"Madam Fang, why don't you thank the Emperor quickly..."

Li Zhenting, who was standing aside, saw Fang Yun was so shocked that she even forgot to return the greeting, so he whispered a reminder.

"This humble woman thanks His Majesty. Long live the Emperor..."

Fang Yun kowtowed hurriedly to express her gratitude, her heart pounding with excitement.

This was truly a pleasant surprise. God bless me, the good deeds my father did back then finally benefited his descendants. From now on, the Fang family has a certain rank, no longer a merchant family that everyone can look down upon!

It seems that the emperor also agrees with her divorce from Nangong Xun!

Eunuch Zhao drafted the imperial edict and read it out on the spot.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims! The Fang family, with its heart set on the world, has provided disaster relief and rescued the people, aided the army in repelling the Tartars, and hereby bestows upon Fang Yun the title of First-Rank Founding Lady. This is my decree..."

Eunuch Zhao, with a head full of white hair, read out the imperial edict in a hoarse voice, then smiled and nodded at Li Zhenting.

He could see that the Second Prince had turned a disaster into a blessing. His current consort, Nangong Qing, was a true talent, destined to become his right-hand man. And now, with the support of Fang Yun, a scion of the Yan Kingdom's foremost merchant family, this was like adding wings to a tiger. It was only a matter of time before he could successfully clear away any obstacles, regain military power, and inherit the throne.

"I accept your command and thank you. Long live the emperor!"

With the help of Nangong Qing, Fang Yun kowtowed again and coughed a few times because she was too excited.

Seeing that Fang Yun was too weak, Prince Jiajing decisively gave her a seat.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is in poor health after the Cining Palace was robbed. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to confer the title of First Rank Madam Jianguo on Fang Yun?"

Lu Pei'an stood up with a gloomy face and directly opposed it angrily.

"Prince Zhenguan is wrong. If there is trouble in the Cining Palace, the Empress will handle it. Could it be that Prince Zhenguan suspects that the Empress is not doing her job well?"

Prime Minister Cao's words left Prince Zhenguan speechless.

Humph, a warrior with no knowledge at all, relying on the fact that the Queen is his sister, is showing off in all kinds of ways. Even the current emperor is so indifferent, he has long disliked him!

If he wasn't a weak civil official, he would really want to compete with this rough man!

"Old Cao, you're confusing the public! We were talking about Fang Yun's request for divorce and then her imperial title, but you brought up the Empress's management of the harem. What's your intention? I think you're just trying to stir up trouble!"

Seeing the queen with a gloomy face and no words, Lu Pei'an, who was frustrated, stamped his feet, gritted his teeth and yelled at Prime Minister Cao.

The queen cannot do anything indecent, if he doesn't step forward, who will?

"Prince Zhenguan has gone too far! How can you be so rude in the court..."

Prince Jiajing frowned and spoke.

"Anyway, Fang Yun can't be sealed..."

Prince Zhenguan sat down angrily on a chair next to the queen.

"As the ancients said, the ruler is the leader of his ministers, and the husband is the leader of his sons! Where did the Prince of Zhenguan get the guts to interrupt the emperor?

The imperial decree conferring the title of First-Rank Founding Lady on my mother has been announced, and all the ministers in the court have seen it. Could it be that the Prince of Zhenguan, with his big eyes, couldn't see it?"

Nangong Qing is not afraid of him, the King of Zhengguan.

In fact, Prince Zhengguan is a relative by marriage, and she, Nangong Qing, is the princess of Prince Yu. Even if he has a big beard, he should still bow and greet her as the princess when they meet!

puff……

Prince Jiajing, who was sitting upright on the dragon throne, almost laughed out loud when he saw Nangong Qing not playing by the rules and directly confronting Prince Zhenguan in front of many civil and military ministers.

Finally, someone came who could help him vent his anger.

