Chapter 120 The General's Counterattack on the Female Crown Prince 4

She said that in a small country, there was an aristocratic family whose head had only a pair of children. Unfortunately, his son died young, and the head of the family had no choice but to let his daughter find a son-in-law to manage the family.

As time went by, the son-in-law's ambition gradually expanded. He longed to change the family, become the head of the family, and turn the clan into his own one-man show. So they held a family meeting to discuss this issue.

Su Lan paused for a moment, then asked a question: "If you were one of the family elders, which side would you support? Why?"

The officials who were able to sit in their current positions were all meticulous and versatile people. They naturally understood that the prince did not just want a simple answer, but also needed a logical and reasonable explanation that was both logical and coherent.

One of the officials stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I believe we should choose a young lady from an aristocratic family as the head of the family. Since these young ladies are able to manage their own family affairs, it proves that they possess the ability and wisdom to be competent as head of the family. Furthermore, this will ensure the continuation of the family bloodline."

Another official retorted, "Hmph, I believe the previous head of the family sought a son-in-law because he wanted to hand over the responsibilities of the family to the son-in-law. After all, it is common sense that men work hard outside, while women stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. Therefore, it is more appropriate for the son-in-law to take over the family."

Soon, several other ministers also expressed their opinions, and for a time two different views formed in the court.

Some people support choosing a daughter of an aristocratic family as the head of the family, believing that this is in line with family tradition; others insist that the son-in-law should take over the family, believing that this is more conducive to family development.

Su Lan carefully observed the situation in the court and found that both civil and military officials were divided into two camps.

She couldn't help but sigh that the ancient people's thinking was so stubborn, and the idea that women couldn't be the masters of the family was deeply rooted in their minds.

The next scene made everyone present stare wide-eyed. Su Lan reached out and took off the purple-gold crown that bound her hair. Her long, inky hair fell down, and her expression softened. She said softly, "I am actually a woman."

Everyone had an expression of disbelief on their faces, their eyes turning to Emperor An, who was sitting on the dragon throne, buried in reviewing memorials. Their hearts were filled with confusion and astonishment. What kind of royal secret was this? They couldn't help but worry about whether they could leave the imperial study safely.

Su Lan, who had activated his mind-reading ability, was speechless at this moment, as if ten thousand ponies were galloping through his mind. These people's ideas were so bizarre that it made people laugh and cry.

Su Lan took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart, and then solemnly said to everyone: "My Lords, I am telling you this today because I want to restore my female identity and take on the position of Crown Princess again. Do you have any good ideas?"

Su Lan tried hard several times and finally succeeded in regaining her female voice. Her voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

Several high-ranking officials present were awakened by Su Lan's voice and came back to their senses.

The Grand Tutor was the first to kneel down and shouted towards Emperor An, "Your Majesty, absolutely not! Now that the Crown Prince is a girl, how can she inherit the throne in the future?"

Su Lan looked at the Grand Tutor with a forced smile, the aura of a superior evident even in this girl with her hair loose. Her eyes were cold, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing an authority that was impossible to ignore.

"Why not? Am I not the heir to the throne? Or am I not capable enough?" Her voice was not loud, but every word she said was loaded with power, shaking the entire hall.

The Grand Tutor watched her pressing forward and couldn't help but take two steps back. His face turned pale, and beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead. He stammered, "Your Highness... do you want to be the Empress?"

Su Lan sneered, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, "Taifu, I was raised by you since I was a child, and you know my abilities best. Now you oppose me just because I am a woman. It's ridiculous!" Her words were as sharp as a sword, piercing Taifu's heart directly.

The Grand Tutor opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but he didn't know where to begin. He hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise."

Su Lan's heart surged with rage upon hearing this. She glared at the Imperial Tutor and sneered, "Your mother is a woman, your wife is a woman, and from what I understand, you have three intelligent daughters. Are they all villains? Imperial Tutor, do you despise them all?" Her gaze was like a knife, piercing the Imperial Tutor, as if she wanted to see through him.

The Grand Tutor lowered his head in dismay, his expression turning grim. At this moment, a military officer suddenly stepped forward and shouted, "Your Highness, you are making a specious argument! Women are not as strong as men, and they are so nagging. How can they inherit the throne?"

Su Lan politely asked him to leave the study, then picked up a red tassel spear and defeated him with just three moves.

After all the adults had no objections to this, they sat down again and began to discuss how to restore Su Lan's identity.

Someone suggested directly announcing Su Lan's true identity to the world, but this suggestion was quickly rejected because doing so might cause turmoil in the court and also make foreign officials have unstable thoughts.

Some people also suggested that they could proceed slowly and let the prince accomplish some big things, but the problem was that the subjects would only remember the prince's achievements and would not pay attention to Su Lan's identity as a woman, so this plan was also rejected.

At this time, the left prime minister stepped forward and proposed another solution: to announce to the public that the queen had actually given birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, and because their destinies were similar, they would be raised separately.

Now that the girl has been brought back, she can be granted the status of a princess. After she has made some real achievements, the crown prince can be arranged to "fake his death", and then Emperor An can naturally confer the title of crown princess on her.

However, Su Lan was not satisfied with the plan and said she could not accept it. She asked the ministers to go back and reconsider and find a way to maintain the royal family's reputation and allow her to restore her status smoothly.

Finally, when these ministers walked out of the imperial study, especially the civil officials, their waists were almost bent to 90 degrees.

Eunuch Feng, who was waiting at the door, was very curious about what they had experienced when he saw this scene.

Su Lan asked the little palace maid to come in and tie her hair, then she said goodbye to Emperor An. She still had to go to Empress An's place for dinner.

When Queen An saw Su Lan, she asked her if she had eaten well these days, and then vaguely brought up the matter of Ye Chuxue.

Su Lan also told him that she wanted to restore her female identity and stated that Ye Chuxue was not suitable for the palace.

"Ah, Lan'er, why do you have such an idea?" Queen An was also used to the original owner pretending to be a man and sitting firmly on the throne of the crown prince.

This made Su Lan lose her appetite even when looking at the delicious food on the table. She just said, "Mother, you want me to pretend to be a man for the rest of my life, but have you asked me if I want to?" and then left.

After she left, Queen An was also distracted. Yes, they used the country as shackles to nail their daughter firmly in this position and never thought about her wishes.

Forget it, the child is grown up now, let her be.

After returning to the East Palace, Su Lan went back to her own bedroom and dismissed all the palace maids.

"Host, since you've revealed your identity so directly today, won't those high-ranking officials rebel?"

After entering the space, Su Lan started eating Tuanzi's snacks, which made Tuanzi dissatisfied. He started to find topics to talk about and came over to eat with her.

"No, Emperor An should arrange people to watch over them. Their loyalty is the highest among the ministers, and they will not easily rebel."

Su Lan ate half full before looking at the situation of the male and female protagonists.

They were both in a brothel, a brothel at that! ! !
