Chapter 573 - She Is Angry.

Zhao Ming saw that he wasn't replying so she asked again.

" Let me put it this way, you have only one legal consort and three concubines, right? And this girl doesn't want to be your concubine. So are you ready to take her in as your consort ?"

The man's brows twitched when he heard her question. He glanced at the girl and scoffed, " Your Majesty, she is just a daughter of a mere merchant. Also, she is herself a daughter from a concubine, then how can I take her in as a consort?"

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and stared at Gao Lin who was looking at Xu Hua arrogantly.

Men like her always think that they are better than others. On the other side, they are nothing but losers.

" Also, what is wrong with having many concubines? Doesn't his majesty have so many consorts as well? I don't understand why you're making it such a big problem?"

"-_-"

His words made everyone swallow their saliva in fear. His words were too bold.

Even his father grew worried when he heard his son's words. He really doesn't know what and when to say.

Ji Cheng's brows twitched when he heard his words. However, when he glanced at Zhao Ming, she was expressionless.

He couldn't read what she was thinking.

But he was sure of one thing.

She is angry.

Zhao Ming just stared at Gao Lin and didn't say anything for a few minutes. The whole court was silent to the point that the sound of people's breathing could be heard. historical

" Hah." Zhao Ming ridiculed and looked at Gao Lin with a cold gaze and said, " You're right. His Majesty has so many wives. But you know what, he married them to protect the Empire. But you're right. It does not eliminate the fact that he has many consorts."

" But he has legally married everyone and not kept them as concubines. Unlike you, who has only one legal wife and has kept others as concubines. Not only that, but you're also forcing a girl who is half of your age to be your concubine. "

Nobody said anything and just listened to Zhao Ming's words. Even Ji Cheng was quiet and was silently listening to her words.

" Your Majesty, I am not the only one who has taken concubines before. Everyone does that. It's not new. Also, what's wrong with being a concubine? These women should be happy to know that someone is interested in them. " Gao Lin boasted as he turned to Xu Hua and stared at her with his disgusting gaze.

" This girl..she is acting like this because it was me who showed interest first. Otherwise, she would have been roaming on streets to seduce men."

"-_-"

"-_-"

People in the court were shocked to hear his words. They weren't expecting him to speak such things in the court.

Ji Cheng's expressions darkened when he heard his words.

" You're right. What's wrong keeping women as concubines?" Zhao Ming looked at Gao Lin coldly and said

" Then would you be fine if your wife brings other men home and keeps them as her kept man? How will you feel then? Will be alright with that?"

" YOUR MAJESTY! You're going too far." Gao Lin shouted when he heard her words.

How can she do something like this? He cannot imagine his wife bringing other men home. He will kill her and that man together.

Even Ji Cheng was caught off guard when he heard her bold words.

At that time, he realized that she was never fine with him bringing other consorts.

She never showed her dissatisfaction before but from her words, it's clear that she hated this system of having other wives.

" Why? Can't you even imagine that? If you can't accept this, then how can you expect your wife to be okay with it? How can you expect this girl to be fine with it? " She said while pointing at Xu Hua.

" I would like to know, how many men in this court can see their wives with other men? Can you do the same as you expect from your wives? If not, then with authority can you ask your wives to be understanding?" She raised her chin and looked at everyone asking a question.

Facing Zhao Ming's questions, they held their head down in shame.

" Of what right, you men are capable enough to call yourself better than your wives? Just because you're a man? That's it? You know, this kind of attitude is not manly at all. " she said with a mockery in her tone.

" The real man treats a woman like a woman and not like a thing. She is a human as well and not your possession. "

Zhao Ming's words were loud and clear. No one dared to say a word against her.

Not because everyone agreed, especially Gao Lin but he was forced to shut his mouth because of Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng's intimidating gaze was enough to keep him quiet.

Zhao Ming calmed down after saying her words. These words were bothering her for so long.

It's true that she doesn't feel comfortable with Ji Cheng having so many wives.

However, she knows that his marriage was just a marriage alliance and he wouldn't have done that if he had a choice.

But she still doesn't feel right about it. Especially the way people here think about women.

Is being a woman a crime or what? Why can't they choose to marry the person they want? Why can't they study in schools just like boys? Why only they have to compromise when it comes to marriage?

There are.many things which need to be changed. She doesn't know how long she can stay in this world, but she wants to do whatever she can do for the people in this world since she has the power to do so.

Unlike the stories she has read in s or dramas, she is an Empress and has the power to make certain changes.

Thankfully Ji Cheng is also supportive of her and never said anything against her ideology.

Even though her thinking is too progressive for this world, still he never said anything to her.

That's the reason she can't help but fall for him deeper. She was not given this much value even in her own world that he is giving her.

Ji Cheng glanced at Zhao Ming before speaking, " What Empress Zhao Ming just said is right. We men..are really selfish. How can we expect women to be understanding when we never did anything to understand them?"

He said seriously as he addressed everyone while glancing at Zhao Ming in between.

" On that account, I, the Emperor of the Ji Dynasty would like to make another amendment in the rule book of the Ji Dynasty."
