Chapter 714 The villain is the villain

Feng Boyang stood up from his position, walked directly to Xie Yuan, said warmly, "Let's go", and then went out.

Xie Yuan followed her, turned around and saw the concubines standing up one after another, quietly lowering their heads behind them, not far or near.

On the way to the garden, the queen said to Xie Yuan:

"It takes a lot of effort to grow so many flowers to bloom at the same time and to arrange them into scenery, and it is still worth seeing."

Xie Yuan didn't know what to say, so he just said "hmm".

Feng Boyang turned his face and looked at her, and asked with a smile:

"You didn't want to come, do you?"

Xie Yuan replied very seriously: "No, I am willing to come."

Feng Boyang withdrew his gaze. Unlike the dignity and coldness he had just faced with the concubines, he showed a little playful meaning. Although it was not very obvious, it also reminded people that she was only twenty years old this year:

"I don't believe it. You have been dancing with swords and guns all day long, and you have seen the scenery outside, the sun sets and the rivers, and the eunuchs in the palace. You must find it boring."

There were paved gravel roads under their feet, and the gravels were tight and strong, with jade-colored luster. Even the long skirt on the queen's body would not be stained with soil.

Looking around, the pavilions and towers were arranged in an orderly manner, and they were cleaned everywhere, with green rockery trees, small bridges and flowing water, and the faint fragrance of flowers, and there was a scent of peace and harmony everywhere.

Xie Yuan habitually pressed the sword around his waist and said with a sigh:

"This is not the case, everyone has their own good. Who doesn't like such a scenery? Besides, in addition to the setting sun and the river, the mountains and the vast land, there are more desolate and withered houses, and there are also corpses everywhere in the war..."

When the queen heard this, she withdrew her gaze, her slender eyes blinked, as if she was trapped in memories. After a while, she said:

"Yes. At that time, Yan State was broken, and we were led by ropes and walked on the road. The road was so long. I only remember my worn-out feet, as well as the calves and heels of an older sister in front of me. The sky seemed to be very dark... Now, the reason why I felt it was dark may be because the scenery was too desperate..."

The atmosphere couldn't help but be a little heavy...

Suddenly, an admiration came from behind:

"Wow...you see, the layout is really good."

Xie Yuan turned around and looked over, and saw a lively concubine pointing at the flower not far away, her face full of excitement.

She saw that the queen and Xie Yuan turned their heads and quickly put down her hand.

It turned out that before they knew it, they had arrived in the back garden, and the area specially arranged for chrysanthemums were decorated with various colors and chrysanthemums in flower pots, and were arranged in patterns in patches, blending with other scenery in the garden and shining together.

Queen Feng Boyang turned around and stood still, looking at them and said gracefully:

"You guys go and play, don't bother me and General Xie."

When the concubines heard this, they all laughed. The young and beautiful faces were filled with joy, and they were about to leave.

One of the Han concubines hesitated for a moment and asked in a timid voice:

"Empress, can we allow us to pick flowers and wear them?"

The air was quiet, and the concubines looked at the queen and waited for her reaction.

Because the queen had said before that His Majesty would not come today because of the busy state affairs. He asked them not to move around while shopping, so as to prevent the scenery from being damaged and to lose sight when His Majesty came down.

Queen Feng Boyang's face was calm and she couldn't tell the difference between joy and anger. Just when everyone could not withstand the pressure, she slowly spoke, and her tone was rare, as if she was taking care of her younger sisters, saying:

"One person can only pick one, don't waste anything, go."

As soon as these words were spoken, the concubines let out a few pleasant laughs and saluted the queen one after another. They walked away like a group of swallows, holding hands and walking away, and soon integrated into the garden scenery.

Behind the queen and Xie Yuan, there were only two rows of palace maids and eunuchs serving. They waited not far or near, and suddenly became much quieter.

Seeing that the queen looked at their departure backs for a long time and didn't know what she was thinking, Xie Yuan said:

"Empress, why don't you play with them."

The queen woke up from her trance, looked at Xie Yuan and smiled, and said:

"No, didn't Confucius say anything? It's hard to raise villains and women in the world. If you are close, you are not inferior. If you are far away, you are resentful. If you are too close to them, it's not good."

When Xie Yuan heard this, he glanced at her side.

Feng Boyang seemed to see what Xie Yuan was thinking, curled his lips and smiled slightly, then reached out and held her arm intimately. The two of them walked slowly among the flowers while talking.

The queen said casually:

"Don't look at me, yes, you and I are all women like them, so I shouldn't copy that. In fact, Confucius's words make sense, but they shouldn't just take women out and go along with villains, just like there can't be gentlemen among women..."

When Xie Yuan heard that his eyes were shaking, he seemed to feel something and said:

"The gentleman and villain in the book never include women, just like women are just backgrounds. In the world in the book, men are loyal and courageous, live wonderfully and with stories. At best, women are just like flowers in the garden, just a scenery and a lot of hair, which is irrelevant. So when I was a child, I didn't want to be a girl anyway..."

The queen glanced at her and said with a smile:

"Who said no... It was because of a big shot that Confucius talked about the villain and brought a woman with a mouthful. In fact, villain is a villain. Not only are there men and women in the villain, but there are also many villains in this world, and there are not many qualified gentlemen. Therefore, "If you are close, you are not inferior to you, you will be resentful." This sentence applies to almost everyone. This is the case with the concubines in the harem, and the ministers of the previous dynasty, which is the same..."

Xie Yuan listened quietly, nodded and said:

"This makes sense."

Seeing her so straightforward, the smile on her face became bigger, and her hand that was climbing her arm tightened, and said:

"Luckily, you are a gentleman, so I have someone who can speak intimate words. Otherwise, life would be lonely and difficult in this deep palace."

Xie Yuan didn't expect that she would lead her to her body. After a moment of surprise, he smiled and said:

"Thank you for your kindness in the Queen, but I can't afford to be a gentleman. The gentleman mentioned by Confucius is a saint."

She paused and asked:

"Your Majesty has a deep relationship with the Queen, how can you be lonely and unbearable?"

The expression on Queen Feng Boyang's face was a moment of depressedness and sadness, but it soon disappeared. She smiled and said:

"Although Your Majesty and I are husband and wife, more are kings and ministers. How can there be so many intimate words between kings and ministers?"
