The wind howled outside the temple, and the iron-colored clouds grew thicker and thicker, obscuring the light from the windows that shone into the temple.

Lady Ye came in with the maids carrying lanterns, and the lights re-illuminated the hall.

The faint light reflected on the faces of the maids, like silent souls in the dark hall.

They lined up in two rows, dispelled the depths of the hall with the lamps in their hands, and awakened the lamps with new fires.

Looking at them, Zhao Mingyin seemed to see countless people.

The faces of those people, as if they had flashed by the lamplight, seemed to be illuminated, but only for a short moment.

People in the world study calligraphy articles, always love to find its roots, belong to its genre, and must be called "eight families", "four families", "a certain school", "a certain body", as if the sky is full of stars, reflecting each other, women from ancient times to the present, left in the light, are a lonely face shining under the lamp.

It seems that those lights are all accidents of the historians, and they are blessed by God.

After Emperor Wu, the empress was eradicated, after Yi'an, Xiting was twilight.

The women who happened to get a glimmer of light had no way to come, and they also had nowhere to go, they were one after another, resounding alone in the sky, but it was difficult to alarm another goose that also wanted to hit the sky.

So he spoke alone, and died alone.

Perhaps, there is, but the men who write the history books will not write it down.

What they write down is "accident", and it is "inevitable" to use accident to prove that a woman is immersed in darkness.

"Your Majesty, you're right. It is already a blessing for these women to be able to use it for Your Majesty." Princess Yueqing lowered her eyes, raised her eyes little by little, with a slight smile on her face, "I thought that His Majesty had built an unprecedented palace with such fanfare, and he wanted to take the school female show to select female officials, so that he could select some amazing talents from them, and use the body of a woman to deter those noisy and corrupt people, and today I realized that I was wrong before."

The princess, who was no longer young, finally looked directly at the young king, who was a generation younger than her:

"Your Majesty's Wen Tao Wu strategy is nothing more than that, even though it has a recklessness that is very different from that of its ancestors, it does not really have the courage to open up a precedent for all generations."

After speaking, she smiled and lowered her eyes again:

"That's right, Your Majesty seems to have the spirit of the Taizu, and it is worse after all, otherwise, like the Queen Mother, she said at the funeral of the first emperor that Your Majesty was not in the right position, how could she not be punished and rewarded?"

Shen Shiqing raised her eyebrows slightly.

My heart suddenly became clear.

So that's the case, no wonder Princess Yueqing has a lot of complaints about the Queen Mother, no wonder the Queen Mother can be so domineering.

After the death of Prince Duansheng, Zhao Surui was the only person who could inherit the throne, but the Queen Mother never put him in her eyes, and she was afraid that Zhao Surui was the culprit who killed Zhao Suqian.

Zhao Surui, he's really ......

If he was really here at this time, I was afraid that his heart would be punctured, right? Zhao Mingyin is really worthy of the Zhao family, even if he is poked in the sore spot by the "emperor" himself, he will immediately fight back, and he would rather expose His Majesty's sore spot on the spot than bear it, and he will hurt more than 1,000 enemies if he loses 800 himself.

It's a pity that she is Shen Shiqing, so she is not such a bad mother. ….

Not only will it not be stung, but he even wants to laugh at Zhao Surui's jokes.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, letting the lukewarm tea moisten her throat, she put the teacup back in place with one hand, looking at the hall illuminated by the lamp:

"The emperor's aunt's words are wrong, I have only been on the throne for seven years, and I have already defeated the two northwestern departments, and my great military achievements are comparable to those of my ancestors, and I have made great efforts to make the Taifu Temple accountable for the past dynasties, and I really don't need to use anything to prove my courage. I just wanted to give those women a chance to walk in front of me on a whim, but unfortunately, Zhang and the others were more careful, but they were not as good as the old officials, if it weren't for the fact that the Metropolitan Procuratorate took the lead in pretending to be dead in the matter of checking the accounts, and the household department was suspected of covering up each other, and I wanted to find something to do for the queen, I really couldn't think of those female officials."

