Chapter 310 Emperor Xuanwu is seeking death?
The look in Xiyue King's eyes seemed to be able to kill people. He cursed in his heart, "This King of Dongsheng is really abominable. He actually used my money to entertain everyone in such a lavish way! And he deliberately made such a gesture for me to see. It really pissed me off!"
However, when his eyes fell on the little princess in Emperor Xuanwu's arms, he finally swallowed his anger.
The little princess is so delicate and adorable, just like a porcelain doll.
Although she is still young, she exudes a majesty and momentum that cannot be ignored, giving people an aura that only a king can have!
The King of Nanyue knew very well that the little princess in front of him was no ordinary person and definitely not the kind who could be easily provoked.
Although he was filled with dissatisfaction in his heart, he was faced with such a cute and strong little princess.
He could only force a smile helplessly and said politely: "No objection, very good. Thank you again, Lord Dongsheng, for your hospitality!"
Then he turned and left in a hurry, as if staying for a moment longer would make him unable to suppress his inner anger and dissatisfaction.
The world is going downhill. The King of Xiyue had no idea what was waiting for him at the banquet that evening.
He recalled countless times what he and his envoys had done to Emperor Xuanwu, and could not help but shudder.
I have made many sarcastic remarks and done many difficult things in the past.
Moreover, in the six-nation talks, Dongsheng Kingdom usually sits at the back.
If you put yourself in his shoes and think about these things, if it were him, you would have been so angry that you would have jumped up and down!
If I had known that I would have to ask them for help one day, I should have been nicer to them in the early years.
Ugh!
In the imperial study, Emperor Xuanwu looked at Luo'er and wanted to break the food into pieces for her to eat, for fear that the little darling would choke.
"grandfather……"
Luo'er raised her eyes and met his doting gaze.
"Ugh!"
A soft sigh came from Emperor Xuanwu's mouth. His voice was unusually gentle, as if it carried a kind of magic.
This gentleness is in stark contrast to his usual image, which makes people feel surprised and curious.
Just imagine, the usually extremely serious and stern Emperor Xuanwu now made such a soft voice, even with a hint of a clip sound.
Such a change is so amazing that it is unimaginable.
When Luo'er heard this sigh, her body trembled involuntarily.
She widened her eyes and looked at Emperor Xuanwu in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.
This man's voice was so gentle that it gave her a strange feeling.
[Ahem, I'm choking. He's so gentle. If I ask him to amend the divorce system and ban slave trade, I wonder if he can still be so gentle to me.]
Luo'er pointed at her finger and looked at Emperor Xuanwu from time to time, feeling conflicted inside.
[He is so gentle to me, I feel embarrassed to mention it. Oh, so depressed!]
When Emperor Xuanwu heard the inner voice, his fingertips trembled.
[He is a grown man, he certainly doesn’t understand the suffering of the people. He certainly doesn’t understand how hard it is for women.]
[Alas, I have to put in so much effort to do this. However, these women are really too pitiful. If I don’t deal with it, I will feel bad.]
[Alas, even if Grandpa agrees, those ministers will definitely not agree. What a headache, this will definitely be another tough battle.]
[Hmph, I'm willing to fight even the toughest battles. Hmph!]
Emperor Xuanwu didn't say anything, his brain was spinning.
Luo'er was thinking to herself, her face flushed with anger.
"Grandpa...I want..."
Luo Er blurted out everything in one breath, "I know you might object, but it doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of opposition. In this world, everyone is equal, don't you understand?"
"It doesn't mean that the world belongs to men. The ministers in the court also belong to women. This is not acceptable."
"You don't know how pitiful those women are. Why can't women go to school, show their faces in public, or go out to work?"
"Why are they only fit to stay at home and take care of their husbands and children?"
Luo'er said this, venting all the discomfort in her heart.
It seems that when the Creator created these creatures, he did not intend for them to be bullied!
"I think what Luo'er said is right."
The queen came in with food, her eyes full of gentleness, "Women should not be appendages of men."
"When we first got married, I wanted to walk side by side with my husband, but when I went back, I was framed by my mother-in-law and even punished by being grounded for a month."
"Back then, I was too tired once. I didn't get up to help my husband wash and groom, so my mother-in-law asked me to help her. There are still marks of the whip on my back."
"My husband, women hold up half the sky. I cook for you and raise your children. Why do I have to be abused by my mother-in-law every day?"
The queen thought about the past, and she didn't know when it started. Maybe she was influenced by Luo'er.
She said everything she wanted to say, and seemed to feel that this life was worth it.
"My dear, I agree with what Luo'er said. If women in our country continue to have no status like this, I'm afraid this society will be turned upside down."
The queen placed the soup in front of her. She was really tired of facing those rules and regulations that were only aimed at women!
[Hehe... My helper is quite capable. Grandpa, you've seen this!]
Luo Er looked at Emperor Xuanwu with a smile, "Grandpa, how is it?"
As long as she can convince the person she cares about the most, then everyone else is bullshit.
Grandpa and grandma should support her, right?
"What you said is true, but this is a deeply rooted idea. How can I change it? It's too difficult..."
Emperor Xuanwu sighed slightly, the national crisis had just been resolved.
He understood what Luo'er said. It was not easy to overthrow these systems.
"They are used to the sacrifices of women in the family. If they were to change, I'm afraid the whole court would make a fuss. Even all the men in the world would resist."
"Nowadays, most women's thinking has actually been dumbed down. It's really not easy to change."
Emperor Xuanwu smiled helplessly, "Grandpa knows your starting point is good, but..."
"It's okay, I'll take care of the rest, you just have to agree."
Luo'er jumped out of his arms and turned away.
Emperor Xuanwu didn't know whether to say she was naive or too confident.
Dinner
The ministers were all in disbelief. It seemed that in their eyes, the state banquet had never been so sumptuous.
The performance was first-rate and brilliant. It was truly an eye-opener.
So, the ministers discussed privately, "Alas, after all, he is the king of Xiyue Kingdom. After coming here, our Majesty's attitude is indeed different."
"The King of Xiyue is so proud of himself that his Majesty, who has been stingy for thousands of years, is willing to hold such a grand banquet."
"That's right. Alas, it's because our Dongsheng Kingdom is not strong enough now. There is no other way. Today, we have to be more humble when dealing with the King of Xiyue."
In their hearts, the ministers seemed to be afraid to look directly at each other, fearing that the other party would be unhappy and make things difficult for them.
By then, Emperor Xuanwu will be under the control of others and may have to use them as a scapegoat.
After all, who would dare to mess with someone that the King of Xiyue wants to deal with!
"Lord Xiyue, please pour me a glass of wine. How about that?" Emperor Xuanwu said to Lord Xiyue with a faint smile on his face.
At this moment, Emperor Xuanwu knew very well in his heart that he had vaguely caught something from the lips and eyes of these people that he did not want to see.
How is this possible?
Just kidding!
Today, he will let everyone know clearly how humble the current King of Xiyue is!
However, when these words came out of Emperor Xuanwu's mouth, the whole scene instantly fell into dead silence.
Everyone present had expressions of astonishment on their faces, some even became stiff all over, with cold sweat dripping down their foreheads.
What's worse, I felt my legs become numb, as if I had lost consciousness.
They thought to themselves: Is it true that our country is going to be destroyed today?
After all, the country has just started to improve, but now the king is overestimating his own abilities. Isn't this courting death?
