The Regent's Little Wife

"Ning'er... I called you here this time to ask you, now that you are an adult, do you have a lover? In addition, your harem is empty, this is not okay! Even if you don't want to appoint a queen now, you should at least have a few concubines to take care of your daily life, right?" The Empress Dowager advised earnestly.

Si Ning frowned slightly and explained to the Empress Dowager: "Grandma, you also know that my grandson has just ascended the throne for only half a year, and his foundation is not yet solid. At this moment, my grandson only wants to go all out to stabilize the court. As for the love affair, you can put it aside for the time being."

The Empress sighed deeply, shook her head helplessly, and said with deep emotion: "How come you are so similar to your mother! Fortunately, your mother listened to my advice and married your father and gave birth to you. Otherwise, how could this country be passed on?"

Si Ning blinked and asked in confusion: "I have two older brothers! Don't other countries pass the throne to men? It's okay to pass it to my two brothers, right?"

The Empress Dowager smiled bitterly, patted Si Ning's hand, and explained: "Ning'er, our Si Dynasty has a history of more than 500 years. Our ancestors have long established the rule that the throne must be passed down to daughters and not sons. Moreover, the successor must be a legitimate daughter. These are the rules set by our ancestors and cannot be changed. Look at other countries, they have perished in just two or three hundred years, and the reason why our country has been able to survive for such a long time is precisely because we have always adhered to the rules of our ancestors!"

Si Ning was very confused by Si Chao's rule of passing the throne to daughters instead of sons. In ancient society, male inheritance and bloodline inheritance were usually emphasized, but Si Chao did the opposite. After a woman inherited the throne, she would choose a husband to become the Phoenix Queen, and pass the throne to their daughters, and so on. Although it has been nearly 500 years now and the original bloodline has long been difficult to trace, this rule is still strictly followed.

Perhaps this was set by the ancestors of Si Chao, and it is hard to understand why they made such a decision. However, these traditions have continued to this day and have become a unique system of Si Chao.

In addition, the Si Dynasty also had a special rule: the empress must be the legitimate daughter of the previous empress and Empress Feng to succeed to the throne. Fortunately, in the past 500 years, there were 16 empresses in the Si Dynasty, and they all successfully gave birth to legitimate daughters.

In addition, because Si Chao valued women and despised men, the ministers in the court also followed this rule. Even other countries gradually followed suit after hearing about the special system of Si Chao.

In this magical plane, men cannot have three wives and four concubines and have fun like in other places! They must stay at home after marriage, and even going out for fun is forbidden! Moreover, each man can only marry one woman in his life, and there is absolutely no such thing as divorce. Of course, women have the right to divorce their husbands, but the premise is that the other party really does something unbearable, such as betraying the marriage or losing fertility.

There is one thing that is absolutely intolerable - beating your wife! If a man dares to beat his wife, the consequences will be very serious. The wife can immediately report the case to the government, and once the case is verified, the husband will be beaten to death! So here, there is no so-called "domestic violence" phenomenon at all.

Usually, after a couple gets married, the man will stay at home to take care of his wife and children, while the wife will go out to earn money to support the family. Of course, some open-minded couples will choose to go out and work together to make money.

It is said that these traditional rules have been passed down for hundreds of years, and people have long been accustomed to them. After all, they have been educated in this way since childhood, so naturally they don’t find it strange!

Si Ning thought that these strange rules were passed down by our ancestors, and wondered if these ancestors had traveled through time and space. This was pure feminism.

Si Ning held the Empress's hand and said coquettishly: "Grandma, I know! Don't worry, when the situation in the court stabilizes, I will definitely enthrone the Empress. Don't worry anymore~"

Grandma Huang looked at her cute and well-behaved grandson with a heart full of love. She gently stroked Si Ning's head and responded softly: "Okay, okay, you are still young and have just come of age. Just take your time."

Si Ning nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. The Queen Mother then reminded: "By the way, you should discuss things with the Regent more often in the future. Also, have you not seen your father for a few months?"

Si Ning thought for a moment and replied, "Well, it seems like we haven't seen each other for quite a while."

The Empress Dowager frowned and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Your father, since your mother passed away, he has ignored you and stayed in the Imperial Mausoleum to accompany your mother all day. After your mother passed away, he didn't even attend your coming-of-age ceremony. It's really outrageous. When was the last time you met? Oh, I remember, it should be on your birthday, right?"

Si Ning recalled and nodded in agreement. The Empress Dowager continued, "Calculating the time, you haven't seen each other for almost a year, right? Since he doesn't want to return to the palace, you should take the initiative and visit him at the Imperial Mausoleum. However, you must pay attention to maintaining the dignity of the emperor and let him know his status. When you were in the most difficult time, he chose to evade his responsibilities and ran to the Imperial Mausoleum, which was really disappointing."

Si Ning listened carefully to Grandma Huang's words, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

The heroine's father, this so-called father rarely appeared in the previous life. Even when Si Ning died, his father did not appear.

In her previous life, when the heroine was still a prince, she was full of curiosity about her life experience. Especially for the so-called father, she always felt that he was very mysterious. And the story about him started a long, long time ago.

It is said that the last empress met the heroine's father during a winter hunt. Si Chao is located in the northeast region, where the winter is extremely cold, so Si Chao has a tradition of winter hunting.

It was a cold winter day, and the empress went out hunting with many ministers. In the ice and snow, Si Ning's mother accidentally fell into a deep snow hole. Just when she thought she was on the verge of death, a mysterious man appeared and saved her. This man was Si Ning's father - Chen Han.

When Si Ning's mother saw Chen Han for the first time, she fell deeply in love with him. She decided to bring him back to the palace and spend the rest of her life with him. Soon after, they fell in love. However, when Si Ning's mother proposed the idea of ​​enthroning Chen Han as the Queen, she was strongly opposed by everyone in the court. Even the Queen Mother firmly disagreed with this marriage.

It turned out that Chen Han did not have a prominent family background, and his parents were just doing some small business. But the empress at that time had extremely high power in the court. She ignored everyone's dissuasion and insisted on enthroning Chen Han as the Queen and made him the Grand Tutor of the court.

Chen Han, a young man who has shown extraordinary talent since childhood, has quietly shone in the palace with his wisdom and diligence since the day he became Queen Phoenix.

The next year, he resolutely stepped into the torrent of imperial examinations. With his profound knowledge and keen insight, he won the first place in one fell swoop. Not only did he shock the court and the public, but he also speechless those ministers who had complained about his status, and completely won their respect and admiration.
