Chapter 695: Can’t Fight
Yunting has been ill since Erya became pregnant.
I'm really sick.
He began to have trouble sleeping, his hair was falling out, and he became thin...
For the first time, Erya regretted her decision.
Just as Yun Ting’s not wanting a child is “dictatorial”, in fact, it is almost the same if she wants a child.
The two of them are really the same.
We should have a good talk in advance to help Yun Ting resolve his worries.
But there is no regret medicine for this matter.
After some days, Yun Ting seemed to have adjusted himself.
He said to Arya, "Since you have decided to have this child, then we will have it."
At first, Arya thought he had figured it out and was happy.
But later I found out that it wasn’t.
Yun Ting was simply trying to comfort her because he didn't want her to suffer the pain of pregnancy and worry about his emotions at the same time.
However, Yun Ting still couldn't sleep all night.
Moreover, emotions may be hidden from others, but they really cannot be hidden from the person next to you.
Erya really had no choice.
"Yun Ting, I've made up my mind. I don't want this child anymore."
I can't let my husband die just to have a child.
They can just adopt a few later.
Yun Ting didn't even pretend to persuade him, and directly asked someone to call a doctor.
——He really couldn't take the risk of losing her.
The doctor couldn't believe his ears after hearing this.
In his decades-long medical career, there are only two types of people who want abortions:
One type is a prostitute; the other type is a woman who gets pregnant before marriage or has done something shameful.
Nothing else, really.
The poor cannot afford the medicine, and the rich believe that having many children means more blessings.
But since the sponsor has spoken, no matter how many questions I have in my mind, I have to swallow them.
However, when treating a noble person, self-protection is always the most important thing.
So the old doctor said it bluntly: abortion has risks.
Yun Ting: ???
He knew that giving birth could result in death, but no one told him that abortion could also result in death.
After hearing what the doctor said, Erya comforted Yunting, "In that case, it's God's will that we keep this child. And the doctor also said it's not as dangerous as you think. So, I promise you, whether it's a son or a daughter, we only want this one child."
well.
She still had eight months to carry the baby.
I don’t know how Yun Ting managed to survive these eight months.
Otherwise, she could find a midwife and let Yunting follow the midwife to wait at the door and deliver the baby.
Let him know that for most people, childbirth goes smoothly.
So, abortion couldn't be performed.
Yun Ting felt uneasy.
"No, Zhuozhuo, I want to write to Uncle Hu and ask him to come to Guangzhou Prefecture."
Erya said, "Calm down. Counting the dates, my eldest sister got pregnant three months earlier than us. Even if we want Uncle Hu to come, we have to wait until my eldest sister gives birth."
Besides, she can eat and sleep now, so even if she feels a little uncomfortable, she doesn't need a miracle doctor.
"I just don't know how my mother is doing now." Erya sighed.
"Your mother? Are you worried about her becoming an official in the imperial court?"
"Well, there has been no news."
"Then write a letter and ask." Yun Ting said, "You are in good health now, don't worry about it. Even if the sky falls, your father is still here."
——Until now, Yun Ting still finds it difficult to call him “father-in-law”, and always calls him “your dad” or “your dad”.
"What my mother and elder sister are going to do now is to challenge the thousand-year-old authority. I can't imagine how much resistance there will be." Erya sighed.
It just so happened that at this time, my eldest sister was pregnant.
With my mother's personality, she will definitely be at the forefront.
Erya’s guess was correct.
Lu Qiniang is now "debating with the scholars" in the court.
The Queen accompanied the Emperor to court, which caused a huge uproar, with ministers resigning every day.
The emperor was quite calm.
Who resigned?
OK.
Get out of here.
After nearly a month, although some people continued to write letters of opposition, the threats of resignation had stopped.
This is how the emperor and his court officials tested and pushed each other.
When the ministers realized that the emperor was determined, they dared not speak out.
But then, when the queen announced that she wanted to hold an imperial examination for women and allow them to serve as officials in the court, opposition voices reached a new climax.
At this time, the queen asked Lu Qiniang to come to the court to refute those old-fashioned people.
At first, Lu Qiniang subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Because she is not an official now, and has always been an ordinary citizen. Before she met Xiao Yan, the highest-ranking "official" she knew was the head of the village.
What can she and a group of important civil and military officials in the court say?
You can't just teach them how to raise pigs.
But after thinking about it, Lu Qiniang agreed.
She told Xiao Yan, "Since I've already promised the Queen and want to do something, this little difficulty now may not be much compared to the obstacles in the future."
If you can't even take the first step, what's next?
So today, Lu Qiniang dressed herself neatly, but only wore her old, half-worn home clothes, and came dressed like an ordinary woman in the market.
In the Golden Palace, civil and military officials stood on both sides, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Lu Qiniang stood in the center of the hall, out of place among the courtiers in purple robes and jade belts around her, but she straightened her back and calmly met those gazes that were either contemptuous, angry, or inquiring.
An old official with white hair and beard took the lead in protesting. Holding a jade tablet, he spoke in a resounding voice: "Lu! A hen crowing at dawn is a curse on the family! A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. The proper path for a woman is to support her husband, educate her children, and manage the household! You dare to dream of serving in the court alongside men? This is simply reversing yin and yang and defying human ethics! If this precedent is set, women all over the country will follow suit. Who will still be content with staying at home? If this continues, the country will be ruined!"
Lu Qiniang didn't get angry, but calmly asked, "Your Excellency, when you talk about 'righteousness' and 'human relations', are they natural principles or rules made by humans?"
The old minister was stunned for a moment, then rebuked: "Of course it is the teachings of the sages and the rules of etiquette!"
"Since the rules are made by humans, why can't they be changed? Thousands of years ago, people were still eating raw meat and drinking blood." Lu Qiniang said.
"That's a farfetched argument!" another minister jumped in. "Men and women are different, yin and yang are in order. This is the law of nature! Women are physically weak and mentally deficient, so they should be confined to the inner court. How can they mingle in the court and compete with men?"
"Weak in body and short of mind? Have all the women in the world ever competed with you in martial arts, or have they all taken the same imperial examination with you?" Lu Qiniang said, "That's perfect. All we want is an opportunity. How about you, sir, come out and compete first?"
She just didn't believe that this old guy could have his own supernatural powers.
When it comes to studying, it doesn't mean he can surpass Daya.
There was a great uproar in the court, with voices of opposition rising one after another, citing classics, and most of the arguments revolving around vague concepts of "rituals and laws", "yin and yang", and "order".
Although Lu Qinniang spoke in a simple manner, she was always able to find loopholes in the other party's words and refute them with the most practical examples, resulting in a stalemate for a while.
"Minister Wang." A familiar cold voice sounded.
