Shen Qingxu was savoring her favorite dishes with relish. She looked up and found Mu Yunzhou staring at the scene outside the window motionlessly.
Shen Qingxu was puzzled and continued to eat. Mu Yunzhou turned his head to look at Shen Qingxu who was eating and began to daydream again.
Shen Qingxu ate with a contented look on his face, his little cheeks puffy, just like a little white cat that he once loved very much. He looked so adorable.
Mu Yunzhou wanted to touch her little face, and for some reason he reached out and pinched her face, which was smooth and tender.
Shen Qingxu looked at Mu Yunzhou's actions in confusion, then pulled Mu Yunzhou's hand away and glared at him unhappily: "Do you want to die? Do you want me to beat you up? You treated me to a meal and pinched my cheek!"
"I see there's sauce on your face." Mu Yunzhou explained awkwardly. Shen Qingxu's cheek looked like a peeled egg.
"Don't pinch my face anymore, humph!"
Mu Yunzhou lowered his head guiltily. He didn't expect that he ended up taking action just by thinking about it.
But the little girl's face is quite nice to pinch and feels good.
But she felt like a pervert. Seeing that Shen Qingxu ignored her, she knew that Shen Qingxu, a fool, probably didn't take it to heart.
Yuanbao was frightened when he saw the young master reaching out to pinch the princess's face. Is this something the young master could do?
Fortunately, the princess was in a good mood today. Looking at Yilan beside her, the maid who always beat and scolded her had a blank expression on her face.
It was quiet all around, with only the sound of two people eating quietly.
Suddenly, voices were heard from next door.
Gongsun Jiayan said to Yang Huai earnestly, "Brother Yang, you never understand why I treat the princess like this."
Yang Huai asked: "I really don't understand, nor do I comprehend, but as a friend, I still want to advise you."
"You do not understand."
"this......"
"Last year, I passed the entrance exam to Daliang Academy and went back to attend the thank-you ceremony for my teacher."
"You know that Rui'an Academy has a rule that students cannot fight privately. Even the students who often follow the princess provoked her, saying that she is a girl who can't even fight."
"The princess applied to the master for the qualification to be in the martial arts arena, and then she knocked down the troublemaker. She also said something shocking to everyone, asking them to stop being prejudiced against women. Women can do the same as men. Women can do the same as men. Restricting women is just because they are afraid that women will be stronger than men, so they restrain women. Men and women should be equal."
"There are many women who are as capable as men, so don't misunderstand women and acknowledge their value. Nowadays, we in Daliang are promoting gender equality everywhere, and many women have made contributions to the country. We should put aside our prejudices."
"I have lived in Yucheng with my mother, brothers and sisters since I was a child. My mother and sister have put in a lot of effort and sweat to make it to the capital from the branch of the Gongsun family in Yucheng. Even so, after coming to the capital, my brother lives a better life in the family because he is a male. However, my mother and sister are not respected in the Gongsun family."
"But since the Empress Dowager encouraged women to leave the harem and become self-reliant, my mother has also found her value. Now she is no longer confined to the harem as before, and only dares to make some handicrafts to sell privately. My sister has also been blessed and entered the Rui'an Academy to study. She said that she wants to enter the Qiuchi Academy in the future to learn a skill and take the examination for a female official."
Gongsun Jiayan said in one breath: "I am a man, it is difficult for me to empathize with my mother and sister's pain and unwillingness. When the princess said that day, I felt that the depression that had been suppressed in my heart disappeared, as if she knew about my mother's change and relief. The princess seemed to be glowing that day, and her look was high spirits. She should be such a different existence. Very dazzling, sincere and kind, unforgettable."
"She was not good at studying, but she never gave up on herself like other students. She respected her teacher, treated others politely, and never used her power to bully her classmates."
Yang Huai fell into deep thought after listening to his words, wondering whether he should change his view of women. His fiancée also often whispered these things in his ears.
She said: "Mothers contribute as much as fathers do in the family, so why can't mothers always be treated well?"
"A woman's value is not just about bearing children and taking care of the house."
"In fact, the role of mothers is crucial in their long lives, but why are people always unwilling to acknowledge the value of mothers and women?"
"Are you afraid that you can't beat a woman?"
"I'm still afraid that women no longer need me."
“Why can’t men do what women can do?”
He initially thought that Qiao Enxiu's attitude towards Shen Qingxu that day was due to her status as a princess. But with what Gongsun Jiayan said today, it seemed that Qiao Enxiu really wanted to make friends with Shen Qingxu.
Upon hearing this, Yang Huai also said: "We should respect our mothers and the women around us."
"Brother Yang is indeed broad-minded."
"What happened next?" Yang Huai asked.
Gongsun Jiayan continued, "Lin Qing from Rui'an often bullies his classmates in the academy. I claim to be just a nerd, and I really can't do anything about such a scoundrel. Lin Qing confronted the princess, and she was afraid, so she asked me to help. I know Lin Qing's purpose."
