"Is it all my fault? Ever since I was little, no matter what I did, you would always use those inexplicable reasons to control me. It is extremely rare for my father to come back from the military camp. You don't allow me to 'disturb' him
!When it was my birthday when I was a child, my father didn’t know my true preferences. I didn’t like the birthday gift he gave me, but you wanted me to pretend that I liked it! Even if I just made some small mistakes that children would make, you would still be scared.
I have to cover it up and down, and I don’t dare to let my father know about it at all!”
"I secretly went to the military camp to look for my father. My father never scolded me, but you punished me to kneel in the Buddhist hall for a day and a night without telling me!"
"You don't allow me to pester my father, don't allow me to act like a baby in front of him, let alone lose my temper in front of him, not even to cry!"
"I didn't understand it when I was young, but when I got older and saw more, I realized that not everyone is like me..."
"You are timid and look down on yourself. You and your husband are not like husband and wife at all! You also force me to look down on myself, which makes me and my father not like father and daughter at all!"
"It was you who didn't allow me to get close to my father, but now you blame me for not knowing how to please my father!"
"Can you really blame me for what you have today? It's because you fail to live up to your expectations that you are looked down upon by others! Even the Queen Mother is quite dissatisfied with you, implying that you are bored in the Jade Kun Palace all day long.
, she doesn’t look like a queen at all!”
"Now that my father has ascended the throne for the first time, everything is still busy. When everything is settled in the future and there are concubines in the harem, there will really be no room for you!"
"You brought this on yourself!"
"Not to mention that I can't stand my father's eyes anymore, even I don't want to see your face at all!"
"..."
After saying this, Princess Yongjia ran out of Yukun Palace in tears.
"She blames me for restraining her in everything...but others blame me for not teaching my daughter well..." Heide closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness: "What should I do right?"
Grandma sighed and could only advise: "Princess, I don't know your difficulties. Children who feel wronged will inevitably say some angry words..."
"No." Haishi shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Mommy, did you hear everything just now? She said that even the Queen Mother feels that I am not worthy of being the Queen..."
"Words often change as they spread... The Queen Mother may not mean this." Mammy comforted her, paused, and then said: "But what you did tonight may indeed be a little inappropriate...
"
Haishi opened his tearful eyes and looked at her: "You think I'm wrong, too? I just want to make amends with that girl Xu and expose the matter so that she won't target Sonner in the future. I also think about your majesty and the prince."
, I don’t want any more disputes…”
"..." Grandma stopped talking.
She didn't know what to say.
But if someone tried to apologize to her like this, not to mention fear, she would probably die of vomiting.
"Over the years, there is not a day when I don't think about how to avoid causing trouble to His Majesty... After I came to the capital, I never had a day's sleep for fear of losing his face, but no matter what I did, I couldn't sleep for a day.
It’s all in vain…”
Heide burst into tears and laughed at himself: "It's useless to say this now, he still wants to drive me away."
Grandma was startled.
"Empress, this is... said by His Majesty himself?!"
Just now in the Deyue Tower, His Majesty was talking to the Empress alone, and she felt something was wrong!
But at most I thought that His Majesty might remind and reprimand the Empress, so how could...
"Yes, he said that his agreement with me was limited to Prince Yan's Mansion in Mizhou... Now that he has become the emperor, he no longer needs to use me as a cover-up." Haishi burst into tears and felt every word.
Zhui Xin: "If it weren't for the fact that he had promised that if I was willing, he would give Son'er a legitimate identity and allow her to marry in peace and glory, I'm afraid I wouldn't be worthy of coming to this capital."
Grandma was a little panicked when she heard this.
How could this be?
The emperor is kind and kind, but he is clearly not such a person!
wrong……
That's really not true...
The original agreement was indeed that each would get what he wanted. The prince only promised to ensure that their mother and daughter would be safe and sound. As for the position of queen... it was indeed not part of the promise.
No one thought that the prince would become the emperor!
And judging from these days, in the eyes of the emperor and the queen mother, the empress may indeed be unsuitable for this position and very difficult...
Thinking about this, grandma became more and more panicked.
She always thought that the emperor was kind enough, but she forgot that being a queen in the capital was not as simple as being a princess in Michigan. It probably involved many things that they could not imagine...
But...what should I do if I leave the capital?
What should she do if she follows the empress?
The emperor's character will certainly ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, but if they want to have the same scenery again, they will definitely not be able to...
