Feng Xiaoya seemed to want her to answer, and said directly: "Last year, before the rain, one qian of stone flowers, one qian of purple bamboo shoots and one titanium of spring water. Therefore, such a pot of tea costs about a hundred cents. This year, two qian of stone flowers, one qian of purple bamboo shoots and one titanium of spring water, and the pot of tea has increased to one hundred and fifty cents. Why?"

Xie Changyan thought for a while and replied: "Scarcity is precious, probably because it is lack of rain?"

Feng Xiaoya looked at her with praise: "You can think of this, it's quite teachable. Then do you know why there is a lack of rain?"

Xie Changyan couldn't answer.

"Dayan is located in the northern border, not as gentle as the country of Bi, especially in Yujing, which has less than twenty rains a year. The spring water of Zishu Spring is getting less and less than one year, and the yield of stone flowers before the rain has also decreased. It is obvious that this year's rice and grain will be one-third more expensive than last year. What should I do?"

Xie Changyan was confused and said for a while: "Is this also the test question given to me by the teacher?"

"You are the one who wants to be the queen, and the national economy and people's livelihood are closely related to you. No matter what else, if Your Majesty returns from the morning court, he is depressed and irritable, you must know why he is irritable."

"There are many civil and military talents in the court. Wouldn't you solve your problems for Your Majesty?"

Feng Xiaoya's eyes flashed, and she looked at her with a smile: "If you stay out of trouble, you may be out of favor."

Xie Changyan's face couldn't help but turn red.

Feng Xiaoya said leisurely: "Maybe, you never thought of being favored?"

"What, what do you like or not? I am the queen, and Your Majesty will treat me with the courtesy of the queen, and treat me. Benefits...that is what the concubine requested." Xie Changyan stammered and retorted.

"Oh, then don't be favored by you, how do you become this queen?"

"First, give birth to children for Your Majesty, and give birth to branches and leaves. Secondly, govern the concubines in the harem and handle matters. Do everything with ambition, virtue, benevolence, and have a clear conscience."

"There are many people who can give birth to children for Your Majesty and deal with harem affairs. Why do you have to ask the daughter of the Xie family? You have to Xie Changyan?"

Xie Changyan was stunned.

Looking up, Feng Xiaoya's dark eyes were so deep that it was heart-pounding. It was not so calm but rather cold. He asked her one by one: "Have you been very unhappy recently?"

"Are everyone talking about why they chose you as the queen?"

"Preface, character, talent, they all say you are not qualified?"

"They teach you all kinds of skills and tell you that it's all the queen needs, but you can't learn all of them?"

One sentence after another, like a slap in the face. Xie Changyan shook his body and could hardly stand. After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence: "I've learned very well."

Feng Xiaoya smiled.

Xie Changyan glared at him.

Feng Xiaoya looked at the carriage fragments on the table and said happily: "If you just have such a car, if you divide it into wrong categories at the beginning, it will be futile to work hard from now on."

"You!" Xie Changyan bit his lip, feeling that this person was extremely hateful, "What's the difference between you so belittle me and those who criticize me behind your back?"

"It's not me who belittles you, nor are you who criticize you."

Xie Changyan was stunned, twisted his fingers and felt a little confused.

"You have no goal or confidence in yourself, so you are so blindly following other people's advice. Even if you don't become a queen, will you be mediocre and just live a life of mediocrity?"

"I……"

"Say it again - there are many people who have given birth to children and managed the harem for His Majesty. Why do you have to Xie Changyan? I'll come again tomorrow, and I hope you have the answer by then."

After Feng Xiaoya said that, she didn't look at her. She went over and pushed open the door. The two servants bowed and guarded outside the door. When they saw him, they quickly set up the slide rod, and he got on the slide rod and floated away.

At this time, the water in the pot boiled, and the lid of the pot was swelling, and white smoke blew on Xie Changyan's face. She was so angry that she grabbed it and threw it on the ground. But halfway through the movement, she reluctantly took it back. "This is one hundred and fifty quotas..."

She thought about it and poured herself a cup.

Tea fell into the tip of his tongue, Xie Changyan was stunned. After a while, he slowly put down the cup: "Good tea."

No wonder Feng Xiaoya said that her tea was hard to drink.

The carriage fragments were scattered on the table, Xie Changyan picked up a piece and placed it under the lamp to look at it.

"You know how to classify first and then assemble, and you are really clever. Unfortunately, the classification was wrong at the beginning. One mistake was made, and one mistake could not be returned to its original state in the end."

"If you just have such a car, if you divide it into wrong categories at the beginning, it will be in vain to work harder after that."

Feng Xiaoya's words echoed in her ears. She couldn't help but wonder, where was the wrong one? Why did she say she was wrong?

"You have no goal or confidence in yourself, so you are so blindly following other people's advice. Even if you don't become a queen, will you be mediocre and just live a life of mediocrity?"

Xie Changyan couldn't help but gritted his teeth, suddenly became angry, and pushed all the pieces to the ground.

