The customs of Southern Yan were much more conservative than those of Northern Qin, especially the restrictions on women.
Girls who have not yet left the court are not even allowed to show their faces and must wear a veil when going out. Especially nobles from aristocratic families have extremely strict requirements on women's reputation.
Therefore, it is conceivable that when Xiao Lingyue was in Nanyan, she disguised herself as a man and entered the military camp. For several years, she ate and slept with countless male soldiers, made public appearances, and was even awarded the title of Major General.
When her identity was exposed, the entire Nanyan court was shocked. No matter men, women, old or young, everyone pointed their noses at her and scolded her for being shameless, despicable and dissolute. There were even many censors who wrote to the palace, strongly demanding that she be executed.
Wei Shaorong".
How about soaking pig cages, parading in the streets, humiliating and vicious people.
Nan Yan could not accept a woman standing in the court.
Therefore, after the female identity of "Wei Shaorong" was exposed, she had to face not only all kinds of humiliation and abuse, but also the calamity of death, including open and covert arrows.
If Murong Ye, as the prince, had not protected her, she might have been imprisoned in the pig cage.
But the irony is.
The womanhood of "Wei Shaorong" was exposed, and it was also the mastermind of Murong Ye.
If it hadn't been for him, Xiao Lingyue would not have let her identity be exposed and put herself in danger of being surrounded on all sides.
I recall the overwhelming insults and attacks during that period.
Xiao Lingyue smiled flatly - what are these rumors now? They can't even be called drizzle.
She has experienced the difficulties and forbearance that Wan Fu refers to, so she will not put those unpleasant words in her eyes.
Looking at the angry Chu Yuanqi, Xiao Lingyue even comforted him: "You don't have to worry about me, and you don't have to stand up for me. They can say whatever they like. I just do what I should do, no matter how bad my reputation is.
It doesn't affect me either.
But you are different.
You are the young prince of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and you will enter the court in the future.
There is no need to have grudges with those gentlemen and ladies because of me, it will not be good for your future path.
So the next time you hear something unpleasant, just ignore it and there is no need to speak for me."
People like to stick together.
When a circle has the same voice and someone objects, others will reject that person or even expel him from the circle.
Xiao Lingyue was in Northern Qin and her status was awkward.
She neither belongs to the common people nor can she integrate into the aristocratic class.
She had no title, but not enough family background behind her. Even the Shen family collapsed, and she was the only one left.
So she is destined to be incompatible with those noble ladies.
She didn't even think about blending in with them.
But Chu Yuanqi was different.
He himself is one of the noble children of Northern Qin. Being among them, it is inevitable to follow the default rules, go against the majority of people in the same class, and even make enemies. This is not a good thing for Chu Yuanqi himself.
Xiao Lingyue understands this.
Chu Yuanqi knew it in his heart, but he still did it.
"I'm not afraid of making grudges with them. If they want to blame them, just blame me. What else can they do to me?"
He looked at Xiao Lingyue and said seriously: "I just don't want to hear them slander you. You are obviously not that kind of person, so why do they say so unpleasant things?" This chapter has been completed!
