Chapter 215 Li Yuan gives concubines
Two days later, on this day, Li Shimin went to the Liangyi Hall to participate in the inner court, Guanyin had nothing to do, so she let Qin Lan and Shiqin play chess on the side of the couch, and she sat on the couch to watch.
The palace maid put a low table on the side of the couch, placed the chessboard on the low table, placed the couch mats at both ends, and Qin Lan and Shiqin sat in front of the chessboard and began to play chess. Guanyin watched them play chess and gave guidance.
------
It was almost noon, the inner dynasty dispersed, Li Shimin came back from the Liangyi Palace, Qin Lan and Shiqin hurriedly stood up and saluted Li Shimin. Li Shimin and Guanyin greeted each other, Hsinchu and Zhanhua came up to serve Li Shimin to change clothes, while Qin Lan and Shiqin were busy packing up the chess sets.
Li Shimin changed his clothes and sat opposite Guanyin, and Qin Lan and the others withdrew outside the Chengqing Palace.
------
Li Shimin sat without speaking, as if he was vomiting with Guanyin.
Guanyin looked at Li Shimin's face as if she was not very happy, and asked Li Shimin with a smile, "Has Brother Shimin encountered something unhappy?"
Li Shimin didn't have a good face, and asked Guanyin angrily, "Why don't you discuss something with me?"
Guanyin had roughly guessed what Li Shimin was angry about, and she deliberately asked, "Why didn't I discuss with Brother Shimin?"
------
Li Shimin said unhappily, "Today, after the dispersal of the Inner Dynasty, Grandpa called me to Wanchun Palace, saying that he wanted to give the daughter of Yang Guanghe and the Yin Shishi to me as a concubine, I excused myself and said that I would come back to discuss with you, but Grandpa smiled and said, You begged your aunt to let Grandpa do this. Is this serious?"
Guanyin smiled and said, "Who said I didn't consult with you, didn't I tell you about it a few days ago?"
Li Shimin recalled that the two had indeed mentioned the matter of taking concubines a few days ago, so they stopped talking with a straight face.
------
Guanyin looked at Li Shimin and smiled slyly, "You didn't object that day, but today you said that I wasn't. Now that Grandpa has given you two beautiful women with unparalleled talents, maybe you are happy in your heart, but you deliberately show me a straight face."
Li Shimin argued, "Where am I as unbearable as you say?"
------
In fact, from Li Shimin's heart, he was not unwilling to take a concubine, but blamed Guanyin for not making things clear to him in advance, and he was also afraid that his readily agreeing to take a concubine would hurt Guanyin's feelings.
Li Shimin and Guanyin, after all, are a couple who grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and now there are more women to share Li Shimin's love for Guanyin, Li Shimin is afraid that Guanyin will be psychologically unbearable, although he has the idea of taking a concubine, but what he values most is the relationship with Guanyin.
If Li Shimin was asked to choose between taking a concubine and losing Guanyin's maid, he would rather not take a concubine than lose Guanyin's maid.
------
There is no holy love in this world, and the so-called holy love is just a fabrication used by literati and writers to earn other people's tears.
The instinct of the male is to possess all the females in the world, so that his offspring can be spread all over the world.
The instinct of the female is to cling to the strong, so that her children and grandchildren can receive the strongest protection and thus survive.
------
A man has a strong desire to possess, and all the women who have a relationship with him, he will no longer allow others to touch them, and brave men will fight for their lives for his women to maintain the purity of their genes.
A woman, on the other hand, is more willing to follow the most powerful man, and she wants her children and grandchildren to survive in the best way possible in this world.
When a man falls in love with another woman, he will still be attached to the previous woman.
When a woman falls in love with another man, she dislikes the previous man and sees him as worthless.
Therefore, whether it is male or female, the so-called unswerving love to death is fake, and letting one's children and grandchildren live and reproduce is the ultimate foundation.
------
Men and women born in noble families have understood the truth of polyandry since childhood, and every wife knows that her husband's concubine does not mean betrayal of herself, so her husband's concubine is natural.
Now that Li Yuan has given the beauty to Li Shimin, although Li Shimin's face did not show joy, he did not resist in his heart. For Guanyin, this matter was caused by her, and naturally there is no reason to be unhappy.
-------
On the second day, Li Yuan sent an insider to Chengqing Hall to read the emperor's book, and the palace people who followed him led Yang Jing and Yin Yue'e to visit Li Shimin and Guanyin.
The gist of Li Yuan's book is that Yang Jing was given to Li Shimin, and her identity was that she was a widow of the fifth grade; Yin Yue'e was released from an official slave to a beloved, and Li Shimin was given a concubine from the six grades.
Because Yin Yue'e's original identity was an official slave, she had to be released as a lover first, so that she could be qualified to become Li Shimin's concubine.
------
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a hierarchy of household registration, and there were good people and untouchables.
A good person is a free being, while a untouchable person has no personal freedom, and is a slave of the government or the personal property of the master.
The untouchables are divided into official and lowly people.
An official is an official slave, a person who has been confiscated into the government as a slave because of a crime.
The people are the domestic slaves who are included in the slavery of the people, and the domestic slaves have no personal freedom, and can be bought and sold like livestock and farm houses.
According to the laws of the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was no intermarriage between a lover and a pariah. Officials are not allowed to marry their beloved, and those who violate it will be punished with a hundred rods. A person who marries a woman from an official household shall be sentenced to imprisonment of one and a half years.
-------
The laws of the time strictly stipulated that monogamy should be observed, ensuring that the status of the wife in the family would not be shaken.