Zhao Mingyin stood quietly under the words "Qiankun is boiling to rest here", and heard "Zhao Surui" say in an extremely contemptuous tone:

"It's a pity, it's an embarrassing task after all. It is also a blessing that they have cultivated for generations."

There is a cold pond in the princess's house, and the rich and noble people who like to raise lotus koi in the pond are different, Zhao Mingyin let people only put some fish fry and aquatic plants in the pool, and introduced the crane to the garden to stay, the sound of the murmuring crane in the garden, after a long time, some people call the princess's mansion "Fengqing Garden", and obtain the sentence of "Female Crown" of Mao Xizhen of the fifth generation, "Caixia is deep, fragrant and warm and smoked warbler language, and the wind is clear and leads to the crane sound".

Sometimes, Zhao Mingyin stands by the pool, feeling that he is also the cold pool, clear and cold, empty, reflecting the sunny or cloudy sky, just waiting for the day when it completely dries up.

After listening to the words of "Zhao Surui", she felt that there was something restless in the depths of the cold pool.

"Your Majesty, you already know that the female officials are useless before you can really get down to business?"

"Women? They had already been tamed by the word deference, and they didn't know who to cut when I put the knife in front of them...... The Manchu Dynasty was ambitious in civil and military affairs, and flesh and blood flew between the dumps, how could those women do it? I'm afraid they'll be scared to cry as soon as they touch the edge."

"Zhao Surui" was still disdainful, and shook his head as he spoke.

"Imperial Aunt, don't mention these disappointing things again, in a few days on the winter solstice, I plan to invite Imperial Aunt ......."

"Your Majesty."

The cold pool gave birth to a wave, and the shadows of the birds swept by, leaving a panic behind.

Zhao Mingyin interrupted Zhao Surui's words.

"Do you think the same way you do when you train with those recruits? If you don't teach or discipline, throw a knife in front of them and judge that they are useless? Are you like this in the imperial examination? Even if he is a new champion, he has to enter the Hanlin Academy to learn how to deal with government affairs, and he is as brilliant as Li Ge, and when he was young, he had to walk in the six departments. I didn't know that His Majesty was so unpredictable when he faced a woman, such a miracle is simply appalling!"

Taking a step forward, Zhao Mingyin's tone became more and more high-spirited:

"The queen has been trapped in the deep palace for many years, and she has just begun to select female masters for the inner study, and there have been no mistakes or omissions so far, so it turns out that it is useless in the eyes of His Majesty? I, Zhao Mingyin, am just a weak princess, and I once used to be a thief, so the knife I raised was not a knife? So the thief I killed was not a thief? It turns out that I, Zhao Mingyin, was not a woman by nature, so when Wang Gui fell, why did a group of courtiers like a great enemy when the first emperor wanted to seal me? Your Majesty! Women are obedient because Your Majesty you make them submissive, this is a woman's suffering, not a woman's fault, if it is the other way around, it becomes the reason why women are imprisoned, it is a big joke!" ….

The wind rises, the leaves fall, and the sleeping old fish in the cold pool turns its body and stirs up waves.

Several young maids stood by the pool, watching the iron-like clouds reflect in the pool, as if they were dressed in battle robes and armor for the alarmed pool.

In the face of his little aunt's anger, Emperor Zhaode did not get angry, nor did he immediately refute it.

Little aunt, I am not talking about the queen or you, why are you so angry? In the final analysis, female officials are different from men, women are not familiar with government affairs, this is a big shortcoming, these can't even be taught by female masters, and they have found the likes of Hanlin to teach, and no one can suppress the sour Confucianism who looks down on women, Mrs. Baoping Hou is a good order, and she can't convince those Hanlin, and she can't let the queen worry about such trivial matters."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, "Trouble, too much trouble."

The firelight that had just swept across the faces of the maids seemed to have flowed behind Zhao Mingyin at this time, scorching her lungs little by little.

Old memories flickered in the light.

