That afternoon, He Xingyao summoned Li Anniang rarely, intending to learn about some internal affairs of the Li family.

Speaking of which, it was a coincidence that Li Anniang was planning to report something to her in the next few days, and the two of them met in the pavilion of the imperial garden in the palace.

The breeze was blowing gently, and the clothes Li Anniang was wearing were a little thin, so even though it was just a breeze, she still felt the cold.

He Xingyao saw it, so he said with a smile: "Anniang, you came to see me today, why don't you know how to wear more clothes?" The wind is blowing, and you have always been afraid of the cold, really, a little ignorant. ”

Li Anniang knew that she was just teasing herself, and she didn't have much malice, so she didn't care much about it at all.

It was Xiao Yan who heard the emperor say such things, so he pouted and began to complain: "Yes, the head of the family, I was going to see the emperor today, but I reminded you that the weather is impermanent, and you should wear thicker, so that it is more cold, but you said at home that it would be very troublesome and cumbersome to wear too much, so you refused me, and now I see that the emperor has said so, really, at the beginning, even if you wear one more dress, you will feel warmer than now." ”

After saying this, Xiao Yan finally shut up.

It was He Xingyao who was a little impressed by Xiao Yan.

So, she looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Li Anniang, in fact, the people around you are really good, this Xiao Yan looks smart and clever, and he can help you out, it's really good!" ”

Talking about this topic, Li Anniang was in a better mood at this time, so she said: "Yes, Xiao Yan has been following Weichen for many years, I treat her like a sister, and they are close to each other, in fact, to be honest, Xiao Yan is much better to those relatives in our family, so I always have a special feeling for her." ”

While speaking, Li Anniang couldn't help but take Xiao Yan's hand and said, "Xiao Yan, thank you for your companionship over the years, now even the emperor thinks you are so clever!" ”

Xiao Yan didn't speak, even if Li Anniang really treated her as her own sister, but in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were still the relationship between master and servant, no matter who could deny this, so He Xingyao would not let a servant girl who was more than a servant appear next to his minister no matter what, this Xiao Yan was really clever, so he didn't cause any big trouble.

He Xingyao looked at Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan's appearance was okay, although it was not a real alluring country, but she was also delicate and elegant, and she knew at a glance that she was a quiet and clever girl.

So, she planned to bring Xiao Yan to her side, and when she thought about it, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Xiao Yan, are you willing to come to the palace as a female official?" Running these chores of the court? ”

As soon as these words fell, Xiao Yan directly knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in fear: "The emperor's grace is above, but Xiao Yan is just a little maidservant, although it is good to be a female official by the emperor's side, but the slave maid is really reluctant to be a girl in our family, and I ask the emperor to fulfill it." ”

Xiao Yan's refusal suddenly made He Xingyao want to be angry, but fortunately, she is still sensible now, so she didn't get angry on the spot.

It was Li Anniang, when she heard what Xiao Yan said just now, she felt extremely moved for a while, and hugged Xiao Yan at once, and the two of them stared at each other affectionately, with each other's light in their eyes, this is the best friendship between their master and servant.

It's just that in front of He Xingyao, the two of them are not too out of line.

After a long time, He Xingyao calmed down his heart a little, and his mood was finally not so angry.

So, she asked, "Anniang, what I asked you to investigate before, how did you investigate?" Tell me about that! ”

When Li Anniang heard the order, she directly agreed.

So, she began to tell about the tragic experiences between women.

Here's the thing:

At that time, He Xingyao and Li Anniang investigated the things about women in the world, whether they were girls or women, or they had reached the age of teasing their grandchildren, don't miss them.

So, Li Anniang said to He Xingyao.

This Li Anniang is not too young, and now she has long passed the age of marriage, but she is still in the boudoir, but she knows everything about those women.

She said it for almost a long time before everything was finally finished.

He Xingyao listened to her say this little for a long time, and benefited a lot for a while.

So, He Xingyao said: "Anniang, what do you mean are those girls who are waiting for words, some of them have no opinions, and even always think that getting married is the main goal of life, but I think this is not good, after all, not everyone can live well when they get married, they may be just chess pieces in the family, if they are useful, they will be better, if they are useless, they can only be given up, such a girl is really unlucky!" ”

Li Anniang was very much in agreement with this, so she spoke: "Yes, those girls often lack the ability to distinguish right from wrong, or even if they are smart enough, they can't resist the oppression of the family after all, whether it is the daughter of the common people, or the girls of those big families, behind each woman, they all represent their family, and those people sacrifice the happiness of their daughter's life for their own interests, which is really a little too selfish." ”

When he said this, He Xingyao said to Xiao Yan again: "Xiao Yan, you have always been a good sister of Li Anniang, and you have lived at the bottom since you were a child, so what do you think the girls at the bottom lack the most?" What should they do best? ”

Xiao Yan originally didn't plan to say anything, but looking at He Xingyao's shining eyes, it was really attractive, so he said: "Your Majesty, you asked this well, Xiao Yan feels that a low-level girl like us has been living a very hard life since she was a child, the order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, and in order to marry a stranger she doesn't know, she will be tortured and painful after marriage, this is really not the most suitable destination for a woman, so Xiao Yan thinks that those marriage things should be free, not forced, Being directly stamped by both parents, and then being together, is not only sloppy, it is also an irresponsible manifestation of a person's lifelong happiness, which is really not something that every one of us should advocate. ”

When she said this, Xiao Yan somehow suddenly burst into tears, and she took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to wipe her tears with her sleeve, which looked really pitiful.

