Chapter 54: The Emperor's Promise Won by Winning the First Place in the Autumn Hunt

With the delicious food in front of him, Yun Chuhuan's brain, which was already insufficient, became even slower.

He was confused for a while and couldn't figure it out, so he simply put the question behind him and was too lazy to think about it anymore.

……

*
Although the assassination of the crown prince was suppressed by the emperor and did not make a big fuss,
But those who are truly at the core of the court and want to find out will naturally be able to find out.

Perhaps it was because of this that, in the following few days, everyone's interest in autumn hunting seemed to have declined a lot.

The eldest prince left early, and the prince lost his biggest competitor, and the pressure was suddenly relieved.
We did manage to bring back quite a few prey.

But... still not as good as Yun Shu and Yun Chuhuan who were digging holes all over the place——

Because Yun Shu was unsure of where the eldest prince's men would attack the crown prince, he had people dig a lot of traps on the first day.

Although the problem was solved later, the reason she dug the trap in the first place was just for hunting.

So she couldn't ask them to stop immediately.

So much so that in the past few days, almost everyone has seen the sign saying "There is a trap here" in the hunting ground.

With more traps, more prey can be caught.

In the end, after all the prey caught in the traps were counted, even if they were divided equally between Yun Shu and Yun Chuhuan, they would still have caught more than the prince alone.

"I didn't expect to get the first place this year. It really surprised me!"

Several days had passed since the incident involving the eldest prince, and Emperor Xuanwu's emotions had long since calmed down.

Now that he knew the final result of the autumn hunt, he couldn't help laughing:
"Since it was Xiaowu who came up with the idea of ​​digging the trap, then the first prize should also belong to Xiaowu. Xiaowu."

He called Yunshu:
"Have you thought about it carefully? What conditions do you want me to agree to?"

"Father, I have already thought about it!"

Don’t miss out on unexpected surprises.

It was a rare opportunity to have such a good opportunity. Yun Shu said directly in front of everyone present:

"I hope that my future marriage can be decided by myself!"

"Ok?"

He had promised her this personally, but she only made this one request?
Did this brat think that he would force her to marry someone she didn't like?
Well, considering the little girl's many contributions, he would give her another chance to speak again.

Emperor Xuanwu snorted and laughed, not hiding his preference for Yunshu:
"My princess, you naturally have the right to freely choose your prince consort. Why would you waste a condition on it?"

"But Father, when I say that I can make my own decisions, I mean more than just being able to freely choose my own son-in-law."

Yun Shu raised his head and looked at Emperor Xuanwu seriously:

"What I want is that no matter how old I am, I can get married if I want to, and not if I don't want to;

If I want to marry, the other party must be someone I choose myself;
And after you get married, if there is anything that I don't like, I can ask for a divorce or even divorce you at any time!"

"absurd!"

Before the emperor could even open his mouth, the people at the Imperial Censorate couldn't help themselves:

"How can a woman divorce her husband?"

"Men can divorce their wives, so why can't women divorce their husbands?"

Yun Shu didn't tolerate this stinky old man at all:
"In my opinion, if he encounters a scum like Cao Wenbin, divorcing him would be considered a light punishment. He should even be punished!"

"Bullshit!"

The old man surnamed Wang, the Chief Censor, was so angry that his beard stood up: "The Fifth Princess was born into an imperial family, so she should be a role model for all women in the world!
If all women in the world acted as recklessly as the princess, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

"It's obviously you who's making trouble, right?"

Yun Shu looked at the old man curiously:
"You say that I am reckless? Fine, then I want to ask you, if your wife dislikes your age and you don't wash your feet, and she falls for other men who are younger, more handsome, cleaner, and more reasonable than you, what will you do?"

"When will this old minister ..."

Wang Zhongcheng was so angry that he didn't know whether he should first refute that he did wash his feet, or should he first refute the series of contents that implicitly criticized him.

He covered his chest and glared at Yun Shu for a moment before he finally realized what Yun Shu was really asking.

"If a wife does not observe the virtuous code of conduct for a woman, she shall be divorced and driven out of the house!"

Yun Shu spoke quickly and aggressively:

"Then why can't a husband who doesn't follow his husband's code of conduct be divorced and kicked out of the house?"

"How can women be compared with men!"

After Wang Zhongcheng blurted out these words from his heart subconsciously, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
As expected, Yun Shu seized the opportunity and shouted loudly on the spot:

"How dare you! From what you said, my status is not as noble as yours?

Does that mean even Emperor Tianshuo is not worthy of your respect?"

Emperor Tianshuo was the empress who emerged in this dynasty more than a hundred years ago.

It is precisely because of the existence of this empress that these rubbish such as female virtues and female rings cannot be brought to the surface.

Yunshu's hat was big enough that Wang Zhongcheng realized he had made a mistake and immediately fell to his knees:
"Your Majesty, this old minister has absolutely no such intention!"

"Oh?"

Emperor Xuanwu glanced at him calmly:
"What does Lord Wang mean?"

"I just...it was just a slip of the tongue..."

Wang Zhongcheng was sweating profusely, and in the end he could only come up with this unconvincing explanation.

However, Emperor Xuanwu seemed unaware and continued to ask:

"A slip of the tongue? What did Lord Wang originally want to say?"

"What I meant originally was... According to the laws of this dynasty, it is legal for a man to have one wife and multiple concubines.

But women cannot marry multiple times, so…so men and women are different from the beginning…”

After stumbling over and trying to come up with some convincing words, Wang Zhongcheng hadn't figured out how to continue the story.
Then the Xuanwu Emperor at the top asked:

"Does the law of this dynasty say that a wife is not allowed to divorce her husband?"

"..."

Wang Zhongcheng bowed his head helplessly:
"Never."

"heard it?"

Finally forcing the old man Wang Zhongcheng to say the last two words, Emperor Xuanwu turned his eyes to Yunshu:
"Are you satisfied now?"

Yun Shu bowed with a smile:
"My son, thank you very much, Father!"

The Chief Censor admitted in front of everyone that it was not impossible for his wife to divorce him.

To put it mildly, if she really wants to divorce her husband someday, none of these people can say anything to her!
In a broader sense, this can even be seen as a statement from the imperial court.
As long as someone opens the door, divorcing a husband is no longer something a woman dares not even think about.
This will also invisibly promote the improvement of the status of women in the Tiansheng Dynasty!
