Chapter 381 It is your honor to die for the princess
"It turns out that the second daughter of the county magistrate is the current Ninth Princess. No wonder she seems a bit difficult to deal with."

"Hush, keep your voice down. She is now a princess and is not to be trifled with. If someone hears you, do you want to keep your head?"

"This place is remote. Is there anyone around? It's okay. The county magistrate's daughter is gentle and polite. How nice it would be if she was a princess?"

"You really are not afraid of death, but the county magistrate's daughter is indeed beautiful, generous and kind-hearted. She even arranges for people to send food to beggars when she sees them. In fact, it is normal. The princess is staying at home, and the county magistrate dare not discipline her. He can only go along with her. Isn't this how she develops her spoiled character?"

"That's right. Not to mention that the county magistrate doesn't dare to intervene, even the officials in the capital don't dare to discipline him."

In Qingfeng County, people from all over the country were discussing this matter in private.

Twelve years ago, Cui Yu came to Qingfeng County to serve as the county magistrate.

The situation in the world is complicated, and it is normal for officials in some small places not to be promoted for many years. The original Great Qi was divided into two many years ago, and only then did we have the current Northern Qi and Southern Qi. The country they are in is Southern Qi. In addition to other small countries around, there are many rebel forces in the east of the Central Plains. If Northern Qi and Southern Qi have some problems again, the world is afraid that it will be completely chaotic.

At that time, Magistrate Cui and his entire family moved here, including his wife, two sons, and a pair of infant twin daughters.

The older twin daughters are named Cui Jing and the younger one is named Cui Qi.

Cui Jing has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, but Cui Qi is a little noisy and has a very strange temper. She is obviously the daughter of the county magistrate, so how can she be short of food and clothing? She always likes to quibble over trivial matters, even regardless of the occasion, which gives the county magistrate and his wife a headache.

Not only do they have different personalities, they also look different.

But it is not surprising that there are many twins who look different in this world. But every time the twin daughters of the county magistrate are mentioned, everyone can't help but shake their heads. They are really different in every way. The county magistrate is a rare good official. His family is harmonious and well-educated, except for this second daughter.

Someone came from the capital a few days ago, and soon the news came out that the second daughter of the county magistrate's family was the current Ninth Princess who was snatched away at birth. I won't go into the various twists and turns, but in short, the Ninth Princess was able to survive thanks to the county magistrate.

They thought that the eldest daughter was more suitable to be a princess, which was a pity. But they thought that the people of the royal family were different from ordinary people like them, and must be more noble and proud.

Inside the county magistrate's mansion, the county magistrate's wife, Mrs. Ning, was wiping away tears: "It's not that we don't treat you well because of everything. We are just afraid that we will be too good to you all these years. If the villain notices something wrong, how can we protect you?"

"Let's hold Jing'er in high esteem. If the treacherous people notice something is wrong, they will definitely think that Jing'er is the princess. Then you can live in peace."

"Now that the princess has landed in our home, we must do everything we can to protect her. We dare not be careless."

"Now that you are going back, you can finally go back to where you came from, and our family can rest assured. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that you will be safe and sound throughout your life."

Ning was truly sad, and the sadness on her face was not fake at all.

Because the little girl in front of her is her biological daughter, Jing'er is the real princess. This time, His Majesty arranged for someone to take the princess back, but it was not a good thing. It was Northern Qi who came to ask for her. No princess sent to Northern Qi came back alive.

Jing'er was born to His Majesty and his favorite concubine, Concubine Li. How could he bear to let his most beloved daughter die? Otherwise, the real princess would not have been kidnapped. However, somehow, the truth of the kidnapping was known to the Emperor of Northern Qi, who sent a letter asking for the princess. The two children grew up together and were the same age, so they had no choice but to let their own daughter die in place of the princess.

The princess is the most beloved daughter of His Majesty. As a minister, I naturally have to share His Majesty's worries. Although it is hard for Jue'er, Jue'er is my daughter, and it is her duty to protect the princess. Jue'er has always been stubborn, so I naturally dare not tell her the truth in case she messes up things.

Let her think that she is the Ninth Princess.

Didn't she love gold, silver, jade, and fine clothes? Now her wish had come true. She went to Northern Qi on behalf of the Ninth Princess, so His Majesty would not treat her badly, and would certainly treat her well before that.

Ever since the visitor from the capital came, she had seen the joy on Qi'er's face, as well as her disdain and arrogance towards their family, which made her feel quite proud.

None of their family members are like this. I don't know how Jing'er was brought up like this, but she always likes to be calculative and wants to compete with Jing'er for things. She is very competitive. Obviously, she is well fed and clothed in this family and has everything she deserves, but she has to compare herself with Jing'er in everything.

Jing'er is the daughter of the emperor, how can she compare to him? This temper, she shook her head gently, forget it, it's useless to worry about these things, in two days Jing'er will go back with the people in the capital. From now on, there may be no chance to see each other again.

After all, this is her daughter. Ning is still sad, but she doesn't dare to reveal too many flaws.

Suddenly, she came back to her senses. When she came to talk to her yesterday, Juer was very impatient and even ridiculed her. Why didn't she say a word today?

She looked up and found that Qi'er was distracted.

"If you have nothing to do, please leave and leave me alone." Asui suddenly said, raising his eyes to glance at Ning, his expression a little more arrogant than before.

Quite interesting. This family is really interesting.

The client of the criticism has a bad character, is willful and capricious, and has a strong desire to win. As long as they treat everyone equally, even if they don't treat them equally, as long as she doesn't see it, she won't argue. Who can stand being criticized for having a bad character when others have it but they don't?

She had enough food and clothing, but the quality of the things people in these houses had was very important. If she only cared about Cui Jing, she would be about the same as her two brothers, and that would be fine. But her two brothers were treated no worse than Cui Jing, and she was the worst off. How could she feel comfortable?
Even if they found many excuses to reward her, as if what they got was what they deserved, she couldn't stand it.

A seventh-rank official is not a very high position, but there are four children in the family, two of whom are boys who need to go to school, so the expenses are naturally higher.

Besides, Cui Yu was not a corrupt official. He was honest and had a good reputation. Of course, he loved money, everyone loved money, but he could not take ill-gotten gains, and he was aloof in his bones.

The princess cannot afford to be wronged. She has two sons to raise, so naturally she can only let the client down a little.

The vicious cycle makes her less and less likable. If she fights, she can still survive. If she doesn't fight at all, it will only be worse.

Now Northern Qi was causing trouble and demanded Southern Qi to hand over the emperor's favorite daughter as a hostage. The emperor was reluctant to do so, but Cui Yu was a minister who was very willing to share the king's worries, and he took the initiative to offer his daughter to go.
