The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 713 One-year appointment

The Great Chang Kingdom existed for several hundred years, the previous dynasty for eight hundred years, and going back nearly two thousand years, but women rarely ruled. This led to the deeply ingrained idea of ​​male supremacy, which was not only rooted in the hearts of men but also in the hearts of women.

Whenever someone tries to break out of their comfort zone and do something different, the women are the first to disagree, because they have already defined their position and appearance and will not allow anyone to disrupt or change it.

Not many people have the courage to step out of their current circle and enter another level of life.

For some men, they don't care if women share the family responsibilities, and they are happy for women to go out and earn money, and to take care of both children.

Men in high positions wouldn't have too many worries; at most, they might think it's immoral, because they know that no matter how hard a woman tries, she will never be able to get ahead of them in their lifetime.

[Bao, under extreme feudal oppression, women were forced to sever their roots. Later women believed that they were like duckweed, and would never want to suffer the pain of taking root again.]

There are women who are willing to stand up, but they are often from the very bottom of society, oppressed to the point of being unable to survive, and can only seek change. However, they are often suppressed and silenced by women with greater power.

Hearing Tuanzi's words and listening to the Empress Dowager and Old Lady Wang's analysis, Ayu fell into deep thought.

This was an angle she had never considered before, nor did she expect that the biggest challenge would be her mindset.

Seeing Ayu's furrowed brows, Old Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her and said, "Good child, you have thought it through very well. I once thought of directly pushing women into the mainstream of men, but that was too shocking and it's normal that the world wouldn't accept it. You just want to give them a direction to choose from, and the outcome might be different."

This is also why Old Madam Wang confronted the Empress Dowager about this matter. Ultimately, Dachang was a country controlled by the dynasty, and those in power would repeatedly weigh every decision, taking into account at least the various advantages and disadvantages within a hundred years.

As long as the Empress Dowager relents, it means she will step in to resolve the matter concerning the Imperial Clan Women, and Ayu only needs to deal with her own part. As for the rest, since she, as the grandmother, has already chosen to reveal her identity, even if she doesn't return to her original position, there will be much more she can do for Ayu, no, for the former Princess Yongchang.

Ayu thought about it for a long time, but neither the Empress Dowager nor Old Lady Wang urged her.

Ayu only stopped thinking when a maid outside asked if she wanted to have a meal.

She left the Empress Dowager's side and went to the center of the hall. She bowed to the Empress Dowager and Old Madam Wang respectively, and then said, "Your Majesty, Grandmother, I have thought it through. I still want to continue with the girls' academy, but I'm not in a hurry to start next spring. Could you give me a year? I will travel to various places to study next year, and I will ask for your assistance after I return. Is that alright?"

Before the Empress Dowager could speak, Old Madam Wang nodded with a smile: "Good."

Seeing how completely trusting Ayu was to Old Madam Wang, what could the Empress Dowager say? She said helplessly, "I've already boarded your pirate ship, so naturally I don't need to get off. I don't know what you're trying to tell me, but I'll do as you say."

At worst, she can just retire as Empress Dowager and go to live out her days in that Hu Family Village that Xiao Yaoguang likes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Grandma!" Ayu was finally a little happier.

After finishing that, Ayu continued with another matter: "Your Majesty, have you decided what to do about my fifth brother? If possible, I would like to visit Jiangsai next spring."

Whether her girls' academy can succeed may depend most crucially on Jiang Sai, which is also the conclusion Ayu just reached.
