Yaohua Palace, backyard.
There are promenade pavilions, rockery and flowing water, water pavilions and terraces, lotus pond gardens, everything you expect to find.
The Princess family lives here.
The maid named Xiao He brought Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin Er into the small courtyard.
in the courtyard.
Nangong Xueyi, who was wearing a plain white dress, was holding a vase and folding flower branches.
At this time of year, winter plum blossoms are in full bloom.
"Sister Xueyi."
Second Miss Qin yelled softly and walked over.
Seeing the two of them, Nangong Xueyi immediately showed a smile on his face, like a blooming snow plum in his hand, beautiful and moving.
"Why are you here?"
She put the plum blossoms into the vase in her hand and greeted her with a smile.
Second Miss Qin took her hand and said with a smile: "Come and see you. By the way, I brought you the rest of the story from last time."
Then he turned his head and said softly, "Brother Qingzhou."
Luo Qingzhou hurried over, holding a stack of thick rice paper in his hand.
Nangong Xueyi looked at him and said in surprise: "Wei Mo, you are so generous, you have brought your brother Qingzhou here. If this is the case, I will not only read the story from last time, but at least keep him Three days and three nights here."
Second Miss Qin smiled: "As long as Brother Qingzhou agrees, Weimo has no objections."
Luo Qingzhou quickly handed over the rice paper in his hand, and said: "The princess will read these first, and after I finish reading, I will write other stories for you."
Nangong Xueyi took a deep look at him, took the rice paper, was silent for a while, and said: "Meijiao is practicing martial arts in the backyard, you can go."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I'll go and greet the princess first."
Nangong Xueyi smiled and said: "No need, just let Wei Mo go. It's not convenient for Mother to be on the bed."
Luo Qingzhou understood, nodded, and walked along the corridor to the back.
Nangong Xueyi brought Miss Qin Er into the house.
The maid made tea.
Second Miss Qin asked with concern: "How is Auntie's injury?"
Nangong Xueyi sighed softly: "The injury is not serious, His Majesty came here to help treat it in person. It's just... Mother feels uncomfortable..."
Second Miss Qin was silent.
"Come on, go in and have a look, and talk to her."
Nangong Xueyi put down the vase, took her hand, and entered the back room.
Luo Qingzhou got off the corridor.
Passing through a round door, a faint fragrance of flowers came to the nostrils.
On the open grass in the garden.
A tall girl in a white shirt and black dress, with a high ponytail and a long black whip in her hand, was practicing whipping.
Under the orange sun.
Her delicate cheeks were glistening with sweat, and the few strands of hair at the temples had already been soaked in sweat and stuck to her cheeks.
As she moved lightly, the ponytail behind her danced happily, and around her slender waist, black ribbon knots fluttered and fluttered; , forming a moving arc.
When those slender and straight legs were lifted up, the black skirt bloomed like flower petals.
She is still so charming.
It's just that on that delicate cheek, it seems that there is no former ease and arrogance, but more heaviness and determination.
Luo Qingzhou stood in the big tree, watching silently.
"Shh!"
After a while.
The shadow of the whip flying all over the sky suddenly condensed into a single strand and flew towards him.
Luo Qingzhou didn't move.
He just tilted his body slightly and dodged it.
Nangong Meijiao stood in front of him holding a long whip, her towering chest undulating, her temple hair fluttering slightly, she looked at him expressionlessly.
Luo Qingzhou also looked at her silently.
After half an hour.
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly and said, "Why don't you talk? Do you think I'm like a bereaved dog?"
Luo Qingzhou approached her, reached out his hand, and wanted to hold her little hand.
She avoided it suddenly, with tears in her eyes.
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a while, and said: "Master, if you are not used to living here, you can move to the Qin Mansion. Everyone in the Qin Mansion will welcome you."
Tears welled up in Nangong Meijiao's eyes, she sneered and said, "Everyone will welcome me? Do you have pity on me?"
Luo Qingzhou didn't speak again.
He knew how she was feeling at the moment, so no matter what emotions she had, he let her vent.
