Returning to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, Li Dequan very discerningly asked the palace maids to finish serving snacks and supper, and then asked everyone to leave. He also left and stood guard by the door.

"Brother Imperial, do you know what cultivating an immortal is?" Taomi said directly without giving in.

"I only learned about cultivating immortals after hearing what An Guiren said to me. I only knew about some immortals before."

That’s right, there was no such thing as cultivating immortals in ancient times in this world. The ancients believed that immortals have existed since the beginning of the world. They have the same lifespan as heaven and earth and can control the fate, life and death of everyone in time. Even if Xuan Ye is

The emperor was no exception. This was the first time he heard of An Gui's "cultivation of immortality".

"Jianning believes that 'cultivating immortals' is just a way for ordinary people to become immortals. People who cultivate immortals are not immortals. They just know some spells compared to ordinary people. Others are no different from ordinary people."

"Then according to Jianning, An Gui is just an ordinary person, he just knows more than ordinary people?" Xuan Ye's eyebrows wrinkled again. He also thought about what Taomi said from the word 'xiu'

This point is just a fantasy in my heart, thinking that gods really appear in life.

Taomi nodded, "Jianning doesn't dare to say that he understands everything, but it is certain that people who come to cultivate immortality are not gods. After all, if An Gui is really a god, or the reincarnation of a god, how could he end up in such a situation?"

Xuan Ye also agreed very much with what Taomi said. If he was really a god, how could he end up like this? Whether it was because he was framed or something, he would not have ended up like this.

Late at night, Taomi returned to her dormitory. Xuan Ye had always had people clean it over the years, and now she didn't need to do anything more to live in it.

Lying on the bed, he pulled Mimi out from the pile of jewelry and asked, "Did you find out anything about today's events?"

"What can I find? It's just a dead woman. It's just you people who are worried all day long. It's as scary as if the sky is falling. But in fact, it's not that scary at all. It's just you.

It’s just a waste of time for me to disturb myself.” Mimi said with her arms crossed and her lips curled up.

Taomi found a riding crop and tied him up again. This guy really had the same masochistic system as Jian Ning. She felt uncomfortable if she didn't deal with him for a moment. At the beginning, she treated him with the heart of an old mother.

Facing him, she gradually realized that the old mother was not good enough. She had to treat him with the heart of a stepmother, so that he could calm down for a while.

"Tell me, what did you find?" Dead people, she didn't see any dead people. Unlike her, he had a lot of spiritual power, and he might be able to find places that were completely different from what she saw.

"Isn't it just a dead person? A lifeless dead person, in your words, means that the consciousness is gone, the spiritual consciousness is destroyed, that person is dead, leaving only an empty skin, uh... not that body

The skin is not hers, she has disappeared from this world, that skin belongs to An Gui people, not the fairy cultivator."

Taomi understood, the immortal Xiu left, and An Guiren was left. The consciousness of An Gui was previously occupied by the immortal Xiu, so she suffered some damage. Now that the immortal Xiu is gone, she is going crazy.

In cultivating immortals, there is a kind of reviving a corpse called "seizing a body". "Seizing a body" is against the rules. Among ordinary people, the person whose body is taken away will be harmed. If you don't have enough skills to drive out the immortal cultivator, then in this way

The original person's consciousness in that body will slowly dissipate, and finally the body will be completely occupied by the immortal cultivator.

Taomi knew how the immortal cultivator came, and she didn't know how he left, but what was certain now was that there was no trace of that person in the palace. He didn't know whether he left or was there.

But in this world, I think the probability of the former is relatively high.

Xuan Ye didn't know anything about this from Taomi. An Guiren also died suddenly a few months later. Xuan Ye buried her in the tomb where An Guiren was supposed to be. From then on, An Guiren completely

News came from the Forbidden City.

Her disappearance was like a gust of wind blowing, and it was still a breeze. Not everyone could feel it. Those who felt it didn't care and left no trace.

Together, Taomi lamented the royal family's indifference. If she was not the Queen Mother's daughter, but just Mao Dongzhu's daughter, I'm afraid Xuan Ye would be able to abandon her like a pair of shoes. How could he have the current relationship with her.

