Chapter 333 Impeachment
Zheng Sisi smiled, leaned forward and asked, "Excuse me, Princess Jiaoyang, do I need it? Others may not have brains, but I still have two pounds." Zheng Sisi pointed her finger at her head, stood up straight, and let you imagine.
Zheng Sisi added, "Princess Jiaoyang, I am not the one who spread the rumors, and I am not the one who refused to sell you vegetables, so you cannot solve the problem by coming to me. You have offended the common people, and you should go to them and apologize to them instead of looking for trouble with me. I have guests to entertain, so I will not accompany you. Goodbye, I won't see you off."
Zheng Sisi then said to the people watching the excitement: "It's just a small misunderstanding. I hope everyone can treat it rationally. Thank you!"
Then he turned around, helped up Old Madam Zheng, and led the people into the county lady's mansion. After all the servants went in, they closed the back door, which made a "bang" sound, which woke everyone up. Everyone then realized that County Lady Anping really left after saying a few words, and did not take Princess Jiaoyang's shouting seriously at all.
Seeing that there was no more excitement, everyone left, leaving only Princess Jiaoyang and her maids and guards behind.
Princess Jiaoyang came with great momentum but returned in defeat. After returning, she had a big tantrum, but still could not solve the problem of buying vegetables for the Grand Princess's mansion.
After this incident, the merchants were even more determined not to sell vegetables to the Grand Princess's Mansion.
The Grand Princess did not expect that there would be a follow-up to this matter.
By the time Sheng Zhen and his companions received the message and rushed back to the County Lord's Mansion, everything had settled and there was no one at the door.
Sheng Zhen came back to support him, but Zheng Sisi comforted him: "Don't worry, we don't need to care about such brainless people, we just need to live our own lives."
Sheng Zhen was comforted by the "we" that Zheng Sisi mentioned, so he did not interfere in the matter. They ate and drank as usual, without being affected at all.
Zhong Ruiyu still sent someone to inquire, and came back to tell everyone, but everyone just treated it as a joke.
After the people from each mansion came back to see the excitement, they spread the news and finally told the masters of each mansion about it. Now Zheng Sisi is a favorite of the emperor, and the ministers are paying close attention to her.
No one knows what the eldest princess is thinking. Maybe she has a strong sense of superiority, so she messes with someone who is not afraid of anything.
Censor Cao has been keeping an eye on Zheng Sisi's movements since his brother's letter. Now, when he heard that Princess Jiaoyang was cursing at the gate of County Lord Anping, he immediately sent people out to investigate. After getting the results, he wrote a memorial and would submit it to the emperor at the morning court tomorrow.
Madam Zheng also sent someone back to the Duke's Mansion to inform Duke Zheng of what happened today. Duke Zheng was also very angry, but he was also very happy that his granddaughter was calm and generous. This matter still needs to be reported to the emperor. Apart from this matter, the Grand Princess's Mansion has indeed acted a little arrogant in the past two years.
At the morning court the next day, the ministers reported various matters as usual. When the court was about to leave, Cao Yushi impeached the Grand Princess for not educating her daughter properly, insulting the new nobles in the court, the people of the world, and the merchants...
After Censor Cao started the discussion, the other censors all followed suit, and even the two chancellors spoke out to condemn the move.
Duke Zheng was dumbfounded. He had planned to go to the emperor to talk about it after the court was dismissed, but he didn't expect that Censor Cao would impeach the Grand Princess at the court meeting, and so many people would second his proposal. It seemed that he had underestimated his granddaughter. But it was true that his granddaughter now had a magic weapon to improve people's livelihood. No wonder so many people protected her. Duke Zheng felt comforted.
Emperor Yongshun was confused at first. With so many people agreeing, he didn't know what earth-shattering thing his eldest sister had done. He only understood the situation after asking.
Emperor Yongshun was angry. He did not expect that his eldest sister would go backwards as she grew older. She enjoyed the glory of the royal family and the support of the people, but did things that were humiliating to the royal dignity.
As a king of a country, he was well aware that water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. He was grateful to the people of the world, otherwise he would not have unconditionally supported what Zheng Sisi did.
But at this time, he would not ignore the dissenting opinions of the royal family. Moreover, they were targeting Zheng Sisi, the person he held in his hands and doted on. If he did not punish the eldest princess and her daughter today, he believed that Zhen'er would also take action.
He could see that Zhen'er was protecting Zheng Sisi more than anyone else, but there were some things they hadn't said and he didn't want to reveal them.
