Chapter 1056: Changing Women Twenty-Two

The princess felt a little embarrassed.

She expected that this kind of peasant woman would feel inferior when meeting her.

As long as a person has low self-esteem and lacks self-confidence, he will become more obedient, and it will be easier for her to say a lot of things.

But now it seems that the other party's aura is not inferior to hers.

But she had to do what she promised Zhu Zhuoran.

The princess bit the bullet and started chatting with Meng Li.

They started talking about business, and finally the topic inevitably turned to men.

The princess said to the maid beside her:

"Go and guard outside first."

The maid retreated, and the princess slowly said:

"It's not easy to support a champion, isn't it?"

Meng Li chuckled:

"That is it."

Princess: "..."

You're really welcome.

"I heard that you are also his cousin?" the princess asked, changing the subject.

Meng Li nodded and said:

"That's what happened."

"Hey, thank you for your hard work."

The princess pursed her lips and looked at Meng Li with some pity.

Meng Li was made to laugh by the princess's compassionate eyes. Do you pity her?

Pity her that she managed to support a champion, but couldn't get his love?

Not destined to be an official’s wife?

It can be seen that if Lian Fu's operation had not been carried out back then, their identities would have been interchanged.

I don’t know what to say. The princess is right to say this. She was so young back then and didn’t know anything.

The two chatted casually again,

The princess looked like he was about to speak but Meng Li looked at the princess indifferently, with some suspicion in his heart.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Meng Li said.

He always hesitates to speak, and hesitates to speak. He also waits for others to ask.

If you really feel that it's hard to say anything, just don't say anything.

"Have you ever thought about making life easier for yourself?" the princess asked tentatively.

Meng Li said matter-of-factly:

"My husband has become the number one scholar, and his life will naturally be easier than before."

The princess shook her head and said:

"Actually, that's not the case. It will be very tiring later."

"He may have concubines in the future, just like my husband, he has a concubine in the backyard."

Meng Li: "You think I can't accept it?"

The princess nodded.

In common people's families, they all have one husband and one wife, and in better families, it is the form of monogamy and multiple concubines.

Therefore, some ordinary women cannot accept this.

The measure is too small to accommodate.

"I accept it." Meng Li looked at the princess with a smile:

"Even if he has a bunch of concubines, as long as he can keep them, I don't mind."

This left the princess speechless.

Well, even if you can accept a concubine, the princess cannot be Zhu Zhuoran's concubine.

"Do you love him?" the princess asked after hesitation.

Meng Li really laughed out loud now, she said:

"Mrs. Lin, do we have to talk about love and non-love since we just met and became close friends?"

"You just want to test my attitude, so you have to be a little patient, okay?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the princess's face, and she said:

"Did Zhu Zhuoran tell you?"

Meng Li: "What did you say? Is it a matter of reconciliation?"

The princess breathed a sigh of relief, at least she didn't say anything about the princess, that's good.

She continued on the topic of reconciliation:

"It turns out that Zhu Zhuoran wants to make peace with you."

Her expression turned more pitiful.

"Then what do you think?" the princess asked again.

Meng Li: "I don't think much about it. If I don't agree with Heli, Heli is a fool."

The princess' expression stiffened and she said:

"The melons that are forced are not sweet."

"That's a melon too, I don't care if it's sweet or not." Meng Li said nonchalantly.

Meng Li stared at the princess's face again and said:

"So you are here to lobby, you want me to agree to reconcile with Zhu Zhuoran."

"You are such a lenient woman," Meng Li said.

This somewhat conceited attitude made the princess feel a little annoyed, and she also felt that the atmosphere between them had begun to become unharmonious.

After all, she is a woman from the mountains. Although she looks well-groomed and looks decent when she goes out, her words are still so unpolished and unpleasant to listen to.

But she wasn't afraid of offending this person, so it didn't matter.

Simply put the words aside.

She straightened her face and said seriously:

"It's not that I'm lenient, but Zhu Zhuoran and my husband hit it off right away. They will be good friends for a long time in the future. Naturally, we have to put some thought into his affairs."

Meng Li raised his eyebrows:

"so what?"

"So you should understand that neither of you will be happy if you don't reconcile. It's better to reconcile and gain respect."

Meng Li said meaningfully:

"What do you mean, you want me not to be toasted, not to eat, and to be punished with a fine drink?"

"I didn't mean that."

The princess frowned. She was not good at arguing with others, but she was not afraid to reason with them either.

"Originally I planned to reconcile, but seeing that Zhu Zhuoran actually invited powerful people like you to force me, I refused to give in." Meng Li said with a cold face.

Princess: "What are you doing?"

Meng Li: "You are not a fish, but you know the joy of fish."

The princess wanted to roll her eyes, but a wild woman from the mountain even said something about Wen Jue to her.

She thought for a while and said:

"I am indeed not a fish, but I know that a fish without water will definitely be unhappy. A husband's love for a woman is like water to a fish."

Meng Li couldn't help but chuckled twice and said:

"So you mean you can't live without a man's love?"

The princess choked and her face felt a little hot:

"No, that's not what I meant."

"It's just not easy. A woman regards her husband as her top priority and is trapped in the backyard all day long. Isn't it just the compassion from her husband that she is waiting for?"

Meng Li nodded and said:

"That's true."

For women in this era, or for women in the thousands of years to come, compassion and understanding from their partners are also very important.

"So, actually, if we let each other go, everyone will feel better," the princess said.

Meng Li made a sound and said:

"If it were you, would you give up?"

"I have worked hard for more than ten years, almost all my life before, for him, and then I became the top pick and found that we were not suitable. What did I get?"

"I have to go back to farm work and struggle for survival. Compared with a good life, I feel that love is not that important."

"If you want good living conditions, Zhu Zhuoran can give them to you. You don't have to be related to him to have them." The princess said.

To her, it was just a matter of raising one person, even a princess. A little money would be enough for this woman to eat and drink for a lifetime.

Meng Li felt a little dry in the mouth, took a sip of tea and said:

"If you are here to persuade us to reconcile, I'm sorry, but I don't accept it."

"You're stubborn."

The princess frowned slightly, feeling a little annoyed.

People who don't listen no matter what you say are the most annoying.

Do you really think she can't do anything to her?

I just see her as pitiful and don't want to oppress her.
