Chapter 469: The logic is self-consistent
Kangxi suppressed his frustration and said, "Royal brother, you are right. I have also discovered this. Even women from small families today would not say such things. But it was the Tang Dynasty at that time, so maybe... it is possible!" Kangxi looked at Wen Yao, "Did Little Nine Lady think of the Tang Dynasty at that time and only then did she have such an idea?"
"Ah?" Wen Yao's train of thought was suddenly interrupted. Listening to Kangxi's words, [Hey! Yes, I adapted Liu Lianzi's Legend of Zhen Huan and made it into the Tang Dynasty. Women in the Tang Dynasty could go out at that time. At that time, women were the most free in the entire feudal dynasty. Hey...by accident, I also made it logically consistent! ]
"Your Majesty, actually I haven't thought so much about it. This book was not written by me. It was spread from the folks. Occasionally there would be some beauties and talented women, but perhaps the folks didn't care about these. Or perhaps the person who spread this story knew the Tang Dynasty, so this story came into being," Wen Yao replied calmly.
[This is someone else's original work, and I am adapting it based on the adaptation. I changed a lot of things. After all, I am adapting it based on a drama. But then again, I am very satisfied with it.] Wen Yao herself is quite satisfied, because there are many things in it that are worth discussing and pondering. No matter whether it is the women or the men, neither of them got what they wanted, and there is sadness everywhere.
Some are due to one’s own reasons, some are due to others, and more are caused by the times!
Wen Yao could not change the Qing Dynasty, nor did she think she had that power, but if she could make them think, improve the women's thinking a little bit, and make them dare to put their eyes on other things, Wen Yao would feel that she was very powerful!
She had never thought of letting women dare to leave the house, because if she did so, those women would probably be harmed by the rumors and would have no choice but to commit suicide!
In fact, the adaptation into the Tang Dynasty was also Wen Yao’s sincere hope that it would really be like the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately... it was not!
Kangxi smiled, and Concubine Yi said, "Xiao Jiu Fu Jin is just watching for fun. What does this child know? This child has always been simple-minded and kind to others. When she was harmed by others, she had to plead for others. Isn't the emperor the one who knows this best? Speaking of which, this play today is quite good. I saw that one of the women deliberately didn't get chosen, and I asked her brother to investigate suitable people and choose a husband. I think that no matter whether that person can get her husband's heart in this life, at least this life will be happy."
"What Concubine Yi said is right. Although the woman was a little bold, she did not do it. Instead, she asked her brother to do it. It did not harm the reputation of the women in the family. She chose the husband that suits her herself," Eighth Lady spoke at the right time. She also saw such a woman in it. She did not think that she was just an insignificant one. She thought that perhaps Ninth Brother's wife wanted them to see it.
The Fifth Prince did not say anything, but just glanced at the ladies following behind his mother. Many ladies also came to his ninth brother's birthday party. According to his mother, they were invited by his ninth brother's wife personally. He did not expect that his ninth brother's wife would be so popular!
Before, he thought that his ninth brother's wife just liked to have fun, but now it seems that there may be other intentions.
A lady from the royal family had her eyes flickering and looked at her daughter beside her. Seeing her daughter's sparkling eyes, the lady didn't say anything, but she made a decision in her heart.
The court officials and ladies also began to speak in low voices, and gradually the discussion broke out again at the banquet. This time, accompanied by the singing and dancing arranged by Wen Yao, the singing and dancing above and the various low discussions below, the whole banquet was extremely lively.
Kangxi did not stay long. After he left, the discussion became more intense and the voices became louder. Wen Yao and Concubine Yi took the lead in chatting with other wives. Concubine Hui and the others followed suit and began to sit closer to others, such as those from their own families.
There was a circle of servants watching around, and they were not allowed to leave the Imperial Garden. There were servants guarding each person, just in case anything happened.
Seeing that everyone above was like this, the wives of the royal family sat together in twos and threes, and the ladies of state finally sat closer to each other and began to discuss the play they had just watched, but in the end they all talked about the children of each family.
Some people agree and some don’t, some think it’s absolutely a pity, some think it’s totally bold and without rules, but life is different and everyone has their own rules.
Niuhulu Faka's sixth brother, Niuhulu Yinde, looked at his wife and said, "Zhongshengbao's child will also be selected. You should keep an eye on him when the time comes. Ask someone to check whether those people have concubines or cousins, and also check their family members. Prepare first. Our child should be able to pass the exam next year."
"It's too early to say that. Zhongshengbao is good-looking and is from our Niuhulu family. Master, there are so many people in the entire royal family who don't have many children. It would be best if you can exempt our child from the selection, but you only have one chance to be exempted," Yin De's wife Suochuoruo sighed, and a hint of darkness flashed across her eyes. That opportunity was for her daughter. Her daughter is one year younger than Zhongshengbao and will also be in the selection next year. "Wen Baoer will be fourteen next year."
Yin De looked at his wife. He understood what she meant. It had been agreed upon from the beginning. He did not hold a high official position and he was able to have this opportunity thanks to the favor of the Tenth Prince.
In fact, for a big family like theirs, if there is no chance to enter the palace, it is best to be exempted from the selection. If a marriage is granted, it is not certain which family the marriage will be to, and one does not know how old the husband is or what kind of descendants he has in his family!
However, if Yin De gave his family's exemption opportunity to the saints, his wife would naturally be unwilling. At that time, the family would naturally suffer from anger, because his only son was born from his wife's belly.
"Forget it then. You can check for our Wen Baoer first. Next year, I will report that our Wen Baoer will be exempted from the election," Yin De had made the decision and could not hesitate.
"Don't worry, Master. The child Zhongshengbao is a bit scheming and very patient. You know Master over the years. She is able to remain calm and has no resentment even if she is ignored. Even if she does, she will not show it. She is also suitable for..." Socho Luo leaned close to Yin De's ear and spoke in a low voice.
In fact, she was also very clear that as long as their children participated in the draft, they would probably stay. After all, there were only two of them from their family who were selected this time. There were also suitable ones from other families, but those who could be exempted from the selection were exempted. After all, who would want their daughter to be a concubine and go to a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones?
"Sixth brother, what are you and your sister-in-law whispering about? How did you hear something about the Saints?" Faka had already sat down. "Speaking of which, my eldest daughter has already found a boyfriend. I have to check it out when I go back this time."
