If he wasn't here, wouldn't there be more people coveting her?

Su Jingyao was a little dissatisfied when she heard his decisive rejection. "Why?"

Jun Zechen quickly and gently pulled her into his arms, patted her back gently, and said softly, "Be good, I'll take Yaoyao out tomorrow."

Su Jingyao pursed her lips and said angrily, "I'm going out now."

Then she broke free from his embrace and turned around to instruct Anshun, "Anshun, prepare the carriage and guards. If my husband doesn't agree, I will go out alone."

After saying that, he walked out of the study angrily without waiting for Jun Zechen's consent.

"Yaoyao!"

Anshun looked at His Majesty with an embarrassed expression, at a loss as to what to do.

Jun Zechen's face darkened instantly, and he said sternly: "Send someone to protect Madam. If Madam gets into any trouble, you will be held responsible."

"Yes, Third Master."

Because there were servants hired by Anshun in this mansion, Anshun addressed His Majesty and the Queen as "Master" and "Madam".

Su Jingyao was sitting in the carriage, with Miaoxia beside her.

At this time, the carriage was driving on the most prosperous and noisy street in Yicheng. Suddenly, a noisy shouting sounded over.

It seemed that two teahouses were arguing and cursing with each other? But I actually heard a woman's loud voice.

Su Jingyao became interested and said, "Stop."

After the carriage slowly stopped, she lifted the curtain on one side and took a closer look. It was a teahouse called Mingxiang Yige.

There were several women in their thirties standing outside, announcing the opening of the teahouse. Their voices were high and clear: "The teahouse is open today. Not only is the tea half price, but there are also many free cakes."

Su Jingyao was slightly surprised.

In the imperial dynasty, the status of women was not very high. It was generally emphasized that "men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world." Women doing business were often regarded as violating their duties and thus suffered criticism and discrimination.

The laws of the dynasty imposed many restrictions on women's commercial activities. For example, in terms of property rights and the right to sign contracts, women might be far inferior to men.

Therefore, even in the capital, Su Jingyao had never seen a woman doing business.

Even though she had opened many shops in her boudoir to make money, she had never shown herself in public.

At this time, Miaoxia, who had lifted the curtain on the other side, also curiously poked her head outside and said, "Master, this is also a teahouse called Cuilan Tea House. It seems that the two sides are competing with each other?"

"Go down and take a look."

Miaoxia put the veil on her master, then got off the carriage first. She reached out her hand outside the carriage to support her master, her movements gentle and respectful.
