Wei Ling'er didn't argue with them. She just knew what she thought in her heart.

On the way to the autumn hunting ground, during breaks, Xiao Lin never hid his affection for Qin Suwen, which caused many people to envy and be jealous. Of course, it wasn't just women, but also men.

Many young masters also felt that Qin Suwen's temperament was like orchids, and she was the sister of the empress dowager, so there were quite a few who wanted to marry her.

Fu Jiujiu seemed to be watching Xiao Lin's courteous attentions towards Qin Suwen. She also hoped to take this opportunity to resolve the knot in their marriage, so that when they returned to Dongqi later, there wouldn't be any cracks. Otherwise, even if she wanted to help, she wouldn't be able to.

Just as she was about to withdraw her gaze, she noticed that Dong Qi's Xiang was staring at her. She smiled slightly and nodded at him, but to her surprise, the old man walked straight up to her.

"Greetings to Her Majesty," said Li Xiangdao.

Fu Jiujiu curled her lips, "Lord Lin Xiangmian, is there something the matter?"

"The old minister has been in the Li Dynasty for several days and has heard many good things about Your Majesty. However, the old minister has a question, please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

"Don't be so modest, Xiang has anything to say just ask." Fu Jiu Jiu said.

"Your Majesty, this old servant is quite curious. You value women so highly, it must be because of Her Majesty's influence. But excuse this old servant's bluntness, does Her Majesty truly believe that women can excel in the civil service examinations and warfare just like men?"

Fu Jiujiu endured a torrent of insults, maintaining her composure as he spoke. After he finished, they cleaned up together.

Of course, Your Majesty, I know you are exceptionally intelligent. However, there aren't many women in this world as intelligent as you. To pursue one or two such rare individuals, would it be worth all this trouble, Your Majesty?

Fu JiuJiu giggled with glee, and at this moment, Tang Xian also arrived. Just now, he had some things to instruct, so he left for a while.

The old minister bows to the Emperor.

"No need for formalities." Tang Xian placed the roasted potatoes, which had cooled slightly, into Fu Jiujiao's hand. He didn't think there was anything amiss and had no intention of speaking further.

Fu Jiujiu was always smiling, she told herself that everything she said and did now represented Li Chao, representing millions of women in Li Chao. Back then, she would have scolded this old stubborn man to death.

"Is Xiang said finished?" Fu Chiu Chiu asked softly.

"Your Majesty, please answer this humble servant's question first."

The implication is that there are others.

Fu Jiujiu really wanted to roll her eyes at him, "Before answering Xiang's question, please answer me one."

"Hmph." Xiang was slightly displeased. He had asked the question himself, but he didn't want to quibble with the woman. "Your Majesty, please speak. This old servant knows everything and will say it all."

"It's not that complicated, it's simple." Fu Jiujiao chuckled softly. "Given your current understanding of Li Chao and Dong Qi, if the two countries were to clash again, who do you think would win?"

When Li Xiang Deng saw this, his face changed. He instinctively looked at Tang Xian. These words would surely damage relations between the two countries!

Ke Tangxian was peeling potatoes for Fu Jiujiu, showing no intention of paying attention.

"What do you mean?"

"This... At this moment, Li Chao is superior." Even Xiang Yi didn't want to let the glory of another country overshadow his own, but unfortunately, that was the reality.

The people of the Li Dynasty lived a prosperous life, and he also learned that there were many preferential policies for soldiers in the Li Dynasty. One person enlisted, and the whole family was honored. Their children could attend school without spending money, and they received various allowances.

And not to mention the true warriors who would fight in battle, even the guards accompanying them on this autumn hunt were each equipped with fine gear, far surpassing anything they could possess.

Nor to mention those weapons that are not made public, such as close-quarters combat tanks, he wanted to see if it was possible.

Fu Jiujiu looked at the grim-faced old man and said, "Since Xiang Li has answered my question, I will also answer Xiang Li's question."

"Please instruct me, Your Majesty."

"I would not dare accept your advice. Lin Xiang is older than me, naturally he knows more than I do. To my knowledge, Dong Qi's prosperous era ten years ago was comparable to ours. Why then has our state been able to suppress Dong Qi within these past decade? Lin Xiang understands this, and in his heart he already has the answer you seek."

Li Xiang looked at Fu Jiujiu dazedly. He admitted that even if he had come, he was still somewhat dismissive, after all, a young kid like her wasn't qualified to discuss national affairs with him.

Now, he seemed to have a few points of conviction.

“I don't think it's a waste of time to educate women, to give them knowledge and understanding. On the contrary, it's progress. Even if my subjects are poor right now, even if they are struggling, they should still read. If men can study, why can't women? Studying doesn't depend on who is stronger or taller. It's about intellect here.”

Fujujiao pointed to her head, "Even the most intelligent are rare. But what I really want isn't the best of these rare individuals, but rather for everyone to no longer be illiterate."

Li Xiangzhang opened his mouth, but couldn't find the words to speak.

"Speaking of war, women do have certain inherent weaknesses, but sometimes these weaknesses can also be strengths. How to view this, I won't say much more about it here."

Li Xianggong bowed, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed. Your words are like a bolt from the blue, opening my eyes to new possibilities."

Tang Xi's lips curled into a smirk. This Prince Lin Xiang was clearly unaware of just how capable his own little woman was. A man? Perhaps no man in the world could compare to her forward-thinking mind.

In the future, men and women will be equal. This is the inevitable trend, he's just stating it earlier than others.

Accumulated knowledge over thousands of years is far greater than that gained from decades of exposure.

"Is Li Xiang finished yet?" Tang Xian spoke up, "Have a potato, or it will get cold."

Fu Jiujiu took the peeled potatoes, a knowing smile playing on her lips. "Do you want to eat them, Xiang?"

Li Xiang shook his head, “Your Majesty... Your old servant still has matters to attend to, I shall take my leave.”

After turning around, Fu Jiujiu stole a smile at his back. The old fellow was here to learn from the best.

Even if they weren't necessarily going to become friends, she thought of all the women in the world.
