"Wanwan, I'm doing this for our future. Are you willing to hide in the princess mansion for the rest of your life and never go out to see anyone?"
When a princess marries, the chosen husband-in-law should not be of poor family background, otherwise he will fall into the prestige of the royal family, but those children of the family are like human beings, for the benefit of the family, maybe they will be able to cook rice. this relationship.
Those people must not be contaminated, and if they are contaminated, it will not be easy to get out.
And those scholars who come from poor families cannot be chosen. They have earned fame after ten or even decades of hard study and can serve the country. If she marries them and then reunites with them, their future will be greatly improved. hindered.
Princess Qinghe chooses and chooses, but she can't find a suitable candidate. Recently, Brother Huang has told her about her marriage intentionally or unintentionally. According to Brother Huang, she must get married. , otherwise it will affect the reputation of other princesses in the royal family.
She couldn't drag on any longer, and just at this moment, Qi Wang walked into Princess Qinghe's vision.
Princess Qinghe quickly made some calculations and found that Qi Wang was really a good candidate for herself.
First of all, his family background is enough. As the son of the prime minister, he is completely qualified to be a princess.
However, as a child of an aristocratic family, Qi Wang's situation is somewhat different from others. He grew up in the countryside and knows nothing about etiquette. According to the news that Princess Qinghe sent someone to find out, his position in the Prime Minister's Mansion is also very embarrassing. Qi Yuanhang and Qi Nuo's attitude towards him was a bit subtle, and only Lin Qinshuang in the Prime Minister's Mansion had a kind of motherly affection for him.
A son-in-law who has a family background but is not favored at home, and he has saved his life, and his appearance is also extremely good. If he takes a fancy to him, it can be justified.
After investigating these, she moved her mind, and then found Qi Wang as quickly as possible, and brought him into the mansion.
However, this is probably the first time that Princess Qinghe has done something to force someone, and she also knows that this time, she did not do it well, because she felt ashamed, so she inevitably wanted to develop a relationship with Qi Wang , Let him not reject himself so much.
It’s just that the Princess Mansion is only this big, and Wanwan’s status in the mansion is a bit special, and with Princess Qinghe’s previous orders, everyone will basically not hide anything from her, so Princess Qinghe and Qi Wang had a very happy chat, and the relationship became more and more intense The news still reached Wan Wan's ears.
Princess Qinghe told Wanwan all her thoughts and plans, and seeing that her expression had softened, Princess Qinghe continued to talk.
"Wanwan, my love for you can be learned from all over the world. This friendship can't be faked at all. Do you trust me? I'm doing this for our future."
This world is harsh on women. Even if Princess Qinghe is a royal princess, she will still be criticized by others because of the accident that happened in her childhood. There will be any troubles, but Wan Wan, who is loved by her, will definitely be reviled by thousands of people.
And if the emperor knew about this, for the sake of the princess's reputation, he might give Wanwan a glass of poisoned wine and make her die.
Princess Qinghe couldn't accept such a result. She didn't feel that she was wrong. She just fell in love with someone. Unfortunately, that person was also a woman with her. This relationship was destined to be ruled by the world. Not allowed.
Princess Qinghe has already made up her mind that when they leave the capital and settle down in the south of the Yangtze River, she will take Wan Wan as her personal maid. In this way, even if they get along day and night, no one will say anything .
A royal princess can't stay unmarried all her life, but after getting married, she reconciles and divorces, and then chooses to raise her face. There are many princesses who never get married all their lives. This is the only way she can go.
Princess Qinghe held a heart in front of Wanwan, and she told Wanwan that she really loved her and everything she did was for her.
"Next year at the most, I can take you away. Don't you like the scenery of Jiangnan water town? I'll take you to buy a house there. The layout inside is all according to your preferences. You can decorate it however you want. If you like it My child, let's go to Shantang to bring back two children who have no father and no mother. I will accompany you in whatever you want. Now I just hope that you will bear it for me, as long as you have more than half a year of hard work. …”
Wanwan's heart softened.
Princess Qinghe is a royal princess, but she has planned so much to be with her, how lucky is she to get her love
Wanwan was so moved that she threw herself into Princess Qinghe's arms and began to cry.
Princess Qinghe didn't speak, but gently stroked her hair, patted her back, and kissed her long hair that exuded the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.
