Chapter 356 What About the Daughter's Body
"Okay! Sister Wei, let me tell you that there is a tea house near the Qujiang Pool, and their cherry cheese is delicious! Let's go eat together then!" Cui Yurong wished it was New Year's Eve, and felt a little worried: "It's just now The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the seats are probably full!"

Qiao Yun smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter, I know their boss, and I will send someone to tell them tomorrow!"

"Business is so good?" Zhao Xiwei was curious.

"That's right!" Cui Yurong and Qiao Yunqian looked at each other and smiled, "In Chang'an City, they are the only ones that have sweet tea!"

"Sweet tea?"

"Hmm! It's made with cheese and fruit pulp, and there are all kinds of flavors. Sister Wei, you must try it if you go!"

Zhao Xiwei's heart moved: "Okay, can you introduce the owner of the restaurant to me?"

"It's okay to see." Qiao Yunqian nodded, "It's just that the boss is a woman from the Western Regions and doesn't know much about our rules. Sister Wei, don't be offended."

Some doubts: "Sister Wei, what do you want to see her for?"

They regarded themselves as friends, and Zhao Xiwei treated each other frankly: "I am going to open a teahouse, which is next to Qiao's mansion."

"That's a good thing." Qiao Yunqian's eyes lit up, "Sister, do you still remember what we said before—" before the words came out, they stopped abruptly.

At that time, Zhao Xiwei wanted to open a shop, so Qiao Yunqian took out his private money, firstly to help out kindly, and secondly to pave the way for himself.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiwei did not get a positive response.

But now, Zhao Xiwei is already a princess, so she doesn't need other people's "kind help"...

"Remember." Zhao Xiwei saw through her embarrassment and said with a smile: "Business and opening a shop is not a trivial matter, how can I manage it alone? Besides, with my current status, I can't often go out, you If you don't mind, I still need your help with a lot of things."

"I don't mind! I don't mind!" Cui Yurong rushed to answer: "Anyway, I'm idle, I'm idle. If sister Wei needs our help, just ask someone to tell you. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Qiao Yunqian nodded, and suddenly asked: "But sister Wei, does His Highness the Crown Prince agree with you to open a shop?"

This question stumped Zhao Xiwei.

Although the folk customs of Great Wei are open, there are many women who show their faces, such as Zhao Chengyu's mother, Yuan Shi, who owns several shops under her hands.

But as the princess of the Eastern Palace, it is absolutely impossible to do business in an aboveboard manner...

"What's the matter, sister Wei, it's fine if you don't show up!" Cui Yurong disagreed.

"That's different." Qiao Yunqian said bluntly: "Sister Wei, since we are good friends, I will naturally say what I have. If you want to run a shop, you'd better ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Those people in China are making a fuss about it."

Zhao Xiwei felt warm when he heard this.

Qiao Yunqian is so outspoken because she really thinks about herself.

"Sister Yunqian is still thoughtful." After thinking about it, she also revealed her inner thoughts truthfully, "I'm not doing it for money, I just want to try to do something for myself while I'm young and free." What. Sister, you also know that with the current situation of the Zhao Mansion, I can rely on too little. If I don’t make more plans for myself, I will not be able to rely on His Highness for everything in the future, right? Although His Highness has protected me a lot, But I can't point to him to solve all the big and small problems."

The words don't need to be too explicit, Qiao Yunqian has already understood.

She had also heard about Zhao Xiwei's situation after returning to the mansion.

The grandmother is eccentric, the aunt hates it, and the younger sister plots.

And now that the aunt is pregnant, if she gives birth to a boy in the future, can this biological father still be trusted?
Without a reliable natal family, this princess lacks confidence.

Qiao Yun sighed lightly, feeling a little distressed: "I know your situation. In fact, why am I not? I am the only daughter in my family, and my father raised my daughter as his son, taught me foreign language, and showed me Qianshan. Wan Shui, outsiders think I'm doted on, but I'm just a daughter... Besides, my father still has several young and beautiful concubines. If someone gives birth to a son, everything will be hard to say... "

Zhao Xiwei couldn't help being a little surprised.

On the one hand, she was surprised that Qiao Yunqian had such worries, and on the other hand, she was also surprised that she trusted her, and she poured out the trivial matters in the house to herself without reservation.

She took Qiao Yunqian's hand with a smile, and comforted softly: "As women, we really don't have many things for us to choose. For those things that cannot be changed, we can only try to accept them, and for those that can If we change, we have to boldly change it, so that we will not be trapped by the world in the inner house, and we will not worry about the family's shortcomings."

"In these years, I have suffered all kinds of hardships, and I have suffered all kinds of supercilious glances." She lowered her voice, but her tone was still so calm: "I know, those people in the Zhao Mansion are very unconvinced in private, thinking that I can have today's full life." It's because of my father's relationship. But they didn't think about it, if I resigned to fate, how dare I come to Chang'an to meet my father? Back then, if I didn't fight to the death in Lianhua Temple, how could I get my grandmother to look at me differently? "

She smiled sarcastically: "They only know to hate me, but they don't know that I can have today, I earned it step by step..."

Qiao Yunqian recalled the time at Lianhua Temple, and she was still a little terrified: "Sister Wei, were you not afraid at all?"

"I'm afraid." Zhao Xiwei smiled meaninglessly, "But there's nothing I can do about it, because if I shrink back that day, all the aristocratic daughters in the capital will look down on me, and Zhao's mansion will never have an inch of me again. gain a foothold……"

She thought of Li Xuanye.

It was his feathered arrow that pierced through the forest that saved her life in time.

At that time, it was only thought that he happened to pass by, but now that I think about it, I realize that he must have been watching in the forest for a long time.

At that time, he, like everyone else, was waiting to see her performance.

If she was crying and crying at that time, he probably wouldn't have looked at her more!
Qiao Yunqian was a little distracted, and murmured: "Sister Wei, I envy you so much. I also want to be as brave as you, and strive for what I want step by step."

After a pause, she looked at Zhao Xiwei, with tears in her bright eyes: "... No matter how much my father spoils me, I am not a son. There are many things that I want to do but dare not..."

It's really unexpected that a person who usually looks so free and easy has so many constraints in his heart.

Although it was very strange, since the other party didn't take the initiative to mention it, Zhao Xiwei thoughtfully chose not to pursue it.

"Don't be afraid." Zhao Xiwei took out his handkerchief, wiped Qiao Yunqian's face gently, and said softly: "At any time, you just remember these words—"

Qiao Yunqian opened her watery eyes wide: "What?"

"A daughter should be self-improving, why is she inferior to a man?" Zhao Xi smiled, put his hands on her shoulders, looked at her with gentle but calm eyes, and said softly: "So what if you are a daughter? You just have to do it." After making a career and slapping those people in the face severely, who would dare to say that Miss Qiao's family is not as good as a man?"

"Sister Wei is right!" Qiao Yunqian nodded heavily, and suddenly felt a little shy again: "Actually, when I heard that you were going to open a shop, I was moved, and I asked Sister Wei not to laugh at me... "

"What am I making fun of you for?" Zhao Xiwei twitched his lips, "With a good helper like you, I can't be happier!"
