Because of those beasts from the four major powers.
They would only call them lowly scum, filthy scum, lowly people, lackeys, dogs, little beasts, old beasts... with a look of malice and disgust.
They would only beat and scold them, trample them underfoot, and make them live a miserable life without any dignity.
x﹏x Waaah!
Now things are much better. Princess Chang Le has taken down all those beasts for them, and they can finally stand up straight.
As they thought about it, more than 10,000 people couldn't help but burst into tears. Their cries were a mixture of joy, catharsis, sadness, and other complex emotions.
They didn't want to cry, but they just couldn't help it.
The scene was filled with sobs. Sheng Lingwei and the others sighed repeatedly but did not try to stop them. They only hoped that these unfortunate people could vent their emotions and that their days would be filled with positivity from now on.
After everyone had finished crying, they knelt down solemnly before Sheng Lingwei once again.
"Princess Chang Le, thank you for saving us. We are deeply grateful and have no way to repay you but to serve you like a slave."
“Princess, you are not only our savior, but also the person we want to follow. From now on, we will be loyal to you forever and never betray you!”
"Yes, we will always be loyal to the princess. Please do not despise our foolishness."
“Princess, although I am not very strong, I have always understood the principle of gratitude. You saved us, so you are our benefactor. We have no way to repay you but to offer ourselves to you.”
"Pfft..."
Sheng Lingwei couldn't help but laugh out loud, and looked at the young man who said he would repay her with his body, "Young brother, there's no need for that. I already have a fiancé."
(?˙▽˙?) Fiancé! ! !
Jing Qingyun's ears twitched, and in the blink of an eye, he was beside Sheng Lingwei. His handsome face with its distinct features was full of smiles, and his deep eyes looked at everyone. He patted his chest with pride and satisfaction.
"Hello everyone, I am Jing Qingyun, and I am Princess Chang Le's fiancé."
Sheng Lingwei: ...Goodness, this is seizing the perfect opportunity to jump out and assert sovereignty!
The more than 10,000 people kneeling there were dumbfounded.
Jing Qingyun?
This is none other than the only non-royal king of the Northern Qi Kingdom, who stepped onto the battlefield at the young age of thirteen and utterly defeated the surrounding countries, deterring them from easily invading the borders of the Northern Qi.
He was a legendary figure in the Northern Qi Kingdom, renowned for his military exploits, but unexpectedly became Princess Chang Le's fiancé.
?(?\\u0027?\\u0027? )??????
Wow! Isn't this the legendary perfect match, a match made in heaven!
OK!
With Princess Chang Le and Prince Jing joining forces, no one in their Yucheng County would dare to offend them, and they could finally live a peaceful life.
As a result, everyone's shock vanished, and they looked at Sheng Lingwei and Jing Qingyun on the high platform with expressions of blessing.
Jing Qingyun was satisfied; the corners of his mouth were practically turned up to the back of his head. Let's see who dares to openly try to steal Weiwei from him in the future.
The three women in the audience, including Madam Jing and her daughter-in-law, were so embarrassed that they scratched their toes on the ground, unable to bear watching their children's smug expressions.
Lin Jingyi sighed, "Mother, sister-in-law, don't you think Qingyun has become more and more childish lately?"
Madam Jing empathized, "Yes, he is indeed becoming more and more childish, no, I should say he is becoming more and more shameless. I still prefer his serious appearance when he was a child."
Xie Hui smiled and said, "Mother, sister-in-law, Qingyun seems more human now than she is. She's much better than that ice block who only knows how to fight and kill on the battlefield."
Lin Jingyi and Madam Jing paused for a moment.
Yes! How could they not feel sorry for their own children? They are so young, yet they are burdened with responsibilities they should not have to bear.
Oh well, as long as the child is happy, that's all that matters. The Jing family is an oddball anyway, and they don't care what others think of them.
From now on, they will no longer need to contribute to Northern Qi. They can simply follow Princess Chang Le to build Yucheng County and live their own lives.
As for the affairs of the younger generation, they will not interfere too much.
On the high platform.
Sheng Lingwei glanced at Jing Qingyun with amusement and whispered a reminder, "Little Yunzi, don't you want to maintain your aloof and noble image? Quickly put away that smile on your face."
Jing Qingyun shook her head with a smile, "Weiwei, no matter where you go in the future, I will declare my ownership to everyone. You, Sheng Lingwei, are now labeled as Jing Qingyun."
Sheng Lingwei was both amused and exasperated. She reached out and gently patted Jing Qingyun's chest. "Alright, alright, whatever makes you happy. Now we need to get down to business. Don't interrupt me!"
Jing Qingyun nodded with a smile, indicating that she would follow Weiwei's instructions.
More than 10,000 people stared wide-eyed at the interaction between the two, their faces beaming with maternal smiles, but more often they were just watching the drama unfold.
Oh dear!
The princess and Prince Jing were flirting, especially with Prince Jing's lingering, affectionate gaze; he must be head over heels in love with the princess.
Also, the princess's shy face, paired with her unparalleled beauty, is simply too beautiful, isn't it?
Anyway, they're all about looks; they just like good-looking people.
The boy who had previously promised to marry him was only an eleven-year-old child. He pounded his chest in frustration.
"It's all because I'm too young, otherwise the princess would definitely have accepted me. Although I eat a lot, I have plenty of strength to work and I would never be a freeloader."
The boy's parents grabbed his hands nervously, wishing they could cover his mouth to shut him up.
"You little brat, don't say such outrageous things again. The phrase 'to repay someone with one's life' is not used like that."
“Oh, it’s all our fault for being useless. We didn’t have the means to send you to school. When things get better, we’ll definitely send you to school so you won’t have to say such things.”
The person kneeling beside him also whispered a reminder.
“You silly boy, you can only say you’ll be a cow or a horse, or a slave or a maid, but you can never say you’ll give yourself to him.”
Fortunately, Princess Chang Le is kind-hearted and won't hold it against you. If it were anyone else, they probably would have dragged you out and punished you long ago.
"That's right, you little rascal, you need to think before you speak from now on. You'd better learn more words to understand reason."
"..."
After listening to his uncles and aunts, the boy realized his mistake and turned pale with fright.
Sheng Lingwei smiled and gave the young boy a reassuring look, so as not to frighten him.
The young boy received Sheng Lingwei's gaze, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then grinned foolishly.
Oh dear, how can Her Highness be so kind?
Sheng Lingwei then used her mental power to help everyone up again, her tone solemn and serious.
"Everyone, thank you for trusting me."
I hereby promise you that as long as you do not betray me and remain loyal to me, you will be safe and sound.
"I will ensure you live a life free from want, with ample food and clothing, and abundant wealth. There will be no oppression or exploitation, no misery, and certainly no beastly acts like those of the four major powers."
Overjoyed, everyone's eyes welled up with tears. Their previously hunched backs straightened, and their bodies radiated vitality from the inside out.
From this moment on, they submitted to Princess Chang Le from the bottom of their hearts, and would never regret it in this life!
They trusted the princess's character; they didn't ask why, they just went by intuition.
