Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

"But…"

What Xie Junyi said made sense, but after all, the child was not her biological child, and the queen always felt uncomfortable.

"Mother, don't be in a hurry. Spend some time with Xuan'er before making a decision."

People can only develop feelings when they get along with each other, so he did not force the queen to accept Xie Ruixuan immediately.

The queen nodded helplessly, "Okay."

"Yier, is this the case because of Meng Xiyue?"

She felt heartbroken when she thought about how her son almost lost his life twice for Meng Xiyue.

"She has gone to Nanrong to marry, just forget about her."

Now Xie Junyi is even going to give up his position as crown prince for her.

She understood that he did all this probably because Meng Xiyue didn't want to be a concubine.

Xie Junyi smiled bitterly, "Mother, please forgive my selfishness. I want to live for myself in the future."

Forget her, unless he is no longer in this world.

He wanted to take off all the shackles and identities on his body and go find her again.

Xie Junyi is no longer worthy of appearing in front of her.

"Yier."

The queen wanted to say something, but she knew that no matter what she said now, Xie Junyi would not listen.

"Don't worry, mother. I will do whatever you want."

He will arrange everything before he leaves.

After taking another look at his mother, he turned and left the palace.

He had the choice to leave, but his mother was trapped in this palace forever.

He could abandon everything, but his queen mother could not, and as her son, he would not abandon her.

"Brother Prince Qi."

Just as he was leaving the Queen's Palace, Xie Ruixuan called him from behind.

"Xuan'er, you will live here from now on. You must listen to your mother, understand?"

Xie Junyi squatted down in front of him and warned him, "The Queen Mother is just a little strict. If she is mean to you, don't be angry with her. Coax her more. After a while, she will accept you."

"Okay, I'll take note of it." Xie Ruixuan nodded heavily.

"You must remember what my brother said to you. If you encounter something you don't understand, go and ask mother for advice. In this palace, don't trust anyone 100% except yourself. Do you understand?"

"it is good."

Xie Ruixuan's eyes were red, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Will Brother Qi Wang come back?"

"I don't know either." Prince Qi shook his head. He was also full of confusion about the future.

"I'm waiting for Brother Qi Wang and Sister Yue."

Xie Ruixuan believed that they would come back one day, and at that time, he would fulfill Xie Junyi's instructions.

"Okay, everything here is up to you."

He also hoped that one day he could bring her back to this place again. By then, everything would probably be different.

Before leaving, Xie Junyi went to the Song family first. It was said that he had a secret conversation with the head of the Song family all night.

From time to time, the roar of the head of the Song family and the sound of things being thrown could be heard from the study.

But in the end, everything returned to peace.

Finally, Xie Junyi visited the four major families again, and it is unknown what they talked about.

After leaving the last house, he left the capital alone and never appeared again.

After the queen found out, she cried all night. Although she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't accept it when she learned that he had really left.

She thought that if Meng Xiyue had been allowed to be the queen at that time, perhaps everything would not be like this now.

She wouldn't lose her son.

How could she have imagined that a woman could torture her son into this state, and finally give up everything for her.

However, the emperor changed his opinion of his son.

I always thought that Xie Junyi was not like him, but now it seems that he inherited his infatuation.

"Father, what do you think of my answer?"

Xie Ruixuan took out the article he had written and handed it to the emperor. The emperor had just asked him a question to test his knowledge and asked him to try it out.

This question was asked during the imperial examination for scholars, and it was a bit difficult for Xie Ruixuan, who was only a student.

The emperor just wanted to test his knowledge, but he didn't expect that he not only could answer the question, but also answered it so well.

"Your ideas and thoughts are very unique. Who did you learn them from?"

The more the emperor read it, the more surprised he was. This article was not flashy at all, but rather very practical.

He was amazed that a child of his age could think so deeply.

"I learned this from Mr. Mei. He said that the ultimate goal of learning to read and write is to become an official. However, the most important thing for an official is to solve problems for the people. Everything should be considered from the perspective of the people."

“The people are the masters of this world. If the people live in misery, then this country will not last long.”

This may sound outrageous at first, but if you think about it carefully, it is reality.

If there were no people, there would be no emperor. Isn't the reason he became the emperor to let the people live and work in peace and contentment?

"This Mr. Mei is a man of great talent. I would like to meet him."

It's a pity to bury such a talent.

"Father, you won't be able to see Mr. Mei anymore."

Xie Junyi lowered his head dejectedly, "She is no longer here."

"No more? What do you mean?"

Xie Junyi told everything that happened to Mei Ran.

The emperor then realized that this Mr. Mei was the man who was rumored to have had an affair with Li Zhi.

When he heard about this, he was extremely angry. A great scholar was actually seduced by women. In a fit of rage, he locked Li Zhi up.

Later, when he heard that the woman had committed suicide, he ordered people to release Li Zhi and did not take it to heart.

"You mean, all of this is just a rumor spread by someone, and there is nothing wrong between Mr. Mei and Li Zhi?"

"Of course she is innocent. Ms. Mei would never do such a dirty thing. She and Mr. Li are close friends and master and disciple. It is definitely not what the outside world has rumored."

At this point, Xie Ruixuan's face was full of anger, "Although Ms. Mei is a woman, she is a very talented person, and she is more knowledgeable than any other teacher I have met."

"But because of her profound knowledge, those men who claim to be scholars cannot tolerate her. Since they cannot compare with her in knowledge, they start to throw dirty water on her."

"If it's true, then Mei Ran has been wronged." The emperor frowned slightly.

"But she is a woman, and she shouldn't be in the public eye opening a school."

What's more, Mei Ran was a divorced woman.

"Why not? Her talent and knowledge are beyond the reach of many men. If she could take part in the imperial examination, she would be the top scorer. But just because she is a woman, her talent and knowledge are being buried. This is too unfair."

"The court is not open to women. Women's knowledge is always shallow."

The emperor said coldly, "You think she is talented, but that's because she has never met a good teacher."
