Chapter 20 The Stand-in Heroine's Counterattack 20
Even many years later, Cheng Qingning still recalled that afternoon.
The girl, who was younger than her, asked her word by word with open and sincere eyes.
She suddenly summoned up the greatest courage in her life and looked straight into the girl's pure eyes, "Yes, I want to go to the battlefield! My father said that women should not show their faces in public, and should not dream of killing enemies on the battlefield like men. I have been practicing martial arts with my brothers since I was a child, and I am better than any of them!
Just because I am a woman, no matter how hard I try, I can only be a dodder in the end! I don’t want to, I don’t want to accept this result! "
The blood in her body suddenly began to boil, and her eyes were surprisingly bright.
She had never, never revealed such thoughts in front of anyone. Because she knew that this world was not tolerant of women. If she wanted to live well, she had to be like other women, and it would be best if she was submissive and kind, and put her husband first, and only care about the backyard!
But why?
Why can men act as unbridled as they please, laugh, scold, and get angry, but women are required to be restrained and docile?
Cheng Qingning looked at A Yan, "A Yan, you know what I'm thinking, right?"
Ah Yan smiled softly, "Yes, I know. So Sister Cheng, are you ready to accept... your new destiny?"
Cheng Qingning was stunned.
Ayan's voice was gentle, but to her ears it sounded like the sound of bells and drums, shaking her heart and making it begin to beat wildly.
She said: "Good sister, are you ready to tear apart this so-called morality with me and fight for fairness for women all over the world?"
Cheng Qing stared at A Yan's smiling face, which was still young and innocent, but her eyes were filled with determination.
She suddenly realized that she had underestimated the girl in front of her!
At first she thought A Yan came to her to get rid of the Sixth Prince.
Later she thought that A Yan was going to become the national teacher and step on the heads of all those who bullied her!
Now I finally understand that Ayan is representing the women in the world who are equally unwilling to give in, and the common people who are fighting against fate!
For the first time, Cheng Qingning lowered his proud head in front of a person of the same age, "I am willing to serve the Imperial Master!"
Since the world is unfair, she will tear apart this so-called justice and bet on a bright future! !
Ah Yan smiled gently: "Go back, Sister Cheng. We will do it!"
Cheng Qingning walked out of the gate of the house with a heart full of enthusiasm.
He ran into the Sixth Prince Qin Yu who came to visit with gifts.
He was dressed in brocade, with a look of urgency on his face, and hurried to the door of the house.
He straightened his clothes, knocked on the door and said, "Yan'er, this prince is here to see you!"
Just like before, he still treated A Yan as an ignorant girl who would become dizzy if she was coaxed with a few words.
Cheng Qingning withdrew his gaze woodenly, with a sneer in his heart: This is what men are like, they always think that women will be trapped by some sentimental love!
Cheng Qingning suddenly wanted to see this noble prince being humiliated, so she simply leaned against a tree and crossed her arms leisurely.
After a while, Green Wall came out and opened the door.
It is still said that the national teacher does not see guests.
Qin Yu said gently, "Miss Green Wall, I am here to apologize to Yan'er. During this period of time, I have figured it out. The person in my heart has always been Yan'er! In order to get my father to agree to my marriage with Yan'er, I have been running around for two whole months! Miss Green Wall, please be accommodating and let me go in to see Yan'er, even if it's just for a glance!"
But Green Wall still shook his head, "The Imperial Master won't see guests, no matter who they are. Sixth Prince, please go back!"
Qin Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he said gently, "Then I will wait outside! When Yan'er is willing to see guests, I will come back!"
Women always have temper tantrums sometimes!
He also knew that he had neglected Yan'er before, but there was a reason for it. He was a prince and he had to consider the future. Yan'er had a low status before, so for their future, he had to be busy with official duties and interact with other girls from noble families.
He has always had Yan'er's shadow in his heart. Even if she is just Qingcheng's substitute, Yan'er should be considerate of him since they come first!
Besides, now he is willing to never mention Qingcheng again for Yan'er. Yan'er should be moved by this deep affection!
Qin Yu calmed down and quickly convinced himself, then waited outside with confidence.
Cheng Qingning shook her head, lacking interest.
She left the alley, and soon the news spread in the palace that the imperial teacher strongly recommended her to fight in the battlefield. However, the emperor had some reservations, and after weighing the two options, he finally decided to let her enter the barracks as a man and start as a soldier.
If we can achieve some success in two years, we will establish a female barracks, and from then on all women in the world can lead troops into battle.
This was a rather risky decision. After receiving the imperial edict, Cheng Qingning packed her bags and left the prosperous capital city despite her family's objections.
A Yan has already taken the most difficult step for her, and it is time for her to rush to this gamble!
Of course, she also knew that in order to make this gamble, Ayan promised to help farmers increase their income by 50% within a year and also made a textile machine.
Until the day Cheng Qingning left, Qin Yu had not seen A Yan.
A Yan moved into the Imperial Master's Mansion. The Emperor's men were guarding outside, so Qin Yu didn't dare to disturb her again.
However, he still found an opportunity and blocked A Yan.
When A Yan was on her way to the Huangzhuang experimental field, Qin Yu stopped her carriage.
Even after becoming the Imperial Master, Ayan had not changed much. His carriage was extremely simple, with only a few more guards escorting him.
Qin Yu put on his most affectionate attitude, "Yan'er, I finally see you!"
He gave up claiming to be so, wanting A Yan to feel his sincerity and compromise.
Ah Yan came out of the carriage and looked at him calmly, "What's wrong?"
Qin Yu's eyes were filled with affection. "Yan'er, you know that I have been unable to sleep or eat for you these days. I just want to see you again."
A Yan feels that the male protagonist is a bit greasy!
"I don't know."
Qin Yujun's face flashed with helplessness, "Yan'er, you are still saying one thing and thinking another like before."
If she really had no interest in him, why would she avoid him again and again? She was clearly moved and was afraid that if she saw him again, she would not be able to control her love!
Qin Yu coughed lightly, "Yan'er, I have decided to ask my father for a marriage. Are you still willing to agree to it? This time, there is no one else, I only want you..."
Ah Yan looked at him coldly, "Am I really the only one here? See you at Taotie Tower tomorrow."
The curtain was lowered and the carriage passed by without stopping.
Qin Yu thought that there was a lot of time to come, so he didn't mind A Yan's particularly cold attitude.
He could only feel helpless in his heart. When Yan'er became the Sixth Prince's consort, he would definitely find a nanny in the palace to teach her the rules, so that she wouldn't have the same attitude towards other powerful people. If that happened, she would offend others and it would be disadvantageous to him!
Qin Yu didn't expect at this time that the appointment at Taotie Tower would completely shatter the romantic thoughts in his heart!
