Chapter 107 Confusion about Career Choice
In the evening, the setting sun, like a ripe golden fruit, cast its last radiant rays, transforming the back garden into a dreamlike, beautiful painting. A gentle breeze rustled through, and the flowers in the garden danced like shy girls in the breeze, their fragrance spreading freely, as if weaving one dreamlike, beautiful dream after another. Around the carefully arranged tables and chairs sat a group of worried concubines, their figures appearing particularly solemn in the sunset's afterglow, as if shrouded in a veil of haze.
"The political turmoil has not yet subsided, but we have to consider our career development. This is really overwhelming and makes us feel overwhelmed!" A beautiful concubine frowned, like two crescent moons ruthlessly obscured by thick dark clouds, and was the first to break the depressing silence.
"Yes, I love embroidery, but I am afraid of being ridiculed for being useless. People say that this is just a woman's skill and not worthy of being performed in formal occasions." Another concubine said immediately. Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, were full of entanglement and confusion at this moment. There was a hint of helplessness in her voice, as bleak as the cold wind in late autumn.
"I do have a desire to study medicine, but when I think of the mountains of medical books, the arduous learning process and the hard practical operations, my heart feels like a jumping rabbit, up and down, and I can't find peace." Another concubine sighed softly, and her delicate body looked even more pitiful in the afterglow, as if it would be blown down by the wind at any time.
At this moment, an elderly nanny came hurriedly. She said in a serious face: "My ladies, please stop messing around. This palace will not tolerate your reckless behavior. Be careful not to get into trouble!" It turned out that this was someone close to the queen, who was instructed by the queen to suppress the concubines' career ideas.
This made the concubines even more panicked, and some of them began to waver: "How about we just forget about it and not cause trouble for ourselves?"
"Forget it! I want to study medicine!" a stubborn concubine retorted.
"What's the good of studying medicine? Embroidery is what we should do." Another concubine also joined the argument.
Suddenly, disputes arose among the concubines due to their different opinions on career choices, and the scene became chaotic.
Concubine Su sat quietly aside, like an elegant and noble statue. Her expression was focused, her eyes gentle and firm, and she listened carefully to the voices of each concubine. When everyone was a little quiet, she opened her red lips and slowly said: "Sisters, don't worry too much. Choosing embroidery is not a waste of time. The delicate needle and thread shuttle through the fingertips, embroidering not only beautiful patterns, but also the tenderness and wisdom deep in our hearts. Exquisite embroidery skills are enough to make us creators of art. Why should we fear the gossip of others? And although the road to studying medicine is full of thorns and hardships, being able to save the dying and the wounded with one's own strength and relieve the suffering of the people will win supreme honor and respect. Moreover, the road of life is full of challenges. If you retreat because of fear, won't you miss the opportunity to show your self-worth? The body is the capital of everything, don't forget to exercise. As for the external pressure, as long as we unite as one, we will be able to cope with it."
Concubine Su paused, then continued, "Everyone has their own strengths. There's no need to argue over different choices. We should support each other and make progress together."
Under Concubine Su's comfort and persuasion, the concubines gradually calmed down and reconsidered their choices. In the end, they strengthened their beliefs and no longer wavered.
"I have decided. I want to study medicine. Even if the road ahead is rough and full of obstacles, I am not afraid. No matter how hard or tiring it is, I will be happy to do it!" The stubborn concubine expressed her determination again.
"I still want to learn embroidery and express beauty with needle and thread."
"Then I will delve into poetry."
The concubines expressed their choices one after another. Their eyes, which were originally dim and full of hesitation, were now filled with determination and resoluteness, as if burning with a flame that would never go out.
In this picturesque back garden, under the guidance of Concubine Su, the concubines finally bravely took the key step in their career choice and embarked on their own wonderful life journey, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, about to bloom with dazzling brilliance.
