Ye Qing stood behind the golden curtain and told himself: "Calm down!"
Today is January 9th, the opening day of the Imperial Parliament.
It is also the day agreed upon for the joint defense.
Ye Qing is only thirteen years old, an age that is defined as a girl by most people. She has just passed through the years when a girl's body is most rapidly improving. Her breasts have also begun to slowly swell, gradually getting rid of the youthfulness of a girl, and working hard to bloom little by little. The age of the most beautiful and pure years in life.
In front of most people, she is just a child.
Ye Qing has always known this, and has been using his advantage of being "still a child" to obtain all kinds of preferential treatment and privileges in the adult world.
But at this moment, she finally wanted to completely peel off the child's mask, stand in the world of those adults, ruthlessly tear open the hypocritical masks of those adults, touch them with cold interests, and let them hurt. Bone marrow, ecstatic, and hysterical.
The icy and smart Ye Xiaojiu, the proud and confident Ninth Princess, and the calm and introverted Ye Qing, none of them thought that they were ready to stand on the adult stage and no longer be the elegant and beautiful princess to win them over. His pampering and appreciative gaze.
However, not everything in this world must be prepared before you can do it.
She was standing in front of the golden throne at the moment. Unlike the Throne of Thorns in the St Empire, Lanye's throne was a treasure made of jade, gold, jade and agate. However, there was no owner sitting on this priceless chair. .
In other words, the Emperor of Lanye, her father was not actually sitting there.
Not only is her father not here, her eldest brother, Crown Prince Lan Ye, who is also known as the "Green Lion" is not here either. The second prince Ye Luo is still in a distant place that she doesn't know about, and the third princess Ye Luan is in the far north. She was waiting for news about her on the snow-capped mountains, so she was the only one standing here.
As a member of the Lanye royal family, she submitted a request for a joint defense to the Imperial Parliament. Her father and brother acquiesced in her willfulness, but as previous supporters of the proposal, they had to watch the joint defense proceed.
Ye Qing took a deep breath and slowly walked out from behind the golden curtain.
She did not wear the small golden crown that symbolized her status as a princess. Her golden crown was abandoned at the bottom of the holy lake when she was nine years old. She did not know whether her father took it back, but she never intended to wear it. The bluegrass golden crown made of gold and warm jade. She had walked this road from the royal seat to the podium in the hall countless times, but it had never been so long and arduous.
Because the eyes from all directions have never been as sharp and hot as this moment.
This was an undisguised look of hostility, and the object of the hostility was the princess of their own empire.
But Ye Qing did not speed up her pace, nor did she fall behind. She followed the pace in her memory and walked step by step to the center of the thousand and one people.
Just like she did when she was eight years old.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ye Qing."
Ye Qing raised his eyes and looked around calmly. The blue giant beast disappeared in the aqua blue eyes. The timid whispers and the emotional gaze were silent under the gaze of the giant beast. Emperor Yuan Tai did not give him anything. The bloodline left too much power, but it gave them the most powerful weapon.
That is the aura that belongs to the royal family.
"I think all the adults here already know why I appear here."
Ye Qing said calmly, her voice radiating around along the sound tracks that were set up. There was no need to deliberately amplify the sound, so it could reach everyone's ears evenly.
"I propose that the marriage plan between the third princess of the empire, Ye Luan, and the emperor of the St Empire, Tianqi, be terminated."
"above."
There was a terrible silence on the seats that looked like growth rings of ancient trees.
The most terrifying silence is not the silence of death, but the silence with only the sound of low breathing rising and falling, as if a pack of wolves are watching you waiting to pounce.
In this terrible silence, the old man spoke in a hoarse voice: "Her Royal Highness Princess Ye Qing, the joint defense is not just for you to make a request. You must know this better than me."
Ye Qing naturally knew it, because she had done this once as early as five years ago, but when faced with the question from the Speaker of the Imperial Parliament, Ye Qing raised his head and smiled.
The world of adults.
Ye Qing whispered to himself under his smile.
When I open my mouth, the world of adults opens up to me.
"The following councillors, whose names I have read, I hope you can respond to the princess's request and stand up from your seats." Ye Qing spoke coldly, showing no expression.
"Sir Firephilosopher."
A young red-haired congressman stood up from his seat.
"Viscount Mosley."
2nd MP.
Ye Qing didn't pause, just like Ye Ye College's tutor occasionally called his name on a whim, the councilor who was called could only stand up straight after the order,
Although when the entire Imperial Council was taken as a whole, even the Lan Ye royal family had to retreat for him, but individually, Ye Qing still had an overwhelming advantage.
No councilor can resist a princess.
Ye Qing read out seven names in a row, then stopped and turned her head like a little girl, looking at the adults who were looking around her.
"The above seven people have violated the sacred covenant of the Imperial Parliament by accepting bribes. Here, as a member of the royal family participating in politics, I solemnly propose that they be deprived of their status as members."
The Imperial Council Hall was in an uproar instantly. The seven members who stood up all had expressions of disbelief and anger on their faces. Others were confused and panicked. People began to whisper to each other, and the buzz of conversation was like a buzz in the air. Thousands of bees are spreading their wings.
"That's enough!" the Speaker said in a low voice.
Honey folded its wings.
"Charges require evidence." The Speaker looked at the princess.
Ye Qing nodded, then looked at Huo Zhe: "Sir, do you want to deny it?"
Huo Zhe said angrily: "Even if you have such noble blood flowing in your body, you have no right to insult my loyalty. I..."
The red-haired nobleman's high-pitched and passionate defense came to an abrupt end because Ye Qing showed him a simple bronze key with an expressionless face.
He instantly collapsed and sat on his seat, murmuring: "How is that possible?"
"A luxurious mansion on the outskirts of Lanlan City is of immeasurable value. Such a bargaining chip, even if it is given to me." Ye Qing gently shook the key, then bounced it up, spinning the key in the air and finally pinned it to the fire. Zhe's lapel.
"I also have to think twice before I act."
"Viscount Mosley." Ye Qing looked at the second accused member.
Mosley was an old man with silver hair. He looked at Ye Qing and bowed his head humbly: "I have always been poor, and I don't like wealth. All my friends and colleagues can prove it."
"But you have a ridiculous and extravagant only son." Ye Qing sighed and said: "He owed a debt that he couldn't repay in ten lives, until someone saw you and promised to save his life."
Third place, fourth place.
After Ye Qing accurately stated the forms and reasons for the bribery of the three congressmen, the remaining four congressmen would rather bear the crime of injustice than be whipped by the princess in front of all her colleagues. Pulling out her whip, they all silently admitted their crimes.
"Above." After confirming the last member, Ye Qing looked at the Speaker: "What do you think?"
The Speaker sighed deeply: "According to tradition, they should indeed be deprived of their status as members, but I want to know, how does the princess have such eyes and ears to know this?"
Ye Qing smiled, but there was no joy in his smile.
"I could answer that I have my own ears and eyes and can hear and see things that many people don't know, but that person didn't ask me to hide the truth of the matter."
"Before I left, I had a brief meeting with the Apocalypse Emperor's envoy. I asked him if he could give me some icing on the cake to embellish our friendship. As a result, the Emperor's envoy gave me this."
The Speaker was a little surprised by the truth: "In other words, the emperor himself told the princess how and whom he bribed?"
"It's truly incredible."
Ye Qing nodded, then smiled sarcastically: "I just want to show you how unreasonable that emperor is."
"Then I would like to confirm to you that there is some personal friendship between me and that emperor."
