Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

"Then I'll tell you." Shen Xingxi's eyes flashed with ferocity, and her voice was fierce: "Find a chance to slap the menstrual belt on his face in private!"

The students were silent. They really couldn't do it this way.

How on earth did Mr. Yan come up with this?

Shen Xingxi's expression became serious: "Students, the world is full of wonders, and the environment we live in is full of various voices and ideas.

Many times, people seem to be only willing to hear those voices that suit their own wishes. As for those that do not conform to their ideas, they are like deaf people who turn a deaf ear to them. At such times, methods that are fresh in their memory often work.

I hope you can open your minds and look at the world with a broader perspective.

Faced with rumors and the troubles in the world, you will have enough wisdom and courage to deal with them. You will not be swayed by the words of others, nor will you feel inferior because of the ridicule of others.

Remember, each of you is unique and your worth is not defined by what others say about you.

Women in this world not only have to face the embarrassment of being criticized for their menstruation, but also have to endure all kinds of comments about their figure and appearance.

I also hope that you can keep one thing in mind: laughing at others is a low-class behavior.

Although Confucius said, "To restrain oneself and return to propriety is benevolence," but at certain times, excessive tolerance will make those without quality even more rampant.

When you meet such people, I hope you can stand up bravely and respond to them in your own way.

I have met some people who comment on other people's bodies and their words are full of malice and ridicule.

At that time, I did not choose to endure it, but directly hit back at them.

I would pick out the things they least wanted to hear, like, "You are as tall as a bamboo pole, so short that people would think you are still a child."

When I see them getting angry and embarrassed, I will tell them calmly that if they want to talk about their body shape, they have to be prepared to accept other people's comments.

Students, there are many people in this world who like to follow the trend, and they always criticize others from a moral standpoint.

But what I want to tell you is: Don’t advise others to be good without experiencing their suffering. We should not easily judge and criticize others before we understand the full picture of the matter.

I hope you can do this and not comment without knowing the full picture.

At the same time, I also hope that you can think more and not be easily influenced by other people's comments. We must reject menstrual shame, reject body shame... We must be brave to be ourselves and live our own wonderful life.

Please believe that as long as you have enough courage and wisdom, you will be able to find your own place in this complex world! "

Shen Xingxi looked at the girls present kindly and said, "Okay, this class ends here. The rest of the class will be handed over to Mr. Mo."

She put the charcoal pencil on the table and walked out.

Miss Luo suddenly said, "Mr. Yan, I remember it!"

Shen Xingxi paused.

The girls stood up one after another and said, "Mr. Yan, I remember it too!"

Miss Zuo: "Is this the feeling of being the only one awake while everyone else is drunk?"

The girls all laughed.

Immediately, they spoke in twos and threes: "This feels really good! I want to help women who are also in trouble!"

"My mother said that girls should help girls."

"Am I the only one who finds it satisfying to slap a menstrual belt on the face of a man who's laughing at us?"

Jasmine walked to the podium and said, "Okay, I know you like Mr. Yan, but don't take up my class time."

She put the herbs on the table, and her voice suddenly became sharp, "Mr. Yan, did you break the table again?"

Shen Xingxi quickened his pace and walked out as if he was deaf.

Jasmine watched the boss leave and gritted her teeth, "Your Mr. Yan really showed you through his actions that some people are really like deaf people who can't hear what they don't want to hear!"

The girls laughed so hard that their bodies shook with youthful vitality.

Shen Xingxi walked out of the classroom and heard the laughter, and the corners of her lips curled up.

Even just because of these laughs, she felt that all the efforts were worth it.

-

But Mo Hongyun's mood was not the same as Shen Xingxi's. He seemed to be able to see the sunshine after the rain.

As the women united, he heard more complaints.

Because women were united, more and more people refused to sleep with the emperor. Officials put the blame on the women's academy and the queen, saying that this was teaching women to control men with their offspring.

Because more and more women wanted to find a way out for themselves, they left the harem. Officials put the blame on the business school, saying that it taught women to show their faces in public and had no sense of propriety, morality, and shame.

The candidates for the beauty pageant came in like snowflakes, and one censor even threatened to commit suicide to force Mo Hongyun to participate in the beauty pageant.

What distressed him even more was that just as he found a way to enrich the national treasury, a disaster would occur and all the money would be wiped out.

The pressure was increasing day by day and problems were coming one after another. He could clearly feel that his hair was falling out more and fine lines were appearing at the corners of his eyes.

He could only place his hope on this imperial examination, hoping that some talented person would be able to find a way to resolve his predicament.

But he didn't expect that after the examination results came out, there would be more problems.

There were a total of 123 tribute scholars, including 15 women, all of whom were talented in writing and had unique insights into state governance.

He kept his promise with Xingxi and made the test essays public, and the women cheered in unison.

But within less than half a day, rumors spread that the woman was able to pass the imperial examination because of missed questions, official fraud, and using her body to gain a career.

Officials also submitted memorials to him every day, asking him to hold a new imperial examination.

He was so angry that he threw the memorial and said, "I wrote the test questions on paper three hours before the test and asked everyone to copy them down. Are you saying that I am cheating for personal gain?"

All the officials claimed that they dared not, and then brought up the old matter again and asked him to participate in the selection.

He was just about to say that he deliberately left the question out to the Queen.

He evaded the draft and brought up his offspring.

But he hasn't consummated his marriage with Xingxi yet, so how could he have children?

Not to mention, he had a vague feeling that he would not have children even if he consummated the marriage, but he didn't want to admit it now.

Shen Xingxi has always known that Mo Hongyun was in a bad situation, but she was not in a position to help him.

But she would not sit idly by when there were rumors about the imperial examination.

On this day, she came to the Golden Palace during the morning court session for the first time ever.

Mo Hongyun immediately asked someone to invite her in.

Shen Xingxi stepped into the hall, looked at Mo Hongyun with complicated eyes and said: "Your Majesty, recently due to rumors of favoritism and fraud in the imperial examination, the students of the academy are in a panic.

The students always felt that the men were unwilling to admit that women could also pass the imperial examinations. I criticized them and punished those who discussed this matter.

Seeing that the students stopped discussing the matter, I suddenly had an idea: could I issue an imperial decree to punish those who spread rumors without knowing right from wrong?

Before she finished speaking, the censor stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. The law does not punish everyone. Moreover, there are too many people who have spoken out about this matter. If they are all arrested, people will inevitably panic. Moreover, how can Your Majesty be sure that the fifteen tribute scholars did not abuse their power for personal gain?"
