"To be the Empress?" Jiang Si's eyes lit up as she looked at the old man who had spoken, her gaze arrogant and rebellious: "As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and similarly, a princess who doesn't want to be the Empress is not a good princess!"

“My husband, your Marshal Agares, is the second in line to the throne of the Empire, protected by the law. What’s wrong with me dreaming of being empress? What, you’re so controlling, you’re going to meddle in other people’s business!”

"You...you're so vulgar..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? You're so old, why aren't you enjoying your retirement at home? You're causing trouble!" Jiang Si, now known as Jiang Xiaodao, snapped back, "And you, you, you, all you old men, you're just bored and have nothing better to do than come here to find His Majesty and the Empress, asking His Majesty to choose concubines and secondary consorts!"

"Have you all never read books or studied the law? Don't you know that the imperial law is monogamy? And you want His Majesty to choose concubines and secondary consorts? What are you trying to do?"

"Do you want His Majesty to lose his authority, and for the Empress, as the chief executive officer of the Supreme Court, to lose credibility and allow her husband to choose concubines without following the law?"

"without…"

"Nothing much! I think you're not just thinking the empire has no heir, you're up to no good!" Jiang Si spoke without stopping, and as soon as the old man in the council chamber opened his mouth, she threw a bucket of mud at him: "You two are all up to no good, playing a big game, thinking that there are few people in the royal family, and using the name of the heir to take over!"

"Absolutely not!" Old Hu raised his voice, "Princess Consort, don't spout nonsense!"

"Am I just spouting nonsense?" Jiang Si stood up from her chair, tossed the invisible Jiang Dandan back onto the chair, walked over to the six beauties, and pointed at one of them: "I'm just spouting nonsense. Come on, tell me, what is this beauty's fertility score?"

Old Hu finally got up from the ground, his legs shaking like a leaf.

Jiang Si twitched her fingers slightly, and a wisp of transparent spiritual energy left her fingers and struck Old Hu's knee.

With a thud.

Old Hu's knees slammed heavily onto the ground as he stood up, causing him to collapse to the floor in pain.

Jiang Si clicked her tongue: "Old Hu, if you can't stand up to speak, then kneel down to speak. Don't force yourself. Come on, tell me, what is this beauty's fertility value?"

Hu Lao was so pained that tears came to his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "35. Bixia's fertility value is 35. If she is with His Majesty, she will surely be able to raise an excellent successor."

Jiang bluntly retorted, "Only 35? Her Majesty the Empress is 45. 35 is nothing compared to her. Look how anxious you are."

"How about this one?" Jiang Si asked, pointing to the second beautiful woman. "How much are you?"

The beautiful woman flinched and stammered, "Reporting to the Princess Consort, my fertility value is 38.5!"

"Wow, that's quite tall." Jiang Si put her hands behind her back. "But compared to the Empress, in what way do you compare?"

"Do you have his beauty, his good figure, his abilities, or a deeper relationship with His Majesty than he does? Or perhaps your brother is also an Imperial General, and your brother is also Marshal Agares's teacher!"

Bo Jichen: "..."

It was quite sudden.

It turns out that in the eyes of my cheap, airless eldest daughter, I am full of virtues. Waaah, I haven't spoiled her for nothing.

I'll stop teasing her so much later.

Next time she lays an egg, I'll let her play with it again.

"I...I...no...no...no..."

"Young lady, you can't compare to him in any way. What do you mean by 'you, you, you'? You've been used as pawns by these old men, and you still think you're so beautiful, striking poses and looking all lovey-dovey. But does His Majesty even pay attention to you?"

Six beautiful women: "..."

They didn't pose or flaunt themselves.

She gave him a tender look.

The princess is too... too vulgar.

It completely lacked any aristocratic demeanor, grandeur, elegance, or nobility.

"So, young ladies!" Jiang Si paused and concluded, "You are all so beautiful, in the prime of your lives, and have good fertility rates. Why do you want to be pawns, shooting wherever others point? You don't look like children from poor families, so why waste yourselves like this?"

Six beautiful women: "..."

How can marrying the emperor as a concubine or empress be considered a degradation of oneself?

Not at all wasteful, not at all wasteful.

