After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 199 Planning and Intentions
"General, a letter from the princess."

The adjutant hurriedly entered the tent, carrying two letters in one hand and a black wooden box in the other.

Shan Baiyu, who was discussing matters with the generals, was overjoyed and quickly read the letter.

He felt a surge of excitement when he saw a certain spot, and exclaimed, "Great!"

General Fei, with his full beard, asked curiously, "What did the princess say that made you so happy, General?"

Dan Baiyu generously showed them the letter, then quietly and carefully put another letter into her bosom.

After reading it, all the generals clapped and praised it.

"My goodness, the princess won a city without losing a single soldier."

General Fei exclaimed repeatedly, saying that this was something they had never dared to imagine before.

Shan Baiyu issued orders: "General Qiu, take the city seal and prepare to take over Wucheng. General Fei, take stock of the troops and be ready to attack the northern frontier at any time."

Wucheng is located at the border of Nanyue and Dongchen. Winning Wucheng would undoubtedly mean occupying a strategic stronghold, which would greatly increase the chances of victory in future battles.

Now he can focus on dealing with the northern frontier.

The two generals clasped their hands in greeting, saying, "Your humble servants obey orders."

After giving his orders, Shan Baiyu couldn't wait to return to his tent.

Watching the general's hurried departure, General Fei clicked his tongue, "The general was so happy to receive the princess's letter that he lost his mind. Women are terrifying."

General Qiu glanced at him sideways, "He's lovesick. No girl would want a big, burly bearded man like you."

Taian Academy
The princesses from various countries gathered in a noisy huddle, and the two little girls became the targets of their attack.

Zhenbao rolled up her sleeves and cursed, "Bullshit! My princess is the best person in the world. You are all filthy in heart and filthy in thought."

The princess of the small country said disdainfully, "Who doesn't know that Princess Nanyue forcibly abducted men from the common people? No matter how well she does, she can't change the fact that she oppresses the people. Who knows what she's up to by detaining us in the academy?"

Another person chimed in, "Yes, Father said that a woman should just settle down and get married; it's useless to read a lot of books."

It's unclear what remark provoked Fule, but she retorted with a flushed face.

"You are wrong. No one is perfect. Princess Nanyue has repented and is working for the well-being of the people."
"Give women more opportunities, why can't you see the princess's actions and instead keep harping on her past mistakes?"

In Dongchen, she and her close friends loved reading folk tales about Princess Nanyue, each one showing their concern for the common people.

It was only after reading "The Princess's Record" that I understood the true meaning of male superiority and female inferiority: when men are superior, they are strong and self-reliant; when women are inferior, they are humble and virtuous.

But her brother told her that the superiority of men over women was in accordance with the will of Heaven, but she did not think so, yet she dared not disobey her brother's words.

She mustered her courage to retort, "Even if Princess Nanyue has many husbands, she deserves them. Your insults are a degradation of women. What right do you have to speak ill of her?"

In the attic

Shi Nuanyu, Hua Rong, Zhang Xiuxiu, and Wen Yiqiu stood on the attic watching this good show.

Hua Rong said nervously, "Princess, I will go down and discipline them immediately."

"Need not."

I'm curious why Fule is so angry and speaks up for her.

They had only met a few times and weren't very familiar with each other.

Noticing her confusion, Wen Yiqiu picked up a book from the bookshelf and handed it to her.

"That is the source."

Shi Nuanyu took it and stared at the words "Princess's Record" for a long time.

"Written by Mr. Wen."

It's no wonder she was so certain, after all, this wasn't the first time Wen Yiqiu had done something like this.

Wen Yiqiu smiled calmly, "Of course."

After reading a page or two of the book, Shi Nuanyu didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

It wasn't an exaggeration, just a bit flowery in language.

"Mr. Wen has excellent writing skills."

The above content made her feel somewhat ashamed of herself. Wen Yiqiu nodded frankly, "This humble woman has studied it for a long time and deserves the princess's praise."

Closing the book, Shi Nuanyu walked to the desk and sat down. Seeing this, the others naturally followed suit.

"The academy is well managed; Dean Hua deserves much credit."

"Her Highness the Princess has given Hua Rong a chance, and Hua Rong would never dare to betray the Princess's trust."

Fortunately, she made the right choice back then, and now she is very content, gradually fulfilling her father's and mother's last wishes.

"Alright, I'm not here for pleasantries today."

Shi Nuanyu took out the prepared manuscript, "This palace wants to open another academy, mainly to teach medicine. In recent years, things seem peaceful, but in fact, undercurrents are surging. Although Nanyue is a powerful country, we cannot be unprepared."

If chaos truly ensues, the most scarce resource will be healers. Above are some materials I have prepared.”

She handed the manuscript to Zhang Xiuxiu, asking, "Are you capable of handling this?"

In the manuscript, she combined knowledge and teachings from her previous life, but she knew very little about it and needed to fill in many gaps.

Zhang Xiuxiu was overjoyed and respectfully accepted the book.

"Thank you for your trust, Princess."

I summoned her today thinking she would just keep me company, but I never expected to receive such a big assignment.

Shi Nuanyu spoke again, "The academy will be managed by Dean Hua, and you will be the vice dean. At that time, this hall will send people to assist you. Whether they are commoners or powerful people, the academy must treat them all equally."

"You need not worry about the funds for maintaining the academy's security and construction; I will take care of everything."

Having Tao Huiyan's money is not difficult, but it's difficult for him to do such a losing business.

As the academy's head guard, Linglu's presence ensures the academy's safety.

Hua Rong and Zhang Xiuxiu looked at each other, feeling fortunate to have such a wise ruler in their lives.

"I accept your order."

After explaining the matter, Shi Nuanyu turned her gaze to Wen Yiqiu.

The latter understood immediately, "Princess, rest assured, I will not let you down."

Entering the imperial court was her lifelong wish; she dared not fail, nor could she afford to fail.

Shi Nuanyu nodded with satisfaction, "I'll leave this matter to Mr. Wen."

The beginning is always the hardest, and it is especially difficult for a woman to become an official. However, one person needs to set an example, and this person will certainly bear immense pressure.

The imperial examinations will be held in a few months, and many talented people will emerge then, allowing her to proceed with her next plan.

As the sun set, its afterglow streamed into the attic, and Shi Nuanyu rose to straighten her wrinkled dress.

"Alright, it's time for me to keep my promise and pick up the little girls from school."

The carriage moved slowly along, and the streets were bustling with people.

Inside the car, Shi Nuanyu listened contentedly to the two little girls' discussion, their laughter ringing out as they each said something.

"Princess, Treasure was quite the hero today! She scolded those ignorant princesses; all they think about is getting married."
They can't think of anything else; they believe everything they hear, and they don't use their brains to think.

What's most infuriating is that they accused the princess of not being a proper woman.

Fu Le clenched his fist and agreed, "Yeah, they went too far."

It's not that they can't think, but rather that they've been taught from a young age how to marry and please their husband's family.

They are so accustomed to fixed ideas that when they encounter things outside their understanding, they find them unbelievable and hard to accept.

Society confines women within walls, demanding they follow rules and regulations, yet mocks them for their limited vision and incompetence.

The tragedy of the times shaped them, but also caused them to lose themselves.

Changing things is easier said than done, but she wanted to try, at least so she wouldn't have any regrets.

Shi Nuanyu looked firmly through the car window at the street not far away, where women were buying ingredients or doing business like men.

There is no difference between men and women.
