Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

However, the relaxation of the standards for female households is not only related to the gender of the head of the household, but also to national policies such as granting land, taxation, and labor. It is definitely not something that the emperor can relax upon Li Baolu's request.

Compared to the two requests she made before - reopening the women's school and making Qin Wenyin a first-class wife, this request is really too difficult.

But the queen mother did not express any objection, and the emperor did not refuse, indicating that they recognized Li Baolu's request.

I just disagree with the second point she added.

Li Baolu wants to open a technical school for girls to teach them skills so that they can gain a foothold. And if it can get the support of the court or the royal family, the development of the technical school will be fast and stable.

The queen mother disagreed, she said: "The relaxation of the standards for female households has attracted the attention of the world. If the imperial court clearly supports the technical school, then the world should have doubts. I know what you think, women are too difficult, and you are just I want them to live a better life, and I agree with it in my heart. But it would be bad if it caused disputes and weakened the country's strength."

It means that both the queen mother and the emperor are willing to support the improvement of women's status, but if this makes the court uneasy.

After all, they are still unwilling to do too much for women, or they feel that it is not worth it.

It's not surprising that Li Baolu laughed at herself in her heart, because the world is like this, even the knowledgeable queen mother who is a woman says this, let alone others?

Li Baolu smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Madam, Baolu knows what to do."

The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction. Although Li Baolu is delicate and simple, she is also smart, and talking to smart people is not tiring.

The queen mother raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Wenyin, hinting that even if Li Baolu didn't understand, Qin Wenyin would mention her, which is why the queen mother summoned their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at the same time.

Moreover, the queen mother did not say anything, but she agreed with and envied the two of them in her heart.

Not to mention Li Baolu, with Gu Jingyun's approval, he became a teacher of Qingxi Academy at a young age. This kind of freedom is something that many women in the world can't dream of.

And even though Qin Wenyin had a hard life in the first half of her life, now she has got her wish. Needless to say, the Qin family and the Gu family, even Bai Yitang dotes on her, whether she stays in Qingxi Academy to teach, or goes out to play, Bai Yitang will follow her.

This is so precious to the queen mother who is in the deep palace and can never leave the palace unless she dies.

She is the empress dowager, and it is not easy to express her position clearly on some matters, but she does not object or criticize, which is her greatest encouragement to them.

The queen mother glanced at An An, who was yawning in her arms and turned her head to find her mother to sleep, and said with a smile: "The banquet ahead is about to begin, do you think you should keep An An here to sleep with me, or take her with you?"

Li Baolu was silent for a while, thinking of her daughter's violent temper, she still said: "Take her, her father wants to see her."

In case she couldn't find the overturned palace when she was looking for her.

The queen mother smiled slightly, handed An'an to Baolu, helped the maid's hand to stand up, and said with a smile: "Then let's go."

The Queen Mother took Qin Wenyin and Li Baolu to the Imperial Garden. This year's Mid-Autumn Palace hosted a lot of people, so the queen put the banquet venue in the imperial garden.

The Guangling Hall and viewing platform next to the imperial garden were vacated to place seats. After eating, everyone can move to the imperial garden to enjoy singing and dancing, flowers and the moon.

Not only did the emperor have important things to announce today, but the queen also wanted to see when the second prince would be a lady.

At this time, although the banquet has not yet started, everyone is here. The emperor and the queen prince are sitting in the apse and told the second prince one by one, "When you see a girl you like, write down the name, and let your mother go to investigate later." .Our family doesn’t look at family status, only looks at appearance. As long as you like it, and your character is decent.”

The second prince blushed and nodded, but he couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart, his words were just nice, if he really chose a commoner woman, his father, queen and queen would definitely not be willing.

Of course their family doesn't look at their family status, because if they want to look at their family status, who can be worthy of their family?

The second prince pretended to be shy, looked down at his toes and said nothing.

The emperor and empress thought their son was really shy, so they happily gave up the space to the three brothers to let them talk about themselves. Before leaving, he gave the prince a suggestive look, asking him and the second child to find out about his preferences.

The prince smiled and nodded slightly, and when his parents went out, he turned his head and saw the second child with his head down, pretending to be shy, so he slapped him, "Okay, stop pretending, father and queen are gone."

The third prince also revived with full blood and raised his head, bumped the second prince with his elbow and said: "Second brother, what kind of do you like? The queen mother asks me every day. You are obviously the one who wants a daughter-in-law. ask me?"

The second prince rolled his eyes and said: "I'm still young, and the imperial doctor has already said that it's best for a man to marry after reaching the crown. What are you in a hurry for?"

"We are not in a hurry," the prince said, "It is the emperor and the queen who are in a hurry."

"I already have the emperor's grandson and the emperor's granddaughter, why are you in such a hurry to get me married?" The second prince said, "I don't want to marry, and I don't like any of the girls outside."

After all, he flicked his sleeves and left.

The third prince is still a well-behaved little prince, he didn't understand what's so annoying about just going to see the beautiful second brother.

The prince patted the ignorant younger brother, and said helplessly: "Let's go, the banquet is about to begin."

