Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

Chapter 238 Worth it
The next day, Jing Chun got up very early, got down from the bed quietly, got dressed and packed his luggage.

Last night, Jiang and Jin slept on the bed, Jing Chun slept on the couch, and nothing happened.

Jing Chun didn't know why he had to be so cautious as a thief, but if Jiang and Jin were really awakened, Jing Chun didn't know what to say to ease the slightly embarrassing atmosphere.

Out of courtesy, Jing Chun left a note.

"I am in Jingzhao Mansion now, don't think about it. - Jing Chun."

After thinking for a long time, Jing Chun crossed out the word "Don't think about it" again.

So, what remains is "Today in Jingzhao Mansion. - Jing Chun".

As soon as Jing Chun opened the door, Qiao Ying bowed to Jing Chun respectfully.

"Happy, Princess."

Jing Chun stretched, feeling as if things had returned to their original order...

"You must have been waiting for a long time," Jing Chun smiled and skillfully put on his small bag containing the painting tools, "I'm tired."

"The princess's words are serious, and Qiao Ying doesn't dare to take them seriously."

"I told the truth."

Jing Chun knew that Qiao Ying was used to taking orders, and even if she was entangled in her heart, she didn't dare to speak out openly.

After leaving Prince Li's Mansion, Jing Chun's dull mood was instantly relieved. She looked into the distance, trying to open herself up to a broader world.

"Actually, I have always wanted to thank you," Jing Chun looked at Qiao Ying, "If I were peacefully in the palace, you wouldn't have to follow me around. With your ability, maybe you can be like Lu Chi ”

"My lady..."

"Now that you're outside, you don't need to call me that," Jing Chun smiled lightly, "I like my name better than that of Princess Li."

Jing Chun was walking on the road, looking at the people who were already busy in the morning, and felt particularly relaxed.

Qiao Ying was hesitant and didn't know how to speak, so she said abruptly: "My subordinate... likes you very much."

Eh?
Jing Chun froze on the spot, his smile suddenly frozen. Could it be that he was hallucinating?
Jing Chun had never encountered such a confession before, and wondered if what he had just said might have misunderstood Qiao Ying.

"The empress's character is thousands of times better than that of her subordinates."

It turns out to be character!

Jing Chun breathed a sigh of relief, and almost couldn't do it himself!

"My Majesty is neither humble nor arrogant. She always finds ways to solve problems. No matter how big the problem is, she can easily solve it. The only thing my subordinates can do for my Majesty is to use their fists and kicks to protect her."

Jing Chun didn't expect that the usually dull Qiao Ying would say such nice things, and a smile appeared on her lips, but she didn't agree with Qiao Ying's point of view. She was not as shining as Qiao Ying said.

But Qiao Ying looked like she couldn't lie, she was so dull, and even her expression was extremely serious and sincere, Jing Chun couldn't help but be amused.

Qiao Ying was puzzled, "Did my subordinate say anything funny?"

Jing Chun shook his head, "No, no, I just remembered someone saying something like this, saying that the world is a strange circle. Now it seems that is indeed the case."

"What's the strange circle?" "You're just walking from a starting point. Unexpectedly, the end point is the starting point again. It's like you have superb skills, great fighting posture, and never fall behind when fighting with others. You said you like it. I don’t know how much I envy your ability.”

"Your Majesty, are you saying you envy me?"

"Yes," Jing Chun did not hide his praise at all, "Such a handsome swordsmanship, and I am definitely not the only one who is envious of it."

Qiao Ying couldn't understand the meaning of Jing Chun's words, "My subordinate's abilities are not unique. If I envy my subordinate's ability, there are not many people in the world who are better in martial arts than my subordinates. What are you envying me for?"

Although Qiao Ying's actual age is a year or two older than Jing Chun, her experience and emotions are not as rich as Jing Chun's.

That's right, after all, Jing Chun has been impacted by many ideas in modern society.

Jing Chun was very patient and responded unhurriedly, "But in my eyes, Qiao Ying, you are unique. Your ability can protect yourself and others. How many people want to do this but can't?" It’s something that can’t be done, and that alone is very valuable.”

There was a slight hesitation in Qiao Ying's eyes. She was thinking whether she was as good as Jing Chun said.

"My subordinates are stupid, and they are not as smart as my Majesty. My Majesty's compliments are only a rare thing among my subordinates..."

"You don't need to envy others, let alone belittle yourself. People, you don't need to be trapped in the shadow of others and unable to live your own wonderful life. When you make mistakes, correct them and then encourage them. Only with such a character can you There is never any right or wrong.”

Qiao Ying looked at Jing Chun in front of her, and she seemed to be longing for something in her heart, "My Majesty can always speak such clear truths like Your Highness."

"Really?" Jing Chun didn't care about the principles she and Jiang Hejin had said or the aspirations they had set.

However, Jing Chun still felt a little bit emotional in his heart, as if there was something invisible pushing him to Jiang Hejin.

Jing Chun looked at Qiao Ying carefully again, feeling emotional for a moment, "When they said you had a high fever, I always felt that I owed you a lot. Fortunately, you are fine..."

"My subordinate did not intend to deceive the empress..."

"I didn't mean to blame you," Jing Chun smiled, "but there was indeed a moment when I felt angry. Now that we see you again, I'm just glad that you're fine and still standing in front of me."

The breeze was gentle. Jing Chun opened his palms to feel the relaxation and relief brought by the breeze, and said calmly: "You only need to know that the entanglement between me and Jiang Hejin has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to feel guilty. You are the one who was involved. people."

Qiao Ying's eyes were slightly moved, and she held the long sword in her hand blankly. All she had learned was to obey orders.

Orders are emotionless things and are inherently majestic and cannot be resisted.

Now you tell Qiao Ying that everything she has given has been emotionally rewarded, and even your behavior has been cared about.

This undoubtedly shook Qiao Ying's long-held ideology.

"Subordinate...why did you make your Majesty say this?"

Jing Chun's eyes were full of sincerity, "Of course you are worth it."

worth?

No one has ever said such things to Qiao Ying. All along, Qiao Ying has always regarded herself very low. She upholds her mission and responsibility, and Qiao Ying, who is so low in the dust, has forgotten to expect extravagant exchanges.

However, when someone looks at your efforts and even repays you with some very small words, your heart will definitely stir up thousands of waves.

Just these two simple words made Qiao Ying unable to calm down for a long time...

"Also, Qiao Ying," Jing Chun smiled, "your name is really nice."
