The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 434 Love creates hatred
It’s New Year’s Eve in the fifth year of Yuanding.

Heavy rain fell. It is rare for such heavy rain to fall in winter. The Weishui Bian Bridge outside Chang'an was washed away by the flood.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Princess Pingyang and Jiang Chong went on a trip. Wei Qing was going out to buy new year goods with his hands behind his back. When he saw Princess Pingyang and Jiang Chong, Wei Qing was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Chong naturally knew about him, and Wei Ning was disgusted with him. He had previously claimed credit for others, and was exposed by Wei Ning and demoted to raise horses. However, he later met Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promoted him to serve as an envoy to the Western Regions.

Looking at Jiang Chong's resume, it is easy to find that this person is extremely ambitious.

Now that Princess Pingyang and Jiang Chong are mixed together, Wei Qing feels that Princess Pingyang will be implicated by Jiang Chong sooner or later.

He thought for a moment and greeted Princess Pingyang with a fist in his hand.

"I have met Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

Princess Pingyang stared at Wei Qing with complicated eyes. Although he was over fifty years old, Princess Pingyang still favored Wei Qing.

She had no chance before, because Wei Qing valued love and righteousness, and his wife was not dead, so he would never marry anyone else.

But later Wei Qing's wife died, and Princess Pingyang repeatedly showed her kindness to Wei Qing, but Wei Qing declined them all.

In sadness, he found Jiang Chong as his face.

Seeing Wei Qing again this time, Princess Pingyang felt a mixture of love and hate in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said, "Is something wrong?"

Wei Qing thought for a while and seemed to have something to say. Princess Pingyang naturally knew what Wei Qing was going to do. He said to Jiang Chong: "You go first."

Jiang Chong said: "Princess, why do you need to talk to him more?"

Princess Pingyang glared at Jiang Chong fiercely: "I tell you to get out!"

Jiang Chong was stunned for a moment, not daring to say anything, and left with a stern look on his face.

Only then did he realize that Princess Pingyang had always treated him as a dog!
Jiang Chong's body trembled slightly.

Princess Pingyang looked deeply at Wei Qing and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Wei Qing asked: "Who is he?"

Princess Pingyang said: "I have a dog, it is my plaything."

Wei Qing sighed and said, "Why did the princess fall to this level?"

It would have been better not to say this. After saying this, Princess Pingyang suddenly felt aggrieved and angry, and said angrily: "Isn't this forced by General Qiwei?"

"I have shown my kindness to you many times, and you know what I am thinking."

"When you were still a slave in my house, I favored you very much. You knew my feelings, but there was a huge gap in our identities at that time, so I didn't want to harm you."

"Then I was forced to get married, and you gradually grew into the great Sima General of the Han Dynasty!"

"Have you ever missed me?"

Wei Qing was silent. Didn't he have feelings for Princess Pingyang during those green years?

Yes, love can't be achieved, just as Princess Pingyang said, the two of them were too important to be together at first, so Wei Qing hid all his teenage emotions in his heart.

Later, Princess Pingyang married a man, the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, and Wei Qing was still a lowly slave.

If Wei Zifu hadn't married into the palace, Wei Qing would not have been able to change his destiny.

By the time he became the general, Princess Pingyang was already married. Wei Qing controlled his emotions and got married soon after.

He and his wife have a deep love for each other, but they always miss Princess Pingyang in their hearts.

However, Wei Qing restrained his emotions, and no one knew the subtle feelings buried deep in Wei Qing's heart.

Wei Qing let out a long sigh, looked deeply at Princess Pingyang, and said, "How could I not know?"

"You were young and of low status at that time, how could you dare to expect the affection of a princess?"

"Later I became a general but you were already a wife. How dare Wei do such an animal thing?"

"Now that my wife has just died, how do you want me to marry you?" Princess Pingyang was stunned, looking at Wei Qing blankly, tears slowly flowing down.

He always thought that Wei Qing disliked him, otherwise why would he never mention marrying him?

But now, after hearing Wei Qing's words, she realized that Wei Qing was not like this.

But she... has already gained a reputation. How can she have the dignity to marry Wei Qing again?
Princess Pingyang cried: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Wei Qing said: "I planned to wait for three years... maybe we are destined to be together!"

"What I want to say to the princess is——"

"Don't have too much contact with this person. This person is not simple. The prince has a grudge against him. This person will do whatever it takes to get the upper hand. He may not harm the princess in the future."

Wei Qing nodded, and after saying these words, he clasped his fists and saluted, and then left with his hands behind his back.

Looking at Wei Qing's leaving figure, Princess Pingyang looked dazed and murmured: "Zhong Qing..."

Wrong, totally wrong.

Princess Pingyang's face was full of annoyance, and the tears in her eyes became even more intense.

Not long after, Jiang Chong came over again and said to Princess Pingyang: "Princess..."

Princess Pingyang looked at Jiang Chong with disgust. Just as Wei Qing said, this man is flattering and will do whatever it takes to gain power. It was through flattery that he won Princess Pingyang's favor.

At that time, Princess Pingyang was rejected by Wei Qing. I wonder if it was out of revenge against Wei Qing that she accepted Jiang Chong.

The more she looked at Jiang Chong at this time, the more she felt disgusted and said angrily: "Get out!"

"You are not allowed to enter my princess's house in the future!"

Jiang Chong said hurriedly: "Princess, why have I offended you?"

"Princess, if you don't do something right, I will correct it."

Princess Pingyang said angrily: "Get out of here! Get away as far as you want! You are just a dog!"

After saying that, Princess Pingyang left with her slaves without even looking at Jiang Chong.

Jiang Chong's face twitched and he stared coldly at Princess Pingyang's leaving back.

Bitch, do you think I can't take revenge on you because you are a princess?
You really treat me like a dog, and I treat you like a plaything, but you pretend to be aloof to me.

Because of Wei Qing?

If you, Wei Qing, were still Great Sima General, I might have been afraid of you. But now that you are not idle at home, do you really think I am afraid of you?
Don't think that with the support of Queen Wei and Prince Wei, you, Wei Qing, can be so arrogant!
Jiang Chong left viciously, already thinking of a way to retaliate against Wei Qing!
……

Today, New Year's Eve, Weining got up early and cleaned his room himself.

Qin Ziyu was also helping Wei Ning, and they occasionally did the work of servants.

"Your Highness."

An eunuch from the Eastern Palace came over, found Weining, and said, "Lu Chongguo, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, wants to see you."

Weining nodded and said, "Let him come in."

During the New Year period, Weiyang Palace generally does not allow officials to enter unless there are important matters.

Generally, they can come to Weining to handle unimportant matters themselves. This is the order given by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Lu Chongguo clasped his fists and saluted Weining, and said: "Your Highness, the Bian Bridge outside the south city of Chang'an was washed away by the flood, and the people in the city were rescued. The people in the city cannot leave the city, and the bridge needs to be repaired quickly."

Wei Ning said: "I will grant you the money. You go to Sang Hongyang and ask him to give you the money. First, build the Bian Bridge to make it easier for the people to come in and out."

"Here."
