As soon as Emperor Dewu came out holding Yuchi Xi, they immediately knelt down to pay their respects. Xia Can was among them. She had noticed that many ministers were secretly looking at her, and their eyes were not very friendly.
She calmly followed the ceremony and also wore her official uniform.
After Emperor Dewu took his seat, one of the ministers could no longer contain himself and stepped forward, kneeling down and shouting, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Miss Xia is still so young, and she has been staying away from home all these years. How can we know if her heart is still in Yuan Kingdom?"
"We have so many outstanding men in the Yuan Kingdom, why would His Majesty use a girl like her?"
After he finished speaking, many ministers echoed him, "That's right!"
The rest of them were more worried. If there were female military officers, would there be female generals, female governors, and female prime ministers in the future?
They are afraid that they will be replaced! So they dare not acknowledge her excellence.
I don’t want the emperor to set this precedent!
As a girl, isn't it good for you to stay at home and take care of your husband and children?
A minister on the side disagreed, "The emperor has always said that as long as they are strong, it doesn't matter whether they are men or women, but you don't listen at all!"
"What's wrong with being a girl? We have many outstanding men and women in Yuan Country!"
"That's right, so pedantic!!"
Emperor Dewu calmly watched them quarreling. After hearing what they said, Xia Can began to understand what his mother had said yesterday. Didn't his mother have expected something like this to happen today?
She lowered her eyes and said nothing. She didn't need to say anything. Her position was given to her by the emperor. As long as the emperor did not withdraw it, nothing they said could shake it.
Emperor Dewu waited until they had finished arguing, then looked at the eunuch beside him and said, "Come, read the belief written by Xia Aiqing."
The father-in-law replied "yes", glanced at Xia Can, and began to read.
[I know you all are not happy with my daughter being in this position, but I spoiled her and she has never suffered any grievances. If you have any opinions, just come and tell me directly. Don't bully her as a little girl.
If you guys want to spar with me, I'll accompany you to the end! 】
