Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Of course Shen Xingxi couldn't hear Prince Yun's voice and continued chatting with the Crown Princess and Madam Zhai.

Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess would walk up to her and ask softly, "Princess Yun, can I talk to you in private?"

Shen Xingxi naturally agreed and walked behind a rockery with the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess looked a little unnatural, but she still stood straight, exuding a noble and elegant temperament.

"Princess Yun, I won't beat around the bush. I just want to ask if you are doing well in Yun Palace."

A look of surprise flashed across Shen Xingxi's eyes. She wasn't familiar with the Crown Princess, was she?

But the Crown Princess' voice has a unique charm, crisp with a hint of calmness, elegant with a hint of nobility.

It always felt like a sincere voice asking her if she was doing well.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Princess, I am doing very well."

"You...why don't you care about Prince Yun..." The Crown Princess wanted to say something but stopped, but Shen Xingxi understood.

Even if the Crown Princess can be a little bit capricious in her natal family, she will inevitably want to have children after marrying into the royal family, and will have wild thoughts if the Crown Prince does not touch her.

She smiled softly and said, "Crown Princess, maybe I didn't have a good life in my parents' home, so my requirements are low. I don't covet my husband's favor. I enjoy the life I have earned through my own labor.

I know that what people say about me is nothing more than that I will be a widow all my life, but King Yun’s affairs are not something I can control. Why should I worry about these things?

Don't worry, Crown Princess. I am really living a good life. No one in the palace can suppress me. I can come and go freely and do whatever I want. To put it bluntly, there is no need for a woman to revolve around men in her life.

Look at the porridge stalls set up by Prince Yun’s Mansion this time. The people remember my kindness. I also look forward to being able to run a business on my own as a woman. I will open businesses all over the country. Wherever there is a disaster, my name will be there. Even then, it may not be Princess Yun, but my name, Shen Xingxi. "

She curled her lips: "Does the Crown Princess want to join us?"

The Crown Princess looked at Shen Xingxi deeply and suddenly asked, "Do you know about me?"

Although she was questioning, her eyes were firm.

Shen Xingxi asked back: "It can't be that the Crown Princess is caring about me for no reason, right?"

The Crown Princess raised her lips and smiled, "Just pretend I didn't hear what you said today. If my daughter can really do business tomorrow, I will ask you for advice. I hope you won't keep anything to yourself."

"Of course."

The two looked at each other, saying nothing.

The Crown Princess left surrounded by servants. Shen Xingxi knew that letting the woman do business was another step forward.

When she returned to the Crown Prince's wife, she heard the Queen send someone to say that the venue for the three-legged race was ready.

This was a grassy area covered with thick blankets and surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids to prevent anyone from doing anything that might harm others.

The Queen and the Crown Princess will not participate, and the rest of the people will form teams of three. Shen Xingxi will naturally form a team with the Crown Prince's Consort and Madam Zhai.

Every six teams compete together, the winning team will proceed to the next round, and the top three will receive extra rewards from the Queen.

Shen Xingxi couldn't help but admire the Queen for being able to formulate these rules in such a short time and even set up a human eye monitor.

The competition is held from high to low levels, which means Shen Xingxi and the other two will participate in the first game.

The palace servants tied everyone's legs together.

The Crown Prince's Consort was in the middle, with Shen Xingxi and Madam Zhai on both sides.

Soon, the competition horn was blown.

The experienced Shen Xingxi suggested getting used to the commands first and not rushing to achieve results at the beginning.

The Crown Princess and Madam Zhai naturally agreed.

Therefore, they fell behind.

The wife of the Minister of Industry, who had always looked down on the Crown Prince's Consort for not being as gentle and gentle as a girl, looked back and smiled secretly, "Didn't the Crown Prince's Consort learn martial arts? How come she is at the end...ah!"

Before she could finish her words, she lost her balance and fell flat on her face.

