In this world, the mother river of the Central Plains is still called the Yellow River, but compared to the world where Shen Ruyu was before, this Yellow River is longer and wider - it almost crosses the entire continent, and then spreads out countless branches.

It will take several months to travel from Jingshi to Luohe, and Shen Ruyu's first journey will start from one of the branches of the Yellow River - the Pingyang River that flows through Jingshi - they could have reached Luohe directly from Jingshi by boat, but after Shen Ruyu added the name of "patrolling on behalf of the Son of Heaven", she had to patronize all the counties she had to pass through along the way, even if it was for show.

Therefore, they had to get off the boat in Hengshan County, and then take the land route from Hengshan County to Julu County, then cross the Sanshui River, reach Beijun, and finally cross the Huaishui, pass through Langya County, and finally reach the Luo River.

It's not a long journey, but it's a long one.

Before Shen Ruyu set off, the palace secretly sent several groups of people to bring the emperor's secret letter, saying that it was a secret letter...... It sounds incomparably high-end and atmospheric, but the content inside ...... It's all all kinds of old mother-like nagging, what, "Remember to eat well, sleep well, dress well, don't hook up everywhere, come back quickly after the house is repaired, don't think he's annoying, he really has a lot of words, it's annoying, it doesn't matter, anyway, you have to be good." And so on.

After Shen Ruyu read it with a smile, she locked them all in her cabinet.

In addition to His Majesty the Emperor, Cui Wenjun also seemed to feel the imminence of parting, and came to visit almost every day, looking eager to go with her.

In this era when there were no trains and planes, the ancients often separated for years, decades, or even lifetimes, once separated.

Cui Wenjun was a little uneasy.

Wang Zizhi was obviously the same, and Shen Ruyu began to meet him in Changchun Guan, sometimes he came to find his sister, sometimes to his friend Wen Ming - however, Wen Ming still didn't seem to tell him who the person he liked was.

Moreover, because Wang Zizhi began to have an awkward attitude as soon as he saw Shen Ruyu, Wen Ming also asked Shen Ruyu with some surprise, "Why does Zizhi seem to hate you so much?" ”

Shen Ruyu had no choice but to answer innocently: "...... I don't know ...... either."

And contrary to Shen Ruyu's initial expectation, Shen Ruzhuo did not come back with her, but Wang Zijun followed under the guise of wanting to travel around.

Shen Ruyu felt that she probably wanted to give herself a vacation or something.

But compared to Wang Zijun, she was thinking about the queen who was already Shen Ruzhuo at the moment, for some reason, Shen Ruyu didn't want to stay with Shen Ruzhuo, but Shen Ruzhuo didn't follow, she cared more.

Before leaving, Shen Ruyu finally confirmed Shen Ruzhuo's wishes, but Shen Ruzhuo looked at her with a smile and did not waver, "Sister, no matter what, we must at least have one by our mother's side." ”

Shen Ruzhuo's body looks like he has completely come out of his previous illness, and now he is in good spirits.

Shen Ruyu could see the spark of ambition in her eyes, and compared to Mingxi, who was still very unaccustomed to male bodies, Shen Ruzhuo didn't seem to care about her gender transition—or rather, was quite satisfied.

In this world of preference for women over men, the queen may feel that it is easier for a woman's body to be justified and take it for granted that she has rights.

She followed Shen Nanfeng's side, trying to take the first step after being reborn.

To be honest, Shen Ruyu was a little uneasy.

The terrible thing about the queen was that he was supreme, but now she is just a girl who has not yet grown up, without the majesty of a word, nor the power of the Son of Heaven's anger and millions of corpses, so Shen Ruyu is not afraid of her, but always wants to bully and bully her with a little revenge.

But she has some more important things that she has not lost, such as her ruthless and decisive methods, such as her deep and unfathomable scheming and city, and her unrelenting enthusiasm for power.

With these things, even if she is now a sick and weak girl, Shen Ruyu has no doubt that she will definitely be able to climb very high in the future.

Especially the attitudes expressed by the two traversers, Wang Zizhi and Cui Wenjun, Shen Ruyu thought, Shen Ruzhuo shouldn't really rebel in the end, right?

In the name of the Shen family? With the identity of the Shen family's daughter-in-law?

Seek power and usurp the throne, change the dynasty?

No, no, no...... Probably not.

No matter what time it is, rebellion is not an easy thing, the queen has no tenable righteousness, and the second is not the external conditions of chaos in the world, rebellion is not something that can be started, if the queen can't see this clearly, then she is not the queen, but a madman.

