Chapter 453: The World of Female Dominance 2
Ruhua was a talkative person, so Luo Xinxin took the opportunity to inquire about a lot of situations in this world. As expected, she was right. The emperor was a tyrant, and the princess was also a loser. Both mother and daughter had the same character, and they both listened to the words of the imperial teacher and would not listen to a word of the court officials' advice.
The people complained bitterly, and some even rose up in rebellion, but they were all suppressed by King Li.
When Ruhua mentioned King Li, her face was full of admiration and love, and there were little stars in her eyes. It was obvious that she was an admirer of King Li. Luo Xinxin asked the waiter to bring another pot of good tea and a few plates of delicious snacks, and she would pay the bill.
Ruhua was particularly pleased with her generosity, and she took the initiative to talk about King Li without being asked.
Prince Li's mother was born into a military family. The Shen family had been stationed on the frontier for generations, and women had died on the battlefield in every generation. The family was loyal and brave, and had a very high prestige among the people. The emperor was afraid of the Shen family, so he took Prince Li's mother into the palace. Although she was named a noble concubine, she was not favored.
The imperial concubine gave birth to only one daughter, Prince Li, and was not favored by the emperor. When Prince Li was five years old, he even scolded her for her violent temper and incapability to serve in important positions. From then on, Prince Li's reputation for brutality and murder spread.
"At the age of sixteen, King Li led his troops to raid the enemy camp and took the head of the enemy prince. He became famous in one battle and was invincible. He is worthy of being called the God of War!"
Ruhua's eyes became obsessed and her voice became delicate. It was obvious that she was a little fan of King Li.
"How is the princess?"
Luo Xinxin poured him a full cup of tea and moved the snacks in front of him.
Ruhua raised her thick orchid finger, picked up a piece of pea yellow and put it into her mouth. Before she swallowed it, she put another piece in. He ate almost all the snacks by himself, and not a pound of fat on his body was gained in vain.
After eating five pieces of pea yellow and drinking a cup of tea, Ruhua stopped and showed great disdain for the princess.
"Those young men who are rushed into the palace must first be examined by the Crown Princess. After she has selected them, they are presented to the palace for the Emperor to enjoy."
Luo Xinxin understood that this princess was also unpopular. The emperor and the princess were wary of King Li, but they couldn't do without her. If she were King Li, she would simply kill the emperor and the princess and become the emperor herself. How cool!
However, ancient people thought differently. Loyalty came first. If King Li rebelled, he would not have the right reasons and the court officials would probably not support him.
For example, Zhu Di was definitely a great ruler and more suitable to be the emperor than Jianwen. However, because he came to the throne illegitimately, Zhu Di worked diligently all his life, and even at an old age, he still led troops to war, just to prove that he was a good emperor. I guess when he died, he would ask Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, how is my son inferior to Jianwen?"
After finishing the snacks on the table, Luo Xinxin asked the waiter to bring a few more plates. Ruhua was very happy to eat, but he didn't want to eat for nothing. He said kindly: "My wife knows the steward of the princess's mansion. While your husband has not been seen by the princess, you can spend some money to redeem him."
Luo Xinxin refused. Money that shouldn't be spent should never be spent.
Ruhua curled her lips, thinking that she was tired of her husband and was eager for him to enter the palace and find a handsome husband.
It turns out that all women in the world are the same. They get bored with the old and love the new. They fall in love with every man they meet.
Luo Xinxin tactfully inquired about how the men here gave birth to children, on the grounds that Li Rong had been married for many years but had not been able to get pregnant.
Ruhua suddenly realized, no wonder he was not anxious at all, it turned out that he was a stone man who couldn't lay eggs. She didn't divorce him for so many years, which showed that she was loyal.
"Dr. Luo in the east of the city specializes in men's health. It was extremely difficult for me to conceive my first child. Dr. Luo prescribed five pills, and I got pregnant after taking them."
Ruhua enthusiastically introduced Dr. Luo, who is good at treating male infertility. Luo Xinxin had a strange feeling. Could this Dr. Luo be her ancestor?
"Did you have morning sickness when you were pregnant?" she asked curiously.
"Yes, I vomited the most during the first three months. I couldn't eat anything except pickled cucumbers. Old people say sour boys, spicy girls. Well, it turns out the eldest is a boy. Fortunately, the second and third are girls. My wife is very happy."
Ruhua covered her mouth shyly and smiled, looking very proud. Although he was not handsome, he might give birth to a daughter, and his wife would be very satisfied with him.
Luo Xinxin's mouth twitched. A man can get pregnant and still have morning sickness. It's really a magical place.
After chatting with Ruhua for a long time and finding out almost everything about the world, Ruhua ate and drank her fill, packed up the remaining snacks, and left reluctantly.
When paying the bill, Luo Xinxin remembered that she had not exchanged her currency for silver, so she could only take out a small piece of gold to pay the bill. This scared the waiter, who took the gold and went to find the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper weighed the gold and found a lot of silver and copper coins. Luo Xinxin also asked the shopkeeper about the largest pawnshop in the capital, as she wanted to exchange some silver.
The pawnshop was not far from the teahouse, and Luo Xinxin found it quickly. She took out a glass goblet that she had bought for 9.93 yuan.
When the pawnshop owner saw the crystal clear glass cup, his eyes widened. This was the legendary luminous cup!
"How much can you get if you die?" Luo Xinxin asked.
"Ten taels."
The shopkeeper thought she didn't understand, but he didn't know that Luo Xinxin had a listening card and had already heard his thoughts.
This luminous cup is crystal clear and better than the ones in the palace. It is worth at least ten thousand taels of silver.
"Six thousand taels, you can sell it for at least ten thousand taels, I don't want much."
Luo Xinxin exposed the shopkeeper's cards. The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, but did not bargain any more. He would take the six thousand taels and make another four thousand taels. Not a fool would refuse this deal.
The shopkeeper gave her twelve silver notes, each worth five hundred taels. After the payment was made, Luo Xinxin left in style and went to the silver shop to exchange a silver note for silver ingots worth fifty taels each, a total of ten. She put all of them into her space, then went to the best inn in the capital, booked a room in the upper room, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Compared to Luo Xinxin's leisurely and happy life, Li Rong's life was not so easy. The young men he captured this time were sent directly to the palace without going through the princess, for the emperor to personally review.
The emperor fell in love with Li Rong at first sight. After all, among a group of bearded men, he was like an angel fallen into the world, with fair skin, handsome face, tall figure, and cleanliness. He was powerful but charming, masculine but handsome, which made the emperor stare at him.
"Beauty, what a rare beauty! Let this beauty sleep with me tonight!"
The old emperor hadn't played cuckold for a long time, but when he saw Li Rong, he was rarely moved by love and had him taken away to bathe and change clothes, waiting for her favor.
The other big men who were captured all breathed a sigh of relief, as their innocence and lives were saved.
They looked at Li Rong with sympathy, as if they were looking at a dying person.
Li Rong was taken to bathe and change clothes. The people who served him were all thin palace servants, with an average height of less than 1.6 meters. They were thin and short, and not very strong. It took two people to carry a bucket of water.
After taking a fragrant flower petal bath and changing into a soft gauze skirt, Li Rong was sent to the emperor's bedroom to serve him.
