To everyone else, the military badge on Jiang Zhixia's shoulder was exceptionally conspicuous, and Jiang Lian, who had been forcibly dragged up, had a forced smile.

The two of them walked to the Queen's side under everyone's gaze.

Jiang Lin surveyed the entire room, her voice clear.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before the banquet begins today, I need to announce two things in my capacity as Queen."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the nobles below the stage, each holding a wine glass and displaying a different expression.

"First, based on our investigation of females in various regions, His Majesty and I, as members of the royal family, have decided that the Empire's 'Female Protection Law' needs to be amended, abolishing the seventeen restrictive clauses that prohibit females from participating in military, political, and social work."

Everyone: "??!?!"

What?!

The announcement came so quickly and without warning that the expressions of the male nobles in the audience didn't even have time to change.

But in the center of the hall, a light screen suddenly lit up.

"The Female Protection Act is amended as follows: First, this amendment will not affect the original priority treatment of females, and all females will still enjoy priority in resources."

"Secondly, in addition to controlling the animal husband industry, females are allowed to establish their own industries and operate independently."

"Third, all rights of lower-ranking females will no longer be the sole responsibility of female protection agencies. Entry requirements for all industries will be fully opened, and females with weak mental strength can also work as long as they meet the standards."

"Fifth, the military has officially opened up female positions, not only for liaison, support, and medical roles, but also for recruiting new soldiers, all of which have female quotas."

"sixth……"

They stared in astonishment at the revised bills, some even looking at their companions with questioning eyes as if they were dreaming.

"Abolish... so many?"

"These regulations are all for the protection of females, what do you mean by restrictive?"

"Isn't this ridiculous!"

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward.

This is a male who came on behalf of the family.

"Queen! Your Majesty! This is absolutely unacceptable! Females are naturally fragile, and high-ranking females can even soothe powerful males. They are the most precious beings in our race and must be properly protected..."

"Protect?"

Jiang Lin repeated it lightly, looking down at him.

"How do you know whether this protection you're talking about is good or bad for the females?"

"Queen! What are you saying? Females don't need to worry about benefits, they have priority access to all resources, and forming contracts allows them to control their beast husbands. How can this not be good?"


Everyone present was stunned.

Many of the females looked blank for a moment.

Yes, they are able to stand here because of their family status and their level of spiritual power.

But there are still females at the bottom of society, and females with weak mental strength. How do those females live?

"The second thing," Jiang Lin continued, ignoring the nobleman, "I would like to discuss with you all the definition of 'meritorious service'."

She turned to the side and slightly raised her hand in Jiang Zhixia's direction.

"My daughter, Jiang Zhixia, went to the front line as a second lieutenant in the military to participate in the Zerg war. She was awarded five second-class merits and two first-class merits. I have brought back all the battlefield records reported by the front-line commanders Jiang Ting and Lu Jue."

Another murmur rippled through the audience.

"Is it really a meritorious service? First-class merit is so rare, countless men would risk their lives to obtain it, how could the princess..."

"Tsk, you said it yourself, she's a princess. Her beast husbands are a general and a major general, so isn't it normal for them to go easy on her and give her a merit to win her favor?"

"But that's General Jiang Ting..."

Jiang Zhixia heard these doubts clearly.

She wasn't surprised at all; in fact, she thought these people were quite reserved.

If it were a year ago, when she was still a useless woman, they probably would have dared to accuse her on the spot of using her royal status to gain prestige on the front lines.

Jiang Lin naturally heard it too.

She nodded slightly to the attendant behind her.

"Since some people have doubts about the princess's achievements, then please take a look for yourselves."

The screen dimmed and then lit up again, and a video began to play.

On screen, Jiang Zhixia stands atop the mecha, releasing her mental energy to cover the entire battlefield. One by one, the soldiers who were suffering from mental energy turmoil calmed down, and the pain on their faces disappeared as they were soothed.

The scene shifts to a completely different "small" armed mech, weaving through the Zerg swarm, fighting nimbly, and directing its troops to relentlessly advance on the Zerg.

Finally, a giant white holy flower appeared on the screen, blooming behind the "small" mech.

The flowery form sways on the battlefield, appearing holy and elegant, but the scene of it smashing the Zerg in the next second is extremely contrasting.

Finally, Jiang Zhixia herself jumped out of the armed mech.

"This mecha...it belongs to the princess?! Is she piloting it in battle?"

"When did she start learning to pilot a mecha?"

"The princess managed to soothe such a large group on the battlefield!?"

"That's not the point. Didn't you see the aggressive nature of her mental energy? There's never been a female like that in history..."

"What is the last flower?"

The doubts on the faces of the nobles in the audience were completely shattered by these images.

The males, in particular, looked utterly bewildered.

But soon, someone raised another question.

A noblewoman slowly walked out, lifting her skirt to curtsy.

"Your Majesty, the princess is a high-level female who has undergone a second awakening. I don't question her abilities, but... how many women in the entire interstellar space can achieve a second awakening? Her mental strength is powerful, and she has two beastmen in the military who can teach her at any time. But what about the other females? Lower-level females don't have such self-defense capabilities. Going to the battlefield like the princess would be suicide. Isn't this playing with the lives of the females?"

The surrounding noblewomen nodded slightly.

That's not without reason; there's only one Jiang Zhixia, which doesn't represent all of them.

"you're right."

Jiang Zhixia seized the opportunity and immediately stepped forward.

"I am indeed an exception. My mental strength has become powerful after a second awakening, and because of my status as a princess, I have the opportunity to come into contact with the military. But... I was once a useless female, and I made quite a few jokes back then, didn't I?"

The noblewoman was taken aback; she clearly hadn't expected the princess to bring up her past shameful experiences in public.

Jiang Zhixia smiled at her kindly, "Your question is excellent. It's because I was once a useless female that I know that females need more than just mental strength to rely on! Today's reform bill is not just about sending females to the battlefield to fight."

She paused for a moment, turned around, and pulled Jiang Lian out from behind her.

Jiang Lian: "!!!"

What are you doing?!

She was listening from the back, her mind a jumbled mess, wondering what she was supposed to do today, when she was suddenly pushed out.

"The amended bills include, but are not limited to, military positions. Besides fighting like me, you can also do what she does," Jiang Zhixia pointed to Jiang Lian, "This is Jiang Lian, a descendant of a collateral branch of the imperial family. Her mental strength level is A, her physical strength is relatively low among females, she has poor battlefield adaptability, cannot pilot mechs, is timid, and has poor responsiveness..."

Jiang Lian: "..."

Does she really have that many flaws?

Jiang Zhixia: "But it is this kind of female who, as a facilitator on the front line, stabilized the mental strength of many soldiers and personally followed the healers to do support work. She was awarded the Second Class Merit twice, which is absolutely true."

Jiang Lian listened in astonishment, and by the end, her face was flushed.

Cough cough, yes!

Her achievements were earned through her own hard work and various forms of exploitation; there is absolutely no exaggeration involved!

The nobles below the stage were sizing up Jiang Lian.

"Wasn't she a criminal? She was punished and sent to the front lines, yet she still managed to earn military merit?"

"Rank A, that's not low, but being able to keep up with the pace of the front lines has nothing to do with mental strength..."
