The prince's judgment on He Xi's injury was not wrong at all.
Almost that night, He Xi's wounds had scabbed over. After the scabs formed, there was almost no feeling unless touched. As long as He Xi did not do any strenuous activities, it would not hurt. And He Xi's injuries were healed.
Some. He immediately received the Queen's order.
It was very quiet in Kunning Palace. Except for the nanny who led him in, there was not a single person. You know, although the rules in the palace are simple now, around nobles like the emperor and empress, there are always people around them twelve hours a day.
Follow people.
He Xi's thoughts did not stay on this for too long. His thoughts were more on Queen Ma.
This was the first time He Xi saw Queen Ma.
This empress, who was praised by later generations, looked a little frail. She was dressed in cotton clothes, the colors were dull, and there was no silk or satin. Her kind eyebrows and kind eyes gave people a kind feeling.
After He Xi saluted, Queen Ma was very interested in hitting He Xi and said: "Get up. Sit down."
He Xi sat on an embroidered pier.
Empress Ma said: "Your Majesty, you are a very kind person, but you are short-tempered. You have suffered a terrible disaster this time. I will make amends for you on his behalf. Don't take it personally."
He Xi immediately said, "I don't dare."
Queen Ma said: "From now on, we are all one family. He is your father-in-law. Even if there are some bumps in the family, we will not talk about the two families. From now on, if he gets angry unreasonably like this, you come to me. I will give him a favor."
Do justice.”
He Xi said: "I would like to thank the Queen for your love and care."
He Xi should have said a few polite words. But He Xi is not a person of this era. Although it is just a few simple sticks, even the prince and the kings have been punished by such simple sticks when they were young. But in He Xi's heart
After all, it cannot pass immediately.
Queen Ma said: "Actually, I called you here this time because I wanted to ask you how marriages are done there."
He Xi was stunned and said, "Where are we?"
Queen Ma said: "It will be six hundred years later."
For a moment, He Xi was shocked and unable to react at all to this situation. His first feeling was nervousness, and he felt that his life was threatened.
Yes.
He Xi is very aware of the sensitivity of her identity.
When someone who leaks secrets dies, sometimes it’s not that the person who leaked secrets is hated by God. It’s that many people don’t want someone who can leak secrets. When He Xi didn’t understand this era, he really thought that Zhu Yuanzhang could control everything in the world.
.
But after a trip to Hangzhou, He Xi knew that although Zhu Yuanzhang was in control of the overall situation, there was an undercurrent surging under the overall situation, not to mention the remaining power of the two major groups in Huaixi and Zhejiang above the imperial court. To put it simply, although the Yuan Dynasty in the north was already in ruins
But in fact, he is still very capable. Among other things, a single unit of envoys can, under the control of King Liang of Yunnan, kill the envoys of Ming Dynasty, allowing Ming Dynasty to launch an unplanned war.
Although this ability and means are not as good as Ban Chao, they are not ordinary either.
And the White Lotus Sect, which was spread all over the world at that time, has not been completely eliminated. At least, in the imperial newspaper that He Xi saw, there were incidents of White Lotus Sect causing rebellions in various places, one after another.
My mind is at ease. No big commotion has occurred, but it is common practice to kill county magistrates, attack checkpoints, and entrench themselves in the mountains.
Even He Xi felt that Zhu Yuanzhang sent several generals, such as Tang Shengzong and others, to suppress bandits and quell chaos everywhere. If they suppressed bandits and suppressed chaos, there might not be the White Lotus Sect behind them.
As for the princes who had just become vassals, although they were young and fledgling, he knew what the future would bring.
When the secret of his life experience was in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang alone, He Xi could still comfort himself that his secret would not be leaked. But when the secret was passed to the second person, no matter who the person was, He Xi understood
something.
That is, it is inevitable that his life experience will be revealed to the world one day.
When he thought about it, all the forces in the world knew that there was a future person who knew the future. How would he react? If he is not used for me, he will be killed.
His safety will not be guaranteed in any way.
Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang could protect him comprehensively. But placing his life on others would not give He Xi a sense of security.
His breathing became rapid for a moment.
"Does your wound hurt?" Queen Ma asked when He Xi didn't speak for a long time.
He Xi said: "My wound has healed. I just have this question. I don't know how to answer it, Madam?"
He Xi said this, but secretly wondered in her heart why Zhu Yuanzhang told Empress Ma about this matter. Perhaps it was because Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma had a deep relationship and talked about everything. But He Xi had another speculation.
"Is this a warning to me?" He Xi thought to herself.
Although He Xi had already known that the best way for him in this era was to hug Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh tightly. But He Xi still had some luck. Now Zhu Yuanzhang used some tricks to let He Xi know what was in his heart.
