Chapter Twenty-Six: The Princess of the Kingdom of Yangsu

The Huanju room lives up to its name, the courtyard is full of chrysanthemums of all colors, although it is not the season when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, they are all blooming delicately, tall and short, very good-looking.

The courtyard was very quiet, except for Qinglian and her maidservant Ah Zhu, there was no one else in sight, Cao Ran was taken to the room after being drugged, and it worked very well, and in a moment the red and swollen ankles were already able to move.

"Thank you Miss Qinglian for saving me, Cao Ran is grateful." Cao Ran tiptoed and reluctantly bowed and thanked him.

Qinglian was draped with the cloud shoulders in winter, and her face was tired and tired after only a moment of effort. He folded his shoulders in front of him and said, "How can I turn a blind eye to doing this kind of murder and arson in front of my door." Although my brother never let me out, I knew that the outside world had changed. ”

"Miss Qinglian's body is weak, and the dirt outside is not as quiet as the Huanju room, and His Royal Highness also cares about the girl's body."

Qinglian bowed her head slightly and said with a smile: "I haven't been out for a long time, and a lot of things outside are known from Brother Miao, can you tell me about things outside?" ”

What's going on out there? Cao Ran didn't know what to say for a while, and she didn't know where to start. Do you want to talk about the king's house? She didn't even figure it out herself. Talking about things outside the palace? She didn't know it even more. said that she didn't know, and she was afraid that Qinglian would think that she didn't want to tell her.

After thinking for a moment, he replied euphemistically, "What does Miss Qinglian want to hear about?" I didn't know much about my surroundings just after I arrived. ”

The corners of Qinglian's eyes curled, and she smiled slowly: "Then don't talk about the palace, you know Yangsu Kingdom, right?" Brother Miao said that over the years, the central Soviet State and the Jin State have been well-established, and there are often envoys from the Central Soviet State and the Jin State to communicate with each other, and a few days ago, there were envoys who came over and brought the local unique juice and fresh fruits. ”

Cao Ran said with some embarrassment: "This ...... I haven't heard of this either, and I don't care about the affairs of the country, so I don't know much about it. ”

Ah Zhu on the side listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't listen to it anymore, and handed over the hot tea in his hand after brewing: "Princess, don't ask, she is just a little maid in the house and won't know so much, you see that the juice and fresh fruit brought over last time are big and sweet, this year must be a bumper harvest year, Your Majesty and the people of the Central Su Kingdom must be doing well!" ”

Ah Zhu's words made Cao Ran confused, princess? Yang Su country? Yuwen Xuan's mansion is hiding the princess of a country? "Knock ......" swallowed the tea in his mouth, it was so hot that he almost didn't spit it out.

Qinglian and Ah Zhu noticed Cao Ran's strange appearance and looked at it.

Cao Ran wiped the corners of her mouth with her hand, and her tongue was a little numb from the hot tea: "You are the princess of Yangsu Kingdom?" ”

Qinglian glared at Ah Zhu, secretly blaming her for talking nonsense. turned to Cao Ran with a melancholy expression and said, "Don't say it." I'm a dead man now, no longer a princess. It was Brother Miao who saved me, Brother Miao is the prince of the Jin Kingdom, I am no longer worthy of him now, if others know that there is a dead princess in his house, it will bring him a lot of trouble! ”

Cao Ran nodded sincerely: "I won't say it, you just saved my life, how can I be ungrateful." She really wanted to say something to change the subject, but the most familiar thing she was in the palace seemed to be the moon, and if she talked about the moon, she would probably be even more sad.

"What are you in charge of in the palace? Why did that person kill you just now? Without waiting for Cao Ran to change the topic, Qinglian asked first.

Cao Ran didn't plan to tell her about these ugly things, she must have been in this small courtyard since she was very young, and still maintained an innocent and kind heart, maybe talking about the outside world would make her life more hopeful.

Cao Ran took a sip of hot tea and said slowly, "I'm doing some chores under Mama Li." I'm not from the Jin Kingdom, and I just came to the Jin Kingdom not long ago, so I don't know much about the Jin Kingdom, so I can tell you about my hometown. ”

"It's fine." Qinglian does not recommend it.

"I'm from ...... From a very distant place, where there is no emperor, no royal family, nobility, and elite class, all are free and equal. ”

"There is no emperor? How can a country not have an emperor, as the so-called country cannot be left without an owner for a day, wouldn't it be chaos without an emperor! Qinglian was surprised, put down the teacup in her hand, and cheered up.

"There is no war in our country, there is no strife, it is about a democratic republic, and relatively perfect laws have been formulated, so that people can live freely as long as they do not violate the law, and people are busy every day for life, but they are all very full and happy." Looking at Qinglian and Ah Zhu's surprised expressions, he continued: "Another important thing is the rights and freedoms of our women, where men and women are equal, and each man can only take one wife, and women and men enjoy equal family status. ”

"How can there be such a place? Aren't men allowed to take concubines? So how can they be willed? Ah Zhu stared at him and said in disbelief: "I remember when I was a child, my father couldn't give birth to a son because my mother gave birth to me, so he took three concubines in a row until the third gave birth to a son. ”

Qinglian said thoughtfully: "If everyone can stay with the person they love for a long time without so many worries and pressures, what a desirable place it would be." The narrow phoenix eyes looked at Cao Ran: "Where is your hometown?" It's so beautiful, I can leave the palace when my body recovers, and I must go there to see it then. ”

"It's really far away, and I don't even know how I'm going to get back there. But you have to believe that there is a world like this, and it is not a beautiful story I made up, but a real place. Although I can't take you to see it, the good things we long for here can be realized there, and this beautiful hope is not out of reach. ”

"The only place you are talking about, I can only think of the Kingdom of Heaven, but I believe that you will not be from there, because if you are the goddess of the Kingdom of Heaven, how can you need my help?" Qinglian smiled very sweetly with a little mockery.

Cao Ran also smiled: "Of course, it's not heaven there, and I'm not a goddess." ”

chatted with Qinglian about some modern and new things, and the two of them were dumbfounded, and sighed again and again that it was incredible, and some were even unacceptable.

A pot of tea has bottomed out, and Cao Ran's ankles have improved a lot after moving a little. Get up and thank you again and don't bother anymore.
