Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Mo Hongyun took a deep breath and tried to calm the panic in his heart.

He reached out his hand tremblingly and began to unbutton Shen Xingxi's clothes.

His heart beat faster with every button he unbuttoned.

When he saw the bright red bellyband inside, his heart beat wildly.

Shen Xingxi looked at Mo Hongyun's nervous and flustered appearance, and suddenly held him in her arms, slightly lifting up part of her bellyband so that their skins could touch each other's.

Body temperature and heartbeat are intertwined, and the temperature seems to rise instantly.

Shen Xingxi kissed his earlobe and asked in her heart: [System, where is the secret door? ]

[It's right next to the bathtub. Host, look forward along your current line of sight. Do you see a vase? Just pick up the vase and the secret door will open.]

Shen Xingxi picked up Mo Hongyun and held him horizontally, pressed him against the wall next to the vase, and kissed his lips.

She deliberately touched the vase several times but did not knock it over.

Mo Hongyun's mentality also changed from slight resistance to curiosity and anticipation about the scene inside the secret door.

But the touch on my lips disappeared, and Xingxi's words came to my ears: [Forget it, it's too late today, let's not play anymore. ]

Mo Hongyun could hardly control his hands and pretended to accidentally knock over the vase.

The system shook its head. The host really likes to be a lamb walking into a trap!

The secret door opened without warning, making a dull sound.

Shen Xingxi and Mo Hongyun raised their heads almost at the same time, and their eyes were full of vigilance and alertness the moment they met.

They looked at each other, then walked towards the secret door tacitly, but no one mentioned putting on clothes.

In the dark room, there is a huge birdcage made of pure gold standing in the center. The brilliant golden light flickers in the dim room, and various torture instruments are hung inside.

Shen Xingxi looked at the torture instruments and took a breath.

She narrowed her beautiful eyes and said in her heart: [I really want to see what Mo Hongyun looks like when he enters the cage.]

Mo Hongyun paused, pretended to be curious, opened the cage door, and walked in.

He reached out and grasped a railing, applying a little force to test the hardness of the birdcage.

Shen Xingxi couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

Mo Hongyun did not change his clothes after coming out of the bathtub.

Now the white veil sticks to her body, making her look both shabby and attractive.

With the action of holding the railing in the birdcage, it looks like a canary that cannot escape, helpless and embarrassed, which makes people feel pity.

Shen Xingxi closed the door and took the whip off the cage.

Using force with both hands, he wrapped his arms around his waist while swinging, tightly entwining his body with the cage.

She kissed him on the lips through the railing.

Seeing two marks on his skin, interlaced with the redness and swelling, she pointed to the candle and candlestick and asked, "Curious how that works?"

Mo Hongyun smiled, his voice a little breathless: "I said, let Xingxi deal with it tonight."

Shen Xingxi looked at his lustful eyes and his increasingly heavy breathing, the flame in her eyes burning brighter and brighter.

……

An hour and a half later, Mo Hongyun opened his eyes and looked at the hourglass not far away.

With a helpless sigh, he placed his hand on Xingxi's wrist, ready to remove his hand from his abs.

Shen Xingxi woke up instantly, put her arms around him, kissed his earlobe and asked, "Are you going back to court?"

"Well, you should get some more sleep." Mo Hongyun nodded, a flash of depression in his eyes.

He just let go of his hand, and before he moved, Xingxi woke up.

So even though they were already sleeping in the same bed, even though he felt the heat of the candle, even though he was being held, Xingxi was still unwilling to get any closer to him and was still wary of him.

When will these days come to an end?

Shen Xingxi yawned and sat up, taking out the plan she had discussed with the noble concubine last night, "I wanted to tell you last night, but I was having too much fun. You can take a look at it first. If you think it's feasible, then we'll make it. If you think there's something wrong with it, we'll change it."

"Okay, I'll watch from the carriage, you continue to sleep. If it's feasible, I'll give the order directly." Mo Hongyun took over the plan.

Shen Xingxi kissed his lips and said, "Go slowly on the road."

The royal villa is not very close to the imperial palace, and it takes at least three quarters of an hour to drive there. When Mo Hongyun finished reading the plan and looked up, he realized that he had already arrived at the palace.

He turned to the last page and saw that it actually said: "He accompanies you for me."

A warm feeling passed through his heart. It turned out that Xingxi didn't forget about the plan because she was having fun, but she just made up an excuse, mainly because she wanted him not to feel lonely in the carriage.

With a happy smile on his face, he ordered Mantian to find the files from the autumn three years ago.

Because the establishment of girls' schools was ordered by the previous emperor, Mo Hongyun was too lazy to listen to the opinions of the ministers and directly issued an imperial decree regarding girls' schools when he first came to court.

The emperor was sent to heaven to carry the order, and the edict said:

I have heard that the way to educate is to attach equal importance to both men and women, so that the country can be governed and the family can be prosperous. Therefore, women's schools are established to provide women with education, to assist the family and the country, and to contribute to the prosperity of the world.

For this purpose, this imperial edict is issued.

The daughters of officials of the fourth rank and above in the capital must report to the girls' school within seven days and fill in their personal information in detail for registration. They must also prepare their luggage and belongings for the girls' school in advance and complete the check-in procedures within ten days without any mistakes.

All wives of officials in the capital must also go to the girls' school in person within ten days to fill in their personal information for registration. From now on, they must go to the girls' school in person every five days to listen to the lectures.

This is my sincere concern for women's education and promotion of women's learning. All officials and their families should understand my intention, obey my order, and join in this great cause. If anyone disobeys, he will be severely punished.

This is it.

After the imperial edict was issued, the prime minister looked at the emperor with a bit more disbelief in his eyes.

I didn't even discuss it with him.

Although the daughters of officials of the fourth rank and above were allowed to study in girls' schools before, there was no mention that they had to live in the girls' schools, not to mention why the wives of the families had to attend classes.

He endured it until the end of the court, when he was alone with Mo Hongyun in the Golden Palace, and then he asked the question: "How could the emperor not consult with the ministers and issue the imperial edict so hastily? Your foundation is not yet stable, and I am worried about you in the long run."

Mo Hongyun took out the memorial that Xingxi had reviewed before.

"Prime Minister, you should read this first. I made a bet with Mr. Shen last night. If she can beat you, I will issue an order directly. My original intention was to give you a chance to compete with the queen, but I never thought that she never thought you were qualified to be her opponent."
