Chapter I

Next Chapter

Shen Ruyu is seventeen this year.

The daughter of the Luohe Shen family, from a noble background, is young and precocious, with long skin like white jade, looking forward to affection, and overflowing with talent, I don't know how many noble men of the family admire her.

But she is seventeen years old this year, not to mention her husband, she doesn't even have a waiter.

Who made this Miss Shen really make men unable to move their hearts - among these normal men, including the king on the dragon chair.

As early as when the male emperor was still the prince, as the favorite child of the first emperor and the queen, he was known for being arrogant and domineering, and those who acted smoothly prospered and those who rebelled died.

This year's twenty-five-year-old male emperor Li Cao released his words as early as when he ascended the throne, and it was inevitable for this noble woman in Kyoto, in order to prevent his promising eldest daughter from being welcomed into the harem by the male emperor, Shen Ruyu's mother, Shen Nanfeng, the head of the Shen family, and the male emperor have been carrying Shen Ruyu since he was fifteen years old, and he has been carrying it until now seventeen.

He couldn't marry her, and she couldn't marry anyone else.

Every time Shen Nanfeng thought of this bad thing, he was very worried.

On the one hand, I feel sad, and on the other hand, I feel proud.

It's really my Shen Nanfeng's daughter, that's how she hangs!

But the matter of entering the palace is ...... Don't even think about it!!

In fact, Shen Ruyu was not so resistant.

She's a time-traveler.

For her, it is a normal thing for a man to be an emperor, but in this world of women, Li Cao's existence is just like Wu Zetian in the world where she once existed, no matter how high the achievements seem to be to future generations, it was absolutely intolerable to the world at that time.

And he wanted to welcome her into the palace, probably like Wu Zetian wanted to accept the children of the family at that time as the head of the face, right?

Similar to the identity of "the empress's male favorite" in the previous life, even if it is not placed on the eldest daughter of a big family like Luohe Shen, it is a great humiliation for any woman.

In this world, there are only emperors and queens, as well as the titles of male concubines, just like there were only emperors and queens in that world, as well as the titles of female concubines, where women enter the palace, just like men in that world enter the palace, it is impossible to crown a man as Zhaoyi, concubine, right? So he can only be a male pet, with a face, a bad name, a bad word, and not even a name, even if he is really talented, he can only be pointed at the backbone and despised by people who climb a woman's bed.

In the same way, this world is the same, not to mention, she is from such a good background.

No wonder her mother reacted so violently.

But such a world that is almost completely opposite to the place where she lived before, even if Shen Ruyu has lived here for seventeen years, she still feels very inconsistent, this disobedience makes her rarely go out, and the spirit of the otaku before crossing over is more and more carried forward.

And since the few friends who got along with each other, one by one, either fifteen or sixteen got married, or ran around the world without a figure, she felt more and more incompatible with this world.

Not long ago, she accidentally revealed to her mother that she wanted to become a Taoist priest, and her mother was so frightened that she quickly dragged her best friend over.

Of course, Shen Nanfeng is proud that his daughter has the spirit of independence in the world, not like ordinary people, but as long as it has a little meaning, it is okay, she really sees through the red dust, where is she crying!

"I think I was jealous of you back then." Cui's daughter-in-law, Cui Wenjun, was invited, but she finally dragged Shen Ruyu out of the study, and Shen Ruyu had to come out with paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and spread it in the pavilion in the back garden, doing some kind of "sketching".

Cui Wenjun sat opposite Shen Ruyu, picked up the teacup and took a sip, she has no interest in painting and playing the piano since she was a child, and she felt uncomfortable as soon as she picked up the pen, so everyone in the imperial capital said that Shen Ruyu's calligraphy and painting were unique, but she was not even interested in glancing at them.

She is more interested in her people than her paintings.

Cui Wenjun is also a traverser.

But unlike Shen Ruyu, who came from another completely opposite world, a thousand years after she came from the world of female honor, she had read the historical records of this time in modern times.

Shen Ruyu recorded in the history books, her life is a gorgeous tragedy.

Shen Ruyu was born illustriously, and she was almost destined to be prosperous and wealthy in the future, but in addition to her noble family background, she herself is also very talented, known as "a must in calligraphy and painting", and is proficient in musical instruments and poetry.

Cui Wenjun recalled the books he read when he was in school, how did the books describe Shen Ruyu?

——Noble temperament, indifferent to fame and fortune, talented.

