After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Jiang Baiji really wanted to kick Meicheng Ling in the stomach so that his ribs would be broken.

The magistrate of Meicheng also had a lot of grievances. He rose to prominence by surrendering to the Northern Han court and seized the opportunity to rise rapidly from a mere clerk. At first, he did feel that his ancestors' graves were filled with resentment for being able to serve as the magistrate of Meicheng, but the good days had been too long and he was no longer satisfied with the status quo. This time, he was looking forward to Captain Jiang personally welcoming the Dongyu envoys and letting them stop in Meicheng for rest. With such a perfect opportunity, of course he had to spare no effort to perform well.

After discussing with a trusted subordinate, the Meicheng Magistrate also firmly believed that the Han Emperor had no intention of letting the Lord of Shenyuan Palace return to Dongyu. Establishing diplomatic relations and negotiating peace was just a trap to "lure the emperor into a trap." But even though it was a trap, he still had to go through the negotiation process. If he gave the Dongyu delegation a warning in Meicheng, he would leave a good impression of being knowledgeable and tactful on General Jiang. Then he could find an opportunity to bribe him and firmly cling to the big tree of the General's Mansion.

When he was punched just now, Meicheng Ling was secretly feeling happy, but now he is not in a good mood at all.

Not to mention that the Lord of Shenyuan Palace has not arrived in Dajing yet, even if he has arrived in Dajing, as long as Northern Han does not want to completely fall out with Dongyu, it cannot block the normal exchange of memorials between the envoys and the Yu court. Jiang Baiji knows very well that his monarch will not allow the plan to force the Lord of Shenyuan Palace to become complicated for the life and death of a mere Wumei slave. Jiang Baiji made a decision quickly.

"Your Excellency has the right to protest. Please do not let the crime of a mere county magistrate distort the sincerity of our monarch's determination to establish diplomatic relations with your country. I can decide today's matter. I will temporarily suspend the punishment of Wu Meinu and wait for your monarch's decision after the formal negotiation. As for the Meicheng magistrate..." Jiang Baiji did not remember the name of the Meicheng magistrate at all: "Your surname is Liu, what's your name?"

"My humble name is Nila."

Jiang Baiji: ...

This bastard actually gave himself a Qiang name, and his Qiang name also means the servant of the immortal god, how can he be worthy of it!!!

"I asked your Chinese name!!!"

The Meicheng magistrate was about to burst into tears, sweating profusely and sobbing: "Your humble servant, your humble servant... My humble name is Kang An."

"Liu Kang'an, you did intend to offend the noble envoy and disrupt diplomatic relations. This is a serious crime. From today on, your Qiang nationality will be revoked and you will be imprisoned in Wumei Cang to await punishment!"

Liu Kangan was struck by lightning.

Just at this time, Liang Hui brought a box of Huoluo Pills to the court. Nanci smiled and said, "Just now I heard that the third brother punched Meicheng Ling in anger. I thought about it for a while and felt that Meicheng Ling should not be short of medicine to treat his injuries. However, it would not be justified if he did not get any compensation. Fortunately, I asked someone to prepare it. Now, Meicheng Ling can use it urgently."

The Third Prince was surprisingly dissatisfied with this box of medicine. Of course, he had already left the court of Meicheng Yamen when he expressed his dissatisfaction - Liu Kang'an had taken down Wumei Cang, but the envoys were still living in the Meicheng Yamen. After such an unpleasant incident, of course Jiang Baiji had to be given some time to calm down his annoyance. Yingshu politely declined Gao's invitation to have lunch together. After the "four-person lunch", they drank tea and chatted.

The third prince said, "Why did Fifth Brother give that dog slave medicine for his wounds? It's just a woman's kindness."

"Brother, you are too stingy, aren't you?" Nanci didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How could I know that Liu was so stupid? He actually brought himself such a big crime by talking too much. I thought that brother had beaten up the officials of Northern Han. Jiang Baiji didn't dare to do anything to brother, but he had to save some face for the general. He stepped down in front of his subordinates."

