Shangguan Zimeng was relieved to hear her voice, as if it were a long-awaited rain. "My husband just brought me here to enjoy the scenery, but the emperor summoned him away, so I stayed here to wait for him."

When the daughters saw Min Ran, they also bowed respectfully: "Princess."

Min Ran responded symbolically, and then said to them: "You guys go shopping, Sister Zimeng and I are going to the Queen Mother."

"Yes."

Shangguan Zimeng waited for them to leave and asked, "Aren't we going there after the celebration is over? Is it in accordance with the rules to go at this time?"

She didn't know why she became so cautious, perhaps it was affected by what happened a few days ago.

"Sister, don't you always dislike these rules? Why do you care so much today?" Min Ran thought of her life experience and what happened a few days ago, and said like a little adult: "Sister, don't be nervous. Coming here is like coming home. Don't worry about the looks of those people. They just have nothing better to do and are deliberately looking for trouble."

Shangguan Zimeng nodded. She had to admit that to attend such a large-scale celebration, she must have a royal know-it-all like Min Ran by her side, otherwise she would not be able to move forward.

Her nervous state today was totally inconsistent with her usual carefree personality. In fact, there was a reason for it.

A few days ago, she went to a gambling house with the prince. She was seen by an imperial censor on the way and he joined forces with a group of other censors to start criticizing her.

The content was extremely harsh and offensive, saying that he was immoral and corrupt, and that he was just a small-time assassin who could not enter the upper class. He relied on his looks to seduce the pillars of the court, which was really a misfortune for the country. What's worse, some people pointed the finger at the prince, saying that he was willing to degenerate and did not care about the country...

And so on and so forth.

When the emperor saw this, he was furious. Recalling the queen's experience in the past, there was also a group of fearless people who wrote letters to the emperor, criticizing the queen based on her background and status. At the worst, more than a hundred officials from the capital knelt at the door and forced him not to make her queen.

If it weren't for the support of the prince and Minister Min, there would have been bloodshed.

Now, the past scene reappeared on the princess, and he could not bear it. He immediately ordered to severely punish several ringleaders. Then he handed all the memorials to Yan Kaiyu and gave him the privilege to kill those who should be killed and sentence those who should be sentenced without mercy.

These people just give him face and live too comfortably.

Yan Kaiyu read one book after another, and became angrier and angrier. His dark eyes were like an abyss, which made people afraid.

He really felt that these people had had enough of living and had nothing better to do, so they actually dared to cause trouble for the palace.

He was afraid that his beloved concubine would be sad after seeing these, so he threw these treasonous words into the fire himself. However, there is always a loophole in a perfect precaution, and such a big thing could not be concealed, and was eventually discovered by Shangguan Zimeng.

She was indeed very sad at the time, but she was also very strong and rational. It was not surprising that such a thing happened to her. This was the duty of the ancient censors. Even though it sounded unpleasant, she had nothing to say.

She just felt that even if they were all killed, it would not help, and would only make those who were still alive panic and no longer dare to speak up. If that were the case, then the gains would not outweigh the losses. Compared with such a major national event, what would it matter if an individual suffered such a small grievance?

So, when Yan Kaiyu was about to arrest them according to the list, she stopped him, and after some earnest persuasion, she successfully persuaded him to return to the mansion.

He felt sorry for her and said, "My dear, you are so considerate, but others may not appreciate your kindness."

Shangguan Zimeng smiled and held his hand, saying, "Husband, it's good to be with you. I don't need them to appreciate it."

"Silly girl."

Later, the matter was resolved well. Prime Minister Min was also annoyed by these people's gossip, so he beat them with a stick, deducted their silver, and issued a notice, writing down what the princess said and did after the incident, praising the princess's open-mindedness and tolerance.

Some highly conscious censors felt very guilty, thinking that they had ignored the words of the sages and had said such outrageous words. So they knelt at the gate of the palace to ask for forgiveness.

When Shangguan Zimeng saw the scene at the door, she felt incredible. She comforted them and sent them back.

She looked at the backs of the imperial censors whose injuries had not yet healed, and said with emotion: "Today, I finally understand what it means for a real man in ancient times to be able to bend and stretch."

Yan Kaiyu leaned over to her ear and whispered, "A real man should be like me. I will never show mercy to outsiders, but I will always be submissive in front of you."

She pinched his ear and said, "Go to hell, you just enjoy bullying me."

He smiled and said jokingly: "My beloved, come to think of it, I haven't bullied you for several days, otherwise..."

"No!"

She knew what he was thinking and felt it was very straightforward.

Yan Kaiyu said relentlessly: "You don't? You wish. I will bully you tonight no matter what."

"You wish."

"I just think of beauty, and you are beautiful."

"..."

As night fell, she couldn't escape being bullied by him.
