Chapter 802
Yaohua Palace, backyard.
Corridors and pavilions, rockeries and flowing water, waterside pavilions, lotus ponds and gardens are all available.
The princess's family lives here.
The palace maid named Xiao He brought Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin 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."
Miss Qin Er shouted softly and walked over.
When Nangong Xueyi saw the two of them, a smile immediately appeared on her face, as beautiful as the blooming snow plums in her hands.
"Why are you here?"
She put the plum blossoms into the vase in her hand and greeted them with a smile.
Miss Qin Er took her hand and said with a smile: "Come to see you. By the way, I brought you the rest of the story from last time."
Then he turned around and said softly: "Brother Qingzhou."
Luo Qingzhou walked over quickly, holding a thick stack of rice paper in his hand.
Nangong Xueyi looked at him and said in surprise: "Wei Mo, you are so generous, bringing your brother Qingzhou. In this case, I will not only read the story 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 objection."
Luo Qingzhou quickly handed over the rice paper in his hand and said, "Princess, read these first. When you finish reading, I will help you write other stories."
Nangong Xueyi looked at him deeply, took the rice paper, was silent for a moment, and said: "Meijiao is practicing martial arts in the backyard, you go."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I will go and greet the princess first."
Nangong Xueyi smiled and said, "No, just let Wei Mo go. It's not convenient for my mother to be in bed."
Luo Qingzhou understood, nodded, and walked along the corridor to the back.
Nangong Xueyi took Miss Qin into the house.
The maid made tea.
Second Miss Qin asked with concern: "How is your aunt's injury?"
Nangong Xueyi sighed softly: "The injury is not serious. Your Majesty came here personally to help with the treatment. It's just that... my mother feels uncomfortable..."
Miss Qin Er was silent.
"Let's go in, take a look and talk to her."
Nangong Xueyi put down the vase, took her hand and entered the back room.
Luo Qingzhou walked down the corridor.
After passing through a round door, a faint scent of flowers hits your nostrils.
Empty grass in the garden.
A tall girl wearing a white shirt and black skirt, with a high ponytail, holding a long black whip, is practicing the whipping technique.
Under the orange-red morning sun.
Her delicate cheeks were covered with glistening sweat, and a few strands of hair on her temples had already been soaked with sweat and stuck to her cheeks.
As she moved lightly, the ponytail behind her was beating happily, and the black ribbon knot was fluttering in the slender Yue Yao in her hands; It's straight and straight, forming a moving arc.
When those slender and straight legs were raised, the black skirt bloomed like petals.
She is still so charming.
It's just that the delicate cheeks seem to have lost the relaxation and arrogance they once had, but instead have a sense of heaviness and perseverance.
Luo Qingzhou stood in the big tree and watched silently.
"Uh-huh!"
After a while.
The whip shadows flying all over the sky suddenly condensed into one and flew towards him.
Luo Qingzhou didn't move.
He just tilted his body slightly and hid.
Nangong Meijiao held the long whip and stood in front of him, with her towering forehead undulating, her hair on her temples fluttering slightly, and she looked at him expressionlessly.
Luo Qingzhou also looked at her silently.
After a while.
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly and said, "Why don't you say anything? Do you think I look like a lost dog?"
Luo Qingzhou approached her, stretched out his hand, and wanted to hold her little hand.
But she suddenly avoided it, with tears suddenly filling her eyes.
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment and said: "Princess, if you are not used to living here, just move to Qin Mansion. Everyone in Qin Mansion will welcome you."
Nangong Meijiao's eyes filled with tears, and she sneered: "Everyone will welcome me? Are they pitying me?"
Luo Qingzhou said no more.
He knew how she was feeling at the moment, so whatever emotions she had, he let her vent them.
Tears suddenly rolled down from Nangong Meijiao's eyes.
"Ever since the Qin family had a close relationship with the eldest princess, my father has told me many times that the palace cannot take sides...until after the eldest princess ascended the throne, my father still said this. He originally wanted us to be as neutral as other palaces. After all, the eldest princess is a girl...but, because of me..."
She shed tears and choked up: "Luo Qingzhou, do you know? Before the eldest princess got married, she called me to the palace and told me that I could marry her husband together... I don't want to be a dowry. She didn’t agree, but she felt very conflicted in her heart... After she ascended the throne, she would She said this to me for the first time, and she told me that she already knew your identity... I knew that if I hesitated again, I would never have another chance in the future... So I made up my mind and went to tell my father and mother. , said I like you and want to marry you..."
At this point, she squatted on the ground with tears streaming down her face: "My father and my mother discussed it all night, and the next day, my father went to court, and then tried his best to help the eldest princess and win over other princes and kings... Then, this happened..."
"It was me, I killed him..."
At the end of the sentence, she burst into tears.
Luo Qingzhou squatted in front of her and held her in his arms.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The crying went on for a long time.
Gradually, she lost strength, leaned in his arms, and became quiet.
A long time passed.
She said softly: "I don't blame you... Mother told me that my father also believes that the eldest princess is the most suitable candidate for emperor, except that she is a daughter. My father approves of the eldest princess in his heart, but he is afraid that I am ashamed of my late emperor and ancestors, so I have been hesitating.”
"I am his daughter, and he made up his mind for me. My mother said that he was very proud... My mother also said that after seeing the plans you came up with for the eldest princess, my father was very excited and told my mother that this time The eldest princess can definitely win..."
"My father also praised you and said you were a genius..."
At this point, she suddenly laughed again: "It's a pity that my father doesn't know that the genius he praised was actually Chu Feiyang, who I told him that I would not marry him unless he... If my father knew, the two geniuses were actually Chu Feiyang." It’s just a person, I don’t know what his expression will be... He will definitely be proud and happy for me.”
