Chapter 13: There are secrets
The golden wire cage imprisons the birds, and the red walls and blue tiles imprison the people, and there is actually no difference between the two.
Xie Wan looked at the bird steadily, until it disappeared into the night, the bird was easy to be free, but people couldn't.
"This world has always been harsh on women, and there are not many ways out for women, and they can't fight on the battlefield like men and can't participate in scientific expeditions, the so-called better way out is nothing more than hoping to marry a good family, the husband is motivated, and the in-laws are enlightened. But even so, it is not without ups and downs.
If he hadn't entered the palace, the slave and maid would have been married, and they would have been trapped in the house all their lives, just calculating for Lang Jun's little pleasure. But when she entered the palace, the slave and maid saw a different world, and women could also receive an errand like a man, and be promoted according to their own ability. The Taixue in the palace not only talks about women's rules and female precepts, but also talks about the four books and five classics to teach us to understand reason. ”
Xie Wan stretched his sleeves and made another big salute, and bowed down with joy and sincerity, "Slaves and maids wish to be like birds, even if they go through wind and rain, they must support themselves." The slave is willing to obey the dispatch of the Queen Mother and has no complaints. ”
A little smile appeared on Empress Dowager Zhao's face, and she waved her hand to signal that Xie Wan didn't have to kneel anymore. There was a smile on his face, "I killed your father, don't you want to avenge your father?" ”
Xie Wan's calves were no longer numerous, and he couldn't stand up weakly even if he was on the ground, so he only turned his legs slightly to the side, which was considered to be kneeling on the ground.
"In life, everyone has to make their own choices and pay the price for their choices, the father has also paid the price for choosing his path, and the slave and maid are now just making their own choices.
The queen mother is the king, the king wants the ministers to die, the ministers have to die, the slaves and maids used to be resentful, but now they don't hate. ”
Empress Dowager Zhao stared at Xie Wan for a moment, then turned around and went towards the inner hall, "I know, you go back first and wait for my order." ”
On the other side, the banquet in Taiye Pool had dispersed, and Shen Shirong and Shen Yao were also led out of the palace by the chamberlain, and the eyes of both of them were indelible gloom.
Before leaving the palace gate, Shen Yao pulled Shen Shirong's sleeve, "Brother, she won't have an accident, right?" ”
Shen Shirong frowned and didn't say anything, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he pulled Shen Yao into the carriage, and then relaxed.
"In the future, we must pay special attention to our words and deeds outside, Kyoto is not as good as Liangzhou City, and now our family is held high, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it."
Shen Yao's face was solemn, she pursed her lips and nodded, opened her lips and stopped talking.
Shen Shirong sighed, looking at this face that was like Xie Wan, he couldn't blame him after all, his palm gently stroked the top of Shen Yao's head, "Yaoyao, it was an extremely risky thing for your sister to entrust you to me back then, and she must have recognized you today, but many things can only be slowly figured out, let alone discovered, otherwise not only the Marquis of Wucheng's Mansion but also her will be implicated." ”
Shen Yao could also be said to be Xie Yao, and nodded vigorously. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked straight at the palace wall, but said nothing.
In Ganquan Palace, Xiao Mingze sat casually in the courtyard, with a few crooked wine jugs in his hand, his face flushed, and his eyes were hazy.
"Oh, Your Majesty, you can't drink it anymore, it hurts your body a lot."
"Presumptuous! Now you're going to teach Lone how to behave, too? The queen mother is born today, how about being happy to drink two more cups...... Anyway, it's the same whether you go to the early dynasty or not...... It's all the same. ”
He Wen had the courage to snatch the wine jug from Xiao Mingze's hand, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Old slave, but Your Majesty, you really can't drink anymore." ”
A footstep from far and near finally stopped beside He Wen, the voice was vigorous and powerful, "Okay, you take everyone down, here I am." ”
He Wen glanced up as if he had seen a savior, and nodded again and again, "Fortunately, Master Taishi, you are here." ”
Xiao Mingze hung his head and hid his face in the shadows, his ears were filled with the sound of chaotic footsteps, and when everything was quiet, Xiao Mingze looked up at Wang Taishi, but his eyes were clear, how could he look a little drunk.
"Teacher, you're here."
Wang Taishi nodded, glanced at He Wen and the others who did not retreat, stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Mingze's words, and immediately spoke loudly, with a distressed look, "Your Majesty, how can you be so depraved, is this what the minister taught you in the past." ”
Xiao Mingze also reacted, and then said, in a drunken tone, "Lone is happy, the teacher might as well drink two more glasses with Lone." ”
After the play, the two sat down face to face, but Xiao Mingze supported his head and did not face the outside of the hospital.
"The teacher must have come here for the draft that the queen mother said."
Wang Taishi nodded, frowning with a solemn expression, "The minister thought seriously for a moment, this draft is indeed imperative, Your Majesty, you have been the crown ceremony for more than a year, and the harem is still empty, and the imperial heir is unable to continue, I am afraid it will also shake the country." And if you take a concubine immediately, you can also take advantage of the situation to return to the jade seal, and the queen mother will not be able to say anything at that time. Moreover, Your Majesty, you can also use the draft to win over some courtiers. ”
The more Wang Taishi's words were spoken, the more hesitant he became, but he didn't dwell on it for a long time before his expression suddenly became firm, "The minister's words are a bit deviant, but everything is all for Your Majesty." ”
Xiao Mingze wrinkled his eyebrows, and said after a while, "Lone knows that the teacher is working hard, but the matter of the draft is still a long-term consideration, and the teacher can also choose one of the new Dengke's moves, whether it is of great use." ”
After the important talk, Wang Taishi flicked his sleeves and angrily scolded Xiao Mingze for not knowing the etiquette, and then left angrily. Xiao Mingze still sat in place unmoved, and after a while, the news spread into the Shoukang Palace.
Empress Dowager Zhao was holding the scroll at that time, and turned the page unhurriedly, "Got it, go down." ”
Zhu Qing stepped forward with the ginseng soup, "Niangniang used the ginseng soup to rest early, and tomorrow will be early." ”
Empress Dowager Zhao put down the scroll, but did not take the soup bowl. "Cook another bowl of decanting soup, and send it to the emperor with this ginseng soup, and the emperor is short of someone to take care of him."
Xie Wan was quietly sent back to the small courtyard of the Si Yuan Division, and there is only one in charge of the Si Yuan Division, so that in addition to Xie Wan, there is only Li Dianzhi left in the courtyard.
Xie Wan was lying on the bed, his trouser legs rolled up high, and the bruises at his knees were even more terrifying because of his fair complexion. Li Dianzhi sat on the side, squeezed the ointment in his palm with his hand, and carefully rubbed it on Xie Wan's knee after melting it with his palm.
"What's wrong with you, I'm afraid this leg will affect your work."
Xie Wan hissed, then clenched his palms and refused to scream again, and he could pull his lips to reveal a faint smile, "I'm bothering Sister Li again, it's really unrewardable." ”
Xie Wan refused to say, and Li Dianzhi didn't ask again.
In the palace, who doesn't have a little secret?
