Ignoring Yun Zhi's various eye hints, Qian Xi talked a lot at the table, discussing how women's status was objectified by men as vases or other objects.
Most of the people at the table were men, and they felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what they heard.
However, the men in the academy are all of unusual status. They are very clear about the current phenomenon of male dominance, but everyone has different views on this situation.
Some people listened to Qianxi's words and believed that fully developing women's abilities would be beneficial to the future development of the entire Great Zhou.
Some people, however, think that allowing women to show themselves in public will affect men’s social status and their right to speak at home.
How can we change the situation where those who formulate policies are the ones who benefit?
Jiang Rui looked at Qianxi and felt that he understood Qianxi's purpose of joining the academy.
Change the status of women in the Great Zhou?
Tao Yaoyao listened to Qianxi's every word and felt it was extremely absurd, but also felt...her blood boiling.
The status of women in the Great Zhou was like that of goods and commodities. Women of low status like her were bought and sold at will, while women of noble status like Miss Yun could only be sold for a good price and married to a nobleman.
"Yaoyao."
The cold voice brought Tao Yaoyao back to her senses.
Looking at Jiang Rui, Tao Yaoyao shuddered when she met his deep black eyes.
Jiang Rui scoffed lightly, "Qianxi is now spreading rumors and trying to overthrow the male chauvinism. Will she rebel and overthrow the imperial power in a while?"
Jiang Rui's words were very serious. Tao Yaoyao was so scared that she dropped her chopsticks and knelt beside Jiang Rui.
Jiang Rui stretched out his hand and lifted up Tao Yaoyao. "Yaoyao, I'm talking about Qianxi. Why are you so nervous?"
Tao Yaoyao gritted her teeth and said with a determined heart, "Your Highness, Qianxi... Qianxi is the young lady of the Yun family!"
When Tao Yaoyao said this, everyone sitting nearby was stunned.
Miss Yun?
At this moment, everyone's eyes looking at Qianxi changed.
They have been losing to a woman repeatedly during this period of time!
Qianxi was still talking at length, her wine in hand. She was so engrossed in her conversation that she pulled off her headscarf, letting her long hair down. She said to everyone, "I don't want to lie anymore. My last name is Yun, Yun Qianxi. I'm a woman, and I want to study, so I disguised myself as a man to enter the academy!"
She had just heard what Jiang Rui said and knew that Tao Yaoyao had exposed her identity in public.
If Jiang Rui were to be the first to question her, she would have no room for quibbling and would have to confess first.
Qianxi's long black hair was spread out, and she lifted her wide sleeves to wipe away the powder on her face that made her features look tougher, revealing a fair and tender face.
Shen Tingnan already knew that Qianxi was a girl, but he still couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast for her face that seemed to be hazy with moonlight.
Luo Shu was eating meat with big mouthfuls, but when he saw that the brother he had been with day and night had turned into a woman, the pheasant leg in his hand suddenly lost its flavor.
Qianxi?
woman?
Qianxi looked at Jiang Rui and bowed politely to him. "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to punish me, Qianxi will bear the blame alone."
Jiang Rui looked at Qianxi, his eyes narrowed into slits.
Qianxi had just spoken in front of everyone about the inconveniences and difficulties of women's lives in the Great Zhou. If he punished Qianxi now, it would be tantamount to endorsing Qianxi's theory.
For the benefit of men, the Great Zhou Dynasty was harsh on women.
Although this is a fact, it cannot be openly acknowledged.
Jiang Rui said calmly, "Miss Yun is a woman. If you want to learn to read and write, you can report to Prime Minister Yun and ask him to hire a teacher for you."