Lu Pei'an relied on the military power in his hands and the support of Empress Lu, and he always did things that were unorthodox. He was angry but could only endure it. Other loyal ministers dared not speak out against Lu Pei'an.

"you you you……"

When has Lu Pei'an, who has always been domineering, ever suffered such humiliation?

He was originally a martial artist who relied on swordsmanship and stick fighting without much knowledge. At this moment, his blood was boiling with anger, and his thick lips were trembling, making him unable to speak.

"What do you mean by 'you'? You think you can just act recklessly in the street? Xuanzheng Hall is where the Emperor discusses state affairs with his many civil and military ministers, not the place for you to act like a spoiled brat! If you're not convinced, go back and bang your head against the wall. Don't just stand here and waste other people's time!"

Nangong Qing kept talking, making Prime Minister Cao, Grand Tutor Pang and other civil officials laugh out loud, and even Li Zhenting couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Seeing that Lu Pei'an's face had turned purple, Nangong Qing had no intention of letting him go.

"When he's old enough, he should retire and go back to the countryside. Wouldn't he be happy playing with his grandchildren? Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong. I forgot that you didn't even have a son..."

After these words were spoken, the smile on Prince Jiajing's face was not too obvious.

When Lü Pei'an was a child, he got hurt in a fight and had been infertile for many years. This was a sore spot for Lü Pei'an. Mentioning his sonlessness in public was like poking at his lungs! It was precisely because of this that he worked together with Empress Lü to assist Prince Qi.

In the past, the only person who dared to talk about this matter to someone’s face was her, Nangong Qing!

"you you!"

Lu Pei'an, who was so angry that he was shaking all over, walked quickly to Nangong Qing. Nangong Qing smiled and raised her little face to greet him.

Dare to hit her? That would be the crime of bullying! This alone is enough to punish him! Besides, with Li Zhenting around, how could he let Lu Pei'an do whatever he wants!

"Could it be that Prince Zhengguan is planning to attack my princess?"

Li Zhenting's face darkened. He pulled Nangong Qing behind him and stared coldly at Lu Pei'an, who was trembling with anger.

"That's enough, Prince Zhenguan, please step back and don't cause any more trouble!"

At the order of Prince Jiajing, no matter how unwilling Lü Pei'an was to accept it, he had to retreat in disappointment.

"Madam Jianguo and Grand Tutor Nangong's request for a peaceful divorce has been approved. It's been reported that Madam Jianguo has been running the household for so many years, and now she's become seriously ill. It's time for her to take a break."

"Nangong Mansion was originally built with funds from Madam Jianguo. Considering the integrity of Grand Tutor Nangong, if he moves out of Nangong Mansion and has no other place to live, Grand Tutor Nangong and his family will temporarily live in Nangong Mansion for six months. After the new year, Nangong Mansion will be returned to Madam Fang. Grand Tutor Nangong, are you willing to do so?"

Nangong Xun almost fainted on the ground. From what Prince Jiajing said, not only would he allow Fang Yun to divorce him, he would also take back the mansion!

Can he say he doesn't want to?

The Nangong Mansion covers an area of ​​500 mu, and the entire Nangong Mansion is magnificently built. If he leaves the Nangong Mansion, where can he find such a spacious and bright house to live in?

Besides, all the gold, silver and jewelry that I had cheated from Nangong Qing were stolen a few days ago. I can live here temporarily for half a year, so at least I have a place to stay.

But he could only say yes! Nangong Qing had Li Zhenting as his backer. Even the King of Zhenguan, Lü Pei'an, was not afraid of him, so how could he be afraid of him?

Who knows what nasty words he'll say!

"Okay, let's adjourn..."

The Jiajing prince was overjoyed at the smooth completion of the divorce. Unexpectedly, his excessive joy caused his stomach, which had only been a slight pain, to become even more uncomfortable.

Prince Jiajing's subtle expression naturally did not escape Nangong Qing's eyes.

She pulled Li Zhenting aside and whispered something quickly.

It's time to take action.