Finally arrived on the day of departure, at the dock, the Shen family had already arranged a low-key official ship, and a group of maids who followed Shen Ruyu and served her with her. The Wang family also wanted to send someone to Wang Zijun's side, but she drove them all back.

When the official boat gradually left the ferry, Shen Ruyu stood at the bow of the boat, and only then did she return to the cabin with a pale face until she could no longer see the people seeing off on the shore.

Shen Ruyu was a little afraid of heights.

For her, even standing on the side of a boat with a guardrail and looking down at the river below, such a height always gave her a dizzy feeling that she would fall in the next second.

And when the official ship sailed far away from the shore and could no longer see the land, Shen Ruyu always had a sense of isolation that they were actually sailing on the boundless sea - she was also a little deep-sea phobia, when she saw the bottomless water, her mind was full of dark water, and she would feel as if she was suffocated by claustrophobia.

Fortunately, the symptoms of seasickness were not very strict, but it affected her appetite a little, and she only drank a little porridge for several days.

But Wen Ming, Ming Xi, and Wang Zijun didn't have a very good appetite on the ship, but no one noticed Shen Ruyu's two small weaknesses of being afraid of height and water - she walked around the boat with them normally, playing the piano on the deck, blowing the wind, but never approaching the edge again.

They sailed on the river for several days, and Wang Zijun fell in love with dancing swords in the river breeze, and every time he drew his saber and waved it on the deck, he pestered Shen Ruyu to sit aside and accompany her.

Shen Ruyu doesn't care, it's just that every time Wang Zijun dances, he doesn't follow the rhythm, and in the end, one of the two people starts to play the piano and the other starts to dance the sword, ending in laughter.

Mingxi watched them laugh from the sidelines, and then laughed happily herself.

Compared to them, Wen Ming seemed much quieter.

He stood beside the boat, looking eagerly at the distant mountains and green waters, although he habitually restrained his expression, he still couldn't stop the relaxation and comfort on his face.

Shen Ruyu could see that he liked these landscapes very much.

Speaking of which, Shen Ruyu has read many travelogues that introduce the customs and customs of various places in this world since she was a child, but she has never been to a place outside of Beijing, which made her very curious about places outside Beijing-because according to those travelogues and history, the geographical environment of this world is very different from the world she used to live in.

Shen Ruyu remembered that when she learned that this world was a woman, she was frightened for a while, and the men she met in the future would be weak and delicate, while the women were five big and three thick, tall and burly.

But fortunately, after growing up a little, she was relieved to find that the women in the world of women's respect are no different from the "women" she knows - the same delicate, sensitive, soft and rigid, full of feelings, love to dress up, and at the same time the same fragile.

It made her breathe a sigh of relief.

And perhaps because of the women, the women of this world seem more confident.

The same is true for men, who are taller and more powerful than women, so in a women-honored society, they take on most of the work related to the body – such as being a soldier.

She also thought that the masculine and feminine qualities of this world were no different from the masculons and feminines of the world in which she was originally in, but why was it a feminine world?

Shen Ruyu feels that the geographical environment and external conditions may also be one of the important reasons for the current dominance of women.

In her original world, when men had not yet learned the art of hunting, it was not only difficult to obtain food through guò hunting, but also often caused heavy casualties.

In this case, most of the food was collected by women, and women were also responsible for collecting materials, making food, sewing clothes, and raising offspring, so a matriarchal society dominated by women was born.

However, with the gradual development of the times, the dominant male slowly occupied the majority of production, and the matrilineal clan began to transform into a patrilineal clan.

And this world, in ancient times, once suffered a natural disaster, because the time of this natural disaster is too far away, and there is no historical conclusive record clearly, only from those myths and legends that have been handed down, we can vaguely grope for the context of real history.

It was that natural disaster that caused the ancient people, who had been living in a stable place, to begin to have to move from place to place, and only after a long period of collecting work, women who were familiar with the laws of plant growth and ripening conditions, and who had insight into the secrets of the earth, knew where to migrate.

Women have dominated the evolution of the people of this world, they have discovered the art of farming, they have understood the changes in farming time, and they have created language and writing—and religion.

For a long time in ancient times, writing was used as a symbol of divine power to communicate with the heavens, so that only the oldest and most virtuous woman of the clan could master it, and then perform sacrifices to the heavens before each migration.

Later, in order to communicate better, the written word began to be popularized, but still only women were qualified to learn and use it, and in addition to this, all the secrets about agriculture, animal husbandry, hand-weaving and pottery were passed on to women and not to men.

Since then, the future of this world has been determined by women for thousands of years.
