The queen said, and sighed helplessly, it's not that the queen doesn't want to let go of all the rules and get along with the emperor, the emperor feels that there are rules here in the queen and is always a little uncomfortable in comfort, why is the queen not like this.

It's just the emperor's temperament, the queen knows too well, and attaches great importance to the rules of the body more than comfort, so the queen doesn't dare to do anything that is not in harmony with the queen's identity, except for the occasional harmless joke in private.

Sometimes, this palace even envies those ordinary couples, at least they don't have to face as many women as their husbands, they can get along with their husbands at will without having to follow the rules of decency, and they can use various means to win their husbands' hearts.

And you don't have to pay attention to the rules of the body because you are the queen, because you are the mother of a country, you must maintain solemnity, you must not be jealous, you must take care of the emperor's women, and treat the emperor's children as your own children! ”

Nuan Xiang looked at the queen's sad appearance, and couldn't help but sigh, the queen has often had such a sigh over the years, in the final analysis, it is because there is a woman who does not want to be in love with her direct husband, and she does not want to be able to make friends with each other.

But after becoming the queen, these thoughts are destined to be only unrealistic thoughts, and between the emperor and the emperor, it is already the result of the queen's painstaking planning, so the queen's heart will feel depressed.

When it came to Xia'er, she looked at the sad queen, pursed her lips and said, "However, the slave doesn't think so, Niangniang, it's better to be the queen." ”

Nuan Xiang frowned and looked at Xia'er, shook her head slightly to signal Xia'er to shut up, this Xia'er is so straightforward and happy, the queen is sad at this time, doesn't Xia'er make the queen unhappy like this.

When the queen saw Nuan Xiang's movements, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, Nuan Xiang, you don't have to signal Xia'er to shut up, this palace wants to hear what Xia'er means." ”

After getting the queen's permission, Xia'er said: "The queen's mother said that the wives of the people don't have to face countless women with their husbands, but Xia'er's father is just an ordinary small people, who make a living from farming, and the harvest in the land is a little richer, so Xia'er's father bought a concubine and came back."

Since I had a concubine, Xia'er's father couldn't see my daughter and my mother who worked hard for the family, and when my father's concubine gave birth to a son, even Xia'er's brother and younger brother also fell out of favor, and Xia'er and her mother were not as good as a maid at home.

If it weren't for the law's explicit provisions, the concubine was not allowed to straighten up, and Xia'er's mother had already been divorced by her father, and the concubine was replaced as the wife.

Xia'er's father is the eldest son of the family, although her mother is not favored by her father, but she is still a clan wife, as a family wife, there are many rules to abide by, all of them are harsh, but it is a small family that does not enter the stream, but there are many rules like stars.

Later, Xia'er's hometown suffered a disaster for two consecutive years, the harvest was reduced, and the family couldn't get by. ”

Xia'er's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she looked at the queen and asked, "Queen Mother, do you know what the pawn wife means?" ”

The queen shook her head blankly, she never knew that there was a wife in the world, Xia'er wiped her tears and continued: "Niangniang is from everyone, naturally she will not understand this bad habit among poor people.

The pawn wife, that is, the poor man rents his wife, who is particularly good at giving birth to sons, to some landlords and wealthy merchants for a period of time, and gives birth to children for these landlords and rich merchants in exchange for silver, and when the children are born, the wife who is pawned out will return to her husband's house.

Women who have pawned their wives will also be discriminated against when they return home, because they are not chaste, but is it not the sin of the men themselves, how ridiculous it is that they uselessly give their wives to other men to have children to make money, and then despise their own wives in exchange for money.

Queen Mother, do you know, every year in the palace there are people in the palace who go to the village to buy good-looking girls to enter the palace and train them as palace maids, but they are not people who can't survive, and no girl is willing to enter the palace as palace maids.

Because the life of the palace maid is too cheap, an illness, a little mistake, the master's words may kill her, even if she does not die during the period, when the palace maid is old and leaves the palace, she is already old, and the second half of her life is destined to be miserable.

The first few times I went to the palace to buy palace maids, the slave's mother desperately stopped my father who wanted me to be a palace maid, but this time, the slave took the initiative to find the person who came to buy the palace maid, and sold herself in exchange for the fate of her mother not being pawned.

The slave maid is lucky, not long after entering the palace, she was favored by the queen's mother, and the rewards continued, so that the slave maid had money to send home, to ensure that the father would not continue to beat the attention of the pawn wife, and later the slave and maid became the mother's henchman.

The slave maid took people out of the palace and relied on the identity of the mother, which shocked the father so that the father did not dare to continue to bully the mother, so that the mother got the honor that the wife should have, and the concubine and the concubine did not dare to continue to step on the heads of my mother and my brother and brother to make a fortune.

And in the folk, men like my father can be seen everywhere, so Niangniang, the so-called ordinary husband and wife in the folk, is not as good as you think. ”

Xia'er's words, the queen has long been no longer sentimental, she has been shocked by the miserable world in Xia'er's mouth, so Nuan Xiang is not very surprised, because she is also the daughter of an ordinary family, although she has not experienced this, but she has heard of it.

The queen took Xia'er's hand and said with some pity: "Good Xia'er, tomorrow's palace will give your mother something, and it will be said that it is a reward for her for cultivating a good daughter." ”

Xia'er hurriedly knelt down, "Niangniang, you don't have to be like this, the slave said that these are not for selling pity and rewarding." The queen shook her head and smiled, blocking Xia'er's mouth as she was about to continue to argue.

Said gently: "Bengong knows, Xia'er, you are loyal, saying this is to remind Bengong that the people are even more unbearable, and you have been around Bengong for so many years, you have already done it with your life experience to sell pity and reward, and you will not misunderstand it until now, Bengong just hopes to support the intimate people around Bengong, so that your mother can live a better life." ”

With tears in her eyes, Xia'er bowed deeply to the queen, "Niangniang, slave thank you!" Thank you! ”

Jing Jieyu's holy decree and the queen's decree soon arrived at Yingyue Palace, Jing Jieyu looked at the holy decree in her hand, the smile on her face slowly expanded, for so many years, she has been looking forward to having a title, which is greater than the desire for carrying, because in the harem, the title is more difficult than carrying.

Now that she finally has a title, even if this title is just a static word, she knows why the emperor gave her this title, but Jing Jieyu gently stroked her abdomen, even if it was so.
