Chapter 601 The Last Princess Arrives (V)
Delin possesses the rigor and gentlemanly demeanor that are unique to the people of country D.
He didn't care too much about Princess Qingcheng's slightly childish "arrogance".
Sitting opposite Gu Qingcheng, with his long legs crossed, his cold and reserved face said "I would like to hear more details".
Gu Qingcheng was not one to just pretend. She raised her chin slightly and said softly, "I am willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver every year to support students to study at the military academy of Country D!"
Delin was stunned for a moment.
It’s not that I’m surprised at Princess Qingcheng’s “generosity”—10,000 taels of silver a year.
This is not a small amount, but a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.
Princess Qingcheng is a princess of the dynasty after all, so she should have some property.
What really confused Delin was that this didn’t seem to be cooperation.
The situation of country D has indeed not been very good in recent years.
It also revised the agreement with China and is one of the very few countries that can compensate China in return.
Even so, between Country D and the Celestial Empire, Country D has the upper hand.
Not to mention anything else, just the sophisticated military equipment and the study abroad opportunities provided are all signs of Country D helping China.
Now, this incredibly beautiful last princess keeps saying that she wants to "cooperate", but in the end, she still needs help from Country D in disguise.
Yes, she has money, and she is not asking Country D to help China train military elites for free.
But sometimes, money may not be omnipotent.
Gu Qingcheng seemed to see Delin's "doubt" and curled the corners of her lips, "A piece of bread costs 140 trillion marks!"
This is the price in Country D last year!
The price has been maliciously inflated to an outrageous degree.
Delin's pupils suddenly contracted.
Although he is abroad, he still has some understanding of the situation in the country.
The domestic economy is indeed on the brink of collapse.
The little princess in front of us doesn’t seem to be a canary trapped in the palace, but a future eagle who knows everything about the world.
The mark depreciated severely, but the prices of gold and silver remained stable.
The ten thousand taels of silver that Gu Qingcheng took out was indeed not a small amount.
Delin gently put down his crossed legs and started to become serious.
Of course, he was not really attracted by the ten thousand taels of silver, but he realized that Princess Qingcheng was indeed someone who deserved to be taken "seriously".
She is not bluffing, nor is she pretending to be calm; she truly has great ambitions.
"Also, I heard that Mr. Delin's family is a famous arms manufacturer in the country?"
Gu Qingcheng certainly had more than one trump card. She pretended to grope in her sleeve pocket, but in fact she took out a blueprint from the system space.
This is the blueprint of the latest armored vehicle that she urgently exchanged for her blessing.
"By chance, this princess got this!"
“I wonder if we can use this as an opportunity to reach a cooperation with the Delin family?”
As she spoke, Gu Qingcheng pushed the drawing in front of Delin.
Delin raised his eyebrows and reached out to take the drawing.
Expanding, at just one glance, his pupils contracted violently.
This, this is the blueprint of an armored vehicle? Delin is a deputy envoy, but he is a military man.
Moreover, at certain times, people like Delin would also engage in some intelligence work.
For example, if they intercepted the latest military equipment drawings in the intelligence market, they would send them back to the country or conduct a secondary transaction.
As a semi-professional, Delin might not be able to judge whether this blueprint is the latest model, but his intuition tells him that it must be valuable! "…Dear Princess Qingcheng, on behalf of the Delin family, Delin is extremely honored to cooperate with you!"
"If you like, I can also send you an invitation letter in the name of Country D, inviting you to visit Country D and even the whole of Europe!"
Delin knew Princess Qingcheng's situation and knew that for a princess of a fallen country like her, it would be more appropriate to hide abroad.
Whether it's a visit or studying abroad, it can allow the noble little princess to temporarily avoid the storm in the country! Gu Qingcheng smiled faintly, "Mr. De Lin is very courageous, and your cooperation with me is destined to be the wisest choice you have made in your life."
As for going abroad, there is no rush! Gu Qingcheng still has a lot of things to do.
Even if she was going abroad, Gu Qingcheng would finish these things before leaving.
Delin: ...This little princess is so "arrogant" that she's almost cute.
In this way, Gu Qingcheng settled down in the mansion of Country D and signed a series of cooperation contracts with Delin.
The next day, Gu Qingcheng published the news "Princess Qingcheng Gulun generously sponsored promising young people to study abroad in the military academy of Country D" on the headlines of major newspapers.
Well, it's very interesting! On the front page of the newspaper, on one side was the news about the last emperor hastily fleeing the palace, and on the other side was the "announcement" of the last princess saving the country and the people! For a time, many knowledgeable people in the capital were a little amused -
What are these "brother and sister" going to do? Also, although Princess Qingcheng Gulun is a woman, she has some quick wits.
Such a high-profile appearance in front of the public made the noble identity of "Princess Qingcheng Gulun" known to the world.
The reputation of Princess Qingcheng seems to be overshadowing that of the Last Emperor.
