Chapter 43: Why can't Hongu?
When he escaped from the princess's mansion in a little embarrassment, Ye Suiyun met Xu Ningqin at the door.
Xu Ningqin came to send Xiaochun's embroidery, and she was naturally happy to see Ye Suiyun.
I wanted to give a thank you gift, but unfortunately, as soon as I saluted, Ye Suiyun waved his hand and left in a hurry.
Xu Ningqin blinked and entered the princess's mansion, only to see Shangguan Kite smiling and putting a painting into the painting bucket.
Seeing that there was joy in her eyebrows, Xu Ningqin saluted and asked curiously, "Princess, has this made a satisfactory picture?" ”
"I'm satisfied." Shangguan Kite replied.
In fact, what made her even happier was that she didn't expect the cold Lord Ye to be shy, and he would also show an embarrassed but had to do it, which was very interesting.
After finishing this painting, Ye Suiyun didn't even look at it and left directly, and the more Shangguan Yuan thought about it, the more funny he felt.
But if Ye Suiyun glanced at it, he would find that there was no beautiful man or naked man on the painting, but just a pool of lotus flowers.
Of course, Shangguan Kite wouldn't tell him.
Sitting down on the chair in a good mood, Shangguan Yuan had already seen the things carried by the two guards behind Xu Ningqin: "Double-sided screen? So big? ”
"Yes, it's right in this pavilion." The size was chosen by Xu Ningqin, and she had already noticed that Shangguan Kite liked to stay in this lake pavilion.
Shangguan Kite bowed slightly, and the two lifted the silk covered on it, and a pool of lotus flowers came into view.
"This embroidery is really good." Shangguan Kite praised.
Turning over again, it was a line of high-flying geese.
In the clear blue sky, a few white clouds, wild geese stretched their long wings and soared among them.
Shangguan Kite couldn't help but get up and approach: "This is ......"
"Ah, princess...... Don't like this side of the view? Xu Ningqin was a little nervous.
Shangguan Kite shook his head slightly, and gently reached out to caress it.
"This is the scenery that Koharu saw from the window a few days ago while lying down to recuperate." Xu Ningqin explained, "She has never seen the lotus flowers in the princess's mansion, and the grass people described to her that she could embroider them, but this is what she has seen with her own eyes." ”
"She told the grass people that the eldest princess helped her solve the man, and she will be like a high-flying goose in the future, and she will no longer be shackled." Xu Ningqin said with a smile.
Shangguan Kite's fingers gently brushed the feathers of the wild goose, and sighed softly: "Yes, she...... Not ready to marry again? ”
"Yes...... Lord Ye bought her free body for twenty taels of silver, and she said that she wanted to follow the grass people in the future, and wanted to exchange her own hands for wealth, and the grass people had agreed. Xu Ningqin said in a low voice.
Shangguan Kite blinked her eyes and laughed again: "Bengong remembers that she is still very young. ”
"Yes, not even seventeen." Xu Ningqin replied.
Shangguan Yuan replied softly, and then went to see Xu Ningqin: "Do you like her because you have similar experiences?" ”
What she said was that she was treated as a commodity by her parents and used to change the parents of the men in the family.
Xu Ningqin paused, then shook her head with a smile: "Yes and no...... Once upon a time, well, a long time ago, there was a younger sister who, if she was still alive, would be her age as Haru. ”
"The grass people feel sorry for what happened to her, and they like her to be strong."
"The grass people just feel that if Xiaochun has experienced the hardships of his family and marriage, he can stand up and support himself, and he is strong enough."
After a pause, Xu Ningqin looked at the wild goose and said slowly, "The grass people have seen such a place in books before, where women, like men, can start reading and reading from a young age, and take exams like men to gain more knowledge reserves. ”
"When they reach adulthood, they can work like men, even if they are a little weaker, and they can use what they have learned in exchange for payment."
"The security of that place is good, even if the woman is not married, she can set up her own household registration and live alone."
"When a woman can support herself, she doesn't have to depend on a man to live, she doesn't have to marry."
Shangguan Kite listened to it with longing, and couldn't help asking: "What is that said in the book?" Hongu also wants to see it. ”
“…… The grass people also saw the book by chance, but forgot the title of the book, and if they encountered it in the future, they would send it to the eldest princess. ”
For some reason, Shangguan Kite felt that Xu Ningqin was a little depressed for a moment.
Retracting the finger that stroked the wild goose, Shangguan Kite had an idea: "If this palace wants to set up a school that only for women to study......"
Xu Ningqin's eyes lit up, but he saw Shangguan Kite frowning and shaking his head.
"It's easy to run a school, even if you don't have to be bound by the palace, it's just that it's hard to find a female master, and it's even more difficult to stay."
Shangguan Kite sighed.
Even the palace maids who serve in the palace will be released to return home when they reach a certain age.
A female master will also become her own son, and after giving birth to a child, she is completely confined to her husband and children in the backyard, how can she be a master again and educate people again?
It is really difficult to find a woman who is not married, does not have children, does not have to take care of the family, and can be literate.
Xu Ningqin naturally thought of this, and couldn't help but sigh.
Then, her eyes skimmed over the shelves of books behind Shangguan Kite, and she couldn't help but sigh: "The princess is a well-educated person. ”
"It's not really, it's just that my father is gracious, and Yun Bengong and the royal brothers are together with the royal brothers to study in Beiyong until the end of the course."
Shangguan Yuan finished speaking with a smile and was stunned again.
Xu Ningqin didn't feel anything, and was still smiling: "I heard that the princess is the first princess of the first emperor and is very favored, and it is so." The princess learns and knows no different from that of a man."
"Hongu ...... is favored, even favored by his father, but everything he gets is not as good as an unfavored prince. ”
Shangguan Kite suddenly said like this.
Xu Ningqin was also stunned.
"Because of the low status of his biological mother, the seventh emperor brother can't see his father every year." Shangguan Kite said slowly, "But his reading does not need additional gifts from his father, his fiefdoms, servants, and guards are the most ordinary princes, and they are much more favored than the most favored daughter of this palace." ”
"The queen mother often said that this palace is the most noble woman in the world, and she should also be the luckiest daughter."
"But that's all."
Xu Ningqin looked at her dumbfounded, afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it: "Princess......"
"Boss Xu can go north and south like a man, do his own business, and do the factories and shops he wants to do......"
Shangguan Kite said and kept silent.
What if she could be like a man?
If she, too...... Is it a prince?
It is the seventh prince who is the most unfavored biological mother, and he is also regarded as an opponent by the eldest prince in the battle for succession, and dozens of guards keep him firmly guarded in the palace.
Only she, the princess, is not taken into account at all, so she can easily escape.
If she has learned and known the same as a man, then why can't she enjoy the rights of a prince?
Why can't she have the qualifications to take the heir?
Shangguan Kite was taken aback by what he was thinking, and hurriedly took a few steps back.
She didn't know what she was afraid of, but she felt very flustered.
At this time, Xu Ningqin asked in a low voice: "Does the princess want to be like the high-flying geese, and no longer be restrained?" ”
