"Who said Mo'er wants to get married?"
Gong Cheng said in a deep voice. His words made everyone completely quiet down.

"You don't have to wear mourning clothes! Aijia wants you to help Aijia and send Yan'er off, isn't it too much? You can't even refuse such a small thing, what kind of royal are you? What Princess Rongji? "
In the end, it was GongYimo's title and status that got in her way.
She wanted to use the matter of sending Yan'er off to provoke GongYimo. Sending off a funeral was actually similar to preparing for a funeral. Although there was no need to wear mourning clothes, she had to be responsible for receiving people and guarding the corpse for seven days and seven nights. Only when the funeral procession arrived and sent Yan'er off to rest would her task be considered complete.
So as long as GongYimo agreed, she would definitely be able to catch her fault in such a long time! At that time, she would force her to give up her title! Otherwise, how could she take this lying down?!
"What if I refuse?" GongYimo stood at the entrance of the hall and asked coldly.
"You're not willing to help even when Aijia is begging you like this. What else can I count on you in the future? You'd better quickly write a confession and admit that you're not worthy of the Emperor's reward. Otherwise, Aijia will let the whole world know that you're an unfilial and disloyal rebellious daughter! "

The Emperor's words stunned the ministers. Not getting married? What kind of princess would not get married?
Seeing their shocked expressions, Gong Cheng laughed instead.
"Mo'er is talented and intelligent. She has a sharp weapon and outstanding talent. Why should Aijia marry her off? Moreover, Mo'er personally swore before Aijia that she would never get married! Therefore, Aijia gave her this title to compensate her. What else do you have to say? "
Seeing that everyone was silent, Gong Cheng continued, "In terms of martial arts talent, wisdom and strategy, which part of Mo'er is inferior to a man? Moreover, she has contributed to the country, so why can't she be rewarded? "
The more he spoke, the more reasonable he felt. "Aijia is not treating her as the Crown Princess, but as a son. Why can't a capable son be put in an important position?"
Someone hesitated for a while before asking in a low voice, "Is the princess going to have no children because of this?"
The Emperor was stumped by the question. This was the first time he had considered this question.
After a while, he suddenly said, "Since Zhen's son can marry and take concubines, and Zhen's princess has sacrificed so much for the country, why can't she have a male pet?"
The Emperor's words shocked the entire imperial court! If not for the fact that Gong Dai was busy with the matters of the bank and did not attend court, if not for the fact that the Crown Prince was still at Huai River, just this sentence alone was enough to turn the heavens upside down!

GongYimo had a headache because of the Empress Dowager. In the past, there were indeed princesses who took care of the trivial matters of the harem, but that was when the Empress was sick or the princess was very old. The Empress Dowager was like this. Even if she had no reason, she had to be reasonable. It really gave GongYimo a headache.
Empress Dowager seemed to know that GongYimo wouldn't give in, but she still wanted to force GongYimo, so she sneered.
"It's fine if you don't want to send Yan 'er to her funeral! Aijia will pretend that I don't have a granddaughter like you, but … Yan 'er loved Gong Dai for a long time when she was alive. Yan' er listens to you the most. As long as you can persuade Yan 'er to send her spirit, Aijia … will let you go! "
When Empress Dowager said this, there was some sincerity. In the past, when people like Long Hanyan had no direct relatives, when they were sent to the mausoleum, it was usually the husband who sent the spirit. For those who were not married, there were also some who let their brothers do it, but it was never Gong Dai's turn!
So when Empress Dowager finally made this request, it could be considered as her last attempt to make things difficult and compromise.
Since she couldn't take down GongYimo now, she could only think of another way. And Gong Dai sending the spirit, it could be considered as fulfilling Yan 'er's last wish. So, it seemed that there was still some compassion.
But these words made GongYimo a little unacceptable, "If I don't send Long Hanyan to her funeral, you want me to persuade Gong Dai to send her spirit?"
Empress Dowager sneered, "What, you can't even do this? No matter what, Yan 'er is still you and Gong Dai's cousin. You have the obligation to send her on her last journey. If you can't even do this, what qualifications do you have to be the Princess of Rongguo? So cold-blooded, aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world?! "
This was also her last request. If GongYimo couldn't even do this, then she didn't give her face. Originally, she didn't want to mention this, because although Gong Dai had the obligation to send Long Hanyan on her last journey, he was definitely not the one who sent the spirit. He could only be regarded as a guest accompanying.
But when she thought of how much Long Hanyan liked Gong Dai, Empress Dowager couldn't swallow this breath. She had to use this matter to make things difficult for GongYimo!
GongYimo suddenly smiled. She took out a bottle of wine from her arms and drank a mouthful!
In fact, her best choice now was to agree to Empress Dowager's request. Because she had just been conferred the title and hadn't held the title hall yet. It was not suitable to cause any trouble. Enduring and retreating was the best choice.
Besides, letting Gong Dai send the spirit to Long Hanyan was not a loss to him. She could also temporarily let Empress Dowager keep the peace. They could compete in the future!
But when she thought that people who didn't know the inside story would think that Gong Dai was Long Hanyan's husband or close relative, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart!
It was obvious that she wanted to kill her, but she was killed instead. She could only say that she asked for it! Why did she have to swallow this breath?
GongYimo couldn't figure it out.
At this time, Empress Dowager could no longer bear it! She had already retreated to this point, could it be that GongYimo still wanted to refuse?!
"GongYimo, don't be too unappreciative! You still have to marry in the future. Whether you're sent out for peace or married to an official's son, Aijia has a say in it! "
Since she couldn't beat her in martial arts, she could use her power to oppress her. Without an absolute reason, the Emperor would definitely support her. Only marriage could control her! Otherwise, she would turn the sky upside down!
She wanted to see how GongYimo would choose. If she really offended her, she would marry her to an ignorant and incompetent domineering son, or directly send her to a small country to marry an old man!
The more she thought about it, the more pleased she became. She asked, "Have you thought about what to choose? Are you going to personally send Yan 'er to the funeral or let Mo' er send the spirit to Yan 'er? "
A ray of light flashed across GongYimo's eyes as she slowly said.
"I'm going to send her to the funeral."
Her tone was a little strange. Empress Dowager wanted to laugh complacently and say a few sarcastic words.
But she saw GongYimo tilting the wine bag in her hand and pouring all the wine on Long Hanyan's body!
What was she doing?!
Just when Empress Dowager didn't understand what was going on, GongYimo lowered her head to look at Long Hanyan's body and a ray of light flashed across her eyes.
She directly took out a match and threw it. In just a moment! The flame rushed up! Everyone at the scene was scared silly!
Luckily, Empress Dowager had cushioned Long Hanyan's body with so much silk. When it came into contact with the fire, Long Hanyan's figure was instantly surrounded by the flame. In this kind of winter, it burned into their hearts!
Was GongYimo crazy?!
She actually burned Long Hanyan's body in front of her own palace! One had to know that in ancient times, it was a taboo to not be buried in peace!
And Dai Yu state had existed for so long … no, no, let's not talk about Dai Yu state! Throughout history, they had never seen anyone as terrifying as GongYimo!
She must be crazy!!
