Chapter 434 Who Do You Like?

"People's hearts are complicated and it's hard to explain clearly." Yan Li said calmly, "In addition to men, there are women who embarrass women, and there are also men and women who suppress women."

Chu Qinqin sighed: "Fortunately, Xuan Xuan is big-hearted and doesn't care about these things and is not affected by rumors. Otherwise, wouldn't a woman's good life be wasted in the hands of such a bad person?"

Yan Li frowned: "She has a good attitude and is not affected by rumors. It does not mean that the harm of rumors does not exist."

Chu Qinqin was silent.

The harm does exist, but as women, what can they do?

This world is inherently unfair to women.

If there is inappropriate behavior between men and women, everyone will blame the woman. If a woman is insulted and violated, she will be hurt physically and mentally and have to bear the strange looks of everyone.

It is natural for men to have groups of wives and concubines. It is normal to go to flower houses, drink wine, and have a romantic night.

As long as a man sees a little bit of her skin, or even has a little intimate contact with a man under forced circumstances, she will be scolded for being immodest, and even forced to give her body to him.

Many things are obviously men's fault, but who would really blame men and punish men?

Concepts that have been held for thousands of years are not so easily changed.

Chu Qinqin knew in her heart that although the eldest princess's thunderous skills could make men restrain their behavior, the concept of male superiority and female inferiority was deeply ingrained and fused with flesh and blood. It could not be overturned overnight.

"It is true that corrupt and outdated concepts cannot be changed in a short period of time. The system is open and inclusive like that of the South, but in fact it is only relatively equal. Their powerful men can still have three wives and four concubines. Men can set foot in brothels and hook up in a fair and just manner, but women cannot. ." Yan Li seemed to understand Chu Qinqin's thoughts, "So it is impossible to be completely equal. It can only get better little by little. If it is better than this year next year, it will be a success if it is better than now. "

Chu Qinqin nodded: "The eldest princess is right."

"I will go to the Xuan family to visit Xuan Xuan early tomorrow morning. You can come with me." Yan Li raised her eyes, "I just have a rest for the past two days, so we can sit and drink tea together."

"Yes." Chu Qinqin nodded and couldn't help laughing, "Xuanxuan is probably going to be exhausted during this period. I wish someone would go and see her."

The second prince's injury has not yet recovered. Although he brought it upon himself, as the murderer who stabbed the prince, Xuan Xuan was not easy to show off.

Who makes the difference between king and minister?

The emperor and the queen turned a blind eye because the second prince was wronged first. However, no matter what the reason was, assassinating the prince was the following crime. There is nothing wrong with keeping a low profile.

One is injured and the other is recovering from illness.

No one can hold them accountable.

Now that he understood the whole story of the Xuan family, Yan Li asked Chu Qinqin about her marriage: "Mrs. Chu didn't tell you about her marriage?"

Chu Qinqin was silent for a moment, with a slight blush on her pretty face: "My daughter's marriage may still need to be decided by the eldest princess."

"Me?" Yan Li raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of deep thought on her face, "Who do you have your eye on?"

"The general named Qin from the eldest princess's residence."

Yan Li was surprised: "Qin Shiyuan?"

Chu Qinqin lowered her eyebrows and nodded: "Yes."

Yan Li was silent for a moment and told the truth: "If we just talk about marriage, I think Chen Qingfeng is more suitable for you than Qin Shiyuan."

Judging from the current situation in Jin State, Chu Qinqin's marriage is indeed a bit difficult to decide.

Mr. Chu occupies an important position in the court. He is a second-rank official in the court, so his status goes without saying.

Chu Qinqin was his legitimate daughter. The marriage should have been considered two years ago and she should have been selected from the many young men from aristocratic families with similar status and family backgrounds in the Jin Kingdom.

Or she is fully qualified to marry a prince as a concubine.

But too many things happened in the Jin Kingdom from a year ago to now. Not only did the four princes have troubles one after another, but the ministers of various factions who supported them were also more or less responsible.

At this time, it was not just Chu Qinqin, but all the ministers who remained neutral in the court or were loyal to the queen would find it difficult to get married if they had daughters and sons of marriageable age at home.

Because there are too many people involved, the originally suitable candidates have become inappropriate because of their positions.

Yan Li leaned on the brocade couch with a thoughtful expression on his face.

In fact, she was not surprised that Chu Qinqin liked Qin Shiyuan, because the Chu family currently had very few candidates to choose from, and those who were too low would be disdainful to them.

Those who are too tall are either in decline or there are no marriageable men.

The Xuan family's Xuan Nanfeng is suitable, but since ancient times civil and military officials did not get married.

The Chu family is a family of important ministers who hold real power in the court, while the Xuan family is a family of military generals who hold military power. Once civil and military forces get married, which emperor can guarantee that they will always be suppressed?

But Qin Shiyuan was different from the Xuan family.

He was from the eldest princess's palace, with only a thousand soldiers and horses under his command, and he obeyed Yan Li's orders. Qin Shiyuan was a follower from the Mu Kingdom and had no power background in the Jin Kingdom.

If Chu Qinqin marries Qin Shiyuan, it will firstly declare that the Chu family will always be loyal to the eldest princess, and secondly, it will also reassure people.

Yan Li has a clear mind, how could he not think of this?

"General Chen is indeed more suitable." Chu Qinqin nodded and objectively evaluated Chen Qingfeng and Qin Shiyuan, "General Chen is a native of Jin after all. He has a greater sense of belonging to Jin than General Qin, and he has an elegant appearance. He also has a gentle personality, but I think General Qin is more masculine."

Yan Li raised his eyes slightly: "Have you thought it through?"

"General Qin came to Jin alone, and the population is simple. If I can marry him, there will be no complicated mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship in the future, and I don't have to abide by too many inner house rules." Chu Qinqin seemed to have thought about the advantages and disadvantages clearly. At this moment, her tone was light and she had a little smile on her face, "I really hate those complicated inner house relationships."

"What does Lord Chu say?"

"Father actually prefers General Chen." Chu Qinqin sighed, "He is the head of the family and an official in the court, so he naturally pays more attention to the family and future of his future son-in-law."

Yan Li didn't say anything.

Chen Qingfeng, Qin Shiyuan and Yang Yi have not yet married. Now that Jin has settled down, it is time for them to start a family and build a career.

But marriage requires mutual consent.

Yan Li said: "I will ask Qin Shiyuan for you. If he agrees, I will ask him to choose an auspicious day to go to the Chu family to propose marriage."

"Thank you, Princess." Chu Qinqin stood up and saluted Yan Li with a little girlish shyness, "If he disagrees, then it will be as if I have never mentioned this matter."
