This tongue of hers was truly infuriating! The Empress Dowager didn't think she'd met anyone like Gong Yimo that was so thorny and hard to deal with!

"Hah...you speak big words!"

The Empress Dowager said to the person behind her. "Go, she has disrespected me! Give her fifty slaps!"

Gong Yimo stood at the entrance. None of the palace maids behind her dared to speak, but she was unafraid, and even said without a care.

"Empress Dowager, go ahead and send all your private soldiers. I'll count it as my loss if any one of them manages to slap my mouth!"

She also added maliciously, "Don't pull your harem tricks on me. I'm no concubine, so if you can't convince me, then I will never concede!"

Her words caused the Empress Dowager to fall back in anger! "She's rebelling! There! She's rebelling!"

"That's because she wanted to kill me! If I were the one dead, would she mourn for me too?" Gong Yimo looked at her with eyes like electricity. "Empress Dowager, do you not care for appearances anymore just to humiliate me?!"

The Empress Dowager suddenly stood up!" "So what if I want to humiliate you? It is difficult enough for me alone, an Empress Dowager, to conduct a funeral. As a princess, shouldn't you share my burdens?"

"That is one thing, so why don't I just form a funeral team to cry for you?!" Gong Yimo would not accept it at all. Why should she participate in Long Hanyan's funeral?

And on the Emperor's side, the whole palace was rowdy! They were all in the middle of an argument because of Gong Yimo, and the current scene was divided into two factions that were quarreling non-stop. Gong Cheng's head was aching and he suddenly slammed his hand on the armrest. "Quiet!"

Chang Xi's eyes were fierce. "Silence!"

His voice overpowered everyone at once and the ministers gradually quieted down. The Assistant Minister of Household led by the Left Prime Minister stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, this reward is too excessive! Not to mention the title. How can a woman of her stature be equal to the crown prince? She is not even an official heir!"

"Why not? The princess has contributed much to Dayu, but what have the other princes done? Why can't the princess have a higher position than them?" some people argued.

"A woman will eventually have to marry! This honor will just end up in the hands of the future son-in-law! That's not proper!"
