Chu Yunfei understood her mood, and couldn't help but think about similar issues at this time.
If Rong Cang ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, some courtiers advise the emperor to recruit more people to fill the harem, or some women from aristocratic families want to enter the palace as concubines, or even some people use all kinds of tricks just to win a chance to be favored by the emperor, but in the end they still fail. .
Then will the other party be unable to think about it for a moment and commit suicide in shame? Does this count as her indirect murder?
This problem is not that she is unfounded, but something that is very likely to happen. Even if she does not commit suicide in the end, the various endless means will definitely make people overwhelmed.
But because of scruples, she has to go against her will and accept this invisible threat?
If Rong Cang really has three palaces and six courtyards in the future, and those concubines are plotting against each other for their own interests, framing opponents, and even killing the prince, will she have to condone or tolerate it?
Obviously this is an unsolvable question.
If someone is destined to die for it, then she would rather the person die outside the palace, with as few people dying as possible, rather than treating the harem as a Shura field and causing more innocent casualties.
Thinking of this, she smiled with relief: "Human nature is selfish. Under the premise that you cannot change the behavior of others, you can only stick to your own bottom line, do not violate your conscience, and have a clear conscience in everything. Then any consequences of anything, It can all be regarded as destiny, the cultivation of others, and has nothing to do with you."
Jiao Wanwan was slightly startled and nodded slowly.
Chu Yunfei sighed lightly: "Just like everyone thinks that men should have three wives and four concubines, and the emperor should have three palaces and six courtyards, but I don't want to, so I will fight for it - of course, the premise is that I don't want to Rong Cang is of the same mind as me. If he changes his mind in the future and feels that the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard are his rights, then my struggle and persistence will become meaningless. At that time, what I should consider is to continue to persist or compromise. For now, the answer is unknown."
No one can predict what will happen in advance.
There is no absolute right or wrong in anything.
When the couple stood on the same front, outsiders who tried to get involved were overestimating their own capabilities and not knowing what was good and what was good. Her insistence was because she loved too deeply and was too possessive. But when their relationship fades, and even resentment gradually develops, if she persists, she will be narrow-minded, stingy and jealous, and will not be tolerated.
Jiao Wanwan closed her eyes and thought for a long time.
She is not a stupid person. Could it be that Chu Yunfei's words are not her inner thoughts?
She was depressed because of Qin Zhilan's death, but she knew in her heart that even if time went back, she still couldn't accept King Jin'an marrying her as his concubine, and she couldn't accept two women working together with one husband.
If King Jin'an really agreed to this, then she might be the one who died. So if one of her and other women had to die, why couldn't the one who died be that woman?
Thinking of this, Jiao Wanwan sighed softly and stood up to say goodbye: "Princess, please have a good rest. The prince and I will leave early tomorrow morning and will not come to say goodbye to the princess again. I hope that the princess will take care of herself. My grandson is safe and well."
Chu Yunfei nodded: "Have a nice trip."
After Jiao Wanwan left, Chu Yunfei leaned on the bedside and thought, life has never been smooth sailing, especially for women in this world, whose rise and fall, honor and disgrace are closely related to their family and husband.
He came from his father when he was young, and from his husband's family after he left the court.
If you can meet a man who is not fussy and has a sense of responsibility, you will be lucky enough to be one in a hundred.
Although it sounds unfair, it is a fate that many women cannot resist throughout their lives.
There are still seven rules to restrict a man from marrying a wife. If a woman marries the wrong husband, she will have a hard time getting ahead in her life.
…
The next day, King Jin'an and his wife left the capital, and calm inside and outside the court quickly returned. The speculation caused by Qin Zhilan's death passed like a gust of wind, and everything calmed down soon.
The emperor used the reason that the dragon's body was not healthy, so he directly handed over all the major affairs of the government to Rong Cang. He went to Shuhuang Palace every day, and asked the queen to take his eldest grandson, who was not one month old, to Shuhuang Palace for him to see, and formulated a plan. Strict plan - from now on, Rong Cang will be in charge of government affairs, Chu Yunfei will be in charge of resting, and he and the queen will be in charge of raising the baby.
The queen was speechless: "Can you breastfeed?"
This sentence confused the domineering emperor. He hesitated and said, "Don't you have a wet nurse for breastfeeding?"
"Can you change diapers?"
"Isn't there a palace maid——"
"The nurse is the one who feeds the milk, and the maid changes the diaper. May I ask the emperor what you know?" The queen raised her eyebrows, "You need to have experience in raising children, and you need to know a lot of knowledge. When the child cries, why does it cry? When the child is hungry, he peed. ? Or what is uncomfortable? How many kinds of cries are there in the child? The child is too young and cannot speak yet, so any response requires experienced judgment."
Emperor Mu frowned: "I will teach him how to govern the country."
"A baby that can't even speak can already learn to govern the country?" The Queen sneered, "Did the Crown Princess give birth to an emperor star that is rare to see in a thousand years?"
Emperor Mu was speechless, and then he realized that the queen had changed. Ever since she had this eldest grandson, she seemed not to take him as the emperor seriously at all. Afraid.
He simply used his trump card: "Queen, do you still want me to take you out of the palace to play?"
The queen suddenly became speechless.
Wouldn't it cost her money to take her out to play?
The emperor can make his own money if he can.
…
In the evening, when the queen came to the East Palace to visit her eldest grandson, she revealed that the emperor intended to give Rong Cang full power to supervise the country, and he wanted to travel around the world.
When she said this, her expression was a bit expectant, but also a bit worried. She was looking forward to seeing the prosperous world outside as soon as possible, but she was also worried that Chu Yunfei would stay alone in the palace. What if she was no match for the Queen Mother?
She had not forgotten that the Queen Mother wanted to stuff her two nieces and nephews into the East Palace. If she took advantage of the emperor and the empress' absence and used her status to exert pressure while secretly using various methods, it would be really hard to guard against. .
After hearing this, Chu Yunfei was extremely surprised: "Father is going to leave the palace to travel around the world?"
"Um."
"Mother is going too?"
The queen looked complicated: "In the past, when women entered the palace, except for the particularly favored queens and concubines who had the opportunity to go home to visit their relatives, other women were trapped in the palace for their entire lives. How could they have the opportunity to leave the palace to play? The emperor made this decision this time. Gong is actually quite surprised and really can’t refuse.”
Chu Yunfei was also surprised.
Emperors of all dynasties were afraid that the prince would seize power and would not let anyone threaten their throne before his death. Even if the prince dared to overstep his bounds, the emperor would never let him go leniently.
Our emperor is very open-minded.
"I am still busy with Rong Jinyue's wedding in the past few days." The Queen lowered her eyes to look at the eldest grandson in her arms, with a gentle smile on her face, but her words were cold and dissatisfied, "The wedding is approaching, and the Queen Mother summons me here every now and then. Let's chat, give Rong Jinyue some of this today, and give her some of that tomorrow, I wish I could let Rong Jinyue marry the entire treasury to the Chen family."
