Chapter 1214: Master Qing helps you repay your kindness (4)
The second young master originally thought that the eldest young master came to talk to her because he couldn't bear to leave her.
But who would have expected that the eldest son would go round and round, and finally he would talk to the second son about how he wanted to imitate Empress E and take the second son to Xiguo as a concubine.
The second young master was so frightened by this bold proposal that he turned pale. Are you kidding? With her status, how could she become a concubine?
What is a concubine?
A concubine is not a status symbol, but a dowry that accompanies the hostess when she is married off from her natal family.
The status of concubines is much higher than that of concubines. They have a formal status and can attend formal banquets. If the woman who is the head wife dies or has no children, then the concubine can take her place and become the head wife.
Since the mortality rate of women in this era was very high, the existence of concubines could maximize the interests of the party marrying the girl.
After all, even if the concubine is straightened up, she is still their girl.
But all this must be done under the premise that the wife dies or makes a mistake. ??
But if the head wife grows old with her husband without incident, or if the husband dies early, then the existence of the concubine will become extremely embarrassing.
Therefore, the Second Young Master knew very well that even if he described the concubine's future in a dazzling light,
A concubine will always be a concubine.
If she really married, she would only have the opportunity to accompany her husband if her sister asked for it, or if she was unable to serve the Crown Prince due to physical condition.
She can never have children until her sister gives birth to an heir.
Even if she gives birth to a child, she will always be one head shorter than her sister's child.
To put it more bluntly, if Crown Prince Xi was in a mood, she would have to go and perform her talent while her sister was having sex with Crown Prince Xi.
What's more, if the crown prince of Xiguo fails, she may have to go up and help push him.
Although
She liked Prince Xi very much and was grateful to him for saving her life.
But she has her own pride. She is the legitimate second daughter of the concubine and his wife, so why should she suffer such injustice?
Thinking of this, the second young master flatly rejected the proposal of the eldest young master and his wife.
But the eldest son was very persistent in this matter.
In the case of intermarriage between the two countries, it is imperative to marry off concubines.
But the identity of a concubine is very sensitive, because when the mistress dies, she can take her place.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for favored concubines to harm their mistresses in various princely states.
This is also the reason why the eldest son insists on taking the second son as his concubine.
First of all, she was sure that she would never treat her sister badly.
Secondly, she has seen her younger sister since she was a child. She understands her sister's character and knows that she will never do anything sorry to her.
As for others, she couldn't trust them at all.
Here, the second young master is unwilling to become a concubine with the eldest young master.
On the other hand, the Crown Prince of Xi Kingdom was not willing to let the second young master marry him.
Although the eldest son and the second son are both from the same mother, the eldest son's appearance takes after that of his mother, Mrs. Gui, and his personality is innocent and cheerful.
Coupled with the fact that the eldest son is fond of reading, his witty conversation, and his whimsical and innovative ideas, the prince of Xiguo is full of freshness and feels that he and the eldest son have endless things to talk about.
The second son's appearance is more masculine. Since he has been shrouded in the halo of his sister since he was a child, the second son's character is also a bit timid, and he is usually dull and doesn't like to talk.
Except on
After the second young master almost fell off the cliff and was saved by the Crown Prince Xi, the Crown Prince did not have a good impression of this second young master who was so submissive that it made people think she had a dark heart.
Discovering that the Crown Prince of Xi Kingdom did not like the second young master, the eldest young master's desire to facilitate this matter became even stronger.
In this era, it was very normal to marry a concubine, so under the eldest son's pleading, Prince Xi finally gave in.
He personally asked the second young master to come out for a talk.
In addition to asking the second son not to get pregnant until the eldest son gives birth to an heir, Prince Xi's words are full of sincerity.
Finally, the second young master was moved by the Crown Prince of Xi. She put on her wedding dress and married her sweetheart together with her sister Jie.
Not long after, Lao Jihou passed away.
The Crown Prince of Xi Kingdom became the new Marquis Ji, and the eldest son's name became Xi Gui. Everyone would respectfully call her Mrs. Ji when they see her.
The second young master’s name became Guiji
Just a few days after getting married, Gui Ji discovered that she was not in Ji Hou's eyes or heart.
Because he proves his love for his sister with practical actions all the time.
But he was always affectionate and polite to her, and he never even looked at her twice.
Except for the time when her sister arranged to come to her room every month, Ji Hou never showed any difference to her during the rest of the time.
It was as if she and other concubines were the same existence in Ji Hou's eyes.
Sometimes, Gui Ji even felt that Ji Hou should hate her.
Because she is a concubine, a backup force to become a real wife.
Therefore, the common concubines, singing girls, and beauties in the harem all disliked her.
Until I found Ji
After feeling displeased with Gui Ji, they relaxed a little bit in pushing against Gui Ji.
Different from Gui Ji's difficulties, under the protection of Ji Hou, Mrs. Ji's life is very comfortable.
With the nourishment of Ji Hou's love, Xi Gui's appearance became better than before she got married.
But the problem also lies in her good color.
Due to too many fiefdoms, Emperor Zhou's territory was shrinking day by day, and his power was seriously lost.
Therefore, the Great Zhou Dynasty gradually declined.
The various vassal states are in constant friction, and they all want to find a reason to destroy other vassal states in order to increase their own country's territory.
Emperor Zhou was happy to see such a thing come to fruition, and he wished he could personally help fan the flames and make the war between various countries more chaotic. He was taking advantage of the opportunity to reap benefits.
Therefore, wars frequently occur between neighboring countries.
The State of Cai and the State of Xi are adjacent to each other. When the old Jihou was still alive, the monarchs of the two countries had frequent contacts.
When Lao Ji Hou passed away, Cai Hou was busy with government affairs and did not take time to come to mourn his late friend.
Later, Marquis Xinji sent a letter to the Emperor of Zhou requesting to succeed to the throne. Marquis Cai felt that it was not appropriate to worship at this time, so he delayed.
It was not until the edict for the new Queen's accession to the throne was issued that the Marquis of Cai came to Xiguo in a cart to congratulate her.
Thinking of the long-term excellent relationship between the two countries, Hou Ji naturally entertained Hou Cai with a top-notch banquet in the country.
At the banquet, Marquis Ji and Marquis Cai had a very happy conversation, so she left Marquis Cai to stay in the palace and planned to have a night talk with him by candlelight.
Marquis Cai was greedy and lustful, but after just a few glasses of wine, he became a little forgetful and had an undue desire for the very good-looking Mrs. Ji.
At night, under the influence of alcohol, he rushed into Mrs. Ji's bedroom and prepared to do something inappropriate to Mrs. Ji. Fortunately, he was stopped in time by the guards who arrived.
