After the Duanyang Festival, the Queen Mother began to urge Emperor Yonghui to set up a women's school.

The temple became busy overnight, first repairing the courtyard of the girls' school. On a whim, the Queen Mother asked the Shang Palace Bureau to make school uniforms for the children of the nobles who were about to enter school, according to the school uniforms of the Guozijian. In addition, there are all kinds of subjects that you will study on weekdays, the female gentlemen who teach, and when you will start your studies.

The Queen Mother pulled the eldest princess of Wanchun, the queen, Li Guifei and others to do it. Naturally, Yang Qiqi will often be announced into the palace for questioning.

Early in the morning of this day, another decree was passed in the palace, inviting Yang Qiqi and Yang Qinghuan to enter the palace.

Mrs. Li got the will and came to Shuying Building early in the morning to help Yang Qiqi get ready.

Yang Qiqi picked out a water-blue high-waisted skirt today, and it was cool to look at. When Mrs. Li entered, she was sitting in front of the mahogany dressing table to select jade.

Hearing Mrs. Li's voice, she hurriedly got up to greet her.

Mrs. Li entered the door and saw Yang Qiqi standing there pretty, her fair and clear skin was bright and transparent. A pair of big eyes, the water is very bright. She suddenly remembered Wen Yan in her heart, and suddenly felt bored. But despite this, she still had a smile on her face, stepped forward and put her arm around Yang Qiqi's shoulder, and said, "My daughter is really more and more beautiful." When I enter the palace today, why don't you pick a festive dress to wear? The Queen Mother was also happy when she saw it. ”

Yang Qiqi was also tired of her pretending affection, but he was willing to accompany her to sing this scene to the end. Immediately affectionate and docile said: "My daughter looks at those festive colors, and she feels hot, and this dress looks cool, so I picked this one." Does my mother feel bad? I'll just change it again! ”

Mrs. Li hurriedly smiled and said, "Your hair and accessories have been selected with your clothes, and if you toss it again, I am afraid that you will miss the time to enter the palace." That's good too. ”

Yang Qiqi pulled Mrs. Li, pointed to the dressing table and said, "Mother help me pick one, I look very good, I don't know which one to match." ”

Mrs. Li looked at it, picked up the nearest jade with a dragonfly falling orchid pattern, and said with a smile: "You have embroidered orchids on your clothes, and this is just the right time." ”

Yang Qiqi smiled slightly, and immediately let people match the jade bi that Mrs. Li personally selected for her. At this time, the maidservant girl next to Yang Qinghuan came to invite her, saying that Yang Qinghuan had left the house and was waiting in the carriage.

Mrs. Li carefully helped Yang Qiqi tidy up, and sent her out with a smile, and said, "If you get the opportunity next time, you will also take your third sister for a walk." She's going to be suffocated at home all day. The meaning of Mrs. Li's words is to let Yang Qiqi find an opportunity to introduce Yang Yuyan in front of the Queen Mother, so that Yang Yuyan can also have the opportunity to walk around the Queen Mother like her and Yang Qinghuan.

Yang Qiqi nodded busily and went out of the second door with the color screen.

She and Yang Qinghuan entered the palace several times, and they spent a lot more time talking together, so they naturally became familiar with each other quickly.

In her previous life, Yang Qiqi didn't have much contact with her, and in the years in Yang's Mansion, the words she said added up to less than a hundred.

Yang Qinghuan has been sluggish since he was a child and was raised by the lord of Pingyang. Compared with the other sisters of the Yang family, she is more precocious, she is very generous and quiet, methodical and reasonable, and she is a very delicate and clear shrewd person. Although he is always polite to others, he is a master who does not rub sand in his eyes. Compared with the delicate and charming girls in the second and third rooms, she has a unique personality and is very independent and self-reliant.

I think that Emperor Yonghui's favorite daughter-in-law was the Nine Emperor Princesses, and she once praised her in person at the family banquet.

