Everyone knew that Hu Xiao had the guts to be meticulous, but none of them thought that Hu Xiao had the guts to say these words in front of Qin Shuo! Even Qin Shuo’s face slowly changed under Hu Xiao’s words.
It didn’t matter if he lost the match, nor did it matter if he lost the position of empress. What mattered was his own little life!
Seeing how Hu Xiao’s head drooped lower and lower as she spoke, the few of them were extremely worried. They wanted to hint at Hu Xiao to shut up, but Hu Xiao could not see it at all!
Qin Shuo’s face darkened even more, it was obvious that the few smiling people were also anxiously looking at Hu Xiao, wanting to make Hu Xiao stop what she was saying.
This is also what you call ’monarch’ and ’subject’. It’s really funny, I just think that I can get along with His Majesty as a friend, and better govern the affairs of the empire to promote the prosperity of the East Court, but all of you have been using the old, abandoned rules to threaten and restrict His Majesty! Restrain me! All men and women are equal in this world, but why is it that women are so unbearable in your eyes?!
Hu Xiao’s words caused the few of them to be shocked, they did not know how to react. What Hu Xiao had said was true, and this was something everyone knew, but everyone understood it, and no one should say such words, to break the current silence!
"How dare you, Hu Xiao! How could she say such filthy words! this is simply abandoning the teachings of our ancestors! "
Wen Fuchen was shocked, he anxiously wanted to interrupt Hu Xiao, but his mouth was wide open, causing Empress to forget, blurting out Hu Xiao’s name.
"Speaking of which, who would be braver than you, Wen Fuchen? Wasn’t the one who just blurted out ’master’, ’servant’, and ’servant’, were they? Then since I am the noble empress, even if I am a woman, I will still be your wife and will also be your master, Wen Fuchen. You have the guts to directly call out my name! "
The words that Wen Fuchen had just said were filled with regret, and now that he saw how Hu Xiao said it, he was even more terrified. Qin Shuo’s gaze became even colder, and it was as if she was going to swallow him whole.
"However, I do not wish to quarrel with you right now. It is only natural for the monarch and his subjects to collaborate with each other. That is enough."
Closing his eyes, he tried his best to hold back the tears in his eyes. Just now, he had said his own grievances, and it didn’t matter if he committed crimes or not, he didn’t mind if Qin Shuo hated him because of that, if he didn’t say what he had done, she wouldn’t be her, Hu Xiao.
For a long time, no one dared to make a sound.
"In the end, the empress has still won this match." ƒгeewebnovёl_com
then spoke slowly, the gloominess on his face had receded a lot, but his eyes were burning hot as he looked at Hu Xiao.
"This concubine thanks Your Majesty. May Your Majesty allow this concubine to say a few more words?"
His gaze had already regained its clarity, and he was looking straight at Qin Shuo without any fear.
"Queen, please."
Qin Shuo was now even more curious about Hu Xiao, curious as to what else Hu Xiao would say. Indeed, it was as Hu Xiao had said, that Zhao Qiyan’s words indeed made Qin Shuo very satisfied, but that satisfaction had actually been somewhat numbed, until Hu Xiao destroyed the contents of the greenhouse, and allowed him to clear her mind.
His entire body was covered with a treasure, Qin Shuo felt that he still couldn’t quite understand Hu Xiao.
"Thank you Your Majesty, but in fact, I am not interested in any of you slandering me. I just want my East Court to get better and better, and perhaps you do not know how pitiful it is for the women who are servants at the bottom level. They are intelligent, but because everyone’s impression of them is that they should be taught by women, women should not appear at home, they should not do this, they should not do this, it is East Court instead, the majority of the women are sad."
If a man’s wife died due to illness or an accident, she could pass on her life just for the sake of inheriting the family, but if the man passed on, the woman could only remain a widow, taking care of her husband and children, she couldn’t even remarry.
A man could have three wives and four concubines, but a woman could only share a husband with them. How could she not feel sorrowful?
"Actually, running a school is just to provide talent for the East Court, no matter if it’s a man or woman, they can all go to school, isn’t that good?"
"Well, why not? Didn’t the Empress just win? There won’t be much trouble in the future. "
Hu Xiao was originally feeling sad for him, but the words comforted him a little, and she smiled at Yin Fufeng, showing her gratitude.
But these people were getting happier, and with Wen Fuchen leading the group of civil servants, their faces darkened, but they were willing to accept their loss, furthermore, it was Qin Shuo who personally presided over the bet, and he had filtered all of Hu Xiao’s words in their minds, even they felt that Hu Xiao’s words were reasonable, and that with his ashen face, he was just giving them face.
This move of Hu Xiao’s could be said to be a move of a higher level, to put him on the brink of death and come back to life, and to obtain what she wanted was also considered to be a stroke of luck.
"Minister Wen, you don’t have to feel wronged that you have lost. I ask you this, if your wife wasn’t in your family, would you be able to be so safe? Don’t you have a daughter? Minister Wen, you can only rely on your wife and daughter to be so peaceful in the outside world, what right do you have to look down on women? "
They were stunned. Yes, the peace in the family was all because of the wife in charge, but they felt it was natural. They even denied the position of the woman.
"Empress taught you a lesson."
He was still indignant in his heart, but what Hu Xiao said was the truth. He had no way to refute it, no way to refute the price her wife had paid him.
Even so, Wen Fuchen still found Hu Xiao unpleasing to the eye, and did not want to stay any longer to humiliate himself, so he took his leave, and the other civil officials all left after seeing this.
"Empress’s words just now were very interesting! This official admires Empress more and more. "
Seeing that the rest had left, Yin Fufeng anxiously said. The words that came out of his mouth caused the anxious and quiet atmosphere to loosen a bit.
"Haha, Master Yin is too kind, I am just saying the truth, the most important thing is for His Majesty to honor me."
Hu Xiao was still smiling merrily as usual, as if she hadn’t lost control of herself with those words just now, and hadn’t felt despair for an instant.
"It’s all the empress’s own credit, I’m just listening."
The contribution they made made them feel somewhat helpless, but they felt that this was normal.
