Chapter Forty-Eight: The Queen's Charisma
An Yuelian analyzed to her daughter, first of all, the most important thing in the palace is empathetic, demure and docile women, if Ye Tongying also learns like this, it will be unknown to everyone, and according to Ye Tongying's temperament, it will be difficult for her to maintain this style of interpreting flowers for a long time.
Secondly, Chen Youcong was named the crown prince at the age of six, and his master was the most talented bachelor in Dayan, and he was influenced by poetry and books since he was a child. Although Ye Tongying is from a scholarly family, she doesn't like to read by nature, her knowledge is not outstanding, and she is easy to show her timidity when she sells off her talents with the prince, so she can't take the route of a talented woman.
Again, Chen Youcong was secretly raised in Anle Hall when he was a child, and when he left Anle Hall, his mother died again, and he grew up with the Queen Mother, and was raised to be gentle and polite, but he was a little rigid. Seeing that he always teases Ye Tongying's cat, you know that he needs something to have fun with. Therefore, to capture his heart, you must make him cute and interesting. And this style is also closer to Ye Tongying's personality, as long as she doesn't expose her fierce and domineering side.
For example, two months ago, Ye Tongying's cat scratched Chen Youcong's hand, and after Ye Tongying came home, she said that she didn't want these two cats anymore, and asked someone to strangle and bury them. However, in the face of Chen Youcong, it must not be said that the two cats were disposed of by Ye Tongying. It can only be said that because the cat hurt the prince, her parents disposed of her beloved cat. In this way, the prince will not only not feel that she is ruthless, but will also feel guilty about her.
The prince likes pets, so this time he will bring a milk dog into the palace, in addition to accompanying the prince to tease the dog, juju, garden, singing and dancing, are all good ways to tease the prince's pastime.
In short, in front of the prince, you can't show the slightest ferocity, don't punish the maid at every turn, don't pinch the tip to be strong, but behave as innocently as you want, and as sweet as you want.
Therefore, when Ye Tongying entered the palace this time, she brought a milk dog in. She first told Chen Youcong aggrievedly that her cat died because of him, and then let Chen Youcong see the cuteness of the puppy.
I have to say that An Yuelian is jealous with several concubines at home all day long, and after long-term tempering, she still has some insight into how to win over men.
Chen Youcong is really friendly to the puppy, and even to Ye Tongying is a lot kinder. Ye Tongying saw that the prince looked gentle and amiable, and was so patient with his puppy, and felt sweet and proud in his heart. This is the prince of a country, how many women in the world are blessed to get the prince's blue eyes.
Ye Tongying took the opportunity to beg coquettishly: "This puppy doesn't have a name yet." Can you bother the prince to give it a name? That way, no one will dare to bully it in the future! ”
Before Chen Youcong could answer, Princess Renhe, who had just been concentrating on the side, suddenly saw the puppy in Chen Youcong's arms, put down the small bowl in his hand and walked towards Chen Youcong.
"Brother Prince, can you show me the puppy?" Princess Renhe's eyes sparkled.
When Princess Deqing saw it, she also followed her sister over, and she didn't speak very clearly and followed the chant: "Xiaodou! Xiao Dou! ”
Ye Tongying saw that she was getting better, but she was interrupted by the two little princesses, and she couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed in her heart, but she still showed a sweet smile on her face.
Chen Youcong half-squatted and half-knelt on the ground, showed the puppy in his arms to Renhe, and said: "Look, you have to touch its head and its back so gently, don't pull it hard, otherwise it will hurt." ”
Princess Ren and Princess Yiyan gently touched the puppy's head and neck, and the puppy half-squinted his eyes in enjoyment. This look was so funny that the princess giggled, and Princess Deqing laughed when she saw her sister laughing.
"Can I hug it?" Princess Renhe asked again.
"This is Miss Ye's dog." Chen Youcong looked at Ye Tongying.
Ye Tongying hurriedly said, "Of course you can." ”
Princess Renhe carefully held the puppy, and Princess Deqing also gently touched the puppy's ears with her fleshy little hands next to her, and the two girls chattered and laughed.
Ye Tongying saw that the puppy occupied the attention of the two princesses, Chen Youcong stood next to him and looked at it with a smile, so she looked at the prince with clear beautiful eyes, and wanted to open her mouth to speak, but suddenly heard Chen Youcong open her mouth and ask Renhe Princess:
"Who made the puppet you played with over there just now?"
"It was given to me by Ah Zhao."
"Zhao?" The prince reacted immediately after a pause. Ah Zhao is referring to Zhang Weizhao.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, who is Ah Zhao?" Ye Tongying asked. How could she never have heard of a palace maid named Ah Zhao by the princess or the crown prince's side?