The tears in Nangong Meijiao's eyes suddenly rolled down.
"Since your Qin family has a close relationship with the eldest princess, my father has told me many times that the palace cannot stand in line... until after the eldest princess ascended the throne, my father still said that. He originally hoped that we would be as neutral as other palaces. After all, the eldest princess is a daughter...but, because of me..."
She choked with tears and said, "Luo Qingzhou, do you know? Before the eldest princess got married, she called me to the palace and told me that she could marry her husband together... I don't want to be a dowry, I didn’t agree, but I was very conflicted in my heart... After she became the throne, she said this sentence to me again, and she told me that she already knew your identity... I know, if you hesitate, you will never have another chance ...So I made up my mind, and then I went to tell my father and mother that I like you and want to marry you..."
Speaking of this, she squatted on the ground with tears all over her face: "My father discussed with my mother all night, and the next day, my father went to court, and then tried my best to help the eldest princess and win over other princes and kings... Then, something like this happened..."
"It was me, I killed him..."
At the end, she cried bitterly.
Luo Qingzhou squatted in front of her and held her in his arms.
"Woooo..."
The crying went on for a long time.
Gradually, she lost her strength and leaned into his arms, calming down.
Another long time passed.
She Fang said softly: "I don't blame you... My mother told me that my father also thinks that the eldest princess is the most suitable candidate for emperor, except for being a daughter. My father approves of the eldest princess in his heart, but he is afraid I am ashamed of my ancestors, so I have been hesitating."
"I am his daughter, and he made up his mind for me. My mother said, he is very proud... My mother also said, seeing the tricks you made for the eldest princess, my father was very excited, and told my mother that this time The eldest princess can definitely win..."
"Father also praised you, saying that you are a genius..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly laughed again: "It's a pity that my father didn't know that the genius he praised was actually Chu Feiyang who I told him that I would not marry him... If my father knew, the two geniuses were actually It's just a person, I don't know what expression it will be...he must be proud and happy for me."
She was leaning in his arms, smiling and talking, but tears were flowing silently.
"Brother Qingzhou, can I call you Brother Qingzhou now? If the father has a spirit in the sky, he will be very happy to see His Majesty use your strategy to make the princes of the Seven Kingdoms lose without a fight..."
Luo Qingzhou hugged her tightly.
Slowly, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally, she fell asleep in his arms.
Luo Qingzhou slowly picked her up.
Turning around, he found Miss Qin Er and Princess Xueyi standing at the round door, watching him quietly.
Nangong Xueyi hurriedly said softly: "Come with me."
Luo Qingzhou hugged the princess and followed behind her.
After putting the princess in his room, he was about to leave, Nangong Xueyi whispered: "Don't go, just sit here and wait for her to wake up. Weimo and I have to go to His Majesty's place."
Second Miss Qin said softly: "Your Majesty called us over. Brother Qingzhou, please spend more time with Sister Meijiao here."
Luo Qingzhou nodded.
Nangong Xueyi led Miss Qin Er to leave, and closed the door for him.
Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually going away.
Luo Qingzhou's eyes turned to the girl sleeping soundly on the bed with tears, thinking about the scene of that night, the fists in her sleeves were slowly clenched.
In the body, on the root of the thunder spirit, there are three lightning bolts, flickering continuously.
He went over to help her close the curtain.
Immediately, he walked to the corner of the room and sat down on the blanket, took out the spiritual liquid, and dripped it on his palm.
Then, entered the state of cultivation.
Outside the window, the sun rose slowly into the sky.
Nangong Huoyue returned to the study of Yaohua Palace after the morning court.
Soon.
Yue Wu's respectful voice sounded outside: "Your Majesty, Princess Xueyi and Miss Qin's family are here."
Nangong Huoyue put down the memorial in her hand, and Wen asked, "What about him?"
Yue Wu said: "It's in Princess Meijiao's room at the back. Princess Meijiao cried for a long time and fell asleep, and he stayed there."
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a while, and said, "Let them in."
