Shocked! I've become a female-dominated powerhouse!
Chapter 178 The position of Lady of the Court is important, but so is the position of husband.
"I want my position as the Lady of the Heir Apparent! Why are you all talking about other things? What does this have to do with my husband?!"
Miao Yi's voice was clear and firm, echoing in the court and silencing everyone for a moment.
But that was only a temporary silence. Sure enough, another minister stepped forward and said:
"Third Princess Consort, how can this be unrelated? Now that you have married into the royal family, you should prioritize the honor and disgrace of the royal family. Naturally, you should no longer hold the title of Lady of the First Rank. Yet now you have come to the court to plead for the title of Lady of the First Rank."
Once you marry into the family, you can no longer have the position of Lady of the Heir Apparent. Now you want the position of Lady of the Heir Apparent again. Isn't that a clear indication that you want a divorce?
This is a complete disregard for the Third Prince's dignity; how can the royal family bear this?
Miao Yi didn't quite understand these people's thought processes. They didn't even ask her how she wanted to get it back before taking her words for granted.
The Minister was about to provoke further, but the Empress gently raised her hand, signaling everyone in the court to quiet down.
Then he looked at Miao Yi and said in a deep voice, "Miao Yi, tell me, why are you so obsessed with the position of the World's Lady?"
Even if the Empress hadn't met Miao Ying before, she would still know a bit about him, so there must be something she could say.
There might be unexpected surprises. When she first heard those words, her first thought was of her third son's marriage. However, as the ministers spoke, she regained some of her composure.
Miao Yi bowed to the Empress once more, ignoring the messy ministers, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, although I am the Third Princess Consort..."
However, the Nanyan Prince's Mansion is the foundation of my household. Now, remembering my mother's dying wish and my grandfather's instructions, I am thinking of reclaiming my title as the Heiress.
Miao Yi then recalled the words of the ministers and added, "Of course, if you want to take back your position, you should do so through your own abilities, not by divorcing my husband as these ministers claim."
As she spoke, Miao Yi's gaze fell on the ministers who had spoken the loudest earlier: "Furthermore, I hope that you all understand that I love my husband dearly, and there is no question of divorce or mistreatment."
The ministers who were being watched felt a strange sense of unease, not because of Miao Yi's words.
Instead, they were stared at calmly by Miao Yi, as if they were being stared at by some ferocious beast, as if the slightest resistance would cost them their lives and decapitate them!
Some astute ministers already knew that this Third Princess Consort was no ordinary person. If she were just a spoiled brat, how could she possess the aura of a ruler? Such aura is not something that ordinary people can have.
Ministers who had such speculations remained silent, avoiding any trouble.
The Empress watched the exchange between her ministers below her, and her mood was fairly good: "Oh, so the Third Princess Consort has some ideas?"
"Your Majesty, I have no idea. But does Your Majesty have any thoughts?"
"My thoughts?" The Empress was intrigued upon hearing this.
"Is that what you're saying? That you should do exactly what I think? Is that what the Third Princess Consort means?"
"Sort of and not." Miao Yi wasn't that stupid; she didn't think the Empress could do whatever she wanted.
"Oh, is that so? How can it be considered as such, and how can it not be?"
"Your Majesty, please speak first, and I will see if it is feasible." Miao Yi stood in the middle of the court, his demeanor calm and composed, as if he were discussing something very ordinary.
Many ministers were worried for Miao Yi, who dared to speak to His Majesty in such a manner.
"You still want me to explain them to you one by one? If I tell you one thing and you can't do it, and I tell you another and you still can't do it, wouldn't that be playing with me?" The Empress spoke with a hint of force.
The ministers below all knelt down and said in unison:
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
To mock His Majesty? Is that something these ministers should listen to?
Even if it wasn't them personally, but they were there, and if they actually saw the Emperor being mocked, they shouldn't have done that.
"As long as it's not something that Heaven, Earth, and Man cannot accomplish, I think it's about right," Miao Yi said with a touch of humility, using the word "about right."
At this moment, the First Princess, who had not spoken until now, chuckled and said, "The Third Princess is quite eloquent. 'Harmony between Heaven, Earth, and Man' is a bit too exaggerated. Perhaps she's just here to have some fun in the court."
"Who are you?" Miao Yi didn't recognize the person, but she could keenly sense his hostility towards her.
Or perhaps they wished they could kill her.
Upon hearing this, the First Princess's face flushed red with anger.
She didn't believe that Miao Yi wouldn't know who she was; asking such a question was just a sarcastic remark that she was meddling in other people's business.
The First Princess wanted to say something more, but suddenly the Empress spoke up.
"Alright, stop arguing." The Empress was quite interested in what Mu Yi was saying when this spoils the mood.
The First Queen noticed the Queen's slight displeasure and had no choice but to give up and return to her seat.
Of course, all she did was wait and see Muse make a fool of herself.
After all, who would dare to make such a big promise? They even dared to fool the Queen.
"Miao Yi, since you are so confident, I will also say something, and you can listen to it."
Miao nodded.
The Empress spoke up, saying, "I received a memorial these past few days. It has been raining for some time now, and I'm afraid there might be flooding in the south. Why don't you go and check on it for me, so that the people there can live in peace and prosperity? What do you say?"
The Empress's words caused an uproar in the court.
It's not for any other reason than that the floods in the south haven't even started yet. If His Majesty were to go in his place, he would naturally have the status of an inspector. In this case, the people in the region are living in peace and prosperity, and His Majesty may have already noticed that there are corrupt officials in the south. This is to send someone to investigate them.
In this way, the Third Princess, who had no official title or status, was able to find a way out and gain some power. If she were to return from the south, wouldn't she have a voice in the court and be able to share in the benefits?
This means the Third Princess Consort will have to step into the imperial court just like the First Princess Consort and the Princess Consort, and this truly marks the beginning of the struggle for the throne... This...
The Empress's words, though seemingly a difficult statement, actually brought numerous benefits.
The eldest and second princesses were shocked and surprised, but the second princess was more composed.
Upon hearing these words, the First Princess couldn't help but gesture with her eyes to some of the court officials.
Sure enough, a minister soon stepped forward and bowed.
"Your Majesty, this is probably not advisable. The floods in the south are a serious matter. The Third Princess Consort has neither displayed her talents in court nor gained any reputation among the common people. In this way..."
"Your Majesty, I second that suggestion. The Third Princess Consort has always been carefree and has never been involved in government affairs. Given the floods in the south... I'm afraid she wouldn't be up to the task."
"Your Majesty, I also agree. The Third Princess Consort is still a bit inexperienced. Perhaps she should find some small tasks to gain experience."
The Empress was not surprised by the behavior of her ministers; her ultimate goal remained the seemingly unrelated prophecy.
"I wonder what the Third Princess thinks?"
