Chapter 350 The Time Traveler Xiao Yue
Jiang Suining turned his head and looked back, and saw Shen Yanxi who had just arrived.
"Thank you very much, Fourth Prince." Shen Yanxi also heard what Xiao Yi said just now. As he spoke, he walked forward with a smile, glanced at Jiang Suining, and then bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Fourth Prince, Fifth Princess."
Xiao Yue's identity was completely revealed, and Jiang Suining also bowed and saluted.
"Greetings, Fifth Princess. I didn't know the princess's identity just now. I hope the Fifth Princess will forgive me for my impoliteness."
"No problem, no problem." Xiao Yue waved her hand and said without any concern, "This princess doesn't mind these. Speaking of which, this princess has heard a lot about you from Fourth Brother. Even the emperor has issued an edict to praise you, which shows that you are very different from ordinary girls in the boudoir. I have long wanted to get to know you."
"Princess, your words are too polite. I don't deserve them." Jiang Suining lowered her eyes and leaned forward. Her tone was respectful, but there was doubt in her eyes.
It’s not surprising that the Fifth Princess knew about her, but why did she hear about it from the Fourth Prince?
"Okay, Miss Jiang, you should get up quickly. This prince's sister doesn't like others to be polite. And she really wants to get to know you. It's not just a polite remark. She has been pestering me to ask many questions about you before." Xiao Yi said. This also explained why he had heard a lot of things about Jiang Suining from him.
Jiang Suining responded, stood up, and smiled gently at Xiao Yue's scrutinizing smile.
But before she could open her mouth, Xiao Yue took the lead and walked forward and took Jiang Suining's arm.
"Fourth brother, Lord Shen, I finally got to see Miss Jiang. I'll go in with her first. I have a lot of questions I want to ask Miss Jiang."
Jiang Suining frowned quickly because of Xiao Yue's action.
"Okay, you guys go ahead. It's just right that I'm going with Lord Shen." Xiao Yi nodded without showing any expression unusual.
Shen Yanxi's eyes fell on Xiao Yue's arm around Jiang Suining, and he said with a smile, "Fifth Princess, why don't you let Suining go? After all, this is a little unreasonable."
Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows and looked back and forth between Shen Yanxi and Jiang Suining. "Sir Shen, although Miss Jiang is just an ordinary citizen, she is your fiancée, so she should be the best in your heart. How can you always focus on her identity and use rules to make excuses?"
Shen Yanxi didn't expect that Xiao Yue would be so understanding.
After a moment of shock, he shook his head and said, "The Fifth Princess has misunderstood. However, if you walk in with Sui Ning's arm around yours, it will probably bring her criticism."
Jiang Suining also gently pulled his arm out and said to Xiao Yue: "Thank you Princess for your kindness, but Lord Shen is right, this is indeed unreasonable."
If Xiao Yue walked in with her arm around her, she would definitely attract attention. Due to her royal status, the Fifth Princess would naturally not be the center of discussion. But if she was not careful, she would be criticized and accused of currying favor with the Fifth Princess.
Xiao Yue looked at Jiang Suining, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but soon returned to normal, "In that case, forget it, let's go in."
Jiang Suining and Xiao Yue entered the Third Prince's Mansion together. Although there were not many female relatives invited today, there were still a few.
After learning of Xiao Yue's identity, they all stepped forward to pay their respects, but Xiao Yue seemed uninterested and didn't seem to want to talk to them too much.
Jiang Suining observed the Fifth Princess with great interest and discovered that her lack of interest was not limited to the female relatives. She only responded perfunctorily to the courtiers who came forward to pay their respects, and her attitude was no different from that towards the female relatives.
On the contrary, Xiao Yue looked at her with obvious interest.
"Ms. Jiang, there are too many people here and it's a bit noisy. How about we go somewhere else to talk?" Xiao Yue looked at Jiang Suining.
"Okay." Jiang Suining responded, "Princess, please."
The two walked to the edge of a lake, away from the crowd. Xiao Yue stopped and spoke to Jiang Suining.
"Ms. Jiang, I didn't say anything polite just now, I really admire you!"
Jiang Suining's expression remained unchanged. "I am ashamed. I really don't know how I could have won the princess's admiration."
"I've heard about what you've done. You run a shop as a woman, and you don't care about what others say or being in the spotlight. You do such a good business and benefit the people in this hot summer. By the way, you were also bold enough to buy the land in the west of the city and made a fortune. All these things make people happy to hear about. This is what we women should do!" Xiao Yue's eyes lit up.
She has been here for so long, but Jiang Suining is the first one she has found who possesses the characteristics of a new-age woman.
She had been in the harem before, and everyone from concubines to palace maids was always talking about palace rules and regulations, and social status. She was so tired of hearing them that her ears were about to get calluses.
She even felt that women in this era were hopeless, but she didn't expect there was someone as self-reliant and strong as Jiang Suining. After hearing about what Jiang Suining had done, she regained her confidence. Since God had also allowed her to travel through time, she would definitely be able to do something great, and a woman like Jiang Suining who had not completely succumbed to dogma might be able to become her right-hand man!
Jiang Suining looked at Xiao Yue in silence.
The other person was the first person to say in front of her that this is what we women should do. Jiang Suining's heart trembled at first hearing it, but then Jiang Suining frowned secretly.
As a princess, Xiao Yue was too cheerful to show her joy. She looked as if she was planning to make a big move and do something earth-shattering.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Suining said, "I am just lucky to have more praises from the princess. After all, most women are bound at home. If they have the opportunity, they may do better than me."
Hearing Jiang Suining's humble words, Xiao Yue's eyes brightened. "I really didn't misjudge you, Miss Jiang. You and I think exactly the same. But don't worry, this situation can definitely be changed. What men can do, women can do too. I, no, this princess will definitely fight for freedom for all women!"
Jiang Suining looked at Xiao Yue curiously.
The word "freedom" sounds really wonderful, but women have always been disciplined, bound, and frozen. It is not easy to change. The confidence in the words of the person before me is a little too sufficient.
"Princess, have you thought of a way to change?" Jiang Suining asked.
"I've thought about it!" Xiao Yue nodded. "I have already started to prove to everyone that women are also talented. Next, I will propose to my father that we open up the imperial examinations to women and allow them to serve as officials in the court. As long as there are female officials in the court, then the upper echelons will set an example for the lower echelons, and no one will think that women can only stay at home to take care of their husbands and children!"
Xiao Yue's tone was full of longing, as if she had already seen the grand scene of women entering and leaving the court.
But after hearing this, Jiang Suining's face suddenly darkened.
