After Mrs. Dou left, Chu Yunfei turned back to Shuanghua Courtyard, but did not enter the room immediately. Instead, she sat on the corridor outside and meditated alone for a while.
Changqing, who was dressed in green clothes, walked out of the house and saw Chu Yunfei sitting on the corridor. She walked over in three steps and said, "Princess."
Chu Yunfei glanced at him: "What did the prince ask you to do?"
"Stare at Prince Chen's Mansion."
"Go ahead."
Chu Yunfei watched him leave, leaning her head on the corridor pillar, closing her eyes gently, feeling slightly confused.
Sooner or later, the King of War will have a concubine, and it will be someone else if it's not Hui Ran.
With Mrs. Dou's words echoing in her ears, Chu Yunfei seemed to have realized Rong Cang's identity at this moment. Not to mention that he wanted to compete for that position, even if he didn't compete for it, a royal prince with such a noble status should have a principal concubine, a concubine, and a concubine. Concubines, concubines and concubines.
Rong Cangjie loves himself and never gets involved in those things, but if he wants to compete for that position, he must win over the ministers of the court, and marriage is undoubtedly the most direct way.
Even if it is stopped this time, it can only be stopped for a while.
If she can successfully seize the throne in the future, the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards will be inevitable. Is it possible that she still expects an emperor to leave the sixth palace vacant?
However, although I can accept it intellectually, I cannot convince myself emotionally.
Chu Yunfei felt that she was quite greedy. She didn't want to share the same husband with another woman, at least not yet.
As for the future...
Chu Yunfei frowned lightly, got up and walked into the room. When he saw Rong Cang leaning on the bed, he said lightly: "Didn't I let you rest?"
Rong Cang raised his eyes to look at her and was keenly aware of her bad mood: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Chu Yunfei walked to the window and sat down, pouring herself a cup of tea. "The emperor may want to choose a concubine for you."
Rong Cang frowned: "Concubine?"
"Just now, Mrs. Dou came to apologize for her daughter, saying that the emperor intends to give Miss Dou to you as a concubine." Chu Yunfei raised his eyes slightly, and his tone was calm and did not distinguish between happiness and anger, "If you can bring Miss Dou in, the staff will The minister has changed from a member of King Chen's party to the prince's father-in-law, is this an added advantage?"
Rong Cang stared at her face silently, then raised his eyebrows slightly for a moment: "Fei'er is jealous?"
Chu Yunfei said stiffly: "No."
"Just be jealous if you are jealous, and my husband will not laugh at you." Rong Cang laughed, stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, "I have never thought about winning people's hearts through marriage. If I don't consider it now, I won't consider it in the future."
Chu Yunfei's expression was calm: "The ministers in the court have always thought that the prince is the backing of King Chen. Even if the prince marries Dou Shangshu's daughter as a concubine, the ministers may not think too much about it, but we ourselves should know that marrying Dou Shangshu Girl, you just pulled Dou Shangshu into our own camp."
"Help whoever Dou Shangshu is willing to help, as long as he does not do anything illegal." Rong Cang said in an indifferent voice, "If he does something illegal, then no matter whose father-in-law he is, he will pay the due price."
Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes: "You really don't want to marry a concubine?"
"I don't dare to marry because of my husband." Rong Cang's lips curled up slightly, "If there is a fierce wife at home, which man would dare to test the law with his own body?"
Chu Yunfei frowned, his eyes unkind.
"Besides, I'm worried that you will take your child and fly away." Rong Cang raised his hand and brushed her hair around her ears. "We don't have to worry about what other people do. We just have to do our own thing. If Father really wants to do this, I will There are ways to deal with it.”
Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes: "If you succeed in seizing the throne in the future, you will still have other women."
Rong Cang frowned slightly: "You care about this?"
"Nonsense." Chu Yunfei was dissatisfied, "Are you willing to share your wife with other men?"
Rong Cang's expression froze.
"Although men are God, women should obey them, and having three wives and four concubines has always been a man's right, but accepting it is one thing, and whether you like it or not is another thing." Chu Yunfei's voice was light, "No one wants to Share your husband like any other woman.”
Rong Cang didn't say a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
"If you are just a prince, I can naturally be tougher and firmly oppose you taking concubines." Chu Yunfei lowered his eyes and said in a complicated tone, "But if you are an emperor, can I still stop you?"
Not to mention that the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards were a matter of course, the pedantic ministers throughout the dynasty would not allow the emperor to leave the harem empty. They would talk in the court all day long, urging the emperor to draft drafts to fill the harem and expand the branches of the royal family.
Besides, being a prince is different from being an emperor.
When he was a prince, he could just focus on fighting and completely ignore the affairs of the court. But once he became the emperor, he had to consider everything big and small in the court.
Selecting the daughters of ministers from aristocratic families to enter the palace is not only to give birth to children, but also to better balance power.
What position does she have to stop it?
"You are my wife, and you have the right to stop me from doing anything that is unacceptable to you." Rong Cang stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, and his low and cold voice now had a bit more convincing magic, "Don't forget You saved my life. In order to make you the queen, I decided to fight for that position. Other women are not qualified to compare with you, and they are not qualified to enjoy the fruits of our victory."
This was the first time in his life that Rong Cang had made such a formal promise to her after the divorce incident, and promised that she would be the only one in the future.
Chu Yunfei was moved and turned her head to stare at him: "Seriously?"
Rong Cang laughed: "Does my husband look like a man who breaks his word?"
Chu Yunfei looked at him intently for a moment, and her tone suddenly became domineering: "A true man keeps his promise, and the God of War of Chu cannot go back on his words, so you must always remember these words today."
Although no one can say what will happen in the future.
But at least for now, Rong Cang made this promise, and Chu Yunfei believed in his promise.
This is enough.
Rong Cang nodded: "I will never forget it."
Chu Yunfei hesitated: "What if the ministers force you?"
"Things haven't reached that point yet, so there's no need to think about that for the time being." Rong Cang's tone was calm and calm, "Although three wives and four concubines are the norm, they are essentially rules set to satisfy the selfish desires of some lustful people. The powerful and powerful There are intrigues and calculations in the inner palaces of aristocratic families and nobles, and the emperors and harems of past dynasties are also intrigues and killing each other. Countless concubines, princes and princesses have been killed. I will not let these things happen to our children."
When Chu Yunfei heard these words, her face looked much better to the naked eye.
Rong Cang was not trying to deal with her, but really told her the disadvantages of having too many concubines.
Yes, intrigues and cannibalism have always been unavoidable tragedies in the harems of emperors throughout the ages. Many women spent their good lives buried within the palace walls, and only one person prevailed in the end.
Regardless of whether others have power or not, it is a luxury to live to the end of their lives.
Isn't Rong Cang the victim of the struggle for power?
There is also a queen who seems to be aloof but is actually suffering from the pain of losing her son for many years. How lonely and miserable must it be to stay alone in the palace for so many years?
Chu Yunfei sighed softly and said warmly: "I believe you."
