Chapter 416
Inside the Imperial Palace, Phoenix Perch Palace.
Song Xi, dressed in red, walked in. Empress Shen Qingnian and Emperor Song Xuan were playing chess. When they saw their eldest daughter return to the palace, they exchanged glances.
The eldest princess only entered the palace yesterday, so why has she run back now?
"Mother, Father, I need your help," Song Xi said, her eyes bright.
After placing the black pieces in her hand, Shen Qingnian looked at the beautiful girl in front of her and asked casually, "Have you taken a fancy to any young master this time?"
The princess's household already has several sons, one of whom is even a nobleman. This is truly unconventional. If she doesn't restrain him, the imperial court might be thrown into chaos.
In recent years, under the leadership of the eldest princess, many women in Da Xuan have begun to study and engage in business. They are no longer the women who used to stay in their courtyards and live their lives. They have many aspirations for life. Under the guidance of the eldest princess, they are also able to do what they like. The whole of Da Xuan has become more prosperous because of these women.
But where there is light, there is also darkness. On the other side of the unseen world, the eldest princess is fighting and making sacrifices for change, and the first to bear the brunt are the ministers of the previous dynasty.
Hearing her mother say this, Song Xi couldn't help but pout: "Mother! Who told those men to look down on me first? Taking them into the household was a way to teach them a lesson, and now they're all obedient."
She participated in the reforms, and all the men came out to protest. She then picked out a few outstanding and good-looking ones and forcibly took them into the princess's residence.
These people say women are inferior to men? Then she'll show them how she, a woman, can manipulate them and make them submit!
Song Xi was indeed very skilled at manipulating people's hearts. Less than a month after those men were captured and taken to the princess's residence, they all defected to the princess's residence. These men were all outstanding individuals, and after defecting, they all wrote articles to support Song Xi's reforms.
The path of change is fraught with ups and downs, but Song Xi seems to be enjoying it.
"Speak now, what brings you here today?" Song Xuan's deep voice rang out.
Song Xi bowed to Song Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you and Mother to help me investigate Yu Jun of Tianxiang Tower. I feel that his identity is not simple."
"Song Xi, you went to a brothel again?" Shen Qingnian's tone was sinister and chilling.
Song Xi stiffened, then forced a dry laugh and said, "Mother, the Tianxiang Pavilion is a mixed bag of people. I went there to gather information. You see, didn't I notice that Yu Jun is acting strangely?"
She did have a few male prostitutes she liked at Tianxiang Tower, but each time she went there she only listened to their music and did not engage in any intimate acts. She preferred that the men she served be clean and tidy.
Everyone in the Great Xuan knew that the eldest princess preferred men who upheld traditional male virtues.
Shen Qingnian glanced at Song Xi and said, "That's enough, or I'll have to call your third sister back to the capital to teach you a lesson."
Of the three siblings, only the youngest sister, Song Qingxue, could subdue Song Xi. This was because Song Qingxue was highly skilled in martial arts and showed no mercy when she fought. Unlike Crown Prince Song Yanqing, who softened his heart as soon as Song Xi put on a pitiful appearance.
Song Xi shuddered as she recalled her third sister's ruthless manner, but said, "Your subject is only thinking of the Great Xuan. That Lord Yu is truly problematic!"
She had been watching that person closely for a while; there was definitely something wrong with him.
