January 24th is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Jincheng, Zhangyuan.
The last emperor wore a dragon robe and held a Zhengdan court meeting in the living room.
Ahem, it was said to be a court meeting, but it was actually just a group of old people and young people coaxing the emperor to have fun.
"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"
"Everyone loves you!"
Seeing the 20 or 30 people kneeling down with cheers and the last emperor sitting in the main hall, I felt that wonderful feeling of dominating the world and being superior.
Alas, it's a pity that this is just a small courtyard, not his palace!
The courtiers were also mixed, and they lacked the solemnity and dignity of the previous court.
"reward!"
Although he felt that there was a "fly in the ointment", the late emperor still had a taste of the emperor's addiction.
After kowtowing and shouting "Long Live the Mountain", this is the reward part that all the "courtiers" like to see.
According to the level of "grade", the last emperor was rewarded.
There are more than one envelope worth of silver dollars.
All the rewards added up to at least several hundred silver dollars.
The last emperor spent money to his heart's content, and the old and the young could also get rewards from their emperor.
It can be said that everyone is happy.
The queen wore a long dress and met many female relatives in the flower hall on the other side.
The topics discussed by the women were more relaxed.
From foreigners to foreign students, from men to concubines.
There are also topics such as clothes, jewelry, hairstyles, makeup, cocktail parties, hall meetings, etc.
As they were talking, someone mentioned Gu Qingcheng next door.
"I heard that Princess Qingcheng is having a great time in the capital."
"Yes, not only did she hook up with a foreigner, but she also became a good sister with the daughter of the Marshal's mansion."
"I've heard about it too. If someone wants to make trouble for Princess Qingcheng, she doesn't even need to take action herself. The handsome daughter will kill them with a whip."
"Oh, she is Princess Gu Lun after all. She can live a decent life in the capital even after leaving the palace!"
"What is this? I also heard that after the New Year, Princess Qingcheng will be ugly to the country. I heard that Country Y also invited her."
Jincheng is too close to the capital, and all kinds of gossip news can be transmitted in the shortest time.
The status of Princess Qingcheng as a royal noblewoman has attracted the greatest attention from the survivors of the previous dynasty.
Therefore, even if they are two to three hundred miles away, the female relatives in Jincheng can know the latest news about the princess in Beijing.
When the queen heard everyone's chattering, she couldn't help but squeeze the veil tightly.
Princess Qingcheng is so famous in the capital?
Not only was he not "purged" by the commander-in-chief of the New Army, but he also became a guest in the commander-in-chief's mansion?
And those foreigners.
In Jincheng, there were also many foreign consuls, and the emperor and the queen also tried their best to make friends with them.
When the emperor and empress first arrived, they indeed caused quite a stir.
However, gradually, only a few "courtiers" were left in Zhang Yuan, but the foreigners were not so enthusiastic.
This made the queen, who was addicted to socializing, liked dancing and horse riding, quite disappointed.
In fact, even the last emperor was probably disappointed.
I thought that when I came to Jincheng and stayed away from the new army, I could form an alliance with the foreigners and then rely on the foreigners to restore the country.
Unexpectedly, in less than two months, just...
Of all the Waiguo consuls, only Nihong still maintained his enthusiasm for the late emperor.
And Princess Qingcheng next door has already begun to "visit" abroad!
At the end of the emperor's side, there was a Zhengdan court meeting, and there should have been "envoys from foreign countries" to congratulate them, but in the end, they were all absent!
"Those foreigners just don't have any rules. They left the emperor alone and went to fawn over a girl!"
"What happened to Princess Gu Lun? She is also a princess. We in Daqing don't have a queen."
"...Qingcheng is the same. Even though she and the Emperor are not flesh and blood, they are still cousins. She has a good relationship with foreigners, so why doesn't she know how to help the Emperor?"
"She's also going to visit Chou Country! She's just a princess, what can she visit?"
The queen was secretly annoyed while listening to the female relatives praising Princess Qingcheng.
She was even thinking, should she tell the emperor about going to Chou Country with Princess Qingcheng?
No matter how noble Princess Qingcheng is, she is still just a princess.
The emperor is the orthodoxy.
The Last Emperor: ...I also want to go, but the problem is that the ugly people in my country won’t agree.
Probably even that damn girl Qingcheng would not agree.
He has not forgotten that that day in the capital, Princess Qingcheng looked arrogant and indifferent.
No rules, no respect!
It’s okay not to want a sister like this!
…
Gu Qingcheng didn't care at all about what was happening in Jincheng and what the emperor and empress thought.
Those who are willing to immerse themselves in the dream of the dynasty can't help themselves, just do whatever they want.
Gu Qingcheng was about to make the next step.
The Xishan Military Camp has been taken over. With the generous treatment, Gu Qingcheng not only has three hundred princess guards, but also two to three hundred more people.
She already has a regular regiment of troops under her command!
She selected sixty people from them to escort her to Chou Country.
Well, this was what she had negotiated with Mr. Durang.
With the endorsement of the Dulang family, Gu Qingcheng can enter the Chou Kingdom with his own guards and fully armed.
The remaining 500 people were arranged by Gu Qingcheng to go to the outskirts of Beijing.
The location is great, Chinatown!
Ahem, Gu Qingcheng has not forgotten her ancestral grave.
There is no rush to take action now, just send the troops over for "practice" first.
