Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 222 Being Participated

Prince's Mansion

boom! boom! boom!

The sound of broken porcelain was heard constantly, and the uncle was venting his anger.

But the servants did not dare to step forward to dissuade him. After a while, the Queen Mother came over and stopped him.

"You are so old, yet you still lose your temper like a kid.

If this matter gets out, will people laugh at the Queen's family?" She said coldly, and signaled the servants with her eyes to pack up the things.

She sat at the top, and then asked, "Tell me, why are you so angry?"

The uncle said angrily, "That woman Shunfei was banished to the cold palace, yet she was given the title of Imperial Noble Consort.

The two freaks she gave birth to were also rewarded. What is His Majesty trying to do? Is he suppressing my sister?"

The Queen Mother shook her head in disappointment. Her husband passed away early, and when her mother-in-law was still alive, she poured all her love for her son into her grandson.

When her mother-in-law left, she realized that her son had been raised to be rude and brainless, but it was too late.

"Is this what got you angry about?" the Queen Mother asked, angrily.

"Yes, it's that old man from the He family who's causing all this trouble. I think he just can't stand seeing us doing well."

The Queen Mother looked at her eldest grandson who was sitting in the living room calmly and composedly, and who was a hundred times more outstanding than her father, and secretly praised him in her heart.

She turned her gaze towards him and asked, "Rui'er, tell me, does the fact that Concubine Shun was given the title of Imperial Noble Concubine have a big impact on us?"

Huo Rui lived up to her expectations, his words were concise and to the point, "The He family has not had any dealings with relatives outside the family for three generations, including us, so they have no reason to target us.

Secondly, Concubine Shun's title of Imperial Noble Concubine would not pose a threat to our family, because it was just an empty title. Both of her children had problems and could not compete for the throne.

3. I have heard that the problem with the child born to His Majesty and Concubine Shun is due to inbreeding, so it is not Concubine Shun who has the problem.

Everything His Majesty did was to make up for her. We don’t have to be enemies with them, and we can even win over their family.”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother's brows relaxed and she nodded with satisfaction, "Well, it seems that I have not learned from your teachers in vain."

The uncle of the emperor, who had just finished a tantrum, didn't know whether he was sighing at his own stupidity or sighing at his son's ability.

But when he found out that he had smashed the antique ornaments that had been passed down in his family for three generations, all his emotions turned into physical pain.

"Hmph, you are ignorant, shameless, and immoral." At the flower-viewing banquet hosted by Jin, a lady muttered to Jin who had just finished speaking, and He Jun and Song Sanniang happened to hear it.

"Who is that?" Song San asked curiously.

He Jun whispered, "Chen Yushi's wife likes to give Chen Yushi one concubine after another to show off her virtue.

Then we sent those concubines out early. What we did just ruined her good deeds. We didn’t invite her this time. I don’t know how she knew about it and came uninvited.”

Song Sanniang nodded. Although she wanted to confront her, this was not the right occasion.

The female doctor hired by the Jin family is explaining to everyone which flowers and plants are good for women, such as what flowers are beneficial to place.

What flowers and herbs can be used to treat various problems related to menstrual blood? It also talked about some simple gynecological problems.

The female relatives who came this time included both young and old, and they all listened with great interest. Some of them even asked the female doctor for more information.

But for example, there are some shameful things. The female doctor said that if you have any problems, you can consult her privately.

Mrs. Chen could no longer bear it and shouted, "What kind of flower-viewing party is this? You are just talking about things that are not worthy of being discussed on the stage. Do you still have any shame?"

Jin didn't expect that she would come uninvited and speak so arrogantly. She snorted coldly, "Mrs. Chen, I remember that I didn't invite you. How did you get in?"

The lady who was pestered by her and brought her in apologized helplessly and wanted to take her away.

But the ladies who attended the flower viewing party were not happy and were filled with indignation.

Because they don't pay attention to these issues on a daily basis, they can only hide their discomfort.

Sometimes, even after consulting a doctor, they dared not tell the truth, because some women were being watched by their mother-in-law, some were afraid of what their husbands would say, and some did not want their concubines to cause trouble.

Now that they had the chance to learn about this, they all wished they could hold two more shows. How could they bear to see her causing trouble?

"Madam Chen, you are so pure and innocent that you cannot stand women's affairs. You must be a virgin." A female member of the Hanlin family mocked.

"Haha, Madam Chen probably won't have her period, so she can't stand hearing this." Another lady from the Hanlin family covered her mouth and laughed.

"Oh, Madam Chen, you yourself don't have any womanly ways, don't the young ladies in your family need to learn some?

Or are you just a sweet-mouthed person with a bitter heart, and as a mother you don't care at all about your daughter's condition?"

A wife who was also an imperial censor knew the most about the Chen family and deliberately said,

Mrs. Chen was so angry that she was shaking. She ran away and said, "Just wait, I will let my husband report you."

The ladies were left together laughing.

On the second day of the morning court session, Censor Chen indeed reported the husbands of all the ladies who had attended the flower viewing party.

"Your Majesty, I have a report to make." After discussing the important matters of the court, Censor Chen and others stood out from the ranks and saluted.

"Oh, what does Minister Chen have to report?" The emperor had a headache when he saw this Censor Chen come out, because he was an old-fashioned person who always kept nagging the officials in the court for trivial matters.

"I would like to ask His Majesty to severely punish the Minister of Rites He Jingye, the Right Vice Minister of Rites Liu Tao, the Imperial College Priest Su Hao Ning and others for condoning the ladies of the backyard to hold a private gathering.

They are doing things that violate the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. If they are allowed to continue like this, the women in the family will become shameless and unchaste. I hope Your Majesty will punish them severely."

The emperor frowned. What was Censor Chen trying to do? How could a flower-viewing party be considered unchaste? You know, his sisters and princesses all liked to hold flower-viewing parties.

So he raised his hand to stop He Jingye and the others who wanted to step out to respond, and asked Chen Yushi, "What did they do at the gathering?"

Censor Chen's face froze, and he felt a little bit speechless, but facing the emperor's inquiring gaze, he had to answer truthfully.

The emperor knew what was going on immediately after hearing this. If they hadn't brought this up, he wouldn't have known that inbreeding would be detrimental to future generations.

He didn't think these were bad things, although women's affairs had always been extremely obscure and generally would not be openly exposed.

But men should not interfere too much in these women's affairs.

On the contrary, he thought their proposal of women getting married later was a good one. Although it would have some impact, the country is now rich and the people are strong, so it is not a big problem.

Moreover, he felt that if they got married later as they said, the children they would have would be healthier and more likely to survive.

This is actually a good thing, but as the emperor he cannot take the initiative to take charge of this matter.

So he looked at He Jingye who was about to step out, "Minister He, what do you say?"
