Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

Yan Hui's case was quickly resolved due to conclusive evidence. The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice jointly tried the case and sentenced him to beheading.

The old emperor personally decreed that he be executed without pardon. Thus, the once-glorious Minister Yan was beheaded before the year was even over.

Ironically, Rongrong's girls' school opened on the very day Yan Hui was executed.

The establishment of a girls' school was something Lian Rongrong had always wanted to do. Born in the 21st century, Lian Rongrong had long been disgusted by the male chauvinism of this era.

And it was no coincidence that she chose this day! Lian Rongrong did it on purpose!

Lian Rongrong named the girls' school "Mingyue Hall" and built it on Yuliang Street in the capital.

There are many private schools here, but Mingyue Hall is the first one built specifically for women.

The opening ceremony of Mingyue Hall was personally presided over by Lian Rongrong. This was because Princess Qi was renowned, and the concept of a girls' school was truly novel.

Therefore, the number of people who came to Yuliang Street to watch the spectacle was even greater than the number of people who came to the execution ground to watch the beheading.

Lian Rongrong wore a plain-colored long dress today, with a pure white fox fur cloak over it.

She looked like a fairy who was untouched by worldly affairs.

Besides Lian Rongrong, about eight female teachers had gathered outside Mingyue Hall. Yan Mingyue and Lanxin were among them.

More than half a month has passed since Yan Mingyue's incident, and people seem to have gradually forgotten about the former Princess Consort of Yi.

But now, as she stands before everyone, she brings back vivid memories of the joke that happened at Nuanxiangju half a month ago.

"Isn't this the Princess Consort of Yi?" a man in the crowd suddenly said in a malicious tone.

Upon hearing this, someone nearby immediately echoed, "People's Princess Consort, she's now a female teacher at Mingyue Hall!"

"A female teacher? What does she teach? Is it bedroom skills?"

"What's wrong with being good in bed? If you're good in bed and can please a man, that's an art in itself, isn't it?"

"That makes sense, hahaha."

The two men were making lewd jokes, as if trampling on a woman's dignity was an extremely honorable thing.

Lian Rongrong stared coldly at the two men who were laughing wildly, her expression growing colder and colder.

"I don't know what's wrong with me lately? Why do I always feel like hitting people?" Lian Rongrong rubbed her furrowed brows, then seemed to console herself:

"On such a fine day, let's avoid violence if we can. A good woman doesn't fight with a dog!"

Lian Rongrong gave the two men a cold look, then gave an order to the guards specially sent by someone beside her:

"Go, throw those two bastards away from me, they're in my way!"

"Yes! Princess!"

The guard bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, then strode menacingly toward the two men.

What are you doing in broad daylight?

"Don't come over! Don't come over!"

The two men, who had just been laughing heartily, suddenly became timid!

But Li Yuanqi's guards didn't care about any of that; their task today was simply to follow the princess's orders.

Without saying a word, several guards took turns carrying the person by the hand or by the foot.

In the blink of an eye, he threw the two foul-mouthed bastards far away.

Lian Rongrong picked at her ear with her fingers with a serious expression: "Finally, some peace and quiet."

After Lian Rongrong's outburst, the onlookers dared not speak loudly anymore, but their eyes spoke volumes.

Yan Mingyue instinctively tried to dodge, but Lian Rongrong pushed her forward.

"Today is the grand opening of Mingyue Hall." Lian Rongrong's voice rang in everyone's ears: "This is our Mingyue Hall's chief female teacher, Yan Mingyue!"

"It really is Yan Mingyue." The crowd began to murmur again.

Lian Rongrong looked around at everyone, and after a few moments, she spoke again: "It's Yan Mingyue. What's wrong? Is there anyone in the entire capital who thinks they are more talented than her?"

Yan Mingyue was once a renowned talented woman in the capital. Before marrying Li Yuanyi, she was the object of secret rivalry among the noble young men of the capital.

If it weren't for the incident at Nuanxiang Residence, she would still be a legendary figure. But since Nuanxiang Residence, everything has changed.

Not to mention others, even Yan Mingyue herself is often troubled by her inner demons.

After a long pause, a middle-aged woman in the crowd mustered her courage and asked:

"Your Highness, although we don't know what this girls' school is for, surely the teachers must be highly respected individuals."

Leaving aside the other gentlemen, this Yan Mingyue, no matter how much talent she possesses, cannot conceal the fact that she is morally corrupt!

Lian Rongrong smiled slightly, this time with a hint of warmth. She looked at the middle-aged woman whose body temperature had returned and replied with a smile:

"Well said! I'm sure you've expressed the sentiments of many people."

Many women among the onlookers nodded secretly, having witnessed Lian Rongrong's methods, but none dared to openly express their thoughts.

"I'd like to ask the women here, do you all think that Yan Mingyue going to Nuanxiangju was an extremely shameless thing to do?"

Lian Rongrong used harsh words, seemingly not caring about Yan Mingyue's feelings.

Apart from the middle-aged woman who had just spoken out, none of the women present dared to confront this issue directly.

"I can guess what you're thinking. Now I'd like to ask another question."

If Yan Mingyue's behavior is unforgivable, then what about your philandering husbands? What about them?

When men frequent brothels or take concubines into their homes, do you ever consider this an unforgivable and despicable act?

"How can they be the same?"

"Yes, how can women be the same as men?"

A low murmur finally broke out in the crowd. And this person, regardless of gender, seemed to be on the opposite side of Lian Rongrong.

Lian Rongrong shook her head with a laugh, her voice rising slightly.

"How are they different? Where are they different? If men need women to be faithful, then why should they be able to indulge in debauchery?"

As a man, I'm not surprised that you want to enjoy this privilege. But as a woman, I really want to ask, why do you belittle yourselves?

We are human beings too. Why can't we demand fidelity from our husbands? Why should we restrain ourselves and abide by propriety, yet endure a man's betrayal?

This world always lets men's mistakes slide. But when it comes to women? It's always a huge fuss!

Yan Mingyue, lift your head up! You're much cleaner than Li Yuanyi and Yan Hui.

They at least have some self-respect, so why don't you? They say a prodigal son's return is more precious than gold, so why can't it be the same for a woman?

Men's mistakes are leniently overlooked, but women's mistakes are met with death? What kind of logic is that?

The crowd, which had been discussing animatedly, suddenly fell silent, and many women showed expressions different from before.

They never seemed to have thought about the issue this way. Yes, why should men be able to do whatever they want, while women have to swallow their anger?

The silence at that moment was deafening; it was the awakening of consciousness in all the women present!