"Let's just talk about the contradictions between you humans. A few days ago, you said that the little emperor allowed you to travel far away as a sign of his true love for you. Why are you saying that he is unkind now? Even if he is unkind, it is not directed at you, okay?

.”

Taomi nodded. She really didn't need to care about some things. She was a princess, the emperor's sister, not a woman in his harem. There was no need to feel unfair for the women in his harem. There was no fairness in this world.

She took over the territory that originally belonged to others. This is not fair. Therefore, in this world where the capable survive, no one has to give in to anyone. Xuan Ye is ruthless and has made indelible achievements in political affairs.

.

After Taomi came back this time, although there were only dozens of guards following her, she still brought back a lot of gifts to Xuan Ye, all of which were not available in the Qing Dynasty. Western things were new to him.

Of course, the most important thing is that she also gave the Japanese and Korean kingdoms to Xuan Ye, and on the second day after returning, she asked him to send troops to reclaim the land and declare sovereignty.

She already had the North American piece in her own hands, and it was far away from those two countries, making it inconvenient to manage. She gave it to Xuan Ye as a way to thank Xuan Ye for taking care of her over the years.

Xuan Ye also told the world that Princess Jianning spent five years to attack a country, using the best soldiers from the past, and captured the entire country without any casualties. On the way back, she attacked the country at the same time.

After conquering Japan and Goryeo, Princess Jianning became the queen and will return to her own country soon.

"Auntie, have you really become a queen?" Yinyi, who is eight years old, has already been studying in the study room. His master taught him the Four Books and Five Classics. Men are superior to women. No one has ever told him that women can be emperors.

As for Wu Zetian, Master said that woman was very ambitious. It was she who left the Li Tang royal family without an heir, and she also killed her son herself. Such a woman was against ethics.

But now Taomi is standing in front of him, telling him with her actions that women can also be kings, and her achievements are even more difficult than when Great Grandpa entered the pass. That is to capture a piece of land, and in the sea

The land over there.

Not talking about ability, just talking about courage, that is something that many men cannot achieve, but she did it.

Taomi stretched out her hand and pinched Yinyi's cheek. She was already eight years old and not as chubby and cute as she was when she was a child, but her face was still very soft. "Auntie has become the queen. Is there anything Yinyi wants to say?"

"Auntie, Master said that women cannot be emperors. Women only need to stay at home to support their husbands and raise children, and there is no need to go out to show their faces." Yinyi's voice was still a little immature, but what he said was what Master taught him, and it was firm inside.

It was full of meaning, as if these words were imprinted in his heart.

"Yinyi, do you also think that women should be men's possessions? Can't you make your own way in the world?" Although I know that people in ancient times thought so, especially in the Qing Dynasty, which was closed to the country and believed that women were just accessories.

.

"Isn't it right?"

Looking at Yinyi's clear eyes, Taomi sighed, "Yinyi, do you know your mother?"

"I know, Huang Ama said that Huang's mother died when she was giving birth to me. I miss Huang's mother too, but I have never seen her." After all, Yinyi is still a child, and other elder brothers

The princess all had her mother-in-law, but he didn't. He also wanted her mother-in-law, but every time she mentioned the emperor's mother-in-law, what he saw was Huang Ama's unhappy face, and he never dared to ask again.

"You know that your empress died when she was giving birth to you, then you should know that she was a great mother, and your mother is also a woman. You should not treat women as accessories, because that would be harmful to your mother.

It’s also an insult.”

"I didn't, Yinyi didn't." Yinyi opened his eyes wide and grabbed Taomi's arm. His eyes were full of sincerity, and he was deeply afraid that Taomi wouldn't believe it.

Taomi patted his arm. An eight-year-old child had never left the palace. All he knew was what others told him. Everything he accepted came from the indoctrination of his master and Xuan Ye.

It’s not his fault that women are treated as accessories to men, and it’s certainly not his fault. If it’s his fault, it’s because of the low status of women in this era.

But Yinyi still has Confucian admiration for his mother, otherwise she wouldn't be so nervous when she heard Taomi say this. If she is a little older, she should know that she is simply changing her concept.

, there is a fundamental difference between my own woman and my mother.

This is how many people in the world admire their mothers, but regard their women as accessories. This is not contradictory, but now hearing Taomi's sudden change of concept, Yinyi did not react.