Before Cui Wenjun crossed over, she read countless novels, as long as Shen Ruyu appeared, then she would always be the most popular heroine or supporting actress.

Such a woman who is almost like a fairy descending to earth, the beginning of her tragedy is-

The male emperor is pleased.

It is said that at the beginning, the Shen family was unwilling to resist the imperial power, and soon after entering the palace, such a fairy-like figure died of depression.

Originally, this experience was enough for her to be remembered by people thousands of years later, but there always seems to be such a person in this world, even if he dies, he has to confuse the whole mind of others-

Shen Ruyu is not only a talented woman after a thousand years, the spokesperson of Yashi, she is also famous for her homosexuality.

The deeds of her and her best friend Cui Wenjun are recorded in the wild history.

- They have a leg.

Cui Wenjun's name is also famous in history - known as a talent, but his behavior is uninhibited, he ignores etiquette, and has the name of "Crazy Queen".

It is said that after Shen Ruyu was robbed by the male emperor, she was always depressed, and the male emperor brought her best friend who grew up together into the palace, wanting to make her happy, but the result was ......

Anyway, in later generations, the idiom of Yuwen Zhijiao refers to homosexuality.

But before Cui Wenjun crossed over, although she had read many novels in which various people traveled to Shen Ruyu or Cui Wenjun to experience this love, she didn't expect that one day, she would actually wear it.

…… And he was really dressed as Cui Wenjun.

She swears to God that despite the prevalence of lily culture in later generations, she is really a straight daughter!!

Even if Shen Ruyu is very outstanding, she has no interest in women!

Cui Wenjun looked at the woman opposite, who was said to have a leg with him in history and was still a friend, and once again silently strengthened his belief in his heart that he had been wavering for seventeen years.

Because after she came from time to time and met Shen Ruyu, she found that the descriptions in the books she had read were not enough for one-twelfth of her own elegance.

Shen Ruyu is very special.

In fact, in terms of facial features alone, there are many more delicate and beautiful than her, but she has an ignorant and innocent demeanor, innocent and ignorant of the world, like a child who does not understand the world, but also has a kind of tolerance for some shocking things, as a matter of course, her eyes are more agile and bright than everyone Cui Wenjun has seen, but she often reveals a kind of indifference and coldness when she is unconscious.

Her eyes have always been a little blurry when she looks at people, which is also one of the unique charms of those little gentlemen who are blushing and heartbeat, and they can't give up.

Cui Wenjun once asked her what was going on with the way she looked at people, and Shen Ruyu looked at her in surprise at that time, as if she didn't realize that there was such a thing at all.

Also, her eyes and her smile are the same.

She looked at the emperor and the eunuchs beside the emperor with the same eyes, and she smiled the same at the emperor and the eunuchs beside the emperor.

What's worse is that she never realized this herself.

That's the cutest.

If it weren't for the huge difference between her behavior and modern people, she would really think that Shen Ruyu would have traveled through the same time as her.

Cui Wenjun thought Shen Ruyu was really interesting.

No wonder in history, Cui Wenjun fell in love with Shen Ruyu in the end.

…… But she definitely won't! She treats her like her best friend! The best!

Cui Wenjun was immersed in his love for a moment before continuing, "When I was a child, my master always used you as an example, saying that you look at how others are like jade, how good they are, how good they are, how well they can memorize books, how well they compose poems, how well they write their homework, how good their temperament is, gentle and elegant, and their manners, I really hate you to death." ”

Shen Ruyu raised her eyes helplessly and glanced at her.

The children of the same family, Shen, Cui, Lu, and Wang have always been in the same circle, Shen Ruyu was in her twenties in her previous life, and she naturally appeared precocious in a group of little children, and her adult mind, although she restrained and disguised a little in order not to be regarded as a monster, but if she really can't even compare to a group of children, then it will be tragic.

In addition, she was very interested in classical culture in her previous life, and she was not interested in children's games, so naturally when they were playing, she practiced calligraphy at home, learned to paint, play the piano, rode horses, learned crepe poetry, and learned to write Fu - not to mention the rest, how much does it cost to learn to play the piano and ride a horse in modern times?

She is interested in learning, and there are people who are willing to teach well, she is like a fish in water, burying her head in her homework every day, and she is very fulfilling.

has studied since she was a child, and with the assistance of the big environment, she is such a modern person, and she can gradually write poems and essays by herself.

