Qing Dynasty: After Kangxi Kowloon heard my voice

Chapter 491 Finally Leaving the Palace

Being happy is inevitable, but more of a daze and a bit wary.

She didn't know how to respond. Which woman doesn't want the love of her man?

Don’t you want to be the exclusive love of your man?

This applies to both wives and concubines.

However, the Fourth Lady looked at her master who was staring at her. Her master could take back his love at any time and love other women. After all, it was normal to have three wives and four concubines, but a woman could only be with one man for her whole life.

To truly open up one's heart to another is like a gamble that seems to have no choice but to lose. She has never heard of anyone winning!

So since her master was so honest, she admitted that she was moved. After all, she had never been indifferent to her master, but she had been taught from the beginning to be the legitimate wife, to be virtuous, generous, and... to respect her master but not love him.

But the price of this affection was very high. The Fourth Lady didn't know how to respond at this moment. For a long while, she looked at her Fourth Master who had been staring at her without saying a word and just waiting for her response. The Fourth Lady knew the Fourth Master's temper very well, or it could be said that everyone in the palace knew that the Fourth Master was stubborn.

Or which prince is not stubborn?

It’s just a matter of whether it comes openly or secretly.

The Fourth Lady was somewhat helpless. After thinking for a while, she responded with sincerity to sincerity, "Master, do you know that loving someone is about possession, not sharing?"

"I know. Isn't that what I am doing now?" The Fourth Prince felt a little aggrieved. He was not stupid, and wasn't that what he was doing?

I feel wronged! But I have to say it!

"If one day you don't love me anymore, you can take back your love and love someone else, just like you are now. But it's different for me. I can't do that. It's not because a woman should be with one person for her whole life." The Fourth Lady's expression was gentle. She held the Fourth Prince's hand with her backhand, her eyebrows full of affection. "I, Ulanara Mingyin, am just like the Fourth Master. I am stubborn to the end. No matter what happens, once I fall in love, there will only be that one person in my heart for the rest of my life. If there is a day of betrayal, it will be the day of Yin'er's death."

That's impossible. She will destroy everything her beloved has. If anyone dares to betray her, they will die together!

The Fourth Lady's face was slightly bitter, "It's just that with Honghui here, Yin'er doesn't dare to do that now, because at that time, will I be dead or not? Even if I live, it will be worse than death. At that time, the master will not care about me."

The Fourth Prince pulled the Fourth Lady into his arms and hugged her tightly, "Mingyin, I know your feelings." The word "forever" was too far away, he did not believe it, nor did he want to promise his Mingyin with such empty words at this time.

Such a promise is a deception. A promise is only for a moment, and the "forever" in the promise is never forever.

The Fourth Lady leaned in the Fourth Prince's arms and slowly closed her eyes. It was good like this now. There was no need to be devoted or talk about true love or false love. They had never had a choice, nor did they have the ability to choose!

For them, it’s just about trying to survive, but for us, it’s about trying to live a better life!

It was always in a different direction. Whether it was love or not, the Fourth Lady never expected it. But when it came, her panic had subsided and she chose to accept it all!

If she didn't have it in the future, she wouldn't regret it. At least she had it before. After all, she and Honghui both needed the Fourth Master's "true love". As for herself, she...

Who can say that what she said is false?

There is never any absolute truth or falsehood.

Stories are being played out everywhere and changing all the time. Wen Yao always enjoys eating melons, but sometimes she feels a little sad.

It’s not that pregnancy causes a poor appetite. She has a good appetite and never vomits. As for sour and spicy food?

Very good, she likes to eat them all, even if they are bitter, she likes to eat them very much, as if she has no sense of taste!

If Xiaoxia and the others hadn't stopped her, Wen Yao's fetus would definitely be too large. Fortunately, Xiaoxia and the others had the imperial physician, and Yinzhen would send the genius doctor's wife to the palace from time to time to check her pulse.

As for the sadness she mentioned, it was when she was eating melons. Some women suffer from birth to death, and they try to find joy in suffering. But that joy seems endlessly frustrating to Wen Yao, but it is already very satisfying to those women.

Wen Yao could occasionally see a few pictures, and even saw the hideous and painful expressions of real little girls with bound feet.

She also raised this matter, and the situation was alleviated on the surface, but what should be done was still there, and as for those harsh measures, they were not actually implemented after all.

Just starting from the capital, step by step. Wen Yao actually didn't quite understand why Kangxi was so soft. Wasn't he a very tough emperor?

Can they even keep suppressing the Han people?

Why couldn't the Aisin-Gioro family get rid of even such a small practice as foot binding?

Yinzhen told her that this was no small matter, it was a drastic eradication of Han customs. Foot binding had been around since the Ming Dynasty, and it was the best way for Han people to express their dissatisfaction with the Manchus, and it was also the last thing they could stick to!

Once this is abolished, it will be no different from when all the current hairstyles were implemented, and there may even be greater rebellion.

The policy can only be implemented step by step, without being tough, but families with girls with bound feet will not be allowed to serve as officials in Beijing.

Wen Yao couldn't help, but she could make a request in her own shop. In the future, when recruiting short-term or temporary long-term workers, women should not bind their feet, and men's families should not bind the feet of women.

This is what Wen Yao can do, although it is very small.

Time passed slowly, and when Wen Yao was four months old, Yinzhen got married. On the second day of the wedding, Wen Yao, Yinzhen, and Yinzhen's family moved out of the palace and into their own Beile Mansion.

After all, Yinzhen and Yin? had been promoted from Beizi to Beile. As for why, it was of course because of the glass recipe. Yin? simply followed Yinzhen and worked together with him, so he was promoted together.

Wen Yao began to clean out people and brought in people she needed from the second day after she moved into the mansion. Except for the emperor and Concubine Yi's people, all people from other forces were cleared out of the mansion!

Including those from princes, no matter who they belong to, get rid of them all!

Of course they were not killed, but those who could be driven out were driven out, and those who could not be driven out were returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was very simple.

All in all, it took a month for Wen Yao to turn the entire mansion into an impregnable fortress.

In the main courtyard, Wen Yao looked at the Eighth Lady who came to visit. After all, the two families were neighbors. Although they were not right next to each other, they were indeed adjacent.

"Ninth brother's wife has been making a big fuss over the past month, either driving those servants out of the mansion or sending them back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Aren't you afraid that some people will say that you, the concubine, are unkind?" Although Eighth Concubine knew very well what Wen Yao was doing, this was also what she had always wanted to do but had not dared to do, so she could only sulk. Now seeing Wen Yao doing this and not stopping, she couldn't help but come over.

The reason why the Eighth Lady didn't want to come over was that when she saw the big belly, she would be very angry. She was angry at herself, angry and sour. She was afraid that she would not be able to control the jealousy in her heart, and she was also afraid that she would be provoked and could not control herself anymore. So, if she could not come, she would not come, and if she could not see, she would not see. In this way, she would not hurt Wen Yao's belly!
