Eunuch's Favor: The ever-changing princess flirts with the governor

Chapter 276 Presumptuous

After these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

The eyes of the people in Dugong's group immediately became sharp.

Li Mingshan looked at the woman coldly. Even if she was used by her husband, she dared to come out. Then...

As for the remaining people in the hall, no matter whether they were watching the show or had bad intentions, almost all of them had their eyes on Xiao Tu.

They were all quietly waiting to see how this newly-appointed Lady of the Nation would answer the question of how she dared to occupy a high position despite having no talent or virtue.

In everyone's sight, Xiao Tu, who was sitting alone on the high seat, had no anger on her face when she heard this. She just looked at the official woman who was pushed out and stared at her with contempt. She smiled a little deeper with her beautiful red lips and said, "Madam, do you see clearly where this is? Have you shaken your brain? How dare you talk to me like this?"

The woman's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She looked around blankly and shrank back in fear at the cold gazes of countless officials.

Her husband beside her immediately held her hand and then gave her a look of encouragement.

Seeing this, the woman's fear eased a little, and then she stared at Xiao Tu again and said, "Madam Dugong hasn't answered my other questions yet?"

At this moment, someone in the hall stood up and shouted, "How dare you, a woman from the inner house who is the fifth rank official in the Ministry of Rites, who doesn't even have a title, question the first rank official who is guarding the country in front of all the civil and military officials in the hall? You have no respect for the inferiors, you deserve a slap in the face!"

Seeing this, the woman panicked and immediately looked at her husband.

The latter immediately said, "Why are you so angry, Lord Yu? I am an ignorant woman, and I just asked out of curiosity. I definitely didn't mean to offend Madam Xiao!"

As soon as the words fell, someone came out to help, "Master Wang is right. Madam Wang just made an unintentional mistake. Why is Master Yu so fierce and vicious?"

The Supervisor Party was dismissive. "What do you mean by unintentional mistake? It's clearly a malicious act. Aren't you the Ministry of Rites who always like to use rules to make things happen? How come it's an unintentional mistake when it happens to me?"

"Yes, the court has strict rules and regulations. She is so outspoken and doesn't distinguish between the superior and the inferior. She is a lady of the court. She must be severely punished."

The left prime minister looked at the Dugong party who were eager to defend him, and sneered, "Why are you so anxious, sirs? It's just a woman's rude and curious words. Is it worth it for you sirs to hold on to it so tightly?"

As he said this, he smiled with contempt, "Or do you all know in your hearts that this high position that was obtained without proper reason is hard to convince the public, so you are so anxious to come out and ask for silence?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in Dugong's group stared at him with gloomy eyes.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, what you said is wrong. The Emperor himself issued an edict to confer the title of Lady of the Nation. How come you say it is not legitimate?"

When Zuo Xiang heard the familiar laughing voice, he turned around and saw Ji Qinghe's smiling face.

When Zuo Xiang saw this, his face suddenly became extremely ugly. Ji Qinghe, this smiling tiger, would actually speak for Xiao Tu?

Just as he was thinking this, he saw General Qu from the military faction, accompanied by a young couple, Qu Chengyi and Xu Chenghuan, who also asked with a half-smile, "Are you questioning the emperor's decree, Left Prime Minister?"

The Dali Temple Minister, who never participated in the fight between the two factions, also spoke in a calm voice, "Since the Left Prime Minister knows that his words are rude, he should also know the difference between the superior and the inferior. According to the Dazhao law, if the inferior offends the superior, he shall be caned thirty times."

The left prime minister looked at the two in disbelief, his expression was extremely interesting, how could these two people...