Taomi didn't intend to explain that now that the Qing Dynasty was no longer closed to the outside world, it was certain to accept foreign culture. If Yinyin still accepted the ideas instilled in him by his master, he would have trouble accepting foreign culture in the future.

"I understand, aunt, what the master said is wrong. I must tell him the next time I go to the study."

Yinyi's young eyes were full of seriousness, Taomi nodded, and then frowned with a worried look, "Then what if the master says that he is not wrong and everything is wrong? After all, my aunt is wrong.

She is also a woman, the woman your master despises the most."

"No, Master said, 'When three people are together, there must be one who is my master.' He will definitely not think that my aunt's idea is wrong."

Looking at Yinyi's confident look now, Taomi really couldn't bear to break his fantasy, but the reality was so cruel. When Yinyi went to the study room the next day, she said what Taomi had said to him,

The master was unanimously opposed, and believed that Taomi was teaching Yinyi in the wrong way. As Yinyi was the prince, Taomi must not be taught like this.

However, Yinyi still insisted that Taomi was right about what he said, so they started to quarrel, and finally got into the argument in front of Xuan Ye.

"Jian Ning has met the emperor brother. I wonder if the emperor brother came to Jian Ning for something?" Taomi looked at the other people in the room. Except for Yin Yi, the other two were all dressed as civil servants, and they were not young.

She looked very old, with a beard under her chin, and looked very much like an old scholar. However, her eyes did not seem to be those of a scholar, but rather those of a martial artist.

"Jianning, I know you haven't returned to the Qing Dynasty for several years. There have been changes in the past five years, but after all, they are not as big as what you have seen outside. What you taught Yinyi is what you have seen outside.

, do you know that the national conditions of the Qing Dynasty are somewhat different?"

Taomi was moved and Xuan Ye wanted to say something to her. These two should be the two masters who taught Yinyi in the Shang Shufang. Hey, they haven't been here for several years. It feels like they don't even know the most basic people anymore.

, but her intuition was quite accurate, and she could see that these two were old scholars, or very pedantic.

Taomi smiled, "Brother Huang, I didn't teach Yin Yi anything else. I just told him to respect any woman. After all, her mother-in-law had a dystocia because she gave birth to him. Jianning knew that this was the emperor's sadness.

I don’t want to talk to Yinyi, but does the emperor hope that Yinyi will just forget his mother? Forget that there was a woman who died to save his life? "

Of course she knows that it is difficult for these people to accept that everyone is equal, and it is impossible for them all to accept it. After all, under the rule of the empire, it is impossible to achieve equality for everyone, so what she has to do is to improve women's

Status, the same thing, men can do it, women can do it too.

But this is an arduous task that will not happen overnight. What she wants to change now is those people's concept of "women are accessories", and let Yinyin know that there was once a woman who could lose her life for him.

No regrets, let him respect women from the bottom of his heart.

Taomi's words successfully silenced Xuan Ye. In these years, he had only told Yinyi once about Queen Hesheli, but he knew that Yinyi had remembered it. Now that Taomi said this, he seemed to

It is true that he forgot to let Yinyi be grateful to his mother who gave birth to him and died for him.

Seeing that Xuan Ye was encouraged by Taomi, the other two people present looked at each other, and one of them said, "Your Majesty, I think that Princess Jianning's words are very reasonable. For the sake of His Royal Highness, the Queen is giving birth."

On that day when the child passed away, the prince is indeed worthy of respect and should be kept in mind, so as not to lose the love that the late queen had for His Highness the prince. But that was just the late queen. There are so many women in the world, and they

Since they have not lost their lives for His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince will naturally not have any feelings of admiration for them."

This first praise and then censure is worthy of someone who studies knowledge. Looking at Yinyi’s confused eyes, I’m afraid he will definitely agree with it after he thinks about it. Taomi ignores those two pedantic old scholars.

, looked at Xuan Ye.

"Brother Huang is the Son of the Emperor, so I wonder what Brother Huang understands about the Son of the Emperor?" Seeing Xuan Ye open his mouth to speak, Taomi quickly stopped the conversation and said, "Jianning believes that the word 'Emperor' means
To be continued...
