Chapter 389 Then I will show you how arrogant I am!

"My father told me to be the Crown Princess. I have to attend the morning court and I can't go to the academy to study."

Lu Li used Lu Yanshi as an excuse.

"In that case, you should accompany your father to the morning court tomorrow." Xia Shuyi reached out and tapped her daughter's forehead.

Silly girl, you will understand later that being a crown princess is not as easy as going to school.

"Okay!" Lu Li smiled and felt lucky that he had skipped going to school.

She attended the morning court with her father and it was very relaxing!

I ate some melons and listened to the ministers quarreling, and it was over in the morning.

Lu Li greeted the next day with great anticipation.

Thanks to Qu Fufeng's suggestion, they only held the morning court at 9:00 p.m., so Lu Li took a nap and went to court with his father after breakfast.

The ministers were no longer surprised by this scene.

Ever since the Ninth Princess was born, the Emperor would bring her to court from time to time.

But they never expected that the emperor would come up with the idea of ​​letting the ninth princess inherit the throne.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable."

Lu Yanshi had just announced his intention to make Lu Li the Crown Princess when the Grand Tutor immediately stood up to refute him.

"Your Majesty, the appointment of a crown prince is a matter of etiquette and morality. If the princess ascends the throne, it may violate etiquette and morality, causing controversy in the court and the public, which will be detrimental to the stability of the country."

The Grand Tutor also echoed: "There is no precedent of previous emperors appointing princesses as crown princes. Your Majesty's move may violate the ancestral teachings and cause dissatisfaction among the royal family and even discussion throughout the country. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

The Minister of Rites also nodded and said, "Since ancient times, the throne has always been inherited by the prince to ensure the stability of the country and the continuity of bloodline. Although the princess is talented and intelligent, making her the crown prince may go against the expectations of the world and shake the foundation of the country."

Lu Li originally didn't have much in mind for the crown princess, but now that she saw so many ministers didn't want her to be the crown princess, she immediately got angry.

What do these people mean? Do they look down on her?

Although she could not quite understand what the ministers said in their flowery language, she could sense the opposition in their words.

They didn't want her to be the leader, right? But she insisted on being the leader!

"So noisy!" Lu Li imitated Lu Yanshi's usual behavior and slammed the table.

The ministers were all shocked.

The Ninth Princess hasn't even been named the Crown Princess yet, but she's already so arrogant. What will happen if she inherits the throne in the future?

The voices of opposition became more intense, and many accused Lu Li of being ignorant of etiquette.

Lu Li's face turned red as she listened to these accusations.

[I slam the table and that's considered arrogant? ]

【Then I will show you how arrogant I am! 】

Hearing Lu Li's inner voice, Lu Yanshi had a bad feeling in his heart.

Before he could open his mouth, a bolt of lightning came from the sky and split the hall apart.

A deep pit appeared in the hall. Although no one was hurt, the movement was enough to calm everyone down.

Lu Yanshi was heartbroken.

It’s over, it’s over. The national treasury is going to have a large amount of money reduced again.

Confused minister: ???

Everything was fine, why did a bolt of thunder suddenly happen out of nowhere?

"Xiaojiu, repairing the palace is very costly. Can we not be so impulsive next time?" Lu Yanshi felt distressed.

"They are too noisy. They don't listen to me. I just want them to be quiet." Lu Li said aggrievedly.

"So, Xiaojiu must work hard to take your father's place. Once you become the emperor, you won't have to worry so much. They will all have to listen to you." Lu Yanshi took the opportunity to brainwash his daughter.

She was afraid that these ministers would persuade her to be unwilling to inherit the throne.

God knows how afraid he was that Lu Li would run away.

This is the best successor he carefully selected.

The court officials heard this conversation: ???

So the thunder just now was caused by the Ninth Princess.

Everything in the past suddenly became traceable.

They have not forgotten the Southern Frontier Imperial Master who was hacked to a crisp during the Ninth Princess' first birthday banquet.

Those ministers who had previously actively opposed it suddenly felt a chill down their spines.

Lu Li carefully thought about his father's words, his brows tightly furrowed.

She felt that her father was wrong.

"Father, didn't you say that they all have to listen to the Emperor? Why can they disobey you when you say to make me the Crown Princess?" Lu Li asked seriously.

Lu Yanshi: ...

It’s over. My daughter has found a loophole in my words again.

He glanced at the group of ministers with some annoyance.

They urged him to appoint a crown prince and choose a successor every day, but now that the choice has been made, they are objecting again.

If anyone dares to scare his precious little Jiu into not wanting to be the Crown Princess anymore, don't blame him for torturing them.

Seeing that his daughter was still waiting for his answer, Lu Yanshi had no choice but to lie: "They are just talking, and they will listen to father in the end. Now they are just going through the process and objecting as a routine, so that outsiders will not say that father is arbitrary and does not give ministers a chance to advise. They are doing this for the good of father's reputation."

Ministers: …

They are not, they don't.

Also, how could the emperor teach the Ninth Princess like this?

Aren't you afraid of corrupting Lord Chu?

When this thought came to mind, everyone was shocked. What was going on? They had already put the Ninth Princess in the position of successor to the throne.

"Oh." Lu Li nodded thoughtfully.

"Then Father, should you now ask them why they object? Then go through the process, and then let Father announce that I am the Crown Princess!"

"Yes." Lu Yanshi nodded, then looked at the ministers.

"My dear ministers, what do you think about my appointment of the Ninth Princess as the Crown Princess? If no one objects, then this matter is settled."

His eyes were like small knives, and he would fly out and stab to death anyone who dared to disagree.

When the ministers saw Lu Li attracting thunder from the sky and thought of her previous prayers for rain and her miraculous predictive abilities, they were all troubled.

Except for being a girl, the Ninth Princess meets all the criteria to be the Crown Prince.

But throughout the dynasties, there has never been a female emperor.

Is this appropriate?

Seeing that no one else spoke, Qu Fufeng was the first to speak up: "Your Majesty is wise, and I think no one is more suitable to inherit the throne than the Ninth Princess. As a woman, didn't the Concubine Shu also lead troops to fight on the battlefield and kill the enemy? Why can't the princess be the empress?"

"I second the proposal to make the Ninth Princess the Crown Princess." Meng Shanchuan also stood up.

Just kidding, they are all the emperor's people.

The emperor has spoken, so they naturally have to respond.

The Grand Master struggled desperately and continued to object: "But the princess is still a princess after all. If she gives birth to a child, won't she hand over the Great Xia Empire to outsiders?"

Lu Li understood what he said.

She looked puzzled: "Aren't all children born from women's bellies? No matter who the father is, he can guarantee that the child is definitely that woman's. On the contrary, men, can you be sure that the child in your wife's belly is definitely yours?"

Ministers: …

What’s going on? What the Ninth Princess said makes a lot of sense.

"If I become the emperor in the future, I can be sure that all my children are my own. Can you guarantee it?" Lu Li continued to ask.
