Chapter 38: The Wind Rises 2

Originally, Zhao Xiaoyi didn't want to think about it, but somehow in her thoughts, she suddenly thought that the regent had been married for more than two years, and in the backyard of the regent palace, including the princess regent, no woman had ever dressed up good news.

It was as if the women had never appeared in front of outsiders except the princess regent.

Seeing that the palace was getting closer and closer, Zhao Xiaoyi's heart was as if someone had poured a few pots of pepper water, as if she had no intuition.

Seeing that the gate of the palace was in front of her, Zhao Xiaoyi felt a little heartbroken, motioned to the maid who had been waiting at the door of the carriage to go out, and then asked the bottom of her heart to Hubu Shangshu.

Hearing Zhao Xiaoyi's questioning, Hubu Shangshu sighed helplessly: "Yi'er, since you asked, it's not easy for your father to hide it from you." ”

Zhao Xiaoyi's heart tightened, as if the big stone that had been hovering in her heart had finally fallen: "Father, please say, no matter what the result is, my daughter can stand it." ”

"Actually, my daughter doesn't mind these things, after all, the prince is a talent, and my daughter has actually admired the prince for a long time. I'm just worried that my daughter will be embarrassed by then...... Therefore, it is better for my daughter to be mentally prepared in advance for these things. ”

Hube Shangshu looked at his daughter who had been teaching him since she was a child, and his heart was full of regret: "But as long as your brother is half calm with you, he will not be so old as a father and have to pull down his face to work so hard for our Zhao family." ”

Zhao Xiaoyi's face turned a little pale, and there was no joy of being praised in her heart, but only bitterness in her heart.

But there is no way, the world's prejudice against women is too deep.

is so profound that even she herself doesn't know whether the path she insists on taking is right or not.

Hubu Shangshu patted Zhao Xiaoyi's shoulder comfortingly: "Don't think too much, even if something really happens in the future, it's a big deal for my father to pull down his old face and go to the prince to ask for a letter of harmony, our Zhao family will not lack you a bite to eat." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyi, who was cold, only felt a burst of sourness in front of her: "Father......"

Whenever she began to lose herself, her father always stood behind her and encouraged her.

Otherwise, she would not have had the courage to talk to the regent, and she would not have learned so much.

When she was able to learn the three virtues and the four virtues of the other scholars, her father asked her to learn the six arts of the gentleman with her brother and see more of the world.

When other women wanted to study but were restrained, her father was still careful for her when he was old, letting her go out for a good time, and he was full of thoughts about how to give her a cover......

What a blessing!

Zhao Xiaoyi tugged on the sleeve of Hubu Shangshu and cried silently.

Hubu Shangshu didn't speak, but just comforted Zhao Xiaoyi.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the palace, and Zhao Xiaoyi was counting the time even if she was crying.

When the carriage stopped, Zhao Xiaoyi had already sorted out her expression.

Except for her red eyes, there were almost no signs of crying.

"Let's go."

Hube Shangshu stood up slowly: "I can't tell you how things are going now, but after I see the prince in a while, you will know." ”

Zhao Xiaoyi pulled the corners of her mouth that was a little bitter: "Don't worry, father, daughter is provincial." ”

Whatever the reason is, it doesn't have much to do with her.

The love of men and women?

Zhao Xiaoyi never needed that kind of thing, she always knew what she wanted.

So the love between men and women is nothing to her.

After getting out of the car, Zhao Xiaoyi kept following behind Hubu Shangshu.

Zhao Xiaoyi at this time is not the same as her before.

If Zhao Xiaoyi was like a benchmark for a noble lady before, but now Zhao Xiaoyi has a temperament that is different from that of a woman in this world.

It looks like a pine tree growing on the edge of a cliff, or a green bamboo growing in the deep forest, and it just makes people feel like they are shining in the eye.

The two slowly walked into the palace, and the moment they entered, a burning gaze kept staring at Zhao Xiaoyi, until Zhao Xiaoyi's figure slowly disappeared, and that gaze could not be withdrawn.

"What is the general looking at?"

“…… It's nothing. ”

A figure wearing silver chain mail stood straight on it, and this person was on duty above the palace gate.

The woman......

Good life special.

The soldiers on the side followed Wen Tan's line of sight, and when they found that there was nothing, they withdrew their gaze.

Strange, could it be that his eyes are not as good as the general's, so he can't see them?

The other side.

Although the brazier burning in the dormitory did not smell of smoke, it was an open flame after all, and Chu Qing only felt that his nose seemed to be covered by something, and his chest was stuffy.

It's also fortunate that she doesn't use menstruation now, otherwise think about those menstrual belts with grass and ashes......

Every time he thought about this, Chu Qing felt that he could commit suicide at any time and return to modern times.

"Lord Wang, the head of the household is still in the book and asks to see his daughter."

"Tobe Shangshu...... Let them in. ”

Chu Qing sat up boredly and sorted out his clothes, but the whole person still couldn't lift his spirits.

