Chapter 83: Princess Qinghe
After listening to the reports of Liang Qiu and others, Wei Shuo was very satisfied, and wished him that all his work was carried out in an orderly manner, and the economy, which had been hit hard by the blow to the powerful family, was also slowly recovering.
Later, Wei Shuo discussed his future work with everyone, and after reiterating the importance of the enemy's defense, he made time to rest.
Who knew that not long after lying down, Cao Hong hurried over again, and it turned out that Princess Qinghe had to ask to see Wei Shuo. Cao Hong didn't dare to slack off, so he had to ask Wei Shuo for instructions.
"Alas, what a trouble it is for women!" Wei Shuo muttered in his mouth, and asked impatiently, "Jifu, didn't she say what it was?" ”
"No, I just asked to see the adults."
"Forget it, I'll go there myself, anyway, people are also princesses."
After a while, Wei Shuo came to the courtyard where Princess Qinghe was housed. This is a small courtyard that lives alone, located in the corner of the Assassin's Mansion, and there are many guards standing guard at the door, and Wei Shuo is very satisfied with this situation.
"Squeak!" After the door opened, I saw a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth standing at the door, staring at Wei Shuo from afar, she was the princess Qinghe who was rescued at sea.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't know what to do here?" Wei Shuo came to Princess Qinghe with a smile and asked.
Princess Qinghe looked Wei Shuo up and down, feeling that the young man in front of her was completely different from the officials of the Great Jin family she had met before. When she was in Luoyang, Princess Qinghe had seen a lot of so-called young talents, but none of them could be compared to this young man.
"Lord Wei, Qinghe thanks your lord for saving your life!" Princess Qinghe bowed to Wei Shuo Yingying.
"Hey, princess, what do you mean by that? Hurry up, please! Wei Shuo hurriedly stepped forward and held his hands weakly, and then sighed: "Even if there is no princess among them, I will not stand idly by." They are all Chinese people, how can they be slaves with others? ”
"Anyway, it was Lord Wei who saved Qinghe's life, otherwise I really don't know what kind of encounter Qinghe would encounter. However, at the moment, Qinghe is a ruined country, and in addition to saying something nice, I am afraid that I will not be able to come up with anything to reward the adults. ”
"The princess is polite, and it is convenient to save people in the next place, and she does not want to reciprocate. It just so happens that the princess is also here today, and I have to explain a thing or two to the princess in the next words. ”
"Master Wei has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak, Qinghe listens."
"Although you have always claimed to be a princess, you can't produce any strong evidence, and you can't verify the authenticity of Your Highness's identity. Therefore, we will not announce the news about the princess for the time being, and we can only wait for the confirmation in the future. I hope Your Highness will understand our painstaking efforts. ”
Qinghe listened to Wei Shuo's explanation expressionlessly, it seemed that what Wei Shuo said had nothing to do with her, and he didn't know how long it took before he lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Adults don't have to think about Qinghe, just do what you have to do, Qinghe won't blame adults." Now Qinghe is alone, without relatives, if it is not for adults to take him in, Qinghe really doesn't know where to go. ”
......Faced with the princess's indifferent attitude, Wei Shuo didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he had to stubbornly continue: "If Your Highness doesn't dislike it, you can live in Zhuqi County Magistrate, although the conditions here are simple, but there are nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses guarding it, and the Hu people dare not invade this place for a while." ”
Qinghe has gone through hardships among the people since the city of Luoyang was broken, and she is no longer the royal princess in the palace who is dressed in fine clothes and food, and she has seen the world quite thoroughly. Although she can't fully trust Wei Shuo, she has a little good impression of it.
In addition, Qinghe was not angry at Wei Shuo's suspicion of the truth of her identity. She felt that this was human nature, Wei Shuo didn't use her as an exchangeable tool like others, Qinghe was already very grateful, how could he be angry with Wei Shuo because of a little thing?
"Of course, if the identity of the princess is confirmed, and the princess wants to live elsewhere in the future, she must be arranged. Now that King Langya is sitting in Jianye, if the princess is interested, I can send someone to Jiangdong for a trip. ”
"Koto? Qinghe was almost trafficked to Jiangdong as a slave, and now when he hears about Jiangdong, he feels uncomfortable. For the time being, Qinghe will not go to Jiangdong, if Qinghe chooses, it is better to let Qinghe live in seclusion here. Princess Qinghe's eyes showed a sad look.
