Chapter 48: Compassion

"Wang Cheng, Nangong Jin'an once said such a sentence, she said that what she yearns for is a free life, a lord and a mother, and everyone is an equal life."

"Originally, I didn't understand what equality was and what it meant to be equal."

"I didn't know until you just made this move. Why she wants everyone to live as equals, because it's a respect, it's a respect for each other and for each other. Ling Changwu said as he supported Wang Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground.

Before Wang Cheng could stand up straight, Ling Changwu continued, "Wang Cheng, if you really like this girl Qingsui, you go after her now, and when you get married, I will ask my father for a gift, and I will recognize you as my brother-in-law." ”

"I will also give you a few acres of square fields outside the city as a wedding gift, and when the time comes, you and Qingsui will live your own little life, and it will be okay." Ling Changwu said with envy.

Originally, he only wanted to live such an idyllic life with Nangong Jin'an, but Nangong Jin'an wanted too much.

"Lord Wang...... It's just ...... "Wang Cheng didn't know what to say, after all, he didn't even know what kind of feelings he had for Qingsui now.

"Wang Cheng, you don't have so much, but so much, as long as you want, you can do it, I won't blame you in any way, you go now, I will also go to Nangong Mansion, I think Nangong Jin'an's mood is not very good now." Ling Changwu looked distressed.

He knows better than anyone what kind of person Nangong Jin'an is, even on weekdays, Nangong Jin'an has always trusted Qingsui and Chen's mother.

However, now that such a thing has happened, how can Nangong Jin'an's heart not be sad, and how can he not be sad.

Wang Cheng nodded and walked out of the palace.

He didn't know how he felt when he walked out of the palace, and he didn't know what kind of courage forced him to find Qingsui.

But suddenly, his legs seemed to be out of the palace like a ghost.

Walking towards the street, he hoped to see a familiar figure in the crowd. "Qingsui ......" Wang Cheng gently patted a familiar figure, but when the familiar figure turned around, he found that it was not his most familiar face.

Wang Cheng looked unhappy and said softly, "I'm sorry...... Recognize the wrong person. Wang Cheng suddenly continued to walk forward with a depressed face.

Qing Sui had already seen all this when she stood not far away, and she gently walked behind Wang Cheng and slowly patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm here." Wang Cheng hurriedly turned around, and when he saw Qingsui's familiar face, he was so happy that he seemed to be about to cheer.

Wang Cheng suddenly wanted to hug Qingsui, but he knew that such an action was inappropriate. He could only scratch his head brainlessly and keep rubbing his hands.

"Hmm...... Where are you going? Wang Cheng looked nervous.

He knew that Qingsui had rejected him directly just now, if he was raising such a topic at this time, the answer would already be obvious, Wang Cheng was not such a person, and he didn't want to force Qingsui to do things he didn't like, and he didn't want to accept himself because of his current loss.

Qingsui looked frustrated, and said softly, "I don't know where to go, first find an errand that belongs to me in this city, and then slowly think about what I can do." Qingsui couldn't help but look in the direction of Nangong Mansion in the distance, which used to be the place where she had lived her entire childhood, and now she was leaving.

"If so...... Qingsui girl does not dislike it. I don't know if I can come to our palace to do things, I'...... We still need someone in our house who can polish our swords for us. Wang Cheng said with a shy face.

Qingsui thought about this, and said helplessly, "Wang Cheng, I know that you are good to me, but you should also know that you belong to others in my heart, although there is no way to be with him in this life, but I just want to look at him from afar." ”

"If you've been so nice to me, I'm afraid we won't be able to be friends anymore." Qingsui directly refused and said that he didn't want to have any more entanglements with Wang Cheng.

Although Wang Cheng didn't have any expression on his face, he kept telling himself in his heart that it was impossible between him and Qingsui.

"Miss Qingsui, don't get me wrong, it's the kitchen in our palace, it really lacks a slave now, if you want, I think it's similar to your errand in the Nangong Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Moreover, you can also see the prince every day from time to time." Wang Cheng's last sentence seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.

