"People's hearts are complicated and it's hard to explain clearly." Yan Li said calmly, "There are other ways to embarrass women than men, and there are other ways to suppress women. There are also men and women."

Chu Qinqin sighed: "Fortunately, Xuan Xuan is big-hearted and doesn't care about these things and is not affected by rumors. Otherwise, wouldn't a woman's good life be wasted in the hands of such a bad person?"

Yan Li frowned: "She has a good attitude and is not affected by rumors. It does not mean that the harm of rumors does not exist."

Chu Qinqin was silent.

The harm does exist, but as women, what can they do?

This way is inherently unfair to women.

There is inappropriate behavior between men and women, and everyone is blaming the woman. If a woman is insulted and violated by 누깊, she will be hurt physically and mentally and have to bear the strange looks of everyone.

It is natural for men to have groups of wives and concubines. It is normal to go to flower houses, drink wine, and have a romantic night.

Any time a woman looks at a man's skin, or has any intimate contact with a man even under forced circumstances, she will be scolded as being immodest, and may even be forced to give her body to him.

Many things are obviously men's fault, but who would really blame men and punish men?

Concepts that have been held for thousands of years are not so easily changed.

Chu Qinqin knew in her heart that although the eldest princess's thunderous skills could make men restrain their behavior, the concept of male superiority and female inferiority had long been deeply ingrained, and together with the fusion of flesh and blood, it could not be overturned overnight.

"It is true that corrupt and outdated concepts cannot be changed in a short period of time. The openness and inclusiveness of the system such as that of Southern China is actually only relatively so. Their powerful men can still have three wives and concubines, and men can set foot in brothels and brothels openly, but women cannot. No." Yan Li seemed to understand what Chu Qinqin was thinking, "So it's impossible to wait completely. We can only get better little by little. If we are better than this year next year, it is already a success if we are better than now. "

Chu Qinqin nodded: "The eldest princess is right."

"I will go to the Xuan family to visit Xuan Xuan early tomorrow morning. You can come with me." Yan Li raised her eyes and said, "I am just taking a break and sitting together to drink tea."

"Yes." Chu Qinqin nodded and couldn't help but laugh, "Xuanxuan is probably going to be depressed during this period. I wish someone would go and see her."

The second prince's injury has not yet recovered. Although he brought it upon himself, as the murderer who stabbed the prince, Xuan Xuan was not in a good position to show off.

Who makes the difference between king and minister?

The emperor and the queen turned a blind eye because the second prince was wronged first. However, no matter what the reason was, assassinating the prince was basically a crime. There was nothing wrong with keeping a low profile.

One is injured and the other is recovering from illness.

No one can hold them accountable.

After the whole story of the Xuan family was explained clearly, Yan Li asked about Chu Qinqin's marriage: "Mrs. Chu didn't tell you about her marriage?"

Chu Qinqin was silent for a moment, with a slight blush on her pretty face: "My daughter's marriage may still need to be decided by the eldest princess."

"Me?" Yan Li raised her eyebrows slightly, a deep thought appearing on her face, "Who do you like?"

"The general named Qin from the eldest princess's residence."

Yan Li was surprised: "Qin Shiyuan?"

Chu Qinqin lowered her eyebrows and nodded: "Yes."

Yan Li was silent for a moment and told the truth: "If we just talk about marriage, I think Chen Qingfeng is more suitable for you than Qin Shiyuan."

Judging from the current situation in Jin State, Chu Qinqin's marriage is indeed a bit difficult to decide.

Mr. Chu occupies an important position in the court. He is a second-rank official in the court, so his status goes without saying.

Chu Qinqin is his legitimate daughter. The marriage should have been considered two years ago and she should have been selected from the many young masters of the Jin family with similar status and family background.

Or she is fully qualified to marry a prince as a concubine.

However, too many things have happened in the Jin Kingdom from a year ago to the present. Not only have things happened to the princes one after another, but the ministers of various factions supporting them are also more or less responsible.

At this time, it was not just Chu Qinqin, but all the ministers who remained neutral in the court or were loyal to the queen would find it difficult to get married if they had daughters and sons of marriageable age at home.

Because there are too many people involved, the originally suitable candidates have become inappropriate because of their positions.

Yan Li leaned on the brocade couch with a thoughtful expression on his face.

In fact, she didn't expect Chu Qinqin to like Qin Shiyuan, because the Chu family currently had very few candidates to choose from, and those who were too low would be disdainful to them.

Those who are too high are either in decline or have no marriageable men.

The Xuan family's Xuan Nanfeng is suitable, but since ancient times civil and military officials did not get married.

The Chu family is the family of important ministers who hold real power in the court, while the Xuan family is the family of generals who hold military power. Once the civil and military parties marry, which emperor can guarantee that they will always be suppressed?

But Qin Shiyuan was not at odds with the Xuan family.

He was from the eldest princess's palace, with only a thousand soldiers and horses under his command, and he obeyed Yan Li's orders. Qin Shiyuan was a follower from the Mu Kingdom and had no powerful background in the Jin Kingdom.

If Chu Qinqin marries Qin Shiyuan, it will firstly declare that the Chu family is always loyal to the eldest princess, and secondly, it will also make people feel at ease.

Yan Li has a clear mind, how could he not think of this?

"General Chen is indeed more suitable." Chu Qinqin nodded and objectively evaluated Chen Qingfeng and Qin Shiyuan, "General Chen is a native of Jin after all. He has a greater sense of belonging to Jin than General Qin, and he has an elegant appearance. , also has a gentle personality, but the courtier thinks General Qin is more masculine.”

Yan Li raised his eyes slightly: "Have you thought about it carefully?"

"General Qin came to Jin alone, and the population is simple. If I can marry him, there will be no complicated mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship in the future, and I don't have to abide by too many inner house rules." Chu Qinqin seemed to have thought about the advantages and disadvantages clearly. At this moment, her tone was light and she had a little smile on her face, "I really hate those complicated inner house relationships."

"What does Lord Chu say?"

"Father actually prefers General Chen." Chu Qinqin sighed, "He is the head of the family and an official in the court, so he naturally pays more attention to the family and future of his future son-in-law."

Yan Li didn't say anything.

Chen Qingfeng, Qin Shiyuan and Yang Yi have not yet married. Now that Jin has settled down, it is time for them to start a family and build a career.

But marriage requires mutual consent.

Yan Li said: "I will ask Qin Shiyuan for you. If he is willing, I will ask him to choose an auspicious day to go to the Chu family to propose marriage."

"Thank you, Princess." Chu Qinqin stood up and saluted Yan Li with a little shyness of a girl. "If he is not willing, it will be as if I have never mentioned this matter."
