Satisfied Female Emperor

Feng Lin skipped one class, which infuriated Tutor Qian so much that he decided not to ask her to go to class. She was not angry, and so she stayed with Ah Fu, saving Ru Yi the luxury of a eunuch watching dogs.

Feng Lin, who was timid and extremely dependent on her daughter, was not afraid of Ah Fu.

"Ah Fu is waiting for me here."

"How much water did Ah Fu drink today? Drink more. It's too hot. "

"It's raining today. Ah Fu is playing in the hall. Wait until the rain lessens before coming out."

"Ah Fu can swim? "Great, why don't we catch some fish from the lake?"

Even Qing He, the emperor, humbled himself to visit it a few times. "What a good dog."

The imperial concubine, "Ah Fu, this is royal father, you have to respect him."

Ah Fu: Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.

Lady: Father, Ah Fu is here to pay respects to you.

Emperor Qinghe nodded solemnly. Oh, I can see that.

She turned around and said to Tutor Qian that the princess' personality had always been a bit cold, but now that there was Ah Fu, she seemed a bit more lively.

Tutor Qian touched the imperial report in his sleeve. He had wanted to spare Old Man Wang for the time being, but now, he could just give His Highness some additional homework.

Not far from the Prefecture, on the Hua and Qing Mountains, Xue Qianyun had been maintaining a posture for a long time. Sweat was seeping into his eyes, and he felt a sharp pain. "Rest for half an hour."

Only then did Xue Buyun slowly straighten his body and move his arms and legs, but he didn't have the strength to do anything else. He laid on the ground and watched the clouds slowly pass by.

Some things were like seeds. No matter where they fell, they would sprout and grow into towering trees.

However, there were some people who were so good and so likable, but would not grow up. She stayed in a certain place in his heart, and every time she thought about it, her heart would ache.

You've been on the mountain for a month. You should go back and ask your parents to take a look." Master Wu threw a water bag over to him. Xue Qianyun opened it and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water. This was a life that he would never have thought of in the past.

"Then I will go down the mountain tomorrow. Master, will you be with me? "

Master Wu nodded. The two of them sat together in the middle of the mountain.

Here, the rain was abundant in the mountains. One moment, it was still breezy and calm, but in the next moment, it might even be raining. The two of them spoke for a while, and it really was raining, "Come in and avoid the rain." Master Wu said.

Xue Xianyun shook his head, "It's nothing."

Master Wu was also a person who was hard to talk to. As long as Xue Siyun completed the tasks that he had taught her, he would do whatever his disciple wanted to him during the rest of the time. He did not care at all.

Xue Chaoyun also liked to get along like this.

Days passed, and Eunuch Li Jing and Li Zhong, who had gone to Pingzhou, finally returned.

When Ru Yi had told them to leave, she had instructed the Eastern Palace Chief to arrange two experienced guards for Zhou Xuan so that the two of them wouldn't run into any danger on their way back.

Li Rou led the two suntanned men to bathe and change clothes while standing by the side. He was also a bit envious of them as they would always grow their horizons if they walked around for a bit.

He looked at Li Jing and Li Zhong. It was just that after not seeing them for a few days, they looked like they had changed. Their faces were filled with determination.

He still had to bring them to see His Highness later. When they met His Highness, he would always hear about it, and this was also a type of consideration he had. After all, he was now a chief eunuch of the Huajing Hall.

Ru Yi saw them both in the study.

Even Li Rou was able to see the difference, and naturally Ru Yi was able to do so as well.

"It has been hard on you all this time, I'm giving you a seat."

Li Jing thanked Li Zhong for his kindness and took out a thick notebook from his sleeve. "This was recorded by the servants on their way here. Please take a look, Your Highness."

Ru Yi took the paper from Li Rou. She had given this to the two of them before she left. For the time being, she didn't have an Eastern Palace subordinate official, but she could arrange people to do things.

"Leave this one here, I'll summon you two to interrogate me after I'm done watching. The two of you can temporarily go back and rest for two days." Ru Yi glanced at Li Rou. "The guards will each be rewarded with ten taels."

Don't mind her little rewards, she is the princess and doesn't have a salary. Although it's fine if she doesn't give out any rewards, but if she doesn't give out any, then it would also hurt the hearts of the people below. Even if the rewards are all her private money, she has a lot of things, but if she gave those things to someone else, they wouldn't dare to use them.

Ruyi did not like incense, but in summer the garden of the East Palace produced a great deal of flowers and fruits, but there were also many people, and the best of them, Ruyi's green bamboo, was picked up and sent to him. The rest, she and her reading companions each had fresh fruits to eat every day, and besides the ones in the garden, she had many examples, so they could all be placed in the study and in the bedroom, and the fragrance of the fruit was more pleasant than the smell of incense.

But today, when she looked at this paper, she felt it was difficult to breathe. No matter how fragrant the fruit was, it wouldn't make her feel comfortable.

"Do you two brothers want to go down and rest first?" Although Li Rou was a Chief Eunuch of the Huazhi Hall, she didn't have any pride in herself. She still respected Li Jing as her older brother.

Li Jing glanced at Li Zhong and said to Li Rou, "No, we'll wait here."