"Later, my fifth brother saw what happened to him and shouldn't have given him the medicine."

Nanji:……

"It's what we deserve." Yingshu had become accustomed to helping Nanci: "Wumei Nu is a survivor of Dayu, so we should take better care of the survivors."

"What kind of remnant is he? He is a slave who sells out his country for fame and fortune."

"I don't think so." The Lord of Shenyuan Palace expressed his opinion in a low voice: "Liu Kang'an was just an official in the past. Although what he said was untrue, he was not capable of selling out his country. It was not his responsibility that Guanzhong was occupied by the Qiang tribe. He was indeed a survivor of Dayu. In order to protect himself and seek glory, he killed the survivors. It was indeed despicable and shameless. The survivors he persecuted should hate him and scold him, but now he has got the fate he deserves. At least we are not qualified to trample on him just because he once helped the tyrant. Ah Shu, we should protest to the monarch of Northern Han and stop the monarch and ministers of the Qiang tribe from abusing and persecuting the survivors of Dayu."

"Since the two countries want to establish diplomatic relations, our dynasty can certainly propose that the Northern Han Dynasty treat the Qiang people and the survivors equally. At least the Wumei Warehouse should be abolished, but this cannot completely save the survivors from the dire situation." Ying Shu pointed out: "The survivors who were lucky enough to migrate south to Dayu still could not escape the fate of being enslaved. Although Dayu did not have the Wumei Warehouse, there were many slaves who were beaten to death by the powerful. The Yi tribe's contempt for the survivors is deep-rooted. We can't expect them to sacrifice the interests of their own people and take care of the survivors' livelihood first."

The Lord of Shenyuan Palace sighed deeply.

The third prince, who was in high spirits because he punched Liu Kangan and caused him to be convicted, was no longer in a good mood.

"Your Highness the Third Prince saved a survivor from torture today," Ying Shu said.

"We can only save as many people as possible now." The third prince was still depressed.

The Lord of Shenyuan Palace then took a big sip of the bitter tea, and this time he filled his own cup.

They will leave Meicheng tomorrow and continue to march towards Chang'an. In the evening of this day, Liang Hui carried a cloth bag and wandered around the mansion for a long time. Finally, when Lord Shenyuan came to the mansion for a walk, he stepped forward and handed the cloth bag to Lord Shenyuan, explaining bluntly: "I heard from the Third Prince that Lord Shenyuan loves to drink wild tea. These are what I picked along the way. I took advantage of the two days of rest and dried them. They are just dried. After boiling them into tea, they still have the original flavor. Lord Shenyuan can keep them and drink them slowly."

Lord: ...

Ling Shang Gong was beside the Palace Master, and she saw Liang Hui's words and deeds, and told Ying Shu in private as a funny thing: "The Palace Master never thought that Deputy Commander Liang would actually remember her hobby. He really took the time to pick a lot of wild tea, and thought that it would be easier to store after drying. Not only did he watch over it to dry it himself, but he also wrapped it in oil paper to store it separately, so it would be less likely to get damp and change its taste.

The prince stared at the bag of wild tea in a daze, "My lady, I shouldn't be overthinking this time."

"Tell me what you think?" Yingshu immediately became interested.

"In the past, the Third Prince was similar to the Second Prince, both of them were eager to show their courtesy, but in fact, they both had other intentions. But now, the Third Prince is truly respectful to the Lord, but he is not as attentive as before. I have also heard that the person the Third Prince truly loves is the young lady of the Yu family. Although the young lady Yu will probably only be a concubine in the future, I have selfish motives and always hope that the Lord can marry a good man who is devoted to her.

I have been observing carefully during this period of time, and the Lord of the Palace should have no intention of treating the Third Prince well. But now the Lord of the Palace and the Third Prince are destined to stick together, and of course they cannot deliberately distance themselves from each other.

