If not abolished

Chapter 126

Before going to bed, Queen Tong Jia suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, do you think Xiao Si and Yu Shu will agree by then?"

"I think it's 80% likely. Xiao Si has liked being with that little girl since he was young. They haven't been together much except in the past two years when he grew up and went to school. As for the girl from the Nala family, she is only a few years old. How can she know whether she likes Xiao Si or not?" Kangxi joked.

"That girl is also a person with her own ideas. She must have her own thoughts. If she could become my daughter-in-law, I would be very happy."

"It's rare that you like that girl so much. It's also her blessing."

"Every time I see her, I think of myself."

"Remember the first time Ning'er and I met?"

"Your Majesty, you are really good at teasing Ning'er." Queen Tongjia hit Kangxi angrily.

Kangxi held her hand to prevent her from continuing to fight and said, "I am happy and fortunate to have met you."

After hearing this, Queen Tong Jia blushed, but said, "I'm afraid the emperor and other concubines also said the same thing, right?"

"No, how could Ning'er be the same as them? Only you."

Chapter Four

Yu Shu, who returned to her room, did not know what Kangxi and Queen Tong Jia had discussed. After she came back, she was helped by the maids to wash and dress, and then lay on the bed. But she could not sleep, and she kept thinking about what the Fifth Princess said today, that she would marry the Fourth Prince in the future, and that the original owner of the past did marry the Fourth Prince in history, and later became the Queen, but the child she gave birth to died at the age of eight, and she never gave birth again.

The original owner was also a virtuous queen in history. She was not favored, but she was respected by the Fourth Prince. Of course, this might be because the wife had no choice. Even if she was not favored, she should have the respect she deserved.

More importantly, Yushu, as a modern person, cannot accept a man with three wives and four concubines. As a time traveler like her, Queen Tongjia and Yushu have something in common. Today, she was going to ask her how she managed to be with Kangxi, a big stud, but she was interrupted by Kangxi, who also wanted to copy the female ring. Ah, so annoying.

"What's wrong with you, young lady? Why are you rolling around on the bed for no reason? Are you feeling unwell? Tell your servant quickly." Aunt Qi, who was on night watch, saw Yushu suddenly rolling around on the bed and was afraid that she was feeling unwell.

"No, I just can't sleep." Yushu stopped rolling.

"My lady usually sleeps very well. What happened today? Is there something on your mind? Why don't you tell me? Even if I can't solve your worries, at least I can make you feel better."

It is said that this Aunt Qi had served the original owner since she was young, and was also the maidservant of the original owner's mother, Jueluo, and was the most loyal. The original owner grew up in the palace and had very little time to go home. Although Queen Tongjia was good to her, the position of this Aunt Qi in the original owner's heart was that of her own relative.

"Aunt, do you think my parents would agree if I never get married in this life?" Yu Shu said half seriously and half jokingly.

Aunt Qi looked at Yushu in shock, and after a moment of silence, she said, "How could a young lady have such an idea? She wants to stay single for her whole life. What kind of words are these? If the young lady and her husband knew about this, wouldn't they be sad?"

"Aunt, don't worry, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously!"

"My dear girl! Don't say such things casually. It's really unacceptable for a girl to say that she will never get married. Girl, please don't have such thoughts." Aunt Qi said nervously.

"I know. I also know it's unrealistic. I'm my father's daughter. If I really don't marry for the rest of my life, who knows how angry my father will be."

"Girl, you're right to think so. Don't say this again, okay?"

"Well, by the way, aunt, do you think it is possible for me to be the only husband in my future?"

"My aunt, what's wrong with you today? Why are you saying these things? How is this possible? Not to mention that you have lived in the palace since you were a child. Even if you were not selected to live in the palace, as a lady of the Ulanara family, you could not marry an ordinary person. No matter what, you would have to be selected to enter the palace. Not to mention that you grew up in the palace, and Queen Tongjia loves you and intends to let you marry the Fourth Prince. Not to mention the Fourth Prince's biological mother, Consort De, the Fourth Prince is the adopted son of the Queen, and is considered a half-legitimate son. Sooner or later, he will be crowned a prince. It is impossible for him to have only one wife. Besides, even if your brother-in-law married your mother, didn't he also take in a concubine later? Miss was still a Duoluo Gege!"

"That's right. How many people can escape?" Yu Shu said after listening.

"Young lady, please stop thinking about those things and have a rest." Aunt Qi advised. She watched Yushu grow up. Although she was young, she was thoughtful. She was afraid that she would not be able to think clearly and would not be able to come out of it. Such thoughts would not be good for her in the future. She must think more positively. Fortunately, the girl is not going to get married so soon. She should take advantage of the two years to guide her and not let her dwell on the dead end.

"Hmm." Come to think of it, it is impossible for these ancient people to understand my thoughts. I can only talk to Queen Tongjia one day. In this place, only Queen Tongjia can understand my feelings.

