Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Meng Xiyue lowered her eyes, not daring to look him in the eye.

"My Lord, if I suddenly disappeared one day, what would you do?"

“It won’t disappear.”

Xie Junyi spoke with confidence, as if everything was under his control.

He has always been such a confident person. He is in control of everything, including her.

"I mean suddenly, something weird happened, or my body was still there, but my soul was not."

I never thought about going back, nor did I think about these issues.

Now that there is a possibility of returning, she can't help but wonder in what form she will return.

Rong Zhi traveled through time and space via soul, so she should also go back as a soul. As for me, I traveled through time and space via fetus, so this body is also mine.

If she goes back, she will probably take her body with her.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you thinking about these things?" Xie Junyi gently stroked her hair.

"As long as I am here, you will not disappear. Even if you do disappear, I will find you back."

"Your Highness, I saw a magical world in my dream." Meng Xiyue spoke slowly.

"There are cars that can travel a thousand miles a day, people can fly in the sky and swim in the water, and two people who are thousands of miles apart can talk face to face through an instrument."

"Men and women are equal there. Women can go to school and become officials, and men can only marry one wife."

This was the second time Meng Xiyue told him about the world of equality between men and women, and his eyes darkened.

“Is that world in heaven?”

"Maybe." Meng Xiyue looked up at the sky, "Maybe in a certain star."

"Do all the men in that world manage to marry only one wife?"

"Yes, polygamy is illegal, but some men also keep mistresses, which is similar to having a concubine. This behavior is shameful, and the mistress will be abused by everyone."

Rong Zhi said that after her mother died, she received no sympathy from anyone and everyone thought she deserved it.

Being a mistress and giving birth to an illegitimate child should not have a good ending.

"It is shameful to have a concubine." Xie Junyi said softly, "If you like her, just marry her openly."

"But they can only marry one. They are reluctant to give up the dignity and resources that their original wife brings them, and they are also reluctant to give up the love and affection of their lover."

Meng Xiyue sneered, "Like now, don't many men of high status and power marry a wife whose status and background match theirs, and then marry many beautiful concubines?"

"Everyone has a different identity, and the values ​​they embody are naturally different. It is too difficult to find a wife that you like and that matches your identity."

"It's not difficult at all. It's just that you want too much. You want power, beauty, and everything."

Seeing that Meng Xiyue was getting more and more excited, how could he not understand what she meant.

He is also the one who wants both power and beauty, but what can I do? It is impossible to get him to let go.

He didn't want to have an unpleasant argument with her on this topic. "The world in dreams is fake. You need to live in the present and stop imagining nonsense all the time."

"Are they all fake?" Meng Xiyue muttered to herself, "You're right, they're all fake."

Noticing her abnormality, Xie Junyi coaxed her to sleep and then called Ziye.

"What happened to her today?"

Although he didn't mention anyone by name, Ziye knew who he was asking about. Apart from Miss Meng, the prince was not interested in other people's affairs at the moment.

"Your Highness, after the girl had looked at the yard, she met a thief on the street and was rescued by a woman. To thank her, the girl invited her to dinner and then returned."

It seemed that there was no problem. Xie Junyi frowned and said, "Who is that woman? She said something she shouldn't have said to Yue'er."

"The woman's name is Rong Zhi. She is the daughter of a merchant from Nanzhou. She and the maidservants around her are both highly skilled in martial arts."

"The secret guards were afraid of being discovered, so they didn't dare to get close. I don't know what they said. But when they were in the private room, Rong Zhi and Miss Meng suddenly drove all the servants out. The two talked for a long time inside. When they came out, the girl's eyes were still a little red."

"Nanzhou?" Xie Junyi's jade-like fingers tapped on the table again and again.

There is no way that a Nanzhou and a Qingyun City could be related.

Rong Zhi was a woman, and even if she knew martial arts, she did not have the courage that an average merchant girl would have to bring her maid all the way to the capital.

"Investigate Rong Zhi thoroughly."

"Yes."

Xie Junyi stood up, walked to the window, and looked up at the starry sky.

Meng Xiyue was clearly right beside him, but the feeling of not being able to hold her was becoming stronger and stronger.

next day

As promised, Meng Xiyue and Rong Zhi came to the Huguo Temple.

Today was the first day of the new year, and they happened to happen to have the master giving a lecture. When they arrived, the Huguo Temple was already packed with people.

Yes, in modern times, on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, temples are packed with people, let alone in ancient times when people believed in gods and Buddhas.

Rong Zhi pulled her forward and brought them to a monk.

Qiu'er hurried forward, took out her purse and handed it to the monk.

"Amitabha, what do you want, donor?"

"We want to see the host."

The monk nodded and said, "Please follow me, benefactor."

Meng Xiyue didn't expect that it would be so easy to meet an enlightened monk. She was excited but also a little nervous.

Rong Zhi has been searching for two years, and this is their last hope to return.

They followed the monk, turning left and right, and finally came to a courtyard. They saw that the courtyard was full of people, all of whom came to worship Buddha. There was no sign of the abbot.

"Where is the host?" Rong Zhi was a little unhappy.

The monk smiled and said, "These people are here to see the abbot. Please wait here for half an hour. The abbot will finish the sutra and he will come at that time."

"Can he meet so many people?"

The credibility of this eminent monk was immediately discounted.

This is clearly a scam to defraud the money from incense donations.

"The host won't meet everyone. Your names will be passed up, and it all depends on fate whether you meet or not."

The monk bowed slightly towards them and said, "Amitabha, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, he left, leaving Meng Xiyue and Rong Zhi and the people in the same yard looking at each other in bewilderment.

Meng Xiyue said in a low voice, "Why don't we go back first? I feel this is so unreliable."

How can a great monk do things like this? He thinks he is the emperor and can summon anyone he wants.

"Wait a minute. Now that you're here, you have to meet me no matter what."

Nan Rongzhi had already made up her mind that she would meet the master regardless of whether she wanted to or not.

She traveled thousands of miles and waited in the capital for a month. If he didn't show up today, she would break in to see him.

"Ok."

Meng Xiyue nodded and waited with her.
