Zhongshun Wangfu.
After listening to the words of Duan Yu and Zhou Changshi, the old man's face changed drastically, and he finally thought of something more terrifying than the pox epidemic. He rushed back to the room with his robe in hand and ran to King Zhongshun who was on the sick bed. He avoided Princess Zhongshun and whispered to King Zhongshun.
The princess frowned, wondering what was going on that she couldn't find out.
However, the old eunuch's voice was very quiet, and she could only vaguely hear a few words intermittently.
"...Those who raise tigers...hold jade...true or false...should be punished..."
After hearing these few words, it became clear that the princess was talking about confidential matters. Looking at Master Thirteen's expression of uncertainty, the empress stood up and left the room with Master Thirteen, taking the maid and maid beside her.
When I arrived at the door, I saw two people kneeling in the front yard in the cold night wind.
Duan Yu, the second-class bodyguard of the palace, and Zhou Quan, the chief minister of the palace.
After looking up and down, he led everyone behind him back to the inner courtyard of the palace. On the way, the empress mentioned it casually. "Do you know what Jade Guards and Zhou Changshi are busy with these days? They want to spoil my mood at night."
Female officer Jiayi replied: "I don't know what I was busy with. I only know that after Lord Rong arrived that day, the Thirteenth Master summoned the two of them. The Jade Guards took the people out overnight, and Lord Chang Shi also summoned many people from the palace the next morning. The officials left. I haven’t heard of their return in the past few days.”
The princess's eyes slanted down and she said dissatisfied: "How important is it that the Thirteenth Master must come to the Prime Minister? The imperial doctors have already said that the Thirteenth Master can't stand the hard work anymore, but they still bother him with these things. .”
The female officer Jiayi did not dare to talk and silently helped the empress into the palace.
Not long after the empress sat down, she sighed quietly: "I suddenly missed my goddaughter. There were so many things going on in the palace these days, but I forgot that her eldest brother was one year old. Do you know what the child caught?"
The female officer Jiayi smiled and said: "Speaking of this, Sir Rong also made a joke and was scolded by his wife."
"oh?"
"My servant also heard from outsiders. It is said that the Ningguo Mansion picked up many things on the day they captured Zhou, not only the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, but also pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, account books, seals, Jewelry, flowers, rouge, food, toys, etc. Sir Pian Rong still felt that there were few things, so he picked swords and made a wooden musket toy and put it on the table."
"Swords, muskets?" The princess said softly.
"That's not the case. The family members also tried to persuade Sir Alex, but he said that the rest are unworthy of publicity and that real men should play with guns."
"What's so good about a gun?"
"Sir Rong really wanted my eldest brother to play with guns. He was originally sitting down and letting him crawl by himself, but he was making trouble and leading the child towards guns and swords."
"This bastard has broken the rules."
"Don't you know that Your Majesty has always been unruly? The grandmothers in the Ningguo Mansion were helpless. In the end, I heard that it was the Second Grandma Lian from the Xi Mansion who kicked him out of the room."
"What did you catch later?" Princess Zhongshun asked curiously.
"Zhou Zhou didn't make trouble with Sir Rong. I grabbed two things at once. A scripture and a seal. When Sir Rong went in and saw it, he was so angry that he said something like, 'It's over, it's over, we're going to do it.'" A nerdy official fan.' and the like. He also teased the current Sima Jia, saying, 'This little guy is going to become the second Jia Sima. I should have known better'..."
"What?"
"The following words are indecent and may only taint your ears."
"If there is anything indecent, just say it."
Jiayi hesitated for a moment and then whispered: "Your Majesty said that if he had known better, he would have shot at the wall."
"..." The princess was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then her face turned faintly red. He scolded: "This bastard, he should have been caught and beaten last time he came here."
Jiayi said hurriedly: "I don't know whether this is true or not, but it's just a rumor in Beijing."
After hearing this, Princess Zhongshun thought for a moment. "It's good to be a scholar," he said. "Select some books from the palace's collection and give them to the eldest brother of Ningguofu. Let him study hard and be a scholar for the rest of his life."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence all around.
The female officer Jiayi looked at her empress in confusion, waiting for the next instructions, but she did not wait.
Just in time. A young eunuch rushed over from outside and said, "The prince was furious in the palace and ordered Eunuch Dong to return to the village to retire."
Princess Zhongshun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He ordered: "The collection of books will be sent to Ningguo Mansion tomorrow, and then return to the palace with me."
Today's Zhongshun Prince's Mansion is destined to not be too peaceful.
At this time, the Conglv Hall of Ningguo Mansion was not peaceful either.
Uncle Rong knew nothing about what happened in the Zhongshun Palace tonight. When he faced the question from Princess Beijing County, he replied: "A society must have rules. However, rules can never be truly fair and will always harm some people. Right. My aunt can still come to Jia's house from the palace to stay as a guest, but the women outside don't even leave their own homes."
"What is the purpose of this rule?" the princess asked, "just like this expensive tea, only with specific water, specific water temperature, and specific brewing method can you taste its true taste. If there is no such specific Water? Just like Rong Geer, add fresh milk and sugar, the taste is also very good. "
"Do women have to stay in the boudoir to take care of their husbands and children, and do embroidery?" The princess looked at Brother Rong quietly, as if waiting for an answer.
Brother Rong was a little confused by her gaze. He replied in a low voice: "It has always been the case that men take charge of the outside world and women take charge of the house. Women at home do not just look after their husbands, raise their children, and do embroidery."
"Why can't women just walk out on the streets? Why can't they go wherever they want? Do whatever they want to do?"
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
This is an extremely huge proposition, and Rong Geer realizes that he cannot come back from it. Sansan said: "Maybe two hundred years from now, women will be as free as men. Even more than two hundred years later, men will still have to please women for a lot of time."
"Two hundred years...I can't see it." The princess paused and asked, "How can you be sure that things that have not changed for a thousand years will change in two hundred years."
Because in two hundred years, the entire world will undergo earth-shaking changes, and these changes will affect all major countries.
"Hasn't Auntie heard that I have been in heaven?"
"Heaven?"
"In heaven, everyone is equal. There are no slaves or maids, and personal rights are supreme."
"You are deceiving the public with your evil words." The princess saw the maid next to her brighten up after hearing Brother Rong's words, and couldn't help but curse.
"..."
Brother Rong thought that the princess of the county was not the same. She wanted to have the rights and privileges of the upper class of feudal society, but did not want to be trapped in the boudoir by the feudal system. He couldn't help but laugh at himself. He was also very reluctant to part with the privileges he had now.
I heard the princess sigh quietly. "If that's the case, it's not bad."
It was a surprise to him.
Then the princess said: "I remember there is a lot of good wine in Conglutang. Let's warm the wine for Brother Rong. Tonight, I will tell you in detail what I have seen in heaven."
