Fast time travel: Veteran Green Tea is showing off his acting skills again

Chapter 224 The Three Princesses of Master Qin’s Family 2
It was half a month after entering Haitang City.

Unable to withstand Xia Ling's begging, Xia Jincheng finally compromised under the premise that Xia Ren unanimously promised that he would stay by Xia Ling's side to protect her.

A carload of people, a carload of treasures, and two high-quality horses marched through the gate of the palace.

Hearing that Xia Jincheng, the lord of Yunxia City, was coming, the emperor specially ordered all the palace people to come out to greet him. The huge formation was enough to show how much the emperor attached importance to Xia Jincheng.

Xia Ren was left outside the main hall, and Xia Ling was brought into the hall by Xia Jincheng.

As soon as the middle-aged emperor in the palace saw Xia Jincheng approaching, he summoned Xia Jincheng to sit down like an old friend.

"It's not easy for the city lord Xia to come here once. In the past years, I wanted to invite the city lord to come to the imperial city for a gathering, but the city lord always refused in every possible way, which hurt my heart. But now he came uninvited and brought a lot of treasures. It really makes me happy." The emperor patted the armrest of the chair to greet his father, and his eyes fell on Xia Ling unconsciously, so he could probably know Xia Ling's identity without guessing.

It's just that when he saw Xia Ling, the smile on his face disappeared a lot.

Now that Yunxia Mountain has a lot of power, could it be that he wants to marry his daughter into Northern Chu, in a vain attempt to divide the country of Northern Chu?

Xia Jincheng took Xia Ling's hand and asked her to kneel down with him, "Your Majesty, this time the old minister came to plead guilty to His Majesty. On the day of the third princess' marriage, His Majesty ordered the old minister to protect the princess well. On the way, the princess was replaced by a thief, and the thief was caught and ran away by the thief because of negligence. Fortunately, the princess came back unscathed. Otherwise, if the old minister came today, what he brought would not be a treasure, but an old minister. head."

Hearing Xia Jincheng calling himself an "veteran" one by one, the emperor smiled again.

"City Lord Xia and I are not a relationship between a monarch and a minister, but also my benefactor. The Xia family has protected our Duan family ancestors for generations, how can we be worshiped by the city lord? City lord, please get up, all this is a misunderstanding. It was the third princess who planned everything from the marriage. Running away on the road is not a thief. I have taught her a lesson, and the city lord is not guilty." The emperor raised his finger and pointed to the palace maid and eunuch standing beside him, "Why don't you help the city lord up quickly?"

"Your Majesty really flattered his ministers. The world belongs to His Majesty alone. If His Majesty can set aside a clean land and reward old ministers with freedom from generation to generation, how can I not be grateful for His Majesty's gift?"

Xia Jincheng was helped up by the eunuch, with a shy expression on his face, "Your Majesty, this is the minister's little girl, Ling'er. I am ashamed to say that I do have other matters this time, and I want to ask Your Majesty. My daughter is not sensible, so I don't know what she saw. I have been thinking about it for a few days, and I want to study in Bailiu Academy. The old minister knows that there are no girls in our Northern Chu Academy, let alone the imperial court. But that day, the little girl said that she would like to serve Northern Chu in the future, so..."

The emperor tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers, and his eyes fell on Xia Ling who was still kneeling on the ground, "Therefore, you want me to set a precedent for the city lord's daughter?"

Xia Jincheng lowered his head, not daring to answer.

The emperor laughed, "Then ask her to talk about it herself, why did she want to be an official in the court, and how did she want to serve Northern Chu?"

Xia Ling raised her head. The small world had seen too many emperors in the past, and she wasn't afraid at all.

A pair of eyes looked straight at the emperor, thinking about how to say this.

From the emperor's words, it can be heard that he is somewhat afraid of Yunxia Mountain.

Her own words represent her father's words, and if she speaks loudly, it means that her father has taught her a lot on weekdays. The speaker has no intention of listening to it.

Xia Ling replied: "Your Majesty. Didn't the ancients say that a woman is virtuous if she has no talent? People like women don't want to be restrained. Naturally, there are no women who are good at virtue. They can only work hard towards it. Moreover, women feel that what women can do is not only to procreate and manage the family. If women can also enter the academy, they may not necessarily be worse than men. If women can also enter official careers, they may be worse than men. Seriously! Although there is no such precedent in previous dynasties, it does not mean that women have no ambitions and ambitions. There have been female generals who killed eight hundred enemies at once, and there were also women who put on armor for their father, brother and husband. Although they are helpless at the moment However, it has left a name in history and was a pillar of the country. If His Majesty is willing to set this precedent, many women will be grateful to His Majesty and surrender to His Majesty's wisdom even more."

The emperor chuckled when he heard this, but his eyes were still extremely sharp, "You mean, you want to be a female general like those ancestors who were in command in armor?"

Xia Ling said: "Let's avoid it. Minnv doesn't want to. Minnv can't learn the kung fu of Daddy calling Minnv, and she always has to be whipped. Minnv wants to solve the case, and wants to get rid of the cases that have accumulated dust and can't be solved. Find out, find out the truth, work for His Majesty, and restore the people's innocence. There is still one thing that the daughter of the people wants to say."

The emperor raised his chin slightly, "It's okay for you to say."

"Both women and men are His Majesty's subjects. Since ancient times, women have lived under prejudiced views. I don't want women to change, let alone women to be superior to men. I just want women to have more rights. For example, they can choose to marry. People, instead of having to follow the orders of their parents. For example, women can have the right to speak, instead of only speaking to their children and the inner house. Women can make the decisions for their own destiny. This is the dream of women."

Although her words were all cliche, they couldn't fault her too much and they showed her own thoughts.

As soon as Xia Ling's words fell, a person rushed over beside her, kneeling beside her with the wind.

"Father! This is also the daughter's wish!"

Xia Ling turned his head to look at the people around him, and saw that the woman's appearance was as delicate and agile as a lotus, with countless golden jade hairpins on her head, and they collided with each other as she moved.

This is the heroine, the three princesses of Northern Chu, Princess Shaosheng, and Duan Hangrou.

Oval face, peach blossom eyes with autumn moon eyebrows, snow-skinned cherry mouth, there is a lot of warmth of women in this era between the brows, and more firmness and stubbornness that others don't have.

Standard heroine face.

As soon as he saw her coming, the emperor's face turned gloomy and he shouted angrily: "Shaosheng, you are getting more and more ridiculous! I am currently waiting for distinguished guests. How can you break into the hall without permission?!"

"Even if the father wanted my daughter's life, my daughter doesn't want to miss this opportunity! This..." Duan Hangrou turned to look at Xia Ling with hesitant eyes, "What this girl said is what my daughter thinks My daughter wants to go to Bailiu Academy, wants to study, and wants to realize her burden! My brothers can go to battle and kill the enemy, and I want to share the burden for my father. I always fail in the final palace exam, and my daughter has no regrets. If my father can treat each other fairly , even if the daughter is assigned a very small position, the daughter will do her best! If the brothers do not want to, the daughter will testify that she will not covet the throne, let alone fight for it. The daughter wants to serve the people Doing things, I don’t want to be a pampered useless princess in the palace!”