"Don't cry, the hard days are only temporary, when I have taken care of everything, our good days are yet to come..."
Wanwan hummed lightly, and hugged Princess Qinghe even tighter.
Her whole life is like duckweed, wandering and helpless, and the only person she can hold on to is Princess Qinghe. Her support, her love, and all her honor, disgrace and pride are all tied to Princess Qinghe.
Princess Qinghe can do so many things for her, can't she endure some grievances for her
At this time, the moon broke free from the clouds, and the silver-white moonlight fell down. Both of them seemed to be covered with a thin layer of silver gauze. The precious flowers in the garden were in full bloom under the moonlight. The aromas overlapped, and the whole space seemed to be filled with tempting aromas.
Qi Wang didn't expect that he would come out on a whim and find out such a big secret.
He remembered that in the original plot, Princess Qinghe stood behind Qi Erzhu in obscurity, helping him step by step to a high position. Everyone said that Princess Qinghe really loved Qi Erzhu because he already had a wife and son in his family, and she couldn't bear it. Destroying Qi Erzhu's family, that's why he has been guarding silently.
It seems that in the original plot, Princess Qinghe's willingness to give is indeed hidden. The person she really admires is a woman, and the relationship between the two is destined to be intolerable by the world.
So she portrayed herself as an infatuated woman who is infatuated with love, willing to never marry for the person she admires.
Such feelings are really epic.
It's just that she absolutely shouldn't, she shouldn't have involved such an innocent person as Qi Wang.
But this life is different from the development in the original plot. At that time, it was Qi Erzhu who saved Princess Qinghe, but he was married and had a wife, so Princess Qinghe naturally couldn't marry him.
And in this way, it is exactly what Princess Qinghe meant. The person she likes already has a wife and a daughter. She doesn't want to use power to overwhelm him. She just likes him silently, and then helps him when he needs it, and becomes his golden thigh. , and helped him step by step on the road to Qingyun.
Later, because of this deep affection, Princess Qinghe indeed received a lot of praise, which reversed her previous bad reputation.
Or it can be said that people in this world like to create affectionate characters. A person who values love and righteousness will always be liked by others, and who values love and righteousness without asking for anything in return is even more praised by others.
Princess Qinghe is a royal princess, but she deeply loves another man who has a family and a business. She does not disturb him or destroy his life, but helps him silently. A woman who doesn't ask for anything in return is the existence that all men dream of.
There is no doubt that the image of Princess Qinghe was very successful, and no one doubted her feelings for Qi Erzhu. The name of her infatuation spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Who would doubt that a woman who loves another man deeply and is willing to give silently for him really loves another woman
But this time the person who rescued Princess Qinghe was replaced by Qi Huang. He was not married, so Princess Qinghe simply changed her strategy, married first and then divorced, and then took her lover away.
According to Princess Qinghe's personality, Qi Wang should be compensated to some extent, but this is not what Qi Wang wants.
Seeing the loving same-sex couple enter the room not far away, Qi Wang waited for a while before silently jumping down from the tree and returning to his yard quietly.
After going back, Qi Wang didn't rest, he took out what he had written before, read it carefully, filled in some missing details, confirmed that it was correct, and then put away the stack of papers .
During this period of time, he lived with Princess Qinghe, although his freedom was restricted, but Princess Qinghe treated him pretty well, and would send all the things he wanted, and half a month was enough for Qi Huang to free up what he wanted. something.
It was already late at night, Qi Wang felt a little tired, he didn't think much, he turned and went back to his room to rest.
Not long after breakfast the next day, Princess Qinghe came over. She was wearing a red long dress embroidered with gorgeous peony patterns, with a high bun and a few unique gold jewelry on it. The makeup on her face was lighter than yesterday, and the light lipstick made her less aggressive and more approachable.
"Master Qi, did you sleep well last night?"
If you say that this Princess Qinghe is also a talent, she obviously came here to plot people, but she just acted like she was in love with someone. If she came here in a simpler way, she would probably be given by Princess Qinghe. Coaxed away.
