No one replied, but Tong Xinlan's extraordinary ears still heard a slight sound of air currents, and the dark guard Bai Li had already left.

Thinking of this, Tong Xinlan couldn't help but exhale lightly, fortunately, there were no mistakes when she didn't look at Hua Shulan's memory, otherwise she would definitely be discovered by the secret guards left by these old emperors to secretly protect Hua Shulan.

Well, this mission has the memory of Hua Shulan helping the young emperor to protect the throne in the previous life, and Tong Xinlan is still very handy when assisting Luo Yan in handling court affairs.

She still has to spend more energy on teaching Luo Yan to discern other people's hearts, especially women.

Although Luo Yan abandoned his family and country because of that infatuated Gu later, at the beginning, he was still attracted by the "different" Qiao Shishi.

After all, Qiao Shishi has a maverick temperament unique to a woman, which is different from the gentle and lovely temperament of a woman in the back house of the same era.

When she was not favored by the emperor at the beginning, Qiao Shishi also didn't dare to cause trouble with her tail between her legs, so she endured her temperament and just wanted to be a rice worm safely, for fear of provoking someone who would cause her head to move.

But later, after knowing that the emperor was obedient to her, she began to be hypocritical.

So, how to teach the emperor now?

As a woman, Tong Xinlan naturally did not want to teach Luo Yan to be a scumbag.

Tong Xinlan herself doesn't like stallions, however, it is impossible for the emperor of this era not to open a harem, Xiyue Country is not a strong and powerful country like the Great Qin Empire in the world where he was before, even if the most ambitious Jiang Country is not counted, there are Cao Kingdom, Hongrong Kingdom, Huanbi Country, and Chen State are all eyeing the Xiyue Kingdom where the young emperor took office, as long as Luo Yan makes a mistake, they may be caught by them to attack Xiyue.

In such a situation surrounded by strong enemies, it is difficult for the royal family to support it to achieve the purpose of maintaining checks and balances among the surrounding countries.

Since the emperor's three palaces and six courts exist, it also makes sense, except for those emperors who constantly choose the good/lustful of show girls among the people, the rest of the emperors basically understand that the real meaning of the draft is to win over the capable ministers in the court to do things for themselves.

It can't be said that the emperor is pitiful, nor can it be said that the women who were elected to the harem are pitiful, we look at it from a modern point of view, they are all unfair and narrow-minded.

In feudal society, it is a great honor to be able to marry into the royal family, and many women flock to it.

After all, the woman who can marry into the royal family is naturally not the average woman from a small family, for them, there is no freedom in the first place, marrying into the royal family and marrying into other back houses, but the size of the cage is different.

It is good that the emperor has many women, but it is impossible for other men who can afford to marry them to be without concubines and maids.

Maybe there are individual men who are absolutely infatuated and don't take concubines, but they are only a few.

Tong Xinlan didn't say that ancient men should be like this, but the social environment at that time was like this, if there was no God's perspective, who knows which man would never take a concubine?

Therefore, for the girls of the ancient homeland, marrying the emperor or other sons of the family is actually the same.

And if you can marry into the palace, the honor you get and the glory you bring to the family can't be given by marrying others, and marrying a man from other families is actually just for marriage.

As for ordinary people's families, if they don't accept concubines, they just can't afford to raise them, and businessmen and gentry who can afford to raise concubines, who are not embracing left and right?

Let's just say that the law protects monogamy in the modern era, rich men, who doesn't have a few little wives outside?

Those men are not as noble as the emperor, at least, some emperors are indeed selling their bodies to win over their courtiers, not just for the sake of flesh/desire.

Moreover, if you want to say it, in the past, there was an emperor in the world who had only one wife, and that was Zhu Youzhang, the Ming Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty.

But it is not easy to make Luo Yan a man like Zhu Youzhu who only marries one wife, and there was no major turmoil during the Ming Dynasty, it was relatively stable, and there was a cabinet system that could ensure that the emperor could handle government affairs without going to court.

Moreover, after the catalysis of the Great Rites Discussion, the speed of local clan township contractualization was also very fast, and the local autonomy since the Song and Yuan dynasties was further developed, which ensured the relatively effective control and collection of local forces by the Ming government, and also effectively improved the combat effectiveness of the army.

These conditions are not something that Luo Yan can achieve, and the system like the Ming Dynasty is not perfect with one or two emperors, and Luo Yan's control over the Xiyue Kingdom is still very weak, and the national conditions are fundamentally different.

Kangxi, who also ascended the throne as a teenager, did not marry so many wives because he was lustful, but Qianlong, who ascended the throne at a young age, caught up with an absolute scumbag who was reincarnated at a good time.

Tong Xinlan felt that she couldn't teach Luo Yan to be a scum like Qianlong, but it was okay to become the rest and hold the emperor of the harem.

The emperor can also have true love, but there are few women who can give the emperor true love.

As a mother with modern thoughts, Tong Xinlan feels that it is really difficult to be the emperor's mother.

The plan has been planned for a long time, but Tong Xinlan has not implemented it, after all, asking her to popularize "how to treat women" to a 10-year-old boy is really unspeakable, making Tong Xinlan feel like a strange aunt.

can't just learn from Zhang Wuji's mother and tell him not to trust beautiful women, in case the child is scared into homosexual/sexual/love, Hua Shulan will definitely give her a zero score.

Moreover, the news brought back by Bai Li also confirmed that the current Qiao Shishi is still the original Qiao Shishi, and Tong Xinlan is not in a hurry to speed up Luo Yan's understanding of women.

Qiao Shishi enters the palace, and she has to wait for several years, Qiao Shishi is only three years old, and she still has ten years to enter the palace.

What's in a hurry?

The reason why Tong Xinlan didn't kill Qiao Shishi at the beginning, or why Qiao Shishi's father found a reason to take off his hat and send their whole family to the frontier was also because he was afraid of the butterfly effect.

Kill Qiao Shishi, what if there is another Zhang Shishi and Liu Shishi?

Let's let Qiao Shishi develop freely, when she enters the palace, she, the queen mother, will slowly grind her, in the previous life, Hua Shulan was afraid of her son, so she was just a little harsh with Qiao Shishi, and asked the emperor to go to other palaces to get wet with rain and dew, and she was not the only queen mother who did this, she was just doing what the queen mother should do, but she didn't make the rest of the palace people embarrassed her too much.

In the end, it was Qiao Shishi who drove Hua Shulan out of Fengyi Hall and sent her to the cold palace.
