Chapter 31: Car accident on the road

Butler Zhao hurried to Chunfengju, clasped his fists to Yun Yi who was standing at the door, and asked anxiously, "Is the prince still asleep?"

Yun Yi lowered his voice, "Not awake yet! What's the matter, Butler Zhao?"

Butler Zhao wiped the sweat from his hurried journey, "The princess had three carriages prepared at dawn, and also cleared out all the bamboo baskets in the kitchen. She is about to leave the house!"

Yun Yi, however, had a calm expression. Without disturbing the prince, he gave an order behind him, "Mo Wen and Mo Yan, you two follow and protect the princess."

Mo Wen and Mo Yan appeared, and Mo Wen asked with a look of grievance, "Yuntou'er, why are we the two going to protect the princess again? Can't there be shifts among so many brothers?"

Yun Yi's face darkened, "Stop talking nonsense! If it weren't for your good kung fu, would you have the good job of protecting the princess?"

Mo Wen took the order with a tearful face and left with Mo Yan.

Luo Li commanded the three coachmen to remove the emblem of the palace from the carriage, and then got on the carriage.

Yuli and Yingchun followed again, and Honggu sat on the outside of the carriage, heading straight to the south of the city. When

they arrived at the city gate, Lady Lanhua with a bamboo basket on her back and Yang Yanqi riding a horse were already waiting there.

Riding on a white horse, Yang Yanqi was tall and fit, with willow-shaped eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes on an oval face. His skin was not as white and tender as other women's, but it was smooth, tight and healthy.

He looked heroic and pleasing to the eye.

Seeing Luo Li opening the window curtain in the carriage and waving to them, Yang Yanqi jumped off the horse and got into the carriage.

Lady Lanhua also took off the backpack behind her and got on the carriage. Hong

Gu rode on Yang Yanqi's horse and threw the backpack into the car behind.

Luo Li hugged Yang Yanqi and sat down next to him.

"My dear, did you dream of me last night?"

Yang Yanqi replied with a cheerful smile, "Yes! I dream of Mr. Luo every day, every night."

Yu Li was not surprised by her young lady's frivolous behavior and Miss Yang's generosity.

Yingchun and Lady Lanhua blushed with shame, and dared not look directly at him, wishing they could throw their ears off the carriage.

Luo Li smiled secretly in her heart, "This Yang Yanqi is really an extremely interesting and wonderful person."

When the two first met, Luo Li was also a handsome young man in men's clothes. He couldn't bear to see a woman being bullied by two men, so he asked Hong Gu to help a little and play the role of a hero saving a beauty.

Little did she know that Miss Yang had a secret crush on Mr. Luo. Luo Li also had a bad taste in her mouth and teased her twice with a romantic look. It was not until she saw that Miss Yang was about to fall deeply in love and couldn't extricate herself that she revealed her identity as a woman because she was afraid of hurting her.

Little did she know that Miss Yang was a person of open-mindedness and after secretly hurting and resenting Luo Li for a few days, she actually took the initiative to make friends with her.

Luo Li also liked Yang Yanqi's straightforward temperament and her frankness and boldness that was not inferior to men. So, the two became close friends.

Although the Song Dynasty inherited the open atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, in this era, women were a vulnerable group that was imprisoned and oppressed by the monarchy and patriarchy. Most of the ladies from wealthy families never leave their houses, and live in secluded rooms in embroidery buildings. They

learn the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and polite manners, and smile without showing teeth.

Women like Miss Yang, who only love martial arts and have a carefree and heroic temperament, are looked down upon. Therefore, they are also a rare "alternative".

In the late Song Dynasty, when the Neo-Confucianism founded by Zhu Xi and the Cheng brothers was highly praised, the so-called "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" and "Chastity Archway" oppressed and destroyed women in an unspeakable way.

The first time Luo Li encountered Yang Yanqi fighting with someone, it was because Yang Yanqi's natural feet were ridiculed and despised, which made this hot-tempered girl fight with the tall bear.

Although Zhu Xi, the founder of Neo-Confucianism, was not born in this era, the custom of foot binding was also popular among the nobles in the palace and the daughters of the rich and powerful.

