Chapter 922 - 919: The Deceased Are Supreme
The King of Hedong understood this point in his heart, as did all the men in the world. Otherwise, why would most men do everything they could to suppress women, while very few families like the Bai family would offer women the same opportunities as men?
Which man in the world is willing to find more opponents for himself?
The King of Hedong was actually looking forward to Bai Qingyan carrying out bold reforms, greatly enhancing the status of women. In this way... if the scholars start causing trouble, it would definitely be a tough challenge for Bai Qingyan.

On the seventeenth of June in the early years of Yuanhe, the Empress of Zhou returned with the spirit, and Prime Minister Lu led the officials out of the city to greet her.
Accompanying the Ninth Prince of Yan, Murong Yan, to Dadu City was the wealthy merchant Xiao Rongyan, who also appeared at the gate of Dadu City.
The citizens were blocked by the soldiers on both sides of the city gate, and the scene was unprecedentedly grand.
Yang Wuce, standing among the ranks of the generals, casually glanced and saw that Xiao Rongyan was among the citizens, stopped by the soldiers.
Perhaps Xiao Rongyan’s imposing presence and handsome, strong features were too conspicuous, not only Yang Wuce... but officials who had seen Xiao Rongyan before also noticed.
Others might not know, but Yang Wuce was aware that Xiao Rongyan had a marriage contract with Bai Qingyan. On New Year’s Eve... he even sneaked into the military camp to meet Bai Qingyan privately, and Yang Wuce and Zhao Sheng stumbled upon them. It was only later that Yang Wuce realized that he and Zhao Sheng might have ruined Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan’s good thing by going at that time.
