General Longhu hunched over and felt he couldn't breathe.

[I am really curious, why do some parents always think that their children must get married and have children in this life? ]

The old emperor was puzzled: Can a person’s life be complete if he cannot get married and have children?

[Parents force their sons to get married in order to continue the family line.]

[Forcing my daughter to get married is to get rid of the burden as soon as possible. 】

Shen Zhiyi let out a breath of foul air in frustration.

All the civil and military officials in the court subconsciously refuted Shen Zhiyi's words.

Their daughter is also their child, so why is she being thrown away as a burden?

nonsense!

[Humph, those parents will definitely not admit it. ]

The civil and military officials in the court, who instinctively refuted, fell silent.

The old emperor, who had climbed from the bottom to the position of emperor today, knew Shen Zhiyi's words too well.

Not to mention the people at the top of the social pyramid, let’s just talk about the ordinary people at the bottom. The worse the family conditions are, the earlier their daughters will get married off.

Bride price, dowry...

These are like a transaction in the lower class society.

At the top level, it is a display of the heritage and strength of the two companies, and is essentially a transaction.

In a context where blind marriages are the mainstream, not many couples are together because of love.

The old emperor and the empress also got married blindly, and their first meeting was at the wedding banquet.

Everyone is used to this way of doing things and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.

Because of the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, the parties involved in the marriage are left on the margins.

The old emperor began to think.

Shen Zhiyi's idea is too radical and unacceptable.

But the tragedy of General Longhu's daughter is still vivid in my mind.

This is a headache.

[Women in this era have too few choices. It seems that what I am doing now is not a bad thing...]
