Chapter 607 The Last Princess Arrives (XI)
Gu Qingcheng didn't say anything, just smiled coldly.
Her "accusing" expression was too obvious, and even the angry Last Emperor realized it.
Cough cough!
When he left the palace that day, he was shocked and angry, and completely lost his composure.
For a moment, he didn't think of Princess Qingcheng. It was indeed, indeed, his fault.
But, he was wrong in some ways! That Huo Yun clearly had feelings for Qingcheng.
If Qingcheng had followed him at that time, she would have met Huo Yun at the palace gate.
Huo Yun is a spoiled and rebellious soldier. If he acts recklessly relying on the guns in his hands, Qingcheng will definitely not have a good ending.
Qingcheng can definitely be said to have escaped a disaster.
...If you think in this way, the Last Emperor actually feels that the forgetfulness on that day was also a disguised form of "salvation".
Gu Qingcheng: ...
The two siblings were so close that no one spoke and the atmosphere became tense.
It was the short, Ren Danhu-haired Neon deputy envoy who took the initiative to break the awkward situation.
"Hello, Princess! I'm Takeshita Shinnosuke, the deputy envoy of Neon. You can just call me Takeshita!"
Zhuxia came up and bowed ninety degrees, showing great respect.
Gu Qingcheng, however, understands this nation. They value small details but neglect big principles. They appear polite and warm on the surface, but are actually cruel and ruthless.
Their bowing is not a sign of true respect, but a habit and even a disguise.
However, there are always people who are deceived by illusions.
When I see that the other person is polite, humble and gentle, I really regard him as a gentleman.
For example, the last emperor, who was standing aside, was very satisfied when he saw that Takeshita was so well-behaved.
Right, this is the attitude that envoys from foreign vassal states should have when they meet the royal family! Gu Qingcheng: ...Forget it, this kind of disguise of Neon will be considered good by people in the future, let alone now? "Hello, Mr. Takeshita!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded slightly and greeted very politely.
"Princess Qingcheng, I sympathize with your Majesty and your experience, and I am deeply sorry."
"You are the noble Ai royal family. You should not be treated like this."
"We in Neon have always been Ai's best friend, and we are also friendly neighbors to China."
"Over the years, we have been training outstanding talents for China, and many international students come to Japan every year."
"If Princess Qingcheng is interested, she can also go to Neon to study abroad."
Takeshita stood straight, but because he was short, he could only look at Gu Qingcheng at eye level.
Gu Qingcheng raised one eyebrow slightly, "Study abroad?"
Look, this is the gap.
The deputy envoys of several countries, including Country D and Country Chou, all invited Gu Qingcheng to visit.
This puts Gu Qingcheng in the position of an important person.
But Nihong let her go studying abroad?
What does "study abroad" mean? The other party clearly regarded himself as a teacher, and Princess Qingcheng was just a student.
Well, deep down, he still doesn't take Princess Qingcheng, the princess of a fallen country, seriously.
"No need! I'm not interested in studying abroad!"
"Besides, I have accepted Mr. Dulang's invitation and am going to visit the Ugly Country."
Gu Qingcheng shook her head and refused decisively.
Takeshita was stunned for a moment. As an envoy to the Celestial Empire, he was definitely an expert on the Celestial Empire.
Not only is Takeshita proficient in the language, he also has a deep understanding of China's culture and the way Chinese people communicate.
The Chinese like to be euphemistic and to speak in a subtle way.
Is this little princess in front of him, who is as beautiful as a fairy, implying that he is disrespectful?
The Ugly Country invited her to visit, but I recommended her to study abroad. This, this -
Realizing that he was being ridiculed and despised, a look of embarrassment flashed across Takeshita's face.
But soon, he switched back to gentle mode.
"Princess Qingcheng, I'm sorry! Takeshita was rude!"
"Takeshita, on behalf of Neon, invites the respected Princess to visit Neon."
Takeshita bowed 90 degrees again, admitting his mistake actively and sincerely.
The last emperor was a little dumbfounded: I, the emperor, have not received any invitation to visit from Japan.
Qingcheng is just a princess, and his sister, how could she, just -
The last emperor couldn't figure it out, but Gu Qingcheng had already guessed what Takeshita was thinking.
Her cooperation with Country D and Country Chou is no secret.
For example, the pleasant conversation she had with Mr. Dulang just now was probably seen by many people present.
Neon has always been eyeing the Celestial Empire, and Gu Qingcheng is no ordinary person; she is the legitimate princess of the dynasty.
Princess Qingcheng and the Last Emperor, one is the biological child of the Emperor and Empress, and the other is an adopted son.
People would instinctively think that perhaps the emperor and empress left Princess Qingcheng a "legacy" that even the last emperor didn't know about.
Princess Qingcheng, a princess who has lived in the imperial city for a long time, was able to reach a cooperation with the deputy envoys of the two countries, probably because of this legacy.
It would be fine for others, but Japan is ambitious and will certainly not miss any secrets about the Celestial Empire.
Originally, Takeshita wanted the last emperor to "invite back" Princess Qingcheng so that both the brother and sister could live in Neon Mansion.
In this way, they can take advantage of their proximity to the water and find a way to find out the secret of Princess Qingcheng.
