Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Chapter 429 1 Rebellious, Just Deserve a Punishment

They were all old hands in the officialdom. Even if they were stupid, they now understood the deep meaning behind the three conditions set by Xu Yuexi. That cup was obviously the warning from the Queen Mother to them!

"Empress, my son is ugly, incompetent, and weak. He is a far cry from what you asked of me! I am guilty. I shouldn't have lied to you. I hope you will forgive me!"

"Your Majesty, we were foolish. We know we were wrong. We hope Your Majesty will show mercy and not hold it against fools like us!"

"..."

The ministers kneeling on the ground were all terrified, and they tremblingly apologized to Xu Yuexi who was sitting on the dragon throne.

How proud they were at the beginning, how much they regret now.

The corners of Xu Yuexi's mouth slightly raised, outlining an arc that seemed like a smile, and a hint of coldness flashed in her beautiful eyes. She looked down at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

Humph! A bunch of old foxes, relying on their high positions, power and seniority, they looked down on everyone and didn't take her seriously. Now they are afraid when they meet a tough guy?

It really proves the old saying - the stronger the fist, the more truth there is!

Only when you are strong yourself can you truly make others respect you!

Some people are just so mean. If you give them some color, they will start to act arrogantly. However, when they find out how powerful you are, they will be afraid and submissive, and fawn on you.

Look, she just showed off her skills and these people were so scared that they looked like eggplants wilted by frost. There was no trace of the arrogant and domineering look they had at the beginning.

Humph! How dare you set your sights on her harem at her coronation banquet? Don't you even consider whether you are worthy enough?

If she hadn't considered that Qianmo had just ascended the throne and his foundation was not yet stable, she would not have used such a roundabout way to warn them. She would have taken direct action and taught these ignorant people a lesson they would never forget, so that they would thoroughly understand why the flowers could bloom so red.

"Okay, ministers, rest assured. I am a very reasonable person. How could I possibly punish you?

It’s just that I hope that all the ministers will abide by their duties, do their jobs well, and assist the emperor well in the future, and don’t dream of things that don’t belong to you. After all, if you do something, you might lose your life. Do you understand, ministers?"

Xu Yuexi smiled at everyone, her smile was as bright and dazzling as the sun. But the words that came out of her mouth were like frost in the cold winter, making the ministers shudder and feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar.

Her Majesty is threatening them!

The ministers kowtowed and shouted in unison: "We will follow the instructions of the Empress and will assist the Emperor with all our heart."

Xu Yuexi nodded with satisfaction and waved her hand gently to signal them to leave.

However, before the ministers could leave, a young official in the corner pointed at Xu Yuexi on the high seat with anger and shouted:

"Empress, you are just a princess from another country. How dare you threaten our first-rank ministers in the court of our Lieyan Nation? How can this be disgraceful!

Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, are you just going to turn a blind eye to this and let it go? Where is your dragon power?"

The entire court fell into silence. Everyone was stunned by the official's sudden outburst and turned their eyes to Lou Moyu and Xu Yuexi.

Lou Moyu's expression suddenly changed.

"Zhong Yi, you are so outrageous!"

"Your Majesty, I am insolent, but I learned that from you. As soon as you returned to the country, you ruthlessly seized the throne of the retired emperor. It would have been fine if you had ascended the throne yourself, but you actually let a woman stand shoulder to shoulder with you and be on an equal footing with you. Is she worthy of it?

Even if she did have some talent, so what? Since ancient times, a woman's duty has been to take care of her husband and children at home, and to manage household chores, and not to get involved in court affairs!

The Queen is pregnant, but instead of staying in the harem to take care of the baby, she comes out here to speak nonsense and threaten our important officials. Isn't she afraid that she might accidentally harm the heir in her belly?"

At this moment, the smile on Xu Yuexi's face that was as bright as a spring flower disappeared instantly. She raised her jade hand lightly, and a dazzling spiritual power shot out from her hand and whizzed straight towards Zhong Yi.

There was a loud "bang" and Zhong Yi, who was hit by the spiritual power, flew backwards several meters and hit a thick pillar not far away. Then he slid down the pillar and fell to the ground in a mess.

"Yuer, don't be angry, I will deal with him." Lou Moyu said as he gently patted Xu Yuexi's shoulder.

"No, I want to do it myself. But, will you..."

"No." Lou Moyu guessed what Xu Yuexi wanted to say, and replied before she could speak: "I said that we will govern my country together, so no matter what decision you make, I will support it.

Since Yue'er wants to handle it personally, then I'll leave it to you. You don't have to worry about anything, just do it boldly. After all, some people are rebellious and really need to be taught a lesson before they can learn to be obedient. "

At this point, Lou Moyu's eyes became sharp. He dared to insult his wife like this, he was simply tired of living.

It's time to teach those ignorant people a lesson, and it's time to let everyone know how miserable the consequences of offending his wife will be. If it's not miserable enough, he will make it worse.

With Lou Moyu's support, Xu Yuexi raised her eyebrows, opened her eyes wide, and stared at Zhong Yi with anger on her face. She opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was as cold as a spring:

"You can insult me, but you must never curse my child! Since you have the guts to curse me, you must be prepared to endure my wrath!"

As he spoke, Xu Yuexi once again swung a stream of spiritual power towards Zhong Yi. A mouthful of scarlet blood spurted out of Zhong Yi's mouth, forming a blood mist in the air, which looked shocking.

At this time, Zhong Yi's face was pale, his breath was dying, and his whole body was shaking. He looked at Xu Yuexi in horror, not daring to breathe. She, she is a demon, how could she be so powerful! Now he regretted it to death. If he had known this, he should not have listened to the words of the emperor.

However, Xu Yuexi's gaze did not linger on him for long, but slowly swept across the ministers present.

Her eyes were like sharp arrows. Wherever they went, the ministers lowered their heads unconsciously, not daring to look at her.

Xu Yuexi raised her chin slightly and said proudly: "If anyone here is dissatisfied with me today, just stand up for me! I want to see who is so brave that he is not afraid of death."

She was not afraid of covert threats, so she would come openly. If anyone did not obey, she would beat him until he obeyed.

For a moment, the entire banquet was in complete silence, and you could hear a pin drop.
