Chapter 17: See Her Royal Highness the Princess
Jiang Ni carefully carried the food box into the Tingchao Pavilion, stepped through the front and back doors, and saw the bookshelves full of books in the room.
It was also the first time for her to come here to listen to the tide pavilion, and when she saw so many books, she was also a little shocked in her heart.
At this moment, there are three people in this Tingchao Pavilion.
One is Wei Shuyang, the old Taoist of Jiudoumi, who has been listening to the tide pavilion here all the year round, that is, Jiang Ni has been in this Beiliang Mansion for almost ten years, and he has only seen it a few times occasionally.
At this moment, the old man was lying in the corner, with a book on his head, sleeping soundly.
He didn't pay any attention to everything in the outside world.
The other two are naturally Cao Changqing and Li Chengqian.
The moment he saw Cao Changqing, Jiang Ni's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and some long-term memories vaguely surfaced in his mind.
This person is so familiar.
But in the next second, she was attracted by Li Chengqian's gaze.
The books around Li Chengqian's body, which floated in mid-air on their own, looked really good.
There are many strange people and strange things in the Beiliang Palace, but no one has ever read books like this.
And Li Chengqian, who was serious and engrossed in reading books, had a face like jade, and a strong bookish aura around him, which was much more attractive than the transcendent and domineering he had seen in the courtyard before.
Jiang Ni was a little stupid for a while, blinking his eyes wide, but he forgot what he was going to do for a while.
And the appearance of Jiang Ni naturally can't hide the three people in the Tingchao Pavilion.
Wei Shuyang already knew Li Chengqian's identity and strength from Chu Lushan's mouth, not to mention that Cao Changqing was also a world-famous powerhouse, although he was barely the guardian of Tingchao Pavilion, he could only ignore what was going on outside the window at the moment, pretending not to know, and he didn't know how to pay attention to it.
Although he was aware of Jiang Ni's arrival, he didn't react at all.
And Cao Changqing knew that it should be the little maid named Jiang Ni mentioned by Li Chengqian before to deliver the food, and he didn't care, just glanced at it casually, and prepared to continue reading.
However, at this glance, he was shaken, and the book in his hand fell with a thud.
For a while, his expression instantly swelled with countless emotions, and in the next second, he burst into tears.
Step by step, he walked towards Jiang Ni, and when he was close to ten steps, his sleeves waved together, as if he wanted to dust off the dust to show great respect, and then knelt down with a bang!
He said word by word, and said in a sad voice: "Cao Changqing, the criminal minister of Western Chu, see Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
In an instant, Wei Shuyang's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he suddenly got up to look at the scene that happened in front of him, his scalp was numb, and his chest seemed to explode.
Now, it's a big problem.
Listening to the roof of the Chaoting Pavilion, Li Yishan's eyes were flat, and there was no surprise, since the king of Shu brought Cao Changqing to Beiliang, this matter was expected.
In fact, Li Chengqian's birth almost destroyed the layout he had been planning for many years.
As a strategist, what he fears most is that he is not in the chess game, and has an existence beyond the balance of power.
Because, it means that the opponent can flip the chessboard at any time and make all his so-called layouts a joke.
And today's Beiliang seems to have no waves, but in fact, the moment this person came to the palace, he was already on the verge of a life and death crisis.
However, this is also the fortune he roughly calculated, and how it is, after meeting with Xu Xiao, he can only do it after careful discussion.
On the other side, Li Chengqian flicked his hand, and dozens of martial arts cheats in front of him instantly returned to their original positions.
He looked at the scene in front of him with a faint light, but there was not much turmoil in his heart.
Cao Changqing has studied all his life, and he can even achieve Confucianism with his own skills, but after a lifetime, he is just for a woman, or a woman who has become a ***.
To tell the truth, in this era, Cao Changqing, as an official of Western Chu, loves Queen Xichu, which is a serious crime.
His loyalty to Western Chu came entirely because of his love for Empress Chu.
Of course, he since
The surname Cao seems to be a matter of course.
However, it is precisely because of this that Li Chengqian has full confidence in recovering Cao Changqing.
To correct the name of the Empress of Chu, protect the ginger mud, and do these two things, no matter whether Western Chu recovers or not, Cao Changqing will be used by him.
Not to mention, Jiang Ni himself is a rare kendo genius in the world.
Those Western Chu remnants in Shu still have to rely on her identity as the princess of Western Chu to subdue them all.
He naturally didn't think that those Western Chu remnants were loyal, but having a name was enough.
Therefore, since he came to Beiliang, Jiang Ni has been regarded by him as a bag.
No, maybe after today, it will be time to call Jiang Ji.
At this moment, Jiang Ni was a little flustered, and this sound sounded like a thunderbolt in her ears.
She is just a maid with an unsightly identity in this Beiliang Palace.
Up and down the house, there is no one to rely on.
Her appearance beyond others is the sin of being bullied by jealous maids and slaves from time to time.
Even, she didn't want to recall the voice and smile of her father and queen mother that had already blurred in her mind, because it would only make her hide in the corner and cry uncontrollably.
What she needs to think about and ponder every day is only the trivial things that are tired of work, and only how to survive in this big Beiliang Palace.
Although she still remembered that she was the princess of Xichu, the meaning of this identity had even become increasingly blurred in her mind.
Now that someone suddenly knelt in front of her so solemnly, she was not happy for the first time, but uncontrollable panic and fear, and even subconsciously took a step back.
Cao Changqing noticed the little princess's fear and gaffe, and there was no annoyance in his heart, but his heart was full of grief, anger, chagrin and self-blame.
He still clearly remembered that he had held her little hand in the thousands of luxurious palaces.
It's just that at this moment, in the face of Jiang Ni, who is full of panic, he, a rare peerless powerhouse in the world, is also a little at a loss, and he doesn't know how to open his mouth.
At this time, Li Chengqian spoke.
He looked at Jiang Ni with a soft expression: "You're here to deliver wine and food, don't be afraid, let's sit down and talk."
His voice spread, as if there was a soothing power, which instantly calmed Jiang Ni's uneasiness and panic, and gradually calmed down.
On a table in the Tingchao Pavilion, there are delicacies carefully prepared by the Beiliang Palace.
However, except for Li Chengqian, Jiang Ni and Cao Changqing, who were sitting opposite each other, did not have the slightest appetite.
At this moment, Jiang Ni finally remembered Cao Changqing's existence from her increasingly blurred memory.
After a moment of silence, she whispered in a somewhat tentative tone, "Uncle Qizhao."
Hearing this, Cao Changqing, who had already brushed away his tears, burst into tears again.
"Hey......
He has decided that from now on, even if he uses his life, he will protect the little princess for a lifetime.
However, now that he has a special identity, if he wants to take away the little princess, I am afraid that he still needs Li Chengqian's approval.
After calming down, he looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Childe, I want to take the princess out of Beiliang."
