"Princess, do you think that if the Hong family member is released, will the Queen stop doing this?"
Leng Xiao raised her eyes, "I have reduced the period of her grounding from one year to one month. I did this for the queen's sake. She has violated my bottom line by taking away my son without permission. If In this way, I won’t punish you, and I will let anyone ask for mercy. From now on, whoever wants to take away my children can take them away, and there are no consequences to bear anyway.”
Ape nodded, "Indeed."
"Besides, she already has a grudge against me in her heart. It won't be of much use if I give in now. She will always remember my disobedience to her, and this thorn in her heart will be buried in her heart."
The more Leng Xiao thought about it, the more impatient she became. The queen couldn't tell who was an outsider and who was one of her own. She always wanted to stand up for outsiders. With such a holy mother and such a lotus, how did this queen become the queen?
However, it once again proves how difficult it is to have two people in this era. If you think about it carefully, who can be blamed? What she did was shocking.
She stroked her belly and asked Ape, "Is there any man in the Wei Dynasty who will only keep his wife for the rest of his life and not take concubines?"
Ape smiled and said: "Yes, there are many. Most common people's families are like this. Only rich families or officials' families take concubines. If there is no money in common people's families, the wife will not be able to give birth to children. At most It’s just to adopt a concubine, and you have to pay money for it.”
"That is to say, there are no officials in the DPRK who don't take concubines, right?"
"Very few. After becoming an official, who doesn't want to have three wives and four concubines?" Ape smiled sarcastically. Perhaps he had heard the princess talk too much and felt that his husband was his own and could not be divided among others at will. Go.
"No," Ape suddenly remembered something, "the king of the old town did not marry a concubine, only the old princess."
"Really?" Leng Xiao suddenly became interested and sat upright, "Tell me about them."
Ape brought a chair and sat down, saying: "Actually, I don't know very well. After all, the old prince is old, and their affairs have been going on for a long time. I just heard that there were books outside saying that the old prince was old when he was young. After marrying a princess, the princess was unable to have children. Wan Zongye gave many beauties to the palace, but the prince kicked them out. He said that even if he was childless for the rest of his life, he would not hurt the princess by taking concubines. At that time, Wan Zongye was still very angry. He heard that the elders of the royal family took turns to persuade him, and Wan Zongye even demoted him to a commoner because of this, but in the end they could not change his decision. "
Leng Xiao listened in awe, "Then they really have no children?"
"Not now, but I heard that she originally had a daughter, but she died when she was three years old. The old princess had a dystocia when giving birth to her daughter, and struggled to save her life. After that, she was no longer able to have children."
"Then they are still very affectionate now that they are old, right?" Leng Xiao asked.
"They are very loving. Now they live in the King's Mansion for retirement. They rarely come out. They don't even show up for the Empress Dowager's birthday or the Emperor's Long Live Birthday."
Leng Xiao knew that there was this king of the town. He was the younger brother of Wan Zongye. In other words, he was the great uncle of the current emperor. Even the Queen Mother had to respect him as uncle. He was from the military and had a high seniority and reputation. Also very high.
As for his private life, I really don’t know anything about it, but I didn’t expect that he is a lover. The king of the town has a very high status, among the highest among princes. With such a noble status, he can still insist on not taking concubines and guarding one woman for his whole life. Even in their old age, they were still very affectionate. They were truly a couple of gods and immortals.
