There is no woman in the world who is not jealous. Possession is innate, especially a woman's possessiveness for her man is second only to her children.
Seeing Hu Niu giving birth to a son, it was absolutely impossible not to feel sore in her heart. This was not only human instinct, but also involved very big interests.
With such a big industry and such a prosperous and luxurious life, Xiao Letian must have an heir, right? Since ancient times, mothers have been valued more than their children. While a woman is still beautiful, she can get everything she wants through her beauty. However, people will always get old one day and need children. When they are old and their beauty fades, it is not enough to fight for it. The ability of children.
Fu Hui was already older than Xiao Letian, and her ability to produce children was not even the slightest bit worse than that of the younger Huniu. This sense of crisis had long existed, and even countless nightmares revolved around the children.
Whether it is possible to give birth, first or last, whether to have a boy or a girl are all issues. This is related to how power is distributed in the future, how property is divided, and even affects the future political system of the Chinese nation.
That's right, Fu Hui is a woman who grew up in the group of Four Nine Cities and Eight Banners after all. He doesn't believe in the prime minister system that Xiao Letian said at all, and he doesn't believe that Xiao Letian doesn't have the dream of being an emperor. In Fu Hui's heart, his future as a man Must be a king or even emperor.
Whose child will be the crown prince at that time will be related to his own happiness in his later years. Is it him? Or a Hu Niu? Or is it another woman?
Not only fighting for their own interests, but more importantly, fighting for the interests of the Manchu people!
Soon after Fu Hui married into the Xiao family, Empress Dowager Ci'an of Jingshan Mountain had a secret conversation with her. Ci'an ordered Fu Hui in a rare and stern tone to give birth to a boy for Xiao Letian as soon as possible. to destroy the possibility of other women giving birth first.
Ci'an once said earnestly, "The best structure for Asia in the future is for Xiao Letian to be overseas and the Qing Dynasty to be inland... We Manchus must be self-aware! It is not easy to hold this continent for two hundred years. For The sage kings of the Han people throughout the ages have all had their hearts broken by the constraints and balances..."
"But I really didn't expect that the last threat would come from the sea... That's a place we don't understand at all. Even the Han people have been blinded! Are you unwilling to explore the sea when you are in power? It's not that you don't want to, it's us. You really can’t!”
"Haha, do you know why I am indifferent to the world but no one can shake my power? Because the Ai family sees further than they do, so those who truly understand have to listen to me..."
"In the eyes of many Manchus, Xiao Letian is a threat, a scourge, and a monster that must be eliminated! But I don't think so. On the contrary, I am willing to give him a way to live and let him develop and grow..."
"For no other reason than because he understands foreign affairs and understands what the sea is like... Just let him run those islands well and be a king overseas. I can accept it! With him standing in the way, at least Wouldn't it be nice to be able to take away half of the pressure from foreigners?"
"Do we have to kill everyone and destroy Xiao Letian? Who will understand Westernization then? Shouldn't we just let the foreign devils bully us? So, Xiao Letian can't die, he can only be restrained!"
"But everything is conditional. He Xiao Letian must not get involved in the mainland. If he dares to come to the Ai family, he will never agree! So... you... you Fuhui are now related to the well-being of the entire Manchu people. You must give birth to a son. , you must let Xiao Letian have a prince with Manchu blood!"
"Let this child and Zai Chun become brothers, and our Qing Dynasty will have an overseas ally. This is the fundamental strategy for long-term peace and stability! Fuhui, Fuhui! You have to strive for success!"
"Furthermore...you must keep an eye on Xiao Letian's other women. If any of them are pregnant, you can inform me...the Aijia will help you do the dirty work. You must snatch the crown prince position!"
Fu Hui sweated profusely and turned pale every time she thought about this, and today was no exception. Her feet hidden under the table started to shake.
"Sister? Sister... what are you thinking about? Hey..." Fu Qing hurriedly stretched out his hand in front of his sister, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Did Xiao Letian bully you? Damn, this is not over yet. He has bullied the Qing Dynasty now. Can’t even tolerate a woman..."
Fuhui was awakened from her memory by her brother and quickly drank a glass of wine to calm down her shock. "What are you talking about? I'm fine. When did my brother-in-law ever bully me? Look at the luxury of this garden. Grandpa Wang in the capital is not as rich as me. Don't That’s nonsense…”
According to the system of the Qing Dynasty, the palace in the special zone is definitely a violation. Many of the structures have reached the prince level. The number of maids and servants in the palace is also astonishing. Not to mention Fuhui, even Xiao Letian's several concubines The eldest girl, Xiren, Qingwen, Ping'er and others all have their own courtyards and are surrounded by dozens of people waiting for them.
Moreover, Xiao Letian is most disgusted with the constraints of feudal etiquette on women. In this mansion, women can go out and play casually without the permission of the master. As long as they do a good job of security, Xiao Letian never stops them. Xiao Letian was not happy four times.
This kind of wealthy and free life has already made the noble ladies in Sijiu City excited and swearing. It would be really heartless to say that they were wronged.
But Fu Qing knew his sister too well, and he held Fu Hui's wrist with lightning speed, "Who are you trying to lie to? It's okay, why are your hands shaking? Sister, you must tell me the truth, what happened..."
Fu Hui's eyes went dark for a while, Ci'an's sincere advice, her own disappointments, the impact of the news that Fusang Huniu had given birth, plus the disillusionment of some illusions due to the war in the Far East...these negative emotions came together, Fuhui's inner defense quickly collapsed.
Can her little love for Xiao Letian withstand so much pressure? How should Fuhui choose between Manren Tianxia and the man she loves most?
What's even more unexpected is that in a flowerbed in the northeast corner of the lotus pond, Amber and two little maids are slowly admiring the flowers. The little maid is also holding two boxes of cakes in her hands, which are nominally for Madam. What she was enjoying with her uncle was actually Amber who wanted to keep an eye on her.
Hu Hui looked at Fu Hui in the pavilion with sinister eyes and sneered in her heart, "A broken shoe who has been married to three people dares to occupy the position of the master's main wife. You are worthy of it! I can't give birth to a child, and you don't want to have one either..." …”
"Fuhui, Xiren, Yuanyang, Ping'er, Qingwen... Why do you bastards fight with me? You are stronger than me, and I can't give birth to a child. Don't even think about it. You will never Don’t think about it…”
"Hehehe... Fuhui, don't blame me when you see the Lord of Hell in the future. If you want to, just blame your Empress Dowager Cixi? Without the secret medicine that the Empress Dowager gave me, I really can't do anything to you..."
"Hahaha..." Amber smiled and walked slowly around the pond path. "Madam and uncle are here? I made some new mung bean cakes and ordered some locust nectar for my wife and uncle to try..."
