Chapter 301: Three Obediences and Four Virtues, Heresy

As soon as these words finished, a cold voice came from the side: "If Miss Rong wants to learn martial arts, you can come to me. What can I do to embarrass the eldest princess?"

Everyone in the pavilion turned to look.

A tall and slender woman walked over, without even a maid. She was alone, holding a curled whip in her hand.

"Xuanxuan, do you still dare to come?" Rong Ning's face turned cold as if seeing an enemy, "I haven't settled the accounts with you from the past few days."

The woman's name is Xuan Xuan, the concubine of General Xuan. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has a fierce temperament. In Shengjing, a place where women are required to be gentle and submissive, she is like an alternative, so she is very ostracized by men.

In addition, she was born as a concubine.

Men looked down on her origins and disliked her rudeness. Therefore, Xuan Xuan was belittled and ridiculed by the men. Even some noble ladies who thought they were proud and aloof did not bother to associate with her. They always thought that she had lost their womanhood. face.

But Xuan Xuan never forgives others, just don't let her know if you laugh behind your back.

If someone confronts her, she will be whipped.

Fortunately, her father is a general, and the Xuan family is trusted by the queen, so no one dares to do anything to her even if there is a big fuss, and those men with bad mouths can only suffer the consequences of being dumb.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess." Xuan Xuan walked up to the pavilion and bowed respectfully to Yan Li, "The eldest princess is a thousand years old."

Yan Li's eyes fell on this heroic woman's face, and the corner of her mouth raised slightly: "No need to be polite."

Rong Ning gritted his teeth and cursed: "Flattery."

Yan Li and Xuan Xuan turned to look at her at the same time, and then in full view of everyone, Xuan Xuan walked over, raised her hand and slapped her.

"What are you doing?" Rong Ning jumped up, covered his face and glared at Xuan Xuan, "Are you looking for death?"

Xuan Xuan looked at her coldly: "I am bowing to the eldest princess normally, but you are calling me a flatterer behind my back. I dare to ask Miss Rong, if the courtesy of a monarch and his minister is a flatterer, does it mean that you have no monarch at all in your heart?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Rong Ning's face changed and he denied it subconsciously.

"Then you deliberately set me up and wronged me." Xuan Xuan's eyes were cold, "Can you tell me, what part of my behavior just now was flattering?"

"I...I..." A look of panic appeared on Rong Ning's face, and he turned to look at Yan Li.

Yan Li raised her eyebrows slightly: "I also want to know, how does Miss Xuan's behavior sound like flattery?"

Rong Ning bit his lip and was about to apologize, but Qi Yao took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, Xuan Xuan and Rong Ning have had many disagreements before. What Rong Ning said was only based on Xuan Xuan's previous behavior, not To say that her salute to the eldest princess is flattering."

Rong Ning's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately: "Yes, I am not saying that her behavior today is flattering, but that she has always been a person who flatters those who are superior and suppresses those who are inferior! Moreover, Xuan Xuan came from a humble background and was only the concubine of General Xuan. Her reputation in Shengjing is terrible! If the eldest princess doesn’t believe it, you might as well ask other people present and don’t be fooled by her disguise.”

"That's right." Qi Yao was the first to nod, "As a woman, she should be well-educated, courteous and docile, but Xuan Xuan is not only rude and uneducated, but she is also superior to men in every way. She -"

Yan Li interrupted her: "Miss Qi likes to be oppressed by men?"

Qi Yao was stunned: "Elder...Your Highness the eldest princess?"

"This princess is asking you a question." Yan Li said in an indifferent tone, "Do you think that men are born noble and women are born inferior, so they should be oppressed by men of course?"

Qi Yao froze and stood up unconsciously, her pretty face flushed slightly: "I just abide by the rules, abide by the etiquette, understand the duties of a woman, and know what the three obediences and four virtues are. She is not as deviant as Xuan Xuan, I hope the eldest princess Observe clearly.”

"That's right." Yan Li nodded slowly, as if he agreed with her words, "Unfortunately, this princess is also a deviant, so when you abuse and slander me in the future, will you take me with you?"

Qi Yao's expression suddenly changed and she looked up at Yan Li in disbelief.

Yan Li raised his eyebrows and looked at her, looking calm and content.

"Elder... how can the eldest princess be compared with Xuan Xuan?" Qi Yao lowered her head, feeling resentful and dissatisfied in her heart, but she maintained respect on her face, "Xuan Xuan is just the concubine of General Xuan. The eldest princess has a distinguished status, and the ministers must not dare to slander."

"So what you are slandering is not this deviant behavior, but her status as a concubine?"

Qi Yao paused for a moment, his face mixed with blue and white: "I..."

"Actually, Miss Qi is also dissatisfied with the eldest princess." Xuan Xuan stood aside and added, "It's just that the eldest princess's status prevents her from slandering her."

Chu Qinqin nodded: "I also agree with what Miss Xuan said. Qi Yao just wants to slander the eldest princess."

"I didn't!" Qi Yao turned pale and looked at Xuan Xuan and Chu Qinqin angrily, "What are your intentions for spitting blood?"

"You are spitting blood?" Xuan Xuan sneered, "Didn't you just propose that the eldest princess compete with Rong Ning? Why, do you think Rong Ning is already noble enough to be on an equal footing with the eldest princess?"

Qi Yao was speechless by her words, but the suggestion just now was indeed made by her.

Worried about causing Yan Li's dissatisfaction, Qi Yao could only kneel down and said, "I know my mistake, please forgive me, the eldest princess."

Rong Ning looked at this scene that was obviously beyond his expectations, and suddenly became restless, his face turning green and white.

"Rong Ning." Xuan Xuan looked at her provocatively, "Don't you want to compete? In front of the princess, do you dare to compete with me alone?"

Rong Ning bit her lip in anger, and wanted to ask her: "Are you worthy?"

However, even though she was extremely dissatisfied, she did not dare to act recklessly in the palace.

The princess who just came back was stupid and rebellious. She defended Xuan Xuan, a concubine, without knowing right or wrong. She had no brains at all. Sooner or later, she would be backfired by her own stupidity and ignorance.

"I'm not feeling well today." Rong Ning picked up the teacup to cover up her gaffe. "Let's compete again when we have time. Besides, today is the princess's flower-viewing banquet. What's the point of showing off in the palace?"

Xuan Xuan sneered: "If you are not as good as others, just admit it generously. Don't make so many excuses."

As soon as the voice fell, a figure hurried over on the corridor in the distance: "Princess."

Yan Li turned her head to look.

The person who came was Yun Si, a female official beside the queen. She was dressed in a red robe and looked beautiful and calm. She looked calm from a distance.

"Princess." After walking into the pavilion, Yun Si bowed to Yan Li and then reported slowly, "General Xuan and Prime Minister Ji have brought the Kang family back. The concubines in Kang Zixu's backyard suddenly changed their minds and said that they followed Kang Zixu willingly, and it was not that the Kang family forcibly occupied good women. So they asked the emperor and the queen to spare the Kang family. Several ministers in the Qinzheng Palace were arguing fiercely. The queen asked the princess to go over."
