Chapter 183: Turmoil
After Shen Xizhen retreated, Emperor Guangzhao summoned Empress Gina.
"Queen, Guang'an is here for the benefit of your woman's family." Emperor Guangzhao said with a smile, and handed her the plan for Shen Xizhen to set up a girls' school.
Queen Gina was overjoyed after seeing it: "Finally, someone is willing to support women's education with action, for so many years, how many women have been suppressed by the set of 'women are not talented is virtuous'!" β
"This plan is estimated to be opposed by most people, so I called you, hoping that you will use the prestige of the queen to build momentum for Guang'anhou."
"Okay, if you can help her, the concubine will definitely spare no effort." Empress Gina hurriedly spoke.
"Well, then I will take out this plan tomorrow and discuss it with my ministers. I also have to be mentally prepared to be opposed by the ministers at that time. Emperor Guangzhao said.
"With the ability and foresight of the emperor and Guang'anhou, the concubine believes that this move will definitely succeed in the end." Empress Gina said with a smile.
"I hope so, every plan proposed by Guang'an Hou will have to be achieved with great effort." Emperor Guangzhao said slowly.
Empress Gina poured him tea, and then sat down slowly across from him. Judging by the look on her face, it seemed that she wanted to tell him something.
Emperor Guangzhao waited.
After a while, Empress Gina took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something I want to report to you. β
At this moment, her expression looked a little embarrassed.
Emperor Guangzhao hurriedly said: "Empress, please speak." β
Only then did Empress Gina lower her head slightly and said, "Concubine...... Concubines...... Pregnant. β
Emperor Guangzhao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly approached her and asked, "Really?" How long has it been? β
"It's been more than two months." Queen Gina said.
Emperor Guangzhao secretly cursed a damn sentence. Last night, his movements were still so intense, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but be a little afraid. Busy asked: "Then how are you feeling lately?" β
Queen Gina didn't understand what he meant for a while, but after a while she understood, and said with a red face: "It's okay, the fetus is safe and sound." β
"That's good, that's good, I'll be a father again soon!" Emperor Guangzhao said, happily kissing her on the forehead.
And Queen Gina was always a little embarrassed. His eldest son is now married, and he is still pregnant with a child, so he always feels as if he is not very decent. But every night Emperor Guangzhao was only willing to go to her, and she always looked forward to him going...... Well, well, since the old face is thick anyway. Don't worry too much about that.
"It seems that I can only obediently stay in the Heart Cultivation Hall tonight." Emperor Guangzhao said helplessly.
Empress Gina thought for a moment. said: "You can ask other concubines to sleep, you have been accompanying the concubines for more than two years, and the concubines should also be generous." β
That being said, the heart is not so willing, after all, what woman wants the person she likes to be with another woman? Even if he is the emperor, he has this right, but she still can't be so free.
Emperor Guangzhao hugged her into his arms with a smile on his face. Said softly: "Fool, can't I endure it for another half a month?" Since you returned to the palace, I have not been interested in seeing the other concubines in the slightest. How attractive do you say you are? As he spoke, he leaned over and kissed her on the mouth.
Queen Gina's heart was sweet, and she didn't say anything more, but stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around his waist and respond to his kiss.
After a long time, Emperor Guangzhao reluctantly left her red lips and said sincerely: "Empress, I think about it carefully, I feel that God treats us very well, although we have been separated for eighteen years, but we are finally together as we wish, this is the third time you are pregnant with my child, I am very happy." "With that, my eyes were a little moist.
The people who love each other in their hearts once again have the crystallization of each other's love, which is of course a very happy thing.
Empress Gina also had red eyes.
Since she re-entered the palace, Emperor Guangzhao has always loved her, and she has been able to live a life of love between husband and wife, husband and wife. This was something she couldn't have imagined before. She thought she would be dying of old age in the north forever.
"The concubine has a hunch that this baby may be a boy." Empress Gina snuggled up to Emperor Guangzhao and said softly.
Emperor Guangzhao immediately thought of Chu Zihou, if he could have such an outstanding son again, it would be really thanks to God's love! However, he still said considerately: "It doesn't matter if you give birth to a boy or a girl, as long as you give birth to me, I love it." β
Queen Gina's eyes were red again, and she hugged him tightly again.
The next morning, Emperor Guangzhao spoke in the court hall about Shen Xizhen's proposal to 'establish a women's school', which was immediately opposed by a large number of civil and military officials.
"Your Majesty, it has always been men who defend the country and women who take care of housework, and only this division of labor can ensure the harmony of the family. One of the old ministers came out to oppose it.
Emperor Guangzhao had already been prepared, and he quickly answered his questions. Then many ministers raised objections, but Emperor Guangzhao answered as he asked, so that although these people who had fierce opposition still refused to express their support in the end, they did not dare to openly oppose it.
The prime ministers of the left and right did not approve of it at first, but after listening to Emperor Guangzhao's analysis, they also agreed with this move. In the end, as the wishes of Emperor Guangzhao and Shen Xizhen were fulfilled - this strategy finally came to pass.
After learning the news, Shen Xizhen entered the palace to see Empress Gina: "I want you to come forward to be the fiancΓ©e of the crown princess and the third prince, and we will have a good chat." β
Shen Xizhen knew that it was most appropriate for Empress Gina to come forward and invite.
"Okay, then I'll send them a letter today, and ask them to come to Jining Palace tomorrow afternoon for a small gathering." Empress Gina replied.
"Thank you, Queen!"
"You're welcome? It is indeed time for a few of us to get together. Queen Gina said, holding Xizhen's hand. Then, she told Xizhen about her pregnancy, and Xizhen was very excited when she heard it: "Great! King Qingping would definitely be very happy if he knew. β
Queen Gina took the opportunity to tell her something about giving birth to children, and her face turned red when she heard it. Xizhen heard the meaning of her words - she hoped that Shen Xizhen and Chu Zihou would also work harder.
But they have been married for less than a month, and the two get together less and leave more. Thinking of this, Shen Xizhen especially wanted to see Chu Zihou.
Fortunately, he was back in ten days.
As soon as the news of the establishment of a women's school was announced, the people were boiling, and the opposition was very enthusiastic, and even for several days, there were people waiting at the door of the prince's mansion, asking Shen Xizhen to reconsider this policy, and finally Shen Xizhen was convinced.
Since she has the intention to carry out this initiative, she will no longer be swayed by anyone's opposition, even if she has to overcome obstacles, she will carry it through to the end. (To be continued......)
