Chapter 167 Impeachment (38

The person who opposed it most fiercely turned out to be Prince Duan's mother-in-law, Censor Lin Qingxuan. She acted neither humble nor arrogant in the court.

He actually said that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty had been empty for a long time, and the Sixth Princess, oh, should be His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, was already overbearing and domineering. She just went out of the palace to set up a mansion on such a large scale. The scale of the mansion was even more extraordinary than that of the Crown Princess. She was so extravagant that she was simply unworthy of being the Prince of Qin of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Her Majesty the Queen was immediately furious when she heard this and reprimanded Lin Qingxuan on the spot.

The entire court suddenly became quiet, and no one dared to breathe.

And Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, who was closest to her, got the Queen's look and understood what she meant.

She stepped forward and said, "Isn't it possible that Censor Lin has forgotten? This is no longer the previous dynasty. The treasury is now full and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Moreover, all the regulations for the King of Qin to leave the palace and set up a government office were agreed upon by me and my mother, and were not a request made by the King of Qin himself."

"Could it be that Censor Lin thinks that the Queen Mother's rule is useless? Or does he think something else?"

When such a huge hat was put on, all the civil and military officials knelt down.

Lin Qingxuan knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down her forehead. She had never thought that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin could be so favored. Even the Crown Princess and her own Prince Duan had not been so favored.

Chu Chenning, eating his own melon, stood quietly by.

She seldom attended court, but she did not expect that she would be impeached by the censors. They really thought she was dead.

Chu Chenning smiled, then bowed and said, "My mother and my sister are very thoughtful. Don't be angry. This mansion is too big and not very convenient. Why don't we compromise and expand the mansion that my mother gave to Aning? This way, we don't have to argue anymore. Otherwise, if we kneel for too long, our knees will hurt like Aning."

Chu Chenning has always had a stubborn temper. She had been angry with the Queen before and was punished to kneel for three hours. She refused to bow her head and knelt for such a long time without saying a word, and her knees were injured afterwards.

From then on, Her Majesty the Queen never asked Chu Chenning to kneel again.

"Your Highness the current Prince of Qin has just expanded his original residence after leaving the palace. How can you save the Ming imperial family's reputation? Have you made all the efforts of me and Yue'er go to waste?!"

Although Her Majesty the Queen on the dragon throne spoke in a calm tone, the people kneeling in the court could still feel her anger.

"A Ning doesn't dare, so we'll do as our mother and sister wish. However, the amount of money in the Yuqiong Garden mansion will be reduced, and the rest of the extra money can be supplemented from A Ning's private treasury, okay?"

Chu Chenning gave Her Majesty the Queen a flattering smile and blinked his peach blossom eyes. "Don't be angry, Queen Mother. This matter can still be discussed. If you mobilize such a large force, you will definitely be scolded."

"Well, it's approved. The small Yuqiong Garden will be used, and the Ministry of Industry will make some minor modifications to the other ones according to the original regulations."

Seeing Chu Chenning was about to kneel down, Her Majesty leaned lazily on the back of the chair, tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with her fingertips, and scolded with a smile: "How much can your private treasury have? Yue'er and I will make up for the extra."

Chu Chenning knew from the tone that her mother was not angry, so she did not hesitate to kneel down and bowed, "A Ning will obey the mother's order."

"Get up."

"Yes." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin had not come forward to rescue them, given the Queen's angry look, they didn't know how long they would have to kneel.
