Coaxing away the old gentleman who was holding a pile of papers and was about to cry, Zhao Wang held his breath and ordered to drive the princess to the palace with a gloomy face.

Zhao Mingxian didn't know what kind of disaster he had caused, and he was talking to the ladies in high spirits about Mr. Chu's situation when he saw a pile of waste paper. She opened her mouth but couldn't pronounce half a word, and then rushed forward to put the pages together one by one, and finally... Finally, she couldn't imitate the way he looked at her.

She clearly knew that she did it, but was it out of anger?It seems to be angry, but it seems not surprised, as if to say, I knew this before.

Did he know this?Why did he know this in advance?

She just felt like she was being pricked by someone with a needle, but her laughter couldn't help but grow louder, and she leaned back and forth from her laughter. He picked up an imitation color bottle from the shelf and threw it over.

The bottle smashed not far from Zhao Mingxian, the fragments splashed everywhere, the hall became quiet for an instant, and the maids who had been joking with the little master knelt down on the ground in an instant, all of them dared not vent their anger.

King Zhao shouted furiously: "I have been instigating my master like this for a couple of days, all of them are kicked out of the palace!"

Zhao Mingxian had never seen him so angry, she was very surprised for a moment, but she just looked at him blankly.

There was a tinge of remorse in Zhao Wang's heart, but the words had already been uttered, and it was hard to stop, so he stopped and shouted to the chief eunuch who followed in: "What are you doing in a daze? Pull them all down!"

A few eunuchs obediently stepped forward to pull them away, Zhao Mingxian immediately stopped them, "One of my ministers does the work and the other is responsible. If you want to beat or punish, all of them are directed at my ministers. Why bother to blame others?"

"It's not up to you to control what I want to do!" Zhao Wang was so angry that his head hurt, "Pull it down!"

Zhao Mingxian still stopped him, "Father, you are a virtuous king and master, and you have your own sage's judgment. How can you blame the innocent? You are the one who does things and the other is responsible. You punish the son."

Zhao Wang sneered, "Don't talk about those idle stories with me, if you misuse your mind, no matter how smart you are, it will be a disaster. Come here, let me pull you down!"

Zhao Mingxian was also anxious, and shouted regardless: "I'll see who dares!"

Several eunuchs were in a dilemma, frowning, and finally came forward, but they really didn't dare to touch the golden branches and jade leaves.

Zhao Wang was so angry that he was about to do it himself, but Zhao Wangfei rushed into the palace at this time, and she made a quick wink, telling everyone to back down first, and then turned her head to persuade: "If you have something to say, it's for the sake of doing things." What is it? Do you want the majesty of the king of a country?"

Zhao Wang threw the wooden box in his hand on the ground, and said with a sneer, "I want to be majestic? Look at the good daughter you have raised and the good things you have done!"

Zhao Wangfei sighed, "Forget it, my good daughter, I did good things with her." She picked up the wooden box, opened it and saw the torn manuscripts, she sighed slightly in her heart, Kneeling down and looking up at the little girl seriously, knowing that she is the one who prefers to be soft rather than hard, she only said in a gentle tone, "I know that Xian'er does things for no reason, can you talk to mother about it? Why do you want to tear up Mr.'s book?"

"Your servant can't tell." Zhao Mingxian looked at Zhao Wang, "Unless Emperor Father promises not to drive Shiying and the others away."

King Zhao was furious and charged, "Do you still dare to bargain?"

Zhao Mingxian showed no fear, "This matter has nothing to do with them, it is really unreasonable for the father to punish them."

Zhao Wang sneered: "Unreasonable? Why is it considered unreasonable for you to tear up Mr.'s book?"

Zhao Mingxian raised her head, "My boy admits to tearing up the book, but my boy is not unreasonable."

"Ridiculous!" King Zhao sneered again, "I would like to hear it, what's your reasoning?"

Zhao Mingxian hesitated for a moment, "Then Father promised not to embarrass Shiying and the others?"

King Zhao only saw Princess Zhao shaking her head slightly at him, and finally nodded reluctantly, "Say it."

