Chapter 192 How unreasonable
The house that Gofu bought in Mengsha Country was not small, with more than 20 rooms of various sizes, and a garden and backyard. But even so, it was already fully occupied.
The number of servants in the palace, not counting those on duty outside the palace, is about two to three hundred.
Of course, the most crucial thing is the island where the wedding is held. Although the manor there is bigger, as far as she knows, there are not many more rooms than here. She had already planned to let the guards squeeze in and leave the rooms for the guests.
But if all the servants in the mansion came over... there would be no room at all.
The key is that it is a private island, and there is nowhere to book a hotel if you want to.
"That's easy." Yao Niang said, "We can just book a hotel, and take the guests over on the day of the wedding by cruise ship."
She saw that the princess had no objection to everyone coming, so she naturally went along with it.
Ge Fu did not ask whether the domestic business would be affected. At this time, Xiao Yuan should not dare to act rashly. In this case, the impact would be limited. After all, he was only away for three or five days, not three or five months.
but……
"When Grandma Sanjiang comes, let her come with me." Ge Fu ordered.
"Hey!" You Rong said happily, "Grandma will definitely be happy to see the princess."
Ge Fu's heart moved, and he asked, "Come to think of it, Granny Sanjiang is my mother's wet nurse, right?"
"You can't say she was a wet nurse." You Rong said, "I heard my mother talk about it. When she was a child, her hometown suffered a flood. My great-grandparents, my grandfather, my uncle, my grandmother, and my aunt died. Most of the family members died, leaving only my grandmother and my mother to flee to the outskirts of Yaojing and beg for a living. At that time, they met the Duke, and the Duke took my mother and grandmother back. The Duke was only six years old at that time. My grandmother took care of him and raised him, but she can't be considered a wet nurse."
Ge Fu leaned his head on the sofa and asked, "Come to think of it, Grandma Sanjiang must be eighty years old this year, right?"
"Eighty-two." You Rong said, "My mother is the youngest daughter. Her three older sisters all died in the flood."
Ge Fu asked again: "Besides Grandma Sanjiang and You Niang, where are mother's other personal maids?" Those old people should know something about what happened back then.
"Hua Niang was also the Duke's personal maid. As for the others..." You Rong sighed, "Except for the one who is not good at martial arts, the other personal maids followed the Duke to the battlefield and never came back. By the way, Pan Niang's mother was a veteran under the old Duke. After the old Duke died, she began to follow the Duke to fight everywhere and died in the Battle of Dragon City."
Ge Fu asked again: "How many family generals are there like Pan Niang's mother?"
"Of course there are more." You Rong said excitedly, "The Ge family is kind. If a family general has a better development opportunity, they will release their family members and let them lead the troops on their own. At least a dozen generals in the military are from the Ge family. On weekdays, they dare not have too close contact with the Ge family, but they all have relatives and friends in the Ge Mansion, and their loyalty to the mansion is beyond doubt."
She didn't know why, maybe because of that person's backstabbing, the princess seemed to be suspicious of these old friends and didn't trust them very much in the past few years. If there was a chance, she would naturally persuade them.
Is that so.
Ge Fu sighed in her heart, and it was no wonder that she was paranoid, because Xiao Yuan was her original body's aunt.
You Rong sighed and said, "It's because you, the princess, didn't become an emotionalist and didn't go to the battlefield. Otherwise, according to past practice, when the young master of the mansion grows up and the elders are no longer around, the family generals who have gone out will come back to assist you."
Ge Fu looked indifferent. What was there to lament about something that had not happened?
At this time, Xiao Chen took Zhuang Min to get the marriage certificate. After receiving it, he took a photo and posted it on Weibo and Moments very smoothly.
Naturally, the upper layer of Hengyang was detonated again.
In fact, after Xiao Chen came out publicly, there were many opinions about him in the court. Some people thought that he brought shame to the royal family, while others despised him because of his sexual orientation.
However, none of this can compare to the impact caused by him going to Mengsha Country to get a marriage certificate, especially after major foreign media outlets reposted his Weibo.
There were even ministers who impeached Xiao Chen during the court session, believing that he should be stripped of his title of Prince Hui.
This was still polite. Some ministers even thought that Xiao Chen should be removed from the royal family and demoted to a commoner.
Xiao Yuan, sitting high on the throne, was so angry that he was shaking all over. How dare you?
At the beginning, Xiao Chun was determined to marry Wei Xiao. The court officials had their objections, but no one dared to say a word to the queen mother.
After all, aren't these people looking down on her? Are they not loyal enough to her?
Xiao Yuan was also angry with her son, but she couldn't bear to watch him lose his title, let alone be demoted to a commoner. Therefore, she winked at several civil servants she supported, wanting them to speak up for Xiao Chen.
However, those civil servants looked at each other, but were unwilling to stand up.
It's not that they are disloyal to Xiao Yuan, but Xiao Chen's behavior was really reckless and disrespectful to the state. If they openly stand on his side, the emperor will be satisfied, but other ministers will definitely have opinions about them.
Your reputation to the outside world will also make people say that you are a flatterer.
No matter how powerful the emperor was, he did not have the final say on the promotion of officials. They were only fourth-rank officials and did not have the confidence to be unafraid of what others said.
It’s not that Xiao Yuan can’t guess their little thoughts, but it’s precisely because he guessed them that he thinks they are unfaithful.
——She took great pains to promote them. Was it just to make them high-ranking officials instead of helping her share her worries?
Being such a selfish subordinate and unwilling to share the worries of the king, what is the difference between this and being disloyal?
But now is not the time to argue with them. The most urgent task is to deal with these ministers who are unwilling to give in. But even the ministers he supported are unwilling to speak for the emperor, and the others...
Just as he was thinking this, a general stood up from his seat, stepped forward and said, "You all are a little too serious. After all, the eldest prince is only a prince, not a princess. As long as it's not the heir who did this, it's not a big problem. Don't foreign countries always mock us for having no human rights? Now is a good time for the eldest prince to set an example and let them see the human rights in Hengyang."
This... is actually very illogical. However, the general who came forward was originally from the Ge family. The fact that she could stand up shows that... I understand. Princess Hengyang has had disagreements with His Majesty, but she is on good terms with the eldest prince. Don't involve him in any problems.
——Originally, the ministers were just taking advantage of the situation. His Majesty's recent words and deeds have been somewhat inappropriate, and as ministers, they couldn't point it out directly, so they had to bring up the eldest prince.
But now that Princess Hengyang has expressed her position, we have to give her some face.
Xiao Yuan didn't know what they were thinking. Seeing this, he felt that his reputation among the ministers was not as good as that of a military general. It was simply...
Outrageous!
