Chapter 438 Garland
Chapter 438 Garland
"This world is full of malice towards women, and I don't have the ability to save all women. Compared with the entire dynasty, we are as small as a speck of dust. I won't dream of changing the world, that's too unrealistic, but I don't want to be wronged either, because I think my contributions are no less than you men, and I am no worse than you men.
So we get married, I will do my best to fulfill the duties of a prince's consort, but there is one thing, I think if we are together, we will be together, if we are apart, we will be apart. If there is no love between us, then we will separate peacefully. Brother, if you secretly take a concubine, you take a concubine, and I will keep two male favorites. "
Seeing the sudden change in his senior brother's expression, Shu Xiaoxiao continued, "Of course, don't worry. I will only look for a male favorite if you want to take a concubine. If you are single-minded, I will be wholehearted. If you take a concubine, I will keep a male favorite. Don't worry, I will keep the male favorite in Yongle Marquis Mansion and it won't bother you. Or we can just divorce."
After Shu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she stared at Yun Qinghan. Even though he was her senior brother, he was still a man. Moreover, if he was a man who was going to get married in the future, he should make everything clear to avoid a mess after marriage.
As I said, if you don't have the ability, then you must just accept what you have to do. Marrying into the royal palace like the women of this era, watching your husband have three wives and four concubines, locking your heart and locking away your love, and spending your whole life is also a way of living. After all, it is better to live a miserable life than to die. No one will stop living just because a man has to be monogamous.
But who made her have the golden finger? She can flutter a few times, so why should she refuse? She has the right to choose, so why should she put herself in a difficult position? Besides, her senior brother is not the only choice for her. If her senior brother does not agree, then she can find someone who is willing to agree.
As for regretting after marriage, there is nothing to be afraid of. As the old saying goes: if things get along, we stay together; if things get apart, we separate. If she takes precautions in advance, if it really comes to that, she can leave with a clear conscience.
Anyway, since she has the choice, she will not share a man with other women, because compared to loving men and future children, she loves herself more.
With Canbao and Dabai around, Shu Xiaoxiao has the confidence to leave anywhere. With the things in her space, she can live a good life in other places.
Yun Qinghan's deep eyes rolled back and forth as he looked at the bright and lively girl in front of him. His clear eyes were sad for a while, then full of confidence, and finally turned into determination.
Although their appearances were quite different, Yun Qinghan felt his heart beating just by looking at the pair of clear eyes. He was delighted: “This world may be a little harsh on women, and they may not even have the same status as men, but these women are not as miserable as you think. They also have their own way of living.
This is how the world is. Both men and women have their own paths to follow. As long as they have the ability, they can always make their lives more comfortable. Maybe some women do have miserable lives, but as long as they have the ability and determination, they can live well. Men and women just do their own things. "
There are so many things in the world that are not satisfactory in life. Both men and women have their own frustrations, but women are not all weak, and they do not have to just accept everything.
Just like his mother, he used to think that his mother was at the border just to take care of his father. But it was only after he went to the border that he realized that his mother's ability on the battlefield was no worse than his father's. She stayed at the border probably to take care of his father, but she also had more freedom at the border. And the mistresses of each family in Kyoto were not much worse than men, and even ordinary men could not compare to them.
"As for taking a concubine, if you are not my wife, then it doesn't matter who else I marry. But as long as you are my wife, then it will only be you, no one else. There will be no concubines or male favorites between us, okay?"
Before, he had an indifferent attitude towards marriage because of his identity and the environment he grew up in. He had seen too many different kinds of women, some ambitious, some simple and cute, some passionate and charming... but in his eyes there was no difference.
He had also seen the concubines in the palace. They fought for the emperor's favor. No, they did not fight for the emperor's favor, but for the power in the emperor's hands. They fought against each other for greater benefits and to climb up the ladder. They were scheming, hiding daggers in their smiles, suspicious of each other, their opponents, maids, and children...
Anyone, anything, and everything can become their stepping stones. They climb to the top by stepping on piles of bones. Even though they are not tired, Yun Qinghan is tired of watching them.
Although his parents abandoned him, they had a good relationship. The tacit understanding between them, the unspoken understanding, and the warmth that quietly flowed between them also touched his heart.
Later, he discovered that he didn't know when his junior brother had moved into his heart. When he thought of getting married, the first person who came into his mind was his junior brother. For the sake of his junior brother, he had decided that he would not get married in the future and had even decided which family's child to adopt.
Now, things have taken a turn for the better. His junior brother is actually a girl, and they can get married. He couldn't control his happiness when he thought about it, so after getting married, he had no plans to take a concubine. What's more, the male favorite mentioned by his junior brother, whether it is a male favorite or a concubine, must stay away from them, no, stay away from them and their husband and wife.
He now just wants to be with his junior fellow apprentice.
Seeing her senior brother's seriousness, Shu Xiaoxiao was immediately happy. What a handsome man, especially a handsome man of her senior brother's level. Even if her senior brother falls in love with someone else in the future and they break up, she will not suffer any loss based on his looks.
He pulled the man's head down, stood on tiptoes and kissed him hard: "I will go back and tell my mother and eldest brother about our marriage."
"Then, you go to the Emperor to ask for the imperial decree granting marriage."
Yun Qinghan nodded: "Okay."
But he only kissed Shu Xiaoxiao on the forehead, then hugged her tightly, and began to help Shu Xiaoxiao arrange her flowers.
When his junior brother was a boy, it was okay to go a little too far when being intimate, but now the reputation of a girl is still very important, and as the relationship grows deeper, he is afraid that he will not be able to control himself.
It's fine for him to be a man, but his junior is a girl, so whether he is a senior brother or a fiancé, he needs to think carefully and never let others gossip about his junior.
It's just pitiful that he was still calculating when he could eat meat, but now there's not even any soup left. He took a deep look at the tender and tempting lips in front of him, then shifted his gaze to the flowers in front of him.
Shu Xiaoxiao took the flowers handed to her by Yun Qinghan and weaved them skillfully with her hands. Her slender and delicate fingers shuttled among the green and pink branches, which was so graceful and beautiful that people could not take their eyes off.
When she was in Qinglian Village, she had often made wreaths with the children, so she was very familiar with the technique. She could finish one in just two or three minutes, and then tied it up with a rope similar to a ribbon that she had prepared long ago.
After checking it left and right and finding no problem, he put it on his head: "Brother, does it look good?"
Yun Qinghan looked at his junior brother who looked like a flower fairy, and nodded with a smile: "It looks good!"
Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the half-finished painting next to her, and then she used the remaining flowers to make another wreath and put it on Yun Qinghan's head: "Brother, this also looks good!"
Yun Qinghan happened to be wearing light-colored clothes today, and with the colorful wreath on her head, she looked a lot softer.