He Xingyao didn't know what was going on, so he asked curiously: "Xiao Yan, let's talk about it well, why are you crying?" ”

Xiao Yan smiled helplessly and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the villain thought of some past events, so he was sad for a while, such a gaffe, or the emperor forgives the sin, Xiao Yan didn't mean it." ”

Putting this topic aside for the time being, He Xingyao continued: "But those women who have already married have worked extra hard for their families and children, but the people they marry, they live a life that has no self at all, I think this is really not good, and it is too unfair to women." ”

After a pause, she continued: "It is said that the male protagonist is outside, and the female protagonist is inside, but in fact, the men I have met are really not as good as they seem, they are good at disguise, deceiving those girls who are still in the boudoir, this kind of behavior is really despicable, you say, if a man makes a mistake, how should he be punished?" ”

Just as a few of them were talking, He Muzhi appeared behind He Xingyao at some point, and took over by the way: "Sister, what are you discussing?" What men make mistakes? Who made what mistakes and needs to be punished? ”

He Muzhi's speech has always been as crisp and pleasant as a lark, so as soon as he finished saying these words, He Xingyao and the eyes of several of them all focused on He Muzhi's body.

I saw Li Anniang smile and said, "His Royal Highness Mu Zhi is really clever, and he can hear the topic we discussed so far away. ”

He Muzhi also smiled at the person in front of him, and said: "That's natural, I have always paid the most attention to my sister's affairs, so I naturally want to know a thing or two about the things you discuss." ”

He Xingyao hooked her nose dotingly, and said, "Mu Zhi, didn't I tell you yesterday that you should accompany your father and mother to relax in the palace today?" How did it end so quickly? ”

He Muzhi saw that she brought up this matter, so he pouted and said with a face full of unhappiness: "It's all you, you still say it, I don't know who came to my father and mother to say some indecent things recently, they all said that sister, you and Brother Chu Yuan are not a good match, and also said that Mrs. Chu is just a down-and-out nobleman, there is nothing great at all, but she still has to put on music everywhere, that shelf is really a little too big, anyway, I don't like you everywhere, I said a few words to my father and mother, and they kicked me out, He also said that I have nothing to do to persuade you, don't always think about walking with that down-and-out nobleman, after all, your current identity is the emperor, if you want to marry a man, then your natural identity and status must be extraordinarily matched. ”

When he said this, He Xingyao directly blackened his face.

She never thought that there would be someone to tell right and wrong in front of her father, this person is simply impatient, and he is instigating under the emperor's nose, it is really lawless.

So, she scolded directly: "Don't say it, I don't want to hear these words in the future, you go back and tell your father and mother, so that they don't need to be embarrassed about my affairs everywhere, even if I want to marry someone, it's still very early, after all, the world is decided, and everything is waiting to be revived, but I don't have much time to waste on that child's affection, if they are really worried about me, it is better to worry more about the people for me, and share some troubles for me, instead of always making trouble for me." ”

When He Xingyao heard those words, he was simply angry.

Who she likes, she can't allow others to slander her so much, even if the relationship between her and Chu Yuan is not very good now, but it's not something that a cat or a dog can tell casually.

He Muzhi also looked at her indignantly and said: "Yes, sister, it's just that I didn't expect that my father and mother really listened to those people's slanderous words, they were really dissatisfied with Brother Chu Yuan, and when I was inquiring today, I also accidentally heard that Mrs. Chu said that she was ordered to enter the palace to visit her father and mother, but I don't know whose order this lady was on?" My sister really couldn't figure it out, and at first I was still wondering if Mrs. Chu didn't want her son to be with my sister you, so she said that her son was so unbearable, but after thinking about it, this is really not a good reason! After all, the crime of bullying the monarch and telling right and wrong in front of the emperor's parents is not small, so this suspicion was dispelled. ”

There was such a reason in the middle of this matter, He Xingyao was simply surprised.

Chu Yuan's attitude towards herself was also far and near, always unpredictable, and she combined her parents' recent views on herself and her sister, and she had a big opinion on Chu Yuan's mother in her heart.

Sure enough, after discussing the matter with Li Anniang, He Xingyao planned to let these two people go home first, and she had to deal with another more important matter.

Soon, He Xingyao asked people to personally lead Mrs. Chu into the palace, she wanted to see what kind of moth this lady was doing, and she even wanted to make waves in front of herself, even if this person was Chu Yuan's mother, she also felt that she needed to take care of it, after all, she could enter the palace at will under the pretense of the holy decree, even if she didn't have any bad intentions, this courage was not ordinary, it was really a little scary.

Just when He Xingyao was pondering, Mrs. Chu had already entered the palace, but in a moment, she had already come to He Xingyao.

She looked at Chu Yuan's mother, and said straight to the point: "Mrs. Chu, when your family was in danger, I helped you regardless of my past suspicions, but how can you take revenge, falsely proclaim the holy decree, and even instigate right and wrong under my nose? Who gave you the guts in the hell? Are it your two sons? Or do you have ambitions of your own? ”

Hearing such a question, Mrs. Chu did not speak, but laughed uncharacteristically, the smile looked a little hideous, but at the same time there was an incomprehensible sense of sadness lingering in it.

He Xingyao didn't understand what this smile meant, so he shouted and scolded: "What's the matter, you dare not listen to what I say, or do you really have itchy skin?" ”

Mrs. Chu laughed enough, so she stood up directly, and said as if crazy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what do you want to know?" The courtier's wife is just a hard-working old woman, and the husband of the people was killed by the first emperor, but the first emperor is your father on the Huang Shang! How can you be so ignorant? The women have long wanted to avenge their husbands, and the first emperor is indeed dead, but even if he dies, the husband of the women and the father of the two children will not come back after all. ”

Hearing such words, He Xingyao only felt that she was extremely pitiful, she didn't really have a life of her own at all, this woman who had been buried in half of the land at this age wanted to avenge her husband, but after all, it was still for others, she felt a little helpless.