Deputy Commander Liang had never had the opportunity to get close to Dianjun in the past, but during this diplomatic mission, he was very attentive. Some time ago, Dianjun was seasick, and Deputy Commander Liang always asked Sishui whether Dianjun's symptoms had eased. Later, when they changed to land travel, Dianjun insisted on riding a horse, and he always followed from a distance. If this was still his duty, picking wild tea by hand, drying it and packaging it, this was not the duty of the deputy commander of the delegation.

And I see that the Palace Master's attitude towards Deputy Commander Liang is also unusual. Young Master, I only know that Deputy Commander Liang is the legitimate son of the Shangcai Marquis and has never been married. He is already in his twenties, why is he still unmarried?"

There was nothing wrong with Liang Hui. In his previous life, he was married and had children. Yingshu had never heard of any bad deeds done by him. She had even dealt with Liang Hui's wife, although they were only casual acquaintances.

"Does Lady Ling want to be the matchmaker?" Yingshu asked.

"How could I have the qualifications? I just pity that Your Highness has no parents, and Your Majesty is busy with government affairs. He hasn't even decided on the marriages of several princes and princesses. I'm afraid he won't be able to consider Your Highness's marriage for a while. After all, Your Highness is already over 20 years old, and he clearly has feelings for Deputy Commander Liang. I'm afraid that Your Highness himself will not be willing to ask Your Majesty to arrange a marriage for him, and if he delays, he will miss out on another good match."

"Deputy Commander Liang is a military officer, mostly in the military camp. He was often sent out to fight in the past few years, which delayed his marriage. But as far as I know, he is the late son of Marquis Shangcai, who values ​​him very much. Last year, Deputy Commander Liang was transferred to the Imperial Guard. In theory, Marquis Shangcai should also consider his marriage. As for why there is no news yet, I don't know, but I can ask the Fifth Prince to find out."

"That's great. The Fifth Prince is now the head of the diplomatic mission and the superior of Deputy Commander Liang. It's not uncommon for a superior to care about the marriage of his subordinates. I won't make a mistake. Deputy Commander Liang clearly loves you, and he's sincere about it. As for you, I'm not sure if you just like Deputy Commander Liang or you're in love. You regard me as your confidant, so maybe you'd be more willing to tell me what's in your heart."

So that day, Yingshu squeezed into the carriage that the prince was riding in.

She knew that among the guards sent by Northern Han, there must be those with extraordinary hearing. However, Dianjun was the chief envoy and a woman. The carriage she was riding in was surrounded by the military maids carefully selected by His Majesty. Besides the military maids, there were the guards of Dayu's envoys. She spoke in a low voice in the carriage and was not afraid of being overheard by the spies of Northern Han.

"I heard from Ling Shang Gong that Deputy Commander Liang is a thoughtful person. He knew that the prince liked to drink wild tea, so he picked a lot of it..."

The Lord of the Divine Yuan Palace sighed deeply, "To be honest with you, Ah Shu, I am not used to drinking wild tea. It's just that I pretended to like it that day in order to appease the Third Prince. But the Third Prince himself couldn't get used to it and mistakenly thought that I was really used to it. He made wild tea for several days in a row, so it was even more difficult for me to tell the truth.

What I didn't expect was that more and more people misunderstood me. Deputy Commander Liang had good intentions, so I couldn't tell the truth to Ling Shang Gong. I thought about distributing so much tea to the maids, but who knew that they all said they couldn't get used to it. They all thought I could get used to it, and without waiting for my instructions, they boiled several water bags for me. It's really worrying."

Yingshu:......

He couldn't help laughing so hard that he leaned on the bench. "After all, Concubine Ling is overthinking. She saw that the Lord was staring at the wild tea sent by Deputy Commander Liang and thought that the Lord was moved by Deputy Commander Liang's sincerity. She asked me to come here just to verify it."