Lucky, how stupid.
There was only one way for him, and that was to offer his loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang without any reservation. On this way, he could find beautiful wives, beautiful concubines, glory and wealth, and everything he wanted.
It seems that this is all He Xi has.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Queen Ma said: "Speak slowly and say whatever comes to mind."
"Yes." He Xi said. He pondered for a moment and then said: "In our time, the rule was that men were twenty-two years old and women were twenty years old."
Queen Ma was a little surprised and said, "Why are you so old?"
He Xi said: "Because a woman is too young, giving birth is risky. It is very likely that one person will die and two people will die. That's why the law was enacted to stipulate the age of childbirth."
Queen Ma was stunned for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
He Xi said: "This is already a consensus. Before a girl reaches adulthood, her body has not yet grown. If the baby is too big, it is easy to have dystocia. When she reaches adulthood, that is, after the age of eighteen, it is easier to give birth. How can the queen not believe that she can make it difficult to give birth?
Just calculate how many women under the age of 18 gave birth and died in childbirth."
Queen Ma didn't go to statistics, she already believed it.
For no other reason, in this era, women get married early and give birth in their teens. Children in their twenties are usually the second child. Most people think that the first time you give birth to a child, it is a death sentence, but the second time you have a child, it is not so serious.
Now. I don’t think about age.
Many people even take concubines and ask for children. Women who have given birth are based on this concept.
Of course, this is not unreasonable.
Because of this, the risk of giving birth to a woman in her twenties is very different from that of a woman in her teens. As long as Empress Ma thought about it for a moment, she would know that what He Xi said may not be entirely correct, but it was very reasonable.
For a moment, Empress Ma was even a little happy. She was glad that Anqing had delayed these few years and became an eighteen-year-old girl. She stopped her sisters by the way. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's family had no background. Zhu Yuanzhang himself valued etiquette the most.
It is clear that the elder sisters have not yet gotten married, and the younger sisters have already left the government.
This is also the reason why Empress Ma is particularly worried about Princess Anqing.
Unless the matter of Princess Anqing is resolved, her sisters cannot get married.
Now it seems that it is a good thing.
When He Xi saw that Empress Ma was silent, she coughed slightly and continued: "Our country is monogamous. We advocate free love and mutual happiness. We are free to marry. Either man or woman can file for divorce if they don't want to."
Queen Ma said: "Is this so? Why?"
He Xi didn't know what to say for a while. After being silent for a while, he said: "Because of the development of science and technology, some heavy physical work is done by machines. Most of the work that men can do, women can also do. Women can do it for half a day.
Therefore, we advocate equality between men and women."
Queen Ma didn't understand and said, "Then are you willing to do the same?"
He Xi said: "Of course I am willing to stay with the one I love forever."
There was an ambush in He Xi's words.
Men, who doesn’t have a few romantic hearts in their hearts. The same is true for He Xi. Even successful people in later generations may not stick to one person. In the Ming Dynasty, there were almost no restrictions on men. After He Xi became the princess, she
Cut off all kinds of thoughts.
He Xi may not be willing in his heart.
It's just that it's not a top priority right now. It's all trivial.
Queen Ma may not be ignorant of the meaning behind He Xi's words, but in Queen Ma's opinion, He Xi is really a good match for a woman. If nothing else, at least He Xi did not have any intention of scorning the woman in his words. Take a look.
Quote: “Women hold up half the sky.”
This is what all men in the world can say today.
Although Empress Ma is the pinnacle of the Ming Dynasty's women in terms of maternal honor, she also knows that if a Ming Dynasty woman wants to live a good life, she needs a man to rely on. Even her daughter is like this. Now she has Zhu Yuanzhang here,
No one dares to bully Princess Anqing.
But in the future, if Ming Dynasty is his brother, or even his nephew becomes emperor, how much of Princess Anqing's face can be left?
Only a good husband's family can support a woman throughout her life.
When choosing a husband, on the one hand, it is of course to choose someone with talent. Only then can there be a future. Empress Ma knows He Xi's talent and knowledge. His knowledge of more than six hundred years alone can make him shine. On the other hand,
Be kind to women and you will love them.
Otherwise, if the husband and wife are not harmonious, even if the husband-in-law has great glory and wealth, it will not belong to you.
After all, He Xi comes from later generations. His respect for women is far incomparable to the so-called pity and pity of men in this era. After all, pity and pity for women are from a bird's eye view, caring for women as if they were little kittens.
Like a dog, you need to pity and cherish her. But He Xi respects women as equals, as companions and partners.
Of the two, who treats women better? It goes without saying. This chapter has been completed!
