The Reborn Wife is Farming

There are quite a few concubines who have the same idea as Concubine Zhao. If the prince delays knowing about his personnel until he is sixteen years old, wouldn't he have to be sixteen or seventeen before accepting his side concubine?

But at this age, you can marry a concubine.

The concubines in the harem except the empress are all from small families, and their family background cannot match that of the prince. Even if they are the prince's biological mother, it is impossible for the son to marry his niece as the main concubine, so we can only place our hopes on the side concubine.

And she is the side concubine who can give birth to the eldest son.

Because of the abolition of the vassal system before, the concubines in the harem didn't treat Prince Rong's family in various ways. Hearing that the source of this incident was also the palace, they panicked.

But everyone is not as obvious as Concubine Zhao. Although they also expressed dissent when they went to greet the queen, their faces are not as ugly as Concubine Zhao.

Li Jinghua said solemnly: "This is the rule of my Daqi royal family. It was determined by me and the emperor after careful consideration."

The faces of the concubines changed, they didn't expect the queen to be so strong in this matter.

Concubine Zhao opened her mouth to question, when she caught sight of Concubine Xu and the others bowing their heads from the corner of her eyes, her mind changed and she immediately closed her mouth.

Why am I always in the lead?

The benefits are not for me, but there are a lot of disadvantages.

Concubine Zhao closed her mouth and lowered her head.

The queen raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw this, but the anger at the beginning subsided a little.

After everyone left, she sighed with Wen Cui, "Concubine Zhao is so smart."

Wen Cui thought of Concubine Zhao's character, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't last long, and the second prince will still suffer."

Li Jinghua was noncommittal, "The emperor treats the princes equally, how can it be so hard?" What she cared about was the looks of the concubines just now, they were still respectful to her, I'm afraid it was all on A Ling's head.

Thinking of Qi Haoran's hatred some time ago, the queen couldn't help sighing, "Prince Rong and A Ling have offended people, I'm afraid they don't know it."

Wen Cui smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, in the heart of the emperor, all the concubines in the harem combined are not as important as the prince and princess."

"That being said, villains are hard to guard against, not to mention these people are still the emperor's bedside people, and they have sons..." Li Jinghua sighed: "I'm worried about the future."

Even if the emperor and Qi Haoran can continue to be brothers, but what about him in a hundred years?

As long as these concubines say a few more words to their sons, even if the princes combined cannot shake Qi Haoran's status, there must be a lot of troubles. When the time comes, who knows what will happen?

In the final analysis, this matter was still their negligence. If they had communicated well in advance, and the abolition of the vassal system was brought up by others, or directly by the emperor, so many troubles would be avoided.

But money is hard to buy, I knew it earlier.

Li Jinghua could only worry in her heart.

These actions of the palace are not big, because Qi Xiuyuan has a strong control over the palace, as long as he doesn't want the news from the harem to spread, no one can pass the news to the outside.

Therefore, people outside the royal rules set by him and Li Jinghua have never been aware of it. When the new year is approaching, the crown prince presides over palace banquets and often appears in front of the ministers. Everyone is surprised that the crown prince has grown up. up.

However, the prince not only does not have a side concubine, but even a concubine, which is obviously abnormal in the royal family that has always married early.

Those who were worried asked the officials of the East Palace, and only then did they know that the prince is so old that he doesn't even have a housemate, which means that the prince is so old but still doesn't know about personnel.

All the ministers looked at the prince with some concern. Through the imperial study room to discuss the state affairs, several ministers vaguely mentioned to the emperor that the prince should talk about marriage.

Before talking about marriage, someone must teach the prince about personnel affairs, which is also a vague reminder.

Who knows that the emperor smiled when he heard this, and said clearly: "My children of the Qi family should not marry early. I have agreed with the empress that no prince should marry under the age of seventeen."

"Your Majesty, before all the princes marry their main concubines, they can first accept side concubines and several concubines. How about arranging side concubines for His Royal Highness?" Yan Du suggested.

Qi Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said: "That is the rule of the royal family of the previous dynasty, why should I, Da Qi, abide by the palace rules of the previous dynasty?"

There was a silence in the imperial study room. Does the emperor mean that the rules of the royal family have to be changed?

Qi Xiuyuan said: "My Daqi imperial family has no rule of accepting a side concubine before marrying a main concubine. Since the first wife is a married wife, naturally there is no reason to establish a concubine first."

What about the concubine?

The ministers looked at Qi Xiuyuan, this one doesn't need any status, you can't let the princes be chickens before they get married, right?

Qi Xiuyuan smiled, and began to talk about the way of keeping in good health, implicitly expressing that he is an emperor who pays attention to keeping in good health, and hopes that his children and grandchildren will do the same, so for the sake of health, the princes will arrange concubines by the court after they are seventeen years old, and then Talk about getting married.

So you are right, the prince is really a chicken before the age of seventeen.

Ministers: "..."

Some people want to object, this is not a private matter of the royal family, the prince only gets married after the age of seventeen, so it must be too late to have a child, this is not a good thing for Da Qi.

Qi Xiuyuan stopped their mouths with only one sentence of emotion, "According to their life, their days are considered good. Back then, I didn't get married until I was twenty-one, and Prince Rong didn't marry Princess Rong until eighteen. of."

What else can everyone say, even the founding emperor and Prince Rong only got married at that age, how big of a face do they have to ask the princes to get married early?

That's it.

Qi Xiuyuan took advantage of the opportunity and mentioned that the age limit for marriage in the law should be amended. The age limit for women was raised from thirteen to fifteen, and the upper limit was also raised to twenty.

The ministers looked at each other, because the age of the prince's marriage was postponed first, and everyone's reaction to this law was not very big at this time, and it was passed after a little discussion.

Xiaobao was very happy when he heard about it, and said to his father, "Little Xiong and I thought about going to the discount after the new year, but I didn't expect that the father would solve it with just a word."

Qi Xiuyuan was a little complacent, "It's about rising first and then suppressing it. If I mention this first, they will definitely have to argue. It's not bad if I can raise my age by one year in the end, but because I mentioned your matter first, compared , they will relax about it. Even if this incident is over, you and Xiao Xiong don’t always focus on this, after the Chinese New Year, you go out to practice, and I will find a place for you.”

Little Treasure's eyes lit up, and he demanded: "Father, I'm going to the Northland! Little Xiong said that the Northland is magnificent, and I haven't been there yet."

Qi Xiuyuan thought for a moment, nodded slowly and said: "That's fine, there is a large piece of lost soil that has just been taken back. The hearts of the people must not be settled yet, so you can go and have a look."

Xiao Bao was happy, "Will Little Bear go with me too?"

Qi Xiuyuan shook his head, "Little Xiong is going to the army, he is different from you, and the place he goes to is naturally different."

Xiaobao was disappointed for a moment, but it was quickly covered up by the excitement of going out of Beijing.

"Hurry up and prepare the palace banquet. This is the first palace banquet after the victory. It will be a big one. There will be envoys from various countries to congratulate you. You are the prince, so don't mess it up."
