"Tell me, how could Her Royal Highness kill people? Is she still a woman? " The hunchbacked old woman walked along the wall with a basket in her hand. She shook her head and sighed.
She had just heard the news when she was buying groceries. She heard that people's heads were chopped off and rolled a few feet away. Even Qin Xiang's face was covered in blood. It was scary just thinking about it.
When she walked to a certain place, she was blocked by the crowd. She saw a group of young girls gathered around the wall. They stuck their heads out and chattered about something.
"What's going on?" The old woman pulled a young woman and asked.
"It's Grandma Sun …" The young woman looked inside and said, "It's the government's notice. It says that it's best for us women to have children after the age of sixteen. Otherwise, it's easy to have a difficult birth. I heard that three out of ten women who have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen don't survive."
The woman touched her chest and said with lingering fear, "Isn't that right? I remember when I gave birth to our Ming 'er, I was only fourteen. I was half a step into the gates of hell. It wasn't easy to save my life, and I was sick for half a year. Look at that girl from the Chen family. She only got married at eighteen, and only gave birth three years after she got married. She was laughed at because of this, but other people can walk the next day after giving birth!"
"Her Royal Highness is still the best. She spoke for us women. She said that we can only get married after the age of sixteen so that we can have a good birth. She also asked the imperial doctor to help us think of a way. In the future, it won't be so scary to have children … Unlike that guy surnamed Han. He said that the role of us women is to give birth to children. Her Royal Highness was so angry that she took a knife to scare him. She was even locked up by His Majesty. Tell me, why is there no reason for us women in this world …"
She wanted to say something more, but was pulled by the people next to her. A woman came over and whispered, "Don't talk too much, Grandma Sun, Grandma Sun's thirteen year old daughter died a few days ago due to a difficult birth …"
"Ah …" The woman's expression changed and she didn't dare to speak anymore.
The old woman stood there in a daze. The basket in her hand fell to the ground. After a moment, a cry suddenly came from the crowd.
"My poor Lian 'er!"
"My, my Xiao Feng, my Xiao Feng just got pregnant a few days ago. She, she's only thirteen!" At the edge of the crowd, another woman's expression changed …
…
…
For the men of the capital, today was destined to be an unforgettable day.
He did not know why his wife, who was usually gentle and virtuous, had a sorrowful expression on her face today. She did not speak much. She was usually irritable and easily angered, but today, she became even more severe. If she did something wrong, she would be reprimanded, and if it was serious, she would be beaten and scolded …
Rumor had it that Butcher Zhang, who lived in the east of the city, was straddled by his fierce wife on the street. Butcher Zhang's wife was even sturdier than his family's pigs. Rumor had it that Old Zhang fainted on the spot and was now clamoring to divorce his wife!
Also, when a group of women walked past the door just now, the old woman who was walking in front was crying and saying something like, "Old Thief Han, give me back my daughter!" Those women were all panting with rage, and they didn't look like they were easy to deal with. What, what were they doing?
Could it be that Old Thief Han had defiled this old woman's daughter, and she was going to go to his door to seek justice?
This … this was really going to be a good show to watch!
Thus, many people walked out of their homes and followed those women …
In the indoor playground of the Li Residence, Fang was bare-chested, and with one hand, he was rocking the improved rocking car. His face was not red, and he was not panting. The Palace Guard outside the door stared at him with his eyes wide open.
He had tried that thing before, and it required two hands to swing it with great difficulty. It didn't take long before he couldn't stand it anymore, but this man …
This arm strength … if he were to hit him with a punch, even a black bear would die!
Fang had been rocking the rocking car with one hand for almost an hour. This was his daily homework. Even if the little girl wasn't here, he could casually throw a heavy object on the car, and he would be rocking it for several hours.
At this moment, the expression on his face was somewhat gloomy. His wife, Old Xu's wife, and a few others went to the streets to buy jewelry, and when they came back, it was as if they had changed into different people. The way they looked at him was a little strange. If he hadn't sneaked away early, he would have been chased out of the house by his wife with a broom in hand, just like Old Xu.
