When the new law was promulgated, Ye Zhen insisted on the promotion of the new law despite the opposition of the court officials. When she returned to the harem, she was still a little worried. Mo Rongzhan took her out for a patrol and found a tea stall by the roadside to sit down, surrounded by voices of discussion about the new law.
It was normal for them to oppose the new law since it conflicted with their interests. But what was the matter with these women?
The more Ye Zhen listened, the angrier she became. She had nothing to say to these women. Her new law was clearly to protect them. Not only did they not appreciate it, but they also complained like those men that they could not take concubines. Were they not afraid that their husbands would favor younger and more beautiful concubines and leave their wives behind?
"It's no use arguing with them. They have little knowledge. They only think that letting their husbands take concubines can show their virtue. They think that even if their husbands take concubines, they still have to respect them. That's why they have a problem with this law." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile, but there was still a sentence in his heart that he did not say. In fact, even if this law came out, men who wanted to have an affair outside could not be stopped. They would only be more secretive than before.
However, there was still the matter of Ah Yi. He could not mention an affair.
Ye Zhen snorted coldly, "Don't you want to argue with a fool?"
"You thought of this situation before you promulgated the law. Now, as long as you stick to your position, these people's discussion will pass in a few days." Mo Rongzhan comforted her and wanted to pour her a cup of tea to suppress her anger. However, he found that the tea was bitter and difficult to drink. With her pickiness, she would definitely not drink it. He poured her a glass of water.
"These people will know the benefits of the new law in the future." Ye Zhen took a sip of water and had to comfort herself.
Mo Rongzhan smiled and nodded, "It's best if you think so."
Ye Zhen put down the teacup a little dryly. "Let's go. I have sent people to prepare for going to the Jin Kingdom. There are still some things to explain to Liu Zhanhu."
"Good." Mo Rongzhan looked at her with a smile. Although he could see her every day in Yuan Country, she was a heavenly concubine after all. There were many things to do every day, and their time together was relatively less.
In the Jin Kingdom, she would be his empress. There would be no more people like Shui Yichen coming to the palace every day.
Thinking of Shui Yichen, Mo Rongzhan's eyes turned cold.
He knew that Yaoyao was very likable. At the beginning, he was attracted by her appearance, but he was truly moved by her personality, including her craftiness, intelligence, kindness and strength. He felt that it was very normal for Shui Yichen to like Yaoyao, but if Shui Yichen did not know how to hide his feelings and did something too selfish, that would not be tolerated.
"… Big Brother said that someone took away the two women from Nanyue. I don't know if Ah Yi has figured it out. If he does something wrong, I won't forgive him when we return." Ye Zhen talked about Mo Rongyi again.
"What?" Mo Rongzhan was absent-minded and didn't hear what Ye Zhen said.
Ye Zhen glared at him. "I know what you're thinking. You must think that it's okay for Ah Yi to be served by two women in Nanyue. If Zhao Ning knew, he would be heartbroken."
Mo Rongzhan touched the tip of his nose. "I didn't think so."
"That bastard!" Ye Zhen didn't believe Mo Rongzhan's words, but it was normal for him to think so. He was also a man, but the person he fell in love with was her, so he couldn't bear to do something that would make her sad.
"When we return to the capital, you can teach him whatever you want. I won't say a word." Mo Rongzhan said, unceremoniously handing his younger brother to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen glanced at him. "In the three years I was away, you really … didn't want anyone else?"
Mo Rongzhan chuckled and asked, gritting his teeth. "Do you think I haven't worked hard enough? Can't you prove that I've kept my chastity for the past three years? "
"I'm just saying, don't take it to heart." Ye Zhen immediately said with a smile. "By the way, did Mingxi and Mingyu go to Zhuangzi again?"
In the morning, she heard that the two little fellows still wanted to go to the farmstead to play. Their two maternal uncles had already set off for Jin Kingdom, so she kept pestering Yan Han. At this moment, they should still be playing happily in the farmstead.
Mo Rongzhan said, "I asked Shen Yi and the others to follow them. They will be back before dark."
Ye Zhen had already forgotten the discussion next to the Emperor's List. When she saw someone selling crystal buns in front of her, her eyes sparkled and she said, "The crystal buns in that shop are delicious. When I used to live here, my father would send someone to buy them for me …" Ye Zhen's eyes sparkled.
"Then go buy them." Mo Rongzhan smiled helplessly. He felt that even though this girl was already a mother, her temperament had not changed much from before.
No, it seemed that she had not changed in front of him. She was still the little girl who liked to act spoiled to him.
"Isn't that Shui Yichen?" Ye Zhen looked at the man who was buying crystal buns in surprise. Just now, she felt that the back was very familiar. When she approached, it was Shui Yichen.
Mo Rongzhan frowned without leaving a trace. He didn't want to see Shui Yichen.
Probably hearing Ye Zhen's voice, Shui Yichen turned his head and looked at them. When he saw Ye Zhen disguised as a little maid, his eyes flashed with surprise. When he saw Mo Rongzhan standing there coldly, the corners of his mouth rose faintly. He bought another crystal bun and walked towards Ye Zhen.
"Why are you here?" Shui Yichen didn't expose Ye Zhen's identity. Since she came out in disguise, he naturally didn't have to bow to her.
Ye Zhen smiled. "I came out to inspect the people."
The smile on Shui Yichen's face deepened. He handed her a bag of steamed buns. "Miaomiao is at odds with me. I came to buy steamed buns for her to eat."
"You made Miaomiao angry again?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows. She felt that Shui Yichen must have something to do with Shui Yichen. Was he making things difficult for Zhao Tianji again?
"What I did was for her own good." Shui Yichen pursed his lips. Would he want his sister to be bad?
Ye Zhen smiled and shook her head. "You must be making things difficult for Zhao Tianji again."
"…" Shui Yichen glanced at her. "You really know me."
When Mo Rongzhan heard his words, his eyes became colder.
"The steamed buns won't taste good when they're cold. Take them to Miaomiao." Ye Zhen smiled.
"Beitang Yu came to see me." Shui Yichen lowered his voice. "I'm afraid he has seen other people in the court. We have to keep an eye on this person."
Ye Zhen's eyes turned cold. "What did he say to you?"
"I didn't see him, but it's hard to say for others." Shui Yichen said indifferently. "I originally wanted to send someone to keep an eye on him. But when I found Yan Han's people, I didn't send anyone else to avoid being discovered by Beitang Yu."
"I understand." Ye Zhen nodded lightly.
