Quick Transmigration: Pangu is Actually My Brother

Chapter 238 A Female-Dominated World (10)

Everyone was very happy on the Lantern Festival. The reason for this was that the Tianfeng Dynasty had strict rules and regulations, but on this day, both men and women could go out on the streets and walk alone.

How could men who might spend all year round at home not be happy?

Early in the morning, before Wangyou was fully awake, she was woken up by all sorts of noises.

Her father and several younger fathers kept matching outfits for her to wear when going out, and her younger siblings were just as good at it.

"Wangyou, come here quickly. Your father made these clothes especially for you. Go and try them on." Lingchen saw Wangyou coming over with sleepy eyes and took a set of red clothes from the servant and handed them to Wangyou.

Looking at the extremely conspicuous outfit in her hand, and then at her father's expectant eyes, Wangyou thought, "Fine, I'll change it!"

Wangyou changed her clothes and came out, leaving the people waiting outside dumbfounded.

"Dad, what are you all standing there for? Isn't it beautiful?"

"I actually gave birth to a fairy-like daughter, she's so beautiful." Ling Chen came back to his senses and kept muttering to himself.

“Sister is the most beautiful, like a deity enshrined in a temple,” Xie Wangqing said after a long pause.

"My sister must have captivated so many men today!" Xie Xinmei couldn't help but sigh. He was a year younger than Wangyou, and after seeing her sister's divine beauty, he wondered what kind of woman could possibly catch his eye.

"Forget-Me-Not, you'll look even better if you put this white fox fur coat on!"

Wangyou actually felt that this was really eye-catching, but seeing that her father was happy, she let him be, since it didn't really matter.

The family dressed neatly, and Wangyou assigned guards to each of them before they finally set off.

After all, the Lantern Festival is a very lively day, and there have been quite a few incidents in the past, so it's always good to be prepared.

"Wow, what a beautiful lantern! Sister, I want one!" Xie Wangshu said coquettishly, looking at a pretty rabbit lantern.

"Okay, I'll buy them all for you. Wangqing, Xinmei, Xinzhu, and Xinlan, each of you pick one, and I'll pay for it!" Wangyou said happily, picking out a lantern for herself.

As for the three little sisters and one little brother who were being held in her arms, Wangyou didn't forget her purpose and picked out smaller lanterns for them and placed them in their hands.

The Lantern Festival was truly lively, with a huge crowd. After strolling around with her family for a while, Wangyou instructed the guards and servants to stay close to their mistress. With so many people watching, they might lose sight of her. Although she could find her if she did, it was better to avoid trouble.

After that, they were left to explore on their own.

Wangyou carried a lantern and slowly walked through the crowd onto a bridge. Just then, fireworks lit up the sky, forming dazzling but fleeting flowers.

As the saying goes, one misses their loved ones even more during festivals. Wangyou misses her family a little, but she probably won't be able to go back in her lifetime.

You admire the scenery from the bridge, but you yourself are part of someone else's scenery.

This statement couldn't be more fitting for Wangyou.

Wangyou, who had complained about the trouble of wearing a white fox fur coat when she went out, now stirred the hearts of countless young men with her red clothes.

"Wow, I've always known that Forget-Me-Not is beautiful, but this is just too beautiful." Liu Xiang murmured to herself as she watched the fireworks with her family in the attic. She, a woman, was stunned, let alone these young men who never went out.

"Big sister, do you know that queen?" Liu Xiang's younger brother asked when he heard his sister's murmur.

"That's the classmate I was talking about."

“That must be Xie Wangyou!” Liu Xiang’s mother also looked over. “Such a graceful and outstanding female ruler, I wonder which young man is worthy of her as the rightful ruler.”

“Mother, second brother, don’t think about it. She only said she wanted to find someone better looking than her, or at least someone whose appearance was similar to hers. But looking at the whole of Fengdu, which young man can match even a fraction of her charm?” Liu Xiang shook her head. She had known Wangyou for a long time, and she didn’t think that this person could be controlled by force.

The same words were heard in different places. Some wanted to be Wangyou's concubine, while others thought they would be happy to be a servant. As for the position of the emperor, very few dared to even dream of it.

"This queen doesn't seem to come from a farming family at all. Many noble queens are not as good as her, and even the ones in the palace are far inferior." Someone whispered, but everyone just kept quiet about it.

"Whose queen is that?" The empress, who was on the city wall with her harem enjoying the view, also saw Wangyou's profile the moment she turned around and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, that is Xie Wangyou, the top scholar from Qingzhou Prefecture, and also the eldest daughter of Xie Sanniang, who presented the sweet potatoes. She was the one who opened the granaries and released grain as quickly as possible to stabilize grain prices during this year's snow disaster," the maidservant beside her said respectfully.

"Now that you mention it, I remember. I haven't bestowed any rewards upon her yet. I wonder if she is married?" the Empress murmured to herself. Such grace and poise belonged to a member of the royal family.

“Your Majesty, no, Lady Xie is only fourteen years old this year, and she has declared that the husband she wants cannot be worse than her.” The maid quickly said, otherwise the reward would turn into ingratitude.

These words calmed the Empress down. She began to count which of her princes could compare to Xie Wangyou in appearance, but after counting them all, she found none. Even the Seventh Prince, who was known as the most beautiful man in Fengdu, was far inferior to him.

The Empress was a very enlightened emperor. She did not intend to grant a marriage directly. A female ruler who could pass the provincial examination at the age of fourteen and solve difficult problems would surely become a pillar of the state in the future. There was no need to make people unhappy by granting a marriage.

However, the Empress was not stingy; upon returning, she had an imperial edict drafted, and various rewards were distributed.

"Rou'er, this is Xie Wangyou, whom you always talk about. His name truly reflects his character!" Rou'er's mother exclaimed with emotion as she watched the scene. "Could you perhaps suggest that you put one of your younger brothers in there as a servant or something?"

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? One second I'm sending her a man, the next second she'll beat me up. Your daughter doesn't want to lose this good friend." Wenrou rolled her eyes at her mother and said.

"Okay, then, you help me find out where that sword was made, and if you can make one for me too. If that doesn't work, you give that sword to your mother, and you go ask for another one—no, buy one!"

"Mother, don't even think about taking that sword. It was a gift from Wangyou, and it even has my name on it. But it's alright to ask about it." Wenrou thought for a moment and nodded. Even though her mother was a civil official, she couldn't let go of the hurdle of abandoning martial arts for literature back then, and she still loved collecting all kinds of weapons.

"Okay, money is not a problem!" Gentle's mother was satisfied.

"Help!"

"Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"

"My young master has fallen into the water! Who can save him?!"

"Oh no! There are child traffickers! My child is missing!"

……

Wangyou was awakened by the chaotic noises. After regaining her senses, she glanced at the people in the water and the people holding poles to rescue others, and then left the bridge expressionlessly.

The young men who had thrown themselves into the icy water on such a cold day were dumbfounded, but someone nearby, unafraid of death, jumped in to save them.

As Wangyou walked, she calculated. She first checked on her family members, and found that they were all fine. Those who were supposed to go home had already gone home, and those who hadn't were being watched over by guards.

With his family members all safe, Wangyou was no longer in a hurry and began to observe his surroundings.