Seeing that the Lord of Shenyuan Palace lowered his head and didn't speak, Yingshu couldn't tell whether the Lord was shy or not, and leaned towards the Lord: "I also misunderstood that the Lord was used to drinking wild tea, but I didn't think of picking it on the way, drying it, and keeping it for the Lord to drink. I'm not so thoughtful, Ling Shanggong, Sishui and the others didn't think of it either. Therefore, Ling Shanggong may not have thought too much about one thing, and Deputy Commander Liang is pleased with the Lord."

"I know, I'm not that slow." Dianjun simply leaned towards Yingshu and reached out to play with the acacia seeds hanging from Yingshu's waist. "I understand Deputy Commander Liang's thoughts. He really likes me and really cares about me. I admit that I'm happy about this. Ah Shu, Deputy Commander Liang is also my savior. At that time, I was being hunted down and thought I was going to die. Thanks to meeting Deputy Commander Liang, he didn't know my identity at the time, but he didn't hesitate to save me.

He is not like those people I met later, who flattered me and tried to please me in order to use me. I have Ah Shu, Ling Shang Gong, Si Shui and Xiang Yun by my side. You are willing to share life and death with me. I feel very lucky to have your friendship. I originally had no hope for marriage, and I don’t feel miserable about it.

But I felt Deputy Commander Liang's affection, and I was really happy. But before this, I actually already had someone I loved."

"Ah?" Yingshu was very surprised.

"I just realized it recently. Ah Shu, don't ask me who that person is. This is my secret and I want to keep it to myself."

"But if you don't tell me, won't I miss the person I love?"

"Whether I say it or not, we will miss each other." Dianjun looked at the blood-red acacia, as if he saw the brilliant sunset again, falling into a pair of cold eyes: "If he doesn't care about me, whether I say it or not, the result is my wishful thinking. If he is interested in me, I will not ignore his even the slightest hint. I still haven't lost hope. The me in the past could not enter his sight at all. If I want to gain his affection, I must be reborn. I have to become a real, strong person. I have to determine the path I want to take, so that I have a chance to walk with him.

Ah Shu, I have never been so clear-headed before. No matter what the outcome between him and me is, I will not be sad. I long for a good man to accompany me, but even if it is one-sided, I will not feel lonely and desolate. I already have close friends around me. After the fall of Daji Kingdom, I am actually luckier than any girl from the Xuan family who owns a jade pendant.

I cannot live up to Deputy Commander Liang's sincerity towards me, so I cannot give him any response now. If he must give me a response, I will tell him that I am only grateful to him. I thank him for saving my life, and I am even more grateful for his sincerity towards me. But now I really regard him as only a benefactor and a good friend. I cannot deceive him just because we have no marriage destiny. He and I are not in love with each other. "

"I guess Deputy Commander Liang will not confess at this time." Yingshu held Dianjun's hand: "Dianjun, don't feel pressured."

She didn't know who Dianjun liked.

But the possible people are actually only a limited number.

Yingshu had no intention of screening and excluding. She was now indifferent to the love between men and women. She had never been interested in being a matchmaker. She just hoped that the fate of the Lord of Shenyuan Palace could be completely changed. Everyone had the right to choose their own destiny. Although her ideas were very different from those of the Lord of Shenyuan Palace, she respected the Lord's choice.

She still regards Nanci as a brother and a good friend.

But she accepted Nanci's token of love. It was her choice.

Until now, apart from her biological father, no man means more to her in her heart than Nanci. Since Nanci has decided to marry her, she must go hand in hand with Nanci. The love between men and women is the most changeable and unpredictable emotion. She has experienced it and seen through it.

She smiled and said to Dianjun: "No matter what, I still hope that Dianjun's wish will come true. One day, I will suddenly realize the secret that Dianjun didn't tell me, because I have seen that Dianjun has found a good partner."
