Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

No matter how fudong chattered, Jiang Xue ignored him and just fetched water from the well.

However, she threw the bucket several times, but failed. She had no choice but to turn to Fu Dong and said, "Teach me."

"Your Highness - how can this be done?!" Fu Dong was so anxious that he almost shed tears, "You want to fetch water, who can you call? How can you do it on your own? If the empress knows, my little life will still be saved. Do you want it anymore?”

Jiang Xuedan said: "Do you want to teach me? If you don't teach me, I will send you back to the palace. I just said that I don't need you to serve me anymore. You can go and serve your mother, or you can go back to Changle Palace to stay. It's up to you." ."

In the winter, I felt like crying but had no tears. After thinking over and over again, I could only make up my mind.

As if accepting his fate, he taught Jiang Xue step by step how to fetch water.

Jiang Xue carried the water like this for nearly half an hour, from the side of Wen Qingxuan to the water tank in front of the small kitchen, sweating like rain.

The guards of Changle Palace could only pretend not to see him. When Jiang Xue passed by carrying water, they immediately turned their backs.

At first, I just didn't have enough strength, but later on, my hands and shoulders were sore.

Jiang Xue gritted her teeth and finished picking out a jar.

She held her waist and returned to the courtyard, followed by the frightened Fu Dong, and saw Lu Qiongshuang had packed the box and was waiting.

Jiang Xue approached, and Lu Qiongshuang saw her face turning pale, and immediately said: "Cousin, believe me, you can't become fat with just one bite. You have already reached the standard for exercise today. If you continue to exercise, it will not be worthwhile if you get sick."

Jiang Xue felt that it made sense, so she sat down on the stone chair to rest.

"Qiong Shuang, do you have to endure these hardships every day when you are outside?" Jiang Xue looked at Lu Qiong Shuang's dark complexion and asked suddenly.

"Bitter?" Lu Qiong smiled and said, "It felt bitter at first, but later I felt really comfortable."

"Cousin, during that time, in order to make money, I disguised myself as a man and made myself look sloppy. Although the work was more tiring - cousin, I feel really comfortable being a man."

"You can sit wherever you want, stand wherever you want, and go to the roadside when you are tired, and no one will point at you. It seems that men can do whatever they want, but as a woman, it is difficult to say a word or word a word. If you do something wrong, you will be criticized."

"So cousin, I do feel a little bit hard physically, but it's also hard being a big girl in the prime minister's house. Every day I have to be forced to learn things that I don't like at all, and I have to do what men like. You have to have a mold to be polished, just like embroidery and knitting, and you have to behave according to the rules - isn't it hard? It also feels hard and tiring physically."

"But being a man, except for the physical hardship, there are no restrictions in other aspects. So if you ask me whether it is hard or not, I can only say that being a man is hard, but for me, those days were more difficult than those in the Prime Minister's Mansion. , much more comfortable.”

Jiang Xue only smiled and said lightly: "Do you just want to be a man in the future?"

"No," Lu Qiongshuang said sternly, "It is precisely because I know how comfortable it is to be a man, so I must work hard to educate the master - my master is a woman! In the future, I will also accept many female disciples and teach them their skills. Let them walk between heaven and earth, no less inferior to men.”

Jiang Xue felt a little relieved and a little sad when she heard what she said.

As a member of the royal family, she has more responsibilities than Qiong Shuang. She cannot, like her, leave everything behind to pursue what she really wants.

But so what? Even Qiong Shuang has such ambition, why should she give in?

"Then work hard. We all want peace for our family and country, and we also want women in this world to live more comfortably." Jiang Xue said with a slight smile, her eyes brightening.

"Cousin, do you think so too?" Lu Qiong's eyes were full of surprise and she said, "Cousin, if I run away from home in the future, you have to cover me."

Jiang Xue pretended not to hear, stood up and walked towards the house, shouting to Fu Dong: "Fu Dong! Help me prepare for a bath!"

