Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1316 Famine and Natural Disaster 475

Over the years, successive Zhou kings have guarded the Northwest diligently and managed it well. The emperor is far away and can only send spies to keep an eye on it. Successive Zhou kings knew this and they remained patient and calm, which prevented the emperor from making up his mind to kill them all.

The splendor of the Zhou Palace is inseparable from the wisdom of its successive rulers.

"Your ancestors have put in a lot of effort to make the Zhou Palace last so long. Our farming family has nothing, so brothers often fight over the family property. Your Zhou Palace has set the status of legitimate children firmly. Legitimate children are noble, and although there will be some inequality for illegitimate children, the benefits are obvious. The status of legitimate children is stable, and illegitimate children cannot cause any trouble, so the Zhou Palace will not have to go through turmoil."

Once the illegitimate child becomes ambitious, the legitimate child can take action to quell it at any time.

“That’s right.” Seeing that she understood the situation, Zhou Ting continued the conversation. “Back then, my body was so weak that I looked like I could die at any time, but the power of the Dark Guard Camp and the Prince Zhou’s Palace did not fall into the hands of a bastard. This is the family rule and also the clan rule.”

No offense allowed.

His father was in his prime at the time and held great power, but he could not shake the family rules and clan rules.

No matter how weak the legitimate son is, the illegitimate son cannot replace him; no matter how favored he is in front of his father, he cannot take the authority of the crown prince from him.

There were many concubines and illegitimate daughters in the mansion who had ulterior motives, but his mother suppressed them in the backyard and prevented them from plotting to murder him again. If he died one day, the illegitimate daughters would have a chance to come to the fore.

It’s a pity that he didn’t die.

"It's better this way, there will be less disputes in the Zhou Palace." The advantages of having one's status determined at birth are very obvious; but there are also problems, as legitimate children will become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of illegitimate children.

Under such circumstances, it can be regarded as a test given by the Zhou kings of all generations to their legitimate sons.

If one can withstand the test, his character is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Zhou Ting just smiled and said nothing.

Mingyi continued, "Your half-brothers have all been arranged, and your sisters will be married in a few years. When the time comes, your brothers will take their concubines and move out to live alone, and the Zhou Palace will be quiet."

"It's quite quiet now." He smiled meaningfully.

As long as my mother is here to suppress them, without my father's support, nothing can be accomplished.

Moving out is a good idea, but it is better to keep her in the palace; if those illegitimate brothers are grateful, it will be fine, but if they are not grateful, then their aunt will be in danger.

In a big family, when the head of the family falls, the supporters of the concubines and illegitimate children will also fall.

"Right."

Mingyi probably guessed what he was thinking. Someone among his concubines had harmed him and caused him to suffer for more than ten years. How could he let them go easily?

The previous settlement was just an appetizer. The accumulated fear, restlessness day and night, and endless torture are the real reckoning.

"Chao Sheng, you are fourteen years old."

  "Huh?" Zhou Ting was confused. What happened to Fourteen?

"Why did Yi Yi say that?"

"I'm not saying that. I've heard the maids talk about how boys from aristocratic families who are only thirteen or fourteen years old have concubines. How come I haven't seen you have a concubine or anything like that?" Mingyi pretended to be curious and looked at him with clear and bright eyes.

Under her clear starry eyes, Zhou Ting's ears turned red, and he thought: What are the maids around Yiyi teaching her? They even talk about this kind of thing.

"What's wrong? Can't you tell me?" Zhou Ting's eyes were red with smiles, and this was rare. "Could it be that you have something to hide?"

"nonsense."

Zhou Ting retorted subconsciously, only to regret what he had said after he had spoken it. He looked at her cautiously; seeing her bright smile and obvious teasing, he realized that she had made fun of him, "You're getting worse and worse. You actually use such things to make fun of me." On impulse, he held her tightly in his arms.

"You are such a curious little girl. It's all because of the maids who have led you astray. I will teach them a lesson when I have time. How can they teach you everything? It's not proper."

Although it sounded like a reproach, the tone of his voice was surprisingly gentle.

Mingyi said jokingly, "You can't blame the maids for that. I just mentioned it because I was curious. Do you want to wait until you are fifteen or sixteen to have a concubine?"

She glanced at him sideways, her starry eyes sparkling.

Zhou Ting sighed helplessly. The little girl in his arms hasn't gotten the hang of it yet. Speaking of the concubines in Natong's room, she was not jealous at all.

"Yiyi, don't ask me such questions in the future. I won't have a maid or a concubine. In the future, it will be just the two of us, so don't test me. Since I met you, I have been reborn. For the rest of my life, I only have you, and I only belong to you."

After hearing this, Mingyi turned her head and smiled even more happily.

It was an expected answer, but she was still very happy.

"Remember?" Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Zhou Ting turned her body away, and when he saw the smile on her face, he realized that she had fooled him again; after all, these were his plans, and it didn't hurt to tell her, but he was not angry, "You will know in the future, Zhou Ting has a lot of things to do in this life, and I don't have the heart to find a woman; you are a little girl, and I spent a lot of effort to get you to agree, and finding another one will only make trouble for myself."

He has a long future ahead of him. Even if he cannot conquer the world, he still has to spend the rest of his time with his sweetheart and handle government affairs.

Mingyi felt that he could use a modern word to describe his attitude at the moment; not everyone wants to be a master of time management, it requires a certain amount of energy and effort.

As for Zhou Ting! It is true that he has scheming minds, but he never uses them in matters between men and women.

"I know, I know. Please don't say it again in the future." Just joke, but know when to stop.

Zhou Ting nodded in satisfaction, and rubbed his chin against her hair. "In the future, no matter who asks about these things, or talks about taking a concubine, you can use what I said today to block them. If they go too far, you can take action. You can suppress them no matter if they are from the Zhou family or the rich and powerful."

If you live a comfortable life for too long and forget your responsibilities, then you should remember it.

He doesn't care about magnanimity or virtue; what he cares about is whether the little girl in his arms is happy and whether she can live a carefree and happy life.

"Aren't you afraid that people will accuse you of bullying others with your power? It's not good for your reputation."

"That's not something you should worry about. I'm here."

Mingyi smiled and leaned into his arms. If he behaved well, she would give him some treats.

really.

As soon as she leaned over, Zhou Ting knew that she was very satisfied, and from then on he treated her with the attitude of cherishing her above all else; this gave her enough confidence to do whatever she wanted happily without having to worry about other people's opinions.

Mingyi's eyes curved with joy.

Zhou Ting felt that their relationship had become closer and was particularly happy. He had just rushed back and did not think about taking a day off. Instead, he stayed by her side the whole day, reading books, practicing calligraphy, and handling government affairs without ever separating.

After the Little New Year, it is the Big New Year.

New year, new atmosphere, everything is renewed.

The second update is here~~(*^▽^*)Happy National Day everyone~~~Have fun.