Even if they didn't raise a child to be their legal parentage, their social status would immediately rise.

If they were to have a child, His Majesty the Emperor could depose the Empress, and they could then ascend to the throne.

To be the Empress of the Empire means having endless gorgeous clothes to wear and countless diamonds to adorn yourself with!

"Your Majesty!" Old Hu, lying on the ground in pain, cried out with tears streaming down his face, "The empire cannot be without an heir for a single day. These noble daughters from good families were all chosen for Your Majesty by the old ministers of the Council. Please, Your Majesty, choose your consorts and empresses, and severely punish the princess consort!"

"Severely punish me?" Jiang Si thought it was the biggest joke in the world: "Old Hu, your genes have collapsed, and even the medicine can't keep up with the pain. Your mental strength is so weak that even a three-year-old child could beat you up."

Old Hu was shocked... How did she figure that out?

“And you lot.” Jiang Si pointed to the old men and women in the hall: “You are all over 100 or 200 years old. You suffer from the daily devouring of spiritual power and the pain of genetic collapse. Instead of making you behave, it has made you act up. You are really something.”

An elderly woman with white hair, leaning on a cane, came out and slammed the cane on the ground, shouting, "Outrageous! Outrageous! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Princess Agares, the Princess Consort's words are so rude and barbaric, contrary to the image of the royal family. Please punish her!"

Agares, who had remained silent until now, crossed his long legs and said expressionlessly, "Member of the Water Council, freedom of speech is the most basic human right granted to every citizen by the Imperial Constitution!"

"Although the Princess Consort is a princess consort and a member of the royal family, she is also an imperial citizen, and the imperial constitution grants her freedom of speech."

“You say she is rude and barbaric, and that we should punish her. You have committed a crime. You have committed the crime of instigation and the crime of infringing on the freedom of speech of others.”

Water Councilor: "..."

This is sophistry, sophistry.

His Highness Agares is making unfounded accusations.

Whose princess consort, a member of the royal family, isn't beautiful, elegant, and noble? How could she be so vulgar and constantly talking about defecating and farting?

Relos also spoke up, his face grim: "Member Shui, Member Hu, you're instigating us to commit crimes, trying to shift the blame eastward, and you don't want to take responsibility yourselves?"

"His Majesty……"

With a thud.

As soon as Councilor Shui finished speaking, just like Councilor Hu, his knees hit the ground hard. Immediately afterward, all ten other elderly people knelt down.

Seeing this, Jiang Si pretended to be surprised and jumped up: "Everyone knows you were wrong, and you know you were wrong, so there's no need to give me such a big bow. I am not a petty person."

"Get up quickly, get up quickly. You're all getting on in years, your bones are brittle. Don't break your bones kneeling, it's not worth it."

The elderly men and women: "!!!!"

Who the hell wants to kneel?

But for some reason, he suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Princess Consort!" Old Hu shouted through gritted teeth, "According to the Imperial Royal Law, His Majesty the Emperor has the right to take concubines and choose secondary consorts. Your repeated obstruction shows that you have ulterior motives and want to end the imperial bloodline."

Jiang Si squatted down, pressing down her skirt, and looked at Old Hu: "Old man, is there something weighing you down in your head? Do you feel like banging your head against the wall every night in the middle of the night?"

Old Hu's pupils constricted suddenly, and a shrewd glint flashed in his cloudy eyes: "You..."

Jiang Si curled her lips into a sneer, arrogant and cold: "Kneel on the ground, kowtow three times and nine times to His Highness Agares, and apologize to His Majesty and the Empress. I will find you a newly promoted plant therapist to remove that thing from your brain and let you sleep well."

"you…"

“You can choose not to kneel, or you can choose not to kowtow.” Jiang Si interrupted him, her loud voice echoing throughout the hall: “I guarantee that thing in your head will make you last no more than three months. And you old folks, either your legs are messed up, or your arms are messed up, or your internal organs are messed up, and of course, the most common problem is that your heads are messed up.”

"I'll give you one chance. Kneel down and beg properly, kowtow properly, and make His Majesty, the Empress, and Prince Agares forgive you. Otherwise, your mental agitation will disappear, your genes will collapse, and given your advanced age, you'll all be dead in three months at most!"
