Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Chapter 115 Side Concubine

It was quiet in the huge palace, and only Li Chengjing's voice could be heard.

Li Chengjing took all the responsibilities on himself as soon as he opened his mouth. Empress Dowager Yang intended to attack Cheng Yujin. With Li Chengjing like this, Empress Dowager Yang would not be able to continue talking. The Empress Dowager Yang lifted her eyelids and said, "The Crown Prince protects the Crown Princess. However, since you have entered the royal gate, it is important to know the rules of etiquette and general knowledge, especially since the Crown Princess is the future Queen, the burden on the Queen will come sooner or later. It's in your hands. If the Crown Princess doesn't set an example, the rest of the women in the world will see it and learn from it, so what should I do?"

Empress Dowager Yang specifically named her, Cheng Yujin couldn't sit any longer, and got up with her sleeves up. Li Chengjing sat beside her and stood up with her.

Cheng Yujin narrowed her eyes and listened to the lesson: "What the Empress Dowager said is that my son should be taught. However, Your Majesty is at the peak of the autumn, and the Queen's mother is in the world. There are still many things to learn from the Queen's mother. The Queen Mother said these words, I really let my son. apprehensive."

Empress Dowager Yang really persevered to provoke their relationship with the emperor. Now, in front of everyone in the harem, the emperor was present, and Empress Dowager Yang said, "Prince Concubine is the future empress", her heart is simply hateful.

Cheng Yujin immediately cleared her position. Although Empress Dowager Yang was disappointed, she was not allowed to pursue further investigations. It's enough to provoke these words lightly, but if you talk too much, you will be inferior. I didn't succeed this time, and there will be opportunities in the future.

Empress Dowager Yang slowed down for a while, then suddenly changed her voice and said, "It's been half a year since the Crown Princess entered the palace. The East Palace has been empty for half a year, and there is no one in the palace to serve the prince. Although these words are offensive, but the Aijia As a grandmother, this wicked Aijia is inappropriate, who else is to be? Crown Princess, Aijia knows that you don't like to hear these words, but you are an example of women in the world, and jealousy is a big taboo. According to the prince, there should be talents around People, election servants, ladies, but it has been half a year now, and there is no one at all. Spread it out for other women to hear, how should the imperial court educate the world? Crown Princess, don’t you think?”

Cheng Yujin lowered her head. She had expected this situation long ago, but she didn't expect that this level would come under such a scene.

Taking a concubine is a hurdle that a proper wife cannot get around. Concubines in Gaomen are as common as drinking water and eating. Cheng Yujin has seen her father and uncle take concubines since she was a child, even her uncle and cousin are no exception. Handling her husband's concubines seems to be like a housekeeper. skills.

Cheng Yujin didn't think there was anything in concubines before. She even felt that there was no difference between concubines and belongings. As long as the next generation of heirs was in her hands, where would her husband like to go, and what would she do? When the concubine gave birth to a child, she would carry it over to raise it, and if she couldn't give birth, she would throw it in the backyard to raise it. Anyway, it didn't cost her money, so Cheng Yujin didn't care.

Cheng Yujin also found it difficult to understand the handkerchiefs that she had seen who were fine before leaving the pavilion, and who were jealous and angry because of their concubine as soon as they got married. What's the trouble? It's just an addition of an object to the house. The husband-in-law likes to play with it. As a wife, the only thing you should pay attention to is not to let the object become so big that it surpasses you.

Every time Cheng Yujin saw Princess Qingfu throwing things for the concubine that Cheng Yuanxian had brought back, she secretly shook her head. Even more stupid. It's just that there are a lot of things to do after a lot of aunts. Under the same conditions, compared with a gentle and affectionate son-in-law like Xu Zhixian, Cheng Yujin did not hesitate to choose the former.

She thought she was calm enough, and rationally she understood that it was a matter of time before the prince took a concubine. But emotionally, Cheng Yujinguang thought that the Ciqing Palace she took care of would move in another one, or another group of women, and what Li Chengjing said to her would be said to other women again, and she felt uncomfortable.

Cheng Yujin pinched herself quietly, trying to use the pain to make up her mind. It's not easy for her to come this far, and she can't ruin years of business for a momentary linger.

Ten fingers connected to the heart, the tingling pain seemed to spread into the brain, Cheng Yujin was about to speak, but was suddenly stopped by another person. Li Chengjing separated her hands, turned around by himself, and bowed to the empress dowager Yang: "The empress dowager is right, as the prince, the grandson should lead the world. The founding of the country and the ancestors laid down the law, the prince's concubine嵵, Xu Zuo chooses once, and most people are limited to ten people. The county king is twenty-five years old, and he has no direct wife, so he chooses two people from the daughters of the good family. When he is thirty years old, he can choose four concubines. A commoner must be over forty years old and have no children, so Fang Xu has chosen a concubine. Although the grandson is the crown prince, the prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people, and vice versa. The grandson should set an example and set an example for the common people in the world. My grandson is not yet forty, and he has no children, how can he take a concubine?"

Empress Yang couldn't help frowning when she heard this. The founding emperor was extremely strict. He hated corrupt officials and extravagant expenses the most in his life, so he formulated a very strict order, even the prince, the county king, the officials and the common people. The number of concubines is stipulated. . Today, after a long time, the founding emperor has passed away for many years, and the strict rules and regulations have long been no longer strictly enforced.