Zhao Mingxian still hesitated a bit.

Zhao Wangfei hugged her affectionately, smiled and encouraged her, "Let's talk, if Mr. Chu is really too much, there is still mother, who will make the decision for you."

Zhao Wang gave her a displeased look, but he also acquiesced.

Zhao Mingxian hesitated a little longer, and then said: "My boy didn't do it on purpose, but what Mr. Chu said was too much, and my boy got angry for a while, so I lost my sense of proportion."

Zhao Wangfei wondered: "What did Mr. Chu say?"

Zhao Mingxian is still aggrieved when he thinks about it at this time, looking at Princess Zhao's expression a little aggrieved, "Mother, Mr. Chu said that a woman is only virtuous if she has no talent..."

Seeing her aggrieved and pitiful appearance, Princess Zhao was apprehensive at first, but after hearing her finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing, "Just for this?"

Zhao Mingxian looked at her in shock, "Mother, isn't this enough?"

Concubine Zhao and Wang Zhao looked at each other, a little confused: "Is this..."

Zhao Wang interrupted her and said: "Mr. Chu is right. The most important thing for a girl is virtue. It is enough to know a few words. Tomorrow, I will hire a female teacher for you and teach you female red. Know some etiquette, and learn that etiquette word carefully, lest you always be so lawless, and after you get married, you will break the rules in your in-law's house and embarrass me."

Zhao Mingxian looked at him in disbelief, "Father, are you serious? But it's not fair..."

"Unfair?" Zhao Wang said coldly, "Follow my father at home, you are my daughter and my subject, you can do whatever I tell you to do, where is your place to intervene?"

Zhao Mingxian said anxiously: "But father..."

"Okay, don't say a few words!" Seeing that the little girl was about to explode again, Princess Zhao quickly winked at King Zhao, then turned her head and said softly, "Xian'er, your father didn't mean that, he was just angry for a while. , without choosing words..."

"Mother, you don't need to say any more, the child already knows." Zhao Mingxian bit her lips, "So the child did not get enlightened when he was five years old, not because the father forgot, but because I am a girl, so You didn't say that, did you?"

Concubine Zhao was stunned, "Xian'er, listen to what mother said, in fact..."

"Actually..." Zhao Mingxian looked at her without blinking, "So, mother thinks so too? A woman's lack of talent is virtue, right?"

Princess Zhao was speechless for a moment, "How could this be..."

But Zhao Mingxian persistently asked: "Is it true or not?"

Concubine Zhao knew that she was stubborn, but she couldn't say anything against her will for a while, so she could only look at King Zhao for help.

Zhao Wang coughed, and said coldly: "Men dominate outside and women dominate inside, this is the truth in the world. I just saw that you were smart in the past, and I hope that you can read and understand, and you can help your husband in the future, but you can't respect it." The teacher remarked, this book is completely useless, and I don’t need to read it again.”

Princess Zhao said anxiously: "What are you talking about? It's not like..."

Zhao Wang was very firm and said: "She was wrong about this matter, so she was wrong."

Zhao Mingxian looked at him firmly, "The boy did nothing wrong."

Zhao Wang laughed back angrily, "Are you still right?"

Zhao Wang was afraid that the father and daughter would quarrel again, and was about to smooth things over, but Zhao Wang waved his hand to stop her, looked at the unconvinced little girl, calmed down, and continued: "Mr. Chu just said that women have no talents. Fang Shide, but you don’t know that this sentence originally had another upper couplet, which means that a man who has virtue is a talent, and a woman who has no talent is a virtue. Do you know the meaning of the word "no"? Here it refers to Don't put too much emphasis on talent and learning, don't be proud of your talent, although you have talent, but don't show off your talent, this is a virtue. If you don't think about it carefully, and take it out of context when you don't understand it, isn't it wrong for the dead? "

Zhao Mingxian was taken aback by what he said, but she also thought about it, and her expression was no longer so angry and dissatisfied.

