523. Chapter 523 If you want to kill Xiao Xian, take Shen Mingzhu first! 【02
On the surface, Xiao Yu's mother in the palace was just an inconspicuous woman. She worked there every day doing needlework and didn't care about anything. She was as scared of people as she was of ghosts. Shen Mingzhu had always suspected that such a woman
, how could it be possible to give birth to such a son.
Xiao Xian acted quickly and found their lair within a few days.
"This is all due to Songzhi. He had nothing to do, so he brought a group of people to monitor Xiao Yu and the old thief all day long, so he found the outer room."
Hearing that he called his father an old thief, Shen Mingzhu covered her lips and chuckled, "How about we have a drink first to wish that the Crown Prince will become the King of Yan soon?"
Xiao Xian raised his eyebrows, "I'm not interested in any prince at all. It would be nice if I could live freely."
Shen Mingzhu approached him, smiled slightly and said: "But the prince doesn't have that condition at all, does he? You were born in an emperor's family, and you have to work for the welfare of the people of the world. If the world is unfair, you naturally have to take the lead. Otherwise, you are considered free.
In the mountains and forests, you will not feel at ease, but will be depressed and upset. It is better to be a prince, take charge of the world's soldiers and horses, pacify the world, and then make other plans."
Xiao Xian thought she was right and smiled casually, "People always say that I am calm and resourceful. I think they are all flatterers. You are the one who deserves it."
Shen Mingzhu said unceremoniously: "My lord, Mingzhu, took the horse that Mingzhu took, and it was very useful. My lord, do you really not consider my words? In fact, when you are born in this world, no matter you are a white man or a high-ranking official,
Whether it is emperors, generals, or ministers, no one is truly free. You have to eat, drink, socialize with others, and communicate with nature. The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter are different, and you have to wear different clothes. How to be free?
Faced with this lack of freedom, we can only relax mentally and find our own freedom within a limit."
Xiao Xian was quite interested, "How to limit it?"
Shen Mingzhu smiled slightly, "Among people in society, those who are free are either the highest or the lowest. If you are the Nine-Five Supreme, then you can live and die, and you can realize whatever ideas you have as soon as possible. If you are a beggar,
Then you don’t worry about the people’s livelihood or the world. You just go begging when you are hungry and sleep when you are full. But you don’t want the vanity of being respected by others.”
Xiao Xian sighed and said with a smile: "If you say this, no one in the world is free anymore."
Shen Mingzhu nodded, but then said: "It's not absolute, at least I feel that I am very free now. Compared with being beaten and scolded all day long in Shenjiawan, now I can beat and scold others, eat and drink as I like, I feel
It's very freeing. It depends on what you want and whether you get a certain degree of release compared to the past."
Xiao Xian couldn't help but laugh, "Listening to your words is indeed better than ten years of reading. I used to think I was free under an illusion, but in fact I was blinded and imprisoned everywhere. Now I have broken those illusions. I seem to be aggrieved everywhere, but
In reality, everything is bright and transparent.”
Shen Mingzhu touched her palms and said, "Of course. The prince has realized it."
Xiao Xian stood up, straightened the sleeves of his robe, and saluted solemnly, "Thank you, Miss Mingzhu, for your guidance."
Shen Mingzhu also wanted to play around, and returned the greeting with her hands folded, "How dare you, how dare you!"
"Hey, eldest lady, Prince, are you worshiping heaven and earth?"
