Flowers are in full bloom, butterflies are dancing among the flowers, and warm sunshine is shining in every corner.
In front of Yu Tanqi was a field of gorgeous peonies with graceful blossoms, but her eyes were fixed on the flowers in a daze.
Her mind was a little confused. She thought of Yu Lan for a while, and then of Rong Ze.
Yu Lan's tragic experience made her wary and told her that it was a very risky and high-cost investment for a woman to put all her hopes on a man.
Yu Lan sacrificed her best years of youth for Rong Ze, but all she got was one hundred taels of silver to buy her five years.
In this world, if a woman is still unmarried after the age of 20, she is considered an old maid. If she wants to marry again, her only choice is a widower or an old man who is over 30 and still has no wife or children.
But if she doesn't get married, it will bring shame to the entire family, bring shame to her parents, and make her be criticized by others.
This world is very unfair to women.
But when men are in power, it is almost impossible for women to resist.
It's not so bad now, but in the past, if a woman was not married by the age of 20, she would be forced to marry by the government. She was not allowed to go out on the streets before marriage, and she was not allowed to show her face in public after marriage. She had to take care of the housework at home, be filial to her parents-in-law, and have children.
The world's constraints on women are like a shackle as heavy as a mountain. If you want to break free from this blood-sucking shackle, someone must stand up and let everyone work together to resist.
The appearance of Lan Luozhu is a ray of light seen by the woman in trouble.
She is not the first woman to do something, nor will she be the last.
But she is the most eye-catching one.
It's a pity that such a beautiful and strong woman would die from dystocia and hemorrhage.
The medical technology in this world is too backward, and you can die if you are not careful.
Yu Tanqi felt that she would never be able to have children in this life because she was afraid of death.
She suddenly thought of Jiang Shi again.
Jiang Shi was the only son of Marquis Wu'an, so he had to marry and have children.
She remembered that the original novel did not write who the hero married in the end, but only wrote that he helped the eldest prince successfully ascend the throne and was granted the title of Duke. At the same time, he held the positions of prime minister and general, the heads of all civil and military officials, and had great power in the court.
The male protagonist is very career-oriented. He only thinks about the people and the country. He does everything himself and often goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy. In the end, he forced the Tianqi Kingdom to surrender, and the two countries formally signed a treaty of peaceful coexistence.
Such a person who is pure-hearted and only cares about national affairs will definitely not have any romantic feelings.
Yu Tanqi's eyes were blank.
It was Jiang Shi's fault for being too gentle, which made her fantasize and think that it would be nice to marry him and become his fiancée. There was no way he could fall in love with her.
He is just a very responsible person and will treat his fiancée with respect no matter who she is.
Yu Tanqi lowered his eyes slightly, looking a little lonely.
She unconsciously held her heart and sighed.
The girl's heart is broken.
"Tan Qi." The young man's gentle and pleasant voice suddenly sounded.
She looked up in surprise. In the swaying sea of flowers, the young man in white clothes was as tall as jade, with gentle eyes and eyebrows, and was so independent that the color of the sea of flowers, which were competing for glory, was dimmed a little.
He asked gently, "What are you thinking about? Why do you look a little sad?"
Yu Tanqi blinked and said softly, "I feel sorry for Miss Yu Lan. She met such a bad man."
Jiang Shi walked over to her and said gently, "I've had someone investigate Rong Ze. The Prime Minister will soon know his true colors and will definitely not marry his daughter to him again. His career will also be damaged, and he will have to atone for what he has done."
Yu Tanqi curled up the corners of his lips and revealed a relieved smile: "That's great, Zi'an, thank you."
"Tan Qi, you don't have to be polite with me." He stretched out his right hand, and on his fair palm was a pair of lustrous, translucent white jade figurines. "After taking you back home, I began carving this pair of jade figurines myself. I want to give them to you as a token of our love."
Yu Tanqi stared blankly at the delicate and petite beauty in his palm.
If she wasn't overthinking it, this would mean a lot to the beauty, equivalent to a "family heirloom".
The token of love that Jiang Chu gave to Lan Luozhu was a pair of jade figurines that he had carved himself, implying that they were a match made in heaven.
She didn't expect that Jiang Shi would personally carve a pair of jade figures for her.
Jiang Shi's gentle voice rang in his ears: "You and I are engaged, but I haven't personally given you the token of love yet. It should still be in time to make up for it now."
Yu Tanqi's fingers trembled slightly, and he was a little afraid to reach out.
Jiang Shi asked, "Tan Qi, don't you like it?"
The boy's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he felt a little nervous.
She shook her head quickly: "No, I like it very much."
He pursed his lips and gave a gentle smile: "As long as you like it."
He handed the beauty in his palm to her.
She bit her lip nervously, and her originally light-colored lips turned a bright red. After hesitating for a moment, she reached out to take it.
His eyes fell on her petal-soft lips.
After more than a month of care, her health finally showed obvious improvement. Her originally pale lips became more rosy, and her little face became rosy and tender, which was very beautiful.
Jiang Shi gently smelled the fresh, sweet and soft fragrance of the girl, and couldn't help but curl his lips. He felt that all the flowers in the garden were not as beautiful as her.
Yu Tanqi held the beautiful woman carefully, her heart pounding. She didn't dare to look at him and whispered, "I haven't prepared a token of love for you yet. Please wait for me for a while."
He curved his eyes and said softly, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
She pursed her lips slightly and smiled shyly and sweetly.
Yu Tanqi was originally feeling a little annoyed because the exquisite and beautiful beauty in his palm floated away with the wind.
She looked at the jade figurine that looked like her and Jiang Shi, and thought to herself that he was really amazing and could even carve jade figurines.
So what token of love should she give him?
After Yu Tanqi returned to Luqi Courtyard with the jade figure in his arms, he began to ponder.
As Linlang helped put the jade figurines away, she couldn't help but sigh, "This pair of jade figurines is so lifelike. The prince really cares about the young lady."
Tao Hua echoed, "Yes, and the prince is a chaste man. Not only does he not have any concubines, he doesn't even have a young maid in his house. It's really rare."
Yu Tanqi said, "What do you think I should give to the prince as a token of love?"
Tao Hua thought for a moment and said, "The token of love that the prince gave you was made by his own hands. So naturally, you should also make something for him. It should be something that can be preserved for a long time, so that you can take it out and look at it even when you are old."
Yu Tanqi nodded: "Taohua is right, then what should I do?"
Linlang and Taohua were silent and began to rack their brains.
If it were any other young lady, the personal maid would definitely suggest giving her something like underwear, but Yu Tanqi doesn't know needlework, so they couldn't make such a suggestion.
So this matter is a bit difficult.
