Chapter 261: Tibetan and Rong custom of sharing husbands Having her thoughts exposed, Ji Ruxue lowered her head in shame, bit her lip and whispered: "I... I like her too~" Although part of it was because of the escape and marriage, he also liked her. "you…" Ji Huachang raised her hand in anger, but she couldn't bear to do it, so she had to put it down helplessly. "Xue'er, you are too confused! Let's not even talk about whether the King of Beichen will accept you or not." "The Queen Mother has already intended for you to marry, and you are still expressing your love for the King of Beichen at this time. If this matter is publicized, do you know what the consequences will be?" "You knew that you had a marriage agreement, but you still did this. What do you think the Queen Mother will think? What do you think everyone else will think?" "You are resisting the decree!" Ji Huashang's face was dark and ugly, and his hands were clenched into fists. I really can't imagine how furious my mother would be if she knew about this.
Ji Ruxue seemed to be frightened by Ji Huashang's seriousness and her face turned pale. But I felt very wronged, tears welled up in my eyes: "What else can I do?" He looked at Ji Huashang pitifully, grabbed her clothes, shook his head, and cried miserably. "Royal sister, Xue'er doesn't want to marry, don't you love Xue'er the most?" "Are you willing to watch Xue'er go to marry and be humiliated by those barbarians?" Ji Ruxue spoke with a feeling of grievance and choked up, tightening her grip on the corner of Ji Huashang's clothes. His face was transparent and pale, his expression was dazed, and his voice was trembling a little. "Xue'er heard that the custom of the Tibetan Rong is that when a wife dies, everything she has, including her husband's servants, will be inherited by her daughters; if the wife has no daughters, her sisters will inherit." "A husband and a maid can give the gift to other people at will, and even a family of sisters can share it. It is given as a reward to meritorious soldiers, just like... military prostitutes! There is no dignity at all!" Ji Ruxue's elegant and delicate face was blurred with tears, her lips were pale, and she was sobbing in a trembling voice. "Sister Royal~" "Can you bear to send Xue'er to such a life worse than that of pigs and dogs?" Ji Huashang was completely shocked. Her pale hands trembled slightly under her sleeves, and then she clenched them tightly, saying in a low voice, "Where did you hear this?" Ji Ruxue smiled bitterly: "Is there any need to inquire about something that is already known to everyone?" Hearing about the marriage was shocking enough and unbearable. Later, he unexpectedly heard the palace servants discussing the fate of the princes of the Zangrong who had married into the imperial family in the past, as well as the Zangrong and other customs that disregarded human ethics. Hearing this, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, chilling him to the bone. If that were the case, he might as well die. Why endure such humiliation! Ji Huashang had a complicated expression on her face. She had also heard about the custom of sharing husbands among the Zangrong people.
She didn’t think much of it before, but now that her own brother has become the protagonist, she finds it hard to accept and even angry. His wrist was grabbed, and he looked up to see Ji Ruxue's tearful face. "Royal sister, have you forgotten that you said you would protect Xue'er when you were little?" "Have you forgotten what you said, that when you grow up you will find a good wife for Xue'er who is both civil and military and who will love Xue'er all her life." "Royal sister, the Queen Mother doesn't love Xue'er, and the Queen Father also advised Xue'er to be patient. Are you going to abandon Xue'er too?" Ji Huashang's voice was slightly hoarse: "Xue'er~" Looking at the younger brother whom I have spoiled since childhood, how can I bear to let him suffer so much? He seemed to have made up his mind. He held Ji Ruxue's hand and said solemnly. "Xue'er, don't worry, the emperor won't let you go to marry." Ji Ruxue's tear-stained face trembled slightly. She looked up with red eyes and looked at Ji Huashang expectantly. "really?" Ji Huashang wiped away his tears with her hands and comforted him softly, "Imperial sister promises." Ji Ruxue wiped the tears from her face, her eyes slightly red: "Thank you, sister." Although I was still a little uneasy, I felt much more at ease with the assurance from my royal sister.
