After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

How could the granddaughter of a serious criminal be qualified to become the future Princess of Chu and a member of the future royal family?

At this time, someone stood up and petitioned to abolish the arranged marriage between King Chu and Ye Qingyu.

Shen Yanli's dark eyes glared at Shen Mingxiu coldly. Shen Mingxiu's heart trembled at his gaze, but his face remained gentle. "Third brother and Miss Ye have a harmonious relationship, but now Miss Ye has been implicated by the Zhenguo Mansion, which does make Third brother feel a little wronged."

He had a look of pity on his face, and his words showed that he was truly thinking about Shen Yanli.

Shen Yanli suddenly raised the corner of his lips to reveal a faint smile, "This is the first time I've discovered that Fourth Prince isn't as idle and unconcerned with state affairs as you appear."

After Shen Yanli finished speaking, the entire Golden Palace was silent for a moment, and Emperor Jingyou turned his eyes and looked at his fourth son intently.

He has always shown no desire for power and has been absorbed in poetry and songs. However, today, his words were clearly pushing Ye Qingyu into the fire pit and even convicting the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

His attitude towards Ye Qingyu and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion seemed to be particularly concerned, just as the King of Chu said.

This is not in line with his usual behavior.

Shen Mingxiu's usual warm smile seemed to have a crack. His expression changed, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes. "Third brother, you worry too much. It's my fault. I spoke too much. If what I said just now has made you unhappy, I will apologize to you."

As he spoke, Shen Mingxiu bowed respectfully and apologized, looking as if he regretted having spoken too much and said the wrong thing.

Seeing his timid appearance, the Fifth Prince Shen Yuyan was displeased. "Third Brother, you are too overbearing. What Fourth Brother said is true. He is doing this for your own good. He didn't say anything. You haven't even married Ye Qingyu yet, yet you're protecting this woman and not giving your brother any face. Is this how a brother should be?"

Shen Yanli was too lazy to pay attention to this little idiot and didn't even look at him. Instead, he looked coldly at the court officials who stood up and asked Emperor Jingyou to revoke the marriage.

"My Lords, you are truly very concerned. The common people say that it is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage. You have ruined my marriage very smoothly!"

Censor Cao braved Shen Yanli's gaze and spoke with a stiff upper lip, "Your Highness the Prince of Chu is wrong. A royal marriage is no match for ordinary people. The prince's marriage concerns the future of our Daqing Dynasty. The prince's consort is the future empress and a role model for all women in the world. We cannot afford to be careless."

Shen Yanli curled his lips coldly, "Oh, if Censor Cao says so, then this prince is going to be the crown prince, the emperor for sure, and Ye Qingyu is the future queen. Her status is not qualified to be the queen, so that's why you worry so much about me, right?"

Everyone in the Golden Palace was so frightened by Shen Yanli's words that they dared not even breathe.

Censor Cao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I didn't say that. Your Highness the King of Chu, please don't harm me!"

Emperor Jingyou was also shocked by Shen Yanli's shocking words, "King Chu, stop talking nonsense!"

Shen Yanli said calmly, "Father, I'm still hearing what Censor Cao said just now. He said that my marriage is related to the safety of the Daqing Dynasty. Haha, isn't this the treatment of the Crown Prince, the future Emperor? How can I, a useless and idle prince, be so important?"

Censor Cao's face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I, I didn't mean that! I..."

Emperor Jingyou said impatiently, "Alright, shut up. Today we're discussing the affairs of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. How can you be so disrespectful as to criticize an insignificant little woman?"

Emperor Jingyou got angry and all the ministers knelt on the ground.

"Hmph, you're just messing around with useless things instead of doing anything serious. Pingliang City has been lost for days, and you're still here discussing the affairs of a little girl. Haven't the Huns reached Kyoto City yet? Haven't they come to chop off your heads under your noses yet?"

Emperor Jingyou flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Eunuch Dequan shouted to adjourn the court and left immediately after Emperor Jingyou.

There was only a bunch of kneeling ministers left, looking at each other, and could only sigh helplessly.

The Right Prime Minister smiled and said to the Left Prime Minister, "Prime Minister Lu, why is His Majesty so angry today?"

Left Prime Minister Lu An stood up and patted his court robes gracefully. "You haven't slept all night, and you have a bad temper."

One look at the dark circles under His Majesty's eyes tells me that His Majesty didn't sleep all night last night, dealing with official documents all night. Pingliang City was lost, such a big thing, how could His Majesty sleep well, how could His Majesty be in a good mood?

Even so, these ministers still couldn't understand any of the serious matters. How His Royal Highness the King of Chu treated his fiancée was his own business, and compared to the loss of Pingliang City and the continued attack by the Huns, they couldn't tell which was more important. They also didn't understand why the Fifth Prince and the Fourth Prince were so out of tune.

Eunuch Dequan left and returned.

"Your Majesty has issued an oral order. The Prince of Chu and the Left Prime Minister are to meet in the Imperial Study for a meeting. The Fifth and Fourth Princes are to return to the palace to reflect on their mistakes for three days."

After these words were spoken, the ministers' eyes flickered as they looked at the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince.

Shen Yuyan looked at Shen Yanli with hatred as he followed Eunuch Dequan to the imperial study, and was filled with rage.

Why should he reflect on his mistakes just because he said a few words? Shen Yanli said such treasonous words, but the emperor didn't punish him!

"Father is too partial!"

Shen Mingxiu grabbed Shen Yuyan, who was about to go to the imperial study to ask for an explanation, and said, "Alright, Fifth Brother, our actions today were inappropriate. Let's go back and reflect on our mistakes. Father is furious now, so let's not offend him again."

Shen Yuyan was pulled away by Shen Mingxiu.

At this moment in the imperial study, Emperor Jingyou rubbed his eyebrows and yawned sleepily with hazy eyes.

Lu An walked in and sighed speechlessly, "Your Majesty, why are you doing this? You should sleep well at night."

Emperor Jingyou yawned again, "Do you think I'm willing to do that? The documents are piling up like a mountain."

Lu An shook his head. "You can't ruin your body. Your dragon body is the most important."

At this time, Shen Yanli came in slowly, "Father."

Emperor Jingyou's face darkened. "What nonsense did you just say in court? You're not afraid of the censor impeaching you, but I'm annoyed. Even if you were protecting Ye Qingyu, you shouldn't discuss the Crown Prince and the throne in court!"

Shen Yanli said calmly, "That Imperial Censor Cao is the Fourth Prince's man, and he's deliberately targeting Qingqing."

Emperor Jingyou frowned, "Isn't that Lao Wu's man?"