After Yang Qiqi got married, he actually admired this fifth sister very much. Compared with Yang Qinghuan's being liked by her in-laws and respected by her husband, her life is a mess. At that time, she had found an opportunity to visit Yang Qinghuan in the Nine Kings' Mansion and wanted to ask for some advice, but when she saw Yang Qinghuan, she felt that she couldn't speak, and she was about to get up and say goodbye after saying a lot of greetings.

Yang Qinghuan intelligently sensed Yang Qiqi's unhappiness from a few words, and she still remembers what Yang Qinghuan said to her when she said goodbye.

She said: "Seventh sister, I didn't have a child, although it is also difficult, but it may not be impossible to solve. When the concubine gives birth to a child, you can go to the mother and keep the child, it doesn't matter. No matter how much you honor your in-laws and please your husband, you must remember that your dignity as a wife can never be lost. ”

At that time, she felt that although Yang Qinghuan was always a little detached and polite, she was a very gentle person at heart. She is really telling herself how to survive in her husband's family.

It's just that Yang Qiqi didn't figure out how to keep his dignity as a wife until he died. Or since she replaced Yang Yuyan to marry the Zhang family, she has no dignity as a wife at all.

Yang Qinghuan saw Yang Qiqi looking at himself thoughtfully, and seemed to be staring at the car curtain behind him, and couldn't help laughing: "Seventh sister, what are you thinking?" ”

Yang Qiqi hurriedly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm wondering, I don't know if this female school will be done." ”

"Naturally, it will be done," Yang Qinghuan smiled as a matter of course: "I have been by the side of the Queen Mother for so long, and I have never seen anything that the Queen Mother can't do!" Besides, who wouldn't be happy to see such a good thing as a girls' school come to fruition? ”

Yang Qiqi looked at Yang Qinghuan's excited appearance, and asked with a smile: "Fifth sister seems to like the Queen Mother's arrangement very much." ”

Yang Qinghuan nodded again and again, "On weekdays, I see that our brothers can go to school, and I am also very envious." It's just that our Dayan women can't be scientific exams to be officials, if we can, we may not be worse than those men! ”

Yang Qiqi smiled, and finally understood the reason why Yang Qinghuan was liked by the Queen Mother, not only because she was the Queen Mother's niece and granddaughter.

Yang Qinghuan saw her smiling and silent, and couldn't help but say seriously: "I know that in the former Qin, there was a Xiliang women's country on the border. There, women, like men, studied and became officials. There is such an old precedent in the first dynasty, and maybe we can gradually have such a situation. ”

Whether there will be such a situation in the future, Yang Qiqi doesn't know. But before she died, that wasn't the case at all. However, the two sisters are rare like-minded, and Yang Qiqi has also studied the history of the Xiliang Women's Country for a period of time, so he chatted with Yang Qinghuan.

It wasn't until they entered the palace gate and got out of the carriage that the sisters continued to discuss the official positions of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom, and they didn't stop until they entered the Huacheng Academy.

The eldest princess of Tong'an is leaning on the railing of the verandah at the moment, and the water-red immortal skirt embroidered with the mountain and water passionflower is scattered on the railing, and her expression is very leisurely and casual. Seeing that the two of them had arrived, they hurriedly stepped forward, "Why are you here?" My aunt has been here for a long time, and she has been waiting for a long time. ”

Yang Qiqi and Yang Qinghuan hurriedly followed Princess Tong'an into the main hall.

The Queen Mother and the eldest princess Wanchun were sitting and talking, and when they saw the three little girls stepping on the sunlight thrown in by the door, their eyes suddenly lit up.

The three girls are all young age, Yang Qiqi wears a high-waisted skirt with aqua blue embroidered butterfly You Jinglan, Yang Qinghuan wears a half-arm skirt with cyan embroidered bamboo text, and Princess Tong'an wears a half-arm skirt with a water-red embroidered begonia magnolia group. The three have different temperaments and postures. Yang Qiqi is as elegant as a snow lotus, Yang Qinghuan is delicate and delicate like a begonia, and Princess Tong'an is graceful like a peony, which really has its own merits.

