Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Shen Xingxi explained the confusion for the ladies, "Moreover, the benefit of competing for favor is that you can give birth to children sooner. Women have their menstrual period every month, and it is not easy to get pregnant during the menstrual period and the seven days before and after the menstrual period. The eleventh to the eighteenth day is the best time to get pregnant. The time is too short, so it is inevitable that there will be competition for one or two."

The concubines in the palace were bewildered. It was the first time they heard that it was difficult to get pregnant before and after the menstrual period.

So since they can't get pregnant, why should they risk offending people or even their own lives to compete for favor?

What's more, it is impossible for the emperor to have any children now, so there is no point in them competing for his favor.

I have an inexplicable feeling that my past self was filled with water in his brain.

Shen Xingxi looked at the Empress, "First of all, congratulations to the Empress. Your migraine problem has been cured, but I don't think it should be cured. Fighting for favor is the main basis for the Emperor to feel his importance in the eyes of the Empresses. A woman's husband is her God, and the Empresses should revolve around the Emperor!"

The queen frowned. She wanted to be more selfish now and didn't want to hear that she needed to revolve around the emperor.

So it is wrong that women should regard their husbands as their heaven?

The words that had always been regarded as the truth were torn into pieces, with countless fine lines breaking and on the verge of collapse.

Shen Xingxi broke the last thin thread, "Speaking of the husband being the most important thing in life, I want to say a few more words. Women have always lived in the back house and are not as knowledgeable as men.

In life, women can only live by relying on men, so what men say must be right. "

The concubines all raised their teacups to cover their sarcastic lips.

How can there be such absolute things in this world? It's just that Nanny Yan's identity cannot be made public.

But why has no one felt that it is wrong to regard the husband as the God in these hundreds of years?

Everyone here is smart, and you will understand if you think about it.

Even if you notice it, you cannot speak it out; those who speak it out will not have a good end; living in the inner house, you are labeled as ignorant, and what you say and do is not taken seriously, and you have no ability to resist.

After figuring it out, they couldn't help but look at Nanny Yan with inquiring eyes.

Is this the real purpose of Nanny Yan’s class?

Let them no longer accept the fact that their husbands are the most important thing to them and try to change the status quo?

Shen Xingxi seemed not to notice the deep meaning in the ladies' eyes and changed the subject, "Women can only survive by relying on men, so they must compete for favor."

"Madame Yan." The Queen couldn't help but interrupt. How did this person do it? Every word he said made her angry!

I really can't stand hearing words like "I can only live by dependence"!

"Perhaps you don't know, but I have already submitted a petition to the Emperor. I believe that women will be able to engage in business soon and make their own money in the future. It's better not to say such things."

Shen Xingxi couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. With so many concubines present, it was impossible for the Queen to go back on her word. With the support of the General's Mansion, the Crown Princess's family and the Chen family, it was a sure thing for women to be allowed to do business!

She did not endure the nausea in vain, and continued to stimulate the queen to make up her mind.

He tried hard to press down the corners of his lips, but he couldn't help but laugh: "That's because I am ignorant. In the future, women will be able to earn money to support their families. I believe that every household will have more money, and their lives will be better. It's a good thing."

The Queen exposed it directly: "Madame Yan, if you want to laugh, don't hold it back. You are not serious anyway."

Shen Xingxi smiled, "Then I will continue to talk about competing for favor."

The Queen held her forehead with her hand, thinking of the words risking her life for a night of tenderness. When she heard about vying for favor, she felt that Nanny Yan was mocking her.

Shen Xingxi did not miss the Queen's expression, a smile flashed across her eyes, but the situation was different for the concubines in the palace. What she wanted to do was to reduce unnecessary fights among women.

“Let me analyze the means of winning favor one by one, starting with poisoning.

The purpose of poisoning is usually to kill the other party, cause miscarriage, infertility, etc.

The advantage is that if the matter is successful, it can remove the thorn in the eye, but the disadvantage is that men can take concubines at will, and if one is removed, another may come."

Concubine De sighed. What bad intentions does Nanny Yan have? She is just analyzing the pros and cons! But this statement is no different from saying that they have a problem with their brains!

Risking his life to harm others, the emperor would take another one in return.

The key point is that they used to enjoy doing this, with lofty ambitions, and they would do it one by one. But now the palace is no longer able to accommodate concubines.

Shen Xingxi continued to add the disadvantages of poisoning, "Of course, the possibility of poisoning being exposed is relatively high. When you use this method, you are also reminding the other party to use it against you. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. It all depends on whether the emperor is willing to investigate. It also violates benevolence and morality and dirty your own hands. I don't recommend it."

The palace concubines nodded repeatedly, and Nanny Yan finally said something that pleased them.

"It seems that the ladies agree with what I said." Shen Xingxi curled her lips, "Yes, people who are capable of poisoning others are all cruel and ruthless. It is difficult for men not to think that you can poison others, and you may also poison him. It is really not worth it."

The queen smiled when she heard this. She wanted to argue that the emperor saw the concubines poisoning each other, and his arrogance made him never think that someone would poison him, so it was effortless for her to poison him. But she couldn't say it, and she also hoped that the concubines would agree with Nanny Yan's words to make the harem less chaotic and more peaceful.

She spoke slowly, "Madame Yan is absolutely right. Let's not talk about the emperor. For me, it's clear who is plotting against whom. I just turn a blind eye sometimes. Otherwise, this harem..."

She didn't finish her words, but the others knew it very well. If they handled the matter impartially, all of them would have to go to the cold palace.

Shen Xingxi nodded to the Queen to express her gratitude, and then continued, "It's the same with other means of winning favor. Framing others and confusing right and wrong all depends on whether the Emperor wants to intervene. I don't recommend it either."

"Finally, let's talk about the method of mild migraine." Shen Xingxi asked: "Empress and Consort De, I have a question, who will be the best in the end?"

The Queen snorted coldly: "Of course I am better!"

Shen Xingxi: "So overall, apart from the days that the Queen is supposed to sleep with you, how many more days did she sleep with you?"

The queen closed her lips. The struggle lasted for more than ten years, but the total time was less than half a month.

She looked at Concubine De helplessly and smiled, "I suddenly feel that I have been busy for half my life and have gained nothing."

Concubine De glared at the Queen, "Your Highness, what do you mean by that is that I have been busy for half my life, but the gains do not outweigh the losses?"

"You two ladies have not worked in vain. At least you have made the emperor feel that you value him." Shen Xingxi lowered her eyes: "Ladies all depend on the emperor to live, so of course you have to make him value you. So if you don't compete for his favor, the emperor will think twice."

"I used to like to cry out for a headache in my warm bed like the queen. I would feel guilty if my husband didn't come, so I would just fall asleep. When he came, I would be busy..."

She paused, "Of course, if my husband didn't come, I would fall asleep with a feeling of loss and loneliness.

My husband is willing to travel all the way from one courtyard to another to see me, so of course I will happily get up from my warm bed and serve him well.

Even if I catch a cold, have bad skin due to staying up late, feel tired and exhausted, or even get scolded by my husband, it is still a blessing!"