As stated in "Tang Law Shu Yi", one husband and one woman is a system that is not published. That is, monogamy is an immutable institution.
The law also stipulates that even if a slave or maid is to be a beloved, she cannot be a wife, but only a concubine.
------
Whoever treats his wife as a concubine, or if a lover marries a slave or maidservant, shall be sentenced to two years' imprisonment. Whoever treats a concubine as a wife, or takes a slave as a concubine, shall be sentenced to one and a half years' imprisonment.
Therefore, those who say that the concubine will be corrected and replace the wife is pure nonsense, which was impossible at the time.
The status of the wife in the family is absolutely impossible to shake.
------
After reading Li Yuan's book, the inner advisor said goodbye to Li Shimin and Guanyin, and left the Chengqing Hall with the palace people, leaving Yang Jing and Yin Yue'e.
Li Shimin and Guanyin sent off the prisoner and returned to the main hall of the hall to sit down.
Yang Jing and Yin Yue'e crossed their hands and bent their knees to Li Shimin and Guanyin respectively.
------
Li Shimin sat solemnly without speaking.
Guanyin maid wanted to put on the shelf of being the hostess of the house, and kindly told Yang Jing and Yin Yue'e about the rules of the palace, and explained that they should serve Li Shimin well.
On this kind of formal occasion, in front of Li Shimin, Guanyin has to do official business, and it is not good to be commensurate with Yang Jing and Yin Yue'e as sisters, but to call Yang Jing Yang Ruren and Yin Yue'e Yin Yue'e.
The wife should have the appearance of the wife, so as not to be pampered and arrogant by the concubines, so as to give birth to the idea of arrogance.
After Guanyin explained to Yang Jing and Yin Yue'e, she instructed Hsinchu and Zhanhua to lead them to the backyard that had been cleaned up.
------
In the afternoon, Li Shimin went to Huizhengmen to deal with government affairs, and Guanyin was thinking about who should serve Li Shimin in the evening.
It is said that Yang Jing, as a widow, has a higher status than Yin Yue'e, so she should be arranged to have sex with Li Shimin first. However, Hsinchu, who was responsible for placing Yang Jing, came back to report to Guanyin that Yang Ruren was having a moon letter on his body, and he could not serve the king until his body was clean.
------
Guanyin had no choice but to think about Yin Yue'e first, and asked Zhanhua to inform Yin Yue'e, so that she could be psychologically prepared in advance. Yin Yue'e is just a girl who doesn't know about men and women, and Guanyin asked Ding Niangzi to go over and tell her some things that should be paid attention to.
Everything is arranged, Guanyin's heart is boundless loneliness, she can't tell what it feels like. Annoyance or annoyance, love or hate? In my heart, I overturned the five-flavor bottle, and all kinds of thoughts were stalked in my heart, disturbing one after another, and I had mixed feelings.
------
After dinner, Li Shimin wanted to talk with Guanyin, but Guanyin said that she was a little tired and wanted to rest early. Li Shimin knew it, so he didn't bother Guanyin too much, and he sat in the study alone to read.
Guanyin instructed the painting to stay until late in the morning, remembering to urge the king to rest in the backyard, and then she went to the inner room, and read a book alone on the couch against the pillow.
said that she was reading a book, but Guanyin's heart was not in the book, she kept reminiscing about the days when she and Li Shimin were together.
------
From the first time the two met in the garden when they were young, playing the unfinished game of chess, to Chengnan Manor to watch Li Shimin and the fourth brother Sun Wuji study and practice martial arts together, and then to reunite after a long absence in Xinfeng Laozhuang.
Later, just ten days after getting married, the two went their separate ways, and it was not until Mrs. Dou's death that the two had a day to stay together.
Later, they followed Li Yuan to seek military power and promote Li Yuan to raise troops.
------
Before tonight, the two of them were heart-to-heart, and Brother Shimin belonged to her alone.
And now, Li Yuan is the emperor, Li Shimin is the king, and Brother Shimin will no longer belong to Guanyin alone.
For many years, Guanyin has been thinking in her heart that one day Li Shimin will be able to be called king and emperor, but she rarely thinks about it carefully, and Li Shimin will no longer belong to herself after being called king and emperor.
She also thought about working with others, but when it came to the eyes, Guanyin was a little difficult to accept.
-------
Guanyin's thoughts were disturbed, but her ears couldn't help but pay attention to Li Shimin's movements in the study.
After the second drum was handed over, there was a slight footstep in the study, although the sound was small, but it was like clogs stepping heavily on the heart of Guanyin.
The footsteps were far away, leaving Guanyin with the silence of the room, and the unspeakable loneliness, she put the book on the bedside, extinguished the lamp and candle, and hid herself in the boundless darkness, without tears in her eyes, but her heart was crying silently.
Guanyin tried her best to calm her mind and closed her eyes, hoping to fall asleep sooner. But her heart was always unable to be closed, but she had already flown to the backyard with Li Shimin.
-------
Guanyin couldn't help but think in her heart, what is Brother Shimin doing?
She is imagining the scene Li Shimin is in now, maybe he is hugging himself as in the past, hugging the new beauty and intimacy.
Maybe Yin Yue'e is calling her Brother Shimin in a delicate voice, and the title of Brother Shimin no longer belongs only to herself.
Perhaps her brother and Yin Yue'e are affectionately giving, skin to skin, and rain is rising.
------
Thinking about the scene of her lover holding other women and making love, Guanyin's heart gave birth to hatred.
She didn't know whether to hate Brother Shimin for being ruthless, or to hate herself for being stupid, hating herself for taking the initiative to send two beautiful women like flowers and jade into Brother Shimin's arms.
