Chapter 113: Marital Autonomy
Wen Ling was afraid that Mu Sheng would say something irreparable, so he took a breath and knelt directly in front of the emperor and concubine.
"Ling'er girl, what is this doing?" When Huang Xinrou saw Wen Ling like this, she knew that this girl's request must be not small.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers have a reluctant request, and after the courtiers say it, they hope that the emperor will forgive them."
"You tell me first."
"The courtiers are brave and want the emperor to give the courtiers the right to marry."
As soon as these words came out, the room was silent. "Why do you ask for that?" When he said this, Qi Zhan restrained his smile. Outsiders knew at a glance that the emperor was angry.
Huang Xinrou was also taken aback by Wen Ling's request, for fear that the emperor would be dissatisfied, so she hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, Ling'er made such a request, and it was all the courtiers who did not teach it well."
I also asked the emperor to look at Ling'er's young and ignorant sake, and put all the sins on the courtiers. ”
Ye Zixi also knelt down to intercede for Wen Ling, "Your Majesty, Ling'er is the first time to participate in this kind of banquet, she is still young and doesn't understand anything, and she asks the emperor to forgive her sins." ”
Qi Hongxin also knelt down and pleaded, "Father, Ling'er is so upright by nature, there are not so many conspiracies and calculations, there is one thing to say." He didn't mean to be disrespectful to his father, and asked his father to atone for his sins. ”
Qin Liang saw Qi Hongxin come out for Wen Ling again, and his angry nails pinched into his palms. The pain made her regain some of her senses, and she knelt down, "Father, Sister Ling'er is already innocent, this should be an unintentional mistake, and I hope that my father will atone for his sins." ”
Wen Jinghan saw the people kneeling here, and knew that something should have happened, and when he came over, his sister and mother were kneeling on the ground.
Obviously, his sister offended the emperor, and knelt down, "Your Majesty, my sister is still young, and she rarely goes out on weekdays, so she doesn't understand human feelings, and blames me for not teaching my brother well, and please ask the emperor, what blame do I have to bear for her as a brother." ”
Seeing so many people kneeling on the ground, Emperor Qi smiled, "You guys." One by one, if I am a tyrant, let's get up, I also want to hear what Ling'er has to say. ”
"Thank you for the emperor's forgiveness, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
After a group of people got up, the emperor asked, "Ling'er girl, tell me about it." Marriage is the order of the parents, this is a rule left over from ancient times, why do you want to be independent?
Do you know that at the very least, this is a temper tantrum in the daughter's family, and at the worst, it is disloyal, unfilial and disrespectful to the law of the country."
"Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sin, the courtiers have no such intentions."
"Since Ling'er can remember, I have often heard people say that the emperor is an infatuated person, and he can make the three thousand pink delicatures in the harem colorless for the sake of the concubine Niangniang, and the emperor can not draft the concubine for the concubine Niangniang from now on, this matter is not easy in ordinary people, let alone in the emperor's family.
Ling'er felt that the emperor and the concubine must have fallen in love with each other to the extreme, so they were willing to give up all the fandel. Is there a woman in the world who doesn't envy this affection, and who can not be moved? Winning the hearts of one person is better than countless people in the world! ”
"The courtiers have lived in a home without fighting since childhood, the maids are harmonious, and the masters are harmonious. This is all thanks to my father and mother. Because my father had no wives and concubines, he kept the harmony of a family. ”
"Many people may think that Daddy is stupid and doesn't know how to enjoy the blessings of Qi people. The courtiers felt that their father was the best man in the world, because of his decision not to take a concubine, his mother suffered a lot of grievances, and also gave the courtiers and her brother the fatherly and maternal love they deserved.
The mother doesn't need to focus on fighting with her aunt, so she puts all her thoughts on how to make a family better, and her father can also teach Ling'er some homework in person, but Ling'er's qualifications are stupid, and she wastes her father's good intentions.
On the day of Daddy's rest, a family of four can still play around, loving husband and wife, and having both children and daughters, who is not envious? Hearing this, the wives of those who had a large number of aunts in the family felt the same way and wept silently.
"Now my brother and sister-in-law are like this, and the newlywed Yan'er envy others. For this reason, my father changed the first family rule of the Wen Mansion to "Men do not take concubines, and women do not enter the house with concubines" Hearing this sentence, Qi Hongxin's face turned pale instantly.
"There is a woman in the world who can escape this promise. Others only think it's stupid, but Ling'er thinks it's love. If you love deeply, how can you share your lover with others, even a minute and a second is enough to prick your heart.
Ling'er knew that these words violated the female precepts that she had known since childhood, and she was also guilty of jealousy among the seven outs. But Ling'er still wants to say that she has grown up in a loving environment since she was a child, and she has witnessed so many lifetimes and couples, which makes Ling'er not yearn for it.
"Ling'er also wants a person who treats Ling'er like a jewel, if she doesn't have the right to marital autonomy, even if her father and mother don't force Ling'er to marry.
In case someone asks the emperor for marriage one day, then Ling'er has no autonomy in the marriage event, because in recent years, the courtiers have been obsessed with medical skills, have never been in contact with the outside world, and are not very familiar with the people in Beijing.
The courtiers didn't want to let the courtiers marry someone they didn't know at all because of some reasons from others, and they didn't want to marry a mansion with a group of wives and concubines.
A hundred years of life, youth is fleeting, courtiers are not willing to waste a lot of time fighting with a group of women at the best age, courtiers have a world in their hearts, they don't want to be tied up in a small backyard, and the courtiers also ask the emperor for forgiveness after speaking. ”
Wen Ling's words, everyone present sighed deeply, "Okay, good, Ling'er girl has grown up, although some of the words she said are contrary to common sense, but what she said is also affectionate and meaningful, in line with ordinary people's thinking, this condition is allowed." ”
"Thank you, Emperor Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Qi Zhan turned to another Mu Sheng, who was also the first place, "If you have any requirements, tell me about them." ”
After listening to Wen Ling's words, Mu Sheng's heart was in turmoil. In order to avoid his proposal, Wen Ling would rather risk the world's condemnation and propose marital autonomy, Ling'er must hate him very much.
At this time, when he heard the question, he replied, "If you go back to the emperor, the grass people don't ask for anything." ”
"Such a great opportunity, you really don't want anything? You can also ask me to give you an official position. ”
"The grass people thank the emperor for his good intentions, and if he wants an official position, the grass people themselves will go to this year's imperial examination to take the exam themselves. If you really want to ask for something, grass people:
I wish that the wind and rain will be smooth, and the country and the people will be safe.
Second, I wish the emperor's concubine Niangniang's love will be as good as ever, and it will last for a long time.
Three wishes that the world is peaceful, the young have nothing to ask for, and the old have something to rely on.
Four wishes grass people can be at the top of the high school list this autumn. ”