"Could it be … that she found out that I hid some money to buy bracelets for Little Red?"
Just as Fang was panicking, a few servant girls in the residence also gathered together and whispered.
"I heard that women can only have children after the age of 16. Is that true?" A servant girl gossiped.
Another servant girl curled her lips and said, "Nonsense. I have a distant cousin who got married at the age of 13 and gave birth a few months later."
"Is it okay? I heard that it's not good for women to have children too early, and it's easy for them to suffer from chronic diseases," a servant girl said.
That servant girl shook her head and said, "The chronic diseases didn't … It's just that she died because of a difficult birth."
Xiao Huan hid behind them with a pale face. Hearing this, she couldn't listen anymore. She coughed lightly and said, "What are you all doing here? Hurry up and go to work. If you continue to be lazy, your pay will be deducted!"
The servant girls were already familiar with this lady's servant girl and knew that she was just scaring them. Xiao Qing, who was bold, went over and whispered, "Sister Xiao Huan, when do you think our Lord Jue will take you in as a concubine?"
"What are you talking about …" Xiao Huan's pretty face blushed. She grabbed the corner of her clothes and said shyly, "I, I will only be 16 in a few months …"
…
…
Her Royal Highness was grounded in the Morning Dew Hall and couldn't step out of the hall.
Li Yi stood at the door of the Morning Dew Hall. When he was about to enter, he was stopped by the guards at the door.
"Apologies, County Uncle Li. Her Royal Highness is still grounded. No one can enter." The guard's attitude towards him was still very good.
"Can't you make an exception?" Li Yi took out the Secret Intelligence Division's sign and said.
"Apologies, Sir, this subordinate really can't let you in." The guard smiled bitterly.
"Alright then." Li Yi waved his hand. He was only a small guard and considered his subordinate. It was better not to make things difficult for him.
Not long after, the guard's expression was troubled. "Princess, Her Royal Highness, you …"
The proud Lolita raised her little face and said, "I can't go in?"
"Yes!" The guard weighed in his heart whether he could afford to offend this young lady or not. In the next moment, he immediately nodded.
His Majesty only grounded the Eldest Princess. He didn't say that others couldn't visit. In principle, even if he let Princess Shouning in, it wouldn't be disobeying orders.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Li Yi, who had his arms crossed and was looking at him with a mocking expression.
"Grounded?" Li Yi looked at the guard. "No one can go in?"
The guard's face was full of embarrassment. Seeing that Li Yi had already walked into the hall, he hurriedly said, "Sir, Sir … you, you can't take this wine in."
"Is this wine?" Li Yi glanced at him and said, "This is a new perfume. It's for Her Royal Highness to try …"
The guard watched him walk in, and his expression became even more bitter.
With such a prodigal woman at home, when would she release a new perfume, what flavor it would be, how much it would cost, and how much he could save from the membership price? Didn't he know?
Besides, who would use a wine jar to contain perfume?
To say the least, he was carrying something wrapped in lotus leaves in his other hand. The fragrance could be smelled from afar. Who would dare to say that it wasn't the Beggar's Chicken that was popular in the capital a few days ago?
In the spacious courtyard of the rear hall of the Morning Dew Hall, Princess Royal Highness was dressed in a slim suit, which undoubtedly revealed her exquisite figure. Even Li Yi couldn't see the sword dance in her hand. Her movements were smooth and casual, and she didn't seem to be grounded at all.
Seeing Li Yi come in, she put down her sword and walked straight over. She took the wine jar in his hand, opened it, and raised her head to drink it.
"It's not easy to take egg fried rice. Just make do with it." Li Yi tore off a chicken leg and handed it to her. The other one had already been snatched by the proud Lolita.
Since she learned from Li Yi that she wouldn't get fat no matter how much she ate these days, her mouth was rarely idle.