And from the era of the explosion of information in the 21st century, Shen Ruyu's thinking reaction is of course much more active than a group of ancients, from childhood to adulthood, poetry meetings, tea parties, and drinking parties have participated more, and inexplicably walked out of a "talented" path, and after she performed the ceremony, her fame was even so great that she was crowned in the world, making her weak to death - maybe her poems are really good, but she doesn't believe it if she doesn't have the influence of the Shen family's background.

But what is even more inexplicable is not the name of a talented woman, but her amorous name-

Heaven testifies, she is sullen!

Seeing the boys who hadn't even grown up, they couldn't be called teenagers—what was wrong with her friendly and friendly smile! What's wrong! They talked to her shyly, and she listened patiently and gently, and then smiled and replied no! They stammered nervously, and she couldn't laugh when she thought it was funny! Can't you!

Why do you say that she is amorous! Why do you say that she hooks up with ignorant teenagers everywhere! Is that a teenager! Is that! In her eyes, these boys who are about to get married at the age of twelve or thirteen are a group of elementary school students, okay! And where did she hook up! Where to hook up!! It's said that she's sullen! Isn't it basic politeness to smile before you say anything! Is it polite! Is she so undignified!

"But it's good now, it's good that I don't have the reputation of 'Ruyu Lady', otherwise," Cui Wenjun picked her long eyebrows and glanced at Shen Ruyu teasingly, "I'm seventeen years old, and I can't even touch a man, pitiful, pitiful." ”

The corners of Shen Ruyu's mouth twitched.

Ruyu Niangzi or something, probably similar to the name of Ruyu Gongzi in her previous world...... However, is she not used to the customs of women enough...... Ruyu Gongzi sounds very handsome, Ruyu Niangzi...... Why does it feel so frustrated......

"Who said I hadn't touched it." She couldn't help but glance at Cui Wenjun.

Shen Ruyu's character has been said before, she is sullen, and the meaning of sullenness lies in the word sullen, she always thinks about many things silently by herself, but she will never show a bit, therefore, she has lived quietly in this female world for seventeen years, and no one can see the edges and corners of her hidden people who belong to another world.

So many people don't understand why Shen Ruyu, who is calm and gentle in the eyes of the elders, has a good relationship with the famous mad Ji Cui Wenjun.

…… Because compared to those ancient people who have a board and a glance, Cui Wenjun is crazy enough.

Cui Wenjun's eyes widened, "Who did you touch?" Her mouth hurt badly and said, "Hey, don't you go to harm other people's Xiaolangjun, when you were sixteen years old, your mother revealed that she wanted to marry the He family, and what happened?" Within a few days, the He family was exiled by the whole family. ”

As she spoke, her mouth pursed in the direction of the palace, with a look of "that noble man won't let you go."

"Nonsense." Shen Ruyu insisted that how could an emperor be so rash, this is not a romance that does not need logic, the heroine looks at others, and the male protagonist kills the whole family like a snake spirit. "Is that because the He family is suspected of the Hengzhou assassination corruption case? They came to my mother to marry my sister, and they just wanted to get rid of our Shen family. My mother saw it and didn't agree at all. ”

Cui Wenjun pursed her lips disapprehantly, "Who knows." Men are always easily carried away by jealousy. ”

This sentence made Shen Ruyu a little confused again.

But Cui Wenjun quickly turned back to the topic, "Eh, you haven't said it yet, who did you touch?" ”

"Who did she touch?!"

In the Tai Chi Palace, a young man in a yellow robe—well, by the standards of the ancients, he wasn't young anymore—looked gloomily at the inner guard kneeling in front of the hall.

The young woman dressed in the service of the internal guard bowed her head extremely respectfully, at this time, this well-behaved appearance, where is there still half a point of the arrogance of the legendary mad queen?

"Back to Her Majesty, Ruyu Niangzi said that when she was ten years old, she wrote a word in the palm of a man's palm. But no matter how her subordinates asked later, she just smiled and didn't answer. ”

Cui Wenjun thought silently in his heart, I don't know who this unlucky little Langjun is, if he is found out, it is estimated that both hands will have to be cut off.

But she knelt for a long time, when she suddenly heard a chuckle from above.

Cui Wenjun's heart jumped, and his head suddenly lowered lower.

It's over, it's a mad rhythm.

But who knew that when Li Cao spoke again, he never mentioned the previous incident again, his mood improved strangely, and the atmosphere that was almost oppressive and impossible to breathe before was finally relaxed.

