All the civil and military officials had not spoken before, but when they heard Ye Qianning's request, they were filled with anger.
The Fifth Princess is still a royal princess after all. If she kowtows three times and kowtows nine times to beg someone to enter the city, the royal family will become a laughing stock in the eyes of the world.
"Ye Qianning, don't go too far." Sang Qi said coldly.
"Excessive? When she closed the city gates and acted arrogantly, I saw many powerful people in the capital were there. The number of people gathered that day was no less than now. Almost the entire capital knew the time we entered the city. Don't the Crown Prince and His Majesty know about it?" Ye Qianning paused and said, "And they said that the Crown Prince and His Majesty knew about it, but didn't stop the Fifth Princess. Is their purpose the same as the Princess's, to embarrass my master and father?"
Sang Qi tightened his lips and couldn't find words to refute for a moment. He did know it, but he didn't expect Sang Shu's behavior to be bolder than he expected.
Emperor Beili also had a sullen expression. What he had said in secret was now brought out into the open, and no matter how he refuted it, he was at a disadvantage.
The official, who had just been intoxicated by the atmosphere, dropped his head like a deflated ball after hearing this.
On the day of entering the city, there were indeed a lot of people at the city gate, and the city wall was almost full. Among them were many officials who were squeezed in the crowd to watch.
"On the one hand, the emperor invites you, but on the other hand, he closes the city and refuses you. What's the reason behind this?" Ye Qianning asked again when everyone was silent.
"I sincerely invite Mr. Chen to return to Beili. I also truly regret what happened in Sifang Mountain ten years ago. As for the closing of the city gate, I really didn't know." The Emperor of Beili spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty doesn't know. Even if the Fifth Princess insists on having her own way, is it too much for me to ask her to kowtow three times and nine times to beg my family to enter the city?"
Sang Zhi: "Not too much."
“…”
Ye Qianning smiled.
Emperor Beili glanced at Old Chen and Marquis Xiang Ming with a cold expression, which showed his attitude.
Now that the words have been spoken, if you don't follow through, today will not end well.
Prince Changyang and Prince Helian frowned. Although they were somewhat unhappy about this move, they did not say a word in the end.
Today's royal family -
Let’s not mention it!
"Ye Qianning, the emperor has come personally to welcome you into the city, so don't push your luck." Prime Minister Gao scolded angrily.
Ye Qianning glanced at him and said, "Prime Minister Gao, please don't rush to speak out. Let's listen to what His Majesty has to say."
Prime Minister Gao snorted angrily and turned around and called out, "Your Majesty, although the Fifth Princess made mistakes, she is still a princess of the royal family. How can she allow others to humiliate her like this?"
"Women are not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Sang Shu disobeyed the imperial edict, privately mobilized patrol troops, and closed the city gates to refuse distinguished guests from entering the city. This is a serious crime. I will never protect her just because she is a member of the royal family." The Emperor of Beili glanced around and his voice was deep and majestic.
Prime Minister Gao was stunned: "Your Majesty?"
"Someone, bring Sang Shu over here."
The guards escorted Sang Shu forward.
Sang Shu shook her head frantically, her eyes bloodshot and vicious.
"Shu'er, you have to take responsibility for the mistakes you made." Emperor Bei Li stared at her earnestly.
Sang Shu shook her head.
No, she would not kowtow to the man who killed her mother.
Xu Hongwen's eyes were about to burst, and he made a loud grunting sound.
Emperor Beili raised his hand to signal the guards to take out the gag from Xu Hongwen's mouth.
"Your Majesty, Shu'er is a princess. How can she kneel down and kowtow to a stateless person?" When the object in his mouth was taken out, Xu Hongwen immediately roared.
"In fact, this matter is closely related to the Earl's Mansion."
Although Emperor Beili was angry at his daughter's stupidity, he was even more angry at Xu Hongwen, who allowed her to act recklessly and helped her.
