Su Yuxin's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously. However, moments later, she furrowed her brows again.
"But as Emperor, he'll have Three Palaces and Six Courtyards, and there will be lots of women. I don't want that."
As a modern woman, she could not even accept a mistress. How could she accept her own man openly marrying numerous concubines and bringing them into the household?
The thought alone made her feel sick and uncomfortable.
Madam Su had not expected her daughter to have such thoughts. She gently patted the back of her hand. "Silly girl, isn't it perfectly normal for men to have three wives and four concubines?"
"Even though your father treated me so well in the past, didn't he still have several concubines in the rear courtyard?"
"For a principal wife, the most important things are to hold on to a man's heart and secure the power in her hands. Everything else is useless."
Su Yuxin pouted, looking somewhat sullen. "But I still don't want that. The man I like must like only me, and he must have only me."
How could a third person be allowed to appear in the world of love?
It was just like the current situation between her father and mother. Once a third person appeared, the feelings between the two of them would inevitably run into trouble.
Looking at her daughter's insistence on this point, Madam Su felt both distressed and worried.
As a woman, how could she not understand her daughter's thoughts? As a mother, how could she not hope that her daughter would live well?
It was just that such a thing was absolutely impossible.
Unless she married a peddler or laborer, whose future husband would live in poverty all his life and lack the means to take concubines.
