Xia Luotong was naturally referring to the Zhou Dynasty. This was a contradictory phenomenon that she could not understand. Most women hoped that their husbands could pamper them alone, or even just themselves. However, when it comes to their children and grandchildren, these are the elders. Women, but they hope that their sons and grandchildren can marry more wives and concubines and have more children.
If you don't want to do something yourself, why should you force it on others?
Speaking of the Queen Mother, Wu Zechen's expression became a little softer and respectful: "The Queen Mother is not the kind of person who is bound by rules and regulations. She doesn't care about these things. Otherwise, the father and the king would not have only mother and concubine at the beginning. Until the emperor and the queen I forcibly issued an order to confer Mrs. Xu as the concubine."
Xia Luotong was a little surprised. He didn't expect the Queen Mother to be such an open-minded person, and he admired the Queen Mother even more.
She is not a native of this era, but has a modern soul, so it is not surprising that she has such an idea, but as a real person of this era, it is very rare for the Queen Mother to have such an idea, not to mention her It is even more rare to be in such a high position.
The two of them talked together, not paying attention to the eyes around them or the progress of the banquet, just in their own little world.
At this time, the song and dance performance had long ended, and everyone in the palace played drumming and passing flowers. When the drumming stopped, whose hand the flower fell on would have to perform a show. This is the most common entertainment item at the banquet, and almost everyone knows it. Participation, whether voluntary or not...
Looking at the two intimate figures not far away, Liu Yingxue lowered her eyes and couldn't see their expressions clearly. She had no position to act like an injured and weak person now, otherwise it would only make people laugh, but her posture at this time, But it actually makes people look at it a little higher.
The relationship between her and Prince An has always been just rumors and speculation. Moreover, Prince An already has a concubine and shows such affection in public. If she pretends to be abandoned, she will only fall behind. .
Seeing that Liu Yingxue had been sitting "sullenly" from the beginning of the banquet to now, without her usual gentle and smiling look, Princess Ronghui who was sitting next to her glanced at Liu Zimo secretly, and then said angrily Not Xia Luotong.
"That woman is so shameless. She really has a foxy face, but she actually made Prince An change his appearance. It's really disgusting!" Princess Ronghui looked like she was complaining, "Xue'er, you are willing to give in. Did the woman succeed?"
Princess Ronghui is the legitimate daughter of Prince Jia, who was born from the first concubine of the late emperor. She has been following the emperor since she was a child. Only the emperor is obedient. It is precisely because she is obedient enough that even if Prince Jia has no ability or ambition, nowadays But he also lived a prosperous and comfortable life. He was one of the few princes of the late emperor who was able to live safely to this day.
Because of the emperor's care for Prince Jia, Princess Ronghui was given the title. However, she followed Prince Jia's temperament and loved pleasure rather than making progress. Therefore, she only had the title of princess, but there was nothing worthy of praise. .
When Liu Yingxue heard what Princess Ronghui said, a sneer flashed across her eyes, and her heart was full of disdain. Princess Ronghui seemed to be speaking for herself and standing on her side, but it was just to please herself, Liu Zi. She's just Mo's sister-in-law.
But how could Liu Zimo take a liking to Princess Ronghui, a stupid woman who wanted looks but not looks, and talent but not talent?
Although even Liu Yingxue herself looked down on Princess Ronghui, she was better because she had a simple mind and was easy to take advantage of, so she became friends with her and made her think that she had hope of becoming the woman standing next to Liu Zimo.
"Princess, don't say that. She is Princess An, and she was given the marriage gift by the emperor. I..."
Liu Yingxue bit her lip and lowered her voice.
Princess Ronghui looked at Liu Yingxue who was obviously very wronged but still insisted on speaking for others. She immediately said angrily: "Xue'er, you are so kind! That's why that woman took advantage of the opportunity. Prince An It’s true, Xue’er, you are so good, and you are a famous and talented woman in our capital, no matter how many people ask for it, he would choose that lowly woman!”
Princess Ronghui observed Liu Yingxue's expression as she spoke, and noticed that the latter seemed to have softened, so she continued: "I heard that the woman was raised in a village in the country since she was a child. I'm afraid she doesn't even know a few Chinese characters." , not to mention playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, they cannot be compared with you, Xue'er. Prince An must have been tempted by that woman's appearance. As long as Prince An knew the huge difference between Xue'er and that despicable woman, he would definitely not I would choose that woman again!”
Liu Yingxue took it for granted that the man was so beautiful. In fact, she thought so too. In addition, the Xia family daughter now lived in the palace, and her appearance was so outstanding. She was hanging in front of her eyes all day long. Wu Zechen was attracted by the beauty for a moment. It's normal to be obsessed with sex. Once the novelty is over, he will naturally know who is the best and most suitable for him.
"He hasn't looked at me for a long time, I..." A trace of just the right sadness flashed across Liu Yingxue's face, which made people feel distressed without appearing humble.
Seeing that Liu Yingxue finally reacted, Princess Ronghui was overjoyed and continued: "Don't worry, Xue'er, I'll leave this matter to this Princess. I remember that you practiced an ancient song very hard recently. It's very difficult. I heard that Nowadays, there is no other young lady in Beijing who has achieved this skill except you. If you have a chance to show it off, you will definitely shine! If Prince An sees it, he will definitely not be fooled by that bitch with a charming appearance anymore!"
Princess Ronghui clenched her fists and said firmly. Even she had to admit that this abandoned daughter of the Xia family was really good-looking. If she hadn't been given a marriage to Prince An, she would have become the current Princess An. , I am afraid that it is a big threat to many noble ladies in the capital, and even she will worry that Liu Zimo will be attracted by him.
However, if he could step on such a woman to show off, he might gain something good, and he might even attract Liu Zimo's attention.
Princess Ronghui rolled her eyes and had an idea in her mind. She called the maid who was waiting beside her and gave a few instructions in a low voice. She saw the maid nodded, left quickly, and turned to another table. Go.
At this time, a certain lady at the table, after listening to the maid's whisper, looked up at Princess Ronghui here, raised a smile and nodded.
