The corner of Yin Fufeng’s mouth twitched, and he walked in. Hu Xiao pointed to the chair opposite of him, smiling as she narrowed her eyes: "The great Prime Minister is here too, it really surprises me, you didn’t come to call me back right?"
Hu Xiao raised her beautiful eyebrows, and looked at Yin Fufeng who was coming towards her with ridicule.
She and Yin Fufeng were not husband and wife, so she felt that there was nothing much to say to Yin Fufeng.
At this time, Yin Fufeng also calmed down, he was no longer as surprised as he was before. He shook his head, and said: "Of course not, I’m just here to see what you’re doing."
Yin Fufeng spoke with a sense of propriety, he did not dare say Hu Xiao’s identity directly, and upon hearing his words, Hu Xiao was extremely satisfied.
"Ha!" Why didn’t he come with you? " Hu Xiao asked with a smile, the "him" she was referring to was naturally Qin Shuo.
Based on Qin Shuo’s violent temper, it was really strange that he didn’t come.
After hearing that, Yin Fufeng’s gaze froze. He reached out to receive the wine that Hu Xiao handed to him, and asked in reply, "You want him to come over?"
"He didn’t come. I was just a bit disappointed." Hu Xiao said jokingly. Actually, since Qin Shuo did not come, he was relieved. She did not want to fight with others here.
"Since we’re already here, why don’t we have some fun?" The smile on Hu Xiao’s face did not diminish as she clapped her hands and ordered people to find Hua Kui, who was currently at Flower House, to properly serve Yin Fufeng.
In the beginning, Yin Fufeng had rejected it, but seeing that Hu Xiao was having fun, he also joined in.
A few people crowded around him. Some were guessing, some were drinking, and some were having fun.
"Yin Fufeng, Xue Mier, did you feel much better when you came out to play?" During the night shift, the four people finally came out of the Flower House. A cool breeze blew across their faces, wiping away the dry heat on their faces.
They drank a lot of wine, and Xue Mier’s face was flushed, her eyes flashed a clear light. It was obvious that this trip had brought about an indescribable wonder to her body and mind, making her feel that every single cell in her body had become comfortable.
She was the first to nod her head and excitedly said, "This is the first time I’ve been to a place like this. It turns out that women can enter and leave these places just like men."
What Hu Xiao had taught her was completely different from the values taught in the books. It was as if she had experienced a new world, and was extremely excited.
Normally by this time, she would already be asleep on the bed. She would never be like today, sitting on the table with Hu Xiao and the others, drinking and guessing.
Although Yin Fufeng was surprised, he still agreed with Hu Xiao’s words. Hu Xiao was right, a woman also has the right to enjoy happiness, a woman should not be locked in the Deep Palace.
He became silent, but he couldn’t figure out where Hu Xiao had learned all these things from. These things simply did not exist in the books.
"Yin Fufeng, are you dumb? Why are you not saying anything? I saw you having fun just now, why did you suddenly change your face when you came out?" Hu Xiao laughed, her voice was clear and moving, extremely pleasant to listen to.
Yin Fufeng quickly shot a glance at Hu Xiao from the corner of her eyes, and said lightly: "Empress, this humble subject is thinking why would you go to Flower House?"
There was a hint of surprise in his voice, but there was no expression on his face. It was the first time in his life that a man and woman were sitting at the same table and having fun regardless of whether it was high or low.
So he didn’t know what Hu Xiao was thinking, or how she could do it, and she didn’t care about the other party’s identity at all, nor did she care whether the other party was male or female.
"That’s nothing. If you want to go, go!" Hu Xiao said unrestrainedly, "Go and look through the regulations on East Court, see if there are any regulations saying that women are not allowed to enter the Flower House."
She said quite frankly that she believed there was no such regulation in the world, much less such nonsense.
The so-called rules were simply something that people agreed on.
"Empress, I admire your way of thinking. In South Yue, are women like you?" Crude, willful, do whatever you want.
Yin Fufeng added a few words in his heart. In the minds of the Profound Practitioners, everything that Hu Xiao did was perverse and would not be accepted by the masses.
"I feel that gender equality should be promoted in every country, especially in East Court. The male chauvinism in East Court is too severe, and women don’t have any status at all." Hu Xiao shrugged and spoke from the bottom of her heart, "This is the reason why I insist on taking the female examinations."
This was something that Hu Xiao had never mentioned before. When Yin Fufeng heard this, his heart was filled with shock, gender equality or status, these were things that he had never thought of before.
"The Empress is right. Compared to other nations, women from the East Court do not have much of a status." Yin Fufeng confirmed her words at first, but then said, "But Empress, you have to pay attention to your own identity, wherever you go is bad, you have to focus on the Flower House. If you want to change the situation, you can take it slowly, and if the medication is too harsh, I’m afraid the Emperor and the people of East Court will not accept it."
Yin Fufeng was a practical person so he understood what Hu Xiao meant. However, if the empress and imperial concubine were to go to the Flower House to have fun, and if the other three nations found out, where would the emperor put his dignity?
"I don’t care if they say so, if Qin Shuo loves me, he wouldn’t care too." Hu Xiao was extremely calm, she said indifferently, "When men go to the Flower House, the citizens on the streets already get used to it, but when women go in, they make fun of them, should women be made fun of?"
Hu Xiao tossed this question to Yin Fufeng. Instead of arguing with her, she started to discuss gender equality with her.
Xue Mier quietly listened from the side. She had learnt a lot, and a trace of worship for Hu Xiao rose in her heart.
She thought, if she was also a woman, why does Hu Xiao know so much? I have to learn from her too, to have more experience myself, the emperor doesn’t like me, I can’t keep following him around with the emperor as the center.
Just as she arrived at the entrance of the palace, a black figure quickly flashed past Hu Xiao’s face. Before she could even clearly see who it was, her hand was grabbed.
She was shocked and shouted, "Which lunatic is it, why haven’t you let me go yet?"
Hu Xiao was still immersed in the conversation just now.
The other’s face immediately darkened, and he said in a gloomy voice, "It’s me!"
In the dark night, Hu Xiao could only see her opponent’s pair of eyes brimming with anger. In an instant, she could feel the fury that was emitted from Qin Shuo’s body.
"Let me go!" Hu Xiao bit her lips as she struggled. She thought in her heart that Qin Shuo was a lunatic, why did he have to be so violent when he had something to say?
"Come with me!" The other party spoke out once again. He used all his strength to pull Hu Xiao away, wanting to bring her away from here.
