I traveled with them to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 40 You Deserve to Be the Emperor
...

Ma Xiaojiao had a very enjoyable chat with Su Song, Han Gonglian and others, which swept away her depression, self-doubt and self-denial of the past few days, making her confident again. The feudal thinking and backward values ​​that had troubled her for a long time seemed to be blown away by a breeze, leaving only clarity and determination.

Seeing all the famous scientists in history and contemporary technology giants eager to learn and working tirelessly in front of her, Ma Xiaojiao felt a surge of joy:

"This is how a time traveler like me should behave!"

Ma Xiaojiao once thought that time travel was a joke played by fate on her, throwing her from the familiar world into this unknown abyss.

But at this moment, Ma Xiaojiao understood that time travel was a gift from fate to her, giving her the opportunity to meet the great souls of this era. Together they would explore unknown mysteries and promote the progress of civilization.

This understanding was like a clear spring, nourishing Ma Xiaojiao's dry heart and allowing her originally confused soul to find a home.

Ma Xiaojiao participated more actively in this feast of communication across time and space. Whether it was the mysteries of physics or the magic of chemistry, she explained them one by one to Su Song, Han Gonglian and others, striving to use the most understandable language so that every audience could appreciate the charm of modern science.

Su Song, Han Gonglian and others, with their profound cultural heritage and unique way of thinking, gave Ma Xiaojiao many unprecedented inspirations, allowing her to see a diverse landscape on the road of scientific exploration.

This conversation continued until dark.

Zhao Ya ordered people to prepare a sumptuous banquet.

Ma Xiaojiao ate and talked in a very unruly and even unfeminine manner, and she overshadowed the host Zhao Ya.

In this era, Ma Xiaojiao's behavior is absolutely an act of usurpation and will bring shame to her owner, Zhao Ya.

Some people secretly looked at Zhao Ya, wanting to see how ugly Zhao Ya's face was?

It was seen that Zhao Ya was sitting next to Ma Xiaojiao with a smile on his face, watching Ma Xiaojiao talking and gesticulating.

Just when many people were speculating that Zhao Ya was pretending to be well-mannered and magnanimous because of the presence of Su Song, an outsider, and that he would order Ma Xiaojiao, this disgraceful thing, to be beaten to death after the meal, Zhao Ya took his handkerchief from Liang Shicheng, personally helped Ma Xiaojiao wipe her greasy little mouth, and personally poured her a cup of tea, saying to her with a smile: "Drink some tea and talk slowly."

What made everyone present drop their jaws was that Ma Xiaojiao said "Oh", took the teacup handed to her by Zhao Ya, and prepared to drink it all in one gulp.

Halfway through her drink, Ma Xiaojiao realized that it was Zhao Ya who served her tea and water, and that Zhao Ya had wiped her mouth personally before that.

Ma Xiaojiao's movements suddenly stopped, and then she became panicked! She quickly turned her head to look at Zhao Ya, but found that Zhao Ya didn't mean to blame her at all. Not only that, there was a hint of... well, doting, yes, doting in Zhao Ya's eyes.

"She likes me?"

This caused a strange ripple in Ma Xiaojiao's heart, and a blush immediately appeared on her face. She put down the teacup awkwardly, unsure whether to kneel down and admit her mistake, or...

Before Ma Xiaojiao could figure out how to respond, Zhao Ya said with a smile, "Although I don't understand this, I know very well that this is the way to revitalize our Song Dynasty. If you can develop some practical agricultural tools, tools, transportation, and weapons today, and the court promotes them, it will surely benefit the country and the people. If our Song Dynasty has many advanced machines to improve people's livelihoods and military industry, why should we worry about our Song Dynasty's demise?"

Seeing Zhao Ya being so understanding, Ma Xiaojiao felt warm in her heart. She thought to herself: "You are so good, you deserve to be the emperor!"

Su Song was also amazed by Zhao Ya's wisdom, magnanimity, and ability to appoint people to positions. He had never expected that the little-known King Shen could be so knowledgeable and talented.

Han Gonglian and others who had already surrendered to Zhao Ya were all happy to be employed by him when they saw how much Zhao Ya respected them and treated them with respect.

However, after this little incident, Ma Xiaojiao, Su Song, Han Gonglian and others all calmed down. They chatted briefly for a while, and Su Song took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye.

Zhao Ya took Ma Xiaojiao and Han Gonglian to escort Su Song out of the house. Afterwards, Zhao Ya asked Han Gonglian to go and rest.

After Ma Xiaojiao was the only one left, Zhao Ya was a little hesitant about whether to let Ma Xiaojiao sleep with him tonight.
To be honest, Zhao Ya definitely wants Ma Xiaojiao.

Let me put it this way, if he wasn't interested in Ma Xiaojiao, would he have gone to watch Ma Xiaojiao invent those useless things?
But the problem is that Ma Xiaojiao is a little young now, probably around sixteen years old.

At least not as big as Zhao Ya imagined.

"Isn't it a bit early to take action now?"

"But people in this era have relatively short lifespans. Many die in their twenties. Therefore, most men and women have to get married at a very young age. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to social development."

"I can't look at this problem from the perspective of my previous life."

"Since we have come to this era, we should do as the Romans do."

Well, Zhao Ya admitted that he liked to take the money and run, especially those who were Zhang Chun, Li Lin, Ye Shiyun, Ma Xiaojiao and Yuan Qingcheng.

This is mainly because these five women are almost irreplaceable, and they are not very bound by feudal ideas. If Zhao Ya doesn't get them, he will feel a little lost and it will be difficult to control them.

At this moment, Zhao Ya was shocked to find that Ma Xiaojiao was crying.

Tears flowed unrestrainedly on Ma Xiaojiao's heavily made-up face, and Ma Xiaojiao suddenly became no longer a little cat, but a ghost.

"Well, the sexual contraction force is maxed out."

But Zhao Ya still asked with concern: "Why are you crying?"

Ma Xiaojiao couldn't say, "If you hadn't pulled me up when I was most helpless, lost, and lacking confidence, I would have been arranged by feudal society and the feudal system to become the most unsuccessful time traveler. It was you who helped me find myself again. I am crying for my rebirth."

Ma Xiaojiao could only cry and say, "Thank you, you are such a good person."

Zhao Ya didn't really understand why Ma Xiaojiao was crying or why she said thank you to him. He just held up Ma Xiaojiao's tear-stained face and gently wiped her tears with his thumbs. At the same time, he said to her gently, "No matter what grievances you have, there is no need to worry. From now on, I will protect you. No one can or dares to bully you anymore."

These were the most beautiful words Ma Xiaojiao had ever heard since she traveled through time, no, in her two lifetimes.

At this moment, Ma Xiaojiao felt more at ease than ever before.

Ma Xiaojiao glanced at Zhao Ya's handsome but slightly immature face out of the corner of her eye. Her heartbeat began to accelerate and her face immediately turned red. Then the red color quickly spread from her face to her neck, and then quickly went down, finally reaching her heels!
Ma Xiaojiao couldn't help but think:

"If I'm with him, would that be considered an old cow eating young grass? After all, in my previous life, I was almost thirty years old, and he was only sixteen. I could almost be his mother."

"No, no, he's nearly a thousand years older than me. Even if it's an old cow eating young grass, he's the old cow, and I'm just a tender and tender sixteen-year-old grass. He's not at a disadvantage..."