Even ordinary people began to talk about Princess Qingcheng when chatting in pubs and teahouses.
"Hey, why do you say she is a real royal daughter? Tsk tsk, she did a great job!"
"Our Bannermen's aunts are just different!"
"Hey, I heard that Princess Qingcheng is the legitimate princess. The only bloodline of the late emperor and the empress dowager?"
"Of course not! It's just that it's not the case these days. If it were in the past, he would be the most distinguished person in the capital."
"No wonder she's so heroic. A legitimate princess is different."
The last emperor was just an adopted son.
Compared with the legitimate bloodline of others, the difference is really huge.
"Hey, Lao Suo, you are also from the upper three flags, right? Your grandfather was also a royal guard? Now that the princess wants to select people to go to Country D, you are very qualified!"
"...Hey, brother, to be honest with you, I really signed up!"
"What's the matter? Mr. Suo, are you going to Country D?"
"...That's not the case. I want to be a guard for the princess!"
With the fall of the dynasty, the former masters and young masters no longer had an easy life.
Especially yesterday, when even the emperor was driven out, the old people and the young felt even more hopeless.
However, Gu Qingcheng's "shining appearance" gave these people hope again.
The most important point: there is a future in following the princess.
Even if I can't be a guard or a high-ranking official like my ancestors, at least I can have a chance to go abroad or attend a military school.
Many people even felt that following the princess had a better future than following the last emperor.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After being expelled, the last emperor could only flee to the prince's palace in a hurry with his empress and two concubines.
Just like a dog that has lost its home.
Princess Qingcheng, on the other hand, has become a guest of the Deputy Envoy of Country D.
I heard that they can get D-type weapons.
Nowadays, anyone with a gun can be a king.
Why were those ruffians able to flaunt their power? Why were the new troops able to drive the emperor out of the palace?
Isn’t it because they have weapons in their hands?
But now, Princess Qingcheng also has it! With weapons, she can form a team in a matter of minutes.
Although Princess Qingcheng has not yet formally formed an army, she can set up a guard team first.
The old and young who were left behind are the most active! They have good family backgrounds!
They are our own people!
They are willing to serve the princess! ...
"What a beautiful Qingcheng! She is actually having an affair with a foreigner!"
"She, she even hid it from me!"
"What on earth does she want to do? Step on me to get ahead?"
At the Prince's Mansion, the last emperor turned pale with anger when he saw the newspaper.
There's no way, the contrast between the two photos in the newspaper is too stark.
On one side was the last emperor who fled in a panic, and on the other side was the radiant princess who shook hands and chatted happily with foreigners.
Even the Last Emperor himself felt that Princess Qingcheng was more noble!
The last emperor has always been proud of being an emperor. Even though he can only stay in the small palace most of the time, he is still the Long Live Emperor.
But now, he was first driven out of the palace, and then became the control group of his younger sister.
The last emperor was already angry, and now he was so ashamed and angry that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! I think Princess Qingcheng is just trying to attract attention."
"She is an eighteen-year-old girl who has never been out of the imperial city. How can she know what's going on outside?"
"I guess the foreigners saw that she had some wealth, so they made the promise deliberately, just because they thought she was easy to deceive!"
"...You are the Supreme Being. You are just a dragon trapped in the shallows. One day you will return to the sky!"
Shufei was the most beloved woman of the last emperor and she understood his temper best.
She comforted him in a gentle voice, telling lies that she herself did not quite believe.
But lies are sweet to the ears.
The last emperor paced around in the study room anxiously. It was unknown whether he had figured it out or was touched by Concubine Shu's words, but he finally calmed down.
"Yes! She is just grandstanding!"
"She is just a woman with long hair and little knowledge. How can she understand the difficulties outside?"
The last emperor talked to himself angrily.
It seems that as long as I say this, the facts will become like this.
The queen sat on the other side, a hint of mockery in her eyes.
Humph, all that's left is self-deception.
The Queen had studied abroad, had seen the world, and had a certain amount of knowledge.
She didn't think Princess Qingcheng was just trying to attract attention.
"Princess Qingcheng made a brilliant move!"
"If she doesn't keep a high profile, who knows what will happen to her, a young and beautiful last princess."
The queen has not forgotten that just yesterday, when the commander-in-chief named Huo Yun mentioned Princess Qingcheng, his eyes were as fierce and greedy as a wolf's.
He covets the princess!
Fortunately, the princess did not go with them, otherwise, she would have been captured by the evil wolf by now.
The queen herself is a woman, and she knows very well what will happen to a person like Princess Qingcheng if she falls into the hands of a stinky man in this turbulent and precarious world.
There is no need to imagine, because the "reality" is right in front of us——
"This must be the Nineteenth Princess, she is indeed a noble lady from the royal palace, her bearing is extraordinary!"
Huo Yun was so unscrupulous that he led his troops to surround the prince's palace.
Among the many princesses, he immediately spotted the nineteenth princess whose appearance was three or four points similar to the little princess in his memory...
