Wen Congyun walked like Nana, slowly. On the surface, she seemed to be walking very neatly, but in fact, she was always hoping that Lu Taifei would suddenly become interested in why she appeared here and let her stay. , as long as she can stay this time, she will definitely find a way to please the Dowager Empress.
If she wants to live well in the harem, she has to find a backer, and in this harem, the women who are also the new emperor's concubines are absolutely at odds with her. Even if she takes refuge with them, she might be taken over one day. Throw it out as a discarded chess piece, but if you look for the late emperor's concubines and there is no fundamental conflict of interest between them, then there will be no problem...
Wen Congyun thought well and properly, but her target, Mrs. Lu, didn't give her this chance at all, so even if she walked slowly, Lu Shichu still didn't call her to stop her, and she could only be disappointed in the end. left.
Returning to her remote and deserted palace, Wen Congyun sighed. She didn't know how long she would have to live in such a difficult and helpless life. If she was alone, she wouldn't care much about material conditions. However, she had a son, and she had to make early plans for her son.
"Wen Zhaorong, the third prince didn't see you when he woke up. He kept crying. Come and see him quickly. If he cries for a long time, the third prince might be sick." Just as she was sighing, Wen Cong Yun's personal maid came out of the inner room. When she saw her, her eyes lit up and she said quickly.
"How long have the Third Prince been crying?" Wen Congyun became anxious upon hearing this. Her son was the most important factor for her survival in this harem, and nothing could go wrong. She hurried in and saw the Third Prince being breastfed. Grandma hugged her and cried non-stop.
The third prince is only a little over three years old now. He is really innocent and cute. Wen Congyun loves him so much. She just wants to give him the best things in the world, so she has planned for him early and wants to Climb the road toffee.
"I've been crying for almost two sticks of incense. The third prince doesn't know if he was possessed by a demon in his dream. He cried so hard..." The nanny quickly explained when she saw Wen Congyun.
Wen Congyun hugged the third prince over distressedly. Seeing his eyes that were red and swollen from crying, she secretly cursed that she had gone out at the wrong time. When could she not find the concubine when she wanted to find him? Anyway, she lives in the palace, but if her son hurts his body from crying too much, it will be a big deal.
After Lu Shichu drove Wen Congyun away, he fed the carps in the pond for a while. He didn't take Wen Congyun seriously. As long as he didn't give her a chance to get close, she would never take advantage of him again.
"Zhichun, find some new dialect books for me to read." Lu Shichu returned to his palace and was extremely bored, so he asked Zhichun if he wanted to read the novels.
Zhichun brought her a few books, saying they were the latest and most popular story books in the capital.
When Lu Shichu picked up a book, he found that it was still a cliché story, about a poor scholar meeting a rich girl and being sponsored by the rich girl to go to Beijing to take the exam and gain fame.
Although this scholar was also caught as his son-in-law, he did not hide the fact that he was married, and was persuaded to divorce his first wife and marry another. He still did not agree. After returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he even brought his wife to the capital.
Everyone praised him for his love and righteousness. Even after he became famous, he never forgot his wife, the scholar, and he was still in love with his wife.
However, I don’t know why, after a few years of getting married, none of the rich girls got pregnant or gave birth to children. The scholar was not anxious because of his friendship, but the rich girl couldn’t stand the overt ridicule and innuendo of her husband’s family, so she proposed to take a concubine for the scholar to continue the scholar’s career. After repeatedly refusing, he couldn't refuse, so he had to accept the concubine arranged by his wife.
The concubine soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son. The scholar gave the son to his wife to raise, saying that the child would be their son from now on...
After Lu Shichu read this book, his face turned dark. What a dirty thing. If he really loved his wife so much, how could he accept a concubine and have a child with her?
This scholar just talks very beautifully, but in reality, what is the difference between him and those men who have three wives and four concubines, hugging each other? Don’t you have a concubine? Don’t you have a bastard? It's just that he does a good job on the surface, so everyone praises him for being affectionate and righteous, and not forgetting the chaff...
Pooh! A sanctimonious and hypocritical man who did not abandon his first wife just for his own reputation.
Lu Shichu was so angry that he threw away the notebook.
"Taifei, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this?" Zhichun was shocked when he saw Lu Shichu throwing the book and asked quickly.
"It's nothing, I'm just disgusted by the content of this storybook." Lu Shichu replied.
"What is the content of this story? Can it disgust the queen?" Zhixia came in with a pot of tea and asked curiously after hearing Lu Shichu's words.
Lu Shichu said angrily: "It's just a good thing dreamed up by a sour scholar. A rich family's daughter helped him go to Beijing to take the exam, and he succeeded in gaining fame. He also unswervingly refused the marriages of other noble girls and brought the rich family's daughter to Beijing. Reunion..."
"Isn't this great? It's much better than those Shang princesses who stopped their wives to marry another or demoted their wives as concubines. At least this scholar did not abandon his original wife after being named on the gold list." Zhichun picked up the storybook and said in confusion.
Lu Shichu said sarcastically: "Haha, what's the good thing? The daughter of a rich family couldn't have children after several years of marriage. She felt guilty and wanted to keep a concubine for her husband to continue the incense. The scholar was very affectionate and disagreed, but in the end he still relied on his wife's pleading. He took a concubine and gave birth to a child a year later. He gave the child to his wife to raise, and even said as a gift that the child would be the biological child of the couple."
When Zhichun and Zhixia heard what Lu Shichu said, they immediately looked at each other. After a while, Zhixia said, "This doesn't seem to be a problem, right? The first wife can't give birth, and the concubine gives birth to a child and gives it to the first wife to raise. Isn't this good? ?"
Lu Shichu was choked by Zhixia's words and became speechless. She opened her mouth and thought of the current background. She didn't know what to say for a moment. She just felt that there was a breath in her chest that she couldn't swallow or exhale. Make her panic.
These days, the scholar's actions seem to be justified and correct. Not only does he continue the family tradition, but he also respects his wife's status enough that everyone can praise him for his good management of the family and his emphasis on love and justice.
Lu Shichu looked at the clear eyes of Zhichun and Zhixia, and finally sighed and said: "You two, when it comes to a man, don't look at what he says, just look at what he does." The man in this book kept saying The bad wife stayed in the court and won a good reputation. However, after a few years, she still kept concubines. The reason was that his wife was infertile, so the fault was not his. He didn't agree at first, but finally agreed after his wife begged? So this is I can’t blame him, he is still a good man who values love and justice.”
