"Coming back?" Shangguan Yan said happily, "Hurry up and inform Gongzi that they don't have to go out to find them again." ”

"Yes."

Shangguan Yan and the three of them hurriedly greeted them, and saw Chu Yue'an wearing a dark green cloak, standing in the snow, still holding a black plum in his hand, and Yuwen Jinghuai was not far from her, his eyes seemed to be contemplative.

"You're back." Shangguan Yan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Chu Yue'an's hand, "Are you injured?" You're too nonsense, and you're really going to pick ink plums alone! ”

"Willing to gamble." Chu Yue'an said lightly.

Shangguan Yan ordered the maid to take the ink plum in Chu Yue'an's hand, she glanced at Yuwen Jinghuai again, and said with some complaints: "Your Highness, where did you go?" If you want to go out, you should tell your men, even they don't know where you have gone. ”

"Brother Yan, don't be angry." Yuwen Jinghuai said with a smile, "Isn't this king back in a good way?" ”

Chu Yuexi glanced at the two outside the door, rolled her eyes, and asked, "Did Your Highness and Second Sister come back together?" ”

"Met on the road." Chu Yue'an said lightly, "It's windy, let's talk inside." ”

Everyone entered the house to speak, and a warm current hit, Chu Yue sighed comfortably, and said with a smile: "That piece of plum forest on the mountain is really beautiful and magnificent, when the weather is good, you should also go and take a look, it will be a great shock." ”

"The favorite concubine of the previous dynasty, Dong Guifei, loved Mei, and the emperor planted a plum forest for her here, and this mountain villa was specially built for her to enjoy the plum blossoms." Shangguan Yan said, "It's been decades since I talked about it. ”

Chu Yue'an took the soup woman handed over by Chu Yueyun and warmed her cold hand, and said, "This former emperor is a seed of infatuation. ”

"It is said that he doesn't want a beauty, and Concubine Dong is also known as a demon concubine of the country." Shangguan Yan said, "I don't think so, at that time, many of the malpractices of the previous dynasty had already fallen into it first, the eunuch dictatorship was rampant, the officials were corrupt and the army was festering, coupled with a locust plague of thousands of miles on the red land, the people couldn't survive, the uprising was a natural thing, whether there was Dong Guifei in history or not, this result would not change, a decadent and defeated dynasty was not a Ming monarch who could turn things around, this is the luck of the dynasty." ”

After a pause, she continued: "It's just that later generations of scholars wanted to find an excuse for the demise of the dynasty, and pushed all the reasons for failure to one woman. It is clear that it is men who make a series of policies, it is men who implement these policies, and it is those men who are incompetent and greedy, but it is to push a woman out and become the culprit! ”

Chu Yueyun stroked his palms when he heard this, and said: "Well said, history is written by men, so naturally we have to try our best to defend men, and no one wants to admit their failures." So the second sister said it well, we women should dare to do our own things and be responsible for our own lives, even if we really become the women referred to by Qianfu, then we have to really do something that makes people point to them, and we can't bear the guilt in vain. ”

Chu Yue didn't understand their words, and said in a low voice: "Since ancient times, men and women have been different, and the universe is orderly, how can it be reversed?" We women have our own women's duties. ”

"What kind of woman is not talented is virtue, that is the nonsense made up by those men, just to fear that women will know how to think independently when they have insight. Once you know how to think, you won't be at ease as a woman with a husband and children. Chu Yuean smiled lightly, "There are many things in this world since ancient times, not all of them are correct, we must know how to think about right and wrong for ourselves, this is the meaning of reading." Knowing right and wrong is much more important than those poems and songs. ”

"Ahem." Outside the curtain, Yuwen Jinghuai, who was lazily leaning on the chaise longue, coughed, "This man is still here, and you women are not ashamed to speak out here, isn't it too presumptuous?" ”

Shangguan Yan laughed lightly: "Your Highness has the most confidants, and he should be the one who understands women the most, since we don't shy away from you when we speak, we naturally treat you as our own, you can tell me, are we right?" ”

Yuwen Jinghuai sat up from the chair and narrowed his eyes: "Who is spreading these fallacies with you?" ”

"Your Highness thinks what we are talking about is a fallacy and heresy?" Chu Yueyun snorted, "Thinking about it, we're just afraid that we look down on His Highness." ”

"You're not a little daring." Yuwen Jinghuai smiled, "But this king likes crooked reasoning and heresy." This king does not like women who are submissive, and this king admires women who have insight and their own thoughts. But this world is like this, not a few deafening words can change, this king can only feel sorry for you, if you are men, you must also do something. ”

"I believe that what men can do can be done by women, and even if we are women, we will definitely do something in the future." Chu Yuean said.

While talking, I only heard footsteps outside, but I saw that Shangguan Xun and a few of them also rushed over, and a few people were relieved to see that the King of Chu had returned safely.

