The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

After all, these words challenged male power. Even though he and Xie Ci'an loved each other so much, she was not sure what Xie Ci'an was thinking.

Xie Ci'an raised his hand and gently scratched the tip of Gu Jianchu's nose. "I don't think the Queen's words are heretical. Men's rights should not be used on women, to restrain or torture women. People are born equal. Men can become officials and do what they like, and women can do the same. If women can be more open-minded, perhaps there won't be so many poor women who are deceived so miserably."

"I can accept this idea, but it would be difficult to get all the men in the world to accept it. After all, this idea affects their interests. They want someone to hold them in high esteem, and they also want three wives and four concubines."

"I know these things don't happen overnight, including allowing women to serve as officials. That's not something that can be done overnight either. So I want to open a girls' school so that women can also go to school and broaden their horizons, so that they don't just focus on men. Although some things may be difficult to achieve, at least there is some hope. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"It is a good idea to set up a girls' school, but I am afraid it cannot be popularized to all girls at the beginning. Only the daughters of officials in the capital can enter." Xie Ci'an strongly agreed with Gu Jianchu's idea of setting up a girls' school.

There are not only talented men in the world, but also many talented women. They are wasted because of the separation between men and women and can only be busy in the inner house.

It would also be great if it could give the Queen something to do.

Gu Jianchu didn't expect Xie Ci'an to agree so readily. He thought he would have to talk some more.

Seeing Gu Jianchu's surprised expression, Xie Ci'an knew that this girl probably didn't expect him to agree.

Xie Ci'an pecked the corner of Gu Jianchu's mouth in revenge, raised his hand and gently pinched the soft flesh on her waist, but his other hand tightly protected Gu Jianchu's waist, fearing that the little girl would struggle and get hurt. "Why, do you look at your husband like this? You think he will definitely not agree."

"No, I know that the Emperor is kind-hearted and will definitely agree. However, I have also thought about what the Emperor said. If this girls' school is established, I am afraid that only the children of officials can enter, or those who are squeezed in by their connections. But it doesn't matter. Although it will only admit the daughters of officials in the court at the beginning, it will eventually be popularized to ordinary people's homes over time. All things are difficult at the beginning, but with this beginning, it will be much easier in the future. Don't you agree, my husband?"

Gu Jianchu had never called him "husband" before, so when she did, it felt a bit strange, with a shy blush on her face.

She wrapped her arms around Xie Ci'an's neck, and after shouting, she buried her face in Xie Ci'an's chest.

Looking at Gu Jianchu's shy appearance, Xie Ci'an's heart began to beat wildly. If it were in the past, he would probably do something, but now the queen is still pregnant, he really can't do anything, he can only suppress the evil fire that is gradually rising in his body.

I didn't expect Gu Jianchu to be so open-minded.

"You're pregnant now, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to worry too much about these things. I'll let Shuangjiang come and help you. After all, we still need to choose a site and prepare many things. I think many wives of officials in the capital will support you in setting up a girls' school. Why don't you choose two capable people to help you?"

"I support them, but I don't want to use them. They are too purposeful. I think it's better to use Mu Yao. Mu Yao is divorced and at home now. I'm afraid she has nothing to do. Although she can go to help my sister, the girls' school is also for the benefit of girls. I believe she will be happy to participate. And there is also Miss Xie Qingzhi. If there is anything she doesn't understand, she can ask Xie Qingzhi to ask Jiang Yuanzi. But this female teacher may be difficult to find." Gu Jianchu pulled his face out of Xie Ci'an's arms, and his face was full of melancholy when he thought of this.

Xie Ci'an naturally tucked Gu Jianchu's slightly cold fingers into his clothes and said in a gentle tone, "There's no rush to find a female tutor. You can slowly look for one. After all, it takes time to select a location. You can take your time to look around during this period. I will also ask Dean Jiang to help you keep an eye out for one."

"It is a blessing for the people to have a wise ruler like the emperor." Gu Jianchu nestled in Xie Ci'an's arms, blinking his eyes constantly, staring at the man in front of him with his sparkling eyes.

"Achu, please stop flattering me. I think it is a blessing for the people to have Achu." Xie Ci'an complimented the queen.

After the carriage arrived at the palace, Xie Ci'an personally sent the queen back to Kunning Palace, and then hurried back to Chuigong Palace to deal with the unfinished government affairs.

He didn't know when it started, but he would only feel at ease when the queen was by his side.

Because of the matter of setting up a girls' school, Shuangjiang was directly left in Kunning Palace.

Gu Jianchu handed the site selection task to Shuangjiang.

Shuangjiang was from the Imperial City Bureau and was very familiar with every place in the capital. Naturally, he knew where was the most suitable place to set up a girls' school.

Although Yunhe and Zhuxi could help her deal with these matters, compared to Shuangjiang, they were not as familiar with the capital, and they served in the palace all day long, so it would be more troublesome to find them.

The day after Gu Jianchu handed the matter over to Shuangjiang, Shuangjiang selected five positions for her to choose from.

Inside the Kunning Hall, the brazier was crackling, and the hall was filled with warmth, which attracted the red and green plum blossoms in the pots to bloom one after another. Gu Jianchu was not wearing a phoenix robe today, but a dress embroidered with red pomegranates, and a red pomegranate embroidered jacket on top. The edge of the jacket was trimmed with rabbit fur, which added a bit of playfulness to the bright color.

She wore a ruby hairpin in her bun, which matched her clothes perfectly.

Gu Jianchu sat at the kang table, leaning against a soft pillow, with a charcoal basin beside him and a hot water bottle in his hand.

Yunhe took the address chosen by Shuangjiang and presented it to her.

There are five locations in total, one of which is right next to Arimatsu Academy. There is a vacant lot over there, which is very suitable for setting up a girls' school. If construction starts now, it will be completed next spring and the girls' school will be established. It is also very close to Arimatsu Academy, just separated by a wall.

But it is a bit far from the capital.

As for the other four places, one of them is in the west of the city, which is already outside the capital. Although the area is large, it is inhabited by people from slums.

There are three other places, one of which is next to Chunshui Embroidery Workshop, another is near the official residence in the east of the city, and the last one is the residence of the eldest prince.
