I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 374 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meet
Marketing methods.

I can understand each word, but what does it mean when put together?
Not only Zhao Pan'er was puzzled, but even Zhao Heng was the same, with a forehead full of question marks.

Unfortunately, Liu Wan had no intention of explaining. She slowly put down the teacup, looked at Zhao Pan'er and said, "I heard that you are good at making tea. Can you show us?"

Zhao Pan'er smiled faintly and nodded, "Please wait a moment. I will order you a cup of Jiujiu Guiyuan Tea."

After saying that, Zhao Pan'er took Sun Sanniang out of the private room.

"Pan'er, who are they? I was so scared just now that I didn't dare to say a word. They are more majestic than the rich and powerful children who usually come to our store." Sun Sanniang said in a low voice, patting her chest.

Zhao Pan'er shook her head: "I don't know either. Anyway, judging from the posture, he must be a powerful person in Tokyo City. I think he was attracted by our propaganda just like those children of powerful people."

A lot of effort had been put into publicity before, and on weekdays many children of powerful people came to drink tea and have fun.

These people were just curious at first, but as time went by, they probably wanted to do so because they were attracted by their beauty, especially the beauty of Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang.

However, these children of the powerful and wealthy in Tokyo City are still quite well-educated.

At least, that's what Sun Sanniang thought.

For example: The Prince of Anping said two days ago that he wanted to take Pan'er as his concubine, but he did nothing after being rejected.

Sun Sanniang nodded, looked back at the closed door, and whispered, "Pan'er, I think the way that lady looked at you was a little strange. Do you know her?"

"I don't know her." Zhao Pan'er naturally felt the displeasure in Liu Wan's eyes, and she was actually very confused.

"Then you have to be careful, these big shots are the most difficult to serve."

Zhao Pan'er temporarily suppressed the doubts in her heart and smiled: "Yes, I know, but don't worry, I carry the token that His Highness gave me with me, it's okay."

Sun Sanniang felt relieved when she heard this. After all, in Tokyo City, there were not many people who dared not to give face to Prince Han.

"By the way, how are you and His Royal Highness the King of Han doing recently? I see that you are in a good mood recently. Are you..."

Zhao Pan'er blushed and interrupted hurriedly, "Don't talk nonsense. Your Highness and I are just friends. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go get the tea set."

After a while, she went upstairs with a brocade box.

After knocking on the door, Zhao Paner heard a "come in" sound from the private room and then pushed the door open.

She took out the teacups from the brocade box and introduced them while demonstrating her tea-making skills: "These nine teacups, one secret color, one powder green, one plum green, one red kiln change, one black, one white, one beige ice crack, one sky blue, and one rabbit hair color. Ming, Yue, Tang, Deng, Yao, Chai, Rao, Longquan, Ding, from the Tang Dynasty to the present dynasty, all the nine-color famous porcelains loved by the palace are here. They are made with the official favorite dragon and phoenix tea, so they are named Jiujiu Guiyuan. Please come in!"

Zhao Heng didn't expect that he still had his own business, and he couldn't help but be stunned. How come he didn't know what kind of Longfengtuan tea he liked?
However, he didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhao Pan'er with a strange expression, then sipped the tea with a smile.

Liu Wanze did not move, staring at Zhao Pan'er and smiling, "You can actually collect so many treasures, which is unique in Tokyo. But, shopkeeper, where did you get so many famous porcelains?"

At once, many thoughts flashed through Zhao Pan'er's mind, and finally she said carefully: "These are what I have collected in Jiangnan over the years."

Liu Wan sneered: "I heard that you are the daughter of a convicted official and were once a slave, but you are able to collect so many famous porcelains. It seems that your father is not a good official either."

Hearing this, Zhao Paner became furious.

"My lady, I don't know who you are, but my father is a good official. You can insult me, but you can't insult my father."

"Presumptuous, you..."

An angry shout sounded behind her. Liu Wan turned around and took back the other party's next words.

Then, she looked at Zhao Pan'er and said, "If your father is a good official, then you mean that the government made a wrong judgment?"

"I didn't say that."

Although Zhao Pan'er said this, she actually always believed in her heart that her father's case was a wrong judgment by the government.

Zhao Heng tasted three cups of tea and said with a smile, "It is indeed the so-called tribute tea, Jiujiu Guiyuan. It tastes really good. Madam Zhao, your tea is not cheap, right?"

Zhao Pan'er showed a slightly ugly smile: "Three hundred coins, and just like the peach blossom tea fruit, only ten sets are sold every day."

"Three hundred coins, it's really not cheap." Zhao Heng smiled and suddenly said, "That brat Zhao Wei investigated your father's case a few days ago. Your father is indeed a good official, but I didn't make a mistake in his case. Although he is a good official, he did disobey my order."

