Chapter 1397: From now on, I can only coax and flatter Princess Ford
No matter how hard Miss Wang tried to figure it out, she could only be dragged away.
At this time, no one paid attention to the Wang family.
However, everyone present was alert.
That is, you can offend anyone but not Princess Ford!
If you think about it carefully, none of those in the capital who offended Princess Fude had a good ending!
How about the Su family, a century-old family?
The plaque is gone!
How about the Bai family?
The legitimate son was castrated!
How about Prince Rong’s Mansion?
The building collapsed!
…
The ministers shuddered.
I secretly swore to myself that when I got home I would tell my whole family that from now on I would only coax, pamper, and flatter Princess Ford, and I would only be her bootlicker...
Just, it’s frustrating!
The eldest master of the Bai family suffered a lot.
He never thought that things would take such a dramatic turn.
The third prince was actually named the crown prince just like that!
Of course, the eldest master of the Bai family had long known that the emperor intended to enthrone Xuanyuan Jin as the crown prince, but he did not expect that the emperor did not hesitate and directly ordered someone to announce the decree despite the alienation caused by Lord Wang.
From this, it can be seen that the emperor has great trust in his son, the third prince.
It has been said since ancient times that emperors are suspicious, and the imperial family is the most ruthless.
Now it seems that it may not be the case...
The eldest master of the Bai family looked at the second prince.
The second prince looked distraught, but there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.
The eldest master of the Bai family looked at the second prince, then at the handsome Xuanyuan Jin, and he had to admit that no matter how he looked at it, the second prince could not compare to the third prince in terms of imperial aura.
Alas! The eldest master of the Bai family sighed secretly.
I bet on the right thing at first, but ended up losing everything.
Fortunately, no one knew that the Bai family had ordered people to spread rumors.
The eldest master of the Bai family secretly rejoiced in his heart.
He thought that the Queen Mother had always been kind to the Third Prince and had been very gracious to Princess Fude. After the Third Prince ascended the throne, she would not deliberately make things difficult for the Bai family for the Queen Mother's sake.
It would be even better if I could use the help of the Empress Dowager to ease the relationship with Princess Fude.
The eldest master of the Bai family was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Tang Bao's voice.
"Your Majesty, Su Tang has something to report!" The little girl with delicate eyebrows and eyes, with an innocent and harmless expression on her face, saluted the emperor.
Emperor Tianxi raised his eyebrows and said in a kind tone, "What do you want to report, Fuya? Tell me!"
For some reason, the eldest master of the Bai family suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
As expected, Tang Bao said in a crisp voice, "Your Majesty, Great Yan is a great country, renowned for its etiquette. Yet, someone is spreading rumors and slandering my sister, Xia Siyakefu. This has caused many court officials and their wives to disregard their dignity and gossip like gossipmongers in the market, completely forgetting the principle that a gentleman should not criticize others behind their backs..."
When Tang Bao said this, a rare hint of ruthlessness flashed in her clear big eyes.
"Your Majesty, Su Tang believes that if this matter were to be spread, foreigners would undoubtedly mock the officials and aristocratic families of our Great Yan. They are superficially known as a nation of etiquette, but in reality, they are all vulgar and gossipy. This is a disgrace to our Great Yan..."
Following Tang Bao's words, Emperor Tianxi's expression turned cold.
The faces of many officials and their families also turned red.
They gossip too!
The eldest master of the Bai family's face did not turn red, but pale, extremely pale.
How come the specifications have been improved?
As for those officials and their wives who were not involved in the rumors, they showed expressions of solidarity against the enemy.
There's no way, Tangbao is waving the banner in such a grand manner!
It concerns the reputation of Dayan and their own reputation, and it is almost a matter of life and death.
It has to be said that Tang Bao's sublimation operation directly touched the hearts of these people.
"Your Majesty, Su Tang begs you to issue an order to thoroughly investigate the person who spread the rumors and caused trouble behind the scenes. This person has evil intentions and must have ulterior motives. It is possible that he deliberately wants to tarnish the reputation of Dayan and make us Dayan be laughed at by foreigners!" Tang Bao's face was full of justice, and he looked like he was determined to defend Dayan's reputation to the death.
"Good! Someone is going to be unlucky again!" Princess Linghua said coldly with the airs of a prophet.
After saying that, he looked at Xia Siya, and his composure was broken in a second.
"Su Tang is truly devoted to you!" Princess Linghua said sourly, "If it were her own business, with her kind nature, she would have just laughed it off. How could she be so stubborn and keep pursuing it?"
"I'm afraid that after this incident, no one will dare to mess with you anymore."
Princess Linghua paused at this point, then pondered and said, "But then again, if it's Su Tang's own business, she doesn't need to take action herself. She won't be able to get past His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The more Princess Linghua spoke, the more sad she felt.
Why is there no one who is so nice to me?
Xia Siya's eyes were red, and she said firmly, "Sister Fuya is the best sister! From now on, even if it costs my life, I will protect Sister Fuya and will never let anyone bully her!"
Princess Linghua looked at Xia Siya with a complicated look, opened her mouth, and wanted to tell Xia Siya that with your sister Fuya's ability, there was probably no time for her to be protected by you.
Besides, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get a number!
Princess Linghua thought of Xuanyuan Jin, the brothers and nephews of the Su family, and the ladies in the palace. In the end, she did not attack Xia Siya, but just patted Xia Siya on the shoulder encouragingly, fulfilling her friendship.
At this time, Kong Hanlin, a representative of the upright figures in the officialdom, was the first to stand up.
"Your Majesty, I second this motion!"
Kong Hanlin's beard twitched and his face was full of anger.
How can we allow others to slander the integrity of scholars and the dignity of Dayan?
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!" Prime Minister Zheng also stood up.
"Your Majesty, I second the motion..."
"emperor……"
All of a sudden, all the officials who had not participated in discussing the rumors began to speak out.
Even some of those who participated stood up and offered suggestions.
After all, if you don't speak at this time, it means you are involved.
Emperor Tianxi ordered in a stern voice, "This is a heinous act. Hand it over to the Dali Temple for a thorough investigation immediately!"
"I obey your order!" Lord Xia said loudly.
Lord Xia is so excited!
I was so excited that I almost cried.
The emperor has ordered him to conduct a thorough investigation. What else can he not do?
No matter who he is, if he dares to throw dirty water on my daughter, I will make you lose several layers of skin!
Lord Xia was rubbing his hands, looking like he was ready to do something big.
His eyes couldn't help but glance at the eldest master of the Bai family.
The eldest master of the Bai family felt a pang of anxiety in his heart, as if he was being stared at by a wolf.
