Chapter 301: Three obediences and four virtues, heresy
As soon as this sentence finished, a cold voice came from the side: "If Miss Rong wants to learn martial arts, you can find me. What can I do to embarrass the eldest princess?"
Everyone in the pavilion turned to look.
A tall and slender woman walked over, without even a maid. She was alone, holding a curled whip in her hand.
"Xuanxuan, do you still dare to come?" Rong Ning's face turned cold as if seeing an enemy, "I haven't settled the debts from the past few days with you yet."
The woman's name is Xuan Xuan, the concubine of General Xuan. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has a fierce temperament. In Shengjing, a place where women are expected to be gentle and respectful, she is like an alternative, so she is very marginalized by men.
In addition, she was born as a concubine.
Men both looked down upon her origins and disliked her rudeness. Therefore, Xuan Xuan was belittled and ridiculed by men without restraint. Even some noble ladies who considered themselves proud and aloof disdained to associate with her, always thinking that she had lost their womanhood. face.
But Xuan Xuan never forgives others, just don't let her know when you laugh behind your back.
If someone confronts her, she will be whipped.
Fortunately, her father is a general, and the Xuan family is trusted by the queen, so no one dares to do anything to her even if there is a big fuss, and those men with bad mouths can suffer the consequences of being dumb.
"Your Highness, the eldest princess." Xuan Xuan walked up to the pavilion and bowed respectfully to Yan Li, "The eldest princess is a thousand years old."
Yan Li's eyes fell on the face of this heroic woman, and the corner of her mouth raised slightly: "No need to be polite."
Rong Ning gritted his teeth and cursed: "Flattery."
Yan Li and Xuan Xuan turned to look at her at the same time, and then in full view of everyone, Xuan Xuan walked over, raised her hand and slapped her.
"What are you doing?" Rong Ning jumped up, covered his face and glared at Xuan Xuan, "Are you looking for death?"
Xuanxuan looked at her coldly: "This is a normal salute to the eldest princess, but behind your back you say that I am a flatterer. Dare I ask Miss Rong, if the emperor and his subjects are polite and flattery, does it mean that you have no monarch at all?" "
"You're talking nonsense!" Rong Ning's face changed and he denied it subconsciously.
"Then you deliberately arranged it, and it was unfair." Xuanxuan's eyes were cold, "Can you tell me, what part of your behavior just now is flattering?"
"놖...놖..." A look of panic appeared on Rong Ning's face, and he turned to look at Yan Li.
Yan Li raised her eyebrows slightly: "I would like to know, this princess, how does Miss Xuan's behavior sound like flattery?"
Rong Ning bit his lip and was about to apologize, but Qi Yao took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, Xuan Xuan and Rong Ning have been at odds before. What Rong Ning said was based on Xuan Xuan's previous behavior. , It’s not that her salute to the eldest princess is flattering.”
Rong Ning's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately: "Yes, I am not saying that her behavior today is flattering, but that she has always been a person who flatters the superior and disdains the inferior! Moreover, Xuan Xuan was born in a humble background and was the concubine of General Xuan. My daughter has a terrible reputation in Shengjing! If the eldest princess doesn’t believe it, you might as well ask other people present and don’t be fooled by her disguise.”
"That's right." Qi Yao was the first to nod, "As a woman, she should be well-educated, courteous and meek, but Xuan Xuan is not only rude and uneducated, but also superior to men in every way. She -"
Yan Li interrupted her: "Miss Qi likes to be oppressed by men?"
Qi Yao was stunned: "Elder...Your Highness the eldest princess?"
"This princess is asking you a question." Yan Li said indifferently, "Do you think that men are noble and women are inferior to others, so it is natural that they should be oppressed by men?"
Qi Yao froze and stood up unconsciously, her pretty face flushed slightly: "I abide by the rules, abide by the etiquette, understand the duties of a woman, and know what the three obediences and four virtues are. She is not as deviant as Xuan Xuan, and she still hopes for the future. The princess is aware."
"That's right." Yan Li nodded slowly, as if he agreed with her words, "It's a pity that this princess is a deviant, so when you slander her later, will you take her with her?"
Qi Yao's expression suddenly changed and she looked up at Yan Li in disbelief.
Yan Li raised his eyebrows and looked at her, looking calm and content.
"Elder... How can the eldest princess be compared with Xuan Xuan?" Qi Yao lowered her head, feeling angry and dissatisfied, but maintaining respect on her face, "Xuan Xuan is the concubine of General Xuan. The eldest princess has a distinguished status, and a minister must never Dare to slander.”
"What you are slandering is not this deviant behavior, but her identity as a concubine?"
Qi Yao paused for a moment, his face mixed with blue and white: "놖..."
"Actually, Miss Qi is dissatisfied with the eldest princess." Xuan Xuan stood aside and added, "It's her identity as the eldest princess that makes her dare not slander her."
Chu Qinqin nodded: "놖껩 agrees with what Miss Xuan said, Qi Yao just wants to slander the eldest princess."
"No!" Qi Yao turned pale and looked at Xuan Xuan and Chu Qinqin angrily, "What are your intentions for spitting blood?"
"You are spitting blood?" Xuan Xuan sneered, "Didn't you just propose that the eldest princess compete with Rong Ning? Why, do you think Rong Ning is already noble enough to be on an equal footing with the eldest princess?"
Qi Yao was speechless by her words, but the suggestion just now was indeed made by her.
Worried about causing Yan Li's dissatisfaction, Qi Yao was able to kneel down and said, "I know my mistake. Please forgive me, the eldest princess."
Rong Ning looked at this scene, which was obviously beyond his expectation, and suddenly became restless, his face turning green and white.
"Rongning." Xuan Xuan looked at her provocatively, "Don't you want to compete? In front of the princess, do you dare to have a private competition with her?"
Rongning bit her lip in anger, and wanted to ask her: "Are you worthy?"
However, even though she was extremely dissatisfied, she did not dare to act recklessly in the palace.
The princess who just came back was stupid and rebellious. She defended Xuan Xuan, a concubine, without knowing right or wrong. She had no brains at all. Sooner or later, she would be backfired by her own stupidity and ignorance.
"You are not feeling well today." Rongning picked up the teacup to cover up her gaffe. "Let's have a competition another day. Besides, today is the princess's flower-viewing banquet. What's the point of showing off in the palace?"
Xuan Xuan sneered: "If you are not as good as others, just admit it generously. Don't make so many excuses."
As soon as the voice fell, a figure hurriedly walked over on the corridor in the distance: "Princess."
Yan Li turned her head to look.
The person who came was Yunsi, a female official beside the queen. She was beautiful and calm in a red robe. From a distance, she looked calm and composed.
"Princess." Walking into the pavilion, Yunsi bowed to Yanli and then reported slowly, "General Xuan and Prime Minister Ji have already brought the Kang family back. The concubines in Kang Zixu's backyard suddenly changed their minds and said that they followed Kang Zixu willingly, and it was not that the Kang family forcibly occupied good women. So they asked the emperor and the queen to spare the Kang family. Several ministers in the Qinzheng Hall were arguing fiercely. The queen asked the princess to go over."