The eldest princess of Wanchun couldn't help but smile and said: "No wonder the queen mother always likes to call these little girls in front of her all day long, such a good-looking girl, she is happy when she looks at it every day." ”

These words made the faces of the three of them red, and Princess An Chang said in a loud voice: "The imperial sister-in-law and Concubine Li Guifei have not arrived, can we wait?" ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand and asked the female officials of the Shangfu Bureau and the Shanggong Bureau to present the style of the women's school uniforms.

Princess Tong'an was very excited to urge people to go quickly, and it was rare to say a few more words to Yang Qiqi.

Yang Qiqi smiled and asked her quietly: "The eldest princess didn't like it before, why is she so interested now?" ”

Princess Tong'an smiled and said, "I have to go to school every day now, and if I run a women's school, there will be many people my age, it's interesting to think about it." Mainly," she lowered her voice, approached Yang Qiqi and said: "The princes in the palace who are the same age as me have all opened their teeth and built a mansion, princesses, they are all my juniors, and it is not interesting to play together." ”

Yang Qiqi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that it was for fun.

Not long after, several female officials from the Shangfu Bureau and the Shanggong Bureau arrived at the Huachengyuan and presented the patterns they had drawn in the past few days. Among them, there are several things that are worn for reading, and several things that are worn for horseback riding. Although the style looks decent, it is also very delicate and attentive. Among them, there is a Hu suit worn by Yang Qiqi when he first returned to Chang'an.

Princess Tong'an looked familiar, and said curiously: "Isn't this the clothes Yang Qiqi wore when he first returned to Chang'an?" ”

The eldest princess of Wanchun replied with a smile: "You can see it accurately, isn't it the same." I saw that this girl in Hufu was also convenient for riding a horse, and she looked magnificent, which was very suitable, so I asked people to send a copy to the Shangfu Bureau. ”

Yang Qinghuan said excitedly: "I went back and made two pieces, and I didn't drag it when I went out, which was very comfortable and convenient." ”

As a few people spoke, they settled on the school uniforms for reading at four o'clock and riding horses. The colors are cherry pink, ice blue, azure, and begonia red, and the pattern is the auspicious pattern such as passionflower and treasure phase flower commonly used by girls, otherwise it is the pattern of plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum.

After these discussions, it was time for lunch, and the two were naturally left by the Queen Mother to eat.

After lunch, the Ninth Emperor, the Tenth Prince, the Eleventh Prince, the Twelfth Prince, and the Thirteenth Prince got out of school and came together to greet the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile when she saw that people were coming so well: "Why are you brothers all here today?" ”

The tenth prince smiled and glanced at Murong Xi, "The thirteenth brother heard that the fifth and seventh girls of the Yang family came to discuss the matter of female studies with the imperial grandmother, so they asked us to come and see the excitement together." ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh and teased her grandsons: "What does the female school have to do with you!" ”

Murong Xi glared at the Ten Princes and interrupted: "What has the Imperial Grandmother discussed today, and the grandchildren will also make fun of it for you!" ”

Princess Tong'an said: "We ordered school uniforms and accessories today. ”

Murong Xi thought for a while and said curiously: "What color is it, and what are the patterns on it?" ”

"Cherry pink, ice blue, azure, and begonia red. There are also a lot of tricks, so you might as well go to the Shangfu Bureau for a while and take a look. Princess Tong'an replied to his words.

Murong Xi looked at Yang Qiqi's quiet appearance near the water, and said with a smile: "Is it the blue that the seventh cousin wears?" ”

Without waiting for Yang Qiqi to reply, Princess Tongan quickly replied: "It's almost." ”

Speaking of school uniforms and accessories, Murong Xi stared at Yang Qiqi for a long time, and couldn't help blurting out asking her, "Seventh cousin, why didn't you bring the jade of Hetian jade that I gave you?" I asked my grandmother for it last year, and the water head is much better than the one you are carrying now! ”

Yang Qiqi's heart jumped slightly, thinking that if he wanted to return his private property, the time to pit the Li family had finally arrived.
