Concubine De sighed: "Just like us." Sister Jia, let me ask you, after entering the palace, can you be happy? The queen shook her head: "Sitting in the well and watching the sky, how happy is it." Ouyang Tong also nodded: "Sitting in the well and watching the sky, that's true." Concubine De smiled: "Sister Jia is from the people, she should be free since she was a child." The queen nodded: "Yes, when I was a child, the entire mountain forest was mine." Concubine De smiled: "You have at least enjoyed freedom, you know how sweet the water in the mountains is, how tall the trees on the mountains are, and how beautiful the birds on the trees are, but Xiao Tong and I have been locked up at home since we were children, learning all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, sewing women, and never had a moment of freedom." "Ouyang Tong was silent, indeed, since he was born, Ouyang Tong only left the mansion when he went to Fengnian Temple to burn incense, and the rest of the time, he studied in the mansion." A wall separates me from the outside world, and they all say that everyone is beautiful, and they can't show their heads, how to abide by the female morality and female training. Concubine De sighed.

"However, my brothers fooled around outside all day long and stayed away from home all day long, but my father never blamed him, saying that men just wanted to go out to make friends and accumulate contacts." Concubine De recalled. "Sister Jia, for us, it's just a wall changing a palace wall, and a small cage has become a big cage." The queen listened and remained silent. Ouyang Tong smiled: "Yes, how sad, women are like canaries in the cage, although they have glory and wealth, they have lost their freedom and heart. Concubine De smiled: "The canary is just for people to enjoy, but when a woman marries into her husband's family, she wants to have children, and if she doesn't give birth to children, it is a crime of unfilial piety." The queen smiled dismally: "Yes, not having children seems to be a big sin, and it seems that heaven does not tolerate it." ”

Ouyang Tong frowned: "Is it true that women are just tools for reproduction?" The queen was also a little helpless: "This is also the question I keep asking myself." At the beginning, the Queen Mother knew that I couldn't have children, and her heart was extremely painful, and she repeatedly proposed to the emperor that she wanted to eradicate the people who attacked me, and there were nine clans, and no one was left. "It seems that the Queen Mother really loves you." Ouyang Tong said with emotion. "Later, when I heard that there were always ministers in the previous dynasty because I had nothing to do for many years, I asked the emperor to set up another queen, and I felt that it seemed to be my fault that I couldn't have children." The Empress recalled. "After that, when I see your children, I will always have some envy in my heart, and I always hope that I can have my own children." The queen said seriously. Concubine De nodded: "I didn't give birth to my own child, Sister Jia must have regrets in her heart." But it's not your fault. Since we can't have children, we enjoy our lives. Now, the queen has two children under her knees, and she can enjoy family fun in the future. ”

The queen looked at Ouyang Tong and looked at Concubine De: "Actually, in my heart, I don't want to have children." It's just that I feel that you all have your own children, and I'm very envious, that's all. Ouyang Tong smiled: "I know Sister Jia's character, and she won't stick to a small child." Concubine De covered her mouth and smiled: "Such a free and easy queen is the queen in my heart." The queen looked at Ouyang Tong's belly and touched her cloth bag again: "When I first entered the palace, the emperor treated me very well, and at that time I thought that this was the man who loved me the most in the world, and I could join hands with him for the rest of my life." However, the hearts of the harem are so complicated, and the emperor's mind is also unpredictable. When I realized that Jun En was unpredictable and everything was just my fantasy, I had already lost my child. From then on, I didn't want to stay in this palace as a queen. ”

"However, as soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out." The queen sighed. "In order to keep me, the emperor took my parents to live in the palace, saying that he was taking care of my parents, but in fact he was also threatening me not to leave without permission. My parents were greedy for glory, and whenever they saw me, they would tell me to stay in the palace. The emperor is also generous, and he is obedient to me, I said that I want to learn martial arts, so he helped me find Miao Yu, and asked Miao Yu to call me to practice martial arts, I can be regarded as having a hope in this palace. Concubine De listened: "The emperor is also sincere to you." The queen smiled: "Really? I can't afford it. Think about it, in the harem, there is only no power behind me, I can't give birth yet, the children of the harem, no matter who ascends the throne, I am the queen mother, so I will definitely be fair about the establishment of an heir. The power of the government will not be left behind by foreign relatives. ”

Concubine De frowned: "It's not unreasonable for you to say that. The queen smiled dismally: "In the end, how can a man in this world have any true feelings." We women are just pawns in their hands. Ouyang Tong also smiled miserably: "In this way, the fate of women in the world is really miserable." Concubine De had tears in her eyes: "I won't tell you that when I was still in the boudoir, I had a man I admired, but I was young at the time, and I just wanted to marry him." However, I am the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and I can't make the decisions about my marriage. Since then, I have been obsessed with poetry and books, and I have found a moment of comfort. Ouyang Tong was a little envious: "I don't know what it's like to love a man." Concubine De whispered: "That is, he eats, sits, and sleeps." All the time, in my mind, it's all him. ”

Ouyang Tong nodded casually: "In this way, I love the two of you." The queen and Concubine De looked at each other and smiled, and the three of them couldn't help laughing. We don't have to complain here, since we have entered the palace and become a woman in this palace, we can enjoy this life. There is a saying: If you come, you will be safe. With you as companions in the palace, it does not seem lonely and lonely. The queen said with a smile. Concubine De and Ouyang Tong both nodded. "Yes, it's great to meet you in the palace." Concubine De also said seriously. Ouyang Tong said seriously: "In ancient times, it was said that mountains and rivers met bosom friends, I'm afraid it's just us." ”

Yes, in the harem, how difficult it is to meet like-minded confidants. "Aunt Yunhai, are they really women in ancient times?" Xiao Xiao listened to the chat of the three people outside the door, a little puzzled. Aunt Yunhai is well, so she still serves Ouyang Tong closely. "It's a formation, it's just an imitation of ancient times. There's nothing wrong with their thoughts. Aunt Yunhai whispered. Xiao Xiao smiled: "Although I have lived for thousands of years, I don't know that women in ancient times lived like this." What's the fun of being stuck in this wall every day? Aunt Yunhai smiled: "That's why there is a palace fight." Xiao Xiao nodded: "When I go back, I will watch all the palace fighting scenes carefully." Aunt Yunhai shook her head: "The palace fighting scenes are all beautified, and most of the harem concubines in ancient times were not good-looking, and they can even be said to be a little ugly." ”

Xiao Xiao was a little puzzled: "Why?" Shouldn't the harem take all the beauties in the world? Aunt Yunhai whispered: "In ancient times, emperors married wives, all of them were political marriages, and they all married women from official eunuchs. In ancient times, there were many close relatives who got married, and how good-looking could the children be born? Xiao Xiao nodded: "Yes." Aunt Yunhai smiled: "Xiao Hitomi is here, she was suffering, but we came and changed the formation, and Xiao Hitomi's fate has also changed." ”

Aunt Yunhai looked around vigilantly: "Therefore, the fate of Xiao Hitomi is already unknown, we must be careful everywhere to prevent any incidents." Xiao Xiao nodded: "I've been here for too long, I've almost forgotten what I'm here for, and I've begun to integrate into life here." Aunt Yunhai said with a smile: "Although the society at this time is feudal, life is very comfortable, and it is normal for you to fall into." Xiao Xiao nodded: "At first, I thought it was cumbersome to wear these clothes, but now I wear them, and I like them very much." Aunt Yunhai looked at the clothes on her body, smiled, and just wanted to say something, as if she sensed something, she looked in one direction. What's wrong? Xiao Xiao saw the strangeness of Aunt Yunhai.
