Chapter 1075: Men Should Be Allowed to Contribute to This Nation

Ning Shu didnt notice anything about Liu Changqing that was off, but she still couldnt shake off the strange feeling.

She decided to set aside these suspicions for now and head to court. She sat down on the throne and looked down at the ministers kneeling below her.

Her gaze landed on the crown prince Mu Xue who was dressed again in bright yellow. Mu Xue rather resembled Liu Changqing, but she didnt share the same simplicity he had. Her entire body emitted the imposing aura of the imperial clan.

Looking at her, she really seemed like a qualified heir apparent.

Ning Shu swept her sleeves back. Is there anything to report?

Mu Xue stepped forward and said with a bow, Imperial Mother, this subject daughter has something to report.

Speak. Ning Shu narrowed her eyes as she secretly scrutinized Mu Xue. Mu Xue was barely wearing any accessories. Her hair was simply half-pulled up into a bun and the rest of her long hair was loose.

She didnt even wear earrings. Mu Yao and the other two princes were dressed much prettier than her.

Ning Shu narrowed her eyes as she examined Mu Xue. Her brows were drawn, but instead of making them long and slim, she made them thicker and lifted the ends slightly. It gave her a unis.e.x appearance.

Imperial Mother, this is what this subject daughter wishes to report. Mu Xue was holding a memorial, so Court Lady Qiu quickly moved to pa.s.s it to Ning Shu.

Ning Shu opened it, then her face filled with shock, because there were all sorts of punctuation on this memorial and Mu Xue had introduced each of these punctuation in detail.

Why would Mu Xue know about these punctuation marks? Ning Shu was suspicious, but she didnt bother to hide her surprise and asked Mu Xue, What does this mean?

Mu Xue replied respectfully, This subject daughter had gotten inspiration from Fourth Imperial Sister.

Huh!? Mu Yao who had been standing at the side looking about to fall asleep was startled and confused by what Mu Xue said.

Mu Xue said with a smile, Imperial Mother, didnt you say that reading was really hard because you didnt know where to break in the sentence? That gave me an inspiration.

Fourth, look. Ning Shu pa.s.sed the memorial to Mu Yao. Mu Yao accepted the memorial from Court Lady Qiu, then her face filled with sincere admiration. Eldest Imperial Sister, youre seriously amazing! You actually managed to come up with all of this just from what I said!

Mu Xue smiled without saying anything.

Ning Shu narrowed her eyes as she looked at Mu Xue. When Mu Xue sensed Ning Shus gaze, she said respectfully, Imperial Mother, this subject daughter hopes to spread these symbols throughout the nation.

Ning Shu nodded. In tomorrows memorials, we hope that all the ministers will use... Ning Shu looked towards Mu Xue again. What is this?

Imperial Mother, these are punctuation marks. Mu Yao took the initiative to answer

Yes, punctuation marks. We hope that there will be punctuation marks in all of tomorrows memorials. Ning Shu said to Mu Xue, Youve done well in this. Have all the private schools start teaching this.

Understood, Imperial Mother, said Mu Xue.

Is there anything else? If there isnt, then withdraw. Fatigue appeared on Ning Shus face like she was very worn out.

Mu Xue took in Ning Shus state, but she cupped her hands again and said, This subject daughter still has one more matter to report.

Speak. Ning Shu looked at Mu Xue.

Mu Xue took a moment to organize her thoughts, then said cautiously, This subject daughter feels that we should allow men to leave the home and study at private schools. Men should be allowed to have their own professions as well, that way they can also contribute to this nation.

After Mu Xue said this, the entire palace fell deathly silent.

Presumptuous! Men are to stay at home and abide by the three obediences and four virtues, how can they be allowed to show their faces outside!? said Ning Shu sternly. We dont want to ever hear something like this again!

Understood. This subject daughter was wrong.

A trace of darkness flashed across Mu Xues face when Ning Shu berated her and she lowered her head to hide it.

Mu Yao originally wanted to support Mu Xue, but when she saw that her imperial mothers face was ashen, she closed her mouth and fell silent.
