Unexpectedly won the recognition and assurance of the little partridge, Liu Qingyan was a little surprised. She blinked her eyes and whispered to the little partridge, "Do you mean that you will protect me until I die?" ”

"It's not just you," the little partridge looked at her, "and Lu Siguan, the king of Qi." Both of you are good people. ”

She smiled on the collapse: "Lord Wang, he is indeed a very good person, he should be able to live a hundred years, but what about me...... I've done a lot of bad things, but I'm not as good as you say, and I have my own selfishness in what I'm doing today. If I really want to talk about it, I may not be a good person, I am redeemed by the prince. ”

The little partridge shook her head, and was about to say something more, but suddenly closed her mouth and fell silent again.

Liu Qingyan comprehended, looked out the door, and really saw Lu Yujian, Ghost Seeing Sorrow, and Wang Zhao and Dashuang walking in from the outside, everyone's faces were more or less filled with happy smiles.

Behind them, there were two or three young children, who also looked like they were in their early teens.

Liu Qingyan felt strange in her heart, sat up straight on the collapse, responded to everyone's salute, and asked with a smile: "You guys are coming to my side now, do you have anything other than reporting?" ”

Dashuang stepped forward and said, "Back to the princess, those cotton clothes, bedding and coal have been distributed, and the farmers around the capital have basically received such blessings. Some of the peasants were grateful for the kindness of the princess and asked their children to come with us and make a big bow to the princess. ”

Liu Qingyan was curious about what this so-called gift was, but she saw those children come forward one after another, knelt down in front of Liu Qingyan, and kowtowed three times very upright and seriously.

Seeing this, Liu Qingyan couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly got up from the collapse to help these children: "You guys are a big gift?" ”

The ghost said worriedly: "Some farmers are worried about how to pass this winter, but the princess, you send charcoal in the snow, and the courtesy is light and affectionate, but it is just a ringing head, if the princess you say what you want them to do for you now, even if you want them to go to the soup and fire, they will not give up." ”

"Lord Ghost is right," said the young man standing in the middle, "if it weren't for the cotton clothes and bedding sent by the princess, my old mother would not have survived this winter." ”

"Our family too, if we didn't have those things that were sent, we would not have survived......" said another girl with red eyes.

Liu Qingyan looked at the child in front of her who was still very young, but her expression revealed a little precociousness, and she was quite emotional.

I still remember that at her current age, she didn't know anything, and every day she stayed at home, and many other things were taken care of by her. She just needs to continue to be her eldest lady and not have to be afraid of the cold and not have to worry about being hungry. There was even a time when she felt that her life was not perfect.

Now it seems that her life is simply not too perfect. At least at that time, her hands were white and slender in the winter, and the children's hands were already red and swollen from the cold, and their hands were covered with frostbite.

"What are you talking about, that's what I'm supposed to do, you're still so young." Liu Qingyan sighed and said, pulling the children to the stove, "They must all be cold, right?" Come, make a fire, warm up. ”

The children stood in front of the fire, reaching out to keep warm, and everyone had happy smiles on their faces.

Liu Qingyan stood to the side, her expression a little solemn.

Sending cotton clothes, bedding and coal to the peasants was just a selfish and casual move on her part, and she did not expect to receive sincere thanks from these people. At that time, when the children knelt in front of her and kowtowed, Liu Qingyan felt for a moment that what she had done was far from enough.

"Princess, they all really want to thank you," Da Shuang said, "but the families of these children are basically lying in bed for a long time, and they are seriously ill and cannot come in person." ”

"So what do you mean is that these children have already taken on all the responsibilities of the family at such a young age?" Liu Qingyan asked as she looked at the children over there.

Rolling Ball probably heard the commotion here, woke up leisurely, and paced slowly to get warm in front of the fire.

Rolling Ball, who was accustomed to seeing people in the palace, was not afraid of these stinking children at all, and he swaggered over, and even found a warm place among the children to lie down.

The children chattered for a moment, and the bolder child reached out and stroked the back of the ball very lightly. The ball had been very accustomed to being stroked and caressed like this in the palace, and it was just a lazy glance at the child at the moment.

Seeing that the ball was so docile, the children's eyes suddenly lit up, and they began to stroke the ball and play with him. When Liu Qingyan looked over, she saw such a scene.

