Chapter 1528: Will the Princess Still Love Me When She Comes Back?
Shi Li can cry, but she will never cry in front of strangers.
No matter how nice his voice is, it’s not allowed!
Princess Yu Chao, the eldest daughter of the Crown Prince, was so proud that she immediately held back her tears and turned to look behind her.
"I'm digging..."
The words got stuck in his throat again.
The boy in front of her, who was a head taller than her, was someone she had never imagined existed.
How to describe it?
He was clearly a young man, but his eyes were so clear, yet so compassionate, gentle, and detached, as if he was hidden in a halo, making it difficult to see clearly, yet clear enough to see.
Without anyone telling her, Shi Li knew his identity almost instantly.
It turns out that the old woman was not exaggerating nor wearing a filter. The Son of God of Xifan really was such an extraordinary person.
Thinking that he had charcoal to keep warm, and that the old woman's kindness was all due to the person in front of him, Shi Li's guard dissipated a little, and he even lowered his head in embarrassment.
He reorganized his words and tone, revealing his gentle side, "I'm digging ground beans."
She thought that someone as noble as the Son of God would not know what earth beans were, and was wondering how to explain it. But who knew that the Son of God frowned and looked at the pitifully small earth beans in her hand.
"The soil here is not good, and the beans can't grow big." Not only did he know this, but he also knew more than Shi Li.
Shi Li looked up at him in surprise, and the black marks on his face caused by the charcoal were clearly seen by the Son of God.
He also guessed Shi Li's identity, and the pity in his eyes became even stronger. He took out a white handkerchief and handed it to Shi Li.
"Wipe your face and stop digging. You will have enough food in the future." He had not expected that the people of Xifan would treat a little girl so harshly.
This couldn't be a better ending. Given a choice, Shi Li was unwilling to work hard digging ground beans, which were difficult to dig and not tasty.
but……
She hesitated for a moment, and finally hardened her heart and looked at the Son of God intently.
"Then can you come and see me when you have time? Or...can I come and see you occasionally?"
In this distant and unfamiliar Western Region, she really needed a shelter.
She was sent to Xifan as a tool for pleading, and she had to suffer so that His Majesty Changning would dispel his doubts about the prince and the favorite concubine in the palace would be happy and let the East Palace go temporarily.
But...she also wants to live.
Looking at the bright and handsome Son of God, Shi Li felt a little ashamed. She had no choice but to temporarily take advantage of the young man's compassion to buy herself a way out.
There was no wind, the sun was shining brightly, and the ends of my hair were trembling slightly.
The Son of God looked back at her, nodded almost without hesitation, and pointed to the temple where he lived in the distance.
"I live there. You can come see me anytime you want." He knew what the little girl was thinking, but he was willing to do his best to help her.
It is really hard for a little girl of that age to leave her hometown and come to this far away place.
Shi Li's heart finally settled down. He took a step back and kneeled down solemnly to salute the Son of God.
"Thank you."
She was grateful to him from the bottom of her heart for giving her shelter.
In this foreign country, I finally feel a little warmth.
What happened when the two met during the day was heard by Xifan Fuzheng later in the day without missing a word.
Fu Zheng is a middle-aged man in his forties. He was educated by the previous generation of the Son of God and became Fu Zheng, who is the most important person in Xifan.
After the death of the previous generation of the Son of God, Fu Zheng, who held great power, worked hard to find the reincarnation of the Son of God, just like his predecessors, and later found Ming Shi.
But once people have power, they will change. When Ming Shi was confirmed to be the reincarnation of the Son of God, Fu Zheng was unwilling to return the power. He selfishly wanted to continue to hold power alone and treat the young Son of God as a puppet.
