Chapter 718 As long as my wife is satisfied
"Which point?" Lu Yan asked.
"We cannot make any mistakes, especially we cannot let the affairs of the Women's Academy affect the duties of the female officials, otherwise it will become a weakness for those court officials to exploit."
"That's right." Lu Yan nodded. "Apart from the Fifth Princess, the affairs of the Women's Academy are mainly handled by a few of us. If something goes wrong with the person in charge, it will naturally become the fault of the Women's Academy."
“It’s really infuriating when you think about it. Those court officials keep saying that they are doing it for the common people, but why can’t they even accommodate a few small girls’ academies? Could it be that women in the world are not considered common people?” Wei Yao felt unwilling.
Lu Yan sighed, "The court officials are all men, how many of them can truly stand in the shoes of women and consider the women of the world? From the perspective of men, I'm afraid many people would rather women be illiterate, trapped in the harem for their whole lives, and have children."
Jiang Suining looked at the two frustrated people and smiled to comfort them, "There are only a few letters of dissatisfaction with the Women's Academy. Why are you so dejected? If you want to continue to run the Women's Academy, or even promote it, you will definitely encounter more troubles in the future. Don't worry about what those people think. As long as we have firm beliefs, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will solve them."
Wei Yao gritted her teeth, cheered herself up, and said, "That's right. No matter what those court officials think, the Women's Academy must continue to operate. Let's work together. If all else fails, Prime Minister Shen and the others can help."
When mentioning Shen Yanxi, Jiang Suining frowned slightly.
After all, there was still the celebration banquet to be planned, so the three of them did not continue talking in the corridor. Instead, they hurried back to their duty station and began to prepare for it.
In the evening, when Jiang Suining left the palace, Shen Yanxi was already waiting at the palace gate.
"The generals who have made contributions at the border have returned to the court to be rewarded for their merits. The Empress should have handed over the celebration banquet to you, right?"
"Yes." Jiang Suining nodded, "The Queen summoned us today and told us about this matter."
Noticing Jiang Suining's slightly furrowed brows, Shen Yanxi said, "According to the time, there is still at least half a month left. You don't have to be too anxious and don't tire yourself out."
"I'm not worried about this matter, but when the Queen summoned us today, she mentioned something." Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi, "Why didn't you tell me about the impeachment of the Women's Academy?"
"You have been working so hard recently, running between the Women's Academy and the palace, which is already tiring. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to hide it from you, but I think I can still suppress this matter for the time being, and I don't want you to worry too much."
Shen Yanxi held Jiang Suining's hand, lifted the curtain, helped him into the carriage, and then walked in himself.
"Ningning, don't worry. Although there is an impeachment petition, it won't cause any trouble for the time being. After all, your husband is still in the court."
Shen Yanxi smiled and after sitting down, he still did not let go of Jiang Suining's hand, but instead took the person into his arms.
Jiang Suining leaned in Shen Yanxi's arms, "I'm not worried for now, but later..."
"Are you worried that the Women's Academy will not be effective, or that someone will find something wrong with it and persuade the Emperor?"
"Yes." Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi, not hiding his worries. "Ayao and Ayan were very worried today. Although I comforted them in front of them, I know in my heart that this opportunity to open the Women's Academy was not easy to come by. It really took too many opportunities. If it is really closed, it will be difficult to find another opportunity to get the emperor to agree to reopen it."
"Don't worry too much. Although this opportunity is hard-won, after all, no one has caught any loopholes. Most of the impeachments in the court are based on etiquette, so it is not difficult to suppress them."
Shen Yanxi hugged her tighter and tidied the hair around Jiang Suining's ears.
"Whether you can make the Women's Academy famous and successful is something you need to figure out, but leave the matters in the court to me, your husband. After all, your husband is the Prime Minister, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to accomplish this."
Jiang Suining stretched out his arms and hugged Shen Yanxi's neck, and said with a smile: "Is the Prime Minister so kind? Aren't you afraid that helping the Women's Academy will make those court officials unhappy?"
"It's none of my business if they are unhappy, as long as my wife is satisfied." Shen Yanxi pecked the corner of Jiang Suining's lips, "But, this favor is not for nothing, I want to get benefits."
"What benefits?" Jiang Suining raised his eyebrows.
Shen Yanxi completely embraced her in his arms, his warm breath spreading beside her ears, "Ningning, are you asking this even though you already know the answer? You've been busy all day during this period, think about it yourself, your husband has been alone in the empty room for several days."
Feeling the hand on his waist, Jiang Suining patted him lightly and whispered helplessly: "Shen Yanxi, this is inside the carriage."
"Ningning, you are so cruel. Not only did you make me stay alone in the empty room, but now you hit me." Shen Yanxi raised the back of his hand, which was not red or swollen. "If you continue like this, I'm afraid you will dislike me."
Jiang Suining held Shen Yanxi's hand and said, "Okay, I was wrong. Then, Prime Minister, can I rub it for you?"
"Not enough." Shen Yanxi leaned forward.
Jiang Suining kissed Shen Yan on the west side of his face, "That's enough now!"
Shen Yanxi shook his head, "It's still not enough."
Jiang Suining felt amused and was about to give him another kiss when Shen Yanxi turned around and kissed him right on the lips.
Their soft lips touched, Shen Yanxi held Jiang Suining's waist and began to deepen the kiss skillfully.
The tender affection spread, and the temperature in the entire carriage rose accordingly.
Less than half an hour later, when the carriage stopped at Ning Garden, Jiang Suining was carried back to the mansion by Shen Yanxi.
Tonight, the Prime Minister finally did not have to stay alone in his empty room, and he reaped the benefits with his own actions.
When I woke up the next morning, I felt refreshed and satisfied.
Jiang Suining also woke up, half leaning on the bed, rubbing his aching waist. Looking at his appearance, he felt very angry and glared at him several times.
However, in Shen Yanxi's opinion, this look really did not have any lethal power, and it even revealed a hint of coquettishness, which made him distracted again. In an instant, he thought of a reason to take leave from the morning court.
But in the end, this restless mind ended with Jiang Suining kicking the man off the bed.
The Prime Minister could only brush off the dust on his robe, kiss Jiang Suining again when she was not paying attention, and went to court in a very good mood!