"Yes, it is said that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and these children should also understand this truth." Big Twin Roads.

Wang Zhao said on the side: "I remember that I was about the same age at that time, and I started to help the family do things. ”

The ghost didn't speak, and he didn't mention what happened to him.

Liu Qingyan, on the other hand, sighed very lightly and did not continue to speak. Instead, she walked towards the children, and when the children saw her, they let go of the ball one after another, and made a not-so-thoughtful salute to Liu Qingyan, and said in unison: "Princess." ”

The voice is still immature.

Liu Qingyan looked at the children in front of her and said softly, "How old are you?" What is your name? ”

The other children were still a little shy, but the young man standing in the center was bold, stepped forward, and took the lead in speaking: "I am twelve years old, and my name is Chunsheng. ”

Liu Qingyan nodded slightly: "Twelve years old, what relatives do you have in your family?" Why did you say thank you? ”

Chunsheng said: "There is only one old mother in my family who depends on me, and the old mother has been sick in bed for half a year, and she can't go out, so she asked me to come and thank the princess." ”

"I see," Liu Qingyan looked at him, "then Chunsheng, let me ask you, what kind of help do you still need me to give your family?" For example, to send you some food rations, or for example, to arrange for you to go to the doctor and so on. ”

Chunsheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at Liu Qingyan with wide eyes: "Princess, do you mean that you will help us?" ”

Liu Qingyan nodded: "Your life is in difficulty, I will help you, isn't this how it should be?" ”

Chunsheng frowned: "But my mother told me that help is mutual, and you can help us now, Princess, but we are not capable of helping Princess." In this case, it is very much like your unilateral charity to us, Princess, and we may ...... such charity There is no way to accept it. ”

Hearing him say this, Liu Qingyan was stunned for a moment.

Chunsheng looked at her seriously and said, "Princess, although I am only a child, there are quite a few things I can understand. I think if we want to help us, those cotton clothes, bedding and coal will be enough. If there is still a need for others, I will work on my own. ”

After being silent for a moment, Liu Qingyan raised the corners of her mouth and showed a smile: "It's okay, after all, you have to use money to buy food, and the doctor has to spend money to invite you." ”

Chunsheng nodded: "That's right, although our family is very poor and has no money now, but when we have money, we will definitely be able to do it." ”

"Ah, speaking of which, the manpower in our palace is really scarce now," Liu Qingyan sighed, "There are some things that those people can't do, if some young children are willing to help me, it would be good." ”

Chunsheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took another step forward and said, "Princess, what kind of things do we need to do?" ”

Liu Qingyan winked at him: "That's all hard things to do, are you sure you can do it?" ”

Chunsheng nodded vigorously: "I can do it, princess, you say, if I can do it, I will work as a helper in the palace, princess, you just give me the salary I deserve." ”

"That's good," Liu Qingyan nodded slightly, "What about our palace, there is a big library pavilion, because the prince has been away from the palace for a long time, so those books are not read for a while, and the library cabinet has been idle for a while, and it must be very dirty." ”

"I'll take care of the princess's library!" Chunsheng took the initiative to say.

Liu Qingyan looked at him: "But the library pavilion is very big, I don't know if you can make a good deal before the prince comes back." ”

Chunsheng was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "Princess, can you let me and my group of friends work together to set up the library pavilion?" We won't damage the books there, and we'll make sure we do a good job. ”

Originally, I thought that Chunsheng would only think about himself, but he even took care of his friends. This child is really more and more surprised and liked by Liu Qingyan.

Liu Qingyan smiled and nodded, "Since this is the case, then you will come to the palace tomorrow to set up some library pavilions." ”

Chunsheng and his friends nodded one after another, and Liu Qingyan continued: "But there is something to pay attention to, that is, I will settle your wages once every three days, and I will give you more if you do well." You come in the morning and go back in the afternoon, you can have three meals in the palace, or you can go back to eat, you can tell the big sister over there what you like to eat. And then there's ......"

Liu Qingyan stretched out her hand and rubbed it on the top of Chunsheng's head: "You can all read the books in the library pavilion, if you don't understand something, you can ask yourself, do you know?" ”

The children nodded their heads.
