When Xiao Qiushi was four years old and starting her education, good news finally came from the palace: a young lady in the palace was pregnant.
After hearing the news, Song Sanniang took her husband into the palace.
After the waiter beside her had poured the tea and left, she almost couldn't wait to speak.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty is finally going to be a mother. It's really not easy. I thought I would have to wait a few years before hearing the good news."
"Because I think it's time to prepare myself for the reserve. I don't want to work myself to death. The Dawu Dynasty is so big, I want to go and see it."
Gongyi Qingshu, who was sitting aside and listening quietly, was smiling at first, but after hearing a few words, the smile on his face faded a lot.
Song Sanniang was chatting with Gongyi Qingjun, and she felt that the person next to her was a little quiet. She looked over and saw that the other person was looking at her puzzledly, as if asking why he was suddenly looking at her.
Nothing unusual was found.
In the evening, Song Sanniang found that he was a little too enthusiastic and secretly threw the little thing away.
Song Sanniang leaned against the head of the person in front of her, "Where's the stuff? What if it gets infected?"
After she finished speaking, the person in front of her stopped moving. After a while, she realized something was wrong and raised the person's face forcefully. "What's wrong? I felt that something was wrong with you during the day.
If you have anything to say, tell me and we can face it together, okay?"
The person leaning against her chest didn't say anything, and she didn't say anything either, waiting patiently for him to speak.
After a long while, she finally heard her husband say something in a muffled voice.
"I want to give birth to a female ruler for my wife."
Song Sanniang was a little surprised, "Did you hear me and His Majesty talking about the heir during the day, so you want to give birth to a daughter for me?" Seeing that her husband below did not refute, she tacitly accepted this reason.
Song Sanniang held her husband's face in her hands, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"We have a little Qiushi now, and men can enter the government and inherit the Duke's Mansion in the future." She paused for a few seconds and then continued, "Giving birth is too painful. I don't want you to suffer again, okay?"
Seeing Gongyi Qingshu didn't say anything, Song Sanniang thought he had figured it out, but the next second she heard him turn his gaze away and avoid her eyes.
Oh, lady, you must give birth!
Song Sanniang still felt that having another child was not a good idea, but unfortunately her husband, who usually had a good temper, had made up his mind today.
Finally, after a stalemate, Song Sanniang took a step back. "It's too late. Let's get some rest. Let's discuss this matter tomorrow when both of us are calmer and more lucid, okay?"
After listening to the previous words, Gongyi Qingshu still looked indifferent, but the next words seemed to touch him and he softened.
Although his expression and movements did not change, Song Sanniang immediately noticed the subtle change in his attitude. She tentatively hugged him and was relieved when she saw that he did not refuse.
The commotion ruined the atmosphere, so she covered herself with the quilt and prepared to go to sleep.
That night, both the wife and husband were preoccupied and did not sleep well.
When she woke up in the morning, Song Sanniang couldn't help but yawn, and then another yawn sounded in her ears. She suppressed her smile, got out of bed, and held down her husband who was about to get up.
"It's still early, you should rest for a while."
There was a rustling sound of someone putting on clothes in the room, followed by a soft sound of a door closing, and the room became completely quiet.
Gongyi Qingshu lay down only after he confirmed that his wife had left.
Now that he was alone, he was thinking about how to convince his wife to have another child.
Before, after he sent Qiushi to school, he happened to encounter a group of people gathered together on his way back, blocking the road.
Seeing that there were too many people gathered around, he asked Wushuang to find out what was going on.
After Wushuang found out the truth, she came back and told him the situation inside: a wife and husband were having a quarrel.
He heard from the men around him who knew the truth that the man mentioned above was the only son in the family, so with the help of the elders in the family, he invited a woman to marry into the family.
The two of them spent some time together in love and had several children.
After the husband's parents passed away, the woman became restless and stayed away from home. It happened that the husband caught her raising a little boy outside. Feeling wronged, she brought the elders of the clan to fight against him and is now making a fuss.
That's why there are so many people gathered around, just to watch the fun, and no one knows what the final outcome will be.
Gongyi Qingshu was stunned for a long time after hearing this. The laws of Qinglong Kingdom regarding the queen marrying the husband (the master) have been adjusted for thousands of years and can be said to be very complete. What the husband brings with him is considered a dowry and is in his own hands.
Moreover, all the assets in the wife's hands will be handed over to the husband.
Even if the lord dies and his wife remarries, the former lord's property will be inherited by his remaining children. If there are no children, it will be returned to the lord's mother and father. If it is really unfortunate that all the lord's family members are gone, the property will eventually be divided between his clan and his wife.
On the other hand, if the wife dies and the lord wishes to remarry, he must keep his children's share and can take the rest with him.
...many, many, covering almost every aspect.
However, there are no complete laws regarding marrying into the wife's family.
The government is more inclined to favor female rulers who marry into their husband's family. Therefore, when the government encounters cases where female rulers who marry into their husband's family encroach on the assets of their husband, the husband is usually ordered to divorce the other party, but he still has to give the other party one-third of the assets.
If the master dies, the assets will belong to their children, and she will not be able to get them. (Avoid murder for money)
There was a famous case in the history of Qinglong Kingdom.
A female ruler who married into the wife's family outlived her master and her own two children. So when she was in her fifties, most of her master's assets were in her hands. She directly jumped the social ladder and became a wealthy person with a lot of assets.
Later, she married another man, had children, and lived to be over eighty years old.
This can be considered an alternative way of eating out the whole family, but no one else can learn this method, and no one can survive without her.
It was also at that time that he began to think about this problem.
What finally made him decide to have another child was another incident.
One day, Xiao Qiushi came back from class in a bad mood. Finally, after he patiently comforted and persuaded her, she told him the reason.
Xiao Qiushi said that the children in the school didn’t want to play with him, and they said they were different from him.
He was shocked at that moment and couldn't speak. He didn't know how he comforted Xiao Qiushi in the end. He kept thinking in his mind that if Xiao Qiushi had a younger sister named Xiao Nujun, the situation would be different.
Then the news of Xiao Concubine's pregnancy spread in the palace, and his wife took him to congratulate his sister. As he listened to the two of them talking about the heir, he felt more and more uncomfortable.
That's why he secretly threw the things away last night. He thought his wife wouldn't find out, but just as he was about to act, he was caught red-handed, and in the end, the long-awaited moment was lost.
