Faced with Prince Rui's aggressiveness, Gong Qingxin finally couldn't help but fight back: "My lord, you have to understand that once a woman is forced to put the three obediences and four virtues first, she will naturally have to annihilate all her own personality. At this time, you are dissatisfied with us."
It's boring, boring, has no ideas, and no courage. You men never give us women a stage, so how can we have courage?"
After the words fell, Gong Qingxin felt her cheeks were hot and her heart was beating fast.
This was her first time arguing with someone in public, and she was still a man.
That blush added a charming brilliance to Gong Qingxin's not outstanding appearance, making her like a plum blossom, durable to look at, smell and taste.
Withdrawing his gaze, Prince Rui argued enthusiastically: "What you said makes sense, but you women are not the same. We men are required to be high-ranking officials and well-paid, handsome and unrestrained, and it is best for us to be single-minded and have only one thing in our lives.
A woman is just, is there such a man?"
"You men have clearly stated that we women are not allowed to do this or that. Don't you also not allow us women to have a sweet dream?" Gong Qingxin's tone was still elegant, but there was already a hint of gunpowder in her words.
Prince Rui laughed loudly and said: "Miss Gong, unlike your sister, she is a courageous woman."
Gong Qingxin was stunned and immediately blushed again. She just wanted to leave with an excuse.
At this moment, the quiet Huguo Temple suddenly exploded.
There are constant noises coming from the direction of Tianwang Palace
Someone shouted: "Oh no, something big has happened!"
Gong Qingxin was shocked and hurriedly asked Prince Rui to leave and walked into the room. Before leaving, she glanced back slightly and saw a strange smile on the corner of Prince Rui's mouth, a hint of schadenfreude mixed with a hint of triumph.
A few days later, the case at Huguo Temple became a sensation in the imperial capital.
The imperial concubine insisted that there was a traitor who deliberately framed her. She knelt outside Cining Palace for a day and asked the Queen Mother to come forward to investigate thoroughly.
The Queen Mother issued an order to have the Ministry of Internal Affairs investigate the matter thoroughly.
During the process of handling the case, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs discovered that Master Yunkong was a very famous monk in the imperial capital. He often gave Concubine Shu and Concubine De a lecture on Zen and Buddha rituals. Moreover, both concubines had given Master Yunkong a large number of rewards.
There was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys. People speculated that the murder at Huguo Temple was jointly planned by Concubine Shu and Concubine De in order to remove the imperial concubine from her position in the West Palace.
Due to the extensive involvement, the Huguo Temple case quickly turned from a harem dispute into a court dispute.
The imperial party headed by Gong Shangshu, the literary party headed by Du Lefeng, a scholar of Sange University, and the rear party who supported the queen mother and noble concubines, argued endlessly in the court every day, and even fought.
For a time, the situation in the Qinglong Emperor's capital changed, and discussions spread throughout the Great Zhou Empire.
