In fact, she and Hu Hai are not related by blood, but they are as close as mother and daughter.

The reason for this is mainly related to her mother Zhao Ji.

She returned from Handan, Zhao State at the age of 13. She thought she was waiting for the long-lost love from her father and mother, but unexpectedly, her father died of illness early, leaving an empty throne. As for her mother...

The mother wanted her lover but not her, and even wanted to assassinate her for that lover.

Since then, sister Zheng has left a lot of shadows in her heart. She has never married so far, but has devoted herself to major affairs of the government.

Seeing that His Majesty has no heir for a long time, it is useless for the ministers to persuade him, so he has to select a few from the eighteen daughters of the royal family to be his successors.

Among them, the [-]th daughter, Hu Tan, is most similar in appearance to Zheng Jie.

She and Sister Zheng have seven points of similarity in appearance, whether it is the crescent eyebrows like willow leaves, the straight bridge of the nose, or the pair of phoenix eyes that look forward to shining, and the delicate chin, they are all carved out of the same mold.

Standing together, the two people who are overwhelmed by the country and the city are more like a pair of sisters than a mother and daughter.

It's just that their temperaments are completely different. Sister Zheng is an empress who looks down upon the world.

She is not just a mature and beautiful woman who holds great power, commandes millions of soldiers, sweeps across the six kingdoms, chases the Xiongnu in the north, conquers Baiyue in the south, and has been in power for a long time. Her status as a ruler has made her every move with An indescribable nobility and majesty.

As for the princess Hu Yan, although she looks beautiful and looks like a young political sister, her temperament is a little too immature, mischievous and naughty, and she is just a little girl with weird spirits.

Being caught by Sister Zheng, Hu Yan looked like a child who made a mistake, kneeling in front of the desk, looking at Sister Zheng with a low eyebrow.

Sister Zheng smiled lightly and said, "Okay, don't pretend, how can you hide it from me?"

Hu Yan suddenly started to smile, and put his arms around Sister Zheng's arm in a fawning manner: "Hehehe, don't be angry, mother. I'm just curious and just took a look."

Sister Zheng waved lightly, and Gong'e beside her quickly stepped forward, tidied up the messy phoenix couch, and handed over the box.

When I opened it, I saw that there was only less than half of the box full of toffee left.

Sister Zheng took a look at Hu Tan with a half-smile: "That's what you said if you took a second look, and if you look at it a little longer, wouldn't there be none left?"

"Oh, my lord..."

Hu Hai pouted coquettishly.

Sister Zheng shook her head helplessly, and picked up a piece of toffee in her hand: "Is this white thing delicious? Have you eaten so much?"

Hu Yan nodded lightly, and licked his lips with his small tongue, as if he was reminiscing: "Master, what kind of dessert is this? Where is the cook making it? The sweet taste is really delicious."

Sister Zheng glanced at the box in her hand in surprise, and facing Hu Tan's twinkling eyes, said softly: "This is not made by any cook, but I am visiting a strange person who is hiding in the market. A gift for me."

Hu Yan's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "The strange man, my lord, where does the strange man live?"

Seeing the way her eyes rolled, Sister Zheng joked, "Why, do you want to snatch a man in the street and bring it back to your husband-in-law?"

Hu Tan's fair and pretty face was blushing: "Oh, what are you talking about, mother, I won't be so unreserved."

Sister Zheng twitched her lips, and gave her a funny look: "Don't I understand your thoughts? Once you see something delicious and fun, you can't help but want to grab it back. Who couldn't grab it because of the dim sum?" Sister, did you just sit on the ground and cry out in anger?"

Hu Yanqiao's face flushed red, she pulled Sister Zheng's arm in shame, and said softly, "My lord~"

Sister Zheng smiled: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything."

Hu Yan's complexion improved a lot.

Sister Zheng was playing with the toffee in her hand, and a strange look flashed in her phoenix eyes: "But this man is indeed a great talent, if you can really snatch him back, I won't be too happy in my heart."

"Great talent?!"

Hu Tan glanced at Sister Zheng in surprise.

She knows how high her mother's eyes are on people. Anyone who is praised by her mother is a person who has made great achievements for the court. She never thought that this mysterious and strange person could make her mother think so highly of her. .

Hu Yan rolled his eyes: "My lord, if I can bring this person back, how can you reward me?"

"This person's knowledge is extraordinary, and he is definitely not an ordinary person. If he can be used by me, he will definitely become a minister of the humerus of the imperial court in time."