After a while.
The door opened, and Nangong Xueyi and Miss Qin Er respectfully said at the door: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Nangong Huoyue said warmly: "Xueyi, Weimo, come in."
Second Miss Qin was slightly taken aback when she heard this address, and walked in together with Princess Xueyi.
"Don't be too polite, sit down."
Nangong Huoyue's demeanor was gentle, and her tone became very gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze.
When Miss Qin Er was still hesitating, Nangong Xueyi had already pulled her to sit down, and said softly: "Weimo, this is not a hall, so don't be cautious."
Second Miss Qin said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nangong Huoyue looked at her delicate and lovely appearance, smiled slightly, and said, "Wei Mo, have you been in better health since you came to the capital?"
Miss Qin Er said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, it's much better."
Nangong Huoyue smiled and said, "Sir, you should be very fond of you, right? I heard that in order to find medicine for you, he left many calligraphy treasures in Jinchan Temple and Qingyun Temple that can be handed down through the ages."
Although Jinchan Temple and Qingyun Temple have been tightly sealed off about this matter, she still has a way to know.
Second Miss Qin said softly: "Brother Qing Zhou really loves Wei Mo very much."
Immediately, she sighed softly again, glanced at the books "Dayan Ritual Law" and "Marriage Law" on the table, and mourned: "Unfortunately, Wei Mo is too weak to serve him well, Wei Mo feels very guilty." I've been thinking about it, hoping to find another good wife for Brother Qingzhou..."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the room.
Nangong Xueyi at the side suddenly said: "Wei Mo, don't say that. You are his legitimate wife, even if you marry another one, you can only be a concubine. Even if the other party is beautiful and good at serving others, I still have to call you elder sister."
Nangong Huoyue glanced at her, and said, "Wei Mo, don't you and your husband have a bridal chamber yet?"
Second Miss Qin said in a low voice: "Not yet, Wei Mo is sick and unable to bridal chamber for the time being, so she is in a hurry to find another wife for Brother Qing Zhou. Wei Mo can't fulfill the responsibility of being a wife. I am very guilty, so even if I am a concubine, I am willing..."
Nangong Xueyi frowned slightly, and still wanted to speak, Nangong Huoyue suddenly said: "That's not acceptable, there are regulations in the "Dayan Ritual Law" and "Marriage Law". As a regular wife, how could it be possible to change from a wife to a concubine. Wei Mo, you don’t have to worry, your health will definitely recover. As for finding another... wife for your husband..."
After a pause, she picked up the "Great Yan Ritual Law" from the table, frowned slightly and said, "I came to you today to discuss with you about amending the regulations on the marriage of men and women in the "Great Yan Ritual Law". The next time I was a guest in the Qin Mansion, I heard Mr.'s words, and I felt deafened, and felt that we should fight for some freedom of marriage for women."
"Those words ordered by parents and matchmakers really need to be revised."
"As for the regulations on wives and concubines, I also feel that they are a bit too harsh. If you really love each other and both men and women are willing, I think that those regulations should not be so dead... What kind of concubine is like a slave? A concubine can divorce at will, and even Things like exchanging with others and sending them out, as well as having multiple wives and concubines, have to be revised."
As soon as this word comes out.
Nangong Xueyi was the first to clap her hands, and said excitedly and angrily: "Your Majesty, Xueyi has wanted to tell you about this for a long time! We women are also human beings, how can we be so humble in marriage? Let those concubines be like slaves, concubines can All the ghost regulations for giving away and exchanging should die!"
Nangong Huoyue looked at Second Miss Qin.
Second Miss Qin lowered her head slightly, and said: "Everything is up to His Majesty. Wei Mo also feels that there are many regulations in the etiquette law, which are indeed harsh and need to be revised."
A smile appeared on Nangong Huoyue's face.
"However, the current etiquette has been deeply rooted and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people after all, so the reform should not be rushed. When the time comes, let's start with families in the inner city of Kyoto and see the effect first."
she said again.
Miss Qin Er couldn't help but glanced at her.