Zhao Wang hit the iron while it was hot, and said: "Let's take a step back, even if you feel that what Mr. Chu said is biased, you can point it out in person and ask for advice with an open mind, but you just tore up Mr. Chu's precious love book just because of this one sentence." , Isn’t that too much? Today I want to expel your palace, but you stop and say not to vent your anger, just discuss the matter, but you vent your anger on that book yourself, isn’t it wrong? Respect teachers, respect elders and love children It is the duty of a human being to cultivate books before cultivating virtue. I don’t know this, so why bother to study?”

Zhao Mingxian seemed to understand but didn't understand, she frowned thoughtfully, but she didn't refute it.

Zhao Wangfei saw that she seemed to be wavering, so she quickly got off the donkey, "It's alright, alright, the child is still young, you have so many principles, how can she understand it all at once? Teach it slowly, and when you are older, you will understand it naturally. "

Zhao Wang looked at the silent little girl, and consciously said this, she can understand best, if she can't understand...he just felt tired, he couldn't help sighing, rubbed the center of his brows, and went to layman, " Well, think about it for yourself."

Concubine Zhao wanted to stay with her, but was glared at by King Zhao, "Aren't you leaving?"

Concubine Zhao wanted to refute, but seeing Zhao Wang's tired face, she didn't say much, she just touched Zhao Mingxian's head lightly, persuaded her again in a low voice, reassuring her, and followed her out.

She was the only one left in the huge palace, and the palace servants wanted to be restrained by King Zhao, but they didn't come in to have a look.

Zhao Mingxian sat blankly for a while, then got up and gathered all the scraps of paper, and put them together one by one, doing it extremely meticulously and carefully.I don't know how long it has passed, but I felt a little sore and backache, so I stood up, stretched my limbs, yawned, and then sat down to continue putting together pieces of paper.

Suddenly a voice sounded from above the head, "Interesting, very interesting."

Zhao Mingxian looked up in surprise, but only saw the gorgeous but empty roof of the palace. She was so surprised that she straightened her neck and looked for a long time, but suddenly a voice rang in her ears, "What are you looking at? My old body is here."

She was trembling with fright, and when she turned her head, she felt a gust of wind blowing by her side, and she fixed her eyes again, only to see a person sitting on the table at some time.

The granny was dressed as a court lady, sitting cross-legged on the table, put down a plate of steaming steamed buns in her hand, and looked at her with a smile. The wrinkles on her face were dense and fine, but she was amiable, "Where are you looking? The old man Here it is."

Zhao Mingxian stood up and looked at the unexpected visitor calmly, "Which one are you? Which palace? Tell me your name."

"Me?" The granny picked up a white bun, held it to her mouth, took a big bite, and said with a vague smile, "You can call me Baobama."

Zhao Mingxian glanced at the steaming steamed stuffed bun, a little speechless, took a step back, and said vigilantly, "Aren't you a court lady?"

The mother-in-law smiled, looked down at her clothes, "What an old woman is, that's what an old woman is."

Zhao Mingxian said a little helplessly: "I don't know..." Halfway through the sentence, she was frightened by the mother-in-law's sudden approach and fumbled, "What are you doing?!"

The granny's movement was like a ghost, and she came to her in an instant, stretched out her hand to pinch her face, and said with satisfaction: "It's so cute."

Zhao Mingxian had never been treated like this since she was a child, but she couldn't dodge it. Seeing that greasy hand approaching, she suddenly felt that there was nothing to love, and she wanted to scream, but she just opened her mouth, and it was stuffed in it. Into a meat bun.

The gravy was overflowing and the aroma was slightly hot. She could only protest in a moment, but she couldn't make a sound. When she was about to reach out to take it, she didn't know what the granny had done to make her hands not look like her own. I couldn't lift it up.

The mother-in-law looked at her with a smile on her face, "Every porridge and meal should be thought of as hard-won, half a thread, half a sliver, and the constant memory is struggling. Do you understand, girl?"

Zhao Mingxian swallowed the buns with great difficulty, only to feel that her hands could move, immediately took out a handkerchief and wiped her face, frowned and said to the mother-in-law, "Who is the mother-in-law? Why did she sneak into the palace?"

