Chapter 322 Fighting against the Times
Her eyes gradually turned red, and her tone softened, "Shishi, just treat it as your mother begging you, okay? Don't say such things again in the future. We women are born like this, and we can't compare to men."
"As long as a woman marries a good husband and gives birth to a few sons, she can live a good life. Why are you so stubborn?"
Ouyang Shi found it ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!
But she couldn't laugh. Her heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness and sadness. She turned her head and looked through the window. She could see the tall tree trunks in the yard, but the fallen leaves had returned to the dust, leaving only bare branches sticking out over the wall.
She knew that the tree, like her, was trapped in the deep palace.
When she was young, she thought that the outside world was only separated from her by a wall. She climbed up a tree in the middle of the night by moonlight, but she did not expect to see layer upon layer of identical red walls and green tiles, and she could not even see the end at a glance.
Only then did she realize that the palace that trapped her was so vast.
Ouyang Shi looked out the window, her voice a little ethereal, "Mother, women are actually no worse than men."
"Manhe's literary talent is better than her brother's. The master always praises her and feels sorry that she is not a man."
"I don't understand why when a woman does something good, people always say that she is not a man. Men just have a little extra flesh."
"They value men's bodies so much, but in fact they only value that ugly thing."
The virtuous concubine didn't know what to say. Her legs went weak and she fell into the chair. Her eyes were dull and her head was buzzing. Is this something a princess can say?
Ouyang Shi didn't expect her to listen. She just had been holding it in for too long and there was no one around her to talk to. Now that she had said it out loud, she naturally wanted to say it out loud.
"Why do men degrade women to the dust? It's simply because they are worried that we women will surpass them and make them lose face, because they know that women are also smart and even surpass men in some aspects."
"Men are selfish, heartless, have strong self-esteem and are easily angered."
"They keep saying that women are jealous, have a treacherous heart, and are vicious, but they don't know that they are the culprits of all this. When it comes to scheming, who can compare to them?"
"It doesn't take any effort to make women kill each other."
"On the surface, they look down on women being jealous, but in fact, they enjoy it because it can highlight their charm. Men are always like this, either insecure or blindly confident."
Finally, Ouyang Shi summed it up in two words: "Disgusting."
Concubine Xian: “…”
She covered her heart, closed her eyes, and looked in pain.
Ouyang Shi cursed to her heart's content, feeling quite happy. She asked with rare concern, "What's wrong with mother? Are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll send someone to call the imperial physician."
Xian Fei rubbed her forehead and said, "Just shut up."
If Ouyang Shi had been so obedient, Concubine Xian would not have been so angry.
She giggled, "Mother, I heard that the Fairy Queen lives in Youzhu Mountain, and I want to go and see her."
The virtuous concubine raised her head suddenly and shouted sternly: "No!"
"As a princess, you are not allowed to leave the palace without permission, and going to such a far place, what if you encounter danger..."
Ouyang Shi puffed up his cheeks, "Oh."
I didn't ask for your opinion, I just wanted you to be mentally prepared.
This was her first act of resistance.
For a period of time afterwards, Concubine Xian sent people to keep a close eye on Ouyang Shi, fearing that she would slip away if she was not careful.
In the end, Ouyang Shi left the palace smoothly.
This was the first time she left the palace alone. Although she had lived in the capital for more than ten years, it seemed like a strange world to her.
She asked for the direction of Youzhu Mountain along the way and galloped on her horse.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't afraid, but the breath of freedom that came towards her made her forget her identity for a moment.
She was molested by a man on the way. If the man had not been a useless person, Ouyang Shi would probably not have been able to escape so easily.
This episode made her even more disgusted with men.
Later, in order to make it easier to walk and avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Ouyang Shi had to change into men's clothes despite her resistance.
"It would be nice if I knew martial arts."
This is the only thing Ouyang Shi regrets at the moment.
Changing into men's clothes made her feel betrayed and uncomfortable. She took them off after wearing them for only a few days and put on women's cycling clothes with a soft whip around her waist. She tried her best to put on a threatening face and make herself look like someone who is not easy to mess with.
Ouyang Shi was a princess, so her temperament was naturally unique. She was full of nobility, and with a gloomy look, she really didn't meet any blind people afterwards.
After riding for a month, they finally arrived at Youzhu Mountain.
She didn't even have a good rest during this month. She was always on the road. When she arrived at Youzhu Mountain, she was exhausted and looked like a beggar.
Here she also met several imperial brothers, who had just arrived. Unlike Ouyang Shi, they came in a carriage.
So even if I set out half a month earlier than Ouyang Shi, it would still take more time.
Ouyang Shi had neither a good nor a bad impression of them. They had no interaction with each other normally and only occasionally heard some stories about them from his mother.
I heard that they were fighting each other to the death, but after just a few days in Youzhu Mountain they became as close as brothers.
She pouted.
She had no more interactions with these people afterwards. Who would have thought that among so many people coming to get the Summer Cooling Pills today, she would run into them.
When Ouyang Shi was queuing, she was looking at the light screen and didn't even look at the people in front of her. By the time she found out that they were her half-brothers, there were already tens of thousands of people in the queue behind her. It was impossible for her to queue up again.
So he just stood behind Ouyang Rui, not too far away.
Who would have thought that following these three would allow me to meet the emperor, the emperor himself? There were more than a hundred teams in line, and yet I could still win the prize. It really is unlucky to follow a man for eight lifetimes.
Ouyang Shi was thinking about all sorts of things in his mind. Maybe it was because he had completely let himself go in Youzhu Mountain that he forgot to conceal his facial expression. Sometimes he pouted, sometimes he looked disdainful, and he even glanced at the three brothers sideways.
Ouyang Yi and the other two were lowering their heads and being scolded.
Ouyang Shi stood straight with her hands behind her back, a high ponytail and a tight-fitting outfit, looking heroic.
Compared with the three quails, she stood out like a crane among chickens.
Emperor Cangwu frowned: "Xiaowu, why are you dressed like this? You look like a girl..."
Ouyang Shi couldn't stand hearing this kind of talk, so she immediately asked back, "What's wrong with me wearing this?"
Before, she would not have disobeyed Emperor Cangwu so directly. After all, he was her father and the ruler of a country. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she could not express it and had to greet him with a smile.
But she stayed in Youzhu Mountain for more than a month, reporting to the library every day and watching TV series at night. Her mindset had changed, and she no longer had such a strong sense of awe for the emperor.
