Lu Chunyu thought about it again and again and felt that it would be safer to seek the opinions of her sisters before making a decision.
People are always harsh on women. Besides, Lu Chunyu never thought about leaving the palace and marrying into the inner house again.
Taking care of parents-in-law, taking care of children, and serving husband, all these factors combined make it not a relaxing and comfortable place.
She summoned the concubines in the palace and asked for their opinions.
Lu Chunyu could not have imagined that most of the concubines did not want to return home, but wanted to stay in the palace and spend their remaining years in peace.
Afraid that people would regret it, the host Lu Chunyu asked again.
"Your Majesty will no longer favor you sisters. You will stay in the palace, feeling lonely and alone. How will you pass the long nights?"
She remembered Concubine Zhang's answer very clearly.
"If it's not good in the palace, is it good outside?"
"After leaving the palace, the family will not allow a girl to stay at home and not go out."
"After getting married and moving to another family, you have to serve your parents-in-law and take care of your children."
"I have to find time to be a sweet talker, to capture the master's heart, and to take care of the concubines in the mansion. I am exhausted."
"Compared to that, in the palace, I have sisters by my side, live in a large courtyard, stroll in the garden, have a group of maids around me, a high bed with soft pillows, and live in luxurious clothes and delicious food."
"Men, if you think about it carefully, are just entertainment. It's good to have them, but it doesn't matter if you don't have them."
Lu Chunyu: ...
Her vision is narrow and she is not as clear-sighted as her sisters.
When Lu Chunyu went back and talked to the man about it, Song Yunyi immediately became unhappy. It seemed that they would be stuck together as a couple for the rest of their lives.
Even though the man was extremely reluctant, he finally couldn't resist his pregnant wife's constant nagging and agreed.
He issued an edict that all the concubines who voluntarily left the palace would be allowed to return home with a large sum of money, and his family was ordered to choose a good husband for them.
I heard that the queen gave each of the women who were released back home a nameplate.
She said that if anyone was wronged at home, he could go directly to the palace to find her.
Lu Chunyu was worried about the women leaving the palace, so he left them a talisman.
After the twelfth lunar month, it is the Little New Year.
All the palaces and halls that did not leave the palace began to prepare.
On New Year's Eve, His Majesty was very busy. He got up early in the morning to worship his ancestors and report the major and minor events of the year.
After the worship, the emperor went straight back to Kunning Palace because the empress dowager had not returned from praying.
The couple had breakfast together, but it was too early, so the little queen, who was visibly pregnant, didn't eat much.
He thought that his young wife would accompany him to receive congratulations from all the officials in a while.
The man helped her sit on the small couch and told her to rest for a while.
"I'll go with you to the banquet for all officials in a little while. I think it'll be a long time since noon, so you should rest first to avoid being exhausted by then."
It's cold outside, but I'm not cold inside because the heating is on.
Song Yunyi helped the person lie down, turned around and covered Lu Chunyu with a blanket, and waited patiently for the person to close his eyes.
He took a book and quietly stayed beside his wife who was taking a nap.
The palace maid, who pretended to be deaf and dumb, looked at the man leaning against the couch, holding the scroll in one hand, and his free hand loosely holding the sleeping queen.
I knew the emperor was considerate to the queen, but I never thought he was so caring.
The palace maid sighed inwardly and lowered her head even more.
Many court officials and royal family members came to attend the banquet, and the palace gate was crowded with carriages.
The high-ranking officials and their families who got off the car greeted each other when they met familiar colleagues.
In the spacious carriage made of sky-blue satin, the driver stopped the horse and turned around.
"Your Majesty, the princess has arrived at the palace gate."
The situation in the carriage could not be seen clearly due to the curtain. After reporting, the driver jumped out of the car and stood beside it waiting.
In the carriage, Lu Chunxi, dressed in the court dress of a prince's princess, had a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Hearing the words coming from outside the curtain, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Song Chengli, who had been silent all the way beside her.
The man seemed unaware of her gaze. He stood up and straightened his wrinkled sleeves.
Without even looking at her, he stood up and left.
Seeing this, Lu Chunxi's brows became even more worried.
She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment. Xianglan, who was kneeling beside her and serving her, couldn't bear it and whispered a reminder to the young lady who was holding the handkerchief tightly and was in a daze.
Lu Chunxi, who was immersed in a feeling of grievance, suddenly woke up.
Lu Chunxi has had a hard time recently. Love cannot tolerate even the slightest flaw.
Song Chengli, who believes in true love, met Lu Chunxi by chance in the first half of his life.
We got to know each other, and then we recognized this person.
He has been on the road of pursuing true love.
For this, he paid a lot and he enjoyed the sacrifice for love.
Until one day he discovered that the woman he loved was not as perfect as he had imagined.
In order to survive, he even tried to put all the blame on him.
When he had decided to take all the blame and sacrifice himself for her.
Once the filter of love was broken, Song Chengli, who had just woken up from his dream, began to carefully examine every detail of his relationship with Lu Chunxi.
Emotions cannot withstand scrutiny.
Because once you think about it carefully, you will find that the relationships you have experienced are full of loopholes.
The loophole is getting bigger and bigger, and the past is too painful to recall.
Faced with Song Chengli who chose to avoid her, Lu Chunxi thought of countless ways to ease their cold relationship.
After trying for a long time, there is still no result.
Lu Chunxi was anxious, she had no way out now.
Her family was distant from her and the palace was indifferent. All she could do now was to hold on to what she could.
Song Chengli, her only lifeline.
She followed the man closely, as if she couldn't feel the indifferent attitude of the person in front of her.
She trotted over and quickly grabbed the end of the man's wide sleeve with her hand holding the handkerchief.
"Slow down, I can't keep up!"
The man who was walking fast and coldly in front of her was stopped in his tracks by her coquettish words.