Although the Qing Dynasty was very different from the historical period, the idea of ​​men having three wives and four concubines was the same. Didn’t you see that the Eighth Prince who fought with the Fourth Prince in history married a jealous woman who could not give birth and would not let the Eighth Prince take concubines? Kangxi scolded her repeatedly and wanted him to divorce her. Because the Eighth Princess’s mother’s family was the granddaughter of Prince An Yue Le, the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, the Eighth Prince could not give up this political help, so the Eighth Prince was scolded and the matter was left unresolved. But even so, the Eighth Prince still had two concubines who gave birth to a son and a daughter for him.

What's more, he was the fourth prince who was an emperor in history. After all, there was only one Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youtang in the past 5,000 years. Nalan Rongruo, who wrote the story of a couple for a lifetime, also married someone else after his wife died, so it is really impossible for an ancient man to remain chaste for a woman.

chapter Five

"Is the girl awake?" the maid outside asked.

"Speak softly. The girl slept late yesterday and hasn't woken up yet." Aunt Qi came out and said to the palace maid.

"Yes."

A quarter of an hour later, Yushu woke up and was helped to wash and dress up.

"Miss, you look a little unwell. Didn't you sleep well last night?" Aunt Qi asked when she saw that Yushu looked listless.

"I remember I was dreaming all the time when I was sleeping at night. I was very tired." Yushu said with a yawn.

"Dreaming is the most distressing thing. Let's light some calming incense in the palace later so that you can have a good sleep at noon, okay?" It's no wonder Aunt Qi asked this. The Queen doesn't like incense, and my daughter grew up with the Queen and doesn't like those things either, so she rarely uses them.

"No, the emperor punished me to copy the female rules ten times yesterday. I can't fall asleep. Ask someone to bring some calming dried flowers to make a pillow. This way I can sleep better."

"That's right. Miss, please don't speak out of turn in front of the emperor next time. From now on, I will accuse you of being ignorant of etiquette."

"I see. I didn't mean to do that yesterday. I didn't expect the Emperor to hear it."

After breakfast, Yushu started to copy the women's precepts. She did not agree with the contents of the precepts, so she just treated it as practicing calligraphy.

After Empress Tong Jia and Emperor Kangxi discussed the matter between Yu Shu and the Fourth Prince, Empress Tong Jia began to prepare. But before that, she had to see what the parties thought, so Empress Tong Jia planned to ask the Fourth Prince what he thought.

Originally, she planned to have someone invite the Fourth Prince to have lunch at Chengqian Palace after he came back from the study room, but later she heard that the Fourth Prince was invited by the Sixth Prince to go to the Yonghe Palace with Concubine De, so Empress Tongjia couldn't invite him anymore. So she asked someone to call Yushu over, because she had to ask the girl what she thought anyway. Later, Empress Tongjia was glad that the Fourth Prince went to Concubine De's place, so she talked to Yushu about this matter first, otherwise she would have almost made a mistake in getting married.

"Yushu is here, come here quickly." Queen Tongjia looked at Yushu when she came in, and without letting her bow, she led her to her front.

After the palace servants put the dishes on the table, Queen Tongjia asked all the palace servants to leave.

"Your Majesty, do you have something to say to me today?" Yu Shu looked at the situation and knew that Queen Tong Jia must have something to say to her, and it was not good to spread it to others, so she asked everyone to leave. Thinking of what the fifth princess said to her yesterday, could it be...

Queen Tong Jia knew that Yushu was very insightful. She was a time traveler like herself. On the surface, she looked like a child of six or seven years old, but on the inside, she was a modern person in her twenties. Some things could not be concealed, so she said it directly: "Yushu, have you ever thought about marrying Xiao Si?"

"Your Majesty should know that Yushu, like you, has traveled through time. To be honest, it is basically impossible for me to accept a husband who will have three wives and four concubines in the future. Others may not understand me, but Your Majesty should understand."

"I understand, so I specifically called you here to ask you if you have any thoughts in this regard. If not, I have also told the emperor that if you don't want to, I will adopt you as my adopted daughter and let the emperor confer the title of Duoluo Gege in the future, so that you can decide your own marriage. On the surface, you are a princess of the royal family. If you marry a prince consort in the future, as long as you have children, you will definitely not let him marry again. What do you think?"

"I have no way to repay your love and care, Your Majesty." Yushu stood up, knelt down and kowtowed to Queen Tongjia.

"I always hope that others can do what I haven't done."

Tong Jia seemed to have thought of something.

"Your Majesty, actually I wanted to ask you last time, why did you come to the palace, and come in early? Shouldn't you avoid it as much as possible? You are also the emperor's cousin, so it won't matter even if you don't come to the palace."

Yushu asked the questions that had been on her mind for many days.
