HCB Chapter 326 Farewell
Chapter 326 Farewell
Fang Qingge immediately let go of the prince's hand and took a few steps back. It was the first time she had seen such a shocking scene and she suddenly felt a little at a loss.
The prince smiled and did not force her, allowing the little woman to break free and retreat.
The officials in the city, the officials accompanying the prince, and the guards stood in front of the prince.
The prince waved to them and walked in front of the people.
*
At this time,
An old man in the crowd raised his head, clasped his hands together, and spoke in a voice as loud as a bell.
"Your Highness, you are the living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering and distress, and you are the god in the hearts of our people.
Today we learned that you are leaving. We cannot repay your kindness. Please accept our humble respects. "
"Bang, bang, bang!" The grateful people kowtowed together. This was not three kowtows, but nine kowtows directly. This was the highest sincerity in their hearts.
The prince's face was somewhat moved.
When he thought of the thousands of people who died from the epidemic and severe cold, his tone was filled with sadness.
"Please stand up, fellow villagers. I feel deeply ashamed. It took me so long to finally let you settle down a little.
Although the city contained the spread of the epidemic and solved the disaster caused by the extreme cold weather, it also paid a heavy price.
So many families have been displaced, so many people have been torn apart. It breaks my heart to think about it.”
The scene was touched by the sad things, and there was a sigh of regret. Yes! After these two disasters, how many intact families are there?
*
The voice of the old man in the crowd choked with sobs.
"Your Highness, although our lost loved ones will never come back, at least you saved the lives of those of us who were still breathing.
You are the reborn parents of our people! Your Highness, rest assured, we will always support you. Please accept our three kowtows."
As he spoke, the old man stood up and sang loudly to the crowd of kneeling common people.
"I bow my head and wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince good health and longevity."
"I kowtow twice, wishing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a prosperous and blessed family."
"I kowtow three times and wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a prosperous life..."
"Bang bang bang" everyone followed the old man's singing and kowtowed three times respectfully.
"rise."
The old man shouted, and the crowd of people kneeling on the ground stood up one after another.
The prince's eyes were moist, and his voice was filled with excitement.
"Thank you for your blessings, fellow villagers. It will take some time for you to recuperate and live a stable life. I hope everyone can unite and work hard to rebuild their homes."
"Thank you, Your Highness. We will live up to Your Highness's expectations. May Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Everyone knelt down and kowtowed again.
The scene was shocking and touching.
*
Eunuch Fu, who had already been moved, wiped the tears from his eyes, stood up and said loudly,
"Okay, let's all go back! Gratitude is not just about words. Cheer up and live a good life when you go back.
Live well and strive to rebuild Jiangnan City into a good place where everyone can have enough food and clothing. Your reward will be to no longer worry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Wow, wow, wow" the applause from the crowd sounded like thunder.
"Yes, yes. Your Excellency is right. Your Highness, please rest assured. We will never let you down and live up to your expectations and the new life you have given us."
"May His Royal Highness the Crown Prince live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
"Everyone, go back! See you later!"
Eunuch Fu helped the prince and Concubine Fang into the carriage.
But the crowd did not disperse.
Under the guidance of several respected people in the city, everyone followed the prince's motorcade quietly and well-behaved for a long distance.
*
As the carriage moved, the touching scenes and passionate words kept flashing and echoing in Fang Qingge's mind, making it difficult for her to calm down for a long time.
Turning around and looking at the prince waving goodbye to the common people of Jiangnan City outside the carriage, I suddenly felt that my man was really good.
Her heart was already alive.
I am considering asking Butler Zhang and Dali to come here to expand our business.
This is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers. Its silk, tea, porcelain and delicious food have all enjoyed an enduring reputation in later generations.
Driving economic development, this can also be considered as helping these grateful people, right? !
Finally, the carriage drove onto the official road, and the crowd that came to see them off turned into small black dots.
At this time, the prince came over from outside the carriage, stirred the charcoal and asked,
"Is it cold?"
"not cold!"
Fingers interlocked. Hearts connected.
The carriage was moving at full speed.
The reason why he decided to leave in the next two days was that the prince took into consideration Fang Qingge's feelings of missing the children. There were also those dirty things in the capital waiting for him to clean up.
So without waiting for the arrival of counselors Qin Huai and Zhou Yuanpan, after two busy days, the prince arranged for eunuch Fu to be ready.
This time, the prince and Fang Qingge took a carriage back to Beijing.
Eunuch Fu sat in the carriage at the back.
There were also carriages for the imperial doctors and several officials, plus guards.
A huge group of people.
Before daybreak, the prince wanted to leave quietly, but he did not expect that the people in the city would come out to see him off for ten miles.
Seeing the couples kneeling with tears in their eyes and unable to get up made the prince tearful. He could only raise his arms high and wave goodbye.
It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. He felt that all his hard work was worth it to be able to win the support and love of the people.
*
In the carriage,
Because he got up too early, the warm temperature made Fang Qingge feel a little drowsy on the couch.
The prince gently picked her up and looked at her sleeping face.
Half an hour later, the prince saw Fang Qingge's eyelashes moving slightly as if she had woken up.
He whispered in Qingge's ear,
"Get up and drink some water. I've been so busy these past two days that I haven't had time to sit down and listen to you talk."
"say what?"
Fang Qingge took the teacup handed to her by the prince and drank it, smiling secretly.
The smile in the prince's eyes became even more intense, twinkling with dazzling light.
"Of course we are talking about business. Who on earth is my Qingge?"
Fang Qingge leaned on him, turned his head again and again, and suddenly said,
"Oh, you're too thin now. My head hurts. Bring me a pillow."
The prince flicked her forehead gently, smiled, and put a pillow under her head.
"Are you satisfied?"
"My mouth hurts and I can't speak." Fang Qingge hadn't finished her words when a deep kiss made her completely speechless.
The long kiss gave both of them the illusion of being reborn.
"Qingge, God has been kind to me, Liang He'an, and I can hold you in my arms again."
The tight hug made Fang Qingge a little breathless, but she knew that the prince was in a restless mood.
*
Fang Qingge turned around and hugged him back, patting him gently on the back.
"Brother An, I want to say thank you too! You didn't abandon me and my babies."
"I am very lucky."
As soon as the sentimental words came out, Fang Qingge's nose was sore. Thinking of the thrilling adventures in the past few days, tears rolled down her cheeks.
