Chapter 817: The Eldest Princess of the Ning Kingdom
When Du Jinning saw the eunuch in the palace brought by Yao Shuqi, she found that her eyes were born and asked if it was the eunuch next to Empress Dowager Zheng, she relieved herself and said, "Wait a minute." ”
As she spoke, she went back to her room and changed into a moon-white dress with wide robes and wide sleeves, which was only embroidered with some dark purple flowers on the cuffs and placket, and the style was simple but not too simple.
Her identity as a woman has been made public, and it is not good to wear men's clothes when she goes to see the Queen Mother. Although this dress is women's clothing, it has a wide robe and wide sleeves, which has a bit of the freedom and casualness of men's clothing, which is most suitable for her current identity transition.
She didn't comb her complicated hair on her head, she just simply put it in a bun and fixed it with the hairpin that Qi Muyuan gave her.
Ke Rao is such a simple outfit, because she didn't use makeup to change her slightly picky phoenix eyes as before, Ren Sui eyebrows and eyes were all stretched, and she didn't bind her chest, as soon as she walked out, Du Fangling and Aoki were still stunned.
"You, why are you ......" Du Fangling pointed at Du Jinning and stammered, as if she didn't know Du Jinning.
Du Jinning said with a smile: "I usually wear men's clothes for fear of being too feminine, so I wear makeup." Now it's what it is. ”
As she spoke, she looked at Aoki, and always felt that it seemed a little inappropriate for her to dress up as a woman and bring a small servant by her side, so she casually ordered a maid named Peony from Du Fangling and said, "You and Aoki will enter the palace with me." ”
Peony was stunned when he came to see Du Jinning, but this time he was suddenly pointed, frightened, pointed to his nose and said, "Slave, slave?" ”
"Yes." Du Jinning turned around and walked out, "Let's go, don't let the people in the palace wait for a long time." ”
went out to the outer courtyard hall, met with the eunuch and Yao Shuqi, and the group went to the palace.
Zhao Mingyue got married half a year ago and married Xiao Ergongzi. Hearing that Empress Dowager Zheng announced that Du Jinning would meet, she hurried back, and happened to meet Du Jinning who was getting off the carriage at the gate of the palace.
"Are you...... Du Jinning? Her eyes widened, and her reaction was the same as Du Fangling's.
The main reason is that Du Jinning wears women's clothes, whether it is in appearance or temperament, and it is a little different from when wearing men's clothes. Du Jinning in men's clothing is as cold as the bright moon, and Du Jinning in women's clothing is the red glow on the horizon, gorgeous and charming. If you don't know the truth, when you see her two identities in two places at first glance, others will definitely think that the two are brother and sister, not the same person.
"Your Highness the Princess." Du Jinning smiled and saluted her, "It's Du Jinning down there." ”
Seeing that she was doing a men's ceremony, her movements were still as chic and free as usual, and she looked full of grace, Zhao Mingyue remembered that she had made a mistake with her heart, and she was suddenly angry.
"Why don't you be taken captive to be the lady of the village?" She glared.
Du Jinning laughed, and his smile almost dazzled Zhao Mingyue's eyes: "I was kidnapped, but the king of the mountain thought I was too ugly and let me go again." ”
"Hmph, full of nonsense." Zhao Mingyue glanced at her, raised her feet and walked inside.
Du Jinning also walked in.
"You...... You okay? Zhao Mingyue remembered that Du Jinning had been taken away for so long, and she had suffered a lot when she thought about it, but she couldn't bear it, so she turned around and asked.
"Luckily, they didn't make it difficult for me." Du Jinning smiled, "Thank you princess for your concern." ”
"Who cares about you?" Zhao Mingyue pursed her lips and asked again, "What are your plans for in the future?" Still going to research high-yielding rice? ”
"Everything is at the emperor's orders." Du Jinning said.
Zhao Mingyue stopped talking.
After a long time, she sighed: "We women, even if we are talented, we can't display our talents." ”
"Actually, the princess can change all that." Du Jinning said leisurely.
When Zhao Mingyue heard this, she stopped and asked expectantly, "How to change?" ”
"Running a girls' school." Du Jinning said, "The imperial examination system has changed the pattern of the entire country's employment of officials, allowing the children of ordinary people to gain knowledge, broaden their horizons, and change their destiny by reading." Women are also allowed. ”
She smiled, "I'm an example. If I hadn't dressed as a man and hadn't had the opportunity to study, I would have married a country man and been a stupid country woman, and how could I stand here and talk to the princess. ”
Zhao Mingyue's eyes slowly lit up.
After thinking about it, she hesitated: "However, those officials in the court will definitely stop it." ”
"Don't say it's for women, but for the sake of society. When women are educated in literacy and have knowledge, they are naturally better able to educate their children well. The child of an ignorant woman is naturally not the same as the child of a literate and reasonable woman. The whole society is a high-quality mother, so how good will the next generation of the whole country be? Will the Great Song Dynasty be richer and more prosperous than other countries? ”
Zhao Mingyue turned her head, her eyes shining as bright as stars.
"You...... How the hell did you come up with this? She exclaimed.
Immediately, she was a little frustrated: "It's the same woman, why is the gap between people so big?" ”
She looked at Du Jinning and asked curiously, "Can reading those Four Books and Five Classics really make people so smart?" ”
Du Jinning shrugged his shoulders: "It's definitely okay to be smarter." But if you want to be as smart as me, don't think about it. ”
Zhao Mingyue was defeated by her shamelessness, and gave her a blank look: "You can't be modest." ”
"To be modest is to be hypocritical. I'm sincere. Du Jinning said with a grin.
While speaking, the two of them had already walked to Ningshou Palace.
Empress Dowager Zheng watched her daughter walk in with a woman, the woman was tall, outstanding, and had a free and confident temperament between her actions, and she knew that this was Du Jinning.
Thinking that her daughter wanted to marry this pseudo-man in the first place, Du Jinning also kissed Qi Muyuan in front of Zhao Mingyue to show that she was a broken sleeve, and Empress Dowager Zheng's mood was very complicated.
"Du Jinning, a folk girl, meet the Queen Mother." Du Jinning entered the hall and saluted the Empress Dowager Zheng.
"Let's be flat." Empress Dowager Zheng put away all the thoughts in her heart, and said to Du Jinning with a smile, "As a woman, you can research high-yield rice, which is very remarkable. The mourning family likes smart and capable children, and wants to accept you as a righteous daughter, what do you think? ”
These are all conditions negotiated by Qi Bokun's gang, and Du Jinning naturally will not refuse, so he immediately kowtows and thanks.
Empress Dowager Zheng asked her to help her up and looked at Zhao Mingyue: "You were born in the same year, Mingyue is the birthday in March, Jinning is the first month, and Mingyue will call Jinning as her sister in the future." ”
Zhao Mingyue looked at Du Jinning with a complicated face, and called softly: "Sister." ”
When Du Jinning came out of Ningshou Palace and returned to Du's house, Zhao Yu's holy decree also arrived, and Xuanyin Empress Dowager Zheng accepted Du Jinning as her righteous daughter, and specially named Du Jinning as the eldest princess of Ningguo, and ate ten thousand households.
As soon as the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar.
