Chapter 263 Female Majesty, I am the Mother Thirty
It was the first day of August in the 125th year of the Yuan calendar.
Tang Nanguo ascended the throne as emperor at the age of eight, and her third uncle served as regent to assist her in handling political affairs.
The ministers in the imperial court did not dare to raise any objections, because Tang Yujing had long suppressed any objections.
As for Prince Jing...
After her granddaughter ascended the throne, she took her five husbands to travel around the world!
Only a few sons are left to help in the capital.
In the second year of his accession to the throne, the new emperor ordered the abolition of several laws that prohibited the punishment of female virgins!
Men in the Southern Tang Dynasty had the same opportunities as women to receive education and work.
The law on compulsory marriage is abolished, women are no longer forced to have five husbands, and men who are 18 years old and unmarried do not need to forcefully assign wives!
Men can also marry wives, but they cannot take concubines.
Women are still respected, but at least men have begun to have freedom, have opportunities to prove their usefulness, and have room for choice.
Naturally, these were resisted by a group of ministers, but now the court has long been controlled by Tang Yujing!
They even removed many officials who were not doing the right thing and replaced them with their own people!
Many outstanding men in Jingcheng are already standing in the court.
……………
In the following years, the fertility rate in Southern Tang Kingdom dropped a lot, but there was no lack of population.
But the development is faster than before. There is no shortage of people in the military camps and in the major shops!
A large number of men have joined in all walks of life!
And it’s not that they don’t get married, it’s that they haven’t met the right one. When they do, they will still choose to get married.
Food is plentiful, trade is developed, and major officials supervise and report each other. This is the current situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Tang Honghu, who was on the border, rarely returned to the capital, but he never stopped writing letters to his brothers.
Every year, Tang Hongdou would send people to escort supplies to the garrisoned military camps.
Coupled with the money given by the court, although they were miserable, they had nothing to live without, and they could also send money to their families.
The five of them have never married, and they help Bai Xue become a qualified emperor.
Bai Xue also respects her father and several uncles very much and has never had any doubts about them.
After she came of age, ministers petitioned to remove the regent one after another, but she did not waver and reprimanded those who petitioned.
If these people were not veterans of the late emperor, she would have killed them.
After all, he is a loyal person, and he can still give them a few chances with a few harsh words.
As for rehabilitating the Bai family, the verdict was overturned in the first year after Tang Nanguo ascended the throne!
Those umbrella ministers back then were all dismissed and severely punished, which just allowed her to add a few more of her own people to the court.
…………
When she came of age, Tang Nanguo followed her promise and married a man from the Gong family as Fengjun. This was the agreement that the prime minister had made to pave the way for her.
Then he married several harem beauties and stabilized some important court officials.
It was also this year that Hibiscus, who had old wounds, was the first to leave them.
Yunfei had already dug a cemetery in Jingcheng. There were six tombs in total, and hers was in the middle. At this moment, the first tomb welcomed its owner.
All five sons came to the grave, weeping silently.
After going through many vicissitudes of life, they no longer understand what crying means...
"Go back and do whatever you need to do. Mom will accompany your father, and then she will stay in Jingcheng and never leave again..."
Gong Liusu stepped forward and held the old hands, "Yes, for dads, the happiest time in this life is in Jingcheng, this is the place where we were reborn."
The five children were silent, and finally bid farewell to their mother and fathers sadly after spending two months with them.
They need to go back to their respective posts!
At the beginning of the next year, Lan Nianqing also left. When he was young, his conditions were too difficult and his foundation was poor!
Then at the end of the year, Bai Ruyue also left!
The night before his death, this gentleman who had lived a life of elegance was still lying in her arms, recalling every detail of these years with her.
"My wife, Ruyue, thank you. It was Ruyue's honor to have your joy that year..."
Yunfei had already had a premonition, hugged him tightly, and said with a chuckle: "It's my honor to have such an outstanding husband like you."
In the middle of the night, when the person in her arms gradually began to become cold, she still didn't let go.
Recalling his smile, I feel extremely sad and bitter...
"In your next life, be born in a place where men and women are equal. There, you won't have to suffer so much."
…………
The only two remaining five husbands did not survive three years, first Gong Liusu...
The night before she died, she took out the wedding dress that she had treasured all her life and caressed every inch of it lovingly.
"Master Wife, does it look good?"
Yunfei smiled and said, "It looks good. It's the most beautiful when you wear it."
Gong Liusu smiled. With his white hair, he was still dignified and wealthy. He had never let go of his manners in his life.
He took off his clothes, only wearing his undershirt, and wanted to put on the red wedding dress.
Yunfei helped change clothes...
"Fortunately, the late emperor didn't know that you still helped me change my clothes, otherwise I would have scolded you even more."
"I dote on my husband with a clear conscience."
After putting it on, Gong Liusu turned around slowly and asked with a smile: "Does it look good?"
"You are good-looking, as handsome as before, and your wife's eyes are astounded."
"Master Wife, can you help me put on makeup?"
"good!"
The person in the mirror was already old, but what came to Gong Liusu's mind was the day she got married.
The moment the hijab was lifted, His Highness was amazed not only by his eyes, but also by his heart.
But he just stunned her eyes...
The two of them slept in their clothes, and when Yunfei was about to fall asleep, a word came to his ears, "My wife, do you know that in this life, Liusu will love you to the core..."
Yunfei's heart tightened, and he reached out to hold his hand, "I know, so... I have been with you all my life."
"That's enough... Liusu, I'm very satisfied."
When she was buried, Gong Liusu was buried wearing the wedding dress. This dress was made by Yunfei himself who drew the design and asked the embroiderer to make it.
Then he personally delivered it to the Prime Minister's Mansion to him...
Ye Lian'er cried uncontrollably in front of the tomb. All the brothers left one after another, leaving only him and His Highness!
He leaned in Yunfei's arms and choked with sobs: "My wife, can you not leave Lian'er alone and leave first? Lian'er is scared!"
"Don't be afraid. If you leave first, I will go with you. If I leave first, then you will go with me."
"good!"
As a doctor, Ye Lian'er manages her health very well!
So he accompanied Yunfei for another two years.
The two of them get along like an ordinary couple, and their mutual love is the envy of others.
Get up early in the morning and go to the market to buy groceries, then cook together when we come back, play with the cats after dinner, and go to a teahouse to listen to a play.
At night, we took a walk by the lake, enjoying the night breeze, and then fell asleep hugging each other.
In this year, she only belongs to him...
For some reason, I couldn’t write a long story about this plane, so I compressed the plot. After the extra chapter, I hesitated between the interstellar and immortal cultivation planes, and I chose to cultivate immortality!!!
