Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

[I don’t know either.] The system smiled mysteriously.

Shen Xingxi was silent for a moment, kept in mind what the system told her, and continued to talk to the prince about the women's college.

In fact, it is not difficult to establish a women's college in the harem. As long as the prince and the queen give an order, the servants will run around for it.

Shen Xingxi was mainly helping the prince analyze matters involving the women's college.

The Emperor had done something that disregarded the Crown Prince's safety and he completely lost trust in him, so he wanted to use the absurdity of establishing a women's college to put an indelible stain on the Crown Prince.

Minister Chen wanted to take this opportunity to completely pull the prince into the same camp as him, and that’s why he was willing to help establish the women’s college.

She had already planned to set a trap for the emperor by saying: "The emperor asked the prince to ask the madam to teach him. The prince felt that it was an insult to the concubines, so he secretly invited a woman with a chastity arch to teach him."

……

The prince listened with his chin propped up by his hand and yawned continuously. Finally, he couldn't hold it any longer and took a sip of the strong tea. He sighed and said, "Mr. Shen has great energy and a good brain. I really can't listen to him."

He leaned back in his chair, his eyes became dull and the corners of his lips drooped slightly, as if the whole world had lost its color, leaving only endless loss.

"Mr. Shen, why do you think my father doesn't care about me?"

He did not wait for Shen Xingxi to answer, as if talking to himself or confiding: "When I was a child, my father was very good to me. Because I didn't want to study, I deliberately made trouble for the teacher. My father could clearly see it, but he stood on my side unconditionally and scolded the teacher.

When I was a child, my father would order people to find whatever I wanted and give it to me to play with.

My father said that even if I was uneducated and unskilled, he would build a solid dynasty for me.

But all this changed when I grew up. My father started to be suspicious of me, and I had to act ridiculously to get a word of concern from him.

I obeyed my father's will and harmed the people, but when I heard his praise, I actually felt it was worth it. Don't you think it's funny?"

As he spoke he laughed out loud, his eyes turning red as he laughed.

"Mr. Shen, do you think it is unwise for me to use myself as bait to sow discord between the Emperor and Minister Chen? But do I still have a future? The Eastern Palace has no children."

He stood up and said, "Mr. Shen, just tell me what you want to do. You and Mr. Yun will at least consider the people. Just consider it as my atonement."

Shen Xingxi looked at the prince's back as he left, sighed, stood up and spoke slowly: "Prince, I thank you on behalf of the people of the world. I will try my best to help you ascend the throne. I just hope that you will not forget your original intention."

The prince looked back at Shen Xingxi with tears in his eyes and nodded, "I will."

After the prince left, Shen Xingxi lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup, a hint of sneer flashed across the corners of his lips.

[System, do you know if there are many people around the prince? ]

[Wait for me to look for it.] The system flipped through the messy gossip library, [Host, last night, Minister Chen sent a man to the prince. This man is Mr. Zhou, the new top scholar last year.]

[No wonder the prince's tactics have suddenly become more sophisticated.] Shen Xingxi picked up the teacup and took a sip, [It's a pity that a bad teammate will always be a bad teammate. The prince recalled the past and tried to gain sympathy by saying that he had no future, but he promised me that he would not forget his original intention and tacitly agreed that he would ascend to the throne. What a contradiction!]

The system could only give the host a thumbs up. The prince spoke so sincerely, and the host's opening was a trap.

-

The words are divided into two parts.

Prince Yun quietly came to the Prime Minister's Mansion because he was worried about the flood.

The prime minister was distracted by something and took a long time to enter the secret room.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he opened the door, he saw the golden words above King Yun's head:

【This matter can only be understood but not expressed in words. 】

[There is a very strange family in the capital. The head of the family has six sons...]

[So is this eldest son the emperor's son? ]

【I don't know either. 】

The Prime Minister had never seen such a spectacle before. He stood there for a long time before stepping into the house.

He opened and closed his lips again and again, not knowing where to start.

Prince Yun held his forehead with his hand, "Uncle Li is wondering about Jin Zi, right? The story has to start from the day when the princess married me. On the day the princess married me, I could hear her inner voice and the conversation with a friend of hers who was somewhere unknown.

And this golden letter is the trick of the princess' friend, probably to spread the news. I have observed for a long time, and the princess' friend should know my situation, but he didn't tell the princess. "

The Prime Minister lowered his eyes to hide the shock in his eyes. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and think for a while. "Since the prince can hear the princess's voice, as long as we don't underestimate the enemy, I believe that even if the princess has external forces, it will not have much impact on our plan. Now the most important thing is to solve the problem of the emperor having another heir."

