Xiao Ruyan dragged Cui'er into the next room. Looking at Cui'er crawling on the ground, she scoffed, "What, trying to climb over my head?"
Cui'er quickly shook her head: "Cui'er wouldn't dare. Cui'er knows that elder sister's identity is extraordinary. Cui'er is just a commoner's daughter. How could I dare to climb over elder sister? Elder sister, Cui'er really didn't!"
"I don't care whether you have it or not, you have already been rejected by the Third Prince. If you want to gain the Third Prince's favor, you can only rely on me now."
Xiao Ruyan held her teacup, took a small sip, and said slowly, "Now that the Emperor's identity has been exposed because of you, if he investigates, you will lose your life."
Upon hearing this, Cui'er's face turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with panic: "Sister..."
"And Bai Tuantuan, you actually offended her! She's the most petty person ever, you'd better watch out."
Cui'er opened her mouth, then regretted it deeply. She shouldn't have lost her temper and treated Bai Tuantuan like that.
"Although I am only a concubine of the Third Prince, with my abilities, it is only a matter of time before I become the principal wife, after all, my status is sufficient."
Xiao Ruyan curled her lips: "The Third Prince and Bai Tuantuan and the others have never gotten along. In the end, if you secretly trip up Bai Tuantuan, the Third Prince will only reward you."
"Do you understand?"
Cui'er raised her head, her face full of confusion.
"idiot!"
Xiao Ruyan frowned slightly: "Do you know who I am?"
Cui'er tentatively asked, "Miss?"
"No, I am Bai Tuantuan's half-sister."
Upon hearing this, Cui'er was shocked.
"Do you know why I became the Third Prince's woman? It's because I didn't get along with Bai Tuantuan, so he took me as his concubine."
A sudden glimmer of hope flashed in Cui'er's eyes: "Would the Third Prince be happy if I caused trouble for Bai Tuantuan? Would he then take me back as his concubine?"
At this point, Cui'er knelt down beside Xiao Ruyan and said, "Sister, I don't want to compete with you for the emperor's favor, but my body has already been given to the Third Prince. If I don't follow the Third Prince, I will be laughed at, and my father will be ridiculed too. Sister, please, teach me, okay?"
Xiao Ruyan put down her teacup, reached out and pulled Cui'er up, gesturing for her to sit down before saying, "Of course I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I'll help you. After all, I don't get along with Bai Tuantuan either. But you'll have to figure out exactly how to do it yourself, otherwise it wouldn't be good if the credit went to me."
After a pause, Xiao Ruyan looked at Cui'er and suddenly said, "You and the Third Prince have already consummated your marriage, so you must be pregnant. If Bai Tuantuan gets rid of it... no matter how powerful Bai Tuantuan is, harming the imperial heir, hehe..."
Cui'er's eyes lit up, but she quickly fell into a dilemma: "But sister, if someone finds out I'm impersonating someone, then I..."
Xiao Ruyan glanced at Cui'er: "Don't worry, I'll find you a doctor. You just need to admit that you're pregnant. Besides, once you're pregnant, the Third Prince will naturally forgive you for what you did. Then you can take the opportunity to sleep with the Third Prince a few more times. It'll happen eventually. What, do you have some kind of hidden illness?"
"No, I didn't!" Cui'er quickly shook her head, her heart calming down. "I'll leave it all to you, sister! Cui'er knows what to do!"
Xiao Ruyan nodded: "Then you can rest here. I will bring a doctor to see you tomorrow."
With that, Xiao Ruyan left.
Watching Xiao Ruyan's retreating figure, Cui'er took a deep breath, closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with determination.
At this moment, Bai Tuantuan and the others were in the Emperor's room.
Zhao Quanchun ordered female soldiers to guard outside.
"Lord Zhao," Bai Tuantuan raised her head with a faint smile, "may I ask why you use a woman? Why are women and men of equal status in Hero Town?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Quanchun laughed and said, "Women and men are no different. What men can do, women can also do. Heroes are not divided by gender. As long as someone has the ability, I will use them. It is also for the good of the heroes."
“At first, quite a few people were indeed opposed.” Zhao Quanchun seemed to recall the difficulties at that time, gave a wry smile, and said slowly, “But gradually, they accepted it.”
"Why is that?" the Emperor asked, intrigued.
Zhao Quanchun sighed and slowly said, "That's because every family has older sisters and younger sisters, and every family has a mother. When these people do the same thing as them, and they find themselves inferior to them, they fall into silence."
"This kind of thing can't be done in a short time. We can only make them know that women are no less capable than men through subtle influence. When the women first became members of the government, they also faced a lot of setbacks and obstacles. They conquered these people on their own."
“The master must have secretly helped the woman as well,” Bai Tuantuan said with a smile. “Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy.”
Zhao Quanchun waved his hand: "It wasn't of much help; I just stood in the middle, impartial and unbiased."
"To be impartial and unbiased is the greatest help to women. Many people look down on women because they have different attitudes towards them, so they don't even give them a chance to explain themselves."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Quanchun exclaimed, "Yes! I only gave them a chance, but they gave me a wonderful surprise!"
As soon as Zhao Quanchun finished speaking, he took out several account books and handed them to Eunuch Cai: "Inside are the things these women have done. They are truly remarkable women!"
Bai Tuantuan sidled up to the Emperor, looking at the various deeds on the tablet, and couldn't help but feel her blood boil with excitement: "Truly amazing!"
Mu Yangzhi also became interested and asked, "Could I meet these heroines?"
"nature."
After Zhao Quanchun gave a few instructions to the outside, ten smart and capable women quickly walked in. They were dressed in the same clothes as the male yamen runners, and they stood tall and proud. When they saw the emperor, they were neither humble nor arrogant, and their faces were full of confident smiles.
"This humble woman greets Your Majesty!"
Ten women of varying ages knelt on the ground.
Mu Yangzhi asked curiously, "How old are you all?"
"In reply to your question, sir, the youngest of the women here is eighteen and the oldest is thirty."
"Are you married and have children?"
"Some are married and have children, while others are neither married nor have children."
Mu Yangzhi gave a thumbs up: "You guys are really amazing."
"I dare not accept such praise."
The ten women exchanged glances and smiled faintly.
"A commoner?" the Emperor suddenly spoke, "Inappropriate."
The Emperor stood up, looked at the ten people before him, and then looked at Zhao Quanchun, saying, "The official positions that should be given are not lacking. Zhao Quanchun, I promise you that you may be given official positions, equal to those of men!"
Zhao Quanchun was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ten women knelt down again: "Your Majesty, we thank you! Long live the Emperor!"