"It's the doctor in the Imperial Grandmother's Palace. She said the doll was made in the shape of an English princess! When the princess grows up, she becomes a queen. "Although Princess Renhe is only four years old, she is naturally articulate and knows everything very clearly." Ah Zhao's puppet to Deqing is a Spanish princess. When she grows up, she will also be the queen of Spain. ”
"Ah Zhao, say that the princess is powerful......" Princess Deqing also shouted beside her. It seems that Princess Deqing is also very familiar with Zhang Weizhao.
Chen Youcong knew that Princess Renhe had been rescued by Zhang Weizhao since Qixi Festival, so she began to go to the backyard of Changle Palace to play with Zhang Weizhao. But he didn't know that the princess would be so familiar with Zhang Weizhao, it seems that when he went to Wenhua Hall to study during the day, Renhe took Deqing to the backyard of Changle Palace.
Of course, Ye Tongying remembered who the doctor in the Empress Dowager's palace was. Last time, Ye Tongying gave Jen and Princess Hazelnut to eat, and the kernel was stuck in her throat when the princess laughed. This incident made Ye Tongying suffer a lot of grievances at that time, she had already made amends, and the Queen Mother made her kneel on the ground for a long time. She felt very uncomfortable, but fortunately she remembered her mother's words, she had to smile sweetly in the palace, her posture was generous, and she couldn't bring grievances on her face, so she kept tense until the Queen Mother no longer embarrassed her.
Fortunately, that Taoist doctor has some ability, and Renhe will be fine later, otherwise he may really be disgusted by the prince in the future.
In fact, she is also young, ignorant and fearless, if Princess Renhe really has any risks, she is afraid that it will not be as simple as being disliked.
The Taoist doctor was also very showy because of this incident. Ye Tongying has always hated other women pressing her, but she still looks at Zhang Weizhao. First, it was because Zhang Weizhao came to Renhe's rescue, which saved Ye Tongying from possible trouble, and more importantly, Zhang Weizhao really didn't seem to have any shyness and flattery. Not to mention being shy and flattering, she doesn't even have the shyness and introvert of ordinary women, not only does she wear men's clothes, but she also behaves more generously than men. From Ye Tongying's eyes, she was simply without style, and she was blind to the face that looked delicate.
Therefore, the last time Zhang Weizhao taught Hai's first aid method in public, Ye Tongying volunteered to help Zhang Weizhao demonstrate. She also wants to learn this way of saving people, and she thinks it is a beautiful thing to be able to save people at a critical moment.
And this time, when Ren and Princess Ren mentioned the name Ah Zhao, and Chen Youcong also showed a lot of interest, Ye Tongying was very vigilant for a moment, I don't know what kind of woman Ah Zhao is? Can you please the prince and princess? Later, she knew that Ah Zhao was the Taoist doctor, and she put her heart back in her stomach instead.
After relaxing, she began to develop curiosity and asked, "What kind of princess is Princess English?" How can you still be a queen? She only knew that since ancient times, only the prince would be crowned king when he grew up, and she had never heard that a princess could be crowned a king.
"The English princess is the daughter of the King of England, she is very powerful, she has grown up to be the most amazing queen. Don't believe you, ask Ah Zhao! Princess Renhe said.
Little girls instinctively worship powerful women.
When Zhang Weizhao was still studying, there was an animated movie "Frozen" that swept the world, and the protagonist was the powerful princess Aisha. Aisha is very different from the princesses in the fairy tales of the past, she is not a beautiful and docile weak woman waiting for the prince to redeem her, but she has a firm personality, has the ability to mobilize ice and snow, and can govern a country independently.
In Europe and North America, Aisha became an idol for girls in a short period of time. Because of these places, a lot of introspection and changes have been made about the concept of women as weakness, and they have begun to pay attention to the development of women's own strength, so from kindergarten girls to adult women in their forties and fifties, Aisha's recognition is very high.
In China, although "Frozen" is also all the rage, it is far less popular among adult women than in North America and Europe, but it is very, very popular among kindergarten and elementary school girls.
Once Zhang Weizhao participated in a survey and asked the children who their favorite animated movie characters were in a kindergarten, at that time, "Frozen" had just been released for about a year, and about 80% of the girls said that their favorite character was Aisha. Q: Why do you like it? The little girls replied because Aisha was very powerful.
Zhang Weizhao feels that in China, the reason for this situation is that little girls have not yet been completely assimilated by the mindset that men are inferior to women, men are strong and women are weak, and they will instinctively respect powerful women.
And once they reach puberty, the collective concept requires girls to behave beautifully and weakly, so that they can be recognized by society and liked by the opposite sex. Therefore, many young and adult women have accepted the standard of beauty for girls, and do not have much interest in strong women like Aisha.
The little girl will express her identification with powerful women more directly, and Zhang Weizhao has once again been verified in Princess Renhe and Princess Deqing.
She designed two sets of dolls, one was the English princess and the Spanish princess, and told Renhe and Deqing that these two princesses would be queens in the future. The other group is Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, telling the two little girls that they will be saved by the prince in the future. Not surprisingly, Princess Renhe and Princess Deqing both chose the group of puppets that could be queens in the future as pets.
