Chapter 592 Women are superior to men (8)
The Crown Princess tried it on herself and thought the effect was excellent. If the army could be equipped with them, it would save a lot of trouble.
The Crown Princess knew that Wangyou had deliberately given the gift to His Majesty, who would then give it to her to build her prestige. So she sent someone to deliver the gift to Wangyou and then went to work diligently.
There are always places where the sun doesn't shine. Although Wangyou changed the laws, many things still followed the old customs. Helpless, Wangyou consulted her mother, the Empress, and established the Inspectorate in the Tianfeng Dynasty.
It also set up branches throughout the country, which could supervise officials above and understand the people's conditions below.
As the saying goes, a loud drum needs a heavy hammer. Those who continued to follow their old habits were severely punished before they were gradually corrected. As a result, the man's life became much better than before.
But to what extent they can actually achieve that depends on themselves. Wangyou can't keep an eye on things forever. To put it bluntly, she's a woman, and naturally she's on the side of women. She can't really let men ride on their heads.
Later, Wangyou researched the pregnancy fruit that her country used to make men pregnant. After conducting many experiments, she also understood the secret to having a boy or a girl, and then used the pregnancy fruit to make many pills.
Incidentally, Wangyou taught the Imperial Medical Academy how to refine it.
To promote childbirth, the Empress decreed that all newlywed couples could receive a free "Daughter-Giving Pill" at the government office. Couples who had been married for three years or more and still wished to have a daughter could purchase up to three "Daughter-Giving Pills" from the government office.
The order was met with cheers from all sides, and even brought tears of joy to the eyes of families without daughters.
A pill for producing a girl costs ten taels of silver, which is something most people can afford if they grit their teeth. But many others are curious as to why they can't buy more.
This is also to avoid a serious imbalance in the male-to-female ratio. If everyone could have daughters, then probably no one would want to have sons. In a few years, the Tianfeng Dynasty would probably look very different.
The population of the Tianfeng Dynasty began to increase rapidly. With more women, there were naturally more capable people, and the national strength doubled.
The man gradually began to go out on his own, trying to connect with people and things outside, or doing some small business.
Wangyou has never married, let alone had children, and neither has Xixuan. Under Wangyou's protection, they live a very carefree life.
Ten years later, the Empress abdicated, and the Crown Princess ascended the throne.
Forgetting worries makes one even more carefree. In recent years, there have been two more male officials in the court. Although there aren't many, it's a good start.
The newly enthroned empress is also broad-minded and tolerant; as long as someone is talented, she doesn't care whether they are male or female.
There's one downside: he always tries to drag Wangyou, who's been living a quiet retirement in the Prince of Huai's mansion, out to work, but he knows it's all in vain.
"Xi Xuan, why don't you go out and become an official? That would distract your elder sister from her attention."
"Sister, His Majesty wants you to go. Besides, I don't want to go to court; it's exhausting!"
"Alright, I guess I'll have to run away."
"I'll go as well."
And so, right under the new emperor's nose, the two of them openly ran away with their entourage, or rather, went off to travel and enjoy the scenery. Later, the retired emperor and the empress dowager also followed them.
The Empress was left alone to painstakingly review the memorials.
With the idea that "if I'm not idle, neither should you," the late emperor's daughters were all given important positions by the empress. In addition, she also held special imperial examinations and recruited many talented people.
During their escape, Wangyou and Xixuan encountered her mother and father, and had no choice but to take them along. They traveled around sightseeing and, incidentally, punished evildoers, which greatly improved the security of the Tianfeng Dynasty.
After seeing off the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager, and then Xi Xuan, Wang You simply closed her eyes and left as well.
After that, people never heard from the Queen of Huai again. Some said she went into seclusion, some said she died, and others said she became an immortal.
There are many different opinions, and no one knows where she went; it's as if she suddenly disappeared from the world.
"Grandpa, why are you crying?"
"The wind was too strong, it got in my eyes."
The same conversation took place in almost every household in Fengdu.
Qingzhu handed the Empress a letter and a pill, and only then did the Empress realize that her sister was truly gone, her body turning into starlight and disappearing.
On that day, the emperor, who was no longer young, cried like a child.
The following day, the funeral was held at the Prince of Huai's residence, and a continuous stream of people came to pay their respects, including high-ranking officials, nobles, and ordinary citizens.
The woman who changed their fate is truly dead; the woman who amazed the entire city of Fengdu has ultimately vanished.
While she was alive, she was the unattainable white moonlight of those men; even in death, she remained an indelible mark on their hearts.
The empress looked at the pill in her hand, read the instructions on it, and burst into tears again. Finally, she swallowed the pill with tears in her eyes.
The next day, looking at herself in the mirror, who appeared twenty years younger, the Empress was stunned for a long time. But after a while, she was still the same shrewd, dignified, and inviolable Empress.
……
In the natal space.
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! This world is too amazing! Why isn't Xi Xuan married? I should have made him get married so I could see how men have children." Wangyou, who had regained her memories, couldn't stop laughing.
"Master, you're protecting me so well, I don't even have a chance!" Duobao said with a grin as he ate potato chips.
"Luckily, I didn't have any more children after that, otherwise the entanglement would have been too great. Just Xi Xuan, he's involved with me across so many worlds."
Wangyou couldn't help but feel fortunate that her soul power was weak in the first world, so no karmic connection was formed. Although her soul was still weak in the second world, Xixuan had lived two lives and was a king with great merit, so his karmic connection with her was established.
However, how far it will ultimately go depends on Xi Xuan's fate.
"Master, take a rest!"
"No, let's go to the next world." Wangyou didn't feel tired, so she didn't need to rest and enthusiastically started choosing a world.
After much deliberation, Wangyou chose a world of gods and demons.
……
The Chen family, who sell rice noodles, is in for a rough night. Amidst thunder and lightning, Mrs. Chen suddenly goes into labor, and Mr. Chen rushes out in the pouring rain to find a midwife.
When the midwife arrived, she touched Madam Chen's belly and realized she was carrying twins. She immediately panicked, "Quickly boil some water and prepare some scissors! There are two babies!"
Outside the window, a woman dressed in fine clothes watched all this through the rain. She murmured to herself that no matter where her child was born, he could only have her as his mother. As for the Chen family, one child was enough; there was no need for another one to be born.
Then, she prepared to use magic to cause the woman in the bed to have a difficult childbirth.
Suddenly, a bolt of dark red lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the woman and nearly causing her to be completely obliterated on the spot.