The Crown Prince's Consort was laughing so hard that her body was shaking. "Hahahaha, Madam of the Minister of Works should just worry about yourself! I can't... Oops!"

Because she was busy talking, she forgot to listen to the commands and her wife did not stand steadily.

Madam Zhai and Shen Xingxi reacted quickly and picked up the Crown Prince's Consort.

The Crown Princess felt embarrassed. She had just laughed at others and almost fell down.

He touched his nose and instantly became obedient.

The wife of the Minister of Works, who was still angry about the fall, felt relieved now. Seeing that there were many people falling down, she suddenly felt that it was not so embarrassing.

At this time, Shen Xingxi and the other two surpassed her.

She immediately raised her legs to chase him, but was greeted with another prostration.

She stamped her feet in anger, this game is poisonous!

But she was in the middle, and the two outside were afraid of being implicated by her, so they stood firmly in place and did not move...

He could only urge her verbally, "Let's hurry up, at least don't be the last one!"

But it's no use being impatient in this game.

After falling countless times, he gradually learned his lesson and started shouting slogans.

When everyone worked together to rush to the other side, they couldn't help but smile.

Only then did they realize that sweat had already appeared on their foreheads, their heartbeats had quickened and they were breathing heavily. The smiles were frozen on their faces and the corners of their lips could not be lowered.

They took out their handkerchiefs to wipe their sweat, and watched the next group falling down. As they laughed, they suddenly realized that they were just like these people, able to laugh when they fell down.

I couldn't help but think back to the competition just now. In the end, I only thought about winning and forgot about the usual etiquette. The calls became louder and louder, and I felt inexplicably happy.

This is a feeling they have never felt before.

On weekdays at home, even if they jog, they will be criticized: "You look so flustered, you don't act like a girl at all."

But aren’t Madam Zhai and the Crown Prince’s Consort girls?

If they ride horses galloping, they are no longer women?

A strange feeling rises in my heart, and one day in the future I will get the answer: we define gender, not gender defines us.

The competition was still going on. The Queen Mother looked at the number of times the ladies and young ladies fell and gained more trust in Shen Xingxi.

Especially until the end of the competition, when he saw that Shen Xingxi's group was the only one that had not actually fallen, he was satisfied and gave them a generous reward.

Shen Xingxi was very satisfied to see everyone's smiles. Only by breaking the inherent thinking again and again can we find out what is really suitable.

Next, the Queen ordered people to help all the ladies wash and dress, and the flower-viewing banquet came to an end due to time constraints.

Shen Xingxi kept her promise and took the Crown Prince's wife to buy a bracelet, and also bought a sister version for Mrs. Zhai.

They were all priceless items in Cuiyuxuan, and she bought them without blinking an eye.

The Crown Prince's wife was so envious that she couldn't help but mention it when she gave the bracelet to her elder sister.

Madam Zhai narrowed her eyes and said, "Go and tell Princess Yun that I will ask the General's Mansion to approve women doing business."

The Crown Prince's Consort understood immediately: "Sister, do you want me to learn business from Princess Yun?"

Mrs. Zhai nodded and looked at her sister tenderly. She would feel more at ease if her sister had money on her.

On the other side, Shen Xingxi had just returned to Prince Yun's Mansion when she heard Xinghuo hurriedly say, "Master, the prince sneaked out of the palace and is waiting for you at the Shen Mansion."

[What is the prince doing again!] Shen Xingxi couldn't help but complain, [Can't I just take a break?]

The system coughed lightly: [Host, the prince just wants to have a candlelight dinner with you. ]

Shen Xingxi was speechless.

Prince Yun was furious as he looked at the memorial in front of him.

System comfort: [Host, don't be angry. I will be able to transform in another quarter of an hour. If you kiss me, I will calm down. ]

[Okay, then let the prince wait a little longer.] Shen Xingxi smiled.

Prince Yun threw the memorial to the ground.
