Chapter 33: The Shackles

Leng Yi's riding and archery skills are good, at least Shen Jinqiao can't compare.

The two of them had only been riding for a while, and Leng Yi had already hunted several prey, although they were just ordinary pheasants and rabbits, but look at Shen Jinqiao, there is only one rabbit so far, and he has been off-track, only the rabbit's legs have been pierced, and the guards have helped to catch them, and now the rabbit is still alive.

With this pitiful appearance, Shen Jinqiao was reluctant to make up for it again, so he could only medicate it and then throw it back, so he got a roll of Leng Yi's eyes.

After fighting for a while, they came to the mountain stream, and the two dismounted and rested.

Leng Yi went to wash his face, but Shen Jinqiao saw the red wild fruits growing above the mountain stream.

took a handful with a handkerchief and took it to Leng Yi: "You probably haven't eaten mountain plums, there are quite a lot of Qingshan City, I didn't cook it when I left, and now it is estimated that all of them have been picked by those children, taste it." ”

These mountain plums are snacks for the children of poor families, and the rich and noble families are disdainful.

Leng Yi didn't dislike it, took a handful and washed it in water, and threw it into his mouth, sweet and sour, which was quite good.

"Is Castle Peak City fun?"

Qingshan City is very biased, even if the official was sent to Qingshan City, he felt that he was demoted, although it was not a boundary, but it could really be called a poor and remote country, but the Huo family was rooted in Qingshan City, and Shen Jinqiao, the first beauty, grew up there.

Leng Yi hadn't been to Qingshan City, but he was curious.

"It's very good, although it is remote, but the people are simple, especially the children there, go up to the mountains to hunt and pick wild fruits, go into the water to play and touch shrimp and catch fish, and are free."

Leng Yi looked at Shen Jinqiao's nostalgic and yearning look, but was a little surprised: "It's rare to see you with such an expression, it seems that it is really a good place, and I will definitely go to see it if I have the opportunity." ”

Speaking of this, Leng Yi changed his words: "You like that place so much, is there anyone you care about?" Like childhood sweetheart's little brother or something? ”

Shen Jinqiao glanced at Leng Yi, and always felt that she was too poisoned by the drama, and she wanted to eat farts all day long.

She was forced by her grandfather to read every day, dead reading, books were piled up high, writing until her hands were broken, where was she in so much mood to think about these messes?

Besides, even if she occasionally has a little girlish thoughts, doesn't she still have an uncle?

Huo Changfeng has not been in a day or two, and the beautiful and enchanting girls around him have been changed one by one, and the man's flowery, romantic, and ruthless characteristics have been completely displayed in front of Shen Jinqiao.

Today, I have a deep love for that girl, and I can't wait to grow old together immediately, what is the result? The next day, he said this to another girl, without a sense of guilt and guilt at all, and it was called a sincerity.

The mother once scolded her uncle and asked him not to teach the child badly, but Huo Changfeng was still arrogant, saying that this was to teach Shen Jinqiao to see the world.

has seen a scumbag man like him, and no other man can deceive Shen Jinqiao in the future.

I have to say that what he said still makes some sense, Shen Jinqiao's three views were so crushed and twisted by Huo Changfeng to the point of numbness.

"I don't think as much as you, don't tell me this in the future, especially His Royal Highness the Prince, it's nothing, be careful of being listened to by others, and the trouble will come from the mouth."

The queen and the concubine are incompatible, the Shen family is a faction of the concubine, if outsiders hear that she has thoughts about His Royal Highness the Prince, the queen and the concubine will not spare her.

Leng Yi looked at Shen Jinqiao's solemn appearance, how could she not know her thoughts, but it was ridiculous because she understood.

"Jojo, what do you say we're living for?"

Shen Jinqiao: "......? _?” Why do you suddenly ask such a profound and thought-provoking question?

"Born noble, but like a canary in a cage, life has been arranged a long time ago, marry, husband and children, take concubines for husbands, and then fight with those women, a lifetime will pass like this, especially under the imperial power, it is even more difficult to have freedom, and even life and death cannot be controlled by yourself, so what's the point of living like this?"

It's not the first time Leng Yi has told Shen Jinqiao about this problem, since she was seven or eight years old, Leng Yi told Shen Jinqiao what she wanted, and as she got older, her desire to break free from the shackles became stronger.

As a famous lady, she loves to sing and practice martial arts, and she wants to break free from the shackles on her body every day, looking at the iceberg indifferent, in fact, she is more deviant than anyone else.

And Leng Yi looked at the two friends who looked like they had compromised with fate and let others slaughter them, always hating iron and steel, and they were anxious to get angry when they saw it.

Shen Jinqiao said: "......"

So she had to tie her up with His Royal Highness the Prince, and even instigated her to covet His Royal Highness the Prince, just so that she could also experience a life of control?

She couldn't say that Leng Yi's idea of wanting to break free from all this was wrong, but they were going in different directions.

Leng Yi's rebellion is based on her own current situation, she is the niece of the concubine, the cousin of King Ming, she was born destined to be the concubine of King Ming, and she has been safe and clear in this life, because she knows, she has to resist.

And Shen Jinqiao's situation is not far from her, but it is not exactly the same, because she grew up in the Huo family.

Other daughters learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and book etiquette, while Shen Jinqiao learned the art of vertical and horizontal and imperial people.

The conspirator is to step on all the people who can step on the throne and become the one in power.

The freedom of the conspirator is to control everything you can control, to make everything a pawn in your own hands, so that you have the freedom, the freedom to determine your own destiny and the destiny of others.

But this is not the same path as Leng Yi's idea at all, and it cannot be compared.

Leng Yi's thoughts are what ordinary people should have, just like the daughter in those books who are unwilling to be arranged by their parents to break free from the shackles and get true love, the heart of a child, desperate, for true love and freedom, moths to the fire.

Although the ending is often not so happy, it is precisely because of the poignancy that it is more unforgettable.

That kind of relationship is probably what should be at this age, although adults say that they are fools and dreams, but why aren't those old people like this when they are young?

Shen Jinqiao is also a girl, in her early sixteens, she is the most beautiful year of her life, she should have dreamed like Leng Yi, but ......

The old man's education of her since she was a child, her uncle's poison, and her mother's death accelerated her mental maturity.

The dream of her youth, because she is ignorant, ignorant, fearless, and imaginative, thinks it is very beautiful, but she is obviously a little less naΓ―ve, and she does not have so much leisure to grieve for any free love.