Li Rou then led them to the tea room. "If His Highness asks for me, I'll call for my brothers again."

The Gu Clan's daughter had married at the age of eleven and her husband had passed away the next month. From eleven to forty-one, she could only wear a set of dark clothes and couldn't go out. She couldn't play around and could only guard the house.

It was no more than that.

Such a life, yet to make a chastity arch for the clan.

Use a woman's life to achieve the reputation of certain people, to achieve the glory of the entire clan.

"Call Li Jing and Li Zhong in!" Ru Yi said to Li Rou who was standing at the side, "Gu You must listen to them once again."

Li Jing ran around with Li Zhong for half a month and suffered quite a bit, but he still said, "Your Highness, no one in Pingzhou doesn't know about the Gu Clan's women. Their marriage gifts are plentiful and their dowry is meagre; even the beggars on the streets know that the Gu Clan is selling women for glory." In comparison, when they entered the palace they became eunuchs, and it was better to be no more humane than sit in prison for the rest of their lives.

The one hundred year old clan had such an unbearable amount of people beneath them.

"The daughters of the main branch can't bear to marry, so they adopted the daughters of the branch. With the death of their husbands, they weren't allowed to return home or remarry. The parents who cared for their children wanted to take them back, but they were met with retaliation from the Gu family and their husbands …"

After dinner, Emperor Qing asked Ru Yi, "I heard that your two little eunuchs have returned?"

Ru Yi wasn't surprised at all that Emperor Qinghe knew of this. She nodded. "I'm back."

"Oh? What was the result of the investigation? What do you think? "

Ru Yi flashed a bright smile at the light, her eyes showing no trace of gloom. "The results of the investigation are here. This son's thoughts... I just feel that I have been reborn as royal father's daughter. I probably did quite a few good things in my previous life … "

Emperor Qinghe read through the contents with a glance, then put the paper money to the side. "Then what do you want to do with it?"

Ru Yi said impolitely, "This son feels that this woman's character is tough. She can be rewarded, but she does not agree to be bestowed a chastity memorial archway."

"Huh?" Emperor Qinghe raised an eyebrow. "You think she's good as well?" However, before he could think of a way to dispel this thought, Ru Yi shook her head and said, "Your son feels that this girl may have been full of evil in his previous life, so I can only be reincarnated as the Gu family's daughter in this life …"

Although she was surprised, she was also pleasantly surprised, so she nodded and said, "Back in the days of the Ancestor, when wars were frequently fought, the army was greatly damaged, and there were even more widows in the country. The Emperor ordered that 'all the widows, after three years of military service, could be remarried and commandeered without having to work for a year'." When it came to your grandfather, he lived with the people and died in the military service, so there were fewer widows. But generally speaking, there were still a lot of widows who remarried, and there were very few widows like the Gu family. "

"That's why the Gu family dared to bring up the matter of the chastity memorial archway, isn't it?"

Greatjoy nodded. Ru Yi thought about it and said, "What does royal father want to do with it? I hope there are fewer of them. "Even if you really don't want to remarry, you still have to do it of your own free will …"

"Go ahead and put on your paper. We'll discuss it in the imperial court tomorrow."

Seeing that her father didn't reprimand her, Ru Yi nodded her head and left. She had already written down the reports for the day and now that she had Emperor Qing He's attitude, she dared to hand it over tomorrow.

As expected, it was near the end of the dynasty when the emperor Qing He took the initiative to mention the Gu family's chastity memorial archway.

"This Emperor has seen the princess' papers, and all the officials have heard about it as well."

Xue Duan De, the Minister of Rites, came out first. "This subject has an objection. Since ancient times, 'husband is wife'. If the court also supports the re-marriage of a widow, wouldn't it be a disorderly matter?"

"Husband's status is not bad, but if Lord Xue doesn't agree, then he's a widow. Where did this husband come from? How could he be a wife?" However, if the family deliberately sacrificed them in exchange for his reputation, he would feel that this action was really sinful and evil. To destroy a family that did not have a human nature, even if the clan's children were outstanding, would the government dare to use them? For the sake of a chastity memorial, they could sell off their sisters and children for the rest of their lives. If such a person were to manage the county, where would the people of the county go? Everyone had a daughter and sister. Were they willing to marry their daughter despite the other party's illness? You clearly know that you can't get married, yet you still want to force your daughter to be chaste in the husband's home? " Ru Yi retorted.

"How can Your Highness speak like that?"

"Oh? Lord, do you think that what I just said was wrong? If the Gu Clan did not mention the matter of the chastity memorial archway, I would even admire them a little. To be able to use the life of an eleven year old girl to exchange for the glory of my clan, this is truly disgusting! "

"As a husband, I want to protect my wife and children. If I can't do this, how can I talk about my husband as a wife? Just like a field, if you don't sow or fertilize, why should you let the field grow crops?! "

The princess followed the emperor for four or five years. She didn't say a word, but the moment she opened her mouth, all the subjects' jaws dropped in shock. No one dared look at her and cast a reproachful gaze at her.

Honored Tutor Qian still didn't know that this had happened and was still fuming with righteousness. This was great, he would look back whenever anyone looked at him, and it had intimidated quite a few people.