"Wechen has seen the prince."

"The courtiers have seen the prince."

Chu Qing nodded lightly: "Well, let's all get up." ”

If you have something to say, let it go if you have a fart.

Don't you see that Lao Tzu is about to die?

Hubu Shangshu looked up, only to see Chu Qing's sluggish appearance, and suddenly felt that his heartbeat was about to stop: "Lord Wang, you ...... You...... O lord! Have you seen it to you? ”

Zhao Xiaoyi behind her was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced up at Chu Qing, and her heart was also beating like thunder.

The prince's face ......

It's a little too pale and scary.

The corners of Chu Qing's mouth twitched: "What are you crying for?" The king is not dead yet. ”

Seeing that Hubu Shangshu was still crying, Chu Qing couldn't help but scold: "You continue to cry, cry louder." It is best to let the people of the whole Jin Kingdom, even the Southern Barbarians, the Western Regions and the Chu Kingdom know that the king's life is not long in coming, and we just don't have to fight, how good it would be to surrender directly. The province is noisy every day. ”

Tobe Shangshu's voice stopped abruptly.

However, Zhao Xiaoyi felt that Chu Qing's words just now were like a thunderbolt, which exploded in her ears.

Lord Wang......

Short-lived?

Zhao Xiaoyi couldn't help but whisper: "How can it be ......?"

Hubu Shangshu was awakened by Zhao Xiaoyi's voice, and looked back at Zhao Xiaoyi: "This is what my father has been hiding from you." ”

"How?"

Chu Qing got up from the couch, came to the side of the Hubu Shangshu and helped the person up: "Lord Zhao, has this made a decision?" ”

At this time, where did the Hubu Shangshu dare to let Chu Qing help him?

Almost as soon as Chu Qing got started, Hubu Shangshu didn't know where the strength came from, so he stood up directly: "Return to the prince......

Chu Qing stretched out his hand to stop Hubu Shangshu's next words: "Since you are here to find a future for yourself, then it's better for Miss Zhao to talk about it." ”

Zhao Xiaoyi, who was kneeling on the ground, glanced up at Chu Qing, then at her father who was full of worry, and her heart tightened: "Back to the prince, it is the courtier's daughter who is unwilling to remain in the backyard because of the identity of a woman." The courtiers are brave and want to fight for an identity that can be regardless of gender and the status of the nobles here, and they just want to rely on their own ability to seek an official position in their lifetime, so that the courtiers can show their strength. ”

Chu Qing nodded slightly: "Do you think it's a pity to be a woman?" ”

Zhao Xiaoyi: "No, courtiers are never ashamed of being women. My father has always lamented that I was born a woman in front of his courtiers, and I used to feel the same way. But ever since I grew up with my own ideas, I never felt how ashamed I was to be a woman. ”

"What about women? Is it difficult to achieve it, because there is less than a man in the span, so the two taels of meat must be stupider than the man? If those women who have been trapped in the backyard all their lives can receive the same education, learn the six arts of gentlemen from an early age, and see the freedom and sky outside, then can they still accept the so-called favor of a man who only knows how to compete today? ”

"Men are in power now because they fought for it, so the power is in their hands. And women haven't started to show their talents, so how do you know that women can't compete with men?! ”

There was silence in the dormitory.

Hubu Shangshu was blushing by Zhao Xiaoyi's words, and his heart was even more bitter.

But......

Looking up at Chu Qing's tense face, Hubu Shangshu hurriedly knelt down: "The little girl is ignorant, she actually spoke disrespectfully in front of the prince, and asked the prince to forgive her sins." ”

Chu Qing shook his head lightly, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth: "No, you shouldn't ask this king for forgiveness." Lord Zhao, the most correct thing you have done in your life is to bring up your daughter since she was a child. ”

Based on Zhao Xiaoyi's words today, this girl will definitely be a famous figure in history in the future.

But that is when the world is real and the gears of history will move forward.

And Hube Shangshu and Zhao Xiaoyi, who had been nervous all the time, and had even prepared for the possibility of being punished, only felt that their strength was suddenly relaxed.

Hube Shangshu stretched out his hand and wiped a handful of cold sweat: "The prince is wise!" ”

Zhao Xiaoyi on the side looked at Chu Qing with a pale face, her eyes full of disbelief.

At this moment, her hand hidden in her sleeve was trembling, and her palms were already covered with cold sweat.

She thought ......

She thought it was ......

I thought I was going to die here today!

Who knew that the prince actually ......

How can she repay such a great kindness!

Chu Qing sighed and helped both Hubu Shangshu and Zhao Xiaoyi up: "Since Miss Zhao already has a clear goal, presumably Miss Zhao is ready not to marry for life, right?" ”

Zhao Xiaoyi nodded firmly: "The courtiers will swear allegiance to the prince in this life!" ”

Chu Qing smiled: "In this case, then Miss Zhao is willing to be the king's wife?" ”

Zhao Xiaoyi: "??? ”

Isn't this a bit of a stretch?
