Chapter 610 The Last Princess Arrives (XIV)
"I dare not! General, just call me Qingcheng!"
Gu Qingcheng had already guessed the other party's identity, but still pretended to be stupid.
In front of the warlord who was looking for trouble, Gu Qingcheng did not maintain her noble appearance.
She smiled brightly, even with a hint of flattery, "Da Qing is dead, and I am no longer a princess."
Huo Yun: ...
He thought he would see a proud and stubborn little princess.
Even if you fall into the mud, you can still hold your head high.
Just like the Nineteenth Princess he took away from the Prince's Palace, she was clearly a bird in a cage, clearly fragile and vulnerable to any blow, but she still maintained the dignity that a royal family should have.
Huo Yun really loves and hates the Nineteenth Princess.
Under his pressure, she bent her back, but there was always a fire burning in her eyes.
Huo Yun was touched.
Initially, Huo Yun treated the Nineteenth Princess as a substitute for the little princess.
He failed to capture Princess Qingcheng, so he took out his anger on her cousin.
Furthermore, the Nineteenth Princess is not innocent!
Huo Yun grew up in a drama troupe and followed the troupe leader around the country.
When he was performing in private concerts, as the most humble actor, he had suffered a lot of bullying and humiliation in the homes of the powerful and wealthy.
He knelt down and sang, allowing himself to be teased by the young masters and young ladies.
He also witnessed with his own eyes how the leading actors in the troupe became playthings of the rich and ended up with tragic consequences such as being disfigured or beaten to death.
He was only fourteen or fifteen years old that year, and he was almost murdered by a concubine from a noble family.
In the Prince's Mansion, Huo Yun was also punished by being forced to kneel and beaten.
Therefore, the Nineteenth Princess of the Prince's Mansion can also be considered his enemy.
...But among his many enemies, Princess Qingcheng was particularly cruel, and Huo Yun was beaten the worst.
It was also because of Princess Qingcheng that Huo Yun made up his mind to join the army, and then he became powerful and influential today!
However, the beautiful princess who left him the deepest memory had become unrecognizable after seven or eight years.
The once flamboyant and spoiled little princess has now become servile.
How could she still have the dignity of a royal princess? As a princess of the imperial dynasty, she opened her mouth and said "Da Qing is dead". Wasn't she sad and angry at all?
Gu Qingcheng: ...Hehe, how much is grief and anger worth? Can it be eaten? Or can it be exchanged for weapons and troops? And this Huo Yun, Gu Qingcheng can be sure that he is a psychologically twisted pervert! His "love and hate" are never for a specific person.
But it’s about my former lowly self and the bad guys who bullied me.
But his revenge was so bizarre, the so-called "tit for a tooth" was just a tangle with the other party.
What revenge? It's just to satisfy my twisted and empty heart.
Gu Qingcheng looked down upon such a lunatic.
For example, if she really wanted revenge, she would just kill the person.
To torture your enemy physically and mentally, and then to lose your true feelings... Damn, this is sick!
"This is Princess Zixuan from the Ye family. Her garden has always been rented out for hosting banquets or holding religious gatherings."
Huo Yun didn't know that behind Gu Qingcheng's slightly flattering smile, there was a deep disdain for him.
He looked away and abruptly changed the subject, "For the New Year's party on January 1st, Miss An Qi wants to borrow the Ye family garden."
"But Princess Zixuan didn't appreciate the favor and rented the garden to the ninth concubine of Governor Wu!"
"Miss Anqi is very angry, and Auntie Nine is also very unhappy—"
Then, the gods fought, and Princess Zixuan, an innocent mortal, suffered.
The Ye family was in trouble. Princess Zixuan's brother was arrested and taken to the prison in the Marshal's Mansion.
As for Governor Wu, he neither gave up the Ye family garden nor helped the Ye family rescue people.
There was really no other way, Princess Zixuan could only kneel here to beg for Miss Anqi's forgiveness.
This is the sadness of the weak. It is not their fault, but they have to kneel down and apologize! "Princess Qingcheng, you said just now that you don't mind kneeling down."
Huo Yun told everyone about Princess Zixuan's troubles, then changed the subject and looked at Gu Qingcheng again.
He pursed his thin lips, his deep eyes filled with a cold light.
Princess Zixuan heard something was wrong and quickly raised her head and shook her head hard towards Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng didn't look at her, but looked at Huo Yun.
On that beautiful face, there was still a kind of softness that was slightly flattering.
No edge, no pride, just submissive.
Huo Yun: ...
It's shattered, a certain scene in my memory is completely shattered!
Huo Yun became more and more angry and simply stopped hesitating.
He said with full of malice, "If Princess Qingcheng is willing to ask me for help, I can help Princess Zixuan solve this matter!"
Gu Qingcheng: ...Excuse Me! What does this have to do with me? Is it possible that the word "Virgin Mary" is written on my face?
Can I be humiliated for others? Gu Qingcheng said that she can be humiliated, but it must be valuable! If there is no benefit, you want her to lose face, why? Gu Qingcheng was stunned!
But Huo Yun, whose brain is not on the same wavelength as normal people, has not yet realized the problem.