Three-inch golden lotus, four-inch silver lotus, and more than four inches iron lotus. Women competed to have small feet as beautiful, and romantic and talented men were happy to compose poems to praise the three-inch golden lotus.

Women who did not bind their feet were despised and ridiculed by the rich and noble women, especially Yang Yanqi, who was tall and had large natural feet, and was used as a target for jokes.

Thinking of this, Luo Li showed her big feet, which were about size 40, and said, "Come on! Yanqi, let's compare whose feet are bigger?"

Yang Yanqi laughed and showed her big feet, and compared them side by side with Luo Li's.

"My big feet are still slightly better." Yang Yanqi said mischievously.

Luo Li looked at the big feet, which were one size bigger than hers, and said unconvincedly, "I am one year younger than you and have not yet matured. These feet are still growing. They will definitely be bigger than yours in a year!"

Yang Yanqi laughed loudly.

Yuli and Yingchun in the carriage covered their mouths with laughter. Lady Lanhua smiled secretly, revealing half of her big feet hidden under her skirt, as if they were no longer a sign of ugliness in other people's eyes.

Luo Li saw Lady Lanhua sitting opposite her secretly revealing half of her natural feet, and she was moved: I have to bring some dignity and confidence to the big-footed women in this world!

Luo Li raised his hand with great momentum, "Yanqi, I have made up my mind! I want to form a big-footed women's army. I will be the leader, and you can be the deputy leader, okay?"

Yang Yanqi laughed so hard that his shoulders shook, and tears came out, "That's great! Master Luo, Yanqi will find you a deputy leader, and we will be your right-hand men!"

Yingchun and Yuli couldn't help laughing any longer, and they laughed so hard that they fell backwards, tears welled up in their eyes, and Yuli covered her stomach and cried that her stomach hurt!

Lady Lanhua also laughed so hard that her body shook, and tears came out.

She liked this Master Luo who was dressed as a man even more. I secretly admire this young lady from an unknown family. She is extremely beautiful, but her temperament is so unrestrained, bold and uninhibited!

She is really a rare and extraordinary woman in the world!

Several people laughed and chatted along the way, and there was constant laughter in the carriage. Passers-by looked at her curiously, wondering which brothel prostitute was in the carriage that passed by, so coquettish and dissolute?

Mo Wen used his Qinggong to follow invisibly, and his mouth twitched as he complained to Commander Yun in his heart that he had given this good job to him and Mo Yan.

The road outside the city was wide and not many people were walking.

Suddenly, there was a sound of galloping horses behind the carriage. The driver quickly pulled the carriage to the side of the road to make way for the accident.

Luo Li curiously opened the window curtain and looked out, only to see a dozen of majestic war horses galloping past, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Puff!..." Luo Li, who was not prepared to eat a mouthful of dust, spat out twice and angrily cursed, "I don't know which family this turtle descendant is, galloping on the road like this, is he rushing to eat shit or to reincarnate?"

Yang Yanqi glanced out the window and recognized the person inside.

: "Others didn't see it clearly, there was Gao Gouxiong, that bastard."

Luo Li laughed, "You have set your sights on him."

: "I will beat him up every time I see him in my life!" Yang Yanqi was domineering. He said worriedly, "What if these dandies hit pedestrians who can't dodge in time?" : "What

else can we do? The good ones are sent away with some money, and the bad ones are ridden away. These rich dandies, who care about the lives of ordinary people?" Lady Lanhua, who had always been taciturn, spoke angrily.

Yingchun hurriedly took out the kettle and teacup from the secret compartment in the carriage and poured a glass of water for the princess to rinse her mouth.

As soon as Lady Lanhua finished speaking, the carriage was stopped by the driver. "Puh!..."

Luo Li, who had just taken a sip of water, spat it out.

Yang Yanqi opened the curtain, "How can you hurry up?!"

"Miss, there was an accident ahead!" the driver replied.

Yang Yanqi looked ahead and couldn't help but yelled angrily, "You bastards! You really hit a passerby!"

Yang Yanqi stood up and jumped out of the carriage, "I'll go and see if it was Gao Gou Xiong's bastard who caused the accident?"
