On the first day of becoming the wife of the emperor's son, the mother-in-law set rules for me, saying that I could no longer behave like a petty person in the past. I could not show up in public all day, and all the business matters were handed over to other people.
Filial piety was emphasized in ancient society. If she dared to object, her mother-in-law would find ways to continue to harass her. Although Qin Yuchen would protect her, he couldn't just keep an eye on her.
She had thought about rising up in resistance like in the novels, but she had no power or influence. Even if she died in this house, no one would care. People would only say that this woman had a short life and could not bear such great wealth.
Moreover, in this dream, the Fourth Prince succeeded to the throne, and Qin Yuchen was a popular and powerful person in the capital. No one dared to offend her, and she had no say at all.
The mother-in-law would give Qin Yuchen women from time to time, and even some women from wealthy families would volunteer to be his concubines. The mother-in-law saw that she was becoming more and more dissatisfied.
Whenever she attended a banquet, there were always noble ladies who envied her for being a peasant girl who could become the wife of a wealthy man. She was really lucky.
Yao Wei wants to leave this world all the time.
She was trapped in this small house and missed modern life very much. Although her work was very busy, she could travel all over the country. Even if her life had many troubles, she was free in the outside world and she was free too.
She woke up suddenly, her face full of horror, and looked at the sky which was a patch of pure white and blue, only to realize that it was a dream.
She was lying on a chair. The adopted children did not wake her up, but gathered around her obediently, helping her to move the bean paste to the kitchen. One of the children fell down, but he did not cry, but ran over to her and hugged her skirt.
"Mother, I'm sorry, I broke what you made."
Yao Wei touched his head and said with a smile, "It's okay."
Fortunately, it was just a dream.

Zhu Sang was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War and had two younger sisters. Her mother treated her very strictly and required her every move to conform to the moral standards of a woman from an imperial family. She learned the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework. However, because her younger brother was taking the imperial examination, she was able to read the Four Books and Five Classics in addition to books like "Nu Xun".
My mother didn't impose any restrictions on these things.
The woman in my mother's handkerchief was the wife of the Duke of Rui. When Zhu Sang was five years old, she was engaged to the daughter of the Duke of Rui.
When she was a child, because of her mother's relationship with the wife of Duke Rui, she often saw her fiancé Fan Qingli visiting her house.
He strictly observed etiquette and did not overstep the boundaries in his behavior. He was more handsome than the average man, with a demeanor like pine and cypress, and was friendly to others.
His mother was very satisfied with him, and Zhu Sang also fell in love with him silently.
She thought that if she were his wife, she would definitely manage the rear house for him and live in harmony with him.
She had an uncle named Zhu Xiaowei, who was the prince's tutor of the time. He treated her very badly, and because of his strange personality, no one else liked him.
However, Zhu Sang felt that her uncle was a man of profound knowledge and vision. Whenever she came across something she did not understand, she would run over to ask him. As time went by, her uncle liked her more and more and would buy her any toys or jewelry he saw after the morning court session.
One day, she overheard her grandmother scolding him.
"Are you going to stay single for the rest of your life just for this woman? She is now the queen, high up in the sky, and she is living an uncomfortable life. And you are staying single for her, how can I rest assured?"
"My son is not single for anyone, but I have a favorite woman in my heart. If I marry just for my family, it will be unfair to other women. And how can I be comfortable as a queen? Mother, I remember how you cried because of Aunt Zhao. I don't want my wife to become such a person in the future."
The grandmother remained silent for a long time, and finally whispered, "How about you take a concubine first? At least you can have a child."
