"Today is different from the past. No matter what, Your Highness should bear with it for the sake of the overall situation. As long as British women are useful, no matter what they look like, Your Highness must put the overall situation first!"
Seeing that Wei Zhao was still so picky, Xiao Qi really hated the iron. He couldn't figure out what the situation was now. Why was he picking on these things?
It would be nice to have a useful woman, but there is no way to choose whether you like her or not by what she looks like.
"You're right," Wei Zhao could only grit his teeth and nod, "Princess Yan did have a marriage contract with me, so this matter should be brought up again, but more importantly, it must be useful to Britain, otherwise I'm afraid there is no chance of winning. It’s going to be big.”
This is what Wei Zhao is more worried about. The engagement contract alone may not be of much use. It must also benefit Britain.
"Your Highness is right," Xiao Qi's expression suddenly darkened again. This was indeed a difficult thing.
Relying on the engagement contract just a few years ago is indeed not of much use. It should also benefit the UK, so it is willing to get involved.
"If it can help His Highness restore the country, then seven cities will be given to the British. The benefits must be large enough before the other party is willing to get involved."
There is no way around this. It is already difficult to get help from the UK, so we can only give in enough benefits.
“Seven cities is too many.”
Wei Zhao was a little reluctant. After all, it was once Wei's territory, so he was really unwilling to give it to others.
"Your Highness, this situation can only be corrected by getting enough help. Not to mention that if you can give it away, you can also take it back. Your patience at this moment is for the sake of feeling proud in the future!"
Xiao Qi took a deep breath. If he wanted to achieve great things, he shouldn't worry about these things at this moment.
It is indeed unwilling to give away the city like this, but it does not say that you cannot get it back after giving it away. As long as you slowly build up your energy in the future, everything is possible.
"You're right, this situation can only be like this," Wei Zhao thought about it and could only nod. This is indeed the best way. Only if enough benefits are given, the UK will be willing to help.
The most important thing now is to recapture Wei State, and then things will be settled slowly in the future.
Xiao Qi clenched his fists. His patience at this moment was for the sake of feeling proud in the future. How could he not avenge the hatred of his country and his family?
On the other hand, Wei Shu can stay with her enemy with peace of mind, but does she still remember her identity and know that she is the princess of Wei and his wife?
How could he be so ignorant of humiliation!
When he returned to the house, he became more and more gloomy. Fortunately, he was thoughtful enough to gain Wei Zhao's trust, so he was able to escape with him. Therefore, he had to prove his usefulness even more and had to make plans at all times.
"I know what happened today," Qingdai poured a cup of tea over and stood behind her to rub Xiao Qi's shoulders.
"The King of Chu will eventually pay for it with his life. His Highness the Fifth Prince died a noble death. Compared to the princess, everyone will blame her!"
Qingdai comforted her softly, but when she talked about her former master, she felt something different in her heart.
In fact, she expected the princess to die directly in that palace chaos, because she still felt a little ashamed in her heart. After all, the princess was really good to the people around her. .
But why did she suddenly change and become the beloved concubine of the current King of Chu!
How come I have such a good life, why is everything so unfair? I thought that if I became the princess of a subjugated country, I would be able to fall from the clouds, but I didn't expect that I would become a beloved concubine.
"Wei Shu only flatters her enemies now. She didn't come forward to intercede in this matter. It seems she has really forgotten her identity."
Xiao Qi smiled coldly, with a bit of disgust in his tone.
He originally thought that after being married for almost three years, he knew Wei Shu's temperament very well and she seemed to be a dignified and gentle woman, but he didn't expect that she would turn out like this.
Fortunately, he was not tempted by this skin, otherwise it would really not be worth it!
"Yes, perhaps a person's true nature can be reflected in this kind of thing," Qingdai said intentionally or unintentionally.
"I used to think that the princess treated us very well, so when I was in love with you, I didn't dare to see her at all, and I felt extremely guilty.
Now it seems that these guilts have become a joke. It turns out that she doesn't care at all. It is really too much to become the concubine of the King of Chu despite the hatred of the country and the family! "
After saying that, he sighed and shook his head helplessly. He was also wondering why Wei Shu was still alive and living in such a shameful way. She also felt that it was a shame for her to be alive.
"Qing Dai, there is no need to mention it again, she will no longer exist between us."
Xiao Qi closed his eyes and put everything in the past away from his heart.
In fact, it was nothing. When he got married, he had resentment in his heart. If he had not married the princess, he could have developed in the court, but he became trapped in the princess's mansion.