This is a decision made by Princess Qinghe after careful consideration, leaving Zhu Qi to go to the territory controlled by the royal family, which seems very promising, but in her opinion, it is too risky to pin all her hopes on the emperor of the clan who has never dealt with him in the slightest. For Qinghe, who has gone through the test of life and death, compared to the ethereal King Langya, Wei Shuo in front of her is the object she can rely on.
"Huh?" Wei Shuo glanced at the other party in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "This little girl is too powerful, first put on a look of being slaughtered by others, and put herself in a relatively weak position to win the sympathy of everyone." Then she simply rejected his proposal to settle in Jiangdong, it seems that she is sure that everyone will not dare to be rude to her! ”
"Why doesn't the princess want to go to Koto? That King Langya is also quite famous, presumably he will not criticize the children of the first emperor, and will definitely make the princess live a good life, isn't it better than staying with us? Cao Hong didn't quite understand Princess Qinghe's choice, so he couldn't help but ask.
"It's not that Qinghe doesn't know what to do, it's really that Qinghe doesn't want to send people under the fence and be at the mercy of others. When I arrived in Jiangdong, although I could enjoy all the glory, I am afraid that I would not be free, and I would not be able to be pointed out by the emperor to an irrelevant person as a wife in the future. When he was in Luoyang before, Qinghe had seen a lot of such things. ”
"After some calamity, Qinghe has seen that what glory and wealth are just a passing cloud, the most important thing is to survive in this troubled world. Besides, I am an orphan girl, and when I arrive in Jiangdong, I don't let outsiders handle it, and I am ignored by others. Princess Qinghe said sarcastically.
Looking at Princess Qinghe's way of seeing through the world, Wei Shuo couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, the tribulation is the most exercised! After this ordeal, the princess, who originally knew nothing about the world, is now not to be underestimated.
Qinghe Guiwei didn't enjoy much glory and wealth as a princess, and when she was young, the world became full of crises. When she became an adult, his father, Emperor Jin Hui, died suddenly, and the whole country fell into chaos. The ministers and the royal family are busy fighting for power and profit, and it is estimated that no one will care about the life or death of a princess.
Presumably at that time, Princess Qinghe saw through the sophistication of human feelings, and later she escaped from Luoyang at the risk of death, but unexpectedly separated from her family halfway. In the end, if she didn't happen to meet Wei Shuo who was returning, Princess Qinghe's fate would have been very tragic. However, it is precisely these tribulations that quickly make it grow.
"Since the princess doesn't want to go to Jiangdong, let's stay here temporarily, if you change your mind in the future, you can come to me directly, and I will send someone to escort the princess to Jiangdong at that time." Wei Shuo made a final decision.
"Thank you so much, Lord Wei."
"Hey, that's nothing!" Wei Shuo waved his hand and said: "It's just that in this way, the princess is afraid that she will suffer some grievances, and I wish it to be a remote and small place, whether it is material conditions or other conditions, I am afraid that it cannot be compared with the rich Jiangdong." ”
"Enjoy? Hehe. Qinghe smiled bitterly and said: "Qinghe is just a princess of a dead country, what kind of enjoyment do you mention, as long as you have something to eat, you will be content." ”
"Look what the princess is talking about! No matter how poor Wei is, he will not lose the princess's food. Wei Shuo joked, and then he was about to say goodbye and leave, when he suddenly thought of something and said: "If the princess stays bored in the courtyard in the future, you can also go to the county town to wander, but you need to tell you in advance to ensure the safety of the princess." ”
"Can I still go outside?" Princess Qinghe's face was full of surprise, originally she thought that she would not be able to leave this courtyard in her life, but she didn't expect Wei Shuo to allow her to go to the county town.
"Well, what do you mean, princess? You are our guest, and you are not a prisoner, so why can't you go outside? Wei Shuo asked with a stunned expression.
Then Wei Shuo and the others left the princess's residence, and before leaving, he instructed Cao Hong to strengthen the princess's defense.
