Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Chapter 347 Discussion

The next day, Xu Yuexi was still asleep, but her husbands had already gathered in Fenglanyuan.

Fenglanyuan Reception Room

"My Lord, please have some tea."

Ji Wuxie bowed with the teacup in hand and handed the tea to Tang Liuqing who was sitting at the top.

In this world, concubines and maids need to offer tea to the master twice when they marry into the family.

The first time is in the morning of the day after they get married, they have to offer a cup of "entry tea" to show respect to the master.

The second time is the morning after the first sexual intercourse with the wife, when a special cup of "wife-serving tea" is served, also known as "positioning tea". The purpose of this is to determine their ranking in the family.

Women in this world marry many husbands, and sometimes they marry several concubines or attendants at the same time. There is no clear division of their status. Although they are all concubines, there are still subtle differences in rank.

Therefore, whoever has sex with the wife first will determine his position among the concubines. Therefore, this cup of "positioning tea" not only represents a ritual, but also symbolizes his position and identity in the family.

Moreover, there are some differences in serving tea between the concubine and the attendant.

When serving tea to the emperor, the concubine does not need to kneel, just need to bend down; while when serving tea to the emperor, he needs to kneel and his attitude should be more respectful.

Now that Ji Wuxie has been promoted to concubine, he only needs to bow down.

Seeing Ji Wuxie serving tea, the other side officials had nothing to understand. Even though they were unwilling, they had no choice. This was a rule that had been formed since ancient times!

Tang Liuqing took the drink and said to Ji Wuxie, "You worked hard in serving my wife last night, my Lord. This is the hair crown that my father gave me. I give it to you today. I hope you will serve my wife wholeheartedly in the future and help her conceive a child soon."

"Yes, thank you, my Lord."

"Please take a seat, Mr. Da Ce."

After Ji Wuxie sat down, the other concubines stood up and saluted.

"I have met Lord Osamu."

Ji Wuxie nodded.

"Brothers, please take a seat."

After all the necessary rules were followed, Tang Liuqing spoke:

“I asked all of you to come here today because I want you to know two things.

The first thing is about everyone serving the wife. Everyone knows the changes in the wife. Now the wife treats you with the same heart as I do. She is very willing to be close to you. Therefore, from now on, the wife will go to the backyard to spend the night.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for you. You don't have to worry about the wife favoring some over others. The wife said that she will treat everyone fairly without any favoritism or discrimination.

My wife has set a rule that, except for the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, when she stays in my courtyard, we take turns to serve her every day. As for whose courtyard she goes first, it depends on her own wishes.

When the concubines heard this, they were relieved. They were originally worried that they would have to rack their brains to win the favor of the wife, but they didn't expect that the wife would choose to take turns to accompany her, which made them feel extremely relieved.

According to their number, if they take turns, they can accompany their wives at least twice a month. Although the number is a little less, it is at least stable, and they don't have to spend too much time fighting for it. Besides, even the most favored master only has one or two more times than them. Thinking of this, they gradually feel relieved.

"The second thing is that my wife will be 21 in a few months. According to the laws of our country, a woman who is 20 years old and has not given birth to a child must marry five more men. It is not easy for a woman to get pregnant, and my wife just had an abortion. Her body needs time to recover. It is not easy to get pregnant again.

Therefore, all the concubines, please be mentally prepared, the wife must marry the concubine."

"Master, have you found a suitable candidate for my wife?" Ying Zhiyao asked.

"I haven't heard Xi'er mention it, right?"

"Master, we all know that the current wife is not the same as the previous one. Her ideas are different from the women here. She may not be willing to remarry." Bai Ze said.

"That's right, and my wife is a princess, with the highest status. No one should be able to force her." Ying Zhiyao said.

"So what if you have a noble status? The laws of the country cannot be violated. Just like us, even if we are the crown prince of a country, don't we still have no control over our own affairs?" Lou Moyu said.

"Yes! And because she is a princess, she must set a good example for all the women in the country. The princess's husband will only be more than what the law stipulates, never less." Shangguan Li said.

"No way? Doesn't that mean we will face falling out of favor before we even start being favored?" Ying Zhiyao wailed.

Long Haotian, Liu Yunxue, Leng Molin and Yue Rensong continued to remain silent.

"I know this incident may make everyone feel lost and helpless, but we have to face reality," said Tang Liuqing.

He also didn't want his wife to remarry. Although he was the master, he couldn't be so generous. However, he had no choice. The emperor had already hinted to him, and he couldn't just ignore it.

"Don't panic, this problem may not be unsolvable." Ji Wuxie said.

"I'd like to hear the details!" Leng Mo Lin said.

Although he was a man of few words, he was really curious. Thinking of that incredibly beautiful woman, he really didn't want another man to marry in and compete with them for her.

"I took my wife's pulse and found that her body has recovered very well. There will be no problem for her to have children again. As long as we can make her pregnant again before she turns 21, she doesn't have to marry for the time being." Ji Wuxie said.

"Yes, this is indeed a good idea." Ying Zhiyao said.

"But it is so difficult for a woman to get pregnant! How is it possible in just a few months?" Shangguan Li sighed.

Liu Yunxue was delighted when he heard Ji Wuxie's words. He remembered the fertility pills that the wizard asked him to take with him before he left the country. If he and his wife both took the fertility pills when they had sex, would it be easier for the princess to get pregnant?

Liu Yunxue had a lot on his mind, but like a calm chess player, he buried all his emotions deep in his heart. He knew that he had a special identity, so he followed the wizard's teachings and tried to keep a low profile.

"I think Mr. Da Ce's suggestion is a good one. After all, practice makes perfect! We can only know the result after we try it.

In the next few months, everyone should take good care of their health. If you need anything, just tell me. This way, no matter who makes the wife pregnant in the end, the wife can find another husband. Another important point is that we must keep the princess's secret and never let it out. "

"Yes, my lord."

At Fenglan Courtyard, the husbands were discussing how to prevent Xu Yuexi from marrying again.

At this time, in the bedroom of Fangfei Palace, Xu Yuexi slowly woke up. She rubbed her eyes, stretched, and prepared to enjoy the feeling of being served by her husband as usual. However, when she looked around, she was surprised to find that there was no husband!

This is really strange. Every time she woke up in the past, there would be a man waiting by her side. Where did all these men go today?
