Future World: Love Through Time and Space

From then on, Xiya would vaguely feel that Emperor Qiantong was a relative of hers, rather than the aloof emperor. Sometimes he is calm and gentle as jade, sometimes he is unrestrained, affectionate and gentle, and sometimes he is a little naughty, like a child; he laughs at others and gets angry at others. Even though he is a generation of holy masters, he still has sincere feelings. No wonder this beautiful lady in the harem Three thousand, looking forward to his favor day and night.

In this temporary tranquility and peace, the autumn of Qingfo has gone far away, and the long winter has arrived as promised——

The flowers and trees in the Epiphyllum Terrace have withered, leaving only the plum tree in the northwest corner standing proudly!

Only once, very late, Siya had taken off her makeup, put on moon-white gauze pajamas embroidered with crabapple flowers, let her hair down, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a poem——

The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, seeing Chang'an flowers in one day.

I was stunned for a moment, and then the tears burst out...

With just these few words, Siya seemed to see Yabo walking over with a high-spirited smile.

I thought that the wound in my heart had slowly healed; but it turned out that just a few simple words could break all her pretense.

It was at this moment that the Emperor stepped into the Epiphyllum Terrace in the moonlight, swaying his folding fan, and wearing a plain brocade robe in the color of blue water and sky. He raised his eyebrows in front of the window and said with a smile, "What are you crying for?"

Siya was only slightly confused about his appearance, but Aunt Shu Yan and Ling Xiang behind her, as well as other palace guards and eunuchs in the Epiphyllum Terrace, were all extremely surprised. They hurriedly came out to greet him and knelt to say hello. The emperor just waved his hand casually and walked into the study from the corridor.

Xia hurriedly wiped away her tears and knelt to say hello. The emperor shook his folding fan to stop her from saluting. Then he sat down gracefully, straightened the hem of his robe, and asked with a faint smile, "What did you remember? You are still sad so late." Does spring feel like autumn?"

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Qian Ya asked evasively, "Why are you coming here so late?"

"I should have come here a long time ago, but there were so many things to do that I got stuck." He waved his fan and smiled like a bright moon. He suddenly took Qiya's hand and asked teasingly, "If I hadn't come, would you have missed me?" ?"

Qia suddenly saw that his expression was ambiguous and not as calm as usual, so she hurriedly wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held on tightly, stood up slowly, walked to her, and raised her hand with two fingers. jaw. She was forced to raise her head and look at him, only to see a layer of misty emotion in his eyes, which made her afraid to look directly, so she had to turn her head slightly.

The emperor sighed vaguely, his voice as soft as the wind under the moon, "Xiya, do you still remember the question you asked me that day?"

"Which one?" Qia really didn't remember.

"'Your Majesty, have you ever had a dream? In the dream, you and a woman are in love with each other. You have the same ideals and the same pursuit. You hold her, she supports you, and you share the joys and sorrows of life and death?'" The emperor said as he spoke. He gently lifted Qian Ya's chin with his fingers and said leisurely, "In this huge Forbidden City, there are so many women in the three palaces and six courtyards. They represent the forces of all parties, calculate their status, honor and favor, and think about their mother clan. His safety, honor and disgrace. But that’s not what I thought!”

Xia then turned to look at him again. His eyes were deep and boundless, filled with worries, which were the worries of a generation of monarchs...

How could I be so worried about the emperor's defeat?

Xiya seemed to understand something, and suddenly Ying Yi's face broke into her mind. She took a step back without leaving a trace, escaped from the emperor's control, thought for a while and said, "Most of the women in Qingfo have no education. It is indeed a bit difficult to understand the major events of the military state. However, in recent years, hasn’t the Qing Dynasty also sent female students to Raqqa? Your Majesty, you can let all girls receive education. In fact, girls have very strong learning and working abilities. , when they become stronger, they will also help Qingfo!"

"In the eyes of outsiders, I am the king of a country, capable of calling the wind and rain, and omnipotent. But sometimes..." The emperor lowered his head, shook his head in embarrassment and sighed, "This tradition of men being superior to women, women being the guardians of the house, and caring for their husbands and raising their children has been around for thousands of years. It’s been ten thousand years, and it’s hard for me to change!”

Siya nodded and sighed perfunctorily.

"But..." The emperor raised his eyebrows again, "If any woman sets an example and makes women all over the world admire her, and then work hard for it, the day will come when men and women are equal."

Xiya was surprised to hear the words "equality between men and women" from Emperor Qiantong's mouth, and her eyes widened.

"Actually, I deeply understand that if the Qing Dynasty wants to develop, these feudal dross must be abolished sooner or later." The emperor no longer used "I", but said "I", "I am willing to work hard for it, and I hope someone will accompany me." Stay with me, together..."

Having said this, the emperor patted Xia on the shoulder.

Xia tilted her head and thought carefully, "If we talk about ability and knowledge, why doesn't the emperor recruit Ying Yi into the palace?"
