After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

"Wuwuwu, Father..."

"Father, I am deeply distressed!"

The ones who cried were the emperor's daughters. The emperor's sisters were elders after all, and they couldn't cry in front of the younger generation. They could only kneel before the emperor with a sad face and pray.

"Brother, please make the decision!"

All the princesses who came here today were deeply hurt. They had all been in love with their husbands-in-law, but were eventually alienated by the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, until they gradually drifted apart.

In fact, almost all the princesses' houses had received the news sent by Shen Mufeng. However, the only ones who really risked their lives to come to the palace to file a complaint were this group of pitiful people who were desperate.

These old princesses don't even know what they are doing? Now the days have long passed like a pool of stagnant water, and the couples are almost strangers.

But they just wanted to come and give encouragement to their nieces, or perhaps to help themselves who once shed tears until dawn?

Prince Cheng's expression was already quite ugly.

"Your Majesty, you cannot believe one side's words. This rule was set by the ancestors of the Pei family, and it must be for the sake of future generations. If you rashly remove the etiquette master of the princess's mansion, if something like what happened in the previous dynasty happens in the future, and the prince consort bullies the princess in private, what should we do then?"

The emperor turned the rosary in his hand. He certainly knew what the clan leader wanted to say.

When Taizu formulated the ancestral etiquette, why did he allow the princess's mansion to have a master of ceremonies? It was because of a heinous incident in the previous dynasty, where a royal princess was beaten to death by a consort from an aristocratic family!

This strange story, which sounds like a fairy tale, is actually recorded in the historical facts of the original family. So behind every strange rule, there must be a strange thing that happened.

"You all should get up first and stop crying. Let's talk it over. How can a princess burst into tears like this?"

After waking up everyone, Emperor Yanping sighed and began to make decisions for these girls from the Pei family.

"Uncle, what you said does make some sense, but this is a different time.

It’s true that our ancestors had good intentions at the beginning, but now my sister and daughters are suffering greatly from their actions. Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?

Sometimes there are some inappropriate rules, and I think it is better to waive them. What do you think, clan leader?"

While he was talking, he looked at the silly little kid who clearly didn't understand but was pretending to nod. The funny little hairs on the kid's head were shaking in a particularly funny way, attracting a lot of attention.

In fact, this was a misunderstanding. Chu Daidai was not shaking her head to make her father laugh. She was just anxious because she didn't understand what she was eating. These people were crying and talking back and forth, which was really exciting. It would be even better if Daidai could understand!

As a qualified spectator, she must keep the purpose in mind and not interrupt others casually. Moreover, before entering the palace, Shen Xiaowu specifically told her that she could only speak when the emperor asked her. If not, she should just squat aside and watch, quietly and not make trouble.

Mr. Chu was a man of rules, and he would do what he promised. So even though she was as anxious as a cat, she still squatted aside with her mouth tightly shut. But her big eyes were so busy that they kept rolling around the room.

Prince Cheng didn't have the time to see what a silly princess was thinking. He only knew that the ancestral etiquette and laws could not be changed recklessly. Otherwise, the emperor would change one thing today and another tomorrow, and let him have the final say. Then what was the need for their clan affairs office to exist?

"I know what Your Majesty said is reasonable, but how can the ancestral etiquette and laws be easily abolished? Every rule is made because there must be a reason behind it. If you act rashly, will it affect the whole body?"

Such alarmist remarks made the emperor's expression completely cold. He turned his eyes back to Prince Cheng and asked directly.

"Zongren Ling, those etiquette masters dared to use the ancestral etiquette to control the princess. It is impossible that your Zongren Mansion did not get any wind of it? How come I have never heard you say a word in all these years?"

Prince Cheng was speechless. He couldn't possibly lie to the emperor and say he knew nothing. Then the emperor had to ask him what he, the clan leader, was doing.

As the head of the family, his responsibility is to restrain the royal family members from doing anything wrong and to maintain the royal dignity of the Pei family. A small matter like whether the princess will be lonely in the boudoir is not worth mentioning. If it really doesn't work, you can just keep a lover in private. It's not like there are no princesses who do this. Why is it worth it for you to be so wronged?

Prince Cheng really couldn't figure it out, but he could only sigh several times in his heart, and on his face he blamed himself very sincerely and admitted his mistakes.

"This is my negligence. I will keep it in mind in the future. I will..."

"Father!"

The bold Princess Fukang spoke up and interrupted the old man's nonsense.

"Since I am here today, I must demand a result. I don't need the clan leader to come back and do something. I want him to give a clear answer now. These etiquette aunts must be removed! Otherwise, I will hang myself in the clan mansion..."

"Nonsense!"

The emperor slapped the armrest of the dragon throne in anger.

"You are a princess, but now you have learned the tricks of crying, making a fuss and threatening to hang yourself from common women? It is obvious that you have been corrupted by those etiquette masters. I think those people are really unnecessary."

The emperor was very cunning. He used the opportunity of scolding his daughter to shut Prince Cheng's mouth and quickly resolve the issue.

"Uncle, there is no need to persuade me. I know that you have been working hard to discipline and teach the royal family members over the years. It is normal for you to be a little careless. I will not vent my anger on you. But those etiquette masters who dared to teach my daughter bad things must be punished!"

He turned around and greeted outside.

"Somebody come!"

The diligent Chief Steward Wei appeared immediately.

"The slave is here."

"Go and ask someone to draft an edict. From today on, abolish the post of Master of Ceremonies in the Princess's Mansion. Before those etiquette aunts return to the clan house, I will investigate them thoroughly. Anyone who dares to blatantly oppress the princess will be beaten to death!"

The emperor was still the petty emperor. It was his own business that he looked down on the fourth girl's lazy nature. When did it become someone else's turn to bully her? They simply didn't take him, the emperor, seriously.

"Thank you for your mercy, Father!"

"Wow, thank you, father!"

"Thank you, my brother."

The princesses cried with joy and knelt down again to kowtow and thank the emperor. The emperor looked at them, sighed, and added a few more words.

"Also, how the princesses live their lives behind closed doors after they get married is their own business, and no one else is allowed to interfere in the future. Did you hear the clan order?"

The king's words were final, and many people were destined to lose their lives. Even if Prince Cheng had something to refute, it all disappeared under the emperor's cold eyes.

This nephew is not a soft persimmon. Over the years, he has never been reluctant to take action against high-ranking families, royal relatives, or even his own son. Prince Cheng does not think that he will show any mercy to his fourth uncle.

That's it, that's it.

The most important thing in life is to recognize your position and not to seek trouble. Only in this way can you live a stable and long life.

Prince Cheng knelt on the ground respectfully.

"Sir, obey the order."