Sister Zheng paused, and said with a smile: "But this Bai Su is not an easy person to deal with. How about it, haven't you been envious of my chasing wind for a long time? If you can bring him back, I will take that horse gave it to you."

"Really!!!"

Hu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

You know, that horse Zhuifeng is my mother's favorite horse. Its hair is black and bright, it gallops thousands of miles and sweeps dust, and its wading through water and climbing mountains is like a flat bottom. She has long been envious for more than a day or two.

Now hearing that Sister Zheng is willing to give it to her, I feel a burst of joy in my heart.

"Don't be too happy, I haven't finished my words yet."

Sister Zheng glanced at her with her phoenix eyes, and said with a smile: "That Bai Su was punished by the court for taking part in the weapon fighting and was taken to build the Great Wall outside the Great Wall for a period of time, so he had a lot of resistance to the court, and he never wanted to be an official."

"So you can make friends with him, but you must not reveal my identity. I will need to use this identity to communicate with him in the future."

Hu Yan's slender eyebrows frowned slightly: "Don't reveal your identity, it sounds like a lot of trouble."

Sister Zheng looked at her hesitant look, pondered for a moment and said: "By the way, I remember that Bai Su is very proficient in food. Not only does he have this kind of dim sum in his hand, but he can also make a kind of food called hot pot." , the taste is very delicious, compared to the imperial chef in Xianyang Palace, it is more than a hundred times stronger, and I will never forget it for a long time."

"Cough cough..."

Hu Yan coughed lightly, and looked at Sister Zheng seriously: "Then... that mother, the hot pot is not important, I just want to meet this great talent in the market."

Chapter 12 If you look down and don't see your toes, you will be the best in the world

On the noisy street.

Bai Su raised his head slightly and looked at the woman in front of him: "Miss, do you want to buy a box?"

The delicate-looking woman smiled brightly: "I heard that the box here contains touching words. As long as you buy a box, you can tie a red rope for marriage with the person you like. Is it true?"

Bai Su nodded, and said with a smile: "That's natural. In this exquisite treasure box of mine, there are countless words of lovesickness hidden. As long as a mere two hundred words, it can help the young lady pass on the lovesickness and tie up the marriage."

"Then help me pick one."

The woman looked at the detached and free-spirited Bai Su, and couldn't help asking curiously: "I don't know what kind of woman the young master likes."

"Everyone likes different types..."

Bai Su said with a smile: "Some people think that mature and plump wives are the most beautiful. They are well-educated, sensible, and sensible. Just pat them lightly, and they will know what you think in your heart, and they will bend down proactively."

"And some people think that young girls are more beautiful, youthful, lively, dexterous and charming, and your eyes are full of you."

"But it seems to me that these are only the pedantic views of the world."

The woman wondered: "I don't know what kind of woman the young master thinks is the most beautiful?"

Bai Su handed the box to the woman's hand, and said seriously: "In my opinion, the one who looks down and sees the toes is the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Why did you just say that looking down and not seeing your toes is the most beautiful thing in the world?"

Suddenly, there was a clear girl's voice behind her.

Bai Su subconsciously turned around to look, and saw a girl in a red skirt looking at him suspiciously.

The girl has a pair of rare eyes of different colors, very lively and expressive, fair skin, slender eyebrows like willows, red lips like red lips, black hair pulled up high, and a delicate hairpin pinned to it.

The whole person looks like a classical girl who stepped out of the picture scroll, but her eyes blinked, and she didn't look very smart.

It was Hu Yan who came.

She had just come here, when she heard Bai Su's last words, she felt a burst of doubt in her heart.

This woman is absolutely gorgeous, what does it have to do with not being able to see her toes?

She looked down at her toes, and her delicate toes squirmed in the boots for a long time. She couldn't figure out the relationship between the two for a long time. Out of curiosity, she couldn't help asking aloud.

Originally, she wanted to come here with Sister Zheng, but the recent reforms in the imperial court required a lot of government affairs, and my mother couldn't get away for a while.

In desperation, she had no choice but to follow the address given by her mother and search all the way.

Of course, there must be accompanying guards hidden in the crowd behind him.

During this period of time, a lot of gramophone boxes were sold, and thanks to this ingenious and wonderful object, Bai Su had a little reputation in the local area, so Hu Bin quickly found it.

I wanted to strike up a conversation, but I heard a strange statement from Bai Su.

Bai Su came back to his senses, and faced the girl's puzzled eyes.

