Chapter 321 Concubinage?
Chapter 321 Concubinage?
"We actually want to seek your opinion. Since the emperor has asked this, he must have a candidate in mind. But..."
Qian Duoduo looked at his mother's embarrassed face and asked quickly:
"But is there something wrong with this choice?"
"This... well, it's not inappropriate, but according to our guess, it could be the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince."
Qian Duoduo heard it,
Wow, isn’t that a coincidence? They’re all old acquaintances.
Not to mention how familiar the Fourth Prince Chu Yan is, even the Eighth Prince has become a regular customer of the villa since his first visit there.
Although "Qian Xinxin" didn't know him, "Qian Duoduo" had raced horses with him and eaten barbecue with him, so they had a little bit of revolutionary friendship.
"However, from what I know, the Eighth Prince seems to be only in his teens."
Although people of this era married early, if Qian Duoduo remembered correctly, she should be older than the Eighth Prince.
“That’s right, so your father and I guess that the Fourth Prince has the most face.
There has been no bad rumors about the Fourth Prince. He grew up in the cold palace. It is just said that he has a cold personality and is not someone who understands others' feelings.
Moreover, he had just come back from the battlefield. It was said that he had a very bad temper and was particularly violent. To be honest, most of the girls from noble families in the capital were a little wary of him, and could even be said to be afraid of him.
This time, the Queen Mother has put a lot of effort and thought into choosing a principal wife and a concubine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
She tirelessly sent people to look for a suitable woman everywhere, but encountered many unexpected difficulties.
Many young ladies suddenly claimed that they were already engaged, or made the excuse of being unwell and unable to participate in the talent show. In short, all kinds of strange reasons emerged one after another.
This made the Queen Mother feel helpless and confused. Although she knew some of the reasons why they refused, it was difficult to punish them because there were so many people who refused.
The Queen Mother was helpless and had no choice but to choose one of her nieces to be the principal wife, and then chose two girls from the families of two officials of lower positions to be concubines. "
Madam Yang suddenly moved closer to Qian Duoduo and whispered:
“However, I heard that the Fourth Prince rejected it.
Long Ting was furious before and directly confined the Fourth Prince to the palace."
Qian Duoduo looked surprised that such a thing actually happened. No wonder he hadn't seen him for such a long time.
Qian Duoduo nodded calmly.
"I'm not telling you this to ask you to agree. I just want to ask for your opinion first.
Of course, your father will try his best to decline this matter.
I'm just afraid that in the end...
That’s why I need to discuss this with you.”
Qian Duoduo's body moved faster than his brain. He first hugged Mrs. Yang, who was also his nominal mother.
Not only did I feel the respect for myself, but I also felt the deep love that parents have for their children.
To use an inappropriate analogy, a country's top leader wants to introduce his own children to your children. Not to mention in this era,
Even in later generations, few parents would give priority to their children’s position. They would definitely agree first and then tell their children.
Qian Duoduo really feels happy and excited to have such parents.
"If it's the Fourth Prince, I can consider it. But if it's the Eighth Prince, it's not possible. I think I'm a little bit older than him. I don't like men younger than me, not even for one day." Qian Duoduo laughed foolishly after saying this.
"You..."
Mrs. Yang nodded at Qian Duoduo lovingly.
"Your father and I thought the same. Although the Fourth Prince is a little scary, your father has seen him in the court.
There is nothing wrong with his character, he just feels a little cold.
But my mother feels that the more this kind of person is, the more likely he is to be cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
When you two spend more time together and slowly develop feelings for each other, he will become dependent on you."
"Oh? Mom, you know so much about this, could it be that Daddy was also aloof in the past?"
"Humph, you're so cool, but I can easily defeat you, huh!"
Qian Duoduo's eyes widened. He never expected that his parents' love could be like this.
Are they the overbearing young master and the delicate young lady?
Qian Duoduo couldn't help but laugh.
"You little bitch, you still dare to laugh..."
"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"
Just when Mrs. Yang was about to punish her daughter for "not knowing the rules", the "domineering young master" came back.
Her parents are a perfect match, they grew up together and have a great relationship.
"Nothing, we just chatted about family matters and told her about the engagement."
When Lord Yang heard this, his smiling face froze for a moment. He suddenly didn't know what to say and always felt sorry for his daughter.
This matter has already happened before I have officially traced my ancestral roots.
Being a princess might be a good thing for some girls, but not all girls want to be a princess, especially the princess of the fourth prince.
"By the way, father, if, if I marry the prince, will the prince marry a concubine?"
Although the status of a prince's concubine is lower than that of his wife, she is still a concubine.
However, due to the marriage relationship between the concubine and the prince, she is regarded as one of the prince's relatives and enjoys a certain degree of privileges and treatment.
Not to mention, in general TV dramas, concubines usually receive the favor and support of the prince, and often compete with the main wife for favor and become jealous of her. Qian Duoduo doesn't like this.
And it's not just two women sharing one man, it could be three women, or even more, which she can't accept.
She would rather keep a lover of her own.
Lord Yang frowned, he must have understood what his daughter meant.
After considering the words:
"Except for the Fourth Prince, it's hard to say about the other princes. Some of them haven't married yet, but they already have many wives.
But the Queen did choose the daughter of an official from a lower-class family as a concubine for the Fourth Prince. It all depends on the Fourth Prince's attitude."
Qian Duoduo had not expected this. Well, whether a man wants to have three wives and four concubines is definitely up to him.
Here, men can have one wife and multiple concubines, and this seems to have become a norm, even more natural than eating and changing clothes every day.
They believed that marrying more wives and concubines could not only maintain various family relationships, but also make the family prosperous and satisfy their own selfish desires.
Therefore, men often marry many women, and these women need to assume various responsibilities and obligations in the family and play their roles well.
Become a bridge of connection between the husband and the wife's family.
Qian Duoduo does not want to advocate any love theory or monogamy in this era, but he still has to do it.
There is time, she thought,
When she has time, she should go find Chu Yan and have a good talk.
