"It must be because you are so capable and resourceful that you have trained me to be so focused."
Chu Li's mouth opened wide.
ah?
Can you still say that?
Chu Dichi said sternly, "When the time comes, I wonder how many women will envy you. You are rich, powerful, and influential. How is that not better than you hiding in Jiangnan and sneaking around now?"
"More importantly, you don't have to have children."
The world today is extremely harsh on women.
Women bear the heavy responsibility of inheritance, but have an extremely unfair status.
Women are supposed to take care of their husbands and children, have children and carry on the family line. However, this world restricts women and does not allow them to show their faces in public. Even speaking to a strange man may lead to rumors.
It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
If a woman's innocence is doubted, she will be criticized by everyone.
"I heard that in folk marriages, a woman must give birth to a son in order to inherit the family line. If she gives birth to girls in succession, she will be insulted and driven away by her in-laws and husband."
"I have no parents above me, and no worries from my parents-in-law."
"Besides, giving birth is extremely painful, and it's like taking one foot into the gates of hell. If you're not careful, you could lose your life. I won't let you take such a risk."
Chu Dichi held her little hand and used the most homely words to make a promise that no one in the world could fulfill.
Chu Li was very clear-headed:
"Isn't it because you can't have children that you don't want to have them?"
The man remained calm and said, "I can give birth. Bai Jinyi has developed an antidote. I can give birth after taking the antidote. But my Xiaojiu is still a child. I can't bear to see you suffer like this."
Chu Li bit her lower lip lightly and looked at him half-believingly and half-doubtingly.
really?
Hearing him say that, it seems pretty good?
"You can't possibly never have children in your life, right? Who will inherit the huge estate of the Prince Regent?"
"It's not difficult to have a child. If you like children, we can adopt one," he thought for half a second, "how about adopting the son of the King Xian?"
"ah?"
Hold the eighth brother’s baby?
"Will he agree to this?"
Besides, the eighth prince has not yet married, and he doesn't have any palace maids around him. Given his playful nature, it's unknown how many years it will take for him to get the hang of things.
How long will it take for him to get married and have children?
"Why not?" Chu Di said slowly, "From childhood to adulthood, you have been so good to him, playing with him, protecting him, making him a king and giving him fiefdom, and giving him the supreme status and honor."
"As the saying goes, we raise soldiers for a lifetime and use them for a moment. It's time for him to repay us."
Chu Li couldn't help laughing when he thought about it.
The eighth prince’s son must be like him, a chubby little crybaby who is afraid of ghosts!
And she likes children.
Chu Dichi's deep eyes observed the changes on her face, his thin lips raised slightly, and he patted her waist with his big hand: "Pick up the rod, I will catch some fish for you to eat."
"oh!"
-
“A-choo!”
Far away in the imperial capital, Chu Aotian, who was reading memorials in the main hall, suddenly sneezed, and a shudder ran through his body, causing him to tremble.
What's going on?
Why am I still shivering in this June weather?
Could it be that...
The black chicken and wolfberry tonic soup that mother made this morning was not cooked through?
Chu Aotian rubbed his nose and just picked up the next memorial when a soldier came in from outside the palace, exhausted and hurried over a hundred miles to report:
"Urgent news!"
"Urgent news!"
Chu Aotian looked up, "When did you become so panicked?"
"Your Highness, Prince Xian, urgent news from Mohuai Prefecture!"
"Here."
Chu Aotian tore open the secret letter and his expression changed suddenly when he saw the contents inside.
The twenty-eight cities in the three states of Mohuai were originally territories allocated to the Nanman by the regent. However, a prince of the former dynasty emerged and proclaimed himself king in Mohuai state.
More importantly, this prince of the previous dynasty is Chu Yeli!
"Fifth brother? He occupied the three states of Mo and Huai and declared himself king?"
Isn't this going to split up the Chu State?
How could the fifth brother be the crown prince of the previous dynasty?
Oh my God!
Now the internal strife of the Chu regime has not been resolved, and great changes have taken place in Mohuai. A prince from the previous dynasty has appeared and wants to split the Chu regime. How can he handle such a big thing?
I'm afraid there will be a war!
"Someone! Go and invite the emperor's uncle back! Go and invite the emperor's uncle back!"
-
Mo Huai.
Ever since the Nanman army stationed there, the people of the twenty-eight cities in the three states of Mohuai have been worried and loyal to Chu. But two days ago, a man who claimed to be the prince of the previous dynasty stood up.
All the older people know that more than 20 years ago, the State of Chu destroyed Dongling and developed the current State of Chu.
It would be reasonable to say that there are still orphans from the previous dynasty.
The appearance of the former prince calmed the people:
He came to restore his country, not to massacre the people.
The State of Chu destroyed Dongling and killed all the royal bloodlines of the previous dynasty. His act of revenge was completely reasonable and just.
When the news came out, the people split into two groups.
A group of people believed that they were the people of Chu.
Another group of people believed that Chu State destroyed Dongling with cruel means and killed all the royal family members. How could the Prince of Dongling not hate it? Revenge is a completely understandable move.
Let’s see who will win and who will lose in the battle between Da Chu and the former Dongling Dynasty.
"Princess, in the past two days, the people of Da Chu have become much friendlier to us." General Zhang Batian looked at the results of the past few days with joy.
Tuoba Mingyue curled her lips:
"Continue to extend favors in the name of the Crown Prince of Dongling, help the people of Da Chu, and win their hearts."
"yes!"
She went down the city wall and returned to the provincial capital. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw the man sitting under the grape vine trellis, looking at the woman in front of him with lazy and contented eyes.
With his chin in his hands and his body tilted to one side, he stared at it intently from every angle and from all sides.
The woman was wearing men's clothes and had her hair tied up. Her face was 80% similar to Chu Li.
Sitting there, motionless, like a painting.
Seeing Tuoba Mingyue coming, the woman immediately stood up and said, "Greetings, Princess."
Chu Yeli's expression suddenly became gloomy, completely different from the gentle one just now. In an instant, he seemed to fall into the abyss, so sinister that he could eat people:
"shut your mouth!"
When she spoke, she was no longer like herself.
"If you dare to open your mouth again, I will cut off your tongue!"
