Xiao Tao hesitated to speak and observed Tang Yu's expression.

Tang Yu naturally had no expression, and even his heart was calm.

"Why, do you think I'll be sad and lonely?"

Xiao Tao didn't say anything. All the women in the inner court that she had seen, whether she was in the town when she was a child or in the Prince's Mansion, were like this. The women in the inner court fought and schemed for a man every day.

They targeted each other like enemies.

If a woman is not loved by a man, she will be like a withered flower, as if she has lost her vitality.

If you see a man favoring another woman, it would be even more serious. There are many who even die of depression.

It seems that women are born to depend on the favor of a man, especially those in the harem.

Tang Yu smiled and shook his head, "What you saw was just a woman whose thoughts were suppressed, so she behaved in a way that seemed to be fighting for the man's favor. Of course, it is possible that some women are born with more affection than others, so they care about a man's every move. Moreover, women have been taught since childhood to regard their husbands as their heaven, and their thoughts are confined."

"But there are still many women in the harem who have realized the reality after being married for a few years. But do you know why they still fight after realizing the reality?"

Xiaoyuan and Xiaotao felt that what their master said was too profound and they could not quite understand.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion.

Tang Yu continued.

"Because women have no living space, let me ask you two, if women could show their faces in public, open shops, go to private schools and take exams like men, and see a wider world, then an eagle that has seen how vast the earth is and how free the sky is, would not be willing to be trapped in a cage."

"Men try their best to limit women's abilities because they are afraid that women will no longer rely on them. Therefore, women should follow the three obediences and four virtues, women should regard their husbands as the heaven, women should bear children, and women should support their husbands and raise their children. Do you understand?"

"So what women are fighting for may seem like a man's affection, but in reality it's a chance to survive. Do they all love the man? In fact, no. It's just that they have no choice and cannot resist, so they can only be trapped in that small world and fight endlessly."

Xiaoyuan and Xiaotao seemed to understand but not quite, but they still felt that what their master said was right.

Tang Yu glanced at the two of them and said, "Think about it carefully and you will understand."

The master and his servants had a pleasant conversation here, and the atmosphere was warm.

Over in the Xingyue Palace, Nanny Chen looked like a frost-bitten eggplant ever since she came back from her trip. She had absolutely no energy at all.

Tang Wanrou originally wanted to talk to Nanny Chen about the flower-viewing banquet three days later. This was a date set by the ancestors. Although it was not a large-scale banquet, it was held only in the family residence and only family members would attend.

But she still wanted to do it well and beautifully.

In this way, the Queen Mother will like her more and more, see her good side, and it will be easier for her to ascend to the throne of Queen in the future.

Especially now with the comparison of Concubine Wan, she has to do it beautifully to show her magnanimity as the Crown Princess.

Tang Wanrou gently stroked her pregnant belly and frowned as she asked the first-class maid Xiaoting beside her. When Nanny Chen was not around, it was Xiaoting that Tang Wanrou trusted the most, "Where did Nanny Chen go? Why hasn't she come back for so long?"

Xiao Ting was equally loyal to Tang Wanrou, and was confused when she heard this, "To answer the Crown Princess, Nanny Chen just said that someone from her family came to see her urgently, so she should be back soon.
