Gu Qingcheng was wearing leather boots and stepping on the bluestone floor, her voice was particularly clear.
She slowly came to the kneeling woman, stopped, and lowered her head slightly, "Who are you? Why are you kneeling here?"
If this was the threat An Qi gave her, well, it would be too childish.
Flag outfit?
Well, maybe this person is still a member of the Daqing clan, or the daughter of a noble person from the previous dynasty.
According to the rules of the banner people, everyone can be called Gege.
Zixuan Gege has been kneeling here for almost half an hour. Her knees are very painful. The key is the feeling of humiliation, which makes her want to die with shame and anger.
However, she still wanted to straighten her waist to prevent herself from looking even more embarrassed.
Just when she was kneeling in pain and could hardly hold on to her pride, she heard the sound of leather boots.
Then, a pair of shiny black boots appeared in his field of vision.
Zixuan pinched her palms hard, raised her eyes, and looked up at the leather boots.
"Are you Princess Qingcheng?"
After seeing the incomparably beautiful face of the visitor, a flash of surprise flashed in Zixuan's eyes, and she blurted out.
Gu Qingcheng:...Oh haha! It seems that they were one of the most famous families in Beijing.
At least she had met Princess Qingcheng.
Of course, you might have seen it in the newspaper.
However, to be able to pay such attention to the dynamics of a subjugated princess, she should also be a bannerman.
Gu Qingcheng searched the memory of the original owner and found no record of the beautiful face in front of him.
"Who are you? Why are you kneeling here?"
Gu Qingcheng repeated the question he just asked.
Only then did Zixuan Gege react from the surprise of seeing the princess. She was a little embarrassed and ashamed. She lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Slave Zixuan, Mrs. Ye, is the daughter of former cabinet minister Ye Zhang."
Leaf camphor?
Gu Qingcheng instantly remembered this person. Speaking of which, he was once one of the very important courtiers of the Daqing Dynasty.
Ye family, um, is of the same clan as Queen Mother Ye.
According to the relationship, the Zixuan Gege in front of her should be the cousin of the original owner.
Of course, the banner people are married to each other and have intricate relationships. Almost all ancestors are relatives.
Cousins and cousins have no real meaning.
However, Ye Zhang’s daughter?
"Ye Zhang? If I remember correctly, he should be in Jincheng with the emperor brother."
Gu Qingcheng did not deliberately inquire about Ye Zhang's traces.
Instead, he speculated based on common sense - as a cabinet minister at the end of the dynasty, he was considered an important minister that the emperor relied on.
The last emperor went to Jincheng, and as a "confidant", he should also follow him.
Even if it is not for loyalty, they must prevent the new army from causing trouble to them.
"……yes!"
When mentioning her father, a flash of pain flashed through Zixuan's eyes.
She lowered her head, and a few big tears fell silently on her flag uniform embroidered with complicated patterns.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Oh, have you been left behind?
Also, Ye Zhang was once an important minister of the imperial dynasty, with a large number of wives and concubines, and must have a large number of direct children.
Going to Jincheng is almost an escape, so it is naturally impossible to take the whole family away.
Furthermore, the Ye family's property in the capital also needs someone to look after it.
Gu Qingcheng did not continue to ask. If he asked too many questions, he might touch other people's wounds.
As for why Zixuan Gege is kneeling here, she can probably think of it.
Either he offended someone, or he wanted something.
"Zixuan Gege, do you need my help?"
It's not that Gu Qingcheng takes care of everything, but when she encounters someone, it might be someone else's trap, and she always has to show off her skills.
Otherwise, if you don't cooperate, wouldn't you be betraying some people's "good intentions"?
"..."
Zixuan raised her head, a little light flashing in her eyes.
Um?
Gu Qingcheng suddenly discovered that Zixuan Gege's eyes looked familiar.
She has single eyelids and slightly slender red phoenix eyes. The moment she raises her eyes, her eyes are flowing and charming.
Zixuan swallowed, hesitated, and finally shook her head, "Princess, this is my slave's fault!"
"Kneeling here is my own intention!"
"Princess, you, you don't have to worry about the slaves!"
Gu Qingcheng raised his eyebrows, "Okay! Then you can do it yourself."
"By the way, this princess is currently living in the mansion of country D. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to the mansion to find me!"
Gu Qingcheng is not the Holy Mother, nor does she have any responsibilities and missions to the survivors of the previous dynasty just because she is the last princess.
She is not a kind person by nature.
Besides, the dynasty was overthrown, the world was in turmoil, and pitiful people abounded, and she couldn't help them at all.
Everyone has their own destiny, and in the end the only one you can rely on is yourself.
The most important point is that Zixuan Gege in front of him did not ask for help, so Gu Qingcheng would not rush to help.
"Thank you princess, I saved it for you."
Although Gu Qingcheng did not take the initiative to help, her words still made Zixuan Gege feel warm.
There was light in her beautiful Danfeng eyes again.