But, after just one encounter, the shrewd and cunning Takeshita knew that the last emperor could not control Princess Qingcheng at all.
This woman is far smarter and more insightful than the last emperor. She has very clear goals, great ambitions, and deep scheming.
If the last emperor cannot be controlled, then we can only find another way.
"Then let's take him to Neon."
Whether studying abroad or visiting, it's just an excuse.
As long as people go to Neon, they have the final say on how they should be treated.
"Hmm~~"
Gu Qingcheng dragged out the last syllable of her words, as if she was considering something.
Then, she smiled brightly, "I'll think about it! But thank you Mr. Takeshita for the invitation!"
After saying this, she raised her glass to Takeshita and said "please" in Japanese.
The last emperor was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Qingcheng, when did you learn to speak a foreign language?"
Just now I only saw her walking among the envoys, talking and laughing, and she seemed to be having a very happy conversation.
However, due to the long distance, the Last Emperor did not hear the specific content of their conversation.
So, he didn't know that his cheap sister was actually proficient in foreign languages.
Moreover, judging by her casual demeanor, she must be familiar with more than one language.
The problem is, he has never seen Princess Qingcheng learn these things before.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When did she become so powerful?
Gu Qingcheng smiled meaningfully, "Brother, there are still many things you don't know!"
She took a sip of the red wine and nodded at Takeshita, fulfilling all social etiquette.
She turned around and was about to leave.
Before leaving, she still glanced at the last emperor and said, "Brother, we were not able to be together when we left the palace. Don't force it in the future."
"You and I are not siblings, so there is no need to force ourselves to maintain this false relationship."
"Once we part in the palace, our relationship as brother and sister will be over."
"The road is wide and we can go our separate ways! Don't worry about me and I won't interfere with your decision."
"I just hope that no matter what time it is, my brother will never forget that you were once the emperor of the Celestial Empire. Don't do anything that would bring disgrace upon the Celestial Empire!"
Gu Qingcheng deliberately said this in Manchu.
The last emperor was a little embarrassed. Although he was a bannerman, he was not very fluent in Manchu.
In fact, in the later period, Manchu had lost its practical function of communication.
The last emperor was not completely ignorant of Manchu. He knew some daily expressions and could understand Manchu articles.
However, when someone like Gu Qingcheng spoke long passages of Manchu so fluently and quickly, the Last Emperor could hardly keep up.
After a long while, he finally understood what Gu Qingcheng meant.
You and I are brother and sister, and from now on, we will keep our distance from each other.
Crazy and rebellious!
Don’t know respect and inferiority!
Disrespectful to brother!
She, she——
The last emperor was extremely angry.
As the last emperor, he was both arrogant and self-deprecating.
Half a month ago, he was driven out of the palace, which made his "inferiority complex" reach its peak.
He was horrified and humiliated at the same time.
However, Gu Qingcheng's performance at this moment made him feel even more ashamed and angry.
According to tradition, the eldest brother is like a father.
It not only means that the elder brother should take care of his younger brothers and sisters like a father, but also shows that he has the authority of a father.
He can control his sister's life and dominate everything about her.
But now, Gu Qingcheng has an arrogant attitude of "Don't bother me".
This is a provocation to patriarchy and imperial power!
But faced with such provocation, the last emperor was helpless.
To be honest, at present, there is already a gap between the last emperor and Princess Qingcheng -
Princess Qingcheng hooked up with a foreigner and received invitations to visit several countries.
She even formed her own princess guard.
As for the last emperor, he could only hide in the Neon Mansion like a stray dog.
He only had one queen, two concubines, a few trusted palace maids and not even a guard!
Even if he wanted to enforce his brother's rights by force, he could not defeat Princess Qingcheng.
Tsk, Princess Qingcheng brought 20 armed guards just to attend a banquet! With this kind of posture, not to mention the last emperor, even the envoys and warlords would not dare to provoke her easily.
And the most subtle point is that Princess Qingcheng is a legitimate princess, the flesh and blood of the late emperor and the empress dowager, and the most orthodox bloodline of the royal family.
And he was just an adopted son!
Although the two are closely related by blood, status is status.
Now that the adopted son has squandered the family fortune, it seems understandable that the respectable aunt despises him and is unwilling to go with him.
“You! You!”
The last emperor was filled with shame and anger, and said something cruel to save his dignity: "Qingcheng, you take care of yourself!"
Gu Qingcheng replied, "Brother Emperor, let's encourage each other!"
The Last Emperor: ...
This girl, when did she become so eloquent?
He really refuses to take even a small loss.
Zhuxia silently watched the battle between the fake brother and sister, and the result was obvious: Princess Qingcheng had the upper hand in both momentum and verbal confrontation! The last emperor actually lost the lawsuit to his sister!
Takeshita narrowed his eyes and began to reconsider the value of the Last Emperor.
The last emperor was still very perceptive.
He sensed that Takeshita's attitude towards him had changed, so he grabbed the Queen's hand and said, "We can't stay in the capital anymore! Let's go to Tianjin!"
As long as Princess Qingcheng was around, he, the last emperor, seemed like a joke.
Must go! Perhaps due to Zunlong's good looks, many short videos portray Xuantong as the last emperor of the tragic dynasty, and even make fun of the fact that he took the ticket home, but my biggest impression of Xuantong is that of Emperor Kangde.
