Qin Shuang'er blushed, lowered his head, twisted the corners of his clothes, with an expression of shame, and whispered in a low voice: "Don't you know all about it, brother three? What else... "
Qin Mubai smiled: "Didn't the third brother be away from home for three years? How much can he remember? I don't know what happened between you. Come on, what else can I hide from my brother? "
Qin Shuang'er fluttered with big eyes and smiled shyly, nodded, and explained the matter.
It turns out that because Qin Shubao was Li Shimin’s former minister of the Qin Palace, the children of the Qin family were closer to Li Shimin’s children as early as childhood. After coming and going, Qin Shuang'er and Li Ke became childhood sweethearts. Later, when he grew up, Li Ke had the intention of Shuang'er, and the two were expected to marry, but there was a barrier between their marriage.
One of the biggest obstacles is the concept of family status. Although Qin Shubao was named Shangzhu State, Zuo Wuwei General, and Yi Guo Gong, he was born in the grass. The Li family originated from a veteran nobleman in Guanlong, and even the family of emperors. According to the secular concept, it is wrong for the two families to be improper. Qin Shuang'er was a concubine born in the side room. Compared with the noble prince Li Ke, she was extremely low.
Another obstacle is Qin Shubao. For some reason, Qin Shubao did not dislike Li Ke, but he opposed the marriage between his daughter and King Wu.
In the Zhenguan dynasty today, the concept of sect is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Although invisible and intangible, it is an insurmountable gap in people's hearts. It's like the Qin family who got up from the poor and lowly emerging giants, even if the officials are now big, they are not as noble as the old-brand officials in the eyes of the world. In addition, the marriage event, the parents ordered the matchmaker, since Qin Shubao objected, even if Li Ke is the dignified Prince of Tang, he dare not reluctantly.
In this way, Li Ke and Shuang'er have become a pair of bitter ducks. Two years ago, the seventeen-year-old Li Ke married the daughter of the former Sui royal nobleman Yang. Qin Shuang'er almost cut off the idea of marriage because of her sadness. In any case, Qin Shubao’s character would never allow it. She married as a concubine.
But the friendship formed between the two of them at a young age is hard to erase. Therefore, whether Li Ke or Qin Shuang'er, he can only communicate secretly in secret, but he dare not cross Lei Chi for half a step.
After listening to these Qin Mubai shook his head, he couldn't think of the emotional entanglement between the Fourth Sister and King Wu.
"Three brothers, why are you just shaking your head...Tell me, what should I do?" Qin Shuang'er said, Chu Chu looked at Qin Mubai with pity.
Qin Mubai smiled and said: "Silly girl, King Wu has already married a wife, even if the father agrees, would you be willing to marry and be a child (the prince's concubine)?"
In the Tang Dynasty, as in many feudal dynasties, concubines have no status or respect at all. Even if your background is noble, marrying as a concubine will be the same as the host’s livestock, and can be driven by arbitrary abuse Even buying and selling transactions. Among the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, there is a custom of exchanging concubines for fun, even the prince’s concubines are no exception.
The law of the Tang Dynasty even clearly stipulates that if the family owner and his wife killed the concubine, they can pay a fine to offset the sin. Moreover, in general, concubines cannot be righted. If the host dares to abolish his wife and concubine, he must be sentenced to exile for one and a half years.
Although the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are relatively open and the status of women is relatively high, and it is precisely this environment that led to the emergence of a unique female emperor in history, but it still cannot change the nature of this patriarchal society-concubines It is a plaything, and reality is so cruel.
Qin Shuang'er's face really changed, she lowered her head in frustration, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, and muttered: "But, I really only like him... If I can't marry him, I'm willing to die alone or It is said to be a monk."
Seeing this scene, Qin Mubai felt a slight pain in his heart.
From his perspective of the 21st century, free love is too normal. The younger sister is to Li Kekeก