Zheng pushed the door in with the soup in hand, and a wheel rolled in front of her. She bent down and picked it up, and walked to her daughter: "Why are you so arrogant? I heard that you saw Mr. He in the study during the day?"

Xie Changyan pursed the corners of his lips and refused to speak.

Zheng lifted the lid of the soup, scooped a spoonful and blew it cooled down, and handed it to her lips: "I haven't eaten supper, are you hungry? Drink some."

Xie Changyan had no appetite, but when he saw his mother's eyes, he still opened his mouth to drink.

"That's right. If you have anything, just eat and think about it." Zheng smiled and continued to embroider the pair of peony shoes.

Xie Changyan saw that the peony on the upper was about to end, two small flowers, and thousands of needles were stung. Thinking of her mother's patience and perseverance when embroidering, she was moved. In addition, the sweet soup was in her stomach, and it felt warm, and the breath disappeared.

"I'm not angry, I'm just depressed."

Zheng was curious: "Why did Mr. He do you?" He paused and teased, "But do you regret not writing a memorial to quit him?"

Xie Changyan laughed when he heard this: "Mom, stop making fun of me."

Zheng sighed: "I really don't know how to help you. No matter what, I feel relieved to be able to laugh."

Xie Changyan looked at her, and under the light, there were a few strands of white hair on the side of Zheng's temples. Although the Xie family was kind and kind, the twelve years of widowhood still made this virtuous woman aging before she got old.

"Mom, today, Mr. He asked me a question - if I don't become a queen, have I ever thought about what kind of person I want to be?"

Zheng was slightly stunned: "How do you answer?"

"I can't answer." Xie Changyan smiled bitterly. Under the warm yellow light, Zheng's white hair was so bright. "Actually, I have been very unhappy this year. Because I have to learn a lot of things to be a queen, but I can't learn well, which disappoints everyone..."

Zheng was about to comfort her, but Xie Changyan patted her hand and continued to talk: "I can't help but think that if it weren't for the queen, I wouldn't have encountered these things. Everyone wouldn't have such high requirements for me, and I could live a more comfortable life - just as I was before the age of twelve. No one laughed at me for not playing the piano well, no one laughed at me for being indecent sitting, and no one asked me to understand this and that..."

"Wanwan..."

"But today, my thoughts have changed. What would I do if it weren't for the queen? I went to school in a mediocre way, found a marriage that was of equal status under the arrangement of my elders, and then got married and had children. If I had bad luck, I would be like my mother, and I would be separated from my husband and become a widow early...is that's roughly that?"

Zheng's eyes were slightly red.

Xie Changyan stared at her, "But my daughter knows that mother definitely doesn't want her daughter to live like this."

Zheng choked up and said, "It's enough for me to suffer this pain once..."

"So, I want to thank Your Majesty for a royal edict that changed my life. Or, it woke me up in advance. There is no freedom and happiness in life. Even if you are indulging in vain, it is just a secret fun. A hundred years have passed, and you still have to do something to avoid being a waste of life." Xie Changyan said, fiddling with the broken carriage on the table, his eyes were deep, but his words were full of determination. Zheng was a little scared when he saw it.

"Wanwan?"

"I want to spell this carriage out. I want to know what was wrong. I want to see Feng Xiaoya again."

The next morning, Xie Changyan came to the stable. The grooms were surprised when they saw her. Just as they were about to salute, she smiled and said, "I want to see our carriage."

The cicadas are chirping and the cool breeze is blowing.

Xie Changyan sat by the window of the water pavilion and focused on assembling the bronze carriage.

There were also many books piled up on the table, painting the structures of various carriages. Although none of them was exactly the same as this car, it also gave her a lot of inspiration.

Just as he was sweating profusely, Feng Xiaoya came on the slide.

Xie Changyan glanced at him without saying anything.

Feng Xiaoya didn't look at all uncomfortable, so she went straight into the house, lit incense, got on the bed, and started reading.

Only the sound of collision of carriage fragments remained in the house.

After a while of this, Xie Changyan couldn't help but breathe, got up and walked to the couch.

"About Mr. Yesterday's question-"

Feng Xiaoyaguo raised her head from the book.

Xie Changyan stared at him and struggled a little.

Feng Xiaoya waited quietly.

Xie Changyan finally made up his mind and said, "My mother is a widow for me, and I need to be filial to let her enjoy her life; I should repay the kindness of the Xie family for raising her and keep the family prosperous; Your Majesty's promotion is a great favor. Although I am stupid, I am diligent and motivated to strive to be a wife that satisfies him..."

"What you are talking about is responsibility, not..." Feng Xiaoya was about to speak, but Xie Changyan raised his hand to stop him.

"I know this is not the answer, at least, it is not the answer that He Gong wants. But He Gong's question does not exist. You ask - if I don't become the queen, I can't be the queen. The imperial edict has been issued, and everyone knows it. Two years later, I will be the queen of Dayan. And because of my responsibility, I do not allow accidents to happen, and I cannot be the queen, or in other words, I cannot be the queen."
