Chapter XLVIII
The three of them sat down in their respective seats, and the servants of the palace immediately served tea and delicate pastries.
Empress Zhaode was quite satisfied with Chu Wu in her heart, but there was one thing she felt very strange that she had a feeling of familiarity at first sight with Chu Wu! It's a feeling that I can't explain.
Rumors say that this princess of Chu has a cowering personality and is weak and incompetent.
However, Empress Zhaode didn't think so from the beginning, and she never commented on people she hadn't seen at will!
Only when we have been in contact with each other can we judge a person's heart.
And Ah Zhi seems to be very suspicious of Chu Yu, and he deliberately let himself test her!
In fact, in her opinion, although Chu Wu looks quite gentle on the surface, in fact, she is very tenacious and has a rebellious nature hidden in her bones.
Since Chu Wu has never received Ah Mo's favor and care in the past half a year, she can still be indifferent, and now she has the opportunity to enter the palace, and her attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and she is not shocked by the humiliation!
The eyes are clear and refreshing, the eyes are like a clear spring, and there is a faint sharpness in the depths of the eyes.
Her heart is transparent and intelligent, and she is not a bad girl!
She is never wrong when she sees people, and Empress Zhaode still believes in her own feelings.
Therefore, Empress Zhaode's eyes looked at Chu Wu more gently, "I heard that my younger brother and sister accidentally fell into the lake and had a serious illness before, but now they are okay?" ”
Chu Wu's eyes flashed lightly, and she got up and replied: "Sister-in-law Lao is worried, and now she is in good health!" ”
Regardless of whether others really care or not, at least you have to have an attitude of gratitude when you ask.
Chu Wu and Empress Zhaode chatted word by word, and gradually found that the other party had an appetite for himself in terms of both his views and temperament, so the attitude of the two was not as unfamiliar as before.
Chu Wu gradually let go of the restraint and vigilance in her heart, Empress Zhaode's temperament is as warm as water, which makes people feel comfortable and natural, and there will be no feeling of oppression.
However, in Chu Wu's opinion, Empress Zhaode's opinion is not as gentle as hers, but very sharp, and often coincides with herself.
This made Chu Wan very surprised!
Therefore, Chu Wu has a better impression of Empress Zhaode in her heart, and she also likes to get along with her.
The key is that Chu Wu can feel that Empress Zhaode has no ill will towards her!
Empress Zhaode's thoughts are the same as Chu Wu's, she hasn't met someone who can talk to her like this for a long time.
"Sister-in-law thinks that a woman's responsibility must be to familiarize herself with the female precepts, the three obedience and four virtues, and after marrying, she can only take care of housework at home, and can't go to the temple?" Empress Zhaode asked lightly, with a hint of stubbornness in her tone.
Ye Ling, Aunt Tao was shocked when she heard this!
Ye Ling's mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Empress Zhaode in surprise. Obviously, she didn't expect Empress Zhaode to say such a thing!
Fortunately, there are no others in this hall, all of them are Empress Zhaode's people.
When Chu Wu heard this, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and her heart was surprised.
I didn't expect Empress Zhaode, who was so gentle and indifferent, to ask such a sharp question!
Chu Wu couldn't help but feel faintly in her heart, in fact, Empress Zhaode's personality was not as gentle as it seemed, but there was some rebellion and unwillingness in her bones, which was very similar to herself.
This is also why I have a feeling of hating to see Empress Zhaode.
However, this topic is a bit sharp and rebellious in this era, and Chu Wu doesn't quite understand whether Empress Zhaode is tempted or really just feeling!
Chu Wu's eyes flashed slightly, and after thinking about it slightly, she replied slowly: "The "Three Virtues and Four Virtues" is originally a virtue, which refers to the moral model and etiquette that a woman should have. But in this cultural framework, the emphasis on "patriarchy" and "husband's authority" makes women's social status very low, and even became an accessory to men for a time. ”
Chu Wu paused slightly, and said in a somewhat serious tone: "There are many women with earth-shattering talents, and it can even be said that if you let go of your hands and feet and let them learn, they are not much worse than men."
Whether it is national or academic, but once a concept is deeply rooted in their minds, whether it is right or not, they will only feel that it should be so! Because that's what the environment is! If someone thinks this way, it will make others feel that this person has a problem with their mentality and is out of step with others! But..... I don't think so! ”
Chu Wu doesn't have any great dreams to change the rules of this world!
It's just that Empress Zhaode asked so, and she answered honestly.
What she thought was that in fact, Empress Zhaode also had this idea in her heart, but she couldn't say this, so it was better to say it boldly herself!
Chu Wu's words can be said to be very rebellious in this world!
Hearing these words, Ye Ling and Aunt Tao were stunned and shocked!
However, after Ye Ling came to his senses, his mood was agitated, and his heart was excited.
felt more and more that what Chu Wu said was very reasonable, and instantly regarded Chu Wu as a confidant.
The round eyes looked at Chu Wu with bright eyes, and she looked quite cute.
She also hates this, and her mother often whispers in her ear, how should she be as a girl!
I'm annoyed with her!
She felt that she was no worse than men, so why couldn't she practice martial arts? Why is she being talked about by others when she practices martial arts?
Aunt Tao looked at Chu Wu with a strange look in her eyes, and frowned slightly.
When Empress Zhaode heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and her heart, which had been silent for many years, had a trace of waves.
In fact, before she was in time, Empress Zhaode's temperament was already a little rebellious.
