I traveled with them to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 41 How proactive can a woman be? (Thanks to the leader "Nilan Xuanzhen" for his strong support!!!)

...

Xiduo, who had originally given up hope that Ma Xiaojiao would be favored, saw that Ma Xiaojiao was called by Zhao Ya, and it was Liang Shicheng who came to call her personally. The key was that Liang Shicheng's attitude was particularly good, and Xiduo's mind was rekindled.

When it was already dark, Ma Xiaojiao still hadn't come back. Xiduo was overjoyed, thinking that Ma Xiaojiao was safe.

Who would have thought that just as Xiduo was happily humming a little tune while preparing red date porridge to nourish Ma Xiaojiao, the sound of the door opening was heard.

Kita quickly put down the red dates he was washing and walked towards the door with anticipation.

Then, Ma Xiaojiao, with a tear-stained face, opened the door and stood at the door.

Seeing this, Kita's heart sank!
In Xiduo's opinion, Ma Xiaojiao looks like a ghost now, how could Zhao Ya like her?
Needless to say, Ma Xiaojiao must have failed to serve the emperor in the bedchamber, so she cried and was then driven back by Zhao Ya.

It’s over.

It's all over.

This investment was a complete failure.

Xiduo's joy froze in an instant, and his heart sank to the bottom.

But Xiduo was still kind-hearted and did not take advantage of the situation. Instead, he forced a smile and walked forward: "Madam, you..."

Just then, Zhao Ya walked in from outside.

Kita covered his mouth in disbelief!
"Mrs. Ma succeeded?!!!"

The appearance of Zhao Ya was like the sun, instantly illuminating Kita's gloomy heart.

Xiduo never expected that Zhao Ya would personally send Ma Xiaojiao back.

"Am I dreaming?!"

“What a great favor this is!!!”

This sudden turn of events filled Kita with mixed feelings: surprise, confusion, but mostly a renewed longing for the future.

Xiduo hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Your servant Xiduo greets the king."

Zhao Ya was stunned!
He knew Kita.

Kita was very brave. At such a young age, she took the initiative to come to the emperor's bed three times. The last time, she took the opportunity to prepare a bath for herself, took off all her clothes and hid in the bathtub, showing a desperate spirit.

It was not until then that Zhao Ya realized that unless a person reaches a certain level, he will never know how proactive a woman can be.

Although Xiduo scared Zhao Ya, Zhao Ya did not punish Xiduo.

Zhao Ya, who had been at the bottom of society, knew that Xiduo just wanted to change her own destiny. The reason she chose this extreme method was because she really had no other way to go.

Zhao Ya personally took Xiduo out of the bathtub, dried her body, helped her put on her clothes, and said to her: "Don't tell anyone about this, otherwise you will be punished. When you grow up in two years, I will give you a chance to sleep with me." Then he drove her away.

Seeing that Ma Xiaojiao's maid was Xiduo, Zhao Ya thought: "What a coincidence."

"Go get a basin of water for your wife." Zhao Ya ordered.

Xiduo's hands and feet were very quick. Soon he fetched a basin of clean water and brought over a bar of soap.

What made Xiduo's eyes pop out was that the high and mighty prince Zhao Ya actually rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help Ma Xiaojiao remove her makeup himself. Ma Xiaojiao said shyly, "I can do it myself. I dare not trouble the king."

Xiduo was almost dying of anxiety. She thought to herself, "My silly wife, this is such a great thing that so many people would beg for it. If this happens, your position in my palace will be secure. How can you still push it away?"

At this time, Zhao Ya showed his domineering side. He ignored Ma Xiaojiao's words and continued to help Ma Xiaojiao remove her makeup skillfully. At the same time, he said to Ma Xiaojiao: "I don't like women who wear makeup. If you really want to wear makeup in the future, just wear light makeup."

Ma Xiaojiao, who has never had any emotional experience, really doesn't know how to deal with the domineering behavior of Zhao Ya, her younger brother.

After being at a loss for a while, Ma Xiaojiao could only say "Oh", and then obediently stretched out her neck to let Zhao Ya do what he wanted.

Seeing this scene, Xiduo was so envious that she was even a little jealous of Ma Xiaojiao.

However, Kita soon remembered the scene when Zhao Ya took her out of the bathtub, wiped her body personally, and helped her put on her clothes. That was the happiest moment in her life, although her goal was not achieved.

Xiduo secretly looked at Zhao Ya, immersed in the fantasy of a young girl in love...

I don’t know how long it took, but when Xiduo came to his senses, Zhao Ya had already helped Ma Xiaojiao remove her makeup and stood up.

Xiduo thought Zhao Ya was going to leave, so she knelt down in front of Zhao Ya and begged, "If the king leaves, it means he will not give my wife a chance to live. I beg the king to have pity on my wife!"

Zhao Ya frowned slightly!

First of all, Zhao Ya had no intention of leaving, otherwise, why would he personally send Ma Xiaojiao back?

Secondly, in Zhao Ya's opinion, even if he left at this point, it wouldn't be as serious as Xiduo said, right?

However, Zhao Ya quickly remembered that in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", when An Lingrong served the emperor for the first time, she was too nervous and was sent back by Emperor Yongzheng.

As a result, when the young eunuch carried An Lingrong back in the sedan chair, he bluntly said that this was an unlucky job. The next day, Concubine Hua also took the lead in mocking An Lingrong for "returning the jade intact to Zhao." Seeing An Lingrong so unpopular, the other servants also began to give her the cold shoulder.

This caused An Lingrong great psychological trauma. For An Lingrong, who came from a humble background, had extremely low self-esteem, and longed to change her fate, being rejected from the emperor's bedchamber was a great humiliation. Her self-esteem was severely trampled upon, and her low self-esteem was further exacerbated, leading to her darkening.

Although TV dramas have some artistic processing elements, Zhao Ya took into consideration that in this feudal society, women's lives in the family are indeed more cruel than men's, especially in the harem where there are many women.

Zhao Ya thought of the silly male protagonist in "So Young" again.

This made Zhao Ya, who was already feeling like a cat scratching his head and didn't want to miss the opportunity because of his hesitation and give others an opportunity to take advantage of him, simply give in and say: "Give me my nightgown."

Seeing that Zhao Ya chose to stay, Xiduo was overjoyed. She responded crisply, "Hey~!" and then trotted to get Zhao Ya's nightgown.

Ma Xiaojiao, who was standing by, panicked when she saw that Zhao Ya was going to sleep with her.

But thinking about what Zhang Chun and Xiduo said, and what she had experienced these days, Ma Xiaojiao has fully realized that in this feudal era, if a woman wants to accomplish something, she must have the support and protection of a strong man. Without the support and protection of a strong man, it would be difficult for a woman to achieve anything, let alone survive.

The key point is that although Zhao Ya is a native and there are many other women, to be honest, Ma Xiaojiao really fell in love with Zhao Ya. To be precise, Zhao Ya is the first man she has fallen in love with in two lives.

"Perhaps I am the most useless time traveler?"

"Or perhaps... I should forget that I'm a time traveler. If that happens, I might be able to fall into depravity with peace of mind..."
