Every place has its own rules of survival. If you cannot be the one who makes them, you must abide by them. Otherwise, the final result will inevitably be that you will be swallowed up by the rules.
In a place where men have absolute power and can have three wives and four concubines, you talk about equality for everyone and equality between men and women. Isn't this a joke
The more Su Qiao thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed to her, and she actually laughed.
"Haha, that's because people outside don't know the real situation in our mansion. If they knew, the entire mansion would have become a laughing stock in the capital, and father would have become a joke in the eyes of the ministers. The emperor would even re-evaluate whether father is worthy of the important position of prime minister."
"After all, if you can't clean your own house, how can you clean the world?"
"The ruler is the guide for his subjects, the father is the guide for his sons, and the husband is the guide for his wife. If a person cannot even abide by the Three Constant Virtues and Five Principles, would the emperor trust him to hold an important position in the court?"
Throughout the dynasties, the ruling class has maintained social ethics and political systems through the education of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues.
This is tantamount to a blatant challenge to imperial power.
This matter can be considered small, but it can also be considered big. If someone uses this to complain to the emperor, I am afraid that even if he is the prime minister, he will not have a good time in front of the emperor.
"Also, father, I actually think that it's good that you kept your distance from me before. At least now I know what's right and wrong, and what's superior and inferior. I know what to say in what occasion, and where not to say anything."
"You also know that you are responsible for your own actions."
Su Qiao had a cold expression and spoke bluntly, leaving him no room or face at all.
Anyway, she doesn't have to beg him, so just offend him!
As long as it doesn't implicate her.
Su Xiang was indeed very angry at first, but the more he listened, the more shocked he became. After a while, he looked at his daughter, who had been neglected by him, with complicated eyes: "Qiao'er, you... have grown up."
Su Xiang is not a stupid person. He immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.
In fact, he had already realized something yesterday, but he was annoyed by his little daughter's crying all night, so he didn't think about it too much.
Su Qiao lowered his head and took a sip of tea, hiding the indifference in his eyes.
Yeah? She is old enough? She doesn’t need any family love like fatherly or motherly love anymore.
As for the original body, she had expectations towards her father, but she was more afraid and felt unfamiliar with him.
Su Xiang turned his head and glanced at the two little palace maids at the door, and lowered his voice slightly: "But Qiao'er? There is one thing that your father still needs to remind you."
"You saved the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince values you? That's a good thing? But you have to remember that you are already married? You need to be more careful? Don't let outsiders spread rumors that damage your reputation."
Su Qiao frowned slightly and tapped the tabletop with his fingers: "Father, don't you think that given the current situation, it would be better for my daughter not to get married?"
At the banquet yesterday, Xi Hanzhou had publicly denied that she was already married, and the emperor did not express his opinion at that time.
Su Qiao wanted to take advantage of the situation and create some rumors to deny the previous rumors.
Anyway, the emperor has not issued an official decree.
Prime Minister Su shook his head and said softly, "The Crown Prince has become more and more violent in recent years. The ministers have long been resentful of him. If he continues like this, I'm afraid..."
No matter how much the emperor dotes on the prince, he will not tolerate a tyrannical, bloodthirsty and immoral person sitting on the throne, unless he disregards the country and the people.
Nowadays, it’s just that the disappointments have not accumulated enough.
Before he finished speaking, Su Xiang believed that his smart daughter should understand what he meant.