Dare to call Zhao Wei a bad boy and even call himself "I". Zhao Pan'er had no idea who the two people in front of her were and fell to her knees with a thud.

"I, Zhao Pan'er, pay my respects to the emperor and the queen."

At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and Zhao Wei hurried in with Shuangxi and the commander of the personal guards Liu Sheng.

"Father, Mother, what are you doing?" Zhao Wei said as he helped Zhao Pan'er up.

Hearing the anxiety in her son's tone, Liu Wan suddenly became angry for no reason: "You came so quickly, are you afraid that I will bully your lover?"

"Mom, you are the best. How could you possibly bully your future daughter-in-law?" Zhao Wei said, and gave Zhao Heng a look, asking him to help persuade his mother.

Unfortunately, Zhao Heng not only pretended not to see it, but also added fuel to the fire, sighing in a pretentious manner: "Alas, it is said that girls cannot be kept when they grow up. Now it seems that once this son grows up, he cannot be kept either."

"I saw the same thing." Liu Wan said with dissatisfaction, looking at Zhao Wei with a bit of resentment in her eyes, which scared Zhao Wei so much that he quickly lowered his head and dared not speak again, lest the situation become worse.

After all, harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has rarely been seen since ancient times.

Of course, this is normal. After all, for a woman, the most important things in life are her husband and children. Suddenly a strange woman appears and takes away the son they have raised with great effort. This hostility cannot be easily resolved.

At this time, the first impression of the daughter-in-law in the eyes of the mother-in-law becomes very important.

If the first impression is good, then the hostility in the mother-in-law's heart will be slightly reduced. On the other hand, if the first impression is not good, then there will be trouble in the future.

At that time, the son will be caught between his mother and his wife, and he will be in a real dilemma.

Liu Wan snorted and turned her head slightly to look at Zhao Paner: "Raise your head."

After learning of Liu Wan's identity, Zhao Pan'er was walking on thin ice. She stood beside Zhao Wei with her head lowered in a proper manner. She finally understood the reason for Liu Wan's previous dissatisfied look.

To be honest, if her own son found a woman with the same birthdate as her, she would also be dissatisfied.

Now hearing what Liu Wan said, Zhao Paner hurriedly raised her head, lowered her eyebrows and looked submissive as much as possible, hoping to dissolve the hostility in the heart of her beloved mother.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire private room seemed to freeze.

Before Liu Wan spoke again, Zhao Pan'er didn't dare to speak rashly. She could only let Liu Wan look at her like a piece of merchandise.

At this moment, Zhao Pan'er was feeling very nervous and wanted to look at Zhao Wei beside her to get some encouragement from his eyes, but she didn't dare to look up in the end. She just held her breath, lowered her head and stood there quietly.

After a long while, Liu Wan finally spoke.

"She is really a beauty. No wonder she can make you so dazed." Liu Wan said, looking at Zhao Pan'er with a little envy and even a little jealousy. After all, Zhao Pan'er's jade-like white skin really made her, who was already over 40 years old, envious. Zhao Heng nodded in agreement: "She is indeed a rare beauty. This brat has as good taste as I do. He is worthy of being my son."

Liu Wan snorted when she heard this and asked Zhao Pan'er, "How old are you?"

Zhao Pan'er was relieved by this. She bowed to Liu Wan and replied stiffly, "Your Majesty, I am twenty-three this year."

Zhao Wei also took the opportunity to speak, with a flattering smile on his face: "Mom, I am twenty years old this year, and she is three years older than me. As the saying goes, a woman who is three years older than you is rich, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Wan interrupted with a cold face: "Did I let you speak?"

Zhao Wei was helpless and called out "Zhao Heng".

"Father."

"Don't call me. I don't care about this." Zhao Heng looked like he was watching a show without any concern for himself. "I won't break my promise to you. Today I am here to accompany your mother to relax."

One of the two most important men in her life finally stood by her side. Liu Wan felt better. "I heard you are engaged?"

"Earlier, His Royal Highness the King of Han helped me get the letter of withdrawal of engagement."

Zhao Pan'er was not surprised that Liu Wan knew these things. After all, as the mother of a country, it was very easy to find out the truth about her.

Liu Wan nodded and turned to look at Zhao Wei: "Take your father out for a walk, and I will have a private talk with the shopkeeper."

"mother……"

Liu Wan glared: "Huh?"

Seeing that Zhao Heng had stood up, Zhao Wei had no choice but to take his father the emperor out of the private room with a helpless look on his face.

As for the people who accompanied them, except Liu Wan's personal maid, everyone else also withdrew.

Zhao Wei looked back at the closed door and complained, "Father, you don't keep your word."

"How can I not keep my word? I have no objection to you marrying her. It is your mother who wants to come and see her. I am just accompanying her for a walk." Zhao Heng smiled with some gloating: "Okay, your mother is sensible and will not do anything to her. Take me around. I have been in the palace for these years and have not had a good look at Tokyo City."

