768. Chapter 768 Slap in the Face

Dai Mei is the most nervous around Ye Zhen. She doesn't know that the empress she serves is not the Lu Yaoyao who grew up in the border town. She only knows that apart from Lu Jinger, other girls in the Lu family can't write Good handwriting was nothing in the past, but if the handwriting written by the empress is put in the women's college for people to watch, wouldn't everyone know that the empress is of extremely low background?

Hong Ling calmly prepared her pen and ink, she knew Ye Zhen best, being ridiculed by Princess An so openly today, she would not argue with this old woman for the sake of status and demeanor, but she could use other ways to slap her in the face.

"Old Concubine An is highly respected and comes from a famous family. She should be an example. Why don't you inscribe one and give it to the Women's College?" Ye Zhen asked Old Concubine An with a smile.

"The concubine should be respectful rather than obedient." Old Princess An almost laughed in her heart, thinking that the Queen's words were humiliating herself, and she actually asked her to write an inscription at this time. She has been learning calligraphy since she was a child, and she has been able to Although she can't compare to a great calligrapher in writing beautiful handwriting, she thinks that there is no woman in the capital who can compare with her.

Everyone else could only look at Ye Zhen sympathetically.

Hong Ling had already prepared the pen and ink, and the palace servants also moved the desk, Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Old Princess An, please go ahead."

Old Princess An originally wanted to suppress Ye Zhen, so she stood up unceremoniously, "The concubine will show her shame."

Ye Zhen's face was calm, her eyes were gentle, she just nodded with a smile.

Chastity is quiet and leisurely, and there is shame in doing one's own thing.

Old Princess An closed her eyes and thought for a while, then wrote this sentence on the rice paper.

Ye Zhen's eyes are slightly cold, it seems that this old Princess An really takes herself too seriously, and doesn't take her too seriously, and now she still wants to use this to satirize her father and Zhaoyang.

Tranquil and leisurely, shameful is what Ban Zhao said. It means that virgins do not marry second husbands. Obviously, the matter between Zhaoyang and her father is shameful in the eyes of this old woman, but she is afraid of her father's anger so she dare not marry her husband. speak out.

She suppressed the anger in her heart. No matter what, she definitely couldn't get angry at this sentence. Not everyone can understand the irony hidden in Old Princess An's words. If she gets angry, she might have an excuse Said she was guilty.

"Empress, please give me your word." Old Princess An looked at Ye Zhen with a smile.

Ye Zhen glanced at her coldly.

Old Princess An's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a cold breath blowing towards her face, which made her almost gasp for breath.

"As we all know, Bengong has studied with a famous teacher for less than a year, and his handwriting is not very good." Ye Zhen said lightly, and slowly walked to the front of the table while holding Jian Jia's hand.

"How can the queen's handwriting be bad." Old Princess An said with a smile, "I heard that the queen wrote good calligraphy before."

Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows, "Have you read the words written by the former queen?"

"I just heard about it." Old Princess An said, "My Lady, please."

"So that's how it is." Ye Zhen smiled, and took the pen handed over by Princess An, "Since it is going to be placed in the medical hall, I will give you some words of encouragement."

Boji medical source, diligent and tireless.

Old Princess An's handwriting is calm and beautiful, she is indeed a good handwriting, it is very rare among women to be able to write as well as her, everyone thought that the empress would definitely be crushed, but when the pen in Ye Zhen's hand is like Flowing clouds and flowing water, the font is even more beautiful and slender, charming like a silver hook, graceful and romantic, a little more aura than the words of Old Princess An.

High and low were immediately distinguished.

Old Princess An's face turns blue and white. She is a person who loves calligraphy, so she naturally appreciates many calligraphy and paintings. Ye Zhen's calligraphy is not comparable to hers. She feels that her face has been beaten a few times. Second-rate.

"I haven't written for a long time, so there are some flaws." Ye Zhen put down her pen and said softly, "Lu He, send these two calligraphy together to the Women's College to the dean today."

Lu He smiled calmly, "Yes, ma'am."

Ye Zhen then turned her head to look at Old Princess An, "Old Princess An, I wonder what other rules the Queen had when she first entered the palace?"

Old Princess An forced a smile on her lips, "No more, your mother's handwriting is really good, it's really hidden."

"This... After studying for a year, I can barely meet people." Ye Zhen said with a smile.

"..." Old Princess An felt as if several knives had been stabbed in her heart. The words she had learned all her life were not as good as those who had learned them for a year?

Mrs. Zhen Guohou covered her mouth and held back her smile, "Your Majesty is talented, and she can learn everything easily. Some people can't even study for a lifetime."

Old Princess An gave her a cold look.

Ye Zhen sat down again, as if she didn't see the embarrassment on the old Princess An's face, "Some things do require talent, and this palace's talent is not here, and I never like to show shame."

"If you have no talent like this, then we really don't have to live." Madam Zhen Guohou said with a smile.

Old Princess An was unwilling to be humiliated like this, she glanced at Ye Zhen, and her fighting spirit became high again, "I still have a proposal to tell the empress."

Ye Zhen knew that Old Princess An came here today with malicious intentions, so she asked lightly, "What suggestion does Old Princess An have?"

"The Kingdom of Jin has not issued a chastity archway to those widowed chaste women so far. Should the empress give some commendation to these chaste women?" Old Princess An said.

"Recognition of chastity women?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows with a half-smile, "I remember Empress Qi once said that a woman should not be hanged on a tree, the tree is already dead, do you still want to die? From Ben Gong’s point of view, it is a very stupid thing for a young woman to observe festivals for her dead husbands, so asking Ben Gong to award the festival memorial archway means that Ben Gong will ruin the lives of all women who want to remarry in the world?”

Old Princess An probably didn't expect Ye Zhen to say such straightforward and clear words in support of the widow's remarriage, she was so stunned that she was speechless on the spot.

"What does the empress mean...do you think it's okay for widows to remarry?" the fifth princess sitting beside her asked in a low voice.

Ye Zhen smiled lightly and said, "I think this should be based on my own wish. She is willing to be a widow because of her deep affection. She doesn't want to and she doesn't have to force it."

"Nonsense!" Old Princess An shouted angrily.

"Presumptuous!" Lu He stared coldly, "Old Princess An, how can you be rude to the Queen?"

Old Concubine An took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, don't you think that women in the world don't have to observe chastity, which is simply against the ancestral system..."

"The system is made by people. Since Empress Qi can support widows to remarry, why can't I?" Ye Zhen asked in a deep voice, staring at Old Princess An calmly.

Old Princess An wanted to argue again, but she couldn't find anything to say.
