Chapter 3 Becoming a Treacherous Minister After Crossing Through a Female Dominated World (3)
Gazing at the trembling figure kneeling in front of her, no, it should be said, the young man.
Thinking this, Zhao Xian spoke, “You can all leave! I want to be alone now. Spread the word, I won’t attend the morning court today.”
Didn’t they say it’s time for the morning court session?
How can she attend the morning court without even knowing her identity? It was better to understand the situation first.
Thinking it was just a simple statement, Zhao Xian didn’t expect the boys to be so frightened, their faces turning pale as if they were scared.
How timid were they, to be frightened by just a sentence from her?
“What’s wrong, is there a problem?” Zhao Xian’s expression darkened. Could they have realized she wasn’t the original owner? But that couldn’t be, could it?
At the sound of her raising her voice, the boys turned even paler.
“N-no, we’ll go right away.”
“We’ll go immediately, Your Excellency.”
“Please calm down, Your Excellency.”
Heavens, the Prime Minister is too terrifying. Not attending the morning court today? Could it be someone in the court made her unhappy?
There was a saying in the capital: if the Prime Minister didn’t attend the morning court, it meant someone was in trouble and she wanted to punish them.
…
After the attendants left, Zhao Xian took a deep breath, walked to the desk, sat down, and started reading.
Naturally, she needed to read to understand the truth. Otherwise, if she went around asking people, she would either be considered crazy or people would realize she had been replaced.
For the sake of her own life, she naturally wouldn’t be that foolish.
After losing herself in three or four books, Zhao Xian finally got the answers she wanted.
This place was called the Fengyou Continent, where the tradition was female dominance and male submission.
Women could have multiple husbands and lovers, while men could only be with one woman for life. Women were the ones who married, while men were the ones who became wives. Here, men were still referred to as husbands by women, while women were called wives by men.
It was almost like ancient times in the 21st century, except that the status of men and women had been completely reversed.
In other words, women were the ones who ruled as kings, emperors, feudal lords, and prime ministers. Women led armies into battle, and even on the streets, it was women who bullied men and dominated.
Well, that’s impressive! Who would have thought that one day she would witness how women bullied other women and dominated men?
In this place, women were generally a bit taller and stronger than men, but overall, there wasn’t much difference in height between men and women. However, men appeared weaker compared to women.
Even though the yin and yang in this world are reversed, women are still the ones who give birth to children, and women can decide whether or not to give birth, and when to give birth.
So sometimes, it was very difficult for men to have their own children, unless they were very favored by their wives.
Of course, for the sake of reproduction, if a woman reached a certain age and still didn’t have offspring, unless she couldn’t bear children, she would be fined. So, in ordinary households, women basically married and had children early.
Even the women who enlisted in the army had typically been married for one or two years, and the majority of them were already mothers. For those who hadn’t yet borne children, once they reached a certain age, they were typically replaced and sent home to marry and start families. Naturally, if one aimed to return home swiftly, demonstrating military merit is important.
So, this place was completely opposite to the customs she was familiar with from the 21st century, but otherwise, there wasn’t much difference.
…
Ten years ago in Fengyou Continent, it was an era of war and chaos. At that time, countries were constantly at war. But finally, five years ago, the former emperor of the Fengyou Kingdom and her military adviser, Zhao Xian, ended the chaos and unified the various countries.
After the former emperor ascended to the throne, she appointed Zhao Xian as the prime minister. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was above ten thousand people.
At that time, her prestige surpassed even that of the former emperor. If she had desired to rebel, she could have eliminated the former emperor and assumed the throne herself. Hence, the former emperor’s decision to appoint her as prime minister was not without reason.
From these official documents, she also learned that she had transmigrated into a book?
She had transmigrated into the novel portraying revenge and counterattack in a female-dominated world, assuming the role of the treacherous minister who met her demise.
However, she also realized that while it might be a transmigration, her experience was distinct from that of the book.
Because this was a real female-dominated world, and the lives of these people were real.
