Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

The students couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Shen, shouldn't people pursue perfection? Why should we accept our imperfect selves?"

Shen Xingxi sighed: "Students, the pursuit of perfection is an attitude worthy of praise. It represents our unremitting pursuit of excellence and our desire for self-transcendence.

However, perfection is often accompanied by heavy pressure and endless anxiety.

Because in this world, nothing is absolutely perfect, whether it is people or things.

The world outside may be more complicated and cruel than you imagine.

Just as I advocate mutual help among women, it is impossible to prevent women from fighting and harming each other.

Everyone has a family and their own stance. To give a realistic example, if your family opposes my decision, I will not and cannot show mercy.

Accepting your imperfect self does not mean that you should give up your pursuit, but I hope you can look at yourself more rationally and be more tolerant of your shortcomings.

Just like the moon, although it waxes and wanes, its beauty does not diminish, but becomes more diverse and richer.

Perfection is an ideal, but life is full of variables.

We cannot ignore the beauty around us because of our pursuit of perfection, and we cannot lose our happiness because of being too demanding of ourselves.

Everyone has his strengths and weaknesses, and everyone has his own characteristics and personality.

We should appreciate our own strengths and accept our own weaknesses. Only in this way can we truly understand ourselves and develop ourselves better. "

Shen Xingxi curved her eyebrows and said, "Students, please remember that life is not a competition, but a journey.

We don’t have to rush for success or demand perfection. What’s important is that we keep learning, growing, and surpassing ourselves along the way.

You may encounter setbacks and feel lost on the road ahead, but remember that these are all part of growth. Only after going through wind and rain can we become stronger; only after going through twists and turns can we become wiser.

So, my students, don’t be afraid of your imperfections, don’t run away from your shortcomings. Instead, face them bravely, accept them, and then work hard to improve yourself. In this way, you can truly grow into a complete person, a truly powerful person. "

"At the end of this class, I want to say thank you for giving me this opportunity to say these words. I hope that in the days ahead, you can face life with a peaceful mind, embrace every imperfect self, and love yourself well."

"The rest of the time is up to you. You can leave the classroom and say goodbye to the other teachers, or you can find a corner to quietly enjoy your last days in the academy. We'll meet again if we're lucky."

"Mr. Shen." The students stood up collectively and blocked Shen Xingxi's way.

Miss Zuo stood at the front and opened the wooden box in her hand. "Mr. Shen, we know that the college prohibits giving gifts to teachers, but this is made from the materials distributed in the interest class, so it should not violate school rules. After all, you paid for these materials.

I used the leftover threads and fabrics from my embroidery class to embroider this sachet. Although the workmanship is definitely not as good as that of the embroiderers in the palace, I still hope Mr. Shen will accept it."

Shen Xingxi looked at the exquisite sachet in front of her and felt her nose sore. She thanked him and raised her head while accepting the sachet to prevent tears from falling.

But the students' voices kept ringing in my ears, "Mr. Shen, I carved this with the leftover wood from carving class. I hope you can accept it."

"Mr. Shen, this is the first pill I made successfully. Mr. Mo asked me to keep it, but I want to give it to you more."

"..."

Shen Xingxi accepted the students' kindness with slightly red eyes. She maintained her dignity, but when the students collectively bowed to her to thank her, she couldn't help but let tears fall.

She quickly turned and left, listening to the crying behind her and looking at the pure white gardenias in the distance, feeling mixed emotions.

Scholar Zhao walked up to Shen Xingxi and patted her shoulder. "If you want to cry, just cry as much as you can! I'll lend you my shoulder."

Shen Xingxi took a deep breath and shook his head.

Scholar Zhao knew that the emperor had recently been cracking down on the aristocratic families, and that it was inevitable that the families of these students would be dealt with. These overly sincere gifts might even become a burden.

She could only divert the emperor's attention and joked, "What? Do you still feel embarrassed to lean on my shoulder?" She lowered her voice and said, "According to reason, you should call me mother!"

The corners of Shen Xingxi's mouth twitched slightly, and the sadness in his heart disappeared without a trace.

Seeing the concerned look on Scholar Zhao's face, a smile spread across his lips, "If Scholar Zhao hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that Lady Luo (the former Crown Princess) was transferred back to the capital by me and will become a cabinet scholar like you. I'm sure that the relationship between you, the former mother-in-law and the former daughter-in-law, will get along very well."

That year, the Crown Prince was imprisoned by Mo Hongyun, and the Crown Princess was ordered to divorce and released from the palace. Lord Luo participated in the imperial examination the year Shen Xingxi ascended the throne.

This time it was Master Zhao's turn to have his mouth twitch slightly. He thought it was already helpless that the son of his son's biological father became his superior, but he did not expect that the former daughter-in-law who had divorced his son would become a colleague of the same rank and position.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for understanding that I am too tired and arranging an assistant for me."

"It's a small matter." Shen Xingxi curled her lips, "If Zhao Da hadn't failed the imperial examination, I would have wanted to bring you mother and son together."

Once again, Master Zhao felt that it was good for his son to be uneducated.

He bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty's shoulders are too thin, I am afraid that only the shoulders of Yun Daxueshi can support you. I hope Your Majesty will recover soon."

Shen Xingxi smiled and waved, then got on the carriage and returned to the palace.

As soon as he entered the palace, the system couldn't help but come out to join in the fun: [Host, you are back! Xiao Yunyun is about to become a resentful husband.

He finally heard the sound of the venomous snakes moving out, and came back happily to take credit for it with you, but he didn't expect you were not there.

You don't know how aggrieved he must have felt when he was sulking while reviewing memorials. 】

Mo Hongyun put down his brush and said through gritted teeth: "How could I be angry with Xingxi!"

Shen Xingxi smiled, walked up to him, touched his smooth hair, and whispered, "Yunyun is amazing. The snake got out of the hole so quickly."

Mo Hongyun's eyes brightened instantly, but he said, "What's so difficult about this?"

Shen Xingxi laughed, [System, what was Mo Hongyun thinking just now? ]

System: [Hahahaha, what Mo Hongyun is thinking is: Hehehe, I’m praised! So happy! No, I can only be unstable in bed, it’s better to be stable at other times.]

Mo Hongyun's face turned red.

System: [What Mo Hongyun is thinking now is: Why are you still trying to spy on my thoughts? What will Xingxi think of me? ]

Shen Xingxi buried her face in Mo Hongyun's neck and laughed out loud.

She smiled and kissed his neck, "Yunyun, looks like we have to be busy again."

Mo Hongyun said, "Hmm," and said, "I will fully cooperate with you."

"I've been waiting for you to say this." Shen Xingxi held his earlobe in her mouth and said in a vague voice, "Then let's indulge ourselves before we get busy. You just cooperate."