He lowered his eyes slightly, glanced at the girl's slightly green development, and said with a smile: "Well, when you grow up, you will understand."

Hu Tan tilted his little head, and a bunch of question marks appeared on his head: "Why do you want to do it later?"

But Bai Su smiled mysteriously: "This is where the heart is, where people are going."

Hu Tanliu frowned, did not understand the meaning of Bai Su's words, and immediately said disdainfully: "Cut, pretending to be mysterious, I think you are just talking nonsense, in fact, you have no talent at all."

She wondered for a moment, whether the mother was deceived by this strange guy, who obviously looked ordinary, without the demeanor of an outsider at all.

But Bai Su chuckled: "A man can bend or stretch, grow or short, hard or soft, especially for someone like me whose hands are difficult to grasp, how much talent is so easy to see."

Hu Yan snorted softly: "Who knows, hey, how did you make this box, and why does it make noise?"

She just saw that woman, turned the rocker, and a man's voice came out of this wooden box, and she was suddenly surprised, this thing is really amazing.

Bai Su said solemnly: "Naturally, I grabbed the sound, and when it didn't react, I locked it in the box, so I could make the sound."

Hu Hai opened his eyes wide in surprise, with an incredible expression on his face: "It's true!!!"

"of course it's true."

Bai Su nodded, and said solemnly: "It's not easy to make this kind of ingenious thing. It was supposed to sell for [-] Wen. I think it's destined for you. I'll give you a discount and sell it to you for [-] Wen."

"You are really lying to me. Just now you only sold two hundred Wen, but now you want to sell me two thousand Wen."

Hu Yan stared straight at him with jewel-like eyes, with an angry expression on his face.

Bai Su scratched his cheek in embarrassment, he didn't expect to be seen by her just now.

Hu Yan snorted softly, rolled his eyes, and seemed to think of something: "By the way, do you have any delicious snacks here?"

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Dim sum...you mean toffee?"

Hu Hai's eyes lit up, and a look of excitement flashed across his pretty face: "That's right, how do you sell your toffee, I want to buy it."

Bai Su sized her up and asked tentatively, "What's your relationship with Miss Zhao?"

"I... I'm her sister." Hu Yan rolled his eyes and said.

"Sister, no wonder you look so familiar."

Bai Su nodded, but he didn't have much doubt in his heart.

After all, the girl in front of me is indeed seven points similar to Ms. Zhao. At first glance, she looks like a young version of Ms. Zhao.

It's just that Ms. Zhao looks very shrewd, as if she has a mysterious veil on her body. I don't know if it's because her figure is too plump and plump, and she is too far away from her atrium, so people can't see through her thoughts at all.

As for the younger sister in front of her, both in body and in mind, she is obviously much younger, and she is very simple and easy to understand.

"Since they are all acquaintances, there is no need to give money. I will give you some later."

After pondering for a moment, Bai Su said.

He has been very unlucky recently. The system draws a lottery for every good item. He has won a lot of guaranteed small gifts and snacks, so he can give her some later.

"Hey, are you a pretty nice person?"

When Hu Tan heard that Bai Su was going to take the initiative to give it to her, there was a look of surprise on his face. Bai Su's originally annoying face suddenly became a lot more handsome, no matter how you look at it, it is pleasing to the eye.

Thinking of the task her mother entrusted to her, she rolled her eyes: "Do you want to mess with me, I... my distant relative is an official, and I will recommend it to you when the time comes."

Bai Su glanced at Hu Tan strangely, the Zhao sisters all looked the same, they all wanted to recommend him to be an official.

He shook his head: "No, I'm too lazy to be an official."

Hu Yan stared straight at Bai Su, and said, "A majestic man, if you have no ambition at all, don't you want to make meritorious deeds and have a beautiful wife in your arms?"

"I already have Miss Zhao, why do I need her, or..."

Bai Su turned his head and looked at Hu Tan playfully: "You little sister-in-law, do you want to be my little wife?"

"Hey……!!!"

Facing Bai Su's slowly approaching face, Hu Tan's strange eyes froze for a moment, and a cute expression appeared on his face.

Chapter 13 The Beauty Trick of a Political Sister

Xianyang Palace.

Sister Zheng sat in front of the table, gently put down the memorial she had reviewed in her hand, and glanced at Hu Tan with her phoenix eyes: "You have met him, how do you feel?"

Hu Yan tilted his head: "He's a really annoying guy."
