Xuan Ming raised his hand to signal Mu Zhi to stop massaging his shoulders.

He stood up, pulled Mu Zhi to sit at the table nearby, and looked more serious.

"Is this your own idea? Or is it the intention of the Grand Tutor?" Xuan Ming asked seriously.

Mu Zhi was puzzled as to why he asked that, but answered him honestly, "This is my own idea. You and my father are so busy, how could he have time to see me? Besides, I have entered the palace now, and my father attaches great importance to etiquette, so it is not easy for us to meet."

When Xuan Ming heard the first half of Mu Zhi's words, his eyes lit up, but when he heard the rest, a slight pain flashed through his heart.

The palace, after all, bound her.

"Oh, that's not what I meant, Xuan Ming. Please don't take everything on yourself, okay? Entering the palace is what my heart desires and it's what I like to do, so please don't be like this, okay?" Mu Zhi pulled Xuan Ming's sleeve and said coquettishly.

Xuan Ming felt a little warm in his heart.

Mu Zhi has never been a person who talks about love all the time, but for him, she has always taken the initiative.

"Okay, when I'm done with my work, I'll accompany you to see the Master." A genuine smile appeared on Xuan Ming's lips.

Mu Zhi's eyes lit up immediately, "You said that yourself. When you see your father later, you can't say that I forced you."

Xuan Ming hummed, and looking at Mu Zhi's expression, he felt happy.

He then asked, "Why did you suddenly think of building a girls' school?"

When Mu Zhi heard him ask this, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious look.

"People always say that a woman without talent is virtuous, but is this really the case? Talented women are loved by everyone no matter where they are, while those without talent can only become vassals of men. Is this fair?

If all women in the world could receive education, they would no longer be bound by the so-called etiquette and could freely pursue the life they want. "

When saying this, Mu Zhi's eyes were full of longing and yearning, as if she had already seen that beautiful future.

Xuan Ming, who was standing by, was also shocked by her words.

He had never thought that there would still be women in this world who would have such thoughts and were willing to work hard for it.

At this moment, Xuan Ming's impression of Mu Zhi changed drastically. He felt that the woman in front of him was no longer the little girl who only knew how to act coquettishly and cutely, but a person with lofty ideals and ambitions.

At the same time, he also realized that his previous view of Mu Zhi was too superficial, and perhaps she had many unknown sides waiting for him to discover.

Actually, after all, Mu Zhi also has selfish motives.

Since she could remember, her father began to teach her personally, and later he invited many famous scholars to teach her music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette and even riding and archery.

She comes from a prominent family and is both virtuous and talented, but even so, when she meets someone she likes, she still feels inferior.

She couldn't help but think, if it were those women who had never received an education, wouldn't their situation be even more difficult?

The world is full of hardships, especially for women.

But she saw another possibility for a woman in Yun Qingluo.

It turns out that a woman can also become famous all over the world with a skill;

It turns out that women can also go to the battlefield to kill enemies and defend their country;

It turns out that women can also travel far away from their hometown to see the wonderful world.

Most importantly, she saw a living individual in Yun Qingluo, who did not depend on her family for survival, nor did she live by clinging to men, but lived independently and freely.

She firmly believed that even if Yun Qingluo left Mo Beichen, she could still live a good and happy life.

So, she came up with an idea - to establish a girls' school so that more women like Yun Qingluo would appear in the world.

After hearing Mu Zhi's words, Xuan Ming fell silent.

Mu Zhi continued while thinking about other things:

“I don’t think that education is useless for women. Those who advocate that education is useless for women simply want to control women and force them to rely on power, men or family to survive.

However, reading can open up wisdom and let women understand that there are many paths to choose from in the world, not just the path of being a wife and mother. "

After saying these words, Mu Zhi suddenly felt relieved.

However, it was only then that she realized that Xuan Ming had remained silent.

I just talked a lot, but Xuan Ming seemed to have said nothing.

"Xuan Ming, do you also think that it is useless for women to study?" Mu Zhi asked cautiously.

Because at this moment she suddenly remembered that Xuan Ming was the almighty emperor, and not just Xuan Ming who belonged to her alone.

Xuan Ming raised his head and looked at Mu Zhi, shaking his head gently.

He replied gently: "If it is true as others say that it is useless for women to study, then why would I fall in love with a woman as smart as you?"

Mu Zhi was shocked, then ecstatic.

He said he liked her.

Ah, my heart suddenly started beating so fast.

But Xuan Ming’s next words made Mu Zhi even more excited.

Xuan Ming looked at Mu Zhi with gentle and affectionate eyes, as if containing endless emotions.

He said softly: "When my mother was alive, she wrote a letter to me when I was not yet born. In the letter, she said that if there is a chance, women should be educated and sensible, because this will be of great benefit to the country and the family."

Mu Zhi couldn't help but show surprise after hearing this. She asked in disbelief, "Ah, does the Queen Mother have such an idea?"

Xuan Ming smiled and nodded in response, "Yes, my mother did have this idea. Not only that, my father also agreed. However, due to various reasons, they are no longer able to realize this wish. Therefore, they placed their hopes on me, hoping that I can complete this mission.

But for years, I was held back by fear and worry. I was afraid of not succeeding, afraid of not being competent, and even more afraid of failing to live up to their high expectations.”

Xuan Ming's eyes became more focused, staring at Mu Zhi deeply, and then he said slowly: "Mu Zhi, your appearance is undoubtedly a kind of salvation for me."

His words were like a gentle spring breeze blowing through Mu Zhi's heart, but also like a loud thunder in her ears.

It turned out that he had already seen through her deep-seated inferiority complex but had never pointed it out.

On the contrary, he silently looked for various ways to try to help her build up her self-confidence, just like caring for a delicate flower and expecting it to bloom with brilliant colors. This flower is called self-confidence.