Suppressing a bandit is the right to train troops.
On the surface, Gu Qingcheng will not separate the territory, but she wants to control this area in her own hands.
Although there are only a few hundred people, there are foreigners and the Marshal's Mansion behind her.
An Qi, the arrogant young lady, has completely become her good sister.
Even if Gu Qingcheng is not around, An Qi will help her take care of her "home"!
Just wait for Gu Qingcheng to come back from Chou Country, just wait for her to find the best excuse, and she can do it!
…
Woo~~
A huge ship made a low roar, and Gu Qingcheng boarded it with a jade bracelet and sixty guards.
Another palace maid, Yu Ping, was left behind by Gu Qingcheng to handle the affairs of the princess palace and the military camp together with Zixuan Gege, who had just received her subordinate.
"Princess, we are really going to Chou Country!"
Standing on the deck, looking at the vast sea and the unknown future, the jade bracelet, which had never left the capital, felt somewhat panicked.
She followed Gu Qingcheng closely and said in a low voice, "Is the Dulang family reliable?"
"Princess, will they deceive you?"
Gu Qingcheng curled her lips and said softly, "You have to rely on yourself even if you can't rely on me!"
Is there anyone in this world who is 100% reliable?
Even Bill didn't completely believe her.
As for the Dulang family behind him, they probably just have the idea of "three poles if there are dates but no dates".
Gu Qingcheng's prescription was coveted by the Dulang family, but it wasn't to the point where she had to take it.
This trip to Chou Country may not go smoothly.
However, Gu Qingcheng is not afraid.
She has too many cards.
As long as she goes, she will have a way to achieve her goal!
During the journey and on the cruise ship, Gu Qingcheng was not idle either.
She brought many books borrowed from Shuimu and the University Hall, most of which were related to mechanics, engineering and other majors.
Yuchuan: ...I can’t understand! I can't understand it at all!
This kind of highly professional book cannot be read by ordinary people.
Not to mention, there are still some original books.
The twists and turns of the tadpole text make me dizzy just by looking at the jade bracelet.
But my own princess actually enjoyed watching it.
After reading a lot, she would even take out a piece of white paper and draw on it.
Bill, who followed him back to China, was also a little surprised to see such a charming princess.
He felt more and more that this princess was mysterious.
It’s just that he is proficient in multiple languages, but he is also so communicative.
Tsk tsk, that Miss An Qi from the Marshal's Mansion looks like she is showing her teeth and claws, but in fact she has become a "believer" of Princess Qingcheng.
Nowadays, Princess Qingcheng is stuck in boring professions such as machinery manufacturing.
Well, if his information is correct, Princess Qingcheng did not receive a systematic Western education.
She didn't even go to school.
At most, Princess Qingcheng listened in when His Majesty the Emperor was in class.
Could it be that Princess Qingcheng is a genius and can be self-taught?
Bill was extremely curious.
As a straightforward and casual Ugly Chinese, when he has questions, he will express them.
He began to discuss some purely scientific things with Gu Qingcheng.
To Bill's surprise, Princess Qingcheng really "understood".
This is amazing.
What’s even more amazing is yet to come——
"I heard that the Durang family has its own aircraft manufacturing company?"
Gu Qingcheng is more direct than Bill.
She did not test or beat around the bush, but went straight to the point, "If it is convenient, I would like to visit your company."
Bill:…
Aircraft manufacturing?
Regardless of whether it is kept secret or not, if Princess Qingcheng is really curious about airplanes, he can take her to fly the airplane.
But, an aircraft manufacturing company?
That’s where airplanes are made!
Even if Princess Qingcheng is a layperson, she won’t be able to understand it even if she goes there!
Gu Qingcheng: ...it’s not you who has the final say whether you understand or not!
Faced with the question that was almost written on Bill's face, Gu Qingcheng curled her lips and said, "Mr. Du Lang, you may not know something."
"In our dynasty, the royal family has always been a magical existence."
"There was a dynasty before Daqing, and there was an emperor in that dynasty, and he liked to do carpentry very much!"
"In an earlier dynasty, there was an emperor who was good at calligraphy..."
In short, there were quite a few foolish emperors in the history of the Celestial Dynasty who were "excellent in other professions except the emperor."
Bill: "So?"
"I am also from the royal family and am the only princess of Daqing."
"As for me, I just like to study mechanical manufacturing."
The words "you coax me" were written in Bill's green eyes.
This is true, why doesn't he believe it so much?
"Whether what I said is true or false, we will find out if we go to the manufacturing workshop and try it out!"
Gu Qingcheng was full of confidence.
Bill was a little convinced when he saw her bright and flamboyant appearance.
So, after waiting a month, the cruise ship arrived in Ugly Country.
Bill did not take Gu Qingcheng to inspect the pharmaceutical factory, but went straight to the aircraft manufacturing company owned by the Dulang family.
Gu Qingcheng didn't hide her clumsiness at all.
When I came to the workshop, I picked up a component and could judge whether it was qualified by just touching it with my hand.
Huoshui continued to pick his nose: ...Are you kidding!
Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven is a master with a series of god-level skills such as level 9 fitter, level 9 welder, level 9 lathe... etc.
In the field of machinery manufacturing, she is the supreme god!
PS: Well, Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven has begun to kill everyone, (#^.^#)
