Chapter 111 Women's Sorrow
Facing Mu Qingchen's gaze, Qiao Shinian was a little scared.
She raised her head slightly, looked at Mu Qingchen with her big, innocent eyes, and asked, "Are you... angry?"
"Ah."
Qiao Shinian lowered his head, touching his fingers together: "I'm sorry, I don't want to force you to accept this feeling, I just think that the princess is so affectionate, she should love you with her life, because you have never married, and become an old maid in everyone's mouth, criticized by everyone.
For you, I do not hide my love. In your country, women should be reserved and well-educated. Those rumors are enough to crush a woman and kill a person who lives in a set of rules.
But for you, I don’t know whether to say she didn’t care at all or endured all the criticism.”
Qiao Shinian's voice was a little hoarse, she knew the feeling of being unable to be loved.
"Is that what you wanted to say?"
"Not really. I want to help you analyze this problem from another angle. If you are not at all touched by the princess's love for you, it may be that you are looking at the problem from a different angle. I think you may like the more real her after getting along with her." Qiao Shinian was a little nervous and her breathing slowed down.
Mu Qingchen took a deep breath and suppressed his discomfort: "Let's go, we'll go out the back door, and I'll take you home after dinner."
"Oh, okay." Qiao Shinian nodded, pinching his left thumb tightly with his right hand and continued, "But if you don't want to have any contact with her at all, her coercive behavior is harassment. I think she likes you for some reason.
If you look at picture books, they always describe how a person saves his life and then becomes willing to repay it with his own life, or how a person gets help or comfort when he is at his lowest or most frustrated. Such plots are often the beginning of a heart-throb.
I think, although you are very handsome, the power of love at first sight is not that strong. It's a pity, but it's not enough to make people so obsessed when you are treated so coldly.
So, can you think about whether you have this kind of behavior towards Princess Pingan? Maybe this is why Princess Pingan is so obsessed with you. "
Mu Qingchen paused for a moment, and threw the sachet to Mo Yang: “Burn it.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Mo Yang responded.
Qiao Shinian looked at the exquisite sachet and felt a little regretful and sad for Princess Ping'an.
"What? You want it?" Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian with a look of regret and asked.
“No, no, no, no!!!” Qiao Shinian quickly raised his head and waved his hands, refusing repeatedly, “I just think that women represented by Princess Ping’an are very pitiful.”
"Pitiable? I am not pitiful for being entangled?!" Mu Qingchen suddenly said, realizing that his tone might scare this person who was more timid than his heart, he softened his tone, "Every time I attend a banquet, once it involves marriage, everyone will involve her with me. That kind of look is what I hate the most."
"Oh, Your Highness the Wise King, what I want to say is not that she is pitiful for not being able to get the love she wants, but that women of this era are pitiful." Qiao Shinian noticed the change in the way Mu Qingchen spoke to her, and also changed the way she addressed him.
Mu Qingchen's anger dissipated a little. He knew that he had misunderstood what he said. He looked at Qiao Shinian, who looked a little frightened and uneasy.
Qiao Shinian suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I was wrong today, please punish me."
Mu Qingchen clenched his fists. He felt powerless and angry after a while.
He lost his usual gentle demeanor and just looked at Qiao Shinian who was kneeling on the ground: "You said, the woman is pitiful, but why is she pitiful? No matter what you say, I will forgive you. Go ahead, I want to know your theory!"
Qiao Shinian lowered his head and looked at the black stone floor tiles. It was very clean, but some fine dust could be seen on it.
"They are trapped in the harem, trapped in women's virtues and women's scriptures. There are only a few entertainment items, and they have never seen a more exciting world, nor have they known the vastness of the earth and the vastness of the mountains and rivers. They have been daughters, wives, and mothers all their lives, but they have never been themselves. Princess Ping'an is already a rare noble person, but she is also trapped in love, unable to see through it and unable to get out.
She should have seen more and known more than an ordinary woman, but she couldn't let go. If she knew more truths, if she had more entertainment, if she could meet up with a few good friends when she was frustrated and not go home until she was drunk.
If she were unrestrained, she could go to the sky and into the sea... cough cough"
Qiao Shinian urgently interrupted what he had just said. In ancient times, those who could fly into the sky and dive into the sea became gods, but nowadays, flying on airplanes and exploring the ocean world have become common things.
"In short, what I want to say is that everyone is restricted by rules and regulations and has limited knowledge, so at this moment in their lives, all they have is a small house and a small girl's heart.
If they have a broader spiritual world, more freedom, and more respect, then what can trap them is not petty love and family affection that is bought and sold by others. "Qiao Shinian said and kowtowed to Mu Qingchen.
She prostrated herself on the ground, speaking earnestly with a hint of fear and pleading: "Today I am ignorant of the high and low, and I have offended you. What I said just now was just nonsense. I will ask for punishment when I go back, and I will not do such a thing again next time."
As a result, the two of them lost all interest in eating. Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian who was crawling on the ground. He was shocked by her words. They were so presumptuous and wanted to overturn the original rules of the world!
In just a few breaths, his mind was clear. He seemed to be able to see everything she said in her, and he seemed to understand somewhat what made her different.
It turns out that this person came from such a place, no wonder it was like this.
He didn't want to lose the friendship between this person and him. He wanted to keep her and tell her that, just like before, she should just treat him as an ordinary person and not be afraid of him.
He slowly squatted down and pulled Qiao Shinian up from the ground. He looked at Qiao Shinian with a sincere look that he himself had not noticed, with sorrow and grievance in his eyes: "Why are you like this? It's obviously me who is unhappy, but you make me feel that it's all my fault. Even if you treat me insincerely, I can forgive you.
But I'm angry, why can't you just give in to me?"
"Because we only have one life, we don't really have much trust in each other. When I see you angry, I always think of the worst!"
Qiao Shinian felt the depressing atmosphere disappear. She really thought that she might not be able to leave the Prince Xian's Mansion, so she was very scared and panicked. She even decided that if Mu Qingchen really wanted to kill her, she must delay until tomorrow.
In this way, she could go back, and then travel back through time to be directly by Wen Jiu's side, and never leave the palace again from now on.
This method of bug-solving was an idea proposed by Tiantian before she came across this world.
