Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Chapter 471 Xu Yuexi Takes Charge

Early in the morning of the second day, the sky had just broken and the morning light shone into the room through the window lattice.

Lou Moyu was still immersed in his dream, showing no signs of waking up.

Xu Yuexi checked his pulse and confirmed that he was getting better, so she fed him another Guyuan Pill. Then she tiptoed away from the bed.

Today will be a crucial "battle" for her. She must show her best side. No one can match her appearance or temperament.

Xu Yuexi came to the dressing table and began to dress herself up carefully. She first put on a delicate makeup, and then put on the gorgeous queen's palace dress.

This palace dress is mainly in gold and red colors, and is embroidered with exquisite phoenix patterns.

Each of these phoenixes is delicately sketched, with distinct feathers, smooth and natural lines, and colorful yet elegant and noble. They are in various poses and lifelike, as if they are about to spread their wings and fly high at any time.

This palace dress fits Xu Yuexi's graceful figure perfectly, perfectly highlighting her graceful curves and elegant temperament.

Xu Yuexi put on the queen's palace dress, tied her belt, adjusted her skirt, and put on the dazzling phoenix crown. When everything was ready, Xu Yuexi smiled at herself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, Xu Yuexi walked out of the bedroom with graceful steps.

Outside the hall, Lin Zining, Lou Yi and a group of servants were already waiting. When they saw Xu Yue coming out, they all hurriedly saluted.

"Wow, mother looks so beautiful today!" Lin Zining took a few steps forward and stood in front of Xu Yuexi, exclaiming.

"Why, isn't mother usually beautiful?" Xu Yuexi joked.

"How could that be! Mother is the most beautiful woman in the world. You are beautiful every day, but you are the most beautiful in your gorgeous dress today!"

Xu Yuexi lowered her head slightly and her eyes fell on Lin Zining.

Today, she was wearing a gorgeous purple brocade dress, the hem of which flowed like flowing clouds, and her hair was piled high, with pearls and jade hairpins inserted in it. Her exquisite makeup made her already beautiful face even more charming, and her beautiful eyes were as clear and bright as autumn water, revealing a noble and elegant temperament.

Lin Zining, dressed in such gorgeous attire, looked like a princess of the royal family.

Looking at the graceful and elegant Lin Zining in front of him, Xu Yuexi couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in her heart.

Time flies by like a white horse. The little baby who was still crying for food in the cradle has now grown into such a charming and graceful young lady.

"You are just sweet-talking! But your outfit today is very nice, quite like a princess. You must pay attention to your image in front of the ministers later, and don't be so careless as usual..."

"Don't worry, mother. I know everything! I promise you that I will never take the first action today!" Before Xu Yuexi could finish her words, Lin Zining stepped forward, took her arm and replied.

"You!"

Xu Yuexi smiled helplessly and nodded Lin Zining's head gently, her eyes full of doting.

This child has really learned her current temper to the fullest, and will fight at the slightest disagreement. However, if you think about it carefully, this is also a good thing. Her child already has this ability, and with her mother's support behind him, he is full of confidence and does not need to be afraid of anyone, let alone act according to other people's moods.

"Let's go. Today, we, mother and daughter, will go and meet those 'monsters' and avenge your father!"

"Okay, mother!"

Lin Zining nodded hurriedly, then took Xu Yuexi's arm and walked towards the court.

The ministers who came to the morning court today were all surprised to see Xu Yuexi and Lin Zining appear in their best attire.

Time flies, but their queen seems to have been forgotten by time. After not seeing her for many years, she still maintains her stunning and charming appearance.

Looking at their Royal Highness, the Crown Princess, she has now grown into a graceful lady. Her skin is as white as snow, her face is like a peach blossom, her eyebrows are as dark as distant black, her eyes are like autumn water, and her lips are red without any makeup. She exudes a noble and elegant temperament in her every move, which is not inferior to her mother, the peerless queen.

However, although these ministers were amazed at Xu Yuexi's appearance, they were very dissatisfied with Xu Yuexi's behavior.

Xu Yuexi came and sat in the seat reserved for the queen next to the dragon throne, and Lin Zining also stood in the seat reserved for the crown princess.

"The emperor is not feeling well today, so I will be in charge of the court. Ministers, if you have anything to say, please come forward. If not, please leave the court."

As soon as Xu Yuexi's cold voice fell, the Minister of Rites stood out.

"Your Majesty, this is against our ancestors' etiquette. Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for women to govern the country!"

Although Lou Moyu had previously stated that Xu Yuexi had the same rights and status as him, when faced with such a situation, how could those high-ranking officials be willing to accept it?

What's more, Xu Yuexi killed a woman two days ago. In today's social environment, women are such a precious resource. No matter what mistakes they make, they should not be put to death!

Furthermore, even though women are precious, their participation in politics has always been considered a taboo in the court.

Although Xu Yuexi's status is so high that it attracts a lot of attention, and her ability is so outstanding that it is rare in the world, she is still a woman after all.

At the beginning, everyone could still tolerate Xu Yuexi's appearance in the court, simply because Lou Moyu was present at the time. The person who truly held the power and dominated the court was Lou Moyu. Therefore, at that time, they could still turn a blind eye and pretend to agree.

But now, something has happened to their emperor, and no one knows the details. Naturally, they will not allow a woman to sit on an equal footing with them and give orders about the country.

Xu Yuexi would not tolerate these shrewd and power-hungry people! She raised her eyes slightly, and her gaze shot towards the Minister of Rites like an icy blade.

"Don't mention ancestral etiquette to me! Since there is no precedent, I will create one!

The Emperor is in poor health now. As the Empress, I, for the sake of the people of this world, would like to take over the administration of state affairs on his behalf. What's wrong with that?

Besides, isn't your Crown Princess here with you? What? Will you oppose your Crown Princess' succession to the throne in the future?"

"Your Highness, you are so different from the Crown Princess!"

"Your Majesty is very capable. If you really care about the people of this world, you should detoxify the emperor and heal him."

"The Crown Princess didn't kill innocent people like the Queen did."

"Women are so precious nowadays. How many men cannot get married and have children? Your Majesty keeps saying that for the sake of the people of the world, you shouldn't just kill the daughter of the Minister of Personnel."

"Not only did Her Majesty kill Lady Jiang, she also imprisoned Lord Jiang's entire family and servants in the Heavenly Prison. Such outrageous behavior is hard for us to believe."

"..."

For a while, the ministers in the court were talking to each other, pointing the finger at Xu Yuexi, questioning and condemning her.
