Not long after, Yinzhen also learned that Zhu Tao's family had given birth to a son.
Yunrong was there at the time and overheard everything.
"Why are you now even interfering in the births of your subjects?"
Based on her understanding of Yinzhen, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would care about the family affairs of his subjects!
Yinzhen: "I sent someone to find Zhu Tao, but he went home to be with his wife when she gave birth. I was thinking about when to get the marriage law out. I also saw what Zhu Tao meant. There are no concubines or maids in the mansion. He can be used as a model in the future. I have to convey my will to the people below. I just don't like people whose private lives are chaotic and who waste their beauty."
Yunrong looked at Yinzhen and said, "You really know how to come up with ideas."
Yinzhen: "I think this is a good thing. Tomorrow I will give Zhu Tao an imperial edict praising his deep affection for his wife and giving him some rewards to express my thoughts."
Yunrong: As long as you're happy.
Yinzhen's imperial edict was not issued the next day, but was delivered by someone when Zhu Tao's child was celebrating his third-day birthday. The edict clearly expressed its meaning, praising Zhu Tao for being devoted to his wife, for having no troubles in the household, and specifically mentioning that Zhu Tao was diligent in his work, had no distractions, and that the household was very harmonious... and so on.
After a barrage of praise, Zhu Tao was completely bewildered. He didn't think he had done anything wrong, so why was the Emperor praising him? Looking at the envious and jealous eyes of the people around him, he felt confused but also grateful.
Who cares! Why not take a free gift?
Because of this rather "strange" reward, Zhu Tao became famous again. He first became famous because he became a member of the Ministry of Education, directly under the emperor's command. This official position was the envy of many. Now, because he took good care of his wife and kept the harem clean, the emperor seized the opportunity to praise him highly, which made him even more famous.
Yun Qing was in her postpartum confinement period. Her mother-in-law didn't go out for social events, and her sister-in-law didn't go out for social events either, since no one was taking care of her. So, although she knew that the emperor had issued an imperial decree on the day of her son's third-day celebration, she didn't know what the people in the capital thought.
It wasn't until her sister-in-law arrived that she realized she was the envy of all the women in the capital's inner quarters.
Looking at her sister-in-law, who was now the mistress of the house, Suochuoluo had an undeniable hint of envy in her eyes. Although Yunxi treated her well and gave her face, there were still maids in the backyard.
She was content at first, but people are afraid of comparisons. With her sister-in-law making comparisons, the difference immediately became apparent.
