"All the school-age boys in Dayun Village went to school, but all the girls stayed at home. None of them went to school."

"Mother, I now understand how great your move to build a women's academy and promote women's ideas is."

Lezhi raised her eyes to look at her mother, the admiration in her eyes almost overflowing.

With the light of the night pearl, Nan Yan could clearly see the emotions in her eyes. She couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Sure enough, she had to go out and see for herself in order to grow.

She touched Lezhi's head and said slowly, "My mother knows very well that the concepts of this era have many constraints on women. Women work just as hard for the family as men, but many people just can't see the efforts of women."

"It's like men working outside and women working inside. Men work hard for the family. Women have to take care of the home, serve their parents-in-law, and take care of the children. It's obviously the result of efforts from both sides, but in the eyes of others, it's the men who are working hard. But who can see the women's hard work?"

"Not to mention the villages, where women work in the fields just like men, and also have to cook and wash clothes, which is very hard."

"So the Queen Mother wants everyone to realize that women's efforts are just as hard as men's, and their efforts are not necessary."

The more Lezhi listened, the brighter her eyes became, and her dark pupils seemed to be glowing in the night.

She couldn't help but blurt out what was in her heart, "Mother, what do you think about me going to the Women's Academy to be a teacher?"

Nan Yan was stunned for a few seconds when he heard her words, then he reacted and looked down at her expression, and saw that she looked serious and was not acting on impulse.

She asked gently and calmly, "Are you sure?"

Lezhi said with a confident look, "Mother, I am sure."

This was the result of her careful consideration. She wanted to be a teacher, to make women realize that they were no worse than men, and to promote women's ideas like her mother.

Thinking of this, her expression became hesitant again, "Mother, do you think I can do it?"

"Of course you can." Nan Yan answered affirmatively without hesitation, "You have been smart and knowledgeable since you were young, you can definitely be a teacher."

"No matter what you want to do in the future, your mother will support you and believe that you can do it well."

Her tone was gentle yet firm, and the look of her wholeheartedly trusting Lezhi gave her endless confidence.

"Mother, thank you."

Lezhi hugged Nanyan tightly with a touched look on her face.

Thinking about what she was going to do in the future, Lezhi was very excited and asked Nanyan many questions. The mother and daughter talked for a long time at night until they couldn't help falling asleep.

The next day, Le Zhi told Queen Mother Shang Yue about her ideas, and they both naturally supported her.

She is the only princess of the Shang Dynasty and the jewel in their hands. She has the confidence and capital to do anything.

Le Yu was also there when Le Zhi was talking about her future plans. He sat quietly aside, watching his sister's joy and pride when she talked about what she wanted to do, with a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

Le Zhi was a person with strong initiative. After making the decision, she asked people to investigate the girls' academies in the town under the jurisdiction of the state capital that was closest to the capital. She planned to choose the academy with the smallest number of students to be a teacher.

While she was waiting for the results of the investigation, Le Yu came to see her and they chatted for the whole afternoon. When Le Yu left, he was no longer expressionless, but a little thoughtful.

The next day, after the morning court session, Le Yu followed Shang Yue to the imperial study.

As soon as he arrived at the imperial study, he thought for a while and said, "Father, I want to travel for a while."

Shang Yue paused as he was about to pick up the teacup, then withdrew his hand and leaned back on the chair, clasping his long and powerful hands, his dark eyes staring at Le Yu.

"Why do you suddenly want to travel?"

"I feel that as the crown prince, you should go deep into the people to understand their sentiments, and not just hear what is happening from the court officials."

Shang Yue's eyes flashed with satisfaction, "Father has agreed to your request, but you should first tell your grandmother and mother about this matter so that they can be mentally prepared."

Le Yu was delighted, but his face was still cold and indifferent. He had the same temperament as Shang Yue before, and it seemed that nothing could cause him to have too much emotional fluctuations.

"My son, I know."

What Le Yu didn't know was that Shang Yue had originally decided to let him go among the people to observe for a period of time. Only what one has seen and experienced with one's own eyes can be considered experience. Unexpectedly, the two of them had the same idea.

Naturally, there was no obstacle from the Queen Mother and Nan Yan.

Nan Yan knew that although her children had high IQs and rich theoretical knowledge, they had no practical experience and really needed more training.

On the fifth day after Le Yu made the decision, he set out with a few guards, but he was also followed by secret guards.

Nan Yan stood at the palace gate and watched the carriage leave, feeling reluctant to let go. This was the first time the child left her side, and she couldn't bear to let him go.

The last time Zhizhi went out for a trip was different from this time. Zhizhi came back after a few days, but Yuer’s return date is uncertain this time, and no one knows when he will come back.

Shang Yue tilted his head, looked at her red eyes, put his arm around her shoulders and hugged her.

"Yan'er, the child will grow up and leave us sooner or later, don't be sad."

"I know that, but I just can't help feeling sad."

Shang Yue sighed softly and could only hug the person tighter.

Half a month later, Le Zhi also decided to go to the girls' academy and set off with her people. She planned to change her identity and name to become a teacher.

The palace suddenly became more deserted with two people missing, and everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

Even the two naughty kids Le Xuan and Le Ci felt bored the whole day. This boredom made them like studying and they filled their days with activities.

They have all decided that they will study hard and master various skills so that when they grow up they can travel around like their royal brothers and sisters.

As soon as Le Yu left, all the affairs of the court piled up on Shang Yue. He was busier than before and didn't have much time to accompany Nan Yan.

The Queen Mother also left the palace and stayed in Huguo Temple for a while.

Now Nan Yan had even more free time. Out of boredom, she held several banquets, such as the lotus-viewing banquet, the fish-viewing banquet, and she also secretly held a blind date banquet for the children of ministers in the court.

But after a few banquets, I got tired of it.

Finally, after a few days, she came up with a new and good plan to pass the time.

That is - writing novels.

She plans to write some novels that promote women's abilities.

Even though these are novels, if they become popular, they will have a significant impact on traditional concepts.

She had a rough idea in her mind and started writing.

In her first novel, she wrote about a farm girl who was not loved by her father and mother, but secretly learned knowledge in school, became self-reliant, broke off ties with her bad family, and finally became a big landowner, owning thousands of acres of fertile land and a handsome husband. Her bad family finally regretted treating their daughter badly in the past.
