women's disease

Daqi has always been selected by the emperor as the crown prince, and her background and conduct must be excellent. After becoming a country in the future, there is nothing better than this for women in this world.

The emperor decided on this marriage just because of his son's request. Although it was a verbal order, it was basically settled with golden words.

No one asks if they want to.

Since ancient times, Shu Qingqian is very clear about the consequences of resisting the decree. If it is light, the head will fall, and if it is serious, the nine clans may be imprisoned.

But today, she really didn't want to accept this order.

Huangfu Hong sat on it, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, with a smile on his face, leisurely admiring Shu Qingqian's expression.

Shu Qingqian stood still, with a faint smile still on her face, but anger was brewing under her calm and deep eyes, and she saw everyone's expressions in her eyes.

Seeing that Shu Qingqian was still standing, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but tugged at her daughter's sleeve, asking her to take the order to thank her.

Shu Qingqian still didn't move, at this moment she went through the plot of this world again in her mind.

It's all because she underestimated the world too much before.

Shu Qingqian looked at her hands, feeling powerless for the first time.

It feels really bad that this kind of fate is not in the palm of your hand.

Shu Qingqian didn't move.

The surrounding atmosphere gradually became awkward, everyone looked at Shu Qingqian, wondering what she meant.

The smile on the emperor's face gradually faded, and he was slightly angry.

At this moment, a palace official came in and reported to General Xiao to see him, saying that it was something important.

The emperor frowned, hesitated for a while and let the other party in.

Xiao Congyun, dressed in crimson clothes, came in to pay his respects.

She knew that today was the day for the crown prince to choose a concubine, and she knew that Shu Qingqian had also entered the palace, and she had been feeling uneasy all the time. Later, she learned that the emperor intended to make the Shu family's daughter a concubine, so she didn't care so much at this time, so she just came in up.

When the emperor faced Xiao Congyun, his tone was still kind, and he also knew that Xiao Congyun was a rare talent with countless military exploits.

"I don't know why Aiqing entered the palace at this time?"

Xiao Congyun knelt down, "I want to report to the emperor, I have someone I admire in my heart, and I came here today to hope that the emperor can give me a marriage."

This remark caused an uproar, everyone looked at Xiao Congyun, and for a moment forgot the existence of Shu Qingqian.

Concubine Zhang Gui who was at the side covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this, "Your Majesty, you see that General Xiao is fighting for the country, he is now in his twenties, and there is no one around him who knows the cold and the hot, so you really deserve a good match. "

The emperor was also happy, "Okay, I don't know which girl General Xiao likes, why not tell me today."

Xiao Congyun glanced at Shu Qingqian, and then said: "The person I admire in my heart is the Shu family's daughter."

Shu Qingqian couldn't help but look sideways, looking at Xiao Congyun who was kneeling in the middle of the crowd, even though her heart was like a rock, she was moved for some reason.

She hasn't felt this way for a long time.

Shu Qingqian knew that the other party came in for her own sake, and even went so far as to contradict the emperor.

The emperor's face changed drastically, and even Concubine Zhang Gui, who had been smiling all along, couldn't smile at this time, "I'm afraid General Xiao doesn't know, my son has also taken a fancy to the Shu family's daughter, and is planning to make her the crown princess. There are so many ladies from official families here today, why don't General Xiao take another look to see if there is anyone else he likes."

Xiao Congyun straightened his back, and refused without hesitation, "I have my own heart, and I will not marry a daughter who is not the Shu family's prostitute, so please Your Majesty."

At this time, Huangfu Hong, who had been silent by the side, finally spoke, with a smile on his lips, "It's really interesting, I never thought that General Xiao would like women, but aren't you a woman yourself?"

Huangfu Hong's words immediately caused an uproar.

Shu Qingqian knew that something was wrong, seeing Huangfu Hong's complacent look, she frowned again, why would Huangfu Hong know?

Xiao Congyun lowered his eyelids, sure enough Huangfuhong knew his true identity a long time ago.

The emperor thought he had heard it wrong, because the facts were unbelievable.

"What did you say, prince?"

Huangfu Hong stood up and said loudly: "Father, you don't know. In fact, there was only one daughter left in the Xiao family back then, named Xiao Yun. Later, she changed her name to Xiao Congyun and went to the Mobei military camp disguised as a man. Now General Xiao."

The emperor looked at Xiao Congyun who was kneeling below. These days Xiao Congyun went to court every day, and he had never found out that the other party was a woman, so he couldn't help being suspicious, "Is this true?"

Huangfu Hong looked at Xiao Congyun and said with a smile: "If Father doesn't believe it, you can have someone come for a physical examination, and you will know soon."

Xiao Congyun raised his head suddenly, without denying it, "There is no need for a physical examination, go back to the emperor, what the prince said is true."

The emperor was furious, and smashed the wine glass in his hand on the ground, "Xiao Congyun, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Xiao Congyun was not afraid of the emperor's anger, and still knelt straight, "I am indeed a woman, but there is no law in Daqi stating that women cannot fight in wars or serve as officials in the court."

The emperor was very angry, "Presumptuous, since ancient times, the sky and the earth have been used, men are yang and women are yin, men are outside and women are inside, as women, they should take good care of their husbands and children at home. You are a crime of deceiving the king." , Unforgivable, come, someone, arrest her and put her in the prison."

Shu Qingqian watched all this silently, the corner of her mouth curled into a sneer, in such a feudal society, the power of the emperor is greater than the sky.

Soon the guards suppressed Xiao Congyun, and the Hundred Flowers Banquet was so over, the emperor asked everyone to disperse.

After Xiao Congyun was thrown into the prison, the ministers of the court and central government soon found out, and they all expressed their shock. They didn't expect that Xiao Congyun, who had worked with them for so long, was actually a woman.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone discussed and quarreled, but most people thought that although Xiao Congyun is a woman, she has made a lot of contributions, and the merits and demerits are equal, so she should be let go.

Although the emperor knew Xiao Congyun's skills were high, he was still upset. He planned to keep Xiao Congyun in the sky prison for a while.

......

After Shu Qingqian returned home, the matter did not end because of this, and then an imperial decree came down.

A group of eunuchs came to Shu's mansion, shouting at the top of their throats to "Fengtian Chengyun", the emperor said.

Shu's father had no choice but to accept the decree, and the imperial decree had been issued, announcing to the world to choose a date to get married, and it seemed that Shu Qingqian could only obediently stay at home and wait to get married.

Shu Qingqian has been writing and drawing in her room for the past few days, Lian'er can't understand what Miss is doing, so she can only help grind the ink.

She knew that the young lady was in a bad mood and didn't want to marry the prince.

She also met that prince at the Liuxian Poetry Club back then, and knew that the other party was not a good man, and he was not a good man.

But this marriage was bestowed by the emperor, and it was absolutely impossible to refuse.

Lian'er saw Shu Qingqian writing a string of characters she had never seen before on the paper, and couldn't help asking, "Miss, what is this?"

Shu Qing smiled, but did not answer directly, but asked, "Lian'er, do you know what the emperor wanted most since ancient times?"

Lianer shook her head, "Doesn't the emperor own the world? What else does he lack?"

"How can people's greed be satisfied, even the emperor is no exception. There is one thing that emperors have been pursuing since ancient times, and that is immortality."

Lian'er didn't think much about it, "Immortal? That's something in the myth, hee hee, I want it too."

Shu Qingqian smiled but said nothing, looking at the cinnabar on the table.

In ancient times, cinnabar was generally used for painting, but it was also used in some elixirs.

After burning cinnabar, it will produce mercury, which is mercury.
