Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Looking back in time.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, Xingyin's usual composure disappeared without a trace. She hurriedly ran towards her master. Having learned martial arts for more than ten years, her steps were a little unsteady.

She clenched her fists, as if she was restraining something, but her excitement and excitement could not be concealed and were evident in her words.

Her face flushed, her eyes sparkled like stars, and her voice trembled, "Master! It's a success! The imperial decree has been issued! From now on, women can settle down and do business on their own!"

At that moment, my heart seemed to be about to jump out of my chest, and every beat was filled with strength and anticipation!

After a brief moment of confusion, Shen Xingxi and Xinghuo put down their fishing rods at the same time, and the three of them hugged each other to silently celebrate their victory in the first step.

But there is still a long way to go in the future. The three of them patted each other on the shoulders and embarked on a new journey.

Shen Xingxi took a deep breath to calm herself down, "Xingyin, I will register the Disguise Pavilion under my name as Princess Yun. You go and inform Xingshu to seize this opportunity and register as a resident. I will also sell the fifteen shops we agreed on before to everyone. With me in charge, the Ministry of Revenue will not dare to delay."

"But I have to let you down by not using your real identity."

Xingyin and Xinghuo wiped the tears of excitement from their eyes, "Master, we understand. You are afraid that we will be in danger, so you have been asking us to use fake identities. I believe that one day I will take off the human skin mask and stand in the sun!"

Shen Xingxi's lips curled up slightly, with a bright light flashing in his eyes, "Let's go! Let's work hard together!"

She changed into a slightly solemn but brightly colored outfit and took the Yun Wang Mansion's carriage directly to the Ministry of Revenue.

Although the imperial edict was issued, people always take a wait-and-see attitude towards unknown things. Moreover, women in this world have been bound for too long, and no one wants to be the first to stand out.

But it was not difficult to see that there were little maids in groups of three or four pretending to pass by and wait and see.

Shen Xingxi stretched out her slender hands to lift the curtain. Her dark red dress dotted with silver patterns and designs made her look noble and gorgeous. With the help of Xinghuo, she got off the carriage, her every move revealing elegance.

Xinghuo raised his head and ordered with a haughty look: "Princess Yun is here, why don't you ask your steward to greet her?"

The household registration clerk hurried out of the room and bowed to greet the princess. "I didn't know Princess Yun was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me, Princess Yun."

"Get up! I heard that the emperor has issued an imperial decree, so I came here to transfer the property that was previously under my name to my name. Can the household registration officer handle this?"

"This is my responsibility. Princess Yun told me the information and I will order someone to do it right away." The household registration clerk lowered his eyes to hide the difficulty in his eyes. The imperial edict had just been issued not long ago and he had not yet figured out what it meant. He really did not dare to do the job lightly.

"Then you can quickly give orders. It's not difficult to just visit a few shops. I will wait here. Once the matter is done, I will also donate the disaster relief funds."

Xinghuo's heart moved, and he finally understood why the boss wanted to delay the donation of silver this time.

The household registration officer could only agree and invite Princess Yun into the house.

But when he heard that the Disguise Pavilion was Princess Yun’s property, he was stunned.

As a leader among the shops in the capital, Yirong Pavilion pays the highest amount of commercial taxes every year.

This is also the reason why the Ministry of Revenue can tolerate the Yirong Pavilion's delay in donating silver every time.

So Princess Yun couldn't wait to register the shop under her name, was it for fame?

Although he thought so, he did not dare to ask, because he knew that Princess Yun would not leave until she saw the result today.

In addition, fundraising for the victims has been delayed for a long time, and he privately wants to deliver the relief supplies to the disaster area as soon as possible.

He had worked in the Ministry of Revenue for many years, and finally saw someone willing to take care of the victims. He was willing to do his part without harming himself.

He first asked someone to pass the news from the Ministry of Revenue to the residence of Minister Chen to avoid being held accountable by the minister later, and then he started to work.

At this time, Xingyin and her sisters entered the Ministry of Household Affairs, and they all asked to settle down and register the shops under their own names.

The household registration officer was a little overwhelmed, and he glanced at Princess Yun secretly: He chose the delaying strategy: "Tell me the situation first, and I will order someone to handle it."

"Registration Officer." Shen Xingxi put down the teacup in her hand. Her voice was casual, but it made the registration officer feel inexplicably pressured.

"Why bother? Just do it together with my business." She smiled, but her words were threatening. "Hurry up, I want to go to the palace to thank you this afternoon."

The household registration officer broke out in a cold sweat and dared not delay anymore. Even though the settlement required a lot of investigation and it would normally take three days, he ordered people to complete it within one hour.

After all, as long as Princess Yun gives the order, even if someone appears out of nowhere, it will do, let alone these women with clean family backgrounds.

Under the power of force, all of this was done in less than two hours.

Xingyin and Xinghuo looked at the deed in their hands, which only had their names on it, and their eyes sparkled with excitement.

Shen Xingxi just smiled faintly, she still had a tough battle to fight.

She did not bring anyone with her this time into the palace and entered the Qiankun Palace under the guidance of the eunuch.

Unspeakable voices came from the palace. The emperor never concealed his absurdity.

The sound did not last long before two bodies were carried out.

The body was naked, with handprints on its neck and a purple face.

The eunuch numbly carried the corpse and walked away before he dared to mutter in a low voice: "These two people were rewarded yesterday, how come..."

Shen Xingxi lowered her eyes to hide the anger and sadness in her heart.

When he saw a bloody corpse in the hall, his anger reached its peak and the murderous intent in his eyes could hardly be hidden.

The system quickly jumped out: [Host, don't be impulsive! This kind of situation is common in slave societies. Killing him will not only cost you money, but it will not prevent too many tragedies. Moreover, it will be even more difficult to kill Minister Chen if he takes over. Stay calm.]

Shen Xingxi closed her eyes, her face pale, and her voice was a little tired, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Princess Yun, please excuse me." The emperor leaned against the bed, not hiding the marks on his body, and said with a hint of meaning: "That man actually dared to disobey my order. Do you think I should kill him?"

"I cannot bear to see blood, so I hope Your Majesty will forgive me if I have been disrespectful." Shen Xingxi answered irrelevantly, leaning forward slightly, "I came to thank Your Majesty for allowing women to settle down and do business, so I came to surrender."

The emperor looked at her deeply and said, "I didn't expect that the Disguise Pavilion was your property. Tell me what you are going to use to surrender?"

The system took a deep breath, [Host, he knew about the fact that you just put the property under your name! And it seems that he has been eyeing the Yirong Pavilion for a long time. Wait, the emperor wants you to be obedient? Otherwise, you will be like the man on the ground...]

[Well, I'm most afraid of bad guys being educated. System, I have to pay a price today.]