"Shuangxi, you stay and wait."

Zhao Wei gave an order and took Zhao Heng downstairs and left the teahouse.

Ma Xing Street was still quite lively. Zhao Heng, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, was curious about everything and was quite emotional. After all, since he became emperor, he had not strolled around Tokyo City like this for a long time.

After just a short stroll, he was coaxed by a horse dealer into paying for a horse.

Riding on his horse, looking at the passers-by, Zhao Heng suddenly asked: "You said that if we go to Fengshan at this time, will the court object?"

Zhao Wei, who was leading the horse, paused and asked, "Why do you think of Fengshan again?"

After the signing of the Treaty of Chanyuan, Zhao Heng mentioned the Fengshan ceremony once, but the seven-year-old Zhao Wei strongly opposed it. Not only did he persuade Zhao Heng himself, but he also asked Ke Zheng and court officials to put pressure on Zhao Heng to oppose it, which made Zhao Heng give up the idea of ​​Fengshan.

Zhao Heng sighed: "I feel my health is getting worse day by day. If I don't go now, I'm afraid I won't have another chance in this life."

Zhao Wei's face changed: "Did you take the elixir again?"

"No, didn't you say that the elixir is poisonous? I have never eaten it."

Seeing Zhao Heng's guilty look, Zhao Wei said angrily: "The pill is poisonous. You have tested it yourself. Why don't you listen to my advice? Follow the medicinal diet I gave you and slowly..."

No father wants to be taught a lesson by his son, so Zhao Heng naturally didn't want to either, and interrupted with an unhappy look on his face, "I am your father."

"I didn't say you weren't." Zhao Wei rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to go to Fengshan, I will definitely oppose it. With your little achievements, how can you be qualified to go to Taishan to offer sacrifices to the gods?"

If we were to ask what impressed him most about Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng in official history, it would undoubtedly be one thing.

The last emperor to be enthroned at Mount Tai.

Throughout ancient history, there were not many emperors who went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods, but those emperors who could go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods all had great achievements. They either unified the country and pacified the troubled times, or wiped out the barbarians and created a prosperous era. They were all famous emperors.

The only funny thing was Emperor Zhenzong of Song. In terms of civil governance, he was mediocre and had nothing outstanding. In terms of military achievements, he was attacked by the Liao Kingdom and had to fight a defensive war. Even though he won the war, he was forced to sign the "Chanyuan Alliance", a humiliating treaty that required the loser to pay annual tribute.

But he had the nerve to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and he even forged the Book of Heaven and spent lavishly, making it known to the world. As a result, although there were still emperors who went to Mount Tai in later generations, no one of them offered sacrifices to heaven and earth there.

Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, the emperor who terminated the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai.

Zhao Wei was unable to influence the Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng in official history, but he firmly opposed the Zhao Heng in this fictional world who wanted to perform Fengshan.

Zhao Heng was very dissatisfied with Zhao Wei's statement: "Why am I not qualified? Look at the Song Dynasty today. Isn't it more prosperous than the Han and Tang Dynasties?"

"Let's not talk about the distant past. Let's take the Tang Dynasty for example. Emperor Taizong of Tang conquered the Turks and created the Zhenguan Reign. Can you compare him to him? Have you ever seen any emperor in history who paid tribute to the barbarians?"

"You...bastard!"

Seeing that his father was really angry, Zhao Wei softened his tone and said, "I have no objection to your Fengshan ceremony, but you must at least recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and achieve something that neither Taizong nor Taizu could do."

"The Liao Kingdom is powerful..."

Zhao Wei interrupted, "Give me five years, and I will recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and let you go to Mount Tai in glory."

Zhao Heng was stunned: "Five years, you are confident?"

"If you fail to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun within five years, I will bring my head to you."

"What do I want your head for? But if you can't do it, I will make your brother the crown prince." Zhao Heng smiled. He had never seen through this son, but he always had a feeling that this son was not an ordinary person.

It was a very strange feeling, as if this son was born to be a hero.

He still remembers it now. Although the baby was just born not long ago, his aura was so great that even an emperor like him felt terrified.

Therefore, he was always on guard against Zhao Wei, but at the same time he was willing to give Zhao Wei great power and let Zhao Wei venture into the northwest.

And the facts proved that his feeling was not wrong. A thirteen-year-old child, without the support of the court, not only defeated the Dingnan Army in Xiazhou, but also recovered the land of two states.

Zhao Wei hummed calmly, and while leading the horse forward, he said, "That little guy Zhao Zhen is not bad, but he is a little weak."

Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Do you despise my throne so much?"

"It's not a question of whether I look down on you or not, it's a question of whether you are willing to give it to me. If you don't want to give it to me, I can't just snatch it away from you."

"You... Humph, I'm not interested anymore, go back.