Although he was born in a century-old scholarly family, sometimes he is very disdainful of the evaluation of women by those saints in the book, but he can only hide it in his heart.
Because as long as he said it, he would scare his nurse half to death, and cover his mouth tightly. It is conceivable that if I let my father and mother know what I think, I am afraid that I will not have such a good time!
Until she got married and became the queen again, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she could only suppress her temperament and thoughts.
Now that someone has said it for her, Chu Wu said it a little deviant, but it wasn't what she wanted to say when she was young!
Moreover, Chu Wu's words were sharp and pointed to the crux of the problem, and she said the central point in one sentence. Empress Zhaode also had some admiration for Chu Sister-in-law, and her eyes were very gentle and close to Chu Woman.
Empress Zhaode couldn't help but laugh softly, her eyes were full of smiles, this was a smile that emanated from the inside out, which made people feel very dazzling.
Aunt Tao was slightly stunned when she saw Empress Zhaode's smile, a trace of distress flashed in her eyes, and she didn't say anything.
Empress Zhaode's soft voice was a little tough: "My daughter-in-law's views are always so sharp, and she hits the nail on the head, and it coincides with me!" ”
Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded violently on the side, not realizing how inconsistent what Empress Zhaode said was with what a queen should say.
When Aunt Tao heard this, she frowned slightly, and just wanted to open her mouth to remind, but was interrupted by Empress Zhaode's wave, so she could only sigh secretly and retreat helplessly.
Chu Wu was a little impressed by Empress Zhaode's thoughts, she felt that Empress Zhaode was really different!
In this era, she, as a queen, took the lead in saying such rebellious words! It can be seen from this that Empress Zhaode's temperament and sincerity to herself!
Chu Wan and Empress Zhaode looked at each other.
The eyes of the two were intertwined in the air, and at this moment, it seemed to cross time and space, and both of them felt that the other party was an old friend they had known for many years.
Both of them have the same stubbornness and recklessness in their bones, so when they met for the first time, they felt that they were instantly full of affection for each other!
Empress Zhaode smiled softly, and her gentle and quiet face added a bit of vitality and brilliance.
Chu Wu looked at Empress Zhaode and smiled slightly, her apricot eyes were slightly curved, and the shallow pear vortex on her lips loomed.
"Why is the queen so happy to laugh, can you tell your sister and make her sister happy?" Suddenly, a delicate laugh sounded, and there was a hint of arrogance in his tone.
"Mother's forgiveness!" Qingxiang couldn't stop the woman, and knelt down directly to plead guilty.
Chu Wu looked at the woman in palace clothes who entered the palace without notification, squinted her apricot eyes slightly, and raised her eyebrows.
This woman is wearing a big peony red palace dress, very gorgeous, with low-hanging sideburns obliquely inserted with pearls in the golden step, pulling a flying fairy bun, beautiful eyes, peach cheeks smiling, curling Tingting, charming and boneless, and extremely charming!
Chu Wu sighed secretly in her heart: "It is indeed a charming beauty!" ”
Empress Zhaode waved her hand to Qingxiang, and when she saw the visitor, her eyes sank slightly, and she returned to her usual dignified and generous, gentle and detached smile.
Seeing this, Chu Wu's mind turned a few times.
Empress Zhaode smiled faintly and said, "How can Concubine Jing have time to come to Changle Palace in this palace?" ”
I secretly said in my heart: "Hmph! It's coming pretty fast! ”
When Concubine Jing came in, she saw that Empress Zhaode was smiling so softly and intimately at the woman in light purple next to her.
She was amazed, she had never seen Empress Zhaode so close to any of her wives or other girls.
This smiled and saluted: "The concubine greets the queen!" ”
Empress Zhaode looked at Concubine Jing's eyes softly but indifferently: "No courtesy!" Sit! ”
The palace people quickly moved the chairs, and Concubine Jing sat down elegantly with a smile on her face.
Ye Ling secretly rolled his eyes, got up slowly, and saluted Concubine Jing: "The courtiers have seen Concubine Jing!" ”
Concubine Jing nodded proudly: "Well, no courtesy!" ”
Concubine Jing then looked at Chu Wu, who was sitting quietly under the queen.
Dressed in a light purple brocade robe, with a smile on his face. The eyebrows are picturesque and the face is delicate. The posture is dignified, the attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and there is a noble temperament that cannot be violated by others.
Concubine Jing raised her eyebrows, a trace of jealousy and annoyance flashed in her eyes, this woman didn't salute when she saw her?
But Concubine Jing knew that the people who could be in the queen's palace were all people of high status, and they were also dressed as married.
I secretly said in my heart: Which lady is it? Why didn't she know?
Concubine Jing had just gotten the news that Empress Zhaode had specially summoned someone, which made her very curious, so she came to take a look.
Concubine Jing was not so stupid, she went directly to offend others, so she asked with a smile: "Queen Mother, ..... is this lady?" ”
Zhaode glanced at Concubine Jing and knew her thoughts, and introduced: "This is Princess Xiao, Concubine Chu!" ”
and said softly to Chu Wu: "Sister-in-law, this is Concubine Jing, the youngest daughter of General Lu, the general of Zhenguo. Concubine Jing is gentle and kind, beautiful and generous, and the emperor loves her very much! ”
In a word, he explained to Chu Wu who Concubine Jing was, and told Chu Wu about Concubine Jing's current identity and status, and secretly sarcastic.
