Ling He looked at her quietly and suddenly asked, "Xie Zhao, you often say that you are just a person who has no past. But along the way, I feel that you don't have a past, but you want to cut off your past. You've made it all the way. It's hard, isn't it? ”

He had a vague premonition, as if under the surface of Xie Zhao's calm life now, there were mountains and seas and majestic waves crashing on the shore.

She seems to be impregnable, and she always looks confident and stable in trouble, but no one can really be indestructible forever.

When Xie Zhao was still poor and destitute, he was still able to see injustice, save the women who were bullied and bullied by the rich landowners in the countryside, and properly settle their family; Even if her own life is up and down, whenever she encounters injustice on the street, she will still help others.

Such a person should not be the mediocre appearance he is today.

It shouldn't be the one that doesn't look angular now.

That's right, Xie Zhao just "doesn't look like there are any edges and corners", not "really no edges and corners".

If she couldn't even see this, then Ling or thought that she had known her for so long.

Ling Or could see clearly that Xie Zhao once had a ball of hot magma in his heart, but for some reason, he was pressed down by her own hands and held it in her heart.

But Xie Zhao seems to be born a vigorous person, even in the most depressed and embarrassed half a year, lying on the bed and seriously injured to the point that she can't get up, whenever she wakes up, she always looks smiling and not worried.

It seems that no haze can really drown out her optimism and brightness.

As the saying goes, those who are too rigid are easy to break, and those who are good and soft are undefeated.

Ling He couldn't help but wonder, was Xie Zhao in the past tougher than she is now?

Perhaps it is precisely because she has completely "broken" once because of "too rigidity" that she will realize that at such a young age, she is careless about things, unfazed by people, and as soft as a spring breeze and rain.

But Ling He is not a rough Han Changsheng, he knows that Xie Zhao's "softness" is with sharp edges and steel nails, but it usually does not appear easily.

However, she has always straightened her waist and relied on others along the way, which is actually very tiring, right?

That's why he asked: You are all the way. It's hard, isn't it?

Xie Zhao was slightly stunned when he heard this.

She thought that Ling He would ask her why she and Min Xiaoyao knew each other - she knew that as long as Ling Or was not stupid, she would definitely know that she and Min Xiaoyao knew each other.

It's just that I didn't expect that Ling Or would finally throw such a question.

He asked: You are working hard, aren't you?

Xie Zhao lost his mind for a moment.

It seems that since her mother, Empress Xiaochun Xie Wan, and her master, High Priest Fengzhi, passed away one after another, no one has asked her this question again.

When Emperor Xian Wei was alive, he would only look at her with a look of relief and pride, hoping that she would be more competitive.

Emperor Wei hoped that this daughter could afford the proverbs obtained by the high priest of Fengzhi in the past, contribute to the prosperity of the Tianchen Dynasty, and assist the prince to become the barrier of the dynasty.

It is undeniable that there is indeed love in her father's eyes when he looks at her, and she is indeed Emperor Wei's favorite child.

But the depths of Wei Di's eyes that looked at her also occasionally flashed a trace of jealousy and fear, especially when she showed her earth-shattering talent in the martial arts realm.

In this era of chivalry and martial arts, no one in power in the four realms will be defenseless against the power above the martial arts.

Even between father and son, mother and daughter.

In fact, her younger brother Fu Jingyan is more like a child most of the time.

Xie Zhao has been wise since she was a child, and many times she prefers to pretend to be stupid in the city where Zhaoge never sleeps.

She didn't want to let herself live too thoroughly, it would be too tiring.

Although Xie Zhao had never said it to anyone, she could see from her brother Fu Jingyan's eyes that he had hidden his true thoughts so well.

- Fu Jingyan hopes in her heart that she can be a well-behaved eldest sister and a well-behaved princess.

Neither deviant nor overly strong.

Of course, Fu Jingyan would have such thoughts, which is not difficult to guess.

Frankly, he couldn't even blame him for this.

After all, he was taught and raised by the most ancient etiquette and etiquette masters in the entire Tianchen Dynasty since he was a child.

And in the etiquette of Tianchen in the entire Southern Dynasty and the cognition of his younger brother Jingyan, the princess of the national dynasty should be decent, and she can only be graceful and generous.

In Xie Zhao's view, the Tianchen Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty and the Hanyong Dynasty of the Northern Dynasty are actually very "interesting" countries.

This "interesting" is derogatory in Xie Zhao's understanding.

These two countries are obviously the most prosperous and powerful countries among the four realms of the Eastern Continent, but the status of women is not as good as the Western Frontier Dynasty, which they regard as a barbarian land, and Zhongzhou Ruian, who they call "tacky and merchant-oriented".

Men and women are equal in Western Xinjiang, and even in the royal family, the royal daughter has the same inheritance rights as the prince.

And Zhongzhou Ruian is roughly the same, but anyone who can make money for the family and ensure the prosperity of the family, even a woman can become a respectable head of the family, and the frank and unrestrained leader of the family's sea ships go to the other side of the mainland to buy and sell.

It seems that only Tianchen in the South and Handyong in the North are still the way of the world where men are respected.

The Northern Dynasty was still martial arts, and the 36 departments were the most courageous people.

Therefore, except for a few women who are gifted in martial arts, most ordinary Northern Dynasty women are not as powerful as ordinary men, and this imbalance in power is brought about by the innate physiology of men and women - this also leads to the fact that the women of the Northern Dynasty who live outside the Saiwai herding horses have not been as good as the men in the clan since ancient times.

Speaking of Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty, the Tianchen Dynasty is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is the most well-known hometown of Confucianism, Taoism and ancient rites in the Eastern Continent for thousands of years.

Fortunately, in the past hundred years, the Southern Dynasty has also successively produced several female Tianjiao such as "Shaoguang Sword Immortal" and "Chitose Sword Immortal", and the status of women has gradually increased.

In recent years, some women who have done small business and shown their faces can also be seen on the streets of the Southern Dynasties, and even women can be seen in martial arts halls and weapons shops - if you go back a hundred years, this is something that you dare not think.

Even the academies established by the "Chitose Sword Immortal" on the border of the Southern Dynasty in the past for poor disciples to study also recruited women who wanted to study without discrimination.

She openly expressed her support for the attitude that women can and should study just like men, which caused a sensation in the Southern Dynasty at the time.

Fortunately, under the prestige of the "Chitose Sword Immortal", the first sword in the world of "Fu Jingzi", and the secret acquiescence of the Xunyang Xie family, the head of the world, although there is a lot of resistance to the matter of women going to school, it can be regarded as a thrilling promotion.

As for the women's scientific entrance examination. At that time, because Emperor Wei Fu Shang of Tianchen was already extremely ill, she knew that this matter still needed to be done step by step.

Xie Zhao knows very well the truth that things must be opposed, since the women of the Southern Dynasty have been able to enter the academy and study with men, the imperial examination should still be pushed slowly, so as not to bottom out and rebound.

Who knew that later on, Shu first suffered from floods, and then met with epidemics in the three counties.

At that time, Xie Zhao was anxious and hurriedly went south to Shu, and soon after returning to Zhaoge City, Emperor Wei of the first emperor died of illness; After the new emperor ascended the throne, everything was complicated, the court was treacherous, and many parties took action after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, in a vain attempt to eat greater dividends in the temple.

In this way, the idea of a woman in the Southern Dynasty entering the government was delayed for another two years.
