Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Emperor Jingzhao listened quietly to Lingyan's speech, his deep eyes flashing with thoughtful light.

He lowered his head slightly, his fingers gently tapping the armrest of the throne, carefully considering Lingyan's words.

The benefits of this action rolled through his mind like pearls, forcing him to admit that Lingyan's words were indeed true.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Ling Yan with a hint of approval in his eyes, and nodded gently, saying, "What you said is indeed correct; these benefits are real and tangible."

But he was a man of deep thoughts, and how could he be completely unaware of Lingyan's intentions?

So he changed the subject, a faint smile curving his lips, but his eyes revealed a sharp insight: "But you don't need to be so eloquent. I know very well that your purpose has always been to rescue these women, and other purposes are just incidental, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lingyan stood upright with a calm expression, not avoiding Emperor Jingzhao's gaze, and replied very frankly: "Yes, I admit that my actions were indeed to rescue these women from their suffering. But it is undeniable that the benefits I mentioned are also very real. The harm caused by brothels has affected the country and the people. Now that it has been abolished, it not only saves those unfortunate women, but also benefits the country and the people. This is a win-win situation."

"So regardless of your purpose, isn't this a good thing? Moreover, this matter has not caused any disputes or disturbances; everything has been very peaceful. So please forgive me for acting first and reporting later. I know that this action may have been inappropriate, but I really can't bear to see those women trapped in the mire. I only hope that you can understand my good intentions."

Emperor Jingzhao nodded slightly after hearing this, his expression gradually turning into approval and satisfaction.

Then his voice, deep and mellow, echoed slowly in the silent palace.

"I have long understood that there is nothing you cannot do if you set your mind to it. You are meticulous and decisive, and every step you take seems to be carefully planned. Since you dare to do it, you must be fully confident that you will not cause trouble."

He paused slightly, his thoughts seemingly drifting back to the hesitations and weighings he had made when faced with numerous matters in the past: "And indeed, that is the case. You did a great job. This matter has been resolved perfectly, and you were right to consider it. If I had known in advance, I would have been afraid of causing unrest and let it go. As the Son of Heaven, although I care about the world, I am sometimes bound by many concerns, and I am not as courageous as you are."

He sighed softly and said self-deprecatingly, "Now it seems that I overthought things. Fortunately, you have such courage, which allowed the abolition of brothels to be carried out smoothly. It is a blessing for the country and the people."

Upon hearing this, Lingyan looked at him with understanding and said slowly, "No, Father is the ruler of a country and bears the heavy responsibility of the nation. The things he has to consider are naturally different from those of his daughter-in-law. You need to weigh the various forces, take into account the stability of the court, the will of the people, and the long-term development of the country. Every decision you make has a ripple effect, so you can't act like your daughter-in-law."

“Daughters-in-law are different. They don’t need to bear such heavy pressure. They can act freely according to their own thoughts based on their own morality and sympathy for those suffering women, without many constraints and considerations.”

Emperor Jingzhao shook his head slightly upon hearing this, his eyes filled with approval and deep meaning as he said, "While it may seem reckless, you did consider the bigger picture before acting this way. Although you are bold in your actions, you are not without reason or acting rashly. Before taking action, you must have anticipated all the possible consequences and planned your response accordingly, which is why the reactions from all sides have been stable and have not caused any turmoil or chaos. Otherwise, things would not be so peaceful right now."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yan smiled slightly, revealing a humble yet gratified expression, and nodded gently.

Seeing this, Emperor Jingzhao looked at her with great approval and appreciation and nodded.

This creates a harmonious atmosphere of mutual understanding and recognition.

Like a warm spring breeze, it gently caressed every corner of the Imperial Study.

When their eyes met, it was as if an invisible bridge was built, conveying respect and trust.

Xiao Muyao, witnessing such a harmonious scene, smiled slightly, like a gentle spring breeze.

My heart felt as if it were being gently caressed by the warm spring sun, filled with warmth and comfort.

…………

The Women's Federation initiative was easier to implement than I had imagined.

First of all, people's views are very different from before.

Therefore, the obstacles encountered in this matter were not small.

Although some people still oppose it, it has no impact on the overall situation.

In addition, the newspapers had already published the stories of many tragic women in advance.

These women were all bullied because they were helpless and had no one to stand up for them.

Therefore, he had already won everyone's sympathy and indignation.

Therefore, after the newspapers detailed what the Women's Federation was and what its responsibilities were, many people strongly agreed with and supported it.

In addition, the Eighth Princess is in charge of the Women's Federation.

Therefore, judging from the news reports, this matter must have been approved by His Majesty and then entrusted to the Eighth Princess to carry out.

Of course they wouldn't object, nor would they dare to object.

Therefore, the establishment of the Women's Federation, as well as the recruitment, training, and service provision of staff, proceeded very smoothly.

And in this process, the four princesses who had already married—the eldest, second, third, and fourth princesses—were also involved.

The Third Princess and the Fifth Princess also joined in, becoming members of the Women's Federation.

Besides them, some women from prominent families also took the initiative to step out of their homes and participate.

Of course, many ordinary women also came to apply and joined the alliance as employees.

This situation filled Lingyan with excitement and relief.

If this trend continues, more women will likely step forward in the future.

Whether it was the tenth and eleventh princesses who volunteered to apply for jobs at the newspaper last time, or Zeng Qi, Miss Fan, Miss Nangong, and Miss Zheng, or these women this time.

They were all typical noble ladies from ancient times.

If they had followed their previous ideas, they would have inevitably married and had children when they reached the right age, following their predetermined path.

Then she was trapped in the inner quarters of her home for the rest of her life, living for her husband and children, while she wasted her life.

It's like having a script written in advance; everyone is living for others, but not for themselves, losing any sense of self.

But now, their thinking has completely changed.

They no longer wanted to live according to their predetermined fate.

They want to break free and live a different kind of life, to live authentically, and to live for themselves.

So she, along with the Seventh Princess, Eighth Princess, Ninth Princess, Xie Zhiyi, and Jiang Muxue, really influenced a lot of people and changed many people's thoughts!

And there are both men and women!

And it is precisely because they influenced these people.

And these people will soon influence even more people.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

The era when only a few of them dared to step forward is over.

They will eventually inspire more women to stand up and become part of the stars.