What's more, others may not know it, but she sees the empress deeply. If she really leaves the emperor, can the empress... still live well?
Thinking of this, Mammy asked uneasily: "What do you think, Madam? Do you have any plans... or do you deal with it?"
"I don't want to leave, I just want to stay with him, I don't want to go anywhere..." Haishi's eyes were a little distracted, and he asked as if he was distracted: "Mommy, tell me...do I still have a chance?"
Mammy knelt down in front of her and held her hand: "Otherwise, you will explain the truth to the princess... and then go together with the princess to beg your majesty? Your majesty is nostalgic for the old relationship..."
"No... no!" Haishi looked at her suddenly and shook off her hand: "We must not let Sonny know! She can't hide her words, she will definitely make a scene known to everyone!"
At that point, there will really be no way out!
"That……"
Haishi's eyes struggled for a moment, and then he stared at Grandma closely and asked in a low voice: "Did you bring the things you mentioned to me when you were in Mizhou... with you?"
Grandma couldn't understand it for a while.
Only after looking at Heidegger for a moment did he understand what she meant.
Your Majesty, this is what you want...
"My servant has never brought me to the capital...but I think it shouldn't be difficult to find this thing." With mixed feelings in her heart, Mammy asked uncertainly: "But have you seriously thought about it? If His Majesty notices..."
Today was different from the past, and she gradually saw clearly how deep the Emperor's obsession with Empress Yuanxian really was.
Even if the empress succeeds, there is no guarantee that the emperor, who is as keen as the emperor, will not notice it afterwards...
"According to his character, even if he despises me or even hates me... I can at least stay, right?" Heidi's tone was hoarse and gentle, but almost paranoid: "I don't want anything, anyway.
It was impossible for me to win his sincerity... I just need to stay by his side, watch him and accompany him, and live my whole life like this is enough..."
Grandma wanted to give some advice, but she couldn't.
Outside the carved window lattice, the full moon hangs quietly in the sky. The bright moonlight cannot soothe the noisy and turbulent people in the world.
…
Princess Yongjia has not left Yucui Palace for five days.
Until this day, the maid in charge of Yukun Palace came to deliver the message in person and brought several scrolls of portraits.
After enduring until the maid in charge left, Princess Yongjia tore the portraits into pieces.
"They deserve it too!"
"You said I can take charge of my own marriage, but now I'm still being used as a chess piece to win people's hearts!" The girl felt aggrieved and indignant. She bent over and threw the book full of the family background and temperament of those candidates to the ground.
She doesn't want to marry these people!
Let alone others who don’t know, my father clearly knew what she had been thinking, so he was afraid that she would not change her mind and was eager to make her give up so as to avoid future troubles!
That day in Deyue Tower, Zhao Zhao was talking to each other, his eyes were full of admiration, and he was thinking about everything for the other person. Where was her daughter in his eyes?
Recently, she couldn't help but ask people to investigate the things she knew clearly. However, the more she knew, the more she couldn't control the jealousy in her heart.
Her grandfather, her father, and even her stepmother regarded her as a jewel, and this love was a well-known preference!
She clearly already has so much, but she still wants to snatch her brother, her father, and even her royal grandmother!
Girls who have been emotionally deprived since childhood regard all this as robbery.
She threw herself on the couch and cried, throwing away all the thin pillows and blankets on the couch.
The personal maid who had grown up with her was trying to persuade her, but the girl could not hear a word.
The palace ladies guarding the corridor all lowered their heads, as if they had never heard the girl's cry, and no one dared to come forward.
Under the sunny weather for several consecutive days, it was time for the emperor to leave the palace for his autumn hunt.
The retinue of troops marched through the long street, exited the city gate, and headed towards the Quanhe Palace, a hundred miles away on the outskirts of Beijing.
Even along the official road, people could be seen everywhere. Some people in simple clothes were driving their oxen and mules. Seeing such a large formation, it was not clear who was traveling, so they just hurriedly moved to one side.
Hearing the noise of people outside the car, Xu Mingyi slightly lifted the car curtain to take a look.
On both sides of the road, there were people who were trying to get out of the way. Some of them knelt down to salute, while others who were still unable to figure out the situation were pulled to their knees. They quietly looked at the passing team and chatted in low voices.
"...are you really a charioteer?"
"What is this going to do?"
"Is there going to be another war?"
"What kind of battle is this? It's the time of autumn hunting recently..."
Xu Mingyi looked at the common people who were all dressed in different clothes but mostly looked simple, and the most fearful look in their eyes was still there.