Jiang Xue felt refreshed after taking a bath. Although her shoulders were sore and her hands had a few blisters, she was very happy for no reason. She only asked Fu Dong to apply some medicine on her lightly, and then went to find Lu Qiong Shuang. Have lunch.

Lu Qiongshuang looked at Jiang Xue with admiration. After all, her cousin would cry for most of an hour even if she fell down when she was a child.

During lunch, Jiang Xue had a big appetite and ate a large bowl of japonica rice. Fudong and Xiaochun looked on and were a little worried that she had filled up their stomachs, but Lu Qiongshuang looked doting on her face and kept feeding her. vegetable.

Not long after lunch, Jiang Xue went to the courtyard and started moving the two small wooden boxes.

Lu Qiongshuang pointed from the side: "Cousin, you need to practice both strength and endurance. When you walk up this step, just carry a box up and down twenty times."

Jiang Xue was a little exhausted and looked at the steps in a daze.

Lu Qiong frowned, pretending to be profound and said: "It's hard to endure hardship——"

Jiang Xue sighed and took action immediately.

She was a little angry at her pampered self in the past. She was used to a body that she couldn't lift with her hands or carry on her shoulders. Now she was so exhausted doing these seemingly easy things.

I practiced like this for a while, and suddenly Xiaochun came to report in a hurry.

"Your Highness, there is a distinguished official in the palace, and he has been invited to the Chaolu Hall."

Jiang Xue stopped her movements, handed the box to Lu Qiong's hands, and said, "I know, you go and entertain me. I'll go in, change my clothes, freshen up, and then go over."

Xiaochun agreed, and Jiang Xue immediately called Fudong. The two of them went inside and worked for a while, and finally tidied up.

Jiang Xue arrived at Chaolu Hall and saw that the person delivering the order was Eunuch Feng from the Queen's Palace. She immediately smiled and nodded to him.

Eunuch Feng bowed to Jiang Xue and said, "Your Highness, the Queen has arrived with an order."

Just as Jiang Xue was about to kneel down to receive the order, Eunuch Feng hurriedly supported her and said, "Your Majesty has an order, and your Highness does not need to kneel down to receive it."

Jiang Xue nodded.

"The Queen has decreed that Princess Changle will bring her consort into the palace tomorrow afternoon to attend a banquet."

Jiang Xue said: "My son, I will accept the order."

She winked at Fudong and then said to Eunuch Feng: "It's so hard for Eunuch Feng to make this trip. I wonder who will be attending the banquet tomorrow?"

Fu Dong stuffed the brocade purse filled with gold beads into Eunuch Feng's hands. Eunuch Feng said with a flattered look on his face: "Your Highness, this is a shame for me. Tomorrow was originally a family banquet set by His Majesty. Out of sympathy for the recent envoys from the Kingdom of Qian, Several adults who have worked hard on the matter have been invited together, and it is said that the prince of Nagan Kingdom is also here, because he has a distinguished status, so he is also invited."

Jiang Xue smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. This is just tea money. Please tell me that the palace will go with the consort tomorrow - by the way, Qiong Shuang is also staying in my house these days." , we will go to the banquet together tomorrow."

Eunuch Feng tremblingly thanked him, and Jiang Xue summoned Xiaochun Haosheng to send him out.

Back at Wenqingxuan, Jiang Xue and Lu Qiongshuang talked about the time to enter the palace. Lu Qiongshuang was very excited to see his immortal brother.

"I'm going to pick out some good gifts right away so that I can make them a meeting gift tomorrow."

Jiang Xue said helplessly: "It is not appropriate to announce your relationship to the public. I will take you to visit another day."

Lu Qiongshuang nodded obediently, "Everything depends on my cousin."

When Xiaochun came back to ask Qingxuan, Jiang Xue immediately ordered:

"Go and tell Huang Fu to go to the Ministry of Rites to look for the consort. Just say that I personally invited him, and tell him to return home tonight to prepare for the palace banquet tomorrow."
