Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Empress Changsun found Li Shimin in the imperial study.

After Changsun Wuji and the others got the essence of the law from Li Shimin, they also became interested.

Taking advantage of Li Shimin's presence, the basic principles of the laws of the Tang Dynasty were determined.

It wasn't until Li Shimin confirmed that the three of them left in dismay.

Just as Li Shimin rubbed his swollen temples, the little eunuch beside him reported that Empress Changsun had arrived.

Thinking of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin felt sweet for a while.

"Guanyin maidservant, why did you remember my imperial study? Now that you are pregnant and just recovering from a serious illness, you have to rest quietly."

Li Shimin said with concern.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is fine. I read in the book that pregnant women still need some exercise, and they still need to keep exercising regularly."

Empress Changsun said this very firmly, and the words were full of spirits.

Li Shimin is very familiar with the queen's expression now.

Isn't this the same as facing Changsun Wuji and the three of them just now.

Immediately, Li Shimin felt a sense of vigilance, and he said, "Guanyin maidservant, quickly tell me what is the important reason for you to come to me?"

Empress Changsun was also surprised. Although she and Li Shimin had been married for many years, they had a tacit understanding with each other.

But there are not many times when Li Shimin can see through his big moves at a glance.

Although Empress Zhangsun failed to pretend to be X, she felt that as long as Li Shimin read her book and heard her own thoughts, she would be shocked by her thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I just got a rare book from Concubine Yin's younger sister, and I want to promote this book!"

After finishing speaking, Empress Changsun handed the book to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin heard that it was from Concubine Yin, he became somewhat interested, took a look, and saw the words "Health Care During Pregnancy" written on it.

Immediately, Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Guanyin servant girl, if you want to promote it, just promote it."

"This book was collected by Concubine Yin because she was pregnant? You can also communicate with Guanyin servant girl about this. You have more experience in this matter."

Hearing Li Shimin's laughter, Empress Changsun blushed all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, Sister Concubine Yin said that this book was presented by the King of Chu. The concubine also read it. The content is really comprehensive. The concubine can benefit a lot just by reading it a little."

Hearing that Li You took out this book, Li Shimin's departure attracted attention.

He read a few more pages carefully.

However, at this time, men have to avoid the matter of women giving birth.

So although Li Shimin wanted to see where the magic of this book was, he still couldn't figure it out after reading it for a long time.

"Guanyin maidservant, is this book really so miraculous?"

Empress Changsun naturally knew that Li Shimin didn't understand these things, so she nodded quickly and said, "This book is very good. Your content is practical and not troublesome, so I want to promote it."

"The concubine believes that if women all over the world can follow the content of this book, so many people will not die after giving birth!"

Although Li Shimin didn't understand the mystery, he also knew that when a woman conceived and gave birth, it was a gate of hell.

If the risk of death can be reduced, the time for Datang to recuperate will undoubtedly be shortened a lot.

"Since the Avalokitesvara maidservant agrees, I will hand it over to the household department tomorrow, and let them transcribe it and distribute it to various state capitals!"

Since Empress Changsun has already spoken about this matter, even though the content of the book is extremely ordinary, Li Shimin does not intend to disobey the empress' temperament.

Although he doesn't quite understand the importance of health care during pregnancy, he also knows that a pregnant woman should follow her.

However, Empress Changsun shook her head after listening to it and said, "Your Majesty, this book is all about women's pregnancy. Do you think the Ministry of Household Affairs can really implement it effectively?"

Empress Changsun's worries were not without reason.

In this era, although the defense between men and women was not as good as in the Ming and Qing dynasties when Cheng-Zhu Confucianism prevailed, men basically didn't ask women about giving birth.

Generally speaking, if a pregnant woman has any discomfort, she just finds some experienced women to help. If there is no big problem, even a doctor will not ask for it.

Therefore, it is very difficult for the Ministry of Household Affairs to enforce this book.

Li Shimin could understand the key point of this matter after thinking about it for a while, and when he heard Empress Changsun ask this question, he naturally understood that the Empress already had an idea.

"Guanyin servant girl, based on what you see, what should I do?"

Empress Changsun smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, it will be Chenqie's birthday in two months. Chenqie wants to invite all wives of rank four or above to the banquet on her birthday, and I will ask all sisters to promote this book together with me." Strange book."

"Wife?"

Hearing this word, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Li Shimin's mouth.

The word life woman has existed since ancient times, but it was in the Tang Dynasty that it really formed a system.

If the head of the courtiers is the emperor Li Shimin, then the head of the courtiers is the queen.

The concubines in the court are called inner wives, and the wives and mothers of outer court officials are called outer wives.

In the harem, the queen is the head, and the queen has no rank.

After that came the four concubines of the first grade, the noble concubine, the Shu concubine, the de concubine, and the virtuous concubine.

For example, the current head of the four concubines is Wei Guifei, Concubine Wei, and Concubine Yang, the mother of King Li Ke of Shu, and Concubine Yin, the mother of King Li You of Chu, are also one of the four concubines.

After the four concubines are the nine concubines of the second rank, namely Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong and Chongyuan.

In the second year when Tang Gaozong Li Zhi brought Wu Meiniang back from Ganye Temple, Zhaoyi named her the head of the second rank.

Later, in order to highlight Wu Meiniang's special status, Li Zhi specially set the title of concubine Chen to show that although she is not a queen, she is superior to the special status of the other four concubines.

But then prime ministers Han Yuan and Lai Ji opposed it.In the end, Wu Meiniang failed to get the title of Concubine Chen.

However, it can be seen that the rank of doomed women was strict at that time.

Under the nine concubines is the 27th wife.

The 27 people were further divided into three grades, among which nine Jieyu people were classified as the third grade, nine beauties were classified as the fourth grade, and nine talented people were classified as the fifth grade.

Among them, Wu Meiniang was actually named a talented person just after entering the palace, which shows her status.

Of course, there are 81 imperial wives after Cairen, namely Baolin 27 are the sixth rank, 27 imperial daughters are the seventh rank, and Cainu 27 are the eighth rank.

These 120 six concubines are the orderly women system of the harem of the Tang Dynasty.

But at this moment, the married woman mentioned by Empress Changsun actually refers to foreign married women, and they are often called "Mrs. Gao Ming" among the people.

In the Tang Dynasty, the first rank was designated as the wife of the country, the third rank and above was the county wife, the fourth rank was the county lord, and the fifth rank was the county lord.

This time, Empress Changsun was going to gather all wives of the fourth rank and above in Chang'an, so she invited almost all the wives of high officials in the world into the palace.

After hearing the suggestion here, Li Shimin applauded immediately.

"This is the first birthday of Avalokitesvara's maidservant becoming a queen. Naturally, the whole world should celebrate together, and let's all be lively together!"

Seeing Li Shimin's playful smile, Empress Changsun suddenly seemed to remember something.

Her complexion changed in an instant, and she straightened her face and said: "Your Majesty, this concubine is going to do a big thing for the future of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty must remember not to mess around."