Although the replacement of the emperor's throne was relatively peaceful, for these people who had just suffered massive deprivation from the imperial court, it would take time and tangible benevolent policies to establish real trust in the new emperor.
She thought that this day would definitely come.
The reason why the road was not completely cleared one day earlier this time was because of the emperor's wishes.
It is now the time of autumn harvest, and continuous sunny days are really rare. There is no time to delay the rice ripening in the fields. Although autumn hunting is an ancestral tradition, it is not suitable to work for the people and interfere with the livelihood of the people.
The royal chariot's horse moved forward slowly, and about dozens of miles away from the city, a team stopped on one side of the official road.
"Why don't you leave again?"
In the carriage, Princess Yongjia asked with a frown.
The weather has been particularly dry recently, and the autumn sun has been shining for days, and there is a bit of heat rushing back. Along the way, she has to stop when she encounters a people's motorcade. She is sweating sitting in this carriage.
The maid hurriedly went to ask the eunuch who was driving the carriage.
The eunuch replied: "It is His Majesty's wish to get out of the car to enjoy the scenery, so I will stay here for a while."
Enjoy the scenery?
Princess Yongjia opened the car curtain and looked out. All she saw was a large rice field. Many people were bending down and wielding sickles to cut the rice in the fields. There were even men carrying rice bundles bare-shouldered across the ridges of the fields.
What scenery is there to enjoy here?
When Princess Yongjia was about to lower the carriage curtain, she saw Emperor Zhaozhen walking towards the rice fields with a group of people.
Accompanying her are her brother, Prince Jing, Prince Dongyang... and Xu Mingyi!
Why is she everywhere?
She is obviously going to be a crown princess, but she always shows her face in front of others. How does she look like a so-called high-class lady?
Princess Yongjia sullenly threw down the curtain, not wanting to take another look.
The maid quietly took a look and swallowed the suggestion that came to her lips, "Princess, please get out of the car and take a breather."
"God will give you plenty of food this year. Rain will give you rain if you need it, and sunshine will give you enough sunshine if you need it..." In the field, Taifu Jiang said with a smile: "It's a harvest year."
Emperor Zhaozhen nodded with a smile, looked at the golden rice fields, and said, "This is the most spectacular scene in the world."
Compared with the so-called miraculous revelations that are spread everywhere and are so-called flattery, this scene is the real auspicious sign. It means that the people here have food to eat and no longer have to go hungry.
.
Wu Chao bent down, picked off a rice ear, and handed it to Xu Mingyi.
Xu Mingyi took it, and the plump rice ears were heavy in his hands, making people feel hopeful.
She also looked at the bent rice fields.
Your Majesty is right, this is the most spectacular scene in the world.
I wish there would be more such grand scenes everywhere in the world.
"At the bottom of the mountain is Yunyao Academy..." Xu Ming pointed in a direction and whispered to Wu Chao.
Wu Chao looked over and saw the white walls and green tiles at the foot of the half-hidden mountain, and said: "It is also a place of great scenery."
Implementing new policies that loosen restrictions on women is only the first step. Later, when the time is right, a female official system may be introduced.
Zhao Zhao is unique in the world, but there are still many women in this world who have troubles in their hearts like Zhao Zhao.
This was the case for the mountain chief and Zhao Zhao's biological mother who originally built the Yunyao Academy.
Zhaozhao is absolutely right - women shouldn't study and study just to get a good marriage and take care of the family affairs. They should also have more choices and a broader world.
This takes time, and it also requires breaking through the old system that is as solid as a mountain, but as long as you are determined to do it, you will always move forward slowly.
Prince Jing on the side looked at the young girls standing side by side and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Fortunately, after half a day of close and flattering observation, the prince's cousin had no intention of settling old scores with him.
Speaking of which, things in the world are really unpredictable...
His eldest uncle suddenly became the deposed emperor and replaced his second uncle as emperor, and the former grandson of King Dingnan suddenly transformed into His Royal Highness and was engaged to Miss Xu, which inevitably made him envious... ahem, panic
Extremely!
After all, His Highness the Crown Prince was vaguely aware of the fact that he had coveted Miss Xu in the past.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not remember the faults of villains and has never had the same experience as him.
Prince Jing finally put his heart back into his stomach.
…
When the Holy Driver arrived at Quanhe Palace, it was already dusk.
After settling in various places, they rested in the palace for a night, and the next day they began the three-day autumn hunt.
