Snowy Chang'an Road

The words Pei Ying said unintentionally sounded very familiar to her. It turns out that people really influence each other if they get along with each other for a long time.

Hearing her say this, Pei Sheng's mood improved visibly.

Pei Sheng took a bite of pastry and asked, "Sister, what about you? You have been married to your brother -in -law for a year, are you pregnant?"

Hearing Pei Sheng's words, Pei Ying was speechless, but she still smiled and replied: "No, although we have been married for a year, we have been traveling to fight and have no time to think about these things."

Pei Sheng thought for a while and said: "That's right. Now that most of the kings with different surnames have been pacified, the remaining few do not pose much of a threat. Now that you and your brother-in-law have returned to Chang'an, you can prepare to have a child. I am one year younger than you." She is already pregnant at the age of 10, so sister, you need to hurry up."

Pei Ying said yes, but she was thinking in her heart that in terms of age, Pei Sheng is just a minor. But now she is persuading herself to have a child. The generation gap in her mind is invisible and intangible, but it is real. With.

Under the rule of this feudal dynasty, the mother's thoughts were deeply fixed, and they had a child. To be more accurate, there was a boy who had a boy. It was almost a mission for women.

Every time she thinks about this, Pei Ying always feels depressed in her heart. There is a huge difference between the education she received and the environment she lives in today. And she can only bear the inner feelings caused by this gap alone. Digested in silence.

Pei Sheng sent Pei Ying away from the East Palace. Outside the palace gate, Wei Shao had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother-in-law."

"I've met the Crown Princess."

"Did you come here specifically to wait for your sister?"

"Yes."

Pei Sheng's heart was filled with envy. What Pei Ying could easily possess was an extravagant wish that was beyond her reach.

This reminded her of how when they first got married, His Majesty held a family banquet in the palace. During the dinner, Wei Shao and Pei Ying had a lively conversation, which aroused her jealousy and deliberately used wine to make things difficult for Pei Ying.

Now Pei Sheng's heart is full of envy, and she has learned to control her jealousy.

"Sister is so lucky. Brother-in-law, you and your sister should hurry up and give your father another grandson as soon as possible."

Wei Shao originally disliked Pei Sheng very much, but after getting along for a long time, his feelings for Pei Ying became deeper and deeper. In addition, the relationship between Pei Ying and her continued to ease, and Wei Shao gradually let go of his grudge and fell in love with Wu Jiwu.

"Okay, let me lend you some good words from the Crown Princess."

On the carriage back home, Pei Ying sat next to Wei Shao. At Wei Shao's request, the two of them clasped their fingers.

"I originally thought it would take some time for you to find His Majesty, but I never thought it would be faster than me."

"I told Her Majesty our thoughts that His Majesty did not show his position directly, but told me that let him think about it again."

"Do your best and obey destiny."

"it is good."

In the morning court the next day, just as Wei Yuan had planned, the counselors and civil servants still refused to give in to each other. This time, Wei Yuan stopped them.

It's as easy as water to say it three times. This matter has been discussed for almost five days. No matter what happens today, we should have a result.

Wu Yan's "quiet", and the main hall was instantly peaceful.

"My dear friends, we have been arguing for so many days, but there is still no result, but I have an idea."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Wei Yuan, with expectations, doubts, and confusion in their gazes. "The one Hu Nan Chanyu asked to marry is my princess of the Wei Dynasty, not the princess in the palace. There are many girls in the Wei clan who are waiting to be married. I have already ordered people to send letters. There will be news in a few days. , if there is a girl in the clan who is willing to marry the Xiongnu, I will make her a princess and send her off to marry with the ceremony of Princess Zhaoyuan."

As soon as these words came out, the officials started talking again.

For the two parties involved, Wei Yan and Wei Xuan, and their mothers and concubines, this was great news, and it solved their urgent need without any effort.

But for those courtiers who had been arguing for a long time, this was nothing but a waste of effort.

"There is another thing. Ba He Yitu, the envoy sent by Hunan Chanyu to the Wei Dynasty this time, is the brother of Shanshan, his Dalan clan. This person has a very high status in the Xiongnu tribe and should not be underestimated. , King of Peiping, you and your princess have been on an envoy to the Huns, and this time we are hosting the Hun envoys Ba and Yitu, and I will leave them to you and your wife."

"I accept the decree."

A few days later, a reply came indeed, saying that there was a girl from the clan who was waiting to be married, who was willing to marry the Xiongnu far away and accept his majesty's fiefdom and rewards.

When I heard the news at first, Pei Yan was a little unbelievable, but when she saw Wei Shao's determination, she believed it.

"There are such cruel parents in the world who are willing to marry their own daughters to the Xiongnu tribe."

"It's just a matter of weighing the pros and cons and sacrificing a daughter in exchange for the prosperity of this lineage and food and clothing for the rest of my life. Although Your Majesty is the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, he is from a commoner background, and the emperor also has several poor relatives."

"In short, much of the advancement of history has been at the expense of women, including marriages and the glory of the family. This seems to be people's acquiescence, but no one has ever asked these women how they feel, and no one cares about these. Things that are illusory in the eyes of the world.”

"Pei Ying, let me tell you, don't be unhappy."

Wei Shao said tentatively.

"Since you know I will be unhappy, then don't say anything."

"it is good."

Seeing him like this, Pei Ying's curiosity was aroused again.

"Wei Shao, tell me, it's really hard to hear half of what you said."

"Most men in this world think that women are their appendages."

"Do you think so too?"

Wei Shao shook his head in denial.

"I know that you are different from all the women I have met. I have never regarded you as a subordinate in my heart. You are you. Even if you marry someone else without me, Wei Shao, you will still be yourself."

After listening to his serious explanation, Pei Ying also became serious.

"Wei Shao, I don't agree with what you said. It is precisely because of marrying you that I can be myself freely. If I marry another man, he will think that I am his subordinate. If you trap me, who can guarantee that I am not a miserable woman trapped deep in the courtyard?"

The traces given to us by the times cannot be changed by human struggle and resistance. In the feudal era, Pei Ying was lucky to meet a man like Wei Shao who was willing to respect women, but this was not the norm for men in this era.

Similarly, when Wei Shao met a woman like Pei Ying, she was willing to bear the ups and downs of life with him and always supported him firmly. Pei Ying did not hide behind him blindly, but chose to stand side by side with him and face it together. , this is not the norm for women in this era.

Two-way growth is what they really need.
