Chapter 321 Ouyang Shi
After that, Emperor Cangwu was depressed because he could not live in a beautiful room.
Xu Chenzhou: "Sir Wang, not long ago, many dignitaries from the capital came to Youzhu Mountain. Have you ever met them?"
Wang Yangzhong really didn't notice it, mainly because he was not familiar with the people in the capital, and he wouldn't recognize them even if they met.
What's more, Youzhu Mountain is crowded with people every day. Fortunately, I have a bracelet, otherwise it would be difficult to find someone.
Xu Chenzhou was not disappointed. After all, they were all in Youzhu Mountain and they would meet each other someday.
As soon as the thought came to mind, I saw several familiar figures in the team.
Xu Chenzhou raised a malicious smile at the corner of his lips, "Your Majesty, look, those people seem to be the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince and the fifth princess."
Hearing this, Emperor Cangwu looked up and his eyes narrowed immediately.
Aren’t the three people arm in arm not far away those bastards of his?
They were fighting so hard in the capital, but now they are brothers.
Ouyang Yi, Ouyang Chen, Ouyang Rui and Ouyang Shi obviously didn't notice them. They certainly didn't expect that the emperor would actually distribute summer heat elixir.
Now, all the people in Youzhu Mountain are here. They heard that the fairy water bestowed by the goddess of gods can prevent heatstroke, so they all come to line up.
There were too many people, more than a hundred lines in total.
It just so happened that the four siblings were in Emperor Cangwu's team.
When it was their turn, they didn't even raise their heads and were still laughing and playing.
Until a sinister voice sounded faintly, somewhat familiar, "You guys stand aside."
The people who were laughing just now stopped laughing instantly.
Ouyang Yi's neck was stiff, he dared not raise his head, he grabbed the sleeve of Ouyang Chen behind him, "Chen, I seem to be sick, you help me get the fairy water, I will go back to rest first."
Ouyang Chen rested his forehead on the back of his shoulder, "Brother, I feel weak all of a sudden, I am afraid I am sick too, Rui, please help the brothers get the fairy water."
Ouyang Rui: "...sister"
Ouyang Shi: "Coward."
Emperor Cangwu laughed a deadly cold laugh and said in a deep voice: "Don't delay the people behind you, stand aside!"
Don't ask him why he is angry.
Maybe he's feeling unbalanced. I had a narrow escape from death and almost went to see the King of Hell, but these bastards came here early to eat, drink and have fun, and they live a more comfortable life than him.
Perhaps it was because life in Youzhu Mountain was too peaceful and harmonious, and everyone seemed to be equal here. Gradually, several princes and princesses forgot their own identities.
Sometimes when I think back to my days in Beijing late at night, my first thought is that it’s actually pretty good to live here.
There is no struggle, no conspiracy, no calculation, no constraints, no rules.
Do whatever you want without worrying about your image. You can laugh out loud with your arms and legs bared, or you can sit on the ground and play around.
Here, they found themselves.
It turns out that what they subconsciously yearn for is freedom, and seizing that position is nothing more than obeying the track of history, or fighting for a hope of survival for themselves.
After letting go of all this, they realized how relaxing it was to be without shackles. In fact, what bound them was not only the imperial power, but also their own thoughts.
It was only here that they realized that the best thing in the world is not necessarily the supreme position, but can also be drinking and chatting with a few good friends. It all depends on how you look at it.
At least in their minds, they are happy now.
Ouyang Shi is in even stronger contrast. When she is in Beijing, she must be dignified and virtuous, and there must not be any mistakes in etiquette. Even when she smiles, the curve of her mouth must be as if measured with a ruler.
When walking, she moves with lotus steps and takes small and quick steps.
Chew in small bites when eating, and don't be greedy, only eat two or three bites at most.
A woman was not allowed to leave the palace before she got married. She stayed in the palace every day, like a sparrow kept in a golden cage. She never felt that she was a phoenix.
She seemed to be wearing gorgeous clothes and exquisite and precious golden hairpins, but in fact, they were shackles that had transformed into another form, binding her.
After coming here, her favorite thing is the TV series broadcast every night.
The TV series depicts another time and space.
It was at this time that she realized that the three obediences and four virtues for women were all bullshit.
She had scoffed at the Three Obediences and Four Virtues since she was young, but her mother and the nanny kept teaching her those bullshit etiquettes like obey your father before marriage, obey your husband after marriage, and obey your son after your husband's death. If she resisted, they would keep nagging in her ears.
Ouyang Shi had to make compromises. As she grew older, her thoughts gradually matured, and she no longer said things that were considered "heretical" and "treasonous" to them as she did when she was young.
She learned to pretend.
She followed her mother's teachings and became a kind and virtuous woman. She didn't speak too loudly or in a harsh tone, but was gentle and considerate in order to please men.
If you give birth to a big fat boy in the future, you will be blessed for the rest of your life.
These are what her mother would say every day.
Her mother placed everything on men.
She doesn't want this.
She wanted to resist and scream.
She said in an almost desperate tone, "Mother, why do you have to make women live like puppets?"
The virtuous concubine was startled and instinctively wanted to scold her, but she heard her daughter continue to mutter:
"She has been tied up since birth, controlling her fate. She cannot show her face before marriage. After marriage, she must take care of her husband and children and be trapped in the backyard for the rest of her life. Then what is the meaning of our coming into this world? Just to give birth to children for men and serve them wholeheartedly? Is this the meaning of our coming into this world?"
Ouyang Shi smiled and looked at her mother, "If that's the case, I'd rather not come."
Why should she depend on a man to live?
Concubine Xian was shocked. She knew that her daughter had been different from others since she was a child and always said shocking things.
I thought she would be sensible when she grows up.
But I never expected that she would have such thoughts in her mind.
"Princess, you can't think like that...it has been like this since ancient times."
"Has it been right since ancient times?" Ouyang Shi thought it was ridiculous. "Men are taming women, and women are helping men tame women, as if women's lives are dedicated to men. Obviously women are also human beings, so why can men live freely and wantonly, but women can't?"
"Why can a man have three wives and four concubines, but still expect a woman to be loyal to him forever? Even if the man dies, the woman is still expected to remain a widow and chaste for him? Bah! What kind of bullshit is this?"
The Concubine Xian's pupils suddenly shrank, and she was horrified, "Princess, you, you are crazy, how can you say such treasonous words! If everyone in the world knew about this, you would be cursed by everyone!"
She didn't understand why her daughter was born different from others and why she couldn't be more obedient and sensible.