"Speaking of which, next month will be her eighteenth birthday."

The emperor said nonchalantly, looking like he was mentioning it casually.

As soon as she heard this, Cui Wenjun was speechless for a while, she was very flexible, and naturally knew what he meant, so she followed the emperor's words wisely at the moment, "Yes." According to the decree promulgated by Emperor Taizong, if a woman is 18 and a man is 15 unmarried, the government must forcibly marry. ”

But the "Great Law" promulgated by Emperor Taizong, now no one has translated it at all, most women in the world start a family at fifteen or sixteen, and men marry at twelve or thirteen, and they are rarely used, Your Majesty, you have to use this article to frame Shen Ruyu, why don't you look at you are twenty-five and don't even have a woman!

Li Cao couldn't hear the complaint in her heart at all, and he was in a good mood and said "um", "Then in my name, let's hold a flower-viewing banquet tomorrow." ”

What a poop!! Is there any connection to this? What does Ruyu's birthday next month have to do with tomorrow's flower-viewing banquet!

- But whatever the Emperor says, that's what it is.

Who let her now be in the dark feudal* imperial society of all evils?

It stands to reason that a banquet that invites the entire Chang'an marriageable men and women should have to be prepared for a long time, but seeing that His Majesty the Emperor said that tomorrow will be able to open smoothly, it seems that it has been prepared for a long time.

Cui Wenjun thought happily, fortunately, her wedding date is next year, and now she can still be regarded as an "unmarried" marriageable man and woman, it seems that she can sneak in and watch.

How can she not be excited to watch such a famous love affair up close?

And Li Cao in the Daming Palace silently spread out his palms, he squinted his eyes, and remembered the afternoon of that year.

At that time, his mother was weak, his father was in power, his four sisters were sick, they died, and one was left to be relegated to the bitter cold land by his father, he was his father's most beloved son, but the reason why his father loved him the most was entirely because he was a son.

How ridiculous, the father and queen are men, but they are ready to move on the ninety-five supreme position, but he walks towards the dragon chair step by step, but like everyone else, he takes it for granted that men are no threat to the throne, and wary of his sisters and unscrupulously pamper him.

But how much he is like him, ambition, wrist, scheming, he has a lot.

But from time to time, there will be a faint uneasiness in his heart - is it really intolerable for a man to be the emperor?

That's when he met her.

He was eighteen and she was ten.

He was the most beloved son of his mother, the emperor's father, and he was so arrogant that he never married at the age of eighteen.

And when she was ten years old, the name of early wisdom and intelligence had already resounded in Beijing.

Her father liked her very much, and often summoned her to the palace, and she also liked the way her father looked, and painted him many, many paintings, and sometimes he looked at his father's expression looking at her paintings, and almost thought that there was some kind of indecent affection between them.

One day he went to look for his father, and he heard them talking in the house outside the door, and she was drawing his father again.

He heard his father's voice, and he said to her, "Ruyu, I want to be emperor." ”

Even he, who had been vaguely speculating in his heart, couldn't help but shake subconsciously when he actually heard his father say such words, but the slender and petite figure was still carefully depicted on the paper, and her eyes when she looked up at her father were still extremely natural, and she didn't even shake her hands, as if he didn't say "I want to be the emperor", but praised her for making progress in painting recently.

But she was not unresponsive, and when she looked up at her father, a very bright smile bloomed on her face.

There was a kind of natural support in that smile, as if to say, "That's how it should be."

If his father really became emperor in the end, he might set an excellent example for him to know that it was not impossible for a man to be emperor, but just before his father was ready to ascend the throne, he died of illness, which unconsciously left a layer of haze in his heart.

At that time, the voice of the whole country to welcome his fourth sister back to Beijing was very loud, and he looked at the spiritual position of his father, and his heart was shaken like never before.

Then, he subconsciously ran to find her.

At that time, he was not still called Li Cao, but that day, she held his hand and wrote the word "Cao" in the palm of his hand stroke by stroke.

She said to him, "This word means that the sun and the moon are in the sky, shining all over the world." ”

She told him, "Being an emperor has nothing to do with whether you are a man or a woman. What matters is whether you have the ability and determination to afford the people of the world. ”

She told him, "I think it's better for you to be emperor than your sisters." ”

He slowly closed his palms and sighed lowly, he missed her again after three days of not seeing her......

Last time it was a cultural meeting, this time it was a cherry blossom viewing party, what good reason can I use it?
