"Your Majesty...are you here?"
Fei Wan heard Yun Qing's voice before she even stepped into his room.
The sunlight came through the window lattice and fell on the beauty sitting on the bed.
From the perspective of Fengming Nation's aesthetic, Yunqing was an exceptionally beautiful woman. Her beauty was tinged with a touch of fragility, but her features were impeccable, and her personality gentle. A gender-swapped version of her virtuous character, coupled with her family background, made her, in some ways, no different from a lady from a noble family.
This was Fei Wan's first impression of Yun Qing when they met him.
"It's me."
Yun Qing was still weak after falling into the water. He tucked in the quilt, leaned against the head of the bed, and his face looked a little pale.
But the moment he saw Fei Wan, his eyes were instantly filled with tenderness.
Even though Yun Qing was struggling, he still lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed to pay his respects. Fei Wan saw this and quickly held the corner of his quilt.
In order not to make Fei Wan worry, he still managed to smile: "I knew His Majesty would come to see me."
Just like this person,
Until the end, he believed that his Majesty would treat him well.
Little did he know that she was completely using him...
Fei Wan's heart moved slightly, with a sincere meaning:
"How do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell?"
This word seemed to touch upon his bad memories. Yun Qing coughed heavily a few times and lowered his head.
"Your Majesty... Yunqing's reputation is now damaged. It's not worth it for you to come and see me."
He bit his lip, his voice seemed to tremble.
"But I am already very happy that Your Majesty can come and see me now, regardless of the world's opinions. I no longer expect too much."
His eyes seemed to have lost the light they had when they first met, and there was no hope left.
Falling into the water with a strange man before getting married, Yun Qing believed that this meant she would lose her reputation and be looked down upon. There was no other solution except to marry Feng Qili.
He blamed himself and attributed all the faults to himself.
If he didn't stop it, Fei Wan felt that... Yun Qing would do something stupid.
Why does this inequality persist even if the genders are reversed?
In a world where men are superior to women, whatever women do is wrong, and once something goes wrong, everything is blamed on the women.
But here... it's just a matter of changing the gender.
There was another hidden story behind this matter, but when she asked Yunqing, Yunqing refused to tell her the reason. He just took the blame on himself, as if he was worried that telling it would affect Feiwan.
Fei Wan couldn't act hastily, she had other ways to find out the whole story.
"Yunqing."
Fei Wan called his name solemnly.
"Do you know the six arts of a gentleman?"
The Six Arts of a Gentleman, including etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics, were supposed to be mastered by women in Fengming State, but men also learned them, though women were more advanced in their studies.
But more people believe that men learn these things just to please women, to increase their own value, and to find a good wife in the future.
Since Yunqing is the son of an official, he should have studied since childhood.
He didn't understand Fei Wan's intention and nodded hesitantly.
Fei Wan continued:
"That must be because he has learned it very well. I have heard that the Yun family's young master is very talented and can ride and shoot with the demeanor of a woman."
Yun Qing's eyes dimmed for a moment.
"That was in the past."
At first, he followed his mother's teachings and only learned superficially, but ultimately failed to continue learning.
At that time, he also envied women.
But since when did I start to obey the arrangements of fate?
