As soon as Concubine Yun saw Yelu Sager's clothes, her face turned cold and she scolded him mercilessly: "Aren't you learning the rules? Who allowed you to wear red!" The fiery red dress also hurt Concubine Yun's eyes.
Yelu Sager bowed her head and gave Concubine Yun a Liao Dynasty salute. When she raised her head, she smiled brightly, not embarrassed or angry at Concubine Yun's words. "Sage, I didn't know the Concubine was here. I'm sorry." After a pause, she looked down at her clothes and said helplessly, "I love red the most. It's a pity that I have been in Yanbei for so long and this is the first time I have worn it today."
Yelu Sager looked at Ren Yaoqi and asked seriously, "Do you think I look good in red?"
Ren Yaoqi looked at her carefully for a few times, then smiled and said, "It's pretty, but it's against the rules."
Yelu Sager sat down on a chair and sighed. "You Han people have everything good: good housing, good clothes, good food, and good looks, both men and women. But there's one thing wrong: too many rules. Sometimes I really don't understand. If you could live freely, why do you make up so many rules and embarrass yourself? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
Ren Yaoqi thought about it seriously, then smiled and said, "Princess, there's some truth to what you said. Spring turns to winter, flowers bloom and fall, and plants wither and grow. These things all happen naturally and are absolutely beautiful. But Princess, is that dahlia on your head still the same one from last year?"
Yelu Sage was stunned when he heard this.
Ren Yaoqi sighed and smiled, "So, if people don't make so many rules to embarrass themselves, they will be made difficult by heaven. If your tribe wants to live freely, they need to constantly migrate to ensure that the cattle and sheep have abundant water and grass to thrive. But because we have too many rules, our ancestors have been bound to this land for generations. We have taken root here, and as long as we are there, the roots will be there."
Yelusage was silent for a long time, then said, "You mean, following the rules is for a longer life?"
Ren Yaoqi just smiled and said nothing.
Yelu Sager glanced at Ren Yaoqi and frowned. "That sounds reasonable. I have to admit that you Han people have too many smart people. Look, you convinced me with just two words. I once heard that women here are inferior to men in every way, so women can only be locked up at home to bear children for men. But since I came here, I found that this is not the case. For example, the princess, for example, you, are both surprising women. For example, the Princess of Yanbei, she can manage such a large palace in an orderly manner, no worse than an official who governs a county. But if that's the case, why are you willing to be behind men?"
Ren Yaoqi raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile, "Princess, are you speaking up for us Han women, or are you expressing your own resentment? You are no less capable than your brothers, yet why wasn't it you who ultimately became the King of Liao? I wonder if you are willing to accept this?"