After the two of them went out, a servant came to report that the Queen Mother had also arrived. Their family is going out together.

Qin Wenyin and Li Baolu had already entered the banquet hall first, found their seats and sat down.

An An was the youngest among the female relatives present. It was the first time she saw so many people, she looked around curiously, and was very excited.

It was obviously the first time for the rest of the people to see such a young child brought to the palace banquet, and they all looked at their mother and daughter curiously.

Even in the royal family, if the princess and prince are too young, they cannot attend the palace banquet, because they are afraid that the child will cry on the spot if they are immature.

The queen mother would imply that Li Baolu brought An An because she knew that Gu Jingyun's daughter didn't like to cry, and she was also very domineering.

Li Baolu dared to bring it because of this.

Everyone said that An An is easy to carry, and she is really easy to carry. When she was younger, she would cry when she was hungry and wet. When she was a little older, she would whine when she was hungry, when she was wet, and when she was sleepy. She can sleep on her head, and she doesn't cry anyway, so she is very well-behaved.

At this time, An An was very energetic, Li Baolu put her on his knees, and gave her the grapes on the plate, but before she handed them to her mouth, there was the sound of cleaning whips and the announcement of the servant——the emperor has arrived !

Li Baolu hurriedly hugged An'an and stood up, lined up with everyone and knelt down.

After meeting An with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Prince, Li Baolu's back was sweating, but An An thought it was funny, so she grinned and giggled.

Li Baolu almost couldn't resist touching her dumb acupoint.

At this time, everyone had already got up and was about to return to their seats. The emperor looked over when he heard the children's laughter, and couldn't help but smile when he saw An An. The smile was gentle and kind.

The servants and officials of the Ministry of Rituals, who were heartbroken by An An's laughter, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly separated to lead the men and women to sit separately.

The female relatives moved to the viewing platform, while the males stayed in the Guangling Hall.

The viewing platform is an open pavilion, and it is only at this time (four o'clock in the afternoon), and the autumn wind is cool, sitting in it is not only cool, but also can enjoy the beauty of the imperial garden.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress led the female relatives to the viewing platform, and there were four concubines sitting below them.

At present, the harem is not full, and there are more than one concubine who can attend the palace banquet with status, and two of them have given birth to the prince's children. Compared with the previous emperor, today's harem is too clean and harmonious.

The Crown Princess stood beside the Queen Mother, helping her into the arena with a smile.

As soon as the Empress Dowager sat down, she beckoned to Li Baolu, "Chunxi, bring your daughter to this palace, and see that she can eat half a bowl of rice."

Li Baolu looked up at Qin Wenyin, Qin Wenyin nodded slightly with a smile, and then Li Baolu got up holding An An.

The concubine sitting at the bottom obediently got up to make room for a seat.

Li Baolu was sitting on the lower left of the Queen Mother. An An lazily raised her eyelids to look at the queen mother, and found that they had met just now, and she had been hugged by the other party, so she smiled at her.

The Queen Mother liked it very much when she saw her. Seeing that she was still holding a grape in her small hand, she immediately chose the plump one from the plate in front of her and handed it to her, "Does An An like to eat grapes? Come, grandma will give you a bunch of grapes." pieces."

Li Baolu got up slightly and thanked An An, hugged An An and asked her to reach out to pick her up. Although she was sitting at the bottom, the position of the queen mother was three steps higher, so even if she got up half-kneeling, An An couldn't catch her. The princess watched from the side. Fearing that the queen mother would accidentally fall down, she quickly reached out to support An'an.

Her hand happened to touch Li Baolu's.

An An got the grapes, turned around and put them into her mother's arms happily, and stuffed them into her mouth without waiting for her to peel them.

Li Baolu was not worried that she would be choked, and sat back calmly. But she couldn't help but looked up at the princess.

Thinking of the coldness of the opponent's palm when they touched just now, she felt a little uneasy.

The queen watched with a smile all the time, and other people in the hall naturally paid attention to the movement here. Seeing the empress dowager's love from the inside out, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, saying that Gu Jingyun has no real power, can't be promoted, and has been a teacher and a fourth-rank Hanlin all his life.

But looking at the royal family's attitude towards their husband and wife, who would dare to despise them?

Leaving aside the fact that they have no real power, they actually live better than most people.

The queen looked at the queen mother and said with a smile: "Mother, let's have a banquet."

The Empress Dowager glanced at the Empress, and saw a court lady walking backwards away, so she knew that she was here to inform Guangling Hall that the banquet had started.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, and raised her chopsticks to indicate that everyone can start eating.

The Crown Princess glanced down at Li Baolu, then turned around and summoned a maid in a low voice to give a few orders, and within a quarter of an hour the maid quietly walked to Li Baolu with a tray, she leaned over and whispered: "Mrs. Soup and custard, you can use some for Miss Gu."

Li Baolu had been keeping an eye on the Crown Princess quietly, so she naturally recognized that this court lady was the one who left before, she was silent for a while, then nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "Thank you very much."
