The officials present looked at each other, and finally a young official standing in the back stood up and answered loudly: "No! I'm not afraid! I studied hard for over ten years, and since taking office, I've worked diligently and never made a mistake. No matter who sits in that position, I'm not afraid!"

Ningning looked at the official who stepped forward first and nodded with great satisfaction.

Then they stood up one after another.

"I have been an official for 20 years, honest and upright, and have never handled a wrongful case. I am not afraid!"

"I'm not afraid either! I've been practicing martial arts and studying military manuals since I was a naked child. I've followed Your Majesty in campaigns across the country, repeatedly beheading the enemy. I'm not afraid either! If there truly is a woman more capable than me, I'm willing to hand over the position of general to her! As long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, free from the harassment of war, I'll kneel down and call her mother! So there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Then many officials stood up!

They were just shocked by Ning Ning's huge contrast, which doesn't mean they are really afraid!

Moreover, there are only a few people who oppose men and women serving in the same court. The majority of capable officials do not mind men and women serving in the same court.

After all, after spending so much time together, they have discovered the benefits of women serving as officials. However, they are somewhat disgusted with the idea of ​​a delicate and weak girl becoming a crown prince, or even an emperor in the future. After all, no one wants to follow an incompetent monarch.

However, what Ningning had just done completely overturned their cognition!

"it is good!"

Ningning smiled and looked at the person who stood up.

"So! Why do you oppose me becoming the crown prince? Do you think I'm not up to the task? Or is it just because I'm a woman that you're opposing me?!"

"If you're worried that I can't handle this heavy responsibility, then you can all supervise me together in the coming days to see if I can shoulder the heavy responsibility of a country and whether I'm worthy of that position above everyone else!"

"But if you oppose me simply because I'm a woman, then stand up now! You don't have to bang your heads against the pillars. I'm willing to help! After all, the Qian Kingdom doesn't need narrow-minded, selfish officials like you!"

The officials present were speechless.

They all had some doubts in their hearts. Indeed, if they were strong enough, they would not have to worry about being replaced by these women. In fact, because of their physical advantage as men, those women would even be afraid that they would replace them.

So, why stop it?

Is it true that just because Her Royal Highness the Princess is a woman, we should ignore her means and talents?

They are tall and strong men, could it be that they really don't have even a little bit of tolerance?

Many people looked around and saw it, but no one came out to refute it.

Then the female officials took the lead and knelt before Ningning, "Your Highness! We pay our respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Your Highness, may you live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"

Ningning looked at the male officials who were still standing there with a smile.

With just one glance, those people immediately prostrated themselves on the ground. "Your Highness! I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Your Royal Highness, may you live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"

Ningning looked at the people who were willingly crawling on the ground, turned around with a smile, walked up to the highest position step by step, knelt in front of Shen Chou, and took the bright yellow imperial edict from Shen Chou's hand.

"My son, I accept the order and thank you!"

At this point, everything has settled.

In the inner hall, Yu Ruyue listened to the ministers outside shouting about unpaid taxes, and a big smile appeared on her face.

She patted An An's shoulder and said, "I didn't expect your sister to have this side! She's decisive and efficient, but also relaxed at the right time. Very good!"

"I just wonder if your sister's hand hurts. She used so much force when she killed someone just now. Did she twist her wrist?"

"All that blood sprayed all over her face. Her eyes must be hurting!"

"I'm going to have to talk to her about this later. She's a little too unhygienic. Who knows what's wrong with those old men? What if they get blood in their mouths or if they get cut on their hands and get infected with someone else's blood and then spread some bacteria? That would be bad."

"Your father is really something. Ningning didn't even bother to hold on to something when she knelt down just now. She was so honest that it hurt me just listening to her."

"When we get back, be sure to have the imperial physician examine your sister thoroughly."

An An was speechless when she heard her mother's worried words.

My sister just brutally killed so many old ministers, but my mother was only worried about whether her sister's hand hurt...

However, those people really deserved it. They didn't even hire someone to conduct a thorough investigation. They were so reckless in opposing the government. It's no wonder that their sister's true nature was exposed!

Yu Ruyue talked for a long time, and seeing that her son had no reaction, she thought he was sad, so she walked over and hugged An An worriedly.

She suddenly kissed him on his fair face.

"An An baby! In my heart, you and Ning Ning are the most beautiful, lovely, outstanding, kindest, and most talented babies in the world."

"So, don't be sad, Daddy and Mommy love you!"

An An was stunned for a moment, then wiped her face with her sleeve in panic. She carefully looked around and made sure that no one was around. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, "Mom! I'm already 12, don't kiss me anymore!"

"Hey! You little brat, you know you're only 12. If you were 22 today, Mommy wouldn't kiss you. 12 is still a child, so what if Mommy kisses you twice? One kiss, one less kiss!"

Yu Ruyue felt a little melancholy as she spoke, "Ah! In the blink of an eye, you've grown up so much, and you're all trying to keep your distance from your mother."

Seeing her mother looking a little sad, An An hurriedly coaxed her, "Mom! It's not that I want to distance myself from you. Have you forgotten? Two months ago, because you kissed me, my father doubled my schoolwork and even taught me martial arts himself. Those days were like a nightmare!"

"If Father sees this again, it won't just be a matter of doubling the workload."

Yu Ruyue touched her nose with a guilty conscience. "Well, you know, your father has become more and more narrow-minded as he grows older. Mother really didn't mean it. I just wanted to be closer to you."

"Well, let's not discuss this topic for now."

"An An! Mother will ask you one last time, letting your sister take the throne, do you really not feel resentful?"

An An shook her head firmly, "No! Mother, you know, it's not that I don't know how to communicate with others, it's just that sometimes I'm too lazy to speak, and I'm even more impatient to communicate with those who have bad intentions."

Yu Ruyue nodded. When the two children were first learning to speak, An An was relatively normal, but Ning Ning talked too much, which made An An talk less. But later, as they grew older, An An became less and less interested in talking to outsiders.

At that time, she thought the child had autism, and she was so scared that she took her child to the doctor every day.