After all, she is outstanding in appearance, and she is also a royal princess. She has status and background, meets all his requirements except freedom, and keeps saying that she wants to marry him as his wife. Who in this world can bear it
Not to mention that Qi Wang didn't have any intentions towards Princess Qinghe at all, after knowing that Princess Qinghe's heart belonged to him last night, and after finding him only to be a tool, it's even more impossible for Qi Wang to have any interest in Princess Qinghe.
After Princess Qinghe asked Qi Wang if he ate well and slept well as if it was a routine, she was about to find another topic to chat with Qi Wang, but before she was ready to speak, Qi Wang took a stack of paper and put it on the table. In front of Princess Qinghe.
Princess Qinghe raised her eyebrows, her eyes fell on the paper in front of her.
These words were written by Qi Wang, and Princess Qinghe could recognize them. In fact, she always felt that Qi Wang's character was different from his real character, and these things could be seen from the words he wrote.
These words seem gentle and restrained, but the subtleties of horizontal, horizontal and vertical are hidden. If you stare at them for a long time, they will give people a sharp feeling.
But everyone has two sides, Qi Wang doesn't say anything, she doesn't ask, the person Princess Qinghe really admires is not Qi Wang, so how can she find out what the real him is like
"what is this?"
Princess Qinghe asked a question, picked it up and flipped through it, at first she was a little careless, but just looking at it, the expression on her face became serious.
There is no other reason. What Qi Wang wrote on the paper is a papermaking technique. If this method is really successful, it can greatly increase the speed of paper production.
"Master Qi, are these real?"
Qi Wang nodded, pointed to the stack of paper held by Princess Qinghe and said: "This is the paper I made myself, do you think it is better than rice paper?"
Princess Qinghe was stunned, and hurriedly lowered her head to look at the paper in her hand.
When she just picked it up, she found that the touch of these papers was not right, but she didn't think much about it. However, when she took a closer look, she found that these papers were different from rice paper.
These papers are softer and more delicate than rice paper, and the words written on them are not smudged like rice paper, and the texture is different from rice paper, which is obviously not rice paper.
As a knowledgeable princess, Princess Qinghe naturally knew what the new papermaking technology meant. She took a deep breath and asked, "Can you take me to see it?"
Qi Huan nodded, stood up and signaled Princess Qinghe to be with him.
"Actually, I am not so much inventing a new papermaking technique as I have made a second innovation on the old papermaking technique. The manufacturing process of rice paper is the same as the one I use, but with my method , Both quantity and quality can be greatly improved.”
A piece of rice paper can be sold for one penny, which is too high. Of course, this does not mean that the paper sellers are black-hearted.
It's just that due to the craftsmanship, the cost of rice paper is high, so naturally you need so much money to buy it.
The yard arranged by Princess Qinghe for Qi Wang is not small, and the two rooms behind the pond are where Qi Wang experimented with papermaking.
The smell inside is actually not pleasant, what is rare is that such a pampered princess as Princess Qinghe didn't even frown when she came in, and the acquaintance eagerly asked Qi Wang how these things were operated.
Qi Wang didn't hide from Princess Qinghe, he told the other party every step. If there is one beautiful thing to say, Princess Qinghe's eyes will brighten a little. When she finally saw the finished product, she looked at Qi Wang as if Like glowing.
"Did you come up with all of these? Mr. Qi, you really surprised me. You are simply a genius."
After all, Qi Wang is the second son of the prime minister's mansion. When they sent people to investigate, they only investigated superficially. Not many people knew that Qi Wang was actually a genius. Princess Qinghe always thought that Qi Wang was just a smart person, but now It seems that my perception of Qi Wang is not very accurate.
"If this can be mass-produced, the price of paper will definitely be reduced a lot, and the people of the Zhou Kingdom can save a lot of money when they study in the future.
For scholars, pens, inks and inkstones can be used cheaper, but the demand for paper is very high, even the price of yellow straw paper is not low, let alone rice paper, and the high price of paper represents the price of books It is also high, these things are not affordable by everyone, so the threshold for scholars is actually very high.
And many scholars had to accept some benefits in order to continue to participate in the scientific examination after they obtained their fame, but how could they give them benefits for no reason? After passing the exam, it must be rewarded.
Many officials and merchants will make friends with some scholars in private and support them to study for the imperial examination. In return, after they pass the exam, they will either attach to those officials or reward those merchants.
Many officials have been involved in a huge network of relationships since the beginning of taking part in the scientific examination.