There are not many officials in the court who have given birth to six sons. As long as we check one by one, we will be able to find the emperor's heir.

He looked at Prince Yun, "My Lord, what do you want to do with it when you find it?"

"Kill." There was an odd coldness in Prince Yun's eyes, but his tone was extremely light, as if what he said was insignificant.

He thought for a moment and added, "I remember that Minister Chen had six sons. The fourth and fifth sons died in accidents. He is very likely to be the Minister Chen. If he is really the Minister Chen, maybe he can kill him through him."

The prime minister nodded and then talked about disaster relief.

……

After chatting with the Prime Minister, Prince Yun went out through the secret passage and found that dark clouds had appeared over the sky without him noticing.

The sound of rain was pouring down like a curtain of water, and passers-by were soaked in their clothes in an instant.

My mood can't help but become heavy. I don't know how many people have been displaced by the flood and heavy rain.

It wasn't until the first ray of sunlight appeared three days later that the mood eased a little.

Mr. Yun went to the outskirts of Beijing on behalf of the Crown Prince to settle the people.

Shen Xingxi disguised herself as a brothel owner and walked into the palace with a white handkerchief in her hand and twisting her waist.

Because there were so many women in the palace who had been touched by the emperor, they were divided into seven classes according to their levels. Each class took turns to teach, and each class lasted two hours.

That is, a class has one class every seven days.

Today is the first class, and the students are concubines of the imperial court headed by the Queen and above.

Because this matter was the work of Minister Chen and the Crown Prince, the Queen summoned all the concubines to the lecture hall early in the morning.

Shen Xingxi walked into the hall without bowing or pretending to be a brothel owner. She glanced at the concubines in the room and sat casually at the top of the table.

You could hear a pin drop in the room. She could feel the palace concubine's scrutiny, but she was not panicked at all. She just casually picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly.

Until the Queen spoke first, "Madame Yan, when do you think today's class will start? I have other things to do in the palace."

Shen Xingxi then put down the teacup and said in a calm voice: "I am here on the orders of the Emperor to teach you ladies. Am I not worthy of being called a teacher?"

There was a flash of disdain in the queen's eyes, but her precious son wanted the school to be established, so she had to order the concubines: "Greet Mr. Yan with me."

[It seems that the queen really loves her son. It is not easy for her to do this. ]

System: [Host, the situation has been resolved. I took out my notebook and started taking notes! ]

Shen Xingxi hummed, thought for a moment and asked: [System, can you spread the content of my lectures? ]

[I'll try! Host, you start! ]

Shen Xingxi smiled warmly: "Hello, ladies. Please take a seat! Today is the first class. Let's chat about family matters first."

She picked up the teacup again, and asked casually, as if she were really chatting, "I wonder what methods have the ladies used to please the emperor?"

The hall fell silent again. The word "please" contradicted their reputation, so they couldn't say it, but they had to admit that how could there be favor without pleasing others?

Shen Xingxi chuckled, "It's okay if you don't want to say it. Let me guess. Someone must have made the soup by hand, right? I think the emperor will be touched by your hard work for several hours, but can you guarantee that the soup you make can be better than the imperial chef who practices his cooking skills in the imperial kitchen every day?"

"I suppose there are people who sew clothes by hand. To be fair, can they compare with the embroiderers in the clothing shop?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Shu and Concubine Sun both knocked over their teacups. The only things they could do to please the Emperor were their cooking and embroidery skills, and they often took pride in them and belittled others.

At this time, it is naturally unacceptable that the hard work I have put in is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the emperor.

Shen Xingxi slowly put down the teacup, smiling casually: "There are also people who use their talents, but who can guarantee that they can dance better than a dancer? Play the piano better than a musician? Play chess better than a chess player? Calligraphy and painting better than a talented scholar?"

She looked at the Queen and said, "If the Emperor cares, even if the song is out of tune, he can still get compliments like 'My beloved concubine is really a happy person'. If he doesn't care, what's the point?"

The queen, who was known for her talent, frowned. "Mr. Yan, if you say so, none of us can compare to you. How can we get the emperor's attention? Can we still expect the emperor to remember us?"

"Empress, the problem is that you don't understand men." Shen Xingxi curled her lips as she looked at the fish that had been hooked. "Then let me ask you a question first. Is your life different now than usual, whether you have the emperor's favor or not?"
