When she closed the carved hollow lattice window and turned around, she found Shangguan Feng'er beside her bed, reaching out to turn over the quilt. Yuan'er trotted over quickly, fearing that Shangguan Feng'er would see the secret under the quilt, "Master,
Come here, slave."
Shangguan Feng'er laughed ambiguously and suddenly asked, "Is your back sore?"
Yuan'er came to Shangguan Feng'er, blinked, "Yeah." She nodded, then suddenly thought of something, and quickly shook her head in denial.
"Yuan'er, how many years have you been with me?" Shangguan Feng'er didn't care whether she nodded or shook her head, stood up, put a hand on Yuan'er's shoulder, and looked at her sincerely.
"I entered the palace at the age of ten, and now I have almost seventeen thoughts." Yuan'er looked away, feeling guilty and not daring to look at Shangguan Feng'er.
Shangguan Feng'er sat alone at the table, with her back to Yuan'er, "You are the same age as Zixuan. Now that Zixuan is with Zhong Xin, you are now older. Have you never thought about being like her?"
Twenty-seven years old is already very old for women in this era. It is difficult to get married, and even in modern times, they are labeled as leftover women.
After Shangguan Hao ascended the throne, under the initiative of Shangguan Feng'er and Shangguan Chen, Zixuan married Na Zhongxin, and Su Su also married Liu Shijie.
Yuan'er heard Shangguan Feng'er's words and hurriedly walked up to her, "Master, I have said that I don't want to marry anyone in this life, I just want to stay by the princess's side."
She didn't expect something like this to happen today, and she knew in her heart that Shangguan Feng'er found out, but she really never thought about living with the person she likes like Zixuan. She just felt that her life should be with her.
Aunt Mo Xi also guarded her master all her life. Even if the master died, she would still guard his master's grave.
Shangguan Feng'er sighed softly and pulled Yuan'er to him, "Yuan'er, you know, there is such a place in this world, where people are rich or poor, ugly or beautiful, and there is no distinction between high and low.
Everyone is equal and has the right to pursue their own happiness." Regarding life planning, Yuan'er has no ideas of her own at all. She only knows to simply follow Aunt Mo Xi's life trajectory, just like the story of the shepherd boy.
.
A man once went to a poor mountainous area and saw a boy herding sheep on the hillside. He went over and asked him, 'Why are you herding sheep?'
The shepherd boy told the man that he was herding sheep to make money, and then sold the money to get a wife and have children.
The man continued to ask, 'After you get married and have a baby, what do you want your baby to do? Is it to study, become an official, or do business?'
But the shepherd boy said, "My grandfather gave a sheep whip and several sheep to my father, and my father gave me a sheep whip and several sheep. After I gave birth to the baby, I did nothing else but gave a sheep
Whip him, give him some sheep, and let him continue to herd them.'
Yuan'er looked at Shangguan Feng'er doubtfully, "Everyone is equal and has the right to pursue their own happiness?" She only knew that everyone was born unequal, even the people in her village were different.
For example, the daughter of landlord Zhu from the village had new clothes to wear during the holidays, while the children from common people could only wear the least patched clothes during the New Year. She was better off because Aunt Mo Xi was working in the palace and she was deeply involved.
Under the care of Concubine Liu, she can wear beautiful clothes every year.
Shangguan Feng'er nodded affirmatively, "Suppose there is a group of people, including rich and poor, high-ranking officials and civilians. If you take off all their clothes and accessories and leave them naked, will you recognize who they are?
?" It won't work to tell Yuan'er something too advanced, and she doesn't know how to do it either.
