exchange them with Huangzhuang."

Princess Changping had already thought in advance that the Taipu Temple would provide all kinds of excessive demands. At most, she would have to take some tributes from Ma Yun. What she didn't expect was that she actually said to exchange it with Huangzhuang.

No matter how resolute Princess Changping was, she couldn't help but remain silent because she said that Huangzhuang was exchanged for Liaodong Dama.

It took a long time for Princess Changping to say a word, but there was only one word.

"Change."

Hearing that Princess Changping actually agreed, Hongqiao became anxious immediately: "Qian Shiyang clearly regarded us as being taken advantage of, no, we are not taken advantage of, and slaughtered like a big fat sheep. It's just five Ten Liaodong horses, he actually wants to exchange the Huangzhuang in the mansion, not to mention that it is the only wish left by the empress to the princess, but the price difference is that we are simply treated as ordinary people who can be bullied at will."

Princess Changping knew that what Hongqiao said was true: "If you don't change the Liaodong horse, what can you do? The whole capital can only get excellent war horses from Taipusi. Knowing this, knowing that a large sum of money has been mercilessly scammed, I still have to hold my nose and admit it, and I can only let others cheat us of our money."

At this point, Princess Changping looked at Hongqiao who was hesitant to speak, and said seriously: "The most important thing now is to exchange Qin Liangyu for a batch of excellent war horses. The matter of practicing riding skills cannot be accomplished overnight. It takes years and years of practice to perfect the riding skills. Every day that is delayed, Qin Liangyu will be delayed by one day before training a group of elite soldiers, so you must know how to choose and choose in everything."

Hongqiao heard a trade-off, and said nothing, knowing that Princess Changping admitted that she was at a disadvantage, and was going to exchange Huangzhuang for a mere fifty excellent war horses.

Hongqiao had no choice but to leave the second floor of the embroidery room along the corridor, and once again went to the official office of the Taipu Temple.

After Hongqiao said that he agreed to exchange Huangzhuang for the war horse, he met Qian Shiyang, the Minister of Taipusi, and went to a horse farm in Gyeonggi together.

After Qian Shiyang came to the racecourse, he sat directly in the mansion of the racecourse and drank tea slowly.

The matter of choosing horses was left to his son Qian Dongjian.

Hongqiao glanced at Qian Dongjian, who had been dignified all day long, and doubted whether he could pick out a truly excellent war horse: "If we select some poems for evaluation today, there shouldn't be much problem with Qian Dongjian's talent and learning. But today I came here to pick out excellent war horses, so I can’t say for certain.”

On the surface, Qian Dongjian looked like a modest gentleman, but he was a hypocritical hypocrite. Hearing that Hongqiao doubted his ability, he didn't show any strange emotions, and still put on a gentle smile like a gentleman.

Qian Dongjian said modestly: "Students have read some books about horses, but they dare not say that they have the horse skills of Sun Gong and Yuan Gong. It is not a problem to choose some excellent Liaodong horses."
