Chapter 1264: Argument (2)
Qi Xiuyuan had expected the beginning, but he didn’t expect the end.
Because Mu Yangling suddenly appeared, the ministers did not react in time. Hence, they watched in a daze as Queen Consort Rong walked to the center of the hall and bowed to the Emperor. They only reacted when she sat down at the table above Rong Xuan.
As Queen Consort Rong was a superior first-grade Queen Consort Rong, her status was indeed above that of the Right Prime Minister. It was understandable for her to sit there.
The hall was incomparably quiet for a moment, and no one dared to raise questions again.
Firstly, Queen Consort Rong was a woman after all. They could make things difficult for Qi Wenjin because although he was young, he was the heir of King Rong and was now an official serving in the same court. However, this did not mean that they would bully a woman.
Secondly, everyone really feared that King Rong would settle scores with them later if they targeted Queen Consort Rong. If they quarreled with Qi Wenjin, it could simply be said that their political views differed. Why would they argue with a woman?
Hence, all of them immediately fell silent like gourds that had their mouths sawed off.
Since even the other officials were like this, Yan Du, who had a high status, would certainly not make things difficult for Mu Yangling.
