The Kingdom of Marriage: My Stunning Empress

Chapter 48 Sister-in-law fell into the fire pit, rescued

Murong Suheng kept struggling and slapped Han Zhuo's arm several times before Han Zhuo let go.

Murong Suheng sighed deeply and cursed, "You're trying to suffocate me to death! I'm telling the truth!"

Han Zhuo certainly didn't believe what Murong Suheng said.

He knew that Murong Suheng was trying to push him into the fire pit.

However, for Han Zhuo, this is indeed a great opportunity, and he needs a team now.

If the entire defense force of the East Palace is handed over to me, then from now on, the weight of my words in this palace will be heavier.

Moreover, protecting Yang Pan'er was Han Zhuo's duty.

So, Han Zhuo deliberately put on a silly attitude and said stiffly.

"No, I don't want anyone else to join my sister-in-law. I want to be the leader of the Eastern Palace Divine Martial Army myself!"

"I'm going to find the Queen Mother right now!"

Seeing that he had done his part to stir up trouble, Murong Suheng immediately said with a smile, "Hey, it's useless for you to go to the Queen Mother at this time."

"The Li family is the Empress Dowager's family. When she married into the family, she brought a branch with her."

"Now, the entire Li family has taken root and multiplied in our Xuanyuan Country and has become a very powerful force."

"You go to the Queen Mother, of course she won't agree."

"You should have listened to me. Now go to the Shangshufang and make trouble!"

"Their Shangshufang is discussing this matter right now. If you go and make a scene and tell them that you will be the commander of the Eastern Palace Divine Martial Army, wouldn't that make everyone happy?"

Han Zhuo smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's good. I'll go now!"

At the same time, in the Shangshufang.

Yang Pan'er, the Crown Princess, sat quietly in the main seat. Although she behaved gracefully and appropriately, there was still a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

After all, Yang Pan'er was a latecomer and had never received any relevant training before.

Moreover, he knew nothing about national affairs, and was even less able to understand the factional struggles within the court.

Right now, she is just placed in the Shangshufang. To put it nicely, she is asked to supervise all officials. To put it bluntly, she is just a mascot, to be worshipped there.

In fact, all the officials saw the embarrassment that Yang Pan'er was in.

Although they all performed their duties on the surface, in reality, they all looked down on the Crown Princess who came from a common family to some extent.

At this time, an old man with a white beard and a thin face handed a well-organized document to Yang Paner's desk seemingly respectfully.

He stood across from Yang Pan'er's desk, bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, this is the officials' summary of the disaster situation, as well as the notice to be posted next. Please stamp it with your seal."

If it were an ordinary person, he would just take the Crown Princess's seal and stamp it on.

However, Yang Pan'er has always been cautious in her work and she did not do as the other party said and stamp the document without even reading a single word. Instead, she read the thick document carefully.

When Yang Pan'er was reading the documents, the white-bearded old man had a smile on his face at first, but slowly, the smile on his face froze, and at the same time, a look of impatience appeared in his eyes.

Seeing Yang Pan'er still reading, he urged, "Your Highness, these documents and the notices that will be issued have all been discussed by this old minister and the ministers in the court. Your Highness can rest assured and stamp them."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Yang Pan'er spread out all the documents and spoke to Li Rongdun, the Minister of Revenue and one of the three prime ministers of Xuanyuan Kingdom.

"Minister Li, I think there are many inappropriate aspects to the method of resettling refugees mentioned here."

"And the number of refugees in the outer city now is far greater than what is written here."

"I'm from the outer city. I've seen with my own eyes that the number of refugees in the capital has already exceeded tens of thousands, but it's only written in the thousands."

"If we treat these tens of thousands of people according to the plan for thousands, it will probably cause public outrage and is inappropriate."

Li Rongdun frowned tightly, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by the arrogance of an old minister.

He put his hands behind his back, straightened his back, and raised his head. He said, "Your Highness, I have assisted two emperors in Xuanyuan State and have been involved in countless matters, but I have never made any mistakes."

"I disagree with what Your Highness just said. I only hope Your Highness will agree with the opinions of your colleagues in the Shangshufang and put your stamp on it."

As soon as Li Rongdun finished speaking, the officials, both large and small, who were working at their desks, quickly stood up and lined up behind him. They bowed to Yang Paner and said, "Your Highness, please stamp this document!"

Yang Pan'er is just a weak woman. Although she has the status of the Crown Princess, how can she face all these powerful ministers alone?

Although he knew that these documents were full of loopholes, he could only pick up the Crown Princess's seal and stamp it on them.

Seeing Yang Paner stamp the document, a smile finally appeared on Li Rongdun's skinny face again.

He asked an official behind him to take away all the documents on Yang Pan'er's desk, and then he put on a domineering and condescending attitude and spoke.

"Since His Highness has moved into the Eastern Palace, the previously disbanded Eastern Palace Divine Martial Army must also be recruited again."

"As for the leader of the Eastern Palace's Divine Martial Army, after consultation with the other ministers, this old minister unanimously recommends General Li Yujun of the Cavalry."

Li Rongdun had just finished speaking, without even giving Yang Pan'er a chance to react, and he shouted towards the door, "Li Yujun, come in quickly and meet His Highness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, heavy footsteps were heard outside the Shangshu's room.

Yang Pan'er couldn't help but look up and towards the door, only to see a strong and handsome man walking in quickly.

This man is very handsome and has a scholarly air. When he walks, he exudes a sense of elegance.

He strode to Li Rongdun's side and bowed to Yang Pan'er, "I, the Valiant Cavalry General Li Yujun, pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

At this moment, Yang Pan'er could be said to be coerced by the large group of officials in front of her.

She herself has not yet figured out the intricacies of the imperial palace, nor does she know what the responsibilities of the Eastern Palace Divine Martial Army are.

But it sounded like he was supposed to be guarding the Eastern Palace. Her impression of Li Yujun was just okay.

But for some reason, she didn't like Li Yujun's greasy hair and powdered face.

After all, as a general, he should look mighty and awe-inspiring.

Instead of being like Li Yujun in front of him, who has a pretty face and looks like an actor in a theater.

Yang Pan'er had been sitting there all the time, and Li Rongdun's eyes rolled around a few times.

Seeing that Yang Pan'er had been silent, he thought that Yang Pan'er was attracted by Li Yujun's handsome appearance, and he couldn't help feeling complacent in his heart.

After all, she is just a girl who grew up in the city and has never seen the world.

As soon as I saw my handsome grandson, I was attracted by his demeanor and appearance.

Li Rongdun coughed twice deliberately and said to Yang Pan'er, "If Your Highness doesn't express anything, Li Yujun will remain in this position."
