Chapter 624: On Etiquette
Xie Jinyun was neither annoyed nor angry. She swept her eyes calmly over the eight ladies of the noble families present and asked, "Then I will ask the ladies."
"What is etiquette?"
Madam Shangguan replied: "The Queen should put the Emperor and his offspring first. This is the etiquette."
Madam Ren replied, "Taking care of the harem, managing the household, and serving the parents-in-law, this is etiquette."
Madam Chen replied: "Be generous and magnanimous. Treat legitimate and illegitimate children as your own. This is the etiquette and law."
After listening to this, Xie Jinyun nodded slightly: "What does these etiquettes you are talking about have to do with me selling some snacks in Xie's shop?"
She walked up to Madam Ge and said, "Can it be that I am doing a little business and I don't care about the emperor and my offspring?"
She turned around and slowly walked to Madam Ren: "Or just ignore the harem and disrespect the elders."
She walked up to Madam Chen and said, "Among all the ladies present, how many of them are truly legitimate or illegitimate children? We should treat them all equally, without distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate children."
The ladies had not shown any surprise at what Xie Jinyun had said before, but after Xie Jinyun answered Mrs. Chen's words, they all looked embarrassed.
"We are all born into aristocratic families, and our family has been in history for hundreds of years at least. If there is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, why don't I abolish the etiquette today, and let illegitimate sons and daughters in the family enjoy the same treatment as legitimate sons and daughters, receive the same monthly salary, and have the number of maids and old women serving them according to the ratio of legitimate and illegitimate children. How do you think?" Xie Jinyun turned around and returned to the center in front of the Wude Gate, glancing at every lady present.
When the ladies heard this, their faces suddenly changed.
Madam Yan quickly raised her head and replied, "If the Queen says so, wouldn't it be a mess?"
"How could it be so chaotic?" Xie Jinyun narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile in his eyes, but full of sarcasm: "Could it be that this etiquette is only used for me?"
The ladies looked panicked for a moment.
Madam Chen quickly replied, "I have absolutely no such intention."
"You want to impose on me what you don't want others to do to you. How can this be called etiquette?" Xie Jinyun asked back.
Madam Chen's expression froze, her face turned pale with fear, and she shouted, "Empress, I dare not."
"I don't mean to make things difficult for you, nor do I want to embarrass you women and children." From beginning to end, Xie Jinyun's tone was very calm.
They were not afraid of her, Xie Jinyun, but they were afraid of the shackles imposed on them by the powerful: "I pity you."
What? Madam Chen was shocked and stunned. "You are wives, mothers, daughters, and mistresses of the house, but you are also yourself." Xie Jinyun glanced at the ladies and said, "In the eyes of the nobles, you should be a good wife, respect your parents-in-law, and treat your illegitimate children well. No one will praise you for doing a good job."
Madam Ge saw that the other ladies didn't know, so she raised her head and retorted, "Without the etiquette that the Queen has spoken of, women will be unrestrained, men will become thieves, women will become prostitutes, and the morals of the world will go downhill, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Moreover, Queen, you are also a daughter of an aristocratic family, and you were once a model of noble ladies in Yanjing. How can you say such words and do such things? Now that you are the mother of a country, you should set an example for the daughters of aristocratic families and let the women of Yan follow suit, instead of hawking on the streets and doing the same business as low-class merchants."
Xie Jinyun snorted sarcastically, walked towards Madam Ge, and said, "Madam Ge, since you despise merchants so much, why don't you donate your shop, give up your business, fill the treasury, and let the emperor have the money to fill the harem, how about that?"
"What, what what what..." Mrs. Ge couldn't believe it. She slowly raised her head, wanting to see how Xie Jinyun had the nerve to say such robbery words.
Isn't this a blatant robbery by the Queen?
When Madam Ge looked up at Xie Jinyun, Xie Jinyun walked towards her and replied condescendingly: "Let's not beat around the bush. I'm short of money. Filling the harem and multiplying offspring are state affairs. Since you ladies have asked, I'll ask you ladies to borrow money. I'm sure you ladies are willing to contribute to state affairs, relieve my worries about the harem, and fulfill the etiquette you ladies have mentioned. What do you think?"
Mrs. Ge smelled something wrong.
Mrs. Chen, who was kneeling behind, fainted on the spot.
Mrs. Shangguan, who was standing next to her, rolled her eyes secretly when she saw this.
Mrs. Yan on the other side also fainted.
Madam Shangguan looked back at Madam Yan again.
Before she could react, Madam Ge, who was kneeling in front of her, fainted heavily on her, causing her to gasp and reach out to support Madam Ge.
After Xie Jinyun said a few words, Madam Ge, Madam Chen, and Madam Yan fainted one after another.
The lady who hasn't fainted yet is about to faint.
Madam Shangguan also wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb and faint, but she was holding Madam Ge in her arms, and Xie Jinyun kept staring at her, so she felt embarrassed to pretend to faint.
After Xie Jinyun had seen enough of the joke, she said to Nanny Yuan beside her, "It's hot in July, and the ladies are exhausted. Send the imperial physician to take a look, and then send someone to notify their relatives to take the ladies back home."
"Yes." Nanny Yuan replied.
Xie Jinyun returned to Gu Changning, was embraced by Gu Changning, and sat on the palace sedan chair.
But Xie Jinyun's departure made the lady of the noble family feel uneasy... (End of this chapter)
