Shen Tianyu slammed the table with her chopsticks in her hand . "Absolutely not! I will never take those stupid classes! I am a human goddammit! I am a human first and foremost, goddammit, not some doll!" She raged, standing up from her seat .

"Tian'er, Wifey, calm down . . . " Rong Jian put his bowl and chopsticks down and attempted to placate her .

"How can I calm down! Don't think I don't know about the binding nobility rules for women, I used to be one, you know! Even if I was unfavored . . . There's rules about how to eat, how to sit, how to dress, how to talk, how to buy things, rules about going outside and who you could hang out with . So . Many . Annoying . Rules . " Shen Tianyu held her head and started tearing at her hair . "There's nothing useful about them at all . It's brainwashing and suppression, I tell you, brainwashing! Brainwashing women and suppressing them, binding them by rules and making men their reason for living, making women fight against each other so they'll never even think about out achieving or overthrowing men . You people always harp about how obedient and stupid women that don't stick their nose into your business is best but that's only so you can suppress us! I work at a brothel, and I'll have you know, the smart courtesans are the most sought after! The ones with brains and can converse with the clients about politics and anything are the most popular! Obedient women make the best wives, my ass!" She started mumbling to herself like a madwoman . The servants around also had varying expressions . Some wore looks of fear, some wore disapproving stares but no one dared to come up and say anything .

"Tian'er, Wifey, I understand . Mother also didn't take those courses . And it's really up to the students which courses they want to take . Father and mother seemed to really like you too so I'm sure they won't force you to take it . Don't worry . I'll talk to them for you too, alright?" Rong Jian soothed with a worried expression .

Shen Tianyu lifted her head from her hands and looked at him . "Really?"

"Yes, really . Come now, let's eat, the food will get cold . " He urged her to sit back down and continue dinner .

The rest of the dinner was absolutely silent except for the clacking of chopsticks and the occasional clang of bamboo on porcelain .

Shen Tianyu excused herself and went back to her courtyard afterwards, with Rong Jian worriedly staring at her departing back .

When she arrived in her room, she let out a long sigh and slumped onto the chaise . She then had the maids take off her clothes . Unlike before, no one made a sound and Shen Tianyu was too absorbed in her thoughts to make small talk either .

. . .

The next day, they requested an audience with the royal family again . Surprised that they came to see them again so soon, the royal couple happily let them in . Or, more accurately, the Empress was overflowing with joy while the Emperor was as stone-faced as always albeit there was a happy light in his eyes .

"You two just left yesterday and I was thinking that you would be enjoying your time as a couple, how come you came back again so fast?" The Empress smilingly asked the two as they sat down by her side . The Emperor had state matters to attend to so he couldn't be there today .

"Empress Mother, it's like this . " Rong Jian addressed her formally, which surprised Kuian Xiaoli . He hadn't called her so formally in private for years now . "I told Tian'er about going to Chengyuan School yesterday and . . . "

"Um, it's like this Mother-in-law," Shen Tianyu cut in when Rong Jian trailed off . "I am willing to go to Chengyuan school, I can even pay my own tuition, but I was wondering if . . . I have to take the nobility course . . . considering that I might be a Wangfei in the future . . . "

Kuian Xiaoli's eyes widened for a moment before she burst into laughter . "Hahaha, you're worried about this?" The two stared at her in confusion . She waved them off while trying to suppress her laughter . "There's no need for you to worry about this . You're the one going to the School after all, you can choose whichever course you want . And anyways, I never took those courses at the school either so it'd be unfair for me to require that of you, wouldn't it?"

Shen Tiany's face lit up in happiness . "Thank you very much, mother-in-law!"

Rong Jian, however, had a conflicted look on his face . "What about father?"

At this, Shen Tianyu sent him a glare and Kuian Xiaoli let out a harrumph . "Hmph, since he married me, how can he have any say in this? He didn't even bother to pretend and straight up married a woman that didn't learn all those etiquette as his main wife . "

"Mother is right . Then, this son is assured . " Rong Jian's face relaxed into a smile . Since mother has said father would not oppose, then he surely wouldn't . After all, the Emperor loved his Empress the most . Don't judge them by how they look usually, one cold-faced and aloof, the other kind and caring . Whenever they had a fight, even over something small, the first one to give in and apologize was always the Emperor . And no matter what the Empress commanded, the Emperor would see to it that it was to be carried out . Others say it was lucky for the Empress to be loved by a man who doted on her so much, but a true man knows in his heart what was really important . Father had always told them when they were kids, it was actually his fortune to be able to marry someone as outstanding as their mother and that he still feels sorry to her that he had clipped her wings and chained her potential . He told them that the other people were all biased, and therefore, couldn't see the situation clearly . Perhaps that was why, he never stood up to her too much and tried his best to not let her suffer any grievances . And in return, the Empress never took his favor too far either . Throughout her years, she had never used him as a shield of any kind and would always deal with her side of the matters on her own .