"Your Highness, are you all right?"

"Don't worry, this king is very good." Yuwen Jinghuai said lightly.

The dark clouds weighed down, and the sky outside was completely dark, and the maid went inside and lit the lamp.

Shangguan Xun looked at Momei by the window: "I really picked it back." ”

Shangguan Yan smiled: "No, but you can't underestimate our Second Miss Chu at all, go and pick the plum blossoms back alone, and you can't treat her as a weak woman in the future." ”

Shangguan Xun looked at the beauty and loveliness of this ink plum, inserted in the blue and white porcelain borrowed from the king of Chu, it was even more unique, when even if it was a poem, everyone applauded, he immediately unfolded the flower branches, depicting a picture of the ink plum, the artistic conception is far-reaching, lifelike.

Chu Yue'an looked at Shangguan Xun again, this prime minister's son, sure enough, has real talent and real learning in his belly, and after the beginning of spring, there will be a scientific examination, I am afraid that he will inevitably be named on the gold list. In the future, I can let Chu Qingbai get in touch with him more, not only to learn knowledge, but also to get closer to him.

Seeing that the hour was getting late, the maids set up two more sumptuous dinners.

Chu Yue regretted that the bowl of deer blood in the afternoon, when she saw the food at this time, she only felt that she couldn't eat anything at all when she saw the food in the house, seeing this, Shangguan Yan had to ask the maid to send her back to the room to rest first.

Chu Yue'an consumed a lot of physical strength today, and his appetite at night was good, Chu Yueyun asked in a low voice, "Is it that the king of Chu will go to the back mountain with you to pick ink plums?" ”

"He followed me." Chu Yue'an said lightly, "This highness must not be underestimated. ”

"Didn't you warn me a long time ago? I just think that the King of Chu treats you unusually. Chu Yueyun continued in a low voice, "You don't and don't believe it, King Chu is arrogant, even if he has a good feeling, he will definitely not show it on his lips, we have to observe the details." I found out that he likes to play with you and bully you. ”

"Bullying me means having a crush on me?" Chu Yue'an asked with wide eyes.

"You take a closer look at those little boys, if they like a girl, they will definitely bully her for fun, so as to attract the attention of girls, although His Royal Highness the King of Chu is in a high position, and there are constantly warblers and warblers around him, maybe he is a child at heart." Chu Yueyun covered her mouth and smiled, "If you don't believe it, let's see." ”

Chu Yue'an trembled: "Don't curse me." ”

Shangguan Yan was upset: "What are you two muttering about!" ”

"It's not a big deal, by the way, isn't there a hot spring here? How about a hot spring at night? Chu Yueyun asked, "I've soaked in a few hot springs, and they all say that the hot springs here are the most nourishing for the skin, and I want to see it today!" ”

"Don't worry, it's already been arranged for you." Shangguan Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Since I invited you here, I will naturally arrange it properly to make you comfortable." ”

After eating, Shangguan Yan took Chu Yue'an and Chu Yueyun to the pool of the hot spring.

However, Chu Yue was worried about another thing, the two murdered little guys on the road didn't know if they had been found now, and the two of them were also unlucky, but they went out to find someone but caused this unwarranted disaster.

Who is the person in this villa who wants to kill her or Yuwen Jinghuai? Is it really possible to elicit it?

The male and female pools are naturally separated, Shangguan Yan took Chu Yue'an and Chu Yueyun sisters to the courtyard on the right, there are three side-by-side rooms in the courtyard, she said: "Since we are sisters, we can soak in the same pool, and we can talk together." ”

As she spoke, she took the two of them inside, and the maid had been waiting for them for a long time, and as soon as the three of them entered, they waited for them to take off their clothes and change into the lighter gauze clothes used for bathing in the hot springs.

This sarong is of little use, and what should be seen can still be seen, but the three of them did not feel embarrassed and entered the pool together.

The warm spring water wrapped around their bodies, and the three of them couldn't help but sigh in enjoyment.

Shangguan Yan sent all the maids out, and seeing that there was no one left and right, she swam to Chu Yue'an's side and whispered: "Listen to Yueyun, the second lady made a Xuanmen?" ”

Chu Yue'an glanced at Chu Yueyun, and Chu Yueyun stuck out his tongue: "Brother Yan is not an outsider. ”

"It's just a child's house." Chu Yue'an shook the surface of the water and said lightly.

"Then why don't you take me along?" Shangguan Yan grabbed Chu Yue'an's arm, "Listening to Yueyun, she is learning medical skills from you now, and I also want to join in, not for fun, I'm serious." I often hear Yueyun relay the words of the second lady, and I also listen to it with great effort, this woman should naturally live for herself, and I also want to do something in the future, instead of relying on my parents and future husband. It's just that this road is so difficult, I walk alone, but I'm afraid it's not easy, so I want to walk with you. ”
