The concubine is so charming

Chapter 977 Why do women make trouble for women
Princess Fuqing presented a letter of reconciliation to the court, requesting reconciliation with the Beinu king and settling in the capital.

As soon as the news spread, it immediately aroused discussions among the people in the capital.

Some clapped their hands and applauded, saying that Princess Fuqing has integrity and determination, and since Bei Nu proposed to marry the princess but didn't treat her well, that's why she should cut off contact with them decisively.

Some people accused Princess Fuqing of disregarding the overall situation, and even brought up the idea of ​​women marrying and obeying their husbands, saying that Princess Fuqing's reconciliation violated women's morals, and it was an act of infidelity, which really harmed the princess's reputation among the people. image of.

The two voices were arguing, how busy you are coming and going.

In the palace, Su Yao was slowly changing the water for the newly inserted red plums in the bottle, when Meng Rou walked in sullenly: "I have seen the eldest princess."

Su Yao looked over, with a hint of concern in his clear eyebrows: "What's the matter? You don't look happy?"

"Princess, today I heard some folk rumors from the emperor."

"What's going on outside?"

"Some people say that Princess Fuqing and Beinu Wang are really unfaithful and unrighteous, and violate women's morality."

"You disagree with that statement?"

"Of course I don't agree. At the beginning of the marriage, it was the king of Beinu who sent an envoy to ask for marriage. If not, why would Princess Fuqing marry someone who is enough to be her father at such a young age? Now she has been in Beinu for so long. For many years, I didn't even have an heir, but I was caught in fighting all day long, now I have the opportunity to reconcile, why can't I choose the life I want?"

"Everyone in the world likes to comment on other people's affairs. It's nothing surprising. It's nothing more than spreading outside for a while. It can't be a big deal."

"It's not this that annoys me the most." Meng Rou shook her head, frowning tightly, as if extremely troubled.

"Not because of this, but because of what?"

"Eldest Princess, you may not know that it is a woman who accuses Princess Fuqing of violating women's morals."

"Woman?" Su Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was a trace of coldness in her bright eyes.

"Yes, Princess Fuqing has heard of Mrs. Miaoyang."

"Ms. Miaoyang? I seem to have heard of it before. It is said that she is a rare talented woman in the Da'an Dynasty. She married into the Zou family, a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River. The Zou family has produced many great Confucian scholars, and has a very high status in the hearts of the students in the south of the Yangtze River."

"That's right, Mrs. Miaoyang married Zou Shihuai, the current head of the Zou family. It is said that after she married, she has been a model woman in every move. She not only took the initiative to take concubines for the head of the Zou family, but also got along with those concubines like Like sisters, they also treat the children of concubines as their own, and everyone praises them for being virtuous."

Su Yao clicked his tongue secretly: "How is she getting along with that Zou Shihuai?"

"It is said that they are very affectionate."

"If it's true husband and wife love, can you still generously take concubines for your husband?"

"I don't understand. Some time ago, Patriarch Zou was promoted to a bachelor, and Mrs. Miaoyang also came to the capital. It is said that many wives rushed to make friends with her, and praised her for being worthy of the name. Unexpectedly When Princess Fuqing's incident broke out, it was Mrs. Miaoyang who accused the princess of being unruly."

"Hearing what you said, I really want to meet this Mrs. Miaoyang. It's okay for us to be free these two days. Why don't we hold a banquet in the palace and invite the wives of all families to come and enjoy the flowers."

Meng Rou didn't expect Su Yao to pay so much attention to it, so she couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive: "Princess, will this be too much of a fuss?"

"As a matter of fact, Mrs. Miaoyang's accusation of Princess Fuqing is to slap the court. Since I, the eldest princess, know about it, I should naturally meet her and hear what she has to say. Besides, I am idle in the palace. There is nothing to do, the emperor and the prince are involved in the affairs of the previous court, and the two of us can't help, so it's better to calm down the hearts of the people. The emperor and the prince are busy in the previous court, and I will never allow anyone to hinder them. "

"Yes, then I'll let the palace people start distributing the posts." Meng Rou's eyes lit up, and everyone was eager to try.

She has long been displeased with Mrs. Miaoyang, why do women make things difficult for women, is she the only one who can speak when she has a long mouth?It's nonsense to talk about not obeying women's morals.

With the eldest princess coming forward, she will definitely be able to kill her prestige.

"it is good."

Meng Rou left Su Yao briskly, looked at her appearance, couldn't help laughing, and then called Yan Luo over: "Yan Luo, do you know the situation of Mrs. Miao Yang?"

"Reporting to my concubine, this servant knows something. What the concubine Meng said just now is nothing but trivial. It is said that Mrs. Miaoyang is not only very virtuous herself, but also strict with her children. It is said that Mrs. Miaoyang raised her All of her daughters are rules, and Mrs. Miaoyang has been letting her daughters study "The Analects of Confucius", which says that every woman should first learn to stand up. Cleanliness, chastity means honor, don't look back when you do something, don't lift your lips when you speak..."

Su Yao couldn't help shivering when he heard this: "There are so many rules."

Yan Luo nodded in agreement: "Who says it's not? It puts all aspects of women in the rules, it seems that it is wrong to say more, and I don't know that Mrs. Miaoyang's daughter is How can I bear it. However, it is precisely because of Mrs. Miaoyang's reputation that there is an endless stream of people coming to the Zou family to ask for their daughters. It is said that this Mrs. Miaoyang also has a young daughter who has just reached the age of Ji."

"Just reached Ji?"

"Yes, if the emperor doesn't hold an audition this year, Mrs. Miaoyang should have arranged a marriage for her youngest daughter."

"What if the emperor drafts?"

"Naturally, they must be sent to the palace to be selected first."

Su Yao supported his chin with one hand, and the corners of his lips curled into a brilliant arc: "Why do I think that Mrs. Miaoyang's ulterior motives are not about drinking? She must have taken the emperor's idea, right?"

"Nowadays everyone knows that the emperor loves Concubine Meng, and besides, the emperor has no intention of holding a talent show. Could it be possible that Mrs. Miaoyang can influence the emperor's thoughts?"

"Qingchen is the emperor, and this draft is a topic he can never escape. He doesn't want to start it, but the adults in the court may not necessarily agree. And now there are only four people in the harem, and the courtiers will not Peace of mind."

"It's true. It is said that two days ago, there were adults submitting papers."

"I just have nothing to do during this period of time, and it's time to write a new vernacular."

When the story book was mentioned, Yufu and Wanxiang at the side also cast a rather sad look: "Princess, the story of your fox demon and our lady is not finished yet."

Su Yao coughed softly: "Oh, that fox demon, I haven't found any inspiration recently, so let's put it away for now. What do you think if I write a picture book based on the story of Princess Fuqing?"

"Princess, can't you finish the fox demon and the noble lady first? You don't know how many wives and ladies rushed to buy this picture book once it was published. It is said that some people almost fought at the door of the bookstore."

Su Yao smiled complacently: "You don't understand, sometimes you write something, just to enjoy the fun of Calvin."

It's actually quite refreshing to get the story stuck at the climax and then listen to the wailing.
