The First Volume The Protectress and Her Three Husbands and Four Concubines Chapter 8 Endless Reporting

  During my convalescence, I read some books in the study room to get a general idea of the situation in this world. This world can only be said to have excessive gender equality, as long as one has the ability, men can take three wives and four concubines, while women can take three husbands and four attendants. There were not a few female emperors in history, but men still occupied the majority.

  I also found a very interesting booklet, which is relative to "Nü Jie" (Admonitions for Women) called "Fu Jiao" (Admonitions for Husbands), equivalent to "Seven Outcomes".

  "The Teachings for Husbands" and "The Teachings for Wives" are only effective for one side of a marriage.

  "The Husband's Training" is basically the world's rules for taming husbands.

  The first article: Those who are disrespectful to their wives can be divorced. This article is enough to show that women's rights have expanded extremely.

  Article 2: Those who are unfilial to their parents shall be divorced. Here, "parents" refers to the husband's parents.

  The third is lust; it should be stopped.

  Article 4: Jealousy shall cease.

  The more you talk, the more you lose.

  Article 6: No children, no rest. I'm a bit puzzled by this one, how do you judge something like Feng Qingya's situation? Do you have to be with a man for three or four months and then abstain from sex for six months to see if you get pregnant?

  Article 7: Those who do not observe etiquette and laws shall be suspended.

  When I saw the seventh item, a person walked in from outside the door. At first, I didn't notice either. In my peripheral vision was a pair of black boots. I thought it should be Nangong Qiuyue. The pain in my heart.

  "Madam, are you feeling better?" A very calm voice, not Nangong Qiuyue. I raised my eyes from "The Husband's Teachings", and saw a dazzling scene.

  A figure stood under the sunlight, the bright and dazzling light drew a circle of golden outline around him. I narrowed my eyes, he took a step forward, and only then did I see his appearance clearly, which made me gasp in amazement.

  The newcomer's face was like a crown jade, with red lips and white teeth. A pair of starry eyes shone brightly, with a hint of heroic spirit between his eyebrows. A jade crown held all his black hair in place, not a single strand out of place. He wore a dark red open-collared long shirt, with a white snake whip at his waist. His hands hung down by his sides, and his skin seemed to be very good, for the sunlight shining on his hands brought out a kind of translucent feeling.

  From top to bottom, I like the jade hairpin on his head the most, crystal clear and translucent, it seems to be a high-quality emerald.

  No way, the good-looking guys here are all unapproachable, I can only shift my attention elsewhere.

  He smiled at me with a relieved expression, hastily approaching: "I've been busy with government affairs these past few days and couldn't come to see you, madam. Since you're fine, I can also be at ease."

  I raised an eyebrow and looked at him, this voice seemed familiar.

  He seemed to sense my coolness, furrowed his brow, leaned over, and pressed the back of his hand, as white as jade, against my forehead. I still looked at him indifferently, thinking who was he again? He smiled reassuringly: "Looks like nothing's wrong."

  He immediately reached out his hand towards my left shoulder, I dodged it at once. Although I am open-minded, I don't like being touched by strange men.

  "Ma'am..." The man withdrew his hand and sighed, I casually asked: "Who are you?"

  The man's eyes flashed with a hint of loss, and he sat down beside me, separated by a low table: "Husband Chu Yue."

  "Ah~~~" I relaxed my expression, "I remembered, you were one of the three people who saved me. No wonder your voice sounds so familiar." Just in time when Xiao Jiu wasn't around, I tested the waters a bit.

  Chu Yue's gaze softened as he looked at me, and I saw his concern for me. Since he was the emperor's brother-in-law, it was natural that he had a good relationship with Feng Qingya. From his expression, it seemed likely that they were close like siblings.

  "So you're still going to work, Chu Yue?"

  "Going to work?"

  "Hmm, it's morning court... I don't like ancient times at all, the language has to be careful."

  Chu Yi let out a sigh: "Indeed, I originally wanted to take care of my wife, but was tied up with official business. Fortunately, you're fine now, otherwise Chu Yi would have felt guilty."

  "It's nothing, it's nothing, a man should prioritize his career."

  "Is the lady's left shoulder feeling better?" Chu Yue's expression also relaxed, with a warm smile on his face. I nodded: "It's better, but it still hurts when moving too much."

  "This broken bone is no trivial matter, it won't heal in less than a hundred days." Chu Yue furrowed his brow, "This Tianji Palace's Junlin He has made such a heavy move, I must find an opportunity to get rid of him and avenge the lady!"

  Wave after wave of murderous aura emanated from Chu Yue's body. In fact, I wanted to say that it wasn't the work of that crane, but for a moment, I didn't dare to speak the truth rashly. The seven men of the Guardian Manor each had their own background, and each was filled with helplessness and resentment. Who knew if there was an internal traitor?

  "Madam, why are you reading 'Fu Xun'?" Chu Yue pointed at the "Fu Xun" in my hand. I immediately tossed it behind me: "Nothing, just taking a look. Why does 'Fu Xun' have one less chapter than 'Fu Nü'? It seems there's still bias against women."

  "Hmm... after all, there are few women as strong as you, madam."

  "Really?"

  Just then, another person hurriedly walked in from outside the door. At this time, I saw clearly that it was Nangong Qiuyue.

  Nangong Qiuyue stepped into the study and saw Chu Yue, first stunned, his eyes flickered for a moment, then sat down in the guest chair on the right side of the hall, he was still wearing a simple and plain gray-black robe.

  Nangong Qiuyue was about to speak when I cut in and asked: "Qiuyue, didn't the Guardian Manor give you your monthly allowance?"

  Nangong Qiuyue was taken aback, with a look of confusion in her eyes. Chu Yue beside her said calmly, "The Protector Manor distributes monthly allowance, fifty taels for husbands and thirty taels for wives."

  I nodded and continued to look at Nangong Qiuxue's ordinary face: "Since you gave me the money, why are you dressed so shabbily? I'm not dead yet, don't dress like you're in mourning, it's annoying for your wife to see."

  A soft laughter came from beside her, "Autumn Yue, it's daytime now, you don't have to dress like that."

  In other words, Chu Yue knew the "use" of Nan Gong Qiu Yue.

  Nangong Qiuye's face turned pale with anger, looking at the black hair tie on his head made him furious, only dead people in the family wear black hair ties.

  "Nangong Qiuxue rarely goes out on sunny days, and it's rare for her to appear from now on." Nangong Qiuxue was really angry, I smiled and changed my sitting posture: "Then what did you come here for today?"

  "Report." Nan Gong Qiuyue simply said two words, and began to report, "Jia Ming started secretly selling official positions, laughed at Wang Ye's outing and return to see Song Shuhan, Donglai country has recently frequently sent people to the border of Datang, fearing that there are spies..."

  Uh... Why is this report different from before? How come it's all about national affairs? And... I didn't understand one sentence...

  Nan Gong Qiuyue has been holding back for a long time, and because of Xiao Jiu by my side, she didn't dare to report rashly. Now, she is talking endlessly, continuously, and I am listening in a daze, as if in a cloud of fog.

  "Alright, I understand." In the end, it was Chu Yue who spoke up. After all that fuss, he was actually talking to Chu Yue, or rather, the Empress Dowager. Chu Yue immediately stood up: "I'll take my leave first."

  "Uh......oh." I hadn't even recovered from that barrage of words yet.
