"It’s nothing, I’ll just say a few words," Yang Ruxin suddenly looked up with a bright smile, "I think, this matter isn’t really a big deal. It’s probably because Wanyan the Crown Prince isn’t interested in Princess of Pingning, but he’s also reluctant to refuse, so he speaks ill of Fangfei and gets cozy with the girl he fancies." She paused, "So, this can be easily resolved. Anyway, outsiders only know that Princess of Pingning is marrying for alliance, but whether this Princess of Pingning is Jiang Fangfei or Xu Huairui, what does it matter?"
"Nonsense!" Emperor Xuanjing suddenly slapped the table, "Do you think anyone can just bee a princess?"
Gu Qingheng saw his wife being reprimanded, and was about to step forward to speak, but was held back by Qi Jingyun beside him, who also shook his head at him.
Yang Ruxin was startled, and quickly put on a bitter face: "You asked me to speak, Your Majesty, so I just voiced my thoughts. I’m just a village girl, you insist on making me an official, where do I get all these ideas? Now that I’ve spoken my mind and you’re unhappy, then I’ll resign." Saying this, she reached into her pocket, took out Madam Ruyi’s token, and was about to hand it over, "People in Beijing change faces faster than flipping a book. Everyone wears a mask to live, it’s exhausting to watch. I’d rather go back to being a village girl and grow radishes for the Empress Dowager."
"Are you threatening me?"
"How would I dare? You wanted me to speak up, and now you want to extinguish my family of nine. Now that I have, you’re angry again. What am I supposed to do?"
"So, this is all my fault?"
"Yes." Yang Ruxin nodded.
"You..." Emperor Xuanjing finally laughed in anger, "You little girl... Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?"
"You just said that as long as I speak my opinions, you won’t kill me," Yang Ruxin spread her hands, "I’ve said it. Your Majesty, you won’t go back on your word."
"Gu Qingheng!" Emperor Xuanjing suddenly called out.
"I’m here!"
"What do you think of what your wife said?"
"I think she made good points."
"What’s good about it?"
"Although Wanyan the Crown Prince isn’t a decent person, you can’t force feelings, right? He must be deeply in love with Miss Xu, and now that she’s about to leave... But since marriage alliance must happen, changing the person to be Princess of Pingning is the only solution..."
Emperor Xuanjing turned to the Crown Prince: "Crown Prince, what do you think?"
"I think Madam Ruyi and General Gu’s words are reasonable," the Crown Prince glanced at Yang Ruxin, then stood up and replied respectfully, "Jin Country doesn’t seem very sincere either."
"What about you all?" Emperor Xuanjing glanced at the others.
"That Xu Huairui’s character isn’t great either, just let her wreak havoc in Jin Country then," Qi Jingyi had a gloating expression, but under the Emperor’s glance, he quickly restrained his smile and lowered his head without speaking.
Emperor Xuanjing said nothing more and instead waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
After leaving the Royal Study Room, Yang Ruxin exhaled, feeling that the experience of entering the palace was getting worse each time, she really disliked it here.
Gu Qingheng came over and held her hand: "Let’s go home." He didn’t even bother to greet the others and walked off directly.
"Gu Qingheng, Xinxin, wait for me," Qi Jingyi, however, chased after them.
But just as they reached the door to their home, they were stopped by someone.
"Sister Xin, save me," Xu Huairui cried, her nose running and tears streaming, and she lunged at Yang Ruxin when she saw her, but was blocked by Chai Qin.
