Among all the princesses and princes summoned by Jiang Wan, Liang Baoer's brother stood out because his temperament was so special.
The other princes either had eyes full of curiosity and excitement, or shared the same hatred with their own princesses, or were fawning and attentive, or were cautious and timid, in short, there was a strong personal color in their eyes.
Only Liang Xiuzhu was different. He was calm and composed, as if he was just meeting an ordinary person in an ordinary place.
After only a brief encounter, Jiang Wan and Ji Mingyue both felt that Liang Xiuzhu was... somewhat interesting.
Later, when the banquet was in full swing, Jiang Wan signaled the palace servants to wet Liang Xiuzhu's clothes and had him brought to a side hall to meet her, thus achieving the real purpose of the banquet.
There was singing and dancing outside, but the atmosphere in the side hall was cold.
"I don't understand what your majesty means," Liang Xiuzhu lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Now the world is your majesty's world. Your majesty can do whatever you want. Why should your minister do something unnecessary?"
It’s not that he is unwilling to do those things, but rather that he doesn’t believe that the new queen in front of him would be someone who truly cares about men.
You have to know that even blood relatives and even loving wives and husbands would not be willing to let a man dominate a woman, let alone the queen sitting on the phoenix throne, the biggest beneficiary in this absurd world.
Liang Xiuzhu sneered at the ridiculousness of the world in his heart, but his expression remained calm.
Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows, but she wasn't angry.
After all, if Liang Xiuzhu was really that obedient and agreed to whatever she said, then she would have to doubt Liang Baoer's recommendation.
Jiang Wan also spoke casually: "If Third Royal Husband is interested, he should know that I have done a lot recently. But everything must be done step by step. Sometimes being too radical can easily cause some unnecessary troubles. Third Royal Husband, do you think this is the case?"
Without waiting for Liang Xiuzhu to respond, she continued, "Although I can make men's lives better and give them as much fairness as possible, you should also know that what they really lose is a heart, a heart of confidence."
If men do not identify themselves, then even if they are given status, even if they are allowed to go out, they will still be the same as before, because their hearts are trapped.
So what Jiang Wan wanted Liang Xiuzhu to do was to take the lead, so that men could see hope in him, know that men could still live like this, and have a brand new concept.
In short, Liang Xiuzhu was the "host" chosen by Jiang Wan and Ji Mingyue.
This time, Liang Xiuzhu was stunned for a long time before he finally looked Jiang Wan in the eye.
He sighed quietly and said, "Your Majesty, do you know what you are saying? Your Majesty, do you also know that once these words of yours are spread out, even the title of the Goddess of Heaven will no longer work."
Women believe in the Goddess of Heaven simply because they believe that she can protect them.
If the goddesses choose to stand on the side of men, then even the gods will be their enemies.
This is how the world is, interests are eternal.
Jiang Wan twitched her lips slightly, "But some things have to be done by someone, and someone has to start it. And sometimes, being too extreme in distinguishing between men and women is not a good thing for the world. Since you know that I am the Goddess of Heaven, then you should know that to me, whether it is a man or a woman, they are just my subjects!"
They are all children, so gender doesn't matter.
She said in a resounding voice: "When it comes to equality between men and women, I will go even if there are tens of thousands of people against me!" Not to mention that the extremes of this world were caused by Ji Xiaowu, what they are doing now is actually to restore order.
For the sake of the women in the World of All Gods, she and Ji Xiaowu also need to change the world, because they all need an opportunity, an opportunity for the people in the World of All Gods to recognize that they have passed the test.
For those arrogant men in the world of all gods, there is probably nothing that makes them more excited and festive than the fact that Ji Mingyue actually stands on the side of men.
They would probably be proud that they had tamed Ji Mingyue, one of the two most beautiful women in the world of all gods.
And that Lord God... should meet Ji Mingyue no matter what.
Liang Xiuzhu stared at the empress in front of him in a daze. The seriousness on her face could not be faked, and the rumors he had heard recently were also true.
"In this case, Xiuzhu is willing to work for Your Majesty." Liang Xiuzhu closed his eyes, suddenly knelt down, and said loudly.
Then he was willing to take a gamble. After all, he had nothing to begin with, so it didn't matter if he lost the bet.
But if they win, a light flashed in Liang Xiuzhu's eyes. If they win, his sons will not be like him in the future. They should have a bright future.
Jiang Wan came back to her senses and quickly raised her hand to ask him to get up.
In fact, what she wanted Liang Xiuzhu to do was simple and difficult at the same time.
Jiang Wan and Ji Mingyue discussed that Liang Xiuzhu should take every opportunity to encourage the many imperial husbands, and frequently hold banquets to awaken the confidence of the sons of those ministers.
The reward they gave him was that he had the qualification to study, and after he had achieved academic success, they reserved a place for him among the civil and military officials.
Whether it was studying or being an official, these were things Liang Xiuzhu had never dared to think about, and also things he had always dreamed of.
He and his sister were born from the same mother, but they were born into different circumstances. Even though he was smarter than his sister and had a photographic memory, in the eyes of the elders at home, only his sister was the treasure, and he was just an outsider who would get married.
But after marrying the Third Princess, his life did not get better, because he failed to let the Third Princess give birth to a daughter, and his two sons were not welcomed. In the end, they were all abandoned by the Third Princess and the Liang family.
This seems to be the fate of men, to revolve around women all their lives, and they have no self and should not have one.
Deep in Liang Xiuzhu's heart, he was filled with resentment and hatred towards the world, but he was the only one tortured by this resentment and hatred. He quickly became thin and haggard. Outsiders all thought that he was hurt by the Third Princess, but in fact he was just dissatisfied with his fate.
Now that he has a goal to strive for, he seems to have truly come alive.
He wanted to change all this. He wanted to be Liang Xiuzhu, not the Third Emperor's Husband.
Looking at Liang Xiuzhu's sparkling eyes, Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she had settled another matter.
The two then discussed how to contact each other in the future and briefly talked about the current developments.
Afterwards, Jiang Wan arranged for the palace servants to send Liang Xiuzhu to the banquet. Today was not a good time after all, and it was not appropriate for him to stay here for long.