Gu Qingcheng frowned slightly, well, it was that familiar feeling of "déjà vu" again.
"...No need to talk about slaves anymore. This is the Republic of China, and there are no masters or slaves."
"My title, Princess Qingcheng, is just a name and has no real meaning."
"Zixuan Gege, pride is a good thing, but only by being able to bend and stretch can you live better."
"Since you don't want to tell me, I won't ask. I'm just telling you that Da Qing is dead, and the wealth and honor he once had is gone."
"But we still have to live. Kneeling is not a shame. Living well is the most important thing."
Gu Qingcheng looked carefully just now, and she noticed that although Zixuan Gege was kneeling, her back was very straight.
This is a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, with her own pride and backbone.
However, in the eyes of some people, Zixuan Gege's "temperament" is particularly eye-catching.
Although Zixuan Gege kept saying that it was her fault, Gu Qingcheng had every reason to suspect that she had been deliberately provoked.
The root cause is to achieve the purpose of promoting himself by humiliating the noble daughter of the previous dynasty.
For example, Gu Qingcheng would receive invitations for this reason.
Zixuan was stunned for a moment, "Kneel down, isn't it embarrassing?"
"It's not shameful! Just like me, the last princess, if necessary, I can kneel down and humiliate the powerful nobles at will."
Gu Qingcheng answered without any reluctance.
She even had a smile on her face.
Zixuan's eyes widened and she stared at the incomparably beautiful Princess Qingcheng.
She is the only child in the palace in the past fifty years, the noble Princess Gu Lun.
As a result, he was able to say "I can also kneel down" so easily and casually.
Can she really be able to bend and stretch, can she really overcome the hurdle in her heart?
Gu Qingcheng seemed to understand Zixuan Gege's words and nodded, "Yes! I can!"
What Gu Qingcheng said was definitely not a lie to appease Zixuan Gege.
If she didn't have so many trump cards, if she couldn't get help from foreigners, but was deliberately humiliated like Zixuan or other princesses.
Then, she would kneel down without hesitation.
No dignity or backbone is as important as her life.
Only when you are alive can you have hope.
If she dies, she is really just a princess who has lost her country.
Moreover, from another perspective, a neat resignation will also make the person who humiliates himself feel no fun.
The reason why they bully you is because they want to see your stubbornness in not bending your spine, and they want to see your anger and unwillingness in your unwillingness to kneel down.
When the humiliated person kneels down obediently and behaves like a submissive slave, those people will naturally lose interest.
When your own strength is not enough, don't be that "unique" person.
Being invisible to everyone is an excellent means of self-protection.
"Princess Qingcheng, you are really 'open-minded'!"
Gu Qingcheng had just finished saying this, and before Zixuan Gege could respond, he heard a cold voice coming from behind.
Gu Qingcheng turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound.
Well, he should be a new army general.
He is in his twenties, tall and muscular.
Sword-shaped eyebrows, starry eyes, high nose and thin lips.
Without the blessing of skin, I am also a very handsome and handsome man.
With that military uniform, he looks more and more like a handsome man with style and style.
Yeah, a complete domineering warlord.
Paired with a charming concubine wearing a cheongsam next to her, she can instantly conjure up a 200,000-word story about the tragic Republic of China.
"General, who are you?"
Gu Qingcheng didn't know the person coming, but the person called her "Princess Qingcheng" with an obvious coldness in her tone.
Gu Qingcheng was just guessing and knew that this person probably had some grudge against the original owner.
However, the original owner was just a little princess who had lived in a deep palace for a long time.
In the past eighteen years, she had almost never left the imperial city.
Before entering the small world, Gu Qingcheng studied the outline of the story repeatedly.
The warlord mentioned in it claimed to be a slave and said that he had been whipped seven or forty-nine times by his original master. Gu Qingcheng was quite confused.
In the palace, the only people the original owner had access to were eunuchs and maids.
And the only slaves she can punish at will are these two types of people.
Could it be that the male protagonist (a ruthless warlord) is a eunuch?
... Gu Qingcheng tried his best to control his eyes, not to look at the lower third of the military uniformed man opposite.
Gu Qingcheng bets that as long as the other party notices his eyes, he will definitely run away on the spot!
Huh?
Wait, he may not be a eunuch!
There is another kind of person - an actor.
Queen Mother Ye is a theater lover. Although she can only guard one palace, the handsome men who come and go outside will not interfere with the affairs of the palace.
Queen Mother Ye could still bring famous opera troupes from Beijing to sing in the palace.
This also makes it possible for foreign men to enter the capital!
so--
As Gu Qingcheng's eyes moved, he had already guessed the possible identity of the "male protagonist".
Gu Qingcheng kept guessing, but the visitor's eyes were filled with frost because of her question just now.
"Haha, the princess is indeed a noble person."
You noble people forget things so much.
Huo Yun had no idea that the little princess he had hated for seven or eight years would not remember him at all.
Perhaps, to her, the actor she whipped back then was really just a lowly slave, not worth mentioning!