It was as if she hadn't seen anything.

There was only one lamp.

A ...... lights, very close to her.

She walked slowly to the side of the lamp, and the light of the fire illuminated her eyes and face.

"I can."

She said to the emperor.

"I, yes."

Countless tiny circles suddenly appeared on the cold pool that was about to be frozen.

A maid exclaimed in a whisper:

"Next

It's snowing."

Shen Shiqing strode to the front of the hall door and lifted the brocade curtain.

"Okay, tomorrow, I and the Empress will wait for the Imperial Aunt in the Duanji Palace."

The snow stuck to her hair, and with a pure smile on her brow, she turned and strode into the first snowstorm of the winter.

Zhao Mingyin, who was left in place, was stunned, and Lady Ye hurriedly came in, and saw a little hesitation on the face of her princess.

"Princess? But when did it happen?"

Zhao Mingyin was still a little puzzled, she said softly:

"I seem to be being calculated by my nephew, but I think he's ...... It's never been so insidious before."

————

The emperor's steps were so fast that he seemed to be running away.

The four rats followed the emperor and trotted out of the princess's mansion almost all the way, he didn't know what the emperor and the princess said in the palace, he just felt that the emperor's running away was really afraid that others would beat his ass when he came to his senses.

"Emperor, let's go back to the palace."

"Nope." Shen Shiqing looked at the snow falling on the eaves in the distance, still with a smile on her face, "Let's go to Zhengxifang."

The four rats widened their small, not-so-large eyes.

It turns out that cheating between men and women is such an urgent situation?

Even if the emperor and the emperor are in a hurry to see the Shen family, when will they not be able to see them? Do you have to brave the snow?

Puzzled in his heart, the four rats still kept silent and led the carriage to the south.

Shen Shiqing, who was misunderstood as anxious, sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain, and a little snow happened to fall on her fingertips and turned into snow again.

The carriage went all the way south, passing by many pedestrians who were in a hurry to go home and merchants who were busy closing their stalls, and after about half an hour, it finally arrived in front of the old house of the Shen family in Zhengxifang.

Looking at the Shen Mansion in the snow, Shen Shiqing had mixed feelings for a while. ….

Her name is "Shi Qing", and she was naturally born in winter, and a heavy snow stopped in the cry of her birth, and she got this name.

Therefore, whenever the snow falls, it is the time for their family to enjoy the snow around the fireplace and celebrate her birthday by the way.

Just when she was out of her mind, the door of the Shen Mansion opened suddenly, and Zhao Surui, who was wearing a white sable robe, walked out with his chest held high:

"It's time to hunt when it's snowing, we can't hunt in the city, and it's good to spend money! Let's go and spend these few hundred taels of silver."

Seeing Shen Shiqing, Zhao Surui was stunned.

"Why are you here again?"

Huh? How do you say it?

The vivid "Shen Shiqing" is really alive like a shadow in an old dream.

Shen Shiqing, who had just deceived the princess of the dynasty with words, looked at her.

The corners of the lips are lightly raised.

But a tear fell from his eyes.

Zhao Surui was startled, shook off his coat and pounced on her.

"Don't cry!"

He is dignified Emperor Zhaode, wise and martial, civil and martial arts, how can he suddenly shed tears at the door of someone else's house!

Ah Chi and Pei Feng came out after them, and they saw their own girl jumping into the arms of the man they had all seen, and they were about to hold the person's head with their hands.

The four rats looked at it, and their hearts were relieved, it turned out that it was not their emperor who was really anxious.

"Don't cry!"

didn't care if he looked up at Shen Sanrui, Zhao Surui opened his teeth and claws, and wiped and wiped his eyes that belonged to him.

Shen Shiqing burst into tears and laughed:

"Don't worry, everyone else is watching."

After speaking, she wrapped her arms around her slender waist.

Ah Chi and Pei Feng looked at each other, and the two of them turned around in unison, locking the door for everyone else who was going to come out.

The girl ate and drank every day, and now, she finally began to think...... What's the desire?
