61. Princess Yin's promise
King Chilie and Princess Yin learned that their son had entered the city today, and they were already waiting at the gate of the palace to greet them. Ning Jincheng rode a tall horse and accepted the cheers all the way, he was already fluttering, and he didn't know what day it was. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw the princess crying and looking forward to him, and he hadn't come out of the good atmosphere that I was a hero of the world, until Ning Xiangzhi called "brother" happily, his eyes were red, he jumped off the horse, and threw himself into the princess's arms.
"Mother, I'm back!"
With another snort, he turned to Ning Changyi, "Dad, the child didn't embarrass you." ”
The gate of the palace suddenly made noise with gongs and drums, and firecrackers rang out in unison, welcoming the return of the little master.
Wang Erya got out of the carriage and stood far away, watching the family of four reunited.
Princess Yin was haggard and thinner than the last time she saw her, and Ning Xiangzhi's eyes were also red and swollen, presumably due to the time when Ning Jincheng was ordered to go to Kongcheng County, and they were scared day by day.
Ning Changyi she had never seen it before, she had only heard that he was a beautiful man with both civil and military skills and extraordinary bearing, and when she saw it today, she was worthy of the rumors. The man had a tired face, but his eyes were full of bright smiles, and he hugged his son, so excited that he couldn't speak.
Ning Jincheng's family, in modern times, is also extremely harmonious and happy.
Wang Erya was a little envious, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. The parents who raised her don't know if they will have a chance to meet each other in this life, and where are the relatives who gave birth to her?
She was still secretly sad, and Princess Yin had already walked in front of her. Wang Erya was a little embarrassed, saluted, and said, "Erya has seen the princess, that ...... In the past, it was Erya's rudeness. ”
Princess Yin took her hand and held it in her hand, and patted it gently, "It's okay." Cheng'er was able to return safely this time, all thanks to you, the second girl. From now on, you will be the benefactor of my family. ”
The benefactor of the palace, Wang Erya felt a little unbearable, and hurriedly excused himself: "Where is the princess, you will torture me if you say this." The little prince saved me in the past, and I don't know how to say goodbye without saying goodbye, but now it's just a personal favor. ”
Princess Yin took her hand and walked into the door, "He helped you just by raising his hands, but you helped him at the risk of losing his head, how can you compare." You don't have to be polite to me, I, Yin Longyin, have always had clear grievances, and I won't treat a good boy like you badly. ”
Having said this, it would be hypocritical to resign, Wang Erya had to thank her, and followed the princess into the palace.
Meng Tianchu was still standing stupidly outside, Wang Erya turned his head to give him a look, "Why are you stunned, don't you follow quickly." ”
Princess Yin hadn't seen him, so she asked who it was. Wang Erya only said that he was his friend Mr. Jiajiao, and he relied on his escort to help him go to Kongcheng County this time.
Princess Yin nodded, it turned out that she was also a meritorious person, but she was negligent and invited him to enter the mansion together.
The Chilie Mansion is not as luxurious and rich as the Leyi Palace, and the area is much smaller, but because of the small number of people, it is quieter and more elegant than the Leyi Palace.
Wang Erya and Meng Tianchu were arranged in the guest room of the East Courtyard. Soon after settling down, the maid came to pass the word, saying that Princess Yin had asked her to talk about it. She followed the maid to Princess Yin's residence.
There was only Princess Yin in the house, and Ning Jincheng probably followed the prince. The princess pulled her to sit down, first said some considerate gossip, and then asked Meng Tianchu. ninth
"I heard Cheng'er say that your friend was originally a guard hired by you, and he is still a rare master, I don't know where you found the second girl.
Wang Erya knew in her heart that although the princess was her benefactor, there were some places where she still had doubts about herself, and she called herself here today, I'm afraid it was just a small chat. Her head was racing, how to make her words as credible as possible without revealing the secrets of the two of them.
"I didn't go to find it on purpose, it's really a coincidence. He was a ranger, and I was robbed by bandits, but fortunately he rescued me. Later, when he learned that his mother was seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment, he gave him all the money he had saved. He thanked me in his heart, and when he saw that I was alone, he volunteered to stay behind to protect me. ”
Princess Yin nodded thoughtfully, "You two are both good children who value love and righteousness." ”
After saying this, he said: "Cheng'er also said that the prescription for preventing smallpox by planting cowpox into the human body was sponsored by you, but I don't know where you learned about it. If it is so effective, can it not be done by the whole country? ”
Nonsense, we have been making trouble for thousands of years, and it has only been discovered in the past two hundred years, where did you hear that it is really cheap for you now.
Wang Erya could only continue to make up, "I heard an old man say before that cattle farmers are often infected by cowpox, giving birth to the same pox blisters as smallpox, but the symptoms are much milder than smallpox, and they are not life-threatening. He also said that these people later encountered smallpox and never contracted again. ”
"So based on hearsay alone, you can assume that people who have cowpox won't get smallpox again." Although the ending was good, the princess couldn't help but feel that her approach was still a little sloppy.
"Of course...... No direct conclusions. In order to verify, I tried it myself, and let myself be infected with cowpox first, and later, I was not infected with smallpox again, so I let the little prince use it on the people. ”
"You, you even risked your own safety to test it yourself!" The princess was clearly unexpected.
"For the sake of the people of Anguo, in order to repay the little prince for saving his life, everything is what I should do......" Wang Erya's voice became smaller and smaller, and the more she spoke, the more she spoke, the more empty her heart became, did I set up my image too high.
Princess Yin's face was complicated, she closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Second girl, in my eyes, you have always been a smart and intelligent girl, but I didn't know that you still have such a benevolent heart to save the world.
I know you have a lot of secrets, and I've always been suspicious of your intentions, but now it seems that it is my villain's heart. I don't know what you're hiding, but if you do that, you won't be a person who does something shady. I choose to believe that you have hardships and believe in your character, and in the future, I will not test you again. ”
It's really crooked, this Princess Yin seems to have suspected her for more than a day, and now she can say it openly and honestly, which means that after this incident and Wang Erya's statement just now, she has dispelled her doubts about herself.
Now that people have shown sincerity, shouldn't they be honest?
Wang Erya thought for a while and said, "Erya really failed to be fully honest with the princess and the little prince, because I also don't know much about some things, and I don't understand them very well, so it's inconvenient to talk to others." I can only assure the princess that she has never had the intention of harming anyone. If one day, I can learn the whole story, I will not dare to hide it anymore. ”
Princess Yin asked, "What are you talking about, but what did you say about your memory?" ”
Wang Erya nodded.
"Since the imperial court has verified that you have not betrayed my Da'an Kingdom before, you must not have been a traitor and a great evildoer." Princess Yin pondered for a moment and said, "As long as you haven't done anything harmful to the people of the country, even if you have done something harmful to others, I will try my best to help you." ”
This is a very heavy commitment. Wang Erya hurriedly got up and made a big salute, "Thank you princess, Erya will definitely live up to the princess's trust." ”