Perhaps, Wang Cheng really feels that there is no problem for Qingsui to like the prince now, but there is a trace of sadness in his heart, he doesn't know why he feels like this, maybe this is what Ling Changwu said, when you really like someone, you don't like it and don't want anyone to share this love with you.

Wang Cheng secretly thought in his heart, could it be that what the prince and Miss Nangong said was true, and there was nothing false, if they really fell in love with someone, even if they looked at others a little more, they would feel a little sad and sad in their hearts, and they would be a little lost.

Qingsui's eyes suddenly flashed with stars, and she pulled Wang Cheng's sleeve tightly with a happy face and asked solemnly, "What you said, is it true!" I don't want to be angry, I just hope that I can look at the prince from afar every day, even if it is just a glance, I am already satisfied. ”

"It's just ......, our young lady will marry into your palace soon, if she knows that I am working in the palace, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay any longer." Qingsui said with a pitiful face.

Wang Cheng looked at such a small person, she was not sad in her heart, she was so tactful, she had the feeling of jasper next door, but why was she always so devastated by fate.

Wang Cheng's heart couldn't help but feel sorry for Qingsui, and he began to have a trace of compassion.

"Miss Qingsui, if I can make Miss Nangong never be able to pay attention to you, are you willing to go back to the palace with me on an errand." Wang Cheng looked forward to it.

At this moment, Wang Cheng seemed to be a different person, he knew that if he did this, it would make his prince particularly embarrassed, but he still chose to do such a thing.

I'm afraid that this incident is the first time in Wang Cheng's life that he has done something contrary to his own prince.

Qingsui nodded again and again, in fact, Qingsui's heart didn't care if her young lady knew that she was on an errand in the palace, but this was just a kind of revenge and unwillingness on her part.

Wang Cheng's face was happy, thinking that as long as he could see the woman he liked from a distance, even if he knew that there was no result between him and Qingsui, he would be happy.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Nangong Jin'an lay on the bed, tossing and turning. In any case, she couldn't sleep.

Suddenly, a picture of another person appeared in her mind, maybe it was the original owner's own thoughts and reluctance, after all, Qingsui's existence was a ray of light in her memory.

The memories of her and Qingsui all poured out in their heads, and their hearts were very sad.

That year, Qingsui was still a little girl, in the cold winter, she held a wooden plank, knelt lifelessly outside the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Nangong, and wrote a few big characters on the plaque with her own blood, that is, "Sell yourself to bury your father!" ”

And the housewife at that time was still holding Nangong Jin'an, who was still in swaddling clothes, and she gently stepped forward to look at Qingsui who was kneeling on the ground.

I saw the young woman, her face was innocent, and the sadness under her eyes was obvious.

My mother thought in her heart that after so many years, she had never seen such a clean face again.

The intrigue in Nangong Du is deceitful, although she doesn't want to get involved, but these things will always find her for no reason.

Although there are not as many as the backyard of the palace, they are not much less than them.

Mother stepped forward and said softly, "Raise your head and let me look at you so raw." ”

Qingsui bravely raised his head, the stubbornness and unwillingness in his eyes, in fact, Nangong Jin'an should have seen all this a long time ago, Qingsui would never be willing to succumb to others for the rest of his life.

There are not only stars in her eyes, but also ambitions and ambitions, and all of this has already been fully displayed when she knelt at the door of the Nangong Prime Minister's Mansion.

"What a handsome face, but I don't know why I knelt outside my prime minister's mansion overnight in this cold day." The mother's face was gentle.

This is also the first time that Nangong Jin'an has seen her mother's appearance clearly in the memories of the original owner, her handsome face does not have any scheming, and although her delicate face is covered with the vicissitudes of the years, at least she can speak slowly, which makes people sound so comfortable and gentle.

"Returning to Madame's words, my mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, and for so many years I have followed my father to live by begging."

"At the beginning of winter this year, my father was sick and had no medicine to treat, and the family didn't even have any silver taels to go to the doctor to treat my father."

"But just last night, my father left me for the rest of his life. Now I have no choice but to sell myself into slavery so that the Lord can give me some silver taels so that I can bury my father properly. Qingsui cried as she spoke.

"What's your name?" The mother is still that understatement, although there is some sympathy in her eyes, but she has seen too many scenes like this.
