Chapter 207: Abrupt

After all, during such a Mid-Autumn Festival, as a daughter-in-law, she has to put on a pure filial piety to show outsiders.

So Queen Yu said with a virtuous face: "It's still the queen mother who thinks thoughtfully." ”

The princes and princesses naturally have to come to the elders to say goodbye today, but after asking for peace, the princess and the prince under the age of ten can sit down and have a banquet in the Chonghua Palace, while the princes over the age of ten are more hard, and they have to go to the Yonghua Hall in front of them to pour wine and persuade the courtiers to drink.

Concubine Li was naturally present today, but she just watched her son salute the Empress Dowager Han and Empress Yu, and then she didn't look at her side, and withdrew with the imperial brothers.

She couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, but on such a festive day, in front of the Queen Mother, naturally she couldn't show the slightest unhappiness, so she had to hold on to her spirit and smile to accompany her.

In the Yonghua Hall in front, Ji Shuyu met the eyes of the whole hall as soon as he entered the hall.

There are those who are inquisitive, those who are dissatisfied, those who eat melons and watch the play, and of course, those who appreciate a little.

However, Ji Shuyu didn't care at all, and sat down in the position arranged for her with the attendant who led the way.

The face is as calm as water, not in a hurry, not humble or arrogant, with the appearance and demeanor of a noble eldest princess.

Because of her noble status, her position was directly arranged next to the emperor.

Not long after he sat down, he heard the shrill voice of the chamberlain: "The emperor has arrived." ”

When the courtiers who were sitting and chatting in the east and west heard it, they immediately got up and sorted out their appearance.

The emperor walked in slowly, and as soon as he appeared, the courtiers immediately knelt on the ground and made a great salute.

Only Ji Shuyu only bent his knees slightly.

Even so, the emperor hurriedly took a few steps in front of Ji Shuyu, stretched out his hand and said, "You are the eldest sister of the emperor, you don't need to be polite." ”

"Your Majesty."

Ji Shuyu smiled slightly, glanced at her mother's brother, and straightened up.

Then the emperor turned around and said to the courtiers: "Today is a festival banquet, there is no need to be formal, all the Aiqing should get up and take their seats." ”

When the courtiers heard this, they thanked them meticulously, and then they got up and stood quietly.

The Emperor smiled slightly, took his seat first, and then waved his hand casually, and the courtiers sat down in their respective places that had been arranged early in the morning.

Because it was a festival, music and dancing were arranged, and the atmosphere in the hall was very lively.

It's just that at such a banquet, the courtiers can't eat enough, so they can only take care of their faces and eat a few bites at will.

Ji Shuyu grew up in the palace since he was a child, so he naturally knew the rules of this kind of banquet, and he used a few pieces of dim sum when he went out, so he would not starve at this time.

I just listened to the sound of silk and bamboo wind music with great interest, and from time to time I bowed down to the emperor and said a few words of homely things.

Although they are siblings of the same mother, they haven't sat together and talked like this for several years, so both of them are in a very good mood.

But such a scene, in the eyes of the courtiers, inevitably pondered in their hearts.

After the song and dance were finished, the emperor also chatted with the courtiers.

I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, the emperor actually said casually: "In the past, only men studied and ran schools, and now there is also my eldest sister who opened a mansion to teach, which can be said to be an unprecedented precedent. ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yuanshan's face suddenly changed, and all the courtiers also put down their chopsticks, looked at the emperor, then looked at Gu Yuanshan, and then looked at Ji Shuyu.

It is important to know that men have been inferior to women for thousands of years, especially these scholars who have entered the office, are the most taboo to be compared with women.

Therefore, for a while, even the princes who held the pot to persuade wine were stunned, and looked at each other on the ground with the wine pot.

They all seemed to be a little puzzled by how their father, who had always been dignified and dignified, spoke so abruptly today.

Ji Shuyu glanced at the emperor and raised his eyebrows, but he only smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

However, Gu Yuanshan's face suddenly turned red, he was originally a slightly stubborn and scholarly literati, and the emperor put him and Ji Shuyu at the same height in front of all the courtiers, even if the other party was the most noble eldest princess in the entire Dayin, who had only become famous in the world twenty years ago, but this still made him feel very embarrassed and even a little annoyed.

It's just that this is what the emperor said after all, as a courtier, even if he is angry, he doesn't dare to refute it directly, otherwise it will be disrespectful, not to mention that the official position is difficult to protect, and he is seriously afraid that he will lose his head and even affect his family.

The emperor had just said that, and then he took the wine glass and drank it all, and as soon as he put the wine glass down, he urged the chamberlain to pour the wine, as if the subtle and awkward atmosphere in the palace had nothing to do with him at all.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Yuanshan gritted his teeth, stood up and said, "The emperor is afraid that he has drunk too much, please take care of the dragon body, don't drink again." The emperor's wine talk is a little funny, since ancient times, the sage said, men are inferior to women, men are the sky, women are the earth, women should live in the back house, take care of the house, husband and children, originally knew a few words, it is enough to be able to take care of housework, in addition, it is in vain to learn more, no matter what, it is impossible to compare with men. ”

A few courtiers who had a good relationship with Gu Yuanshu were still sweating for him, for fear that his scholar would be angry and collide with the holy driver, and at this time, seeing that he was talking about the emperor on the grounds that he had drunk too much wine and said drunken words, he secretly admired him a little more while relieving his heart.

is worthy of a person with a full stomach, and this reaction is fast.

Just didn't wait for the emperor to speak, Ji Shuyu said first: "Lord Gu's words are wrong, for thousands of years, women have been trapped in the back house, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to show their talents, so everyone in the world says that women are inherently inferior to men, but now with me as the beginning, I will open a world for women to study, and in time, my female students may not necessarily be worse than the students of your country." ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers present, and even several princes, couldn't help but gasp, this is really too big to say.

Only Ji Anchen understood what Ji Shuyu meant, others didn't know, but he couldn't be clearer.

Studying with Yu Wanning from time to time, Ji Anchen knows very well what the level of Yu Wanning and Ye Xinmei is, and the eight girls who were newly admitted this year are also selected from the best, although they are not as good as Yu Wanning and Ye Xinmei, and there is also a gap with Ji Shuyu back then, but in terms of the level of schoolwork, he really has the strength to fight with the students of Guozijian, and compared to the outside academy, it is slightly better.
