After being forced to marry a tyrant: I overturned the original plot

Chapter 21: Market, the chapter of distress is too fast

"My queen, the capital of Chen Kingdom is much more prosperous and lively than our Yu Kingdom!"

Huan'er originally looked down upon people with a disdainful gaze (? ), but when she followed Qin Xin into the bustling place, she soon revealed a look of surprise.

Shuang'er was quiet, but couldn't help whispering, "It's so big and lively. There are more styles of jewelry sold here than in Yuguo..."

Perhaps she was shocked that she was belittling her motherland, and Shuang'er covered her lips with both hands as soon as she finished speaking.

A pair of anxious eyes looked at Qin Xin.

But Qin Xin didn't notice her little look, she just -

“Wow, this is made of pure gold?”

"Huan'er, pay quickly. This box is beautiful and perfect for earrings."

"Shuang'er, look at this bronze mirror. Is it clearer than the one in our palace?"

How to say it, Huan'er, who was just worried that she was a "country bumpkin" who brought shame to the Empress and the Yu Kingdom, instantly blushed and looked at the guards behind her nervously.

Your Majesty, are you so... useless?

But then I thought, the Queen may not have seen as much of the world as they have.

After all, before the marriage, the queen lived in the mountains.

The two palace maids suddenly looked at each other with telepathy, and saw "sympathy" and "heartache" in each other's eyes.

The queen is a very good master, she doesn’t beat or scold me, she isn’t picky and she isn’t spoiled. It’s hard to find a master as easy to serve as this even with a lantern!

From now on, they must be loyal to the empress. Only when the master is doing well can the servants succeed.

Qin Xin didn't know that her, a purely modern person, would be amazed at the sight of so many ancient antiques being sold on street stalls, and that the palace maids behind her would interpret it in so many ways.

She is not afraid of being laughed at, because she is in the modern world, and the people in the book cannot see her. Her confidence comes from the foundation of the modern peaceful and happy era.

"This, this, and that—buy them all!"

Now that she was the honorable queen, Qin Xin waved her hand and generously bought everything she liked.

The guards followed her carrying large and small bags, and some of them had cramps in their hands.

But Qin Xin would buy anything new she saw to try - it was true that when you have money, you will want to be willful.

She was also generous and bought some for the two maids.

As for the guards, she asked Huan'er to give each of them a gold leaf when they passed by the clothing shop.

All the money she spent was "Mr. Gu's", and when she came out of the clothing shop, she brought a few items for Mr. Gu out of gratitude.

Well, comradeship is still useful. Now that he has become rich, he wants to share some of his wealth with his fellow villager.

As we walked, we went a little off the track.

What I saw was different from the bustling scene just now.

There are few stalls here, people look tired, and laughter is even rarer.

It is obvious to the naked eye that people here are much poorer.

Some of the children were wearing patched clothes and were skinny... they looked so pitiful.

"My lady, don't go any further. There are many low-class people around here. Don't dirty your shoes."

A guard walked respectfully behind Qin Xin and advised him like this.

Untouchable...

Qin Xin frowned and instinctively disliked this word.

"We are all... common people. Can we still distinguish between the noble and the humble?"

Originally he wanted to say "people", but when he thought of the ancient royal background, Qin Xin changed his words.

The guard heard the displeasure in Qin Xin's tone and immediately changed the subject.

"Not really, it's just that the people here don't have the ability to make a living, and they have no power or influence. They are worried that someone will see you wearing luxurious clothes and make trouble..."

But before the guard could finish his words, a little beggar rushed out from the corner holding a broken bowl.

He came straight to Qin Xin and stretched out his hand, but when he saw Qin Xin's clean and beautiful skirt, he hurriedly withdrew his hand.

With a dirty face, he looked at Qin Xin pitifully: "Sister, give me some food."

Hey……

It is said that one should help in emergencies but not in poverty. In modern times, Qin Xin was once surrounded by several people and extorted for money because she gave donations to beggars at the station.

But here... She bit her lip silently. She was very rich and was the queen. Any help would count, right?

She looked at Shuang'er behind her, but before she could say anything, an old man came out.

"If you have pity on this little beggar, just give him some food, but don't give him money..."

Qin Xin glanced at the old man, who had set up a stall on the side of the road, and was giving a kind reminder.

She nodded, she certainly understood.

I've watched a lot of TV dramas. If she were a refugee, she would just run away because if she gave in, she would be attacked by a group of refugees.

But this place is just a little poor, it’s not to the point of being chaotic.

What's more, it's the capital city, and the public security is still good under the emperor's feet.

She brought guards with her. But if she gave him money, the child would probably not be saved and would be snatched away by someone who saw him, and he would be in danger.

After handing the pastry to the little beggar, Qin Xin thought for a moment, and then asked the guard who had just spoken in a condescending manner to distribute the remaining food to the beggars along the street.

I can't help so many people, so I'll go back and tell Gu Fei about it, and ask him, the King of Chen, to find a way to solve it.

After Qin Xin distributed the cakes, she turned around and saw a dark shadow rushing towards her. Before he got close, he was frightened by the guard drawing his sword.

Qin Xin stared coldly at the gangster who was trying to attack her.

"If you don't tell the truth, you'll be thrown into jail."

Her kindness is also principled.

"Your Excellency is so rich, why don't you help us a little more!" The little thug was frightened by the knife and dared not step forward, but glared at Qin Xin fiercely and said cynically, "You nobles who plunder the people's blood and sweat are hypocritical! You think you are kind by giving us some food? Bah! Hypocrisy!"

The guards wanted to arrest this rash man, but Qin Xin said, "Forget it, go back."

Why bother with a paper man?

She brought a lot of people with her, and the guards had just drawn their swords, so no one dared to block her way.

Soon, she was back in the bustling market.

It is hard to believe that the polarization between prosperity and poverty is only less than 500 meters away.

"Oh, Madam, why did you come back from there? His Majesty saw that you hadn't returned for a long time, so he sent people out to look for you——"

When he arrived at the door of the restaurant, he saw the little eunuch looking forward to it. The latter immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Xin coming back.

Qin Xin looked calm: "Is your majesty still in there?"

Young eunuch: "Yes, yes, with the Imperial Master..."

"Clang-"

As they were talking, the window on the second floor broke and a man rolled out.

Qin Xin looked closely and found that it was the guard beside Gu Fei!

She heard the sound of fighting on the second floor and her eyelids jumped -

Gu Fei was so unlucky, how come he was assassinated again? !

It's really true that as soon as I'm not with him for a while, he will encounter unexpected bad luck. The pace of getting into danger is too fast!

Qin Xin, who couldn't help but feel nervous and resentful, immediately dropped the oil paper bag of food in his hand, snatched the guard's sword, and then pushed through the messy crowd and rushed in.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

The guards behind him, who were slow to react, immediately drew their swords and followed closely behind.
