Chapter 662: A Different Woman (2)
Because she interjected a few words, Princess Suzaku was able to ease up, and came up with another sentence, and smiled at Li Hanyao: "You always say that there are virtuous people in the world, and you praise your girl as the lord of the Ming Dynasty." If she is so powerful, why is my nephew missing from her land, and she has been unable to find the murderer behind it? Moreover, after this purge in Jiangnan, the Li family is the biggest beneficiary, how can it not make people suspicious? β
Li Hanyao said: "Princess Mingjian." Even if my girl is born, she is only sixteen years old, five years younger than her son, and she must be allowed to grow up slowly. Besides, if the enemy behind the scenes has no means, how can they provoke our two families to kill each other? It can be seen that it is also a powerful one. The princess said that the Li family was the biggest beneficiary, but she was wrong! β
Princess Suzaku stared at Li Hanyao with a fixed expression, her eyes were no longer as sharp as before, but she attached great importance to and explored.
Suddenly, she turned to Wang Yan and said with a smile: "This little girl has a good mouth, and it is strange that I heard that she is fighting with the ministers in the Qianyang Palace." Since she is an envoy, can the Lord let this princess receive her? The identity of Princess Suzaku is not insulting to her, it is more suitable than her being a boudoir daughter and dealing with a group of men. β
Wang Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "The princess wants to receive the envoy?" β
Princess Suzaku said, "Exactly." β
Wang Yan groaned: "This ......"
Without waiting for him to finish, Li Hanyao smiled: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate." β
Princess Xuanwu asked, "What's wrong?" Could it be that Princess Suzaku has such a noble status, isn't it enough to receive you a maid? β
That tone was implicitly sarcastic.
Li Hanyao said: "Don't dare." However, the little girl came to the capital to negotiate with the court on behalf of my girl on important military and political matters; Although the princess has a respectful status, she is a woman in the house, and she is not allowed to interfere in politics, and I am afraid that it is inconvenient to talk to the princess about some things. β
Princess Xuanwu: "......"
All:......
Princess Suzaku's smile remained unchanged and asked, "What does the girl mean: both are women, even if this princess has a respected status, she is not qualified to receive you as a maid?" β
Li Hanyao smiled and said: "The little woman didn't mean that, she only said that the princess was inconvenient to receive the envoys. Here, women are not allowed to interfere in politics. It's a fact! β
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Someone quietly looked at Wang Yan.
Wang Yan smiled lightly and was silent, as if he was thinking deeply.
Princess Suzaku didn't hear his voice, so she didn't look at him, she didn't expect him to come to relieve the siege, she just stared at Li Hanyao, and only chuckled for a while: "When your girl becomes the empress, it's not too late for you to say this again." β
Li Hanyao said: "She is working hard. β
Princess Suzaku was not ashamed of being bold, and said briskly: "You are so confident, it is better to let the girls ask you for advice and see how talented you are and how arrogant you are." - Please forgive this princess for using this word, because as a boudoir woman, your words and deeds just now are not only 'arrogant', but even arrogant. Then he turned to the king, bowed, and said, "I beg the Lord's permission." β
How could Wang Yan refute her face?
At the moment, he said: "Just according to the princess." β
Princess Suzaku beckoned to Wang Mo and the other women, and said with a smile: "Miss Mo, Miss Hui, let you be presumptuous in front of the elders today." Whoever you are, you can ask the chess girl for advice. Lest the chess girl think that there is no one in Kyoto! β
Wang Mo squatted down and said, "Follow the princess's orders." β
Then he got up and faced Li Hanyao.
All the girls looked at Li Hanyao with sparkling eyes.
Li Hanyao smiled and said, "This is a competition?" β
Princess Suzaku said, "Not bad. β
Li Hanyao said: "Please forgive the little woman for not obeying her fate." β
Princess Suzaku said, "Why? Are you scared? β
Li Hanyao said with a straight face: "It's not that I'm afraid, but I don't want to compare." There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people on them, not to mention that the little girl may not be able to beat the girls, even if one or two things are better than them, it is not worth showing off. The ruler is short, the inch is long, and this kind of comparison has no meaning. The princess said that the little woman was arrogant, and in my opinion, it was not arrogance, but self-confidence, which was given to me by my girl. β
She turned around, looked around at everyone, and said in an extremely serious tone: "My girl has not only given me this confidence, but also given this confidence to every woman who follows her. No matter how talented this woman is, as long as she has a skill, she will be appointed by my girl, so that she can live as freely as a man. β
Princess Suzaku could no longer maintain her composure, and her heart was violently shaken.
She remembered that in the past, after Liang Xinming failed to disguise herself as a man, she caused an uproar in the court, causing countless incidents. At that time, she once asked her father, who was the prime minister, very unevenly, "Why can't women be admitted to the imperial examination?" β
Because she is also a talented woman.
She also wanted to participate in the imperial examination.
What happened to my father at the time?
She couldn't remember anymore.
Wang Mo and the other women were also stunned.
"Childe will allow women to take the imperial examination!"
A soft voice came.
Li Hanyao looked over and couldn't help but light up.
A group of beauties stand together, full of flowers, splendid, and have their own characteristics, it is difficult for anyone to stand out, and it looks like standing out from the crowd, but Li Hanyao feels that the girl in front of her stands out.
This girl is also very beautiful, but not amazing: a slightly plump goose egg face, pink skin, a full and smooth forehead, very dark eyebrows, very bright eyes, small but plump lips, a light green dress, like a green peony in the beginning, a little shy and novel, and brave.
She was looking at Wang Yan, her eyes were expectant, as if she was asking, but that tone was affirmative, sure that Wang Yan would allow women to enter the imperial examination; Also, she called Wang Yan "Gongzi" instead of "Lord".
Wang Yan was attracted to her and looked at her.
"You want women to participate in the imperial examinations?"
"Yes."
"Do you think you will allow it?"
"Yes. When the little woman heard that Gongzi was elected as the new monarch, she was very happy, and felt that Gongzi would definitely set a precedent for women to enter the imperial examination. β
Wang Yan didn't ask her why, his black eyes turned slightly, he looked her up and down quietly, and suddenly asked, "Girl's name?" β
The girl replied: "The little girl Fu Dongyi, the daughter of Fu Yuan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites." β
Wang Yan bowed his head, reminiscing about "Fu Yuan......" It seems that there is such a person, but he is not impressed, he is a decent official.
At this time, Princess Xuanwu interjected with a smile: "Mrs. Fu's surname is Zhang, and she is from the Xuanwu royal family, and this girl can be regarded as your cousin." β
Wang Yan smiled and said, "It turned out to be a relative." β
Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Although Miss Fu is youngβonly fifteen years old, she is full of poetry and books, and even your grandfather praises the poems." β
Wang Yan said: "Oh, it won't be the first talented woman in the capital, right?" β
Fu Dongyi's face turned red.
Princess Suzaku smiled: "Although it has not been compared, it is recognized by everyone." β
Everyone laughed.
Li Hanyao looked at Fu Dongyi, and a wonderful feeling welled up in her heart - as if she was meeting an opponent in chess. Except for Wang Yan, in front of same-sex women, she has never felt this way, whether her talent is inferior to hers or higher than hers; Whether it is a friend or an opponent, she can deal with them easily. And this Fu Dongyi made her upset, and it was not just vinegar, but also attention.
