In Fufeng State, men and women are still unequal.
But compared to some countries where women cannot go out on the streets alone or have to wear burqas, leaving only their eyes exposed.
Fufeng State is quite friendly to women.
But Ying Xixi felt that it was not enough.
Nowadays, most women get married and have children immediately after they reach the age of 15.
Because the woman was young and medical care was backward, it was easy for two lives to be lost.
Moreover, nowadays, whether in the officialdom, business world, or clinics, women are rarely seen.
It seems that a woman’s only mission after she reaches adulthood is to marry and have children, to carry on the man’s family line and continue the man’s generation.
She is now the queen, and she wants to do her best to change the current situation of women.
After making up her mind, Ying Xixi asked Yueya to bring her pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down her ideas one by one.
When Xiao Xieyun came over, he was surprised to see Ying Xixi writing something.
He did not disturb Ying Xixi and sat quietly waiting.
When Ying Xixi finally finished writing, she looked up and saw Xiao Xieyun who had been sitting next to her without her noticing.
"Ayun? When did you come here? Why didn't you tell me?"
Ying Xixi asked as she blew on the ink on the rice paper to make it dry faster.
"I've been here for a while, and since I saw you were so serious, I didn't disturb you.
Xixi, what are you writing?
Xiao Xieyun was quite curious.
Ying Xixi picked up the rice paper, sat down next to Xiao Xieyun, and handed it to him.
"Take a look."
Xiao Xieyun took it and read it carefully.
He had a nonchalant expression at first, but as he watched, his expression became serious and solemn.
Ying Xixi felt inexplicably nervous.
She didn't know what Xiao Xieyun thought of the woman's current situation.
I don’t know whether Xiao Xieyun is willing to give women more fairness.
She and Xiao Xieyun have been together for so many years, and she feels that their values are the same.
But in this regard, she was a little uncertain.
After all, Xiao Xieyun also has another identity as the emperor, the emperor of a country.
Ying Xixi saw that Xiao Xieyun didn't speak immediately after reading it, but frowned as if thinking about something. She became even more nervous.
I was nervous about what Xiao Xieyun would say next.
"Xixi, did you come up with these plans yourself?"
Xiao Xieyun finally spoke, but his tone alone couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment.
Ying Xixi nodded, "Yes."
Of course, these were not her own ideas. These plans are just the rights that modern girls enjoy as citizens.
Xiao Xieyun was filled with emotion, "Xixi, you are so amazing! I really want to know what's going on in your little head!
No one ever mentioned these plans!
In other words, no one has ever spoken up for women, hoping that women can enjoy these treatments, never!
You are the first one!"
Ying Xixi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ayun, then you... don't object?"
“No objection, I decided to give it a try.
You are right, a woman's life should not be confined to the deep palace walls.
I will amend the laws to allow women to attend school, take exams, become doctors, merchants, officials, and even teachers!"
Xiao Xieyun said firmly.
Ying Xixi's heart was filled with emotions. "Ah Yun, on behalf of all the women in the world, I thank you for making this decision!"
Xiao Xieyun rubbed the top of her head, "You're welcome, you are my wife, we are one.
I'll take care of this matter, so please don't interfere for now."
"Ayun, but I also want to do something within my ability."
Xiao Xieyun thought for a moment and said, "How about you take charge of the welfare home and the nursing home?
Improving the status of women will undoubtedly affect the interests of current men, and they will not agree easily.
If they knew that it was you who proposed this, they would have great ill will towards you.
Xixi, I don't want you to suffer those malicious remarks and gossips."
The distress and cherishment in Xiao Xieyun's eyes were very obvious.
Ying Xixi agreed obediently.
The couple discussed for a while, and then Xiao Xieyun left to take care of this matter.
Ying Xixi knew that it was not easy to promote things like improving the status of women and giving them fairness.
It may take decades or even hundreds of years to achieve it completely and comprehensively.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as you start, there is always hope.
........
While Ying Xixi was taking care of her pregnancy, she was also paying attention to the situation in the outside world after Xiao Xieyun issued the decree.
Just as she and Xiao Xieyun had expected at the beginning.
Those who oppose it are all men, and most men are against it.
Most of them thought that Emperor Xiao Xieyun was so idle that he actually thought of improving the status of women.
A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. After getting married, a woman should take care of her husband and children for the rest of her life!
Being an official, a doctor, a businessman, a teacher, or a general are positions that only men can hold!
Why should a woman share their profits?
Many men were angry with Xiao Xieyun because of such thoughts.
Some people even had the idea of rebellion.
But ideas are just ideas. Having these ideas doesn’t mean these people dare to put them into action.
Most people only dare to curse a few words but dare not actually do anything.
Xiao Xieyun anticipated that some people would secretly disobey the order, so he deliberately dispersed his subordinates to various parts of Fufeng State to tell the people of the world the latest order and supervise the implementation of the order in various places.
Ying Xixi also did what she could, such as setting up a welfare home for orphans and a nursing home for the elderly in the capital.
She not only wanted to improve the status of women and give them more fairness, but also wanted all the helpless orphans and elderly people in Fufeng Kingdom to be taken care of.
What Ying Xixi did was unanimously praised by the people of the capital, and everyone said that she was the best queen.
On the other hand, no one calls Xiao Xieyun a tyrant now, but most men have many opinions about him.
It can be said that Xiao Xieyun concentrated a considerable amount of firepower.
Xiao Xieyun is now very glad that he did not let Ying Xixi get involved.
Time passed quickly in the busyness.
In a blink of an eye, Ying Xixi is nine months pregnant and is not far from giving birth.
Xiao Xieyun heard from the imperial physician that twins can also be born prematurely.
Ying Xixi didn't give birth until she was over eight months pregnant, and now she's nine months pregnant. Doesn't that mean she could give birth at any time?!
When he thought of this situation, Xiao Xieyun started to get nervous again.
He divided half of the tasks he was handling and focused his main attention on Ying Xixi.
Ying Xixi is actually not sure when the babies will be born.
She could only wait quietly.
This time, the two babies were very patient and did not move until full term.
Ying Xixi finally felt that she was about to give birth. She quickly took the painless fertility pill and called Xiao Xieyun.
This time her delivery was still smooth and quick.
And this time, Ying Xixi did not deliberately delay the production time.
Almost as soon as the midwife taught her how to breathe in and out and prepare to push, she gave birth to her first child with great grace.