"That day, Lin Qing actually wanted the princess to be his maid. Later, we had a poetry duel. Whoever won would fulfill the bet. If I had known in advance that it was such a contest, I would never have agreed. I didn't expect the princess to be so clever and ask unexpected questions. Haha! She stumped me as soon as she opened her mouth. I couldn't use a single word of the poetry I had in my head." Everyone asked, "What question stumped you?"
Gongsun Jiayan said, "The princess asked me implicitly: How many legs does a grasshopper have?"
Yang Huai laughed: "Hahahaha...it's not surprising that Brother Gongsun can't answer this question."
"The princess is really cute."
"I didn't expect that on the way south, I would meet the princess at the same inn, so I went to visit her. Since we were going the same way, my servant and I followed her to investigate the case, and I learned a lot in the process."
"Unconsciously, I have learned a lot about the princess. The most thrilling time, I hope Brother Yang will not tell others about this."
"Brother Gongsun, don't worry. I know."
"That day the princess was taken away by an assassin and I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, the princess was gone. I knew I had caused a big disaster and was extremely anxious. Later, I went with Master Mu and the others to find the princess. I had no martial arts skills so I could only wait at the door. When I saw that no one had come out, I was worried and went into the dark room. There I saw an assassin who wanted to hurt the princess. I was so scared at the time that my mind went blank and I subconsciously rushed over to block the knife. Now thinking back, I was really brave at that time." Gongsun Jiayan recalled.
"I didn't expect Brother Gongsun to be so courageous." Yang Huai praised. No wonder the princess was so polite to Gongsun Jiayan.
"Haha, I am often scolded by my younger sister as a useless scholar who dares not even kill chickens or fish, but at that time I was trying to stop a chariot with my bare hands."
"I don't know why I blocked the knife like that at that time. I just wanted to prevent the princess from getting hurt."
Shen Qingxu curled her lips when she heard this. Her sister said that Gongsun Jiayan wanted to atone for his sins with his merits, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that Gongsun Jiayan did not do anything big wrong, so now they should be even.
"Later, I was so scared by the bloody wound that kept flowing that I said I could still be saved. Maybe it was my survival instinct, and I hoped someone would save me! Now that I think about it, how could they possibly give up on me?"
"So you fell in love with the princess just like that?"
“I don’t know when love started, nor do I know where it will end…”
Seeing his friend like this, Yang Huai asked, "Didn't Brother Gongsun say in the past that your life partner must be a woman who can accompany you and discuss poetry with you, and also said that she must have a gentle temperament and a demure appearance? Why did you break the rule now?"
"Brother Yang, please don't laugh at me. I rarely met women in the past, and I thought my ideal partner was a beauty like the ones in the books, a woman who shared the same hobbies with me, or a gentle temperament, or well-educated and well-mannered."
"I used to think that I should find a gentle and quiet woman who shares the same preferences as me, but the princess broke into my heart and I realized that I like that person. I would like her no matter what she is like. I like her naughty and cute look, I like her coquettish manner when she is having a little temper. It doesn't matter that she can't write poetry, it doesn't matter that she is naive, romantic, and doesn't follow the rules." Gongsun Jiayan said.
"I think I have fallen. Now all my standards are for the princess. I hope the princess can always live an innocent and lovely life. I will always be with the princess. Moreover, I expressed my feelings to the princess before the New Year. The princess also accepted my token. The princess said that if the queen agrees, we can talk about marriage."
Yang Huai sighed: "Brother Gongsun is so lucky to be favored by the princess."
"Then I wish Brother Gongsun all he wants."
"Brother Gongsun, when you become successful in the future, don't forget your brothers."
"Brother Yang, please stop teasing me!"
"Brother Gongsun told me this today, and I now understand what he meant."
"Alas, it's a pity that I am still wearing white clothes. If I can pass the imperial examination this year and gain fame, I will go and propose marriage."
"Such haste!"
"I don't think I will ever meet a woman who makes my heart beat so fast again in my life. If I find her, I should cherish her and fight for her." Gongsun Jiayan looked out the window, as if he was looking at something, but also as if he was looking at nothing.
Yang Huai looked in the direction Gongsun Jiayan was looking at and patted Gongsun Jiayan on the shoulder.
"Haha, I will do my best to be good to the princess, and only love and cherish her in the future. If possible, I hope she will be my wife in the future." Gongsun Jiayan said, "If I can really marry the princess, it will be a great honor. If the princess doesn't want to stay with me, I won't cling to her. It's also a great honor to be liked by the princess."
"I didn't know that Brother Gongsun was such a romantic man."
"It's enough for me to be with the princess in this life. Having her by my side is worth the whole world."
Tears actually welled up in Gongsun Jiayan's eyes.
Yang Huai sighed. At this moment, he seemed to not understand Gongsun Jiayan.
