Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 505: Flower Appreciation Banquet, Ladies Gather (2)
Qiu Mingyue shook her head with a chuckle, "Okay, my good sister, don't be angry, my sister was just joking with you. Didn't you just tell me about the internal situation of the Zhennan Palace? Why did you get involved with General Xu all of a sudden? Is it? Today is the palace's flower viewing banquet. I should be concerned about who came to the palace, and how I will deal with them one by one later, instead of caring about a strange and meaningless General Xu, do you know? "

Yu Wenxi pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "If you don't say it, you don't say it, hum."

Qiu Mingyue thought, although women in this era matured a bit earlier, Yu Wenxi was only twelve or thirteen years old, so when he talked about the heroes he admired and admired, he was naturally happy.

"I don't know anything else. But what I do know is that the children of aristocratic families get married relatively early. That major general is already 16 years old. I'm afraid old general Xu has already been worrying about his marriage. Xu Tianyou, as the imperial court The guard, it seems that he is very popular with the emperor, and he stays in the palace every day, so he may not be able to make decisions on his future marriage. Maybe the emperor will point out which princess to him."

Yu Wenxi's complexion changed, and then returned to normal.

"The biggest princess in the royal family is Feng Qingrou, who is only 13 years old this year. Besides, Concubine De wants her to marry my brother. Naturally, it is impossible for her to be with Yu Wenxi. What's more, her eyes are higher than the top, and she is about to marry the prince and grandson." Hou. Although Xu Tianyou is young and talented, but the first-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court is not a big official, at least in the eyes of her, an eldest princess, she is not worth mentioning at all, so she looks down on Xu Tianyou."

"Then there are other princesses? As far as I know, the second princess and the eldest princess are also of the same age."

Yu Wenxi's face was a bit ugly, and he said in a bad tone: "Feng Qingwan is hypocritical, hypocritical, with a duplicity, a gentle appearance, and a heart like a snake, Xu Tianyou will not fall in love with her. As for the other princesses, they are all little girls' movies. The emperor's uncle will not point out a little girl to the descendants of a loyal and patriotic general. At that time, even General Xu will not agree."

"You can see clearly."

Qiu Mingyue said something inexplicably.

"Of course."

Yu Wenxi was rather proud, "I have been in and out of the imperial palace since I was a child, and the emperor's uncle didn't have many heirs, apart from Feng Qingrou and Feng Qingwan, there is also a third princess, Feng Qingyu, and a fourth princess, Feng Qingyue. The two girls are only eight years old and the other nine years old, so they can't make a fortune. Besides, I know all the virtues of those princesses. They have nothing but the title of a princess."

Qiu Mingyue looked at her in surprise, "So you were prepared, no wonder you are so confident."

"Then..." Yu Wenxi was just about to feel complacent, but suddenly realized something was wrong, and turned to stare at Qiu Mingyue, with an unnatural expression on his face.

"Sister Mingyue, you made fun of me again, I ignore you."

Qiu Mingyue chuckled and shook her head, "You like that major general, there's nothing wrong with that, I understand. There's only the two of us here, are you still afraid of me telling the truth?"

Yu Wenxi didn't seem to expect that Qiu Mingyue didn't show any surprise or other expressions, but talked and laughed at Yan Yan instead, which made her a little surprised.

"Sister Mingyue, you... you don't realize that I..."

"Do you think you don't respect boudoir precepts and act like a prostitute, losing your dignity and face?" Qiu Mingyue sighed and patted her hand, "Although you are still young, at least you know what you want, I envy you. "

She looked into the distance, the luxuriant forest, the hidden pavilions, the heights were scattered, and there were laughter and laughter intermittently.

"Secular ethics, rules and etiquette are nothing more than shackles that bind women. Life is only a few decades, why make yourself so tired? It's better to follow your heart."

Yu Wenxi's eyes lit up, and she was a little excited.

"Sister Mingyue, you are really different, I really saw you right."

Qiu Mingyue turned back with a smile, "Although we have only met for the first time, I can tell that you are stubborn and jealous. You should not like to always run to the palace with your temperament. It is the Queen Mother who likes it very much." , to order you to enter the palace, you should not spend too much time in the palace. How can you know so much about the princes and princesses in the palace? .”

Yu Wenxi blushed, but looked at Qiu Mingyue calmly.

"So what? I like Xu Tianyou. I liked him three years ago. Since you found out, I won't hide it from you. Besides, there's nothing to hide. I don't think it's shameful. What's wrong with the girl ? Women should be inferior?"

She sneered, "The founding queen of a hundred years ago went to the battlefield to fight side by side with the emperor Shizu. Otherwise, how could there be today's Dazhao? Why do women have to be men's accessories? What are the three obediences and four virtues? I don't read about those. And What kind of defense between men and women, it's all bullshit, I like Xu Tianyou, I like it frankly, even if people find out, I'll say the same."

Qiu Mingyue was a little amazed at how reserved and shy she was, which was different from women in this era. It was really rare for her to dare to speak out her love for a man so frankly.After being amazed, she appreciated it a bit.

"Xixi, you are very unusual."

Yu Wenxi blinked, and said playfully, "What's unusual?"

Qiu Mingyue smiled sweetly, "I thought that the women of the aristocratic family were all carved out of wood from the same mold. They only knew poetry, book etiquette, three obediences and four virtues. Even if there are one or two slightly different, that's all. I didn't expect to see you today. It’s an eye-opener.”

She twirled a branch and leaf of the osmanthus tree next to her, smiling lightly but beautifully.

"From now on, I am no longer the only one who is so angry at the unequal patriarchy of this era."

Yu Wenxi's eyes brightened, "Sister Mingyue, do you agree with me?"

Qiu Mingyue nodded with a smile, "Actually, I'm very curious. To raise a unique girl like you, your parents must not be ordinary people."

"My parents?"

Yu Wenxi tilted his head and thought for a while, "My mother is the little princess of the royal family, and she has been loved by the emperor's grandmother and grandfather since she was a child, but my mother does not have the squeamishness and domineeringness of a princess, but is gentle and elegant, knowledgeable about books and etiquette, And beautiful and charming. I heard that when my father fell in love with my mother at first sight, he dragged his grandfather to ask the late emperor to marry him. My mother also admired my father's talent and appearance, so she married my father. My father and mother's feelings Excellent, love and harmony, never had any quarrels. After my mother married my father, my father never took concubines, and the two former house maids were kicked out of the mansion. Back then, my parents were from the capital The famous couple of gods and immortals are envious of others."

Qiu Mingyue was a little surprised, she thought it was rare for a man in this era to be as infatuated with Shen as the Elder Master.Unexpectedly, this Marquis of Pingyang has a stronger love for his wife than gold.It's no wonder that Yuwenxi can be taught ideas that are different from other ladies and run counter to the feudal ethics of this era.
