Miss Duo was not particularly amazed when she saw Su Mo. Facing her daughter's stunning beauty every day, she thought Su Mo was good-looking but was not amazed by him.
In Miss Duo's opinion, Su Mo's appearance is not as good as her eldest young master's.
After all, she has such a beautiful sister, and her eldest master is also very handsome.
There is also the biological father of the child in her young lady's belly, who is also very handsome.
Although his style is different from Su Mo's romantic and evil style, the girl with the same beautiful appearance is also very handsome.
So under the bombardment of various beauty filters, Miss Duo is not at all amazed by Su Mo's good looks.
Blushing and heartbeating?
She would only react like this to her own lady, it would be impossible for anyone else to do so.
Miss Duo saw the maid from the Jiangyang Marquis's house across from her blushing face and said to Su Mo, "Sir, are you going to stand up and seek justice?"
"Sir, what position do you hold to be the judge of this matter?" Miss Duo looked at him and asked, "Are you going to protect them and then say that we were the ones who hit her carriage?"
Su Mo smiled and said, "How could that be?"
"I saw it clearly just now. It was the carriage from the Marquis of Jiangyang's mansion that almost hit you."
He turned around and looked at the people in Jiangyang Marquis's Mansion and said, "People in our capital are of higher quality. How could they bully others by taking advantage of their power?"
"There are countless dignitaries and nobles in the capital. If you keep on charging like this, won't you offend everyone in the capital?"
Su Mo looked at Miss Duo and said, "Give me a favor and let this matter go? Let's make peace and resolve a major issue. How do you think?"
Miss Duo glanced at Su Mo and complained in her heart: Why is he so confident that he can have this face?
The next moment, a clear and pleasant young girl's voice came from the carriage of the Jiangyang Marquis's Mansion, saying, "Since Brother Mo has said so, I will not bother with this small merchant."
"Brother Mo, where are you going? Do you want to go with Zhier?" the girl in the carriage asked gently and tenderly.
As soon as Miss Duo heard the girl's voice and tone, she knew that she liked this young man who came out to "uphold justice."
But it was none of her business. After seeing the coachman making a gesture to her, she quickly returned to the carriage.
"Miss." Miss Duo said respectfully to Wushuang.
"Let's go, let them do whatever they want. Don't delay me because I still have to provide free medical treatment soon." Wushuang said lightly.
She was too lazy to deal with the powerful people in the capital, but that didn't mean she was easy to bully.
She was now looking forward to when her title of princess would come down, as her family's 300,000 taels of silver could not be wasted.
The regent Chu Yunyi shouldn't be greedy for her money and not give her the title, right?
Su Mo watched the Zhu family's carriage leave and introduced himself very appropriately, saying his name and the Yuanjiang Marquis Mansion where he came from.
It seemed like he helped Wushuang and the others, but actually... well, he did help them.
It's just a small favor anyway, I can just repay you a little later, there's no need to worry about it so much.
…
In the court.
"Your Majesty, the daughter of the Zhu family is just a merchant girl. How can she be qualified to be named a princess?" After knowing Chu Yunyi's plan, the prime minister stepped forward to stop him.
"Regent, you cannot be partial to your own interests and abuse your position to do such unjust things." The Prime Minister pointed his finger at Chu Yunyi.
Chu Yunyi, who was sitting on the armchair next to the dragon throne, looked at the prime minister indifferently, then at the others.
"Do you all have any objections?" Chu Yunyi asked.
"Lord Regent, this is absolutely unacceptable. That girl from the Zhu family has done nothing of any kind, how can she be given the title of Princess?"
"Prince Regent, please do not take advantage of His Majesty's youth and deceive him. How can the title of Princess be bestowed upon you?"
"The daughter of the Zhu family is just a merchant girl of low status. How can she be compared with the royal family? If she is given the title of princess, how will the royal family's princess be born?"
"Master Yan is right. If a merchant girl is given the title of princess and placed on equal footing with a royal daughter, how will the royal daughter cope with it, Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, you cannot listen to the Regent."
All the ministers in the court opposed Chu Yunyi's proposal to confer the title of Princess on Wushuang. No matter what the reason or purpose was, they just wanted to oppose Chu Yunyi.
Chu Yunyi's tenure as regent has really resented the court officials over the years. This guy is really stubborn. Wouldn't it be better to just turn a blind eye to official affairs?
As a result, Chu Yunyi chose to be serious and caused them to lose some of their wings and arms. It was so hateful.
Now Chu Yunyi wants to confer the title of princess on a merchant girl, and of course they firmly oppose it.
Apart from the court officials, no princes or prince consorts of the royal family were willing to do so.
Their daughters were granted the title of princess because they were members of the royal family. Why was the daughter of the Zhu family, a mere merchant, granted the title?
What qualifications does she have to be on equal footing with the royal ladies?
"What does Your Majesty think?" Chu Yunyi asked Chu Feng who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Although Chu Feng was only eight years old, he had been educated in the ways of the emperor since childhood. The regent Chu Yunyi did not prevent him from getting involved in state affairs, but instead taught him bit by bit.
So even though he was only eight years old, Chu Feng didn't know nothing.
The eight-year-old emperor had not yet developed any imperial or hegemonic aura, but he had an upright posture and outstanding temperament.
Chu Feng heard Chu Yunyi's question, looked at the courtiers who were fiercely opposed, and smiled, "My dear ministers, what you said makes sense, but there are reasons for conferring the title of princess on the Zhu family's daughter."
"You all say that the daughter of the Zhu family has not accomplished much, so she cannot be granted a title."
"But the Zhu family donated 300,000 taels of silver to the national treasury just for the title of a princess." Chu Feng looked at the Prime Minister, the Minister of Revenue, and the other six ministers and said, "If anyone in your family can come up with 300,000 taels of silver, I am willing to make your daughter a princess."
"How?" Chu Feng said with a smile.
Three hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount of money, but these people would never do such a deal by donating it just for the title of a princess for a female relative.
If they could buy an official position or a title with real power by donating 300,000 taels, they would definitely be willing to do it.
But princess is only a title for a woman, and some princesses don’t even have fiefdoms or food allowances. What is the point of such a title?
They would never waste three hundred thousand taels just for a nice title for their daughter.
Chu Feng said with a smile on his childish face, "Prince Linjiang, I remember there were two princesses in your family... Did they give me 600,000 taels of silver back then?"
King Linjiang quickly apologized and told the truth.
The two princesses in his family did not spend a penny, and even needed the royal family to pay for the salaries of his daughters.
Yes, the royal princess does have a salary.
Although it is not much, it is a lot of money over the years.