She leaned in his arms, smiling and talking, but tears were flowing silently.
"Brother Qingzhou, can I call you brother Qingzhou now? If my father has a spirit in heaven, he will definitely be very happy to see your majesty using your strategy to defeat the seven kingdoms 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, looking at him quietly.
Nangong Xueyi quickly whispered: "Follow me."
Luo Qingzhou hugged the princess and followed her.
After putting the princess in his room, he was about to leave. Nangong Xueyi whispered: "Don't leave, just sit here and wait for her to wake up. Weimo and I have to go to His Majesty."
Miss Qin Er said softly: "Your Majesty summoned us over. Brother Qingzhou, please stay with Sister Meijiao here for more time."
Luo Qingzhou nodded.
Nangong Xueyi led Miss Qin away and closed the door for him.
Listening to the footsteps fading away.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the girl sleeping soundly with tears on the bed, thinking about the scene that night, and slowly clenched the fists in his sleeves.
Within the body, on the root of the thunder spirit, three lightning bolts flickered.
He went over and helped her draw the curtains.
Immediately, he walked to the corner of the room and sat down on the carpet, took out the spiritual liquid and dropped it on his palm.
Then, he entered a state of cultivation.
Outside the window, the morning sun slowly rose into the sky.
Nangong Huoyue returned to the study of Yaohua Palace after her morning dynasty.
Not long after.
Yue Wu's respectful voice sounded outside: "Your Majesty, Princess Xueyi and the second young lady of the Qin family are here."
Nangong Huoyue put down the memorial in her hand, and Wen asked, "Where is he?"
Yuewu said: "In Princess Meijiao's room at the back. Princess Meijiao cried for a long time and fell asleep. He stayed there."
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment and said, "Let them come in."
After a while.
The door opened, and Nangong Xueyi and Miss Qin said respectfully at the door: "Greetings to Your Majesty."
Nangong Huoyue said warmly: "Xueyi, Weimo, come in."
Miss Qin was slightly startled when she heard this title, and walked in with Princess Xueyi.
"No need to be polite, sit down."
Nangong Huoyue's expression was gentle, and his tone became softer, 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: "Wei Mo, this is not the main hall, so there is no need to be formal."
Second Miss Qin said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nangong Huoyue looked at her soft and charming appearance, smiled slightly, and said, "Weimo, have you felt better since you came to Kyoto?"
Second Miss Qin said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's much better."
Nangong Huoyue smiled and said, "Sir, you must be very fond of you, right? I heard that in order to find medicine for you, many calligraphy treasures were left in Jinchan Temple and Qingyun Temple that could be passed down through the ages."
Although Jin Chan Temple and Qingyun Temple have been keeping a tight seal on this matter, she still has a way to know.
Miss Qin Er said softly: "Brother Qingzhou really loves Wei Mo very much."
Immediately, she sighed softly, glanced at the "Dayan Etiquette" and "Marriage Law" books on the table, and said sadly: "It's a pity that Weimo is too weak to serve him well. Weimo feels very guilty. . I have been thinking about it, hoping to find a good wife for Brother Qingzhou..."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the room.
Nangong Xueyi on the side suddenly said: "Wei Mo, don't say that. You are his legitimate wife. Even if he marries another one, she can only be his concubine. No matter how beautiful she is and she knows how to serve others, she still has to call you. elder sister."
Nangong Huoyue glanced at her and said, "Weimo, haven't you and your husband had a wedding yet?"
Miss Qin Er whispered: "Not yet, Wei Mo is suffering from illness and cannot have sex yet, so he is anxious to find another wife for Brother Qingzhou. Wei Mo cannot fulfill the responsibility of being a wife, and to Brother Qingzhou I feel very guilty, so even if I become a concubine, I am willing to do so..."
Nangong Xueyi frowned slightly, but still wanted to speak. Nangong Huoyue suddenly said: "That's not possible. The "Dayan Etiquette" and the "Marriage Law" both stipulate that the legal wife is the legal wife. Unless she reconciles or divorces, she will always be the legal wife. How can a wife turn into a concubine? Wei Mo, you don’t have to worry, your health will definitely be fine. As for finding another wife for my husband..."
After a pause, she picked up the "Dayan Etiquette" from the table, frowned slightly and said, "I came to you today because I want to discuss with you about revising the regulations on the marriage of men and women in the "Dayan Etiquette". Part 1 When I was a guest at the Qin Mansion, I heard your husband's words and was enlightened. I felt that we should strive for some freedom in marriage for women. "
"Those words about parents ordering matchmakers should really be revised."
"As for the regulations on wives and concubines, I also feel that they are a bit too harsh. If you truly love each other and both men and women are willing, I feel that those regulations should not be so rigid...Concubines are like slaves. They can be divorced at will, or even divorced at will. Things like exchanging with others and sending them out, as well as having multiple concubines, all need to be revised.”
As soon as these words came out.
Nangong Xueyi was the first to clapped her hands, and said excitedly and angrily: "Your Majesty, Xueyi has wanted to tell you 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, I can Go to hell with all the weird rules about giving away and exchanging things!”
Nangong Huoyue looked at Miss Qin Er.
Second Miss Qin lowered her head slightly and said, "Everything depends on your Majesty. Wei Mo also feels that there are many regulations in the etiquette and law that are indeed a bit harsh and need to be revised."
Nangong Huoyue had a smile on her face.
"However, after all, the current etiquette has been deeply ingrained and deeply rooted in people's hearts, so the reform cannot be too hasty. 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 glance at her.
