The second chapter is a change of heaven and earth
Outside the window, the rain was sparsely falling. It's the most ordinary rain scene, nothing special. However, Ye Daiwan just can't enjoy it. It was the first time it rained in three months. It's better to come late than not at all.
To the people, the rain was much better than that of her, the empress.
The rain fell on the eaves, on the bamboo leaves, on the stone lamps in front of the window, like striking an unknown musical instrument, sometimes low, sometimes high, and finally melodious from beginning to end.
Ye Daiwan likes to rain. On rainy nights, she slept very well, as if a pair of gentle hands were touching and soothing her soul in the place of those who had died.
"It's great, after this rain, there are a lot of things to eat in the mountains. Qingyun was so excited that she even jumped when she walked.
Lu Shushen glared at her several times, but she didn't see her change. is obviously angry, but the smile on the corner of his mouth has never broken. The rain was so good that even if something big happened, it would have to stop now.
"What can grow in one night?" Qingzhan said angrily. She doesn't like rainy days. It's wet, and her clothes are easy to get wet, and after drying for a while, there will be a little moisture again, so that she is too busy to touch the ground. Even if it's timely rain, she doesn't like it.
"There are a lot of mushrooms, fungus, wild vegetables, there will be a lot of small fish, aquatic plants, small shrimp in the river, and even ...... will grow on the barren rocks," Qingyun counted with his fingers.
Ye Daiwan interjected. "Moss. Even moss growing on broken bricks is edible, and it smells salty. ”
I don't know what touch point this popular science triggered the girls, these maids were still chatting happily, but they were completely silent after Ye Daiwan interjected. Even Qingyun, who had never thought that there was anything wrong with this kind of common sense, understood what it meant.
"Your Majesty......" Lu Shushen was very distressed.
"What's this? Many of you understand. Ye Daiwan didn't understand what they were excited about, and said a little funny. "Does someone stipulate that the emperor must have grown up in brocade clothes and jade food? My founding ancestor of the Great Wei Dynasty was still a criminal of the previous dynasty, and he had eaten bran and swallowed vegetables. What's so strange. ”
Even so, everyone thinks that once the word emperor is draped on someone's body, the person is no longer human, like a god who exudes golden light. Ye Daiwan is from the modern era, which is an era when there has been no imperial power for a long time, and even the emperors of all dynasties can be stripped of their clothes and carefully studied.
What an emperor is, it's just a textbook with names lined up, and occasionally one or two small portraits that I don't know where to distort them. How can a person who grew up in such an environment have any reverence for imperial power?
But Lu Shushen is different. Even if they looked down on her destitude and ignorance when they took over Ye Daidui, but when she ascended the throne as the emperor and became an emperor, they put on a golden coat for this good-for-nothing little girl in their hearts.
She is different, she is the emperor.
But what's the difference? She didn't have to struggle desperately in a stupid and cruel fate to get out of the way she has now.
"Your Majesty, that's right. But I still feel distressed. Because it doesn't matter who you are, it's just because ......" Lu Shushen's words were not finished, and was interrupted by Ye Daidu, who rushed over.
Ye Daiwan hugged her tightly and said coquettishly. "I know. ”
The two hugged each other for a while, but it was Ye Daiwan who broke the atmosphere. "Shushen, have you noticed that when you talk to me, you don't call yourself a 'concubine'. ”
The word concubine sounds gentle and amiable, like a stream in a mountain stream, facing the mountains and the sea, looking pitiful. But this word is never used to describe an independent and complete woman, it is a word for vassalage, a title that is eternally inferior.
At first, Ye Daiwan thought that this was a woman's self-title, and she didn't care very much. But after she heard what Xu Suying said, she still felt a little bit, the little girl who was suppressed by her sister and cowered never used the self-title of "concubine" from beginning to end.
In other words, this is not the gentleness and virtuousness of women in this era, but the division of classes.
Whether it is now or will come from the era of civilization, the strong always gain a sense of superiority by oppressing the weak. The principles of the world that have never changed.
"Concubine ......" As soon as Lu Shushen opened her mouth, Ye Daiwan put her finger against her lips, stopping her from speaking.
"Don't say it, don't apologize, don't tell me it's the rule. I don't believe it. When Emperor Wuhuan died, Emperor Mourning Chun, Emperor Mourning Duan, and Emperor Youling couldn't contain this Great Wei, and only Emperor Wujing fought bloodily. At that time, there had never been a queen in the world. She made the first one. ”
Ye Daiwan stared at Lu Shushen's eyes tightly, not allowing her to escape.
"At that time, everyone said that Da Wei was dead, and he actually let a female stream put on a dragon robe. But what? It's just the empress they look down on, who has guarded the world of our Great Wei, and has made the surrounding six countries dare not set foot in our Great Wei for a hundred years. Do you think she's worthy of being the emperor?"
"Emperor Wu Jing is a heroine among women and a hero in the world. She is so brave that she deserves this throne. Lu Shushen replied firmly. But she didn't understand what Ye Daiwan meant.
"When Emperor Wen Hui succeeded to the throne, he was talented and unparalleled in the world. The Great Wei of Bao Ding Nian was not the most powerful, nor was it the most armed, but it didn't go out of a war, and the six countries came to the court, never dared to make a mistake, and respected Wei. Isn't she worthy to be this emperor?"
"Nature is a match. Lu Shushen couldn't understand why Ye Daiwan revisited the story of these empresses. Since she served His Majesty, she was familiar with these few pieces of history, and she thought that her Majesty would never lose to these three empresses.
"No, you don't understand what I'm talking about. At the time of Emperor Wujing, everyone was ashamed of the empress, and when Emperor Wenhui was emperor, everyone regretted that she was not a man. But when it comes to Emperor Chengmin, do you remember how she was written in the history books?"
Ye Daiwan wanted her to know not only the origin of the inheritance rights of the women on the throne, but the whereabouts of the rights of women in the world.
"Great Wei is fortunate to have the third empress. Lu Shushen's eyes slowly lit up, shining brighter than the brightest stars in the sky. "Everyone is proud of the Empress of Great Wei. ”
"This is the woman of Dawei, the world laughs at me and pities me, but they don't hear it. The Dawei woman's sky is earned by herself. We prove to the world that women can live without being dependent on anyone, and women can live the way they want. Whether it's war, literature, or this supreme throne, men have half of things, and women can also have the other half. ”
Lu Shushen looked at her quietly, looking up at the monarch she had chosen, kneeling in front of her knees, waiting for her orders. Lu Shushen knew that what she was waiting for was the fate she had been confused, uneasy, and unexpected.
"I want you to be my lady. Prove to the world, I'm right. ”
"Obey the king's orders. ”
