Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire private room fell into complete silence.

The group exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with complex emotions.

They looked at Ling Yan with astonishment, unsure of what to say.

They understood and agreed with the other conditions.

But this last one.

He cannot take a concubine.

A couple for a lifetime?

They thought it was simply a fantasy.

In a world where male dominance and polygamy are the norm, such a vow is nothing more than a mirage, unattainable.

Throughout history, how many people have truly achieved this?

Based on what each of them had seen over the years, not a single man did not take a concubine after marriage.

Right now, all they know is Prince Rui.

But once he ascends to that position, he will also take concubines.

Therefore, no man can abide by the last rule.

Lingyan could tell what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions.

So he smiled and reminded her, "What kind of expressions are those? I understand what you're thinking, but we're not asking Zhiyi to choose a husband based on these standards. We're just asking her to get rid of these suitors. Do you think anyone will dare to propose after these conditions are set?"

The group then snapped out of their reverie.

that's true.

Xie Zhiyi was overjoyed and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Your Highness is amazing! With this condition, no one will dare to come, and I can finally live a peaceful life. Your Highness, you are so clever!"

Seeing her overjoyed expression, Lingyan then reminded her, "However, once you make this condition, it will inevitably affect you in the future. People think your condition is so harsh that it may hinder your marriage. You should think carefully about whether you want to do this."

Xie Zhiyi replied indifferently, "It doesn't matter. If someone truly loves me, how could they be scared away by these conditions? Anyone who can be scared away is definitely not sincere."

This girl is always so clear-headed, rational, and insightful.

Lingyan looked at her with a smile, feeling extremely gratified and moved.

Upon hearing this, the others all nodded with smiles, their eyes sparkling with agreement and resonance.

And so the matter was settled.

Xie Zhiyi couldn't wait any longer and immediately ordered her maid to return to the mansion and tell her father to release the news immediately.

After the maid left, Xie Zhiyi's gloom vanished, replaced by a long-lost sense of ease and relief.

She then turned to the others besides Lingyan and asked, "What conditions do you have for your future husbands?"

The Ninth Princess replied first: "I'll go first! First of all, he must be good-looking; second, he must love me very much; third, he must always give in to me, make me happy, and buy me all kinds of delicious food; and finally, he must be able to beat me."

Everyone burst out laughing upon hearing this.

How do I explain these conditions?

She really is the Ninth Princess.

Although this person is hard to find, we will definitely find him.

Then, the Eighth Princess continued, "Like the Ninth Sister, first of all, he must be good-looking; second, he must treat me very well, always put me first, and know how to respect me and not yell at me; finally, he must love and care for my family."

After listening, Lingyan expressed her agreement with the Eighth Princess's criteria for choosing a spouse.

It means knowing how to respect her and putting her first in everything.

Then the Seventh Princess spoke up, saying, "Like my two younger sisters, firstly, you must be able to satisfy me in terms of appearance. Secondly, you cannot be too domineering or chauvinistic. You cannot favor your concubines over your wife. You cannot be muddle-headed. You must be intelligent and rational enough."

Well, how should I put it about the Seventh Princess's conditions?

She is different from the Eighth and Ninth Princesses.

They also have the thoughts of young girls, wanting their partners to reciprocate their feelings.

But the Seventh Princess had no such intention at all.

Her condition was based solely on the conditions of a legal wife.

It means that two people should respect each other when living together. It is acceptable to take a concubine, but one should not favor the concubine over the wife.

She should be given enough dignity and respect as a legal wife, and she should also learn to distinguish right from wrong. She can't be muddle-headed and lack her own judgment.

However, we cannot let the other party make all the decisions, nor can we let them have the final say. They must have their own thoughts and opinions.

She glanced at the Seventh Princess.

He's the same age as her, so why does someone who's only fifteen have such outdated ideas?

Everything is seen clearly and thoroughly.

The Seventh Princess responded with a gentle smile.

The others looked at the Seventh Princess with admiration but didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Xie Zhiyi spoke up, drawing everyone's attention to her.

She smiled and said, "First of all, I must be good-looking, that's a must. Secondly, like the two princesses, he must love me very much and be obedient to me in every way. Then, we must be of the same mind. He cannot favor his concubine over his wife and must love me and treat me well as always."

Lingyan indicated that she understood.

She wants a soulmate with similar values.

But it wasn't just her; everyone else seemed to think their partner would take a concubine.

Moreover, as long as the concubines don't ride roughshod over them, they can tolerate it.

Does no one think that taking a concubine is wrong in itself?

Is this the tragedy of women in ancient times?

This ancient society is a mess!

This oppressive feudal dynasty!

Lingyan felt a tightness in her chest, a strange sense of suffocation and heaviness.

Finally, Jiang Muxue smiled slightly and said, "My conditions are similar to yours. First, I must be outstanding in appearance. Other things like respect, obedience, love for me, kindness to me, and not favoring concubines over wives are the same as yours, so I have nothing more to say."

Lingyan still felt uncomfortable after hearing this.

Again, one cannot favor a concubine over one's wife.

Were the demands of women in ancient times really that low?

That's enough, what's the use of her feeling upset?

She has no way of changing this social structure at this point.

Even if changes are to be made, they must wait until Xiao Muyao takes power.

But can she really change things on her own?

Not to mention the men's fierce opposition, even many women would probably express their incomprehension and objection.

That’s all, I don’t want to think about it anymore.

That's all for the future.

Let's think about it later.

She let out a long sigh of relief, then laughed and joked, "Looks like we're all obsessed with looks! Face is the most important thing."

The group exchanged glances and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The laughter was like a gentle breeze blowing through the flowers in spring, carrying a touch of playfulness and warmth.

Indeed, their first requirement is that they must be good-looking.

What else could it be but being obsessed with looks?

This honesty and tacit understanding brought them even closer together.

At this moment, the Eighth Princess's eyes lit up, and she asked Lingyan with a smile and curiosity, "So what are your standards, sister-in-law? Before you married my brother, did you think about what kind of man you wanted to marry?"

The others were also incredibly curious.

All eyes turned to Ling Yan.

I'm really curious to know what the standards are for a partner for a woman as outstanding in every way as she is.

Without thinking, Ling Yan blurted out, "Just like your brother."

The Eighth Princess scoffed, "I don't believe it! My brother isn't here, sister-in-law, just tell the truth."

Lingyan said helplessly, "But it's your brother who is my standard! Your brother is my standard. He is the perfect standard for the husband I want to marry in every way."

Seeing her serious expression, the Eighth Princess finally believed her.

Thinking about it carefully, it's no exaggeration to say that my brother loved his sister-in-law to the core.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed the perfect standard in every respect.

Not only her, but several others also completely agreed.

They couldn't help but fantasize about having a husband as perfect as Prince Rui in the future.
