Chapter 1613 Lit a Candle
Nan Hua was keen on detecting other people's gaze on her. Seeing the two women's flash of jealousy, she was not surprised.
In the era where women's position was low, it was hard for them to make a name for themselves. If they dared to act outrageously, they wouldn't be accepted by the norm and ended up being ostracized.
Not to mention, to be able to survive well was also another question.
For women who were born in relatively better families, they wouldn't need to worry about food, clothing, and place to stay. But for them to keep this kind of life, they would have to act in accordance to what those people wanted them to be.
Was it good or bad?
For ambitious people, this kind of life was very restricting and they might not be able to accept it.
For some others who just wished to live a good life, this was nothing more than a small price they had to pay for them to live well.
There were also those who were born in relatively ordinary family and could choose a person who cared for them. After all, harems were usually for those who had high position and those with lower position was not qualified.
But even then, there were those who were born of low position tried their best to climb up.
Nan Hua herself knew that it was impossible for her to be like that. Serving another person for her entire life and shaped herself to cater their preferences without knowing when she would be thrown away and forgotten....
It would be better to live for herself.
Though, it doesn't mean she would live alone for her entire life.
Having someone who loved her and she loved back is still very good.
Nan Hua felt that her mind was going astray right now and focused on the two children in front of her, teaching them to warm up and stretch their muscles.

<Not long distance away, on the way to Imperial Palace Court>
Emperor Yang Zhou didn't immediately head to the main hall after he had given his instruction to Nan Hua. Instead, he was slowing down his pace because he was tired after a long time reviewing many things that had to be done.
Prime Minister Xian had already finished the things that didn't need his direct approval.
But there were still many others that required him to review in person.
Emperor Yang Zhou was very tired but there were many things that he had to do, which made him a bit irritable.
"Your Majesty, the court will start soon," Prime Minister Lan reminded in a low voice.
"I know. You don't have to repeat it to me." Emperor Yang Zhou thought of the report from last night and then the member of the Xiao Family who came to him and felt another headache.
After marrying the Empress, it was clear that her family members would wish that she would have a son to strengthen her position. However, Empress Xiao didn't have a child yet, which made the family rather anxious.
