After rebirth, the eldest princess dotes on her husband

"Women serve as officials in the court," Yun Shuyue took a sip of the brewed tea, looked away, and smiled. "If women serve as officials in the court, I think they will not be like they are now, fighting for the favor of men. They will live a better life than now."

"elder sister……"

"Aci, I know what you want to say to me, but this matter cannot be resolved by just one word from you and one word from me. In the eyes of the people of Western Chu, this is heresy. They believe that women are born to be dependent on men. Before marriage, they should obey their fathers. After marriage, they should obey their husbands. After their husbands die, they should obey their sons."

"Western Chu is not Eastern Ling. The women of Western Chu only know how to submit to men blindly and regard men as their gods. They set up girls' schools and let women serve as officials in the court. But how many of them can withstand the secular gaze and persist to the end?" Yun Shuyue asked.

"As women, women in Dongling can do what women in Xichu can do, but they are unwilling to do it," Yun Shuyue changed the subject, "Aci, do you have an idea?"

Shen Yici shook his head, "I have no idea. After all, not all women are like you. Just like you said, Xichu is not Dongling. The ideas they receive are obedience, not resistance. Puppets can only be manipulated and will not have their own ideas. Xichu and Dongling are two extremes."

Deep-rooted ideas cannot be eradicated.

Shen Yici's eyes shook slightly, and he suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Yuebao, I think I have an idea."

"what?"

Shen Yici came close to her and muttered for a long time, "How about this method?"

Yun Shuyue frowned slightly, holding her forehead helplessly and said, "I seem to have guessed how those people are going to say bad things about me behind my back."

Shen Yici burst out laughing and patted her head, "My poor Yuebao, you are dedicated to serving the people but still have to be criticized by them. Kiss, pat your head, I won't be sad anymore."

"We can't rush this matter. We can consider it after we get married."

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the door, the door was pushed open, and Lu Jinnian walked in from outside.

"Master, we can't stop you..."

Yun Shuyue glanced at Changli and said, "Stand outside the door and don't let anyone else in."

"Chao'er..."

Shen Yici started crying and looking silly again, and took a piece of cake from the plate, "Sister, eat it, it's very sweet."

Yun Shuyue: “…” My dear, how can I cooperate with you to finish this scene?

"Sister, open your mouth, ah..."

Yun Shuyue opened her mouth and took a bite. It tasted really good.

"Chao'er, let's sit down and talk calmly, okay?"

"What are we talking about? About my marriage to A-Ci?"

Shen Yici looked at Lu Jinnian, then at Yun Shuyue, bit his index finger, and looked stupid, almost drooling with his mouth open.

"I have something very important to tell you, about you and the Queen. Aren't you curious about why the Queen treats you like this?"

Yun Shuyue's eyes turned cold, "Prince Regent, what happens between me and the Queen has nothing to do with others."

"Chao'er, can you please consider this as a plea from me? I don't need a long time, just a little while, just a cup of tea, okay?"

Yun Shuyue was about to refuse, but Shen Yici sat down obediently on the chaise longue beside her, "Sister and brother are talking, Ah Ci will sit here and wait for sister to come back, and will not run around."

"Changli, Changfeng, stay with the prince at all times. If anything happens to him, I will kill you!"

"Yes."

Yun Shuyue stood up and walked to Lu Jinnian's side. "Don't you have something to say to me?"

"Here," Lu Jinnian led the way for her, and walked into another private room after many turns. "You're back too, right?"

"I don't understand what you are saying."

"Bai Wan'er planted a forgetfulness poison on me and controlled me, so I broke off the engagement with you and did things that hurt you and made you sad. Chao'er, those were not what I wanted." Lu Jinnian felt extremely regretful. Whenever he thought about how he had personally fed her poison and caused her tragic death, his heart ached as if it was torn apart.

"So?" Yun Shuyue's eyes were calm. "You told me all this to seek my forgiveness, to let me say that you had no choice and they had schemed against you. I won't blame you for everything that happened in the past, and I will just pretend nothing happened and marry you and live happily with you till we grow old together?"

"That's not what I meant, I..."

"Lu Jinnian, even if you are controlled by the Forgetfulness Gu, forgetfulness does not mean severance of love. Why, just because you were planted with the Forgetfulness Gu, you regard me as your enemy and want to get rid of me as soon as possible? Three years ago, when you came back from the battlefield, what did you say and do to me? Have you forgotten?"

"Whatever Bai Wan'er says is true. You don't believe anything the people around you say. I, Yun Shuyue, am so capable that I can convince the entire West Chu to lie to you. You were planted with the forgetfulness poison, and the poison ate your brain. Are you brainless? You have lost even the simplest judgment ability?"

"I……"

"Lu Jinnian, you want me to forgive you, but that is absolutely impossible. My wedding with Aci is approaching, and I think you already know about it. I'll trouble you, the Regent, with the wedding ceremony."

"Do you really want to marry a fool? Did Empress Sun and Prince Ming force you to do that? Tell me, and I will ask His Majesty..."

Lu Jinnian was about to reach out to pull Yun Shuyue, but she dodged him.

"No one forced me to do this. I volunteered. So what if he's a fool? Even if he's stupid, he's sincere to me. It's better than you guys being hypocritical. It's really disgusting."

"Lu Jinnian," Yun Shuyue took a deep breath, suppressing the hatred in her heart, "My mother passed away, the jade pendant was returned to its original owner, and Wangyou Valley was destroyed. There is no way that we can reconcile. If you just want to tell me this, there is no need for us to continue talking."

"You also know that I am the regent. I am now free from my confinement and the military power is back in my hands. As long as you are willing, I am willing to give it to you. You want to overthrow the Sun family, don't you?"

Shen Yici: This guy is so shameless, I really want to kick him twice.

"Why do I want to overthrow the Sun family?" Yun Shuyue asked in return, "That's my biological grandfather. Even if you have military power, what does it matter? What, Prince Regent, are you trying to usurp the throne and become a traitor? Prince Regent, listen carefully. As long as I am the Regent Princess of Western Chu, Western Chu can only have the surname Yun, and only Yun. A hundred years after my father passes away, the person who ascends the throne will only be my biological brother."

Lu Jinnian clenched his fists so hard that they made a creaking sound. "If the queen is not your biological mother, the royal family has nothing to do with you, and the Sun family has nothing to do with you either? Do you still want to support Yun Yichen to become the new emperor? Chao'er, they are all using you. Once you are no longer of any use, the only thing waiting for you is death!"
