Chapter 573 - She is angry. (2/2)
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 novels 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.”
