Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

[System, I am actually very grateful to you. Do you know what was the most common sentence I heard in my previous life?] Shen Xingxi bit her lips, [What can you do?]

[I was the one who did the laundry, cooking, mending clothes, and cleaning the house. They went to farm and I went to school. They came home earlier than me, but they just collapsed on the sofa and watched me busy as if it was their right.

If my food is too salty, they will say to me: "If you can't even cook well, what else can you do?" If I wash clothes slowly, they will say to me: "You can't even wash clothes, what else can you do?"

Whatever I did would be denied. At that immature age, I just thought it was my own fault. All the girls in the village were the same. They all thought it was their own problem and could not escape this repressive control.

To be honest, even though I left the village for five years, absorbed information from the outside world like crazy, and tried hard to stand in the most dazzling position, I still felt lacking in confidence.

Without you, I might spend this life in a daze, watching the environment numbly that can only be broken by a miracle. I might also feel that life is hopeless and waste the opportunities of this life. 】

【And you are my miracle. 】

The system sniffed: [Host, we have achieved each other's success. I have already volunteered to join the Spark. ]

[Then can my little Xing Xing please stop crying? ] Shen Xingxi asked in a coaxing tone.

[Host, you are annoying! ] The system covered its face shyly. The host's doting tone was too intoxicating for the system.

[Hahaha...Does Little Star have any interesting gossip? Can you make me, your host, happy?]

【Host, wait for me to find it. 】

Shen Xingxi said "hmm" and did not urge the system, continuing to review the memorials.

However, there was a storm in Prince Yun's heart.

The princess has memories of her previous life. In her previous life, she lived in an environment where women could study, but she was also depressed because of the preference for boys over girls.

The princess has no master, she wants to change the status of women and break the rules that have existed for thousands of years.

But are rules so easy to break?

He suddenly understood why the princess wanted to kill him and find someone to replace him.

Rules are always made by those in power, and the prerequisite for change is to stand at the top.

But those in power are also helpless. They are restrained by the aristocratic families and the private relationships among officials are complicated. Even after the rules are made, there may be no one to enforce them.

The princess is kindhearted and doesn't want to involve innocent people, but this is also a weakness.

She can't move freely, and the road ahead will only become more and more difficult.

Prince Yun sighed. He was worried about the princess. This lofty ideal was like Chang'e flying to the moon. It could not be achieved without some magical powers.

But I have to admit that after knowing what happened in the princess's past life, I no longer have the desire to stop her.

The princess was so pitiful in her previous life.

He glanced at the princess secretly. Thinking of what happened to the princess in her previous life, she must be feeling very sad now, right?

Even so, I am still thinking about comforting the system.

He pursed his lips and spoke with some difficulty: "Mr. Shen, it's thundering outside again, can you hug me?"

Shen Xingxi looked at his red ears and shy eyes, hooked him and the chair in front of her with her foot, put one hand into his clothes, and put the other hand around his waist.

Prince Yun buried his face in her neck: "Thank you Mr. Shen for hugging me. If Mr. Shen encounters something that he cannot get over, Yun is always here to serve you."

Shen Xingxi moved her hand down and touched his abdominal muscles. "I'm not happy right now. Let's warm each other up."

"I can't ask for it."

The system popped up: [Host, you touch yours, I'll tell you gossip! Did you know? Yun Jingce wet his pants once when he was four years old. ]

Prince Yun's expression froze. How could the system know such things?

[But he didn't actually pee that time. He drank the wine instead of water and spilled the strong tea on the bed while dizzy.]

King Yun pricked up his ears. It turned out that he didn't wet the bed that time! He wouldn't have known it if the system hadn't told him.

[What’s funny is that he thought he had wet the bed the next day, so he secretly washed the sheets and said to himself: My urine is fragrant.]

Shen Xingxi couldn't help it and pinched his abdominal muscles.

【Ha ha ha ha……】

Prince Yun tried hard to control his breathing so that the princess would not notice anything unusual, but his silver teeth were almost broken.

That's just because you feel you have lost face and are comforting yourself!

System: [What’s even funnier is that because he was afraid of being discovered, he put the sheets back on the bed after washing them, and the yellow color was not washed off at all.]

Prince Yun is cursing, could you please stop?

How could the system let him go?

[Then the next day he thought he had wet his pants again, but the urine had already dried up in his sleep, so he started washing the sheets again.]

[Three days passed like this, and the servants remembered to change his bed sheets. Then, seeing his nervous expression that could not be hidden despite his young age, they were sure that he had wet the bed, and that they had wasted so many days of washing the sheets.]

Prince Yun was so angry that he held the princess' hand.

There can't be so many good things, touching him and laughing at him at the same time!

"Mr. Shen, have you been touching me long enough?"

Shen Xingxi happily withdrew her hand and let the handsome man leave her arms.

Suddenly I thought of that useless summoning skill, [System, summon some tattered clothes for Yun Jingce. ]

【OK. 】

But as the system finished answering, nothing happened.

Shen Xingxi curled her lips and finished the last bit of work.

She thought for a moment and asked, "The prince is at Nanny Yan's place now. I'll have someone pretend to be Nanny Yan. Do you want to come with me?"

Prince Yun's eyelids twitched. He really didn't want to get involved in this messy relationship, but his mouth couldn't be controlled. "Then let's go and take a look. It's more lively with more people."

“It’s really lively.”

-

Nanny Yan's courtyard.

Xingyin, who was pretending to be Nanny Yan, was the first to pretend to rush back to the mansion to pay her respects, "Greetings to the Crown Prince. It is my fault for making him wait for so long."

The prince waved his hand and looked at Nanny Yan. She had an ordinary appearance and figure, but her speech and behavior were okay. How did she become Mr. Shen's confidante?

Thinking of this, he asked, "I heard that you are Mr. Shen's confidante. How did you seduce her?"

Shen Xingxi's face darkened as he just pushed the door open.

It's clearly a situation where both parties are in love, so why do people always say that the woman seduced the man?

I had wanted to act out a scene with Xingyin where she protected the prince, but now I really can't bear it anymore.

"Your Highness, I seduced her. Nanny Yan's chess skills are so impressive that I cannot even begin to respect her. How can you simply conclude that it was Nanny Yan who seduced her? You are insulting her!"

The prince frowned. Even though he had feelings for Mr. Shen, he couldn't bear to see him being scolded for another woman.

Shen Xingxi took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and closed her eyes. "Please forgive me, Your Highness. I lost my temper. Nanny Yan is actually my adoptive father's daughter. She has taken care of me since I was a child. I really can't bear to see her being insulted, especially by you, Your Highness."

"I am sorry to come down at an inopportune time and disturb the prince from asking Nanny Yan something. I will take my leave first." She looked at the prince deeply and opened the door.

Yun Jingce, who was outside the door, gave the princess a veiled look and asked, "Mr. Shen, what do you mean? Why is the crown prince a special case?"

"Mr. Yun, you have crossed the line. Our relationship started with the aphrodisiac that day. You should stop interfering in my emotional affairs."

Prince Yun's eyes were red, and he threw himself into the princess's arms: "Mr. Shen, I was wrong. Can't I do whatever you want tonight?"