Therefore, no matter how good-looking Wei Shu looks, no matter how much her heart is moved by this skin, she will quickly return to reason. It is impossible to fall in love with Wei Shu or have any feelings for her.
Therefore, they have always been respectful to each other in the past few years since they got married. Later, they gradually developed a relationship with Qingdai. What's more, the feeling of the two of them getting along secretly across Wei Shu was quite exciting.
"It means that no one will stop us, and we can be together openly."
Qingdai sat in Xiao Qi's arms, hugged his neck, and kissed him on the lips.
…
Chu Xiao handles affairs during the day, and after finishing the processing, he will go to Tao Yao's place. Basically, it is two points and one line. Everyone knows Tao Yao's current identity.
Those rumors slowly stopped. After all, they were just that, and I felt boring talking about them every day.
What's more important is that everyone's life is slowly returning to normal. The former King of Wei was mediocre and incompetent. With the replacement of a wise and powerful king, they will only feel happy, and all their lives are slowly calming down. .
"Mom, this is almond cheese."
Yu Niang came in with a bowl. Tao Yao liked the food very much, and often asked her to make delicious food for her. He also felt that talking to her was a real affinity, and he would always talk for an hour or two. .
"I knew everything you made was so delicious," Taoyao took a bite of the almond cheese. It was indeed quite delicious.
"As long as the queen likes it."
Yu Niang stood aside and smiled respectfully, but her smile was indeed a bit forced.
The princess of Wei committed herself to an enemy who was hated by her country and family. She didn't think about how to take revenge and restore her country every day, but she really became a beloved concubine with peace of mind. Looking at this, do you still want to be a beloved concubine for the rest of your life?
"Where are you from? I see you are quite skilled at cooking."
After Taoyao tasted it for a few times, she put it down and looked at Yu Niang, asking intentionally or unintentionally.
"Returning to your Majesty, I am from Sioux City. After entering the palace as a slave, I learned good cooking skills. As long as your Majesty likes the dishes I cook, that's all!"
Yu Niang didn't want to answer these questions, she just wanted to lead the topic elsewhere.
"If you want to eat something, please just tell me."
Yuniang lowered her eyes from beginning to end, not wanting to look at Taoyao.
"That's it," Taoyao nodded casually. In fact, after getting along with each other these days, she was not involved in the other person's words, and always deliberately pulled away.
If it were the real Wei Shu, I'm afraid she would have been led in by the other party's words.
Wei Shu felt ashamed to be left in the harem, but when a cook came who seemed quite kind, she immediately seemed to grasp at straws. She really needed someone who could talk to her properly. Stay with her.
But obviously this is also wrong. This jade girl is also like those people, thinking of coming to accuse her, intentionally or unintentionally, asking her to take revenge. No matter it is poisoning or something, she must take revenge.
In fact, it's quite funny. Wei Shu was unknown when nothing happened, but now, everyone's eyes are suddenly focused on her, as if she has become the only hope.
If she didn't commit suicide for her country as the people in the world thought, she would have to accept all the insults and stay in the harem. If she didn't want to kill her enemies all the time, she would be shameless and willing to commit herself to her enemies in order to survive.
"I just feel happy to talk to you, and I feel kind to you when I look at you. I haven't talked to anyone properly during these activities, and I don't know what is going on outside. What do you think people in the world will say about me? ?Will everyone scold and accuse me?"
Tao Yao lowered her eyes and pretended to be sad, but she wanted to see what kind of words Yu Niang could say.
She is not Wei Shu, and she will not be beguiled and deceived by Yu Niang in just a few words.
"If you ask me to speak, I will tell the truth," Yu Niang's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Actually, I have always sympathized with you. After all, you were once the princess of the Wei Kingdom. You and your husband used to have a deep love for each other. Now that the country is ruined and the family is ruined, it is pitiful."
Yuniang looked at Taoyao distressedly, as if she really cared about him.
"Especially what happened to the fifth prince that day. I was really scared. I was afraid that the princess would do the same one day!"
"How could it be, but His Majesty obviously likes me the most!"
Taoyao seemed to be startled, with a worried and frightened look on her face.
Yuniang quietly clenched her fists, looking at Taoyao like this, she resisted the urge to curse.
"His Majesty indeed loves you the most at the moment. What can happen later? Will his love never change in this life? Your status is special after all. What if His Majesty changes his mind in the future?"