"It doesn't matter." Bao Bao smiled and said, "It's just you, a little girl, who has been cheated. My old man can't see it, so I came out to take care of it."

"Cheated?" Zhao Mingxian wondered, "Who lied to me?"

Granny Bao bit her bun, "The sentence that women have no talents is taken out of context, so it has another meaning."

Zhao Mingxian blinked, and suddenly laughed, "Grandma is talking about this? Actually, I know."

Granny Bao was surprised, "Oh? You know?"

Zhao Mingxian nodded and said: "Although Father said that, I know that Mr. Chu didn't mean it. He really thought that his daughter's family should not be talented, but thinking about it, in his eyes, I really didn't work hard. I didn't try my best to make him change, so how can I just blame him for being prejudiced? Now I just want him to look at him differently."

"Ambition." Granny Bao raised her greasy hand and gave her a thumbs up.

"But I also know that I really went too far, so I'm going to put this book together and apologize." Zhao Mingxian sighed again. For some reason, she felt that the elder in front of her could be trusted, so she went She explained all the problems that had troubled her for a long time, "But I still can't figure it out, why even my mother thinks this is irrelevant? Why can't female dolls go to school? My mother said that there is a difference between men and women, and other The daughter of the noble family did not enroll, but only invited his wife to teach at home, but why is there a difference between men and women? They can't run as fast as I do, and I can't climb trees as high as I do. I don't think they are smarter than me. But why can't I be the one who enters the school? Shiying and the others often say in private that I don't look like a girl doll, and my father wants to ask a nanny to teach me how to behave, but I just can't figure it out. Why, do girl dolls have to be so weak? Those Every time the sisters of my uncle’s family come to the palace, they are dressed beautifully, greet me in a soft voice, and have red eyes when they are wronged. I like them, but I don’t like to play with them, and I don’t I understand, are they born this way? If they are not like me, then why do they have to 'pretend to be that way'? But Zhao Minglei is the same, his voice is so small that people can't hear clearly, he is also timid, afraid Hei is also afraid of heights, so he often has to cry and complain to his mother, but his father scolds him, saying that his mother-in-law and mother are not manly. So what is manliness? Like me? But I am not a boy. Mother-in-law , I really can’t figure it out!”

Granny Bao didn't interrupt her, and let her pour it out in one gulp like pouring out bitter water. Facing her shining expectant eyes, she suddenly smiled silently, "You want to know why?"

Zhao Mingxian nodded heavily, "Think!"

"I think..." Granny Bao sighed vaguely, "Actually, there are some truths in this world, some are right and some are wrong, some are very unreasonable, and some are contradictory. I don't understand, old lady. , if you really want to know why, you might as well go somewhere with the old woman."

Zhao Mingxian couldn't help being disappointed when she heard her refusal first, but then she became happy again, "Okay."

"It's so easy to agree?" Granny Bao saw that there was only inquiry and curiosity in her eyes but no fear, and she couldn't help but slightly sullen, "Aren't you afraid that the old woman is a bad person?"

Zhao Mingxian was not afraid at all, "Grandma's martial arts are so high, if she really wants to do something to me, there is nothing I can do."

"Little ghost." Granny Bao smiled and shook her head, she ate the last meat bun, wiped her hands carelessly, and was about to wipe her clothes.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingxian quickly took out a clean handkerchief and handed it over, "Mother-in-law, use this."

Granny Bao took a look at her, and laughed, "What a funny little girl." After using the handkerchief, she stuffed it into her bosom and stood up, "But it's not ready yet, we won't be able to do anything until midnight. .”

Zhao Mingxian widened his eyes in surprise.

Granny Bao chuckled and pointed to the palace gate, "Those girls are coming in."

Zhao Mingxian turned her head to look, and when she turned her head again, Hugh said Granny Bao, even the empty plate was gone, she couldn't help opening her mouth, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, amazed and shocked envy.

If I also have such ability, how good would it be?
