The world is at peace, his wish has been fulfilled, and it's time for him to live for himself!
Having said that, he still took responsibility and personally raised the princes and princesses.
After the chosen crown prince, that is, the eldest prince, has completely acquired the ability to take over the country, he will be given power and become the emperor.
Afterwards, he traveled around the world with Zhu Xianyue and died without regrets.
…
The new world was named Liang Dynasty, and Liang was the country's surname.
The current emperor is named Liang Anyu and is thirty-seven years old.
He is as his name suggests, a gentleman from the street, gentle as jade.
However, Zhu Xianyue couldn't see him for the time being.
In this world, Zhu Xianyue's status couldn't be any more humble—
In addition to their wives, many high-ranking officials in the Liang Dynasty also had concubines.
Those who were born into good families were usually granted the title of concubine, with official documents as evidence. They could not be sold at will unless they committed a serious crime.
If she gave birth to a child or made other contributions to the mistress, or was appreciated by the mistress's mother or the master, she could be promoted to a noble concubine, have her own world and farm, live a more decent life, and even go out to have tea and talk with other ladies.
Singers and dancers from music troupes were generally given the title of lowly concubine. If a woman was not obedient, her mistress could beat, scold, or even sell her at will, without complaint.
But there is a type of person whose status is even lower than that of a concubine, and that is a mistress.
A concubine is a woman that a man keeps outside his home, similar to a modern mistress.
There is no official document to prove her relationship, and she lives entirely on the affection given by men.
The children will be labeled as "outsider's children" for the rest of their lives and will not be able to hold their heads up.
Compared with real brothel girls, the latter probably serve a bunch of men, while the former is just a prostitute for one man. If the man is unhappy and doesn't pay, you can't say much.
Zhu Xianyue was not a concubine, she was a maid serving the concubine, and she was even more miserable.
Her master is Chu Yuwei, a fellow townsman and good friend of Xie Junze, the son-in-law of Liang Huanyan, the eldest princess of the Liang Dynasty and the elder sister of the current emperor.
According to the laws of the Liang Dynasty, a prince consort was not allowed to take concubines.
However, Chu Yuwei and Xie Junze have been husband and wife for a long time, and Chu Yuwei has been pestering Xie Junze and even... is pregnant with Xie Junze's child.
Xie Junze had no choice but to bring Chu Yuwei to Bian Jing because he couldn't bear to see his own flesh and blood living outside.
Bian Jing is good. As long as it is closer to Xie Junze, she will be satisfied.
Of course, there are some hidden secrets in this.
The current emperor Liang Anyu has few children, and his elder sister Liang Huanyan also has difficulty in having children.
Xie Jun was afraid that he would not have a son, so he persuaded the princess.
The princess was truly in love with her husband and agreed to this matter.
Now, the eldest princess Liang Huanyan and her husband Xie Junze have been married for only half a month, and Chu Yuwei is already one month pregnant.
Zhu Xianyue was originally the most beautiful girl in the village, but unfortunately, she was a barren woman.
A stone woman is one with a special body structure that makes her unable to perform the Zhougong ritual with a man.
Her parents regarded her as a bad omen.
Chu Yuwei also wanted to be like the ladies in Bian Jing, with someone serving her.
So he bought her as a maid.
The original owner was also a miserable person. Following Chu Yuwei, she was responsible for all the dirty and tiring work.
Later, just because Xie Junze looked at her for a second longer, Chu Yuwei took advantage of the situation and pushed her down the stairs.
The original owner hit his head and died on the spot.
In fact, the barbaric woman poses no threat to Chu Yuwei's status.
Everyone loves beauty, but Xie Jun only cares about her appearance.
But Chu Yuwei couldn't stand this.
Of course, the person she was more jealous of was the eldest princess Liang Huanyan, because Liang Huanyan was Xie Junze's legitimate wife.