Because in his opinion, although the little princess is spoiled, she is still a royal princess.
As a princess, she not only enjoys the support and respect of her servants, but also protects her servants.
This is the persistence and principle of the former superiors.
Just like the Nineteenth Princess, she would not kneel down for herself, but would beg Huo Yun for her family, loyal servants, and even anyone who was unrelated but implicated!
The whole process was in the perspective of God, watching the show happily, and I really wanted to raise my hand to answer: I know! I can answer this question!
The heroines in standard romance novels are all kind and wonderful.
They are stubborn and can maintain their pride even when being abused or bullied.
But in order to save others, they are willing to lower their noble heads.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Well, it seems that the role of the heroine is not something that can only be achieved by having good character.
At least based on her selfish nature, Gu Qingcheng cannot be as selfless as the heroine.
Gu Qingcheng always loves herself the most.
She can bend down for her own benefit and her own plans.
As for the others, haha, it’s still three words - why? "Haha, interesting! This is interesting!"
I don’t know when, An Qi and the other ladies walked into the yard and just happened to hear what Huo Yun said.
An Qi held a delicate little fan in front of her face, giggling.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
She was simply enjoying the scene before her.
Right, that's right! The last princess whose country was destroyed and whose family was ruined should be aware of being bullied and humiliated.
Just like the white goose waitress I saw at the Ugly State Banquet that day.
They were originally ladies from aristocratic families, but once their country was destroyed, they had no choice but to flee.
When they came to a foreign country, they could only work as maids and dancers.
The former swan, once fell into the mud, was even worse than a pheasant!
The so-called Princess Allure, even if she is not that lowly, should not be so ostentatious.
With such a big limelight, even she, the real number one socialite, was overshadowed.
An Qi was very unhappy and unwilling to accept it.
There is even jealousy deep in my heart.
So, she deliberately took advantage of the incident at the Ye family garden to make trouble and forced Princess Zixuan to come to her house and beg on her knees.
In order to humiliate Princess Qingcheng, An Qi also specially asked someone to remind Princess Zixuan that she must come in "formal attire"! Princess Zixuan was also a noble person. Although she wore a full set of Manchu clothing, she took the initiative to kneel in the yard.
But her back was still straight and there was still a bright light in her eyes.
This made An Qi very happy——
She just wanted to see the reluctance and grief of these noble ladies who were once high and mighty, yet had to kneel down with pride.
Well, if Princess Qingcheng could be like this, obviously unwilling but still having to ask for help in order to save others... that scene would definitely be very beautiful.
An Qi is probably a little more "normal" than Huo Yun.
She knew that in order to force people to give in, in addition to moral blackmail, certain bargaining chips would also be needed.
After thinking for a while, An Qi said, "Princess Qingcheng, I heard that you have been renting the West Mountain Military Camp to train your troops?"
"If you sincerely beg me, not only can I spare the Ye family, I can also give you that military camp!"
Gu Qingcheng: ...
That's right!
That's right! If you want to watch a play, you have to spend money to buy a ticket! "Really? Miss An Qi, are you really willing to give me the Xishan Barracks?"
Gu Qingcheng smiled brightly instantly.
She was like a salesperson who finally won an order. Maybe she didn't kneel down or beg, but her eyebrows and lips were all filled with a flattering smile.
"……real!"
Well, it was quite sudden.
Although An Qi wanted to break the royal princess's pride, she still didn't expect that the other party would "kneel" so readily.
"Ms. An Qi, you are worthy of being the most famous lady in Beijing, and the apple of the Marshal's eye! You are beautiful, kind-hearted, modern and noble!"
Gu Qingcheng continued to output crazily.
It’s not shameful to make money while kneeling!
Gu Qingcheng would be very happy if she could get such a big military camp just by saying a few nice words!
Everyone: ...
It's quite disillusioning.
It was obvious that at the banquet at the Chouguo Mansion, Princess Qingcheng was still the noble little princess.
How come after not seeing her for a few days, she became so...
It's not to the point of being servile, but it just makes people feel unbelievable.
The contrast is too obvious.
Faced with such a flattering smile, and the fact that she was so beautiful and had no airs at all, all the rich girls, including An Qi, could no longer behave in a nasty way.
They are not really vicious, but they are jealous and envious to a degree that they are unwilling to admit.
But when the darling of heaven, who was high above, came down to earth and started to say flattering words to them, they felt bored.
There is no sense of accomplishment in bullying such a person! "Ms. Anqi, your outfit today is very nice. Your dance dress makes you look like a Victorian princess!"
Gu Qingcheng clearly felt that the hostility of the daughters of rich families towards her had subsided.
She took the initiative to hold Anqi's hand and praised her from head to toe, from clothes to makeup.
Being praised so highly by Gu Qingcheng, who was born in a noble family and had an amazing appearance, An Qi's heart as a vicious female supporting role was melted.
“…It’s okay! I just picked it randomly!”
An Qi felt a little embarrassed and pretended to be reserved and modest.
Princess Zixuan was stunned. Combining with what the princess had just said, she seemed to understand something!
