C206 An argument in the imperial court

The next day, in the imperial court, just as Duan Yunfei had thought, all the officials were discussing about Duan Yunfei leading her troops.

There were even some who didn't mind such a big matter and directly ran over to the Fifth Prince to inquire about this matter. Naturally, there was no lack of sarcastic factors within them.

After all, Duan Yunfei's martial arts were much better than the Fifth Prince's. The Fifth Prince was far inferior to this matter and everyone in the palace knew that it was only because of the Fifth Prince's power, they did not dare to casually discuss it.

"Fifth Prince, I heard that His Majesty is sending the Thirteenth Princess to lead the troops to war. Is this true?"

The official's voice wasn't loud, but it wasn't small either. The surrounding people all heard his words and felt their hearts clench. His actions were no different from moving dirt on a tiger's head. Even if the Fifth Prince didn't show it at this time, he would definitely give the Fifth Prince a lesson behind his back. If the Fifth Prince wanted a small Fifth Grade official to have no official, it could be considered as easy and effortless.

On the other hand, Eighth Prince felt that there was a good show to watch. Although he was still brooding over the fact that Duan Yunfei was leading his troops, at the very least, the one leading his troops was not him, but the arrogant Fifth Prince who had smashed his own feet.

The Fifth Prince felt embarrassed, but he couldn't show it at this time. After all, he was going to be in the morning court soon.

"Your Royal Highness, this prince isn't very clear about this matter. I believe that Father will speak of this later on in the assembly. However, Sir Wang need not worry. Although Yun Fei is a woman, he is proficient in spear arts and tactics. He has the bearing of a female general. He is truly the light of our royal family. "

"It's laughable for you to speak so nicely and embarrass our royal family." The Eighth Prince thought in his heart that the Fifth Prince looked down on everyone, and was only afraid of Yuwen Di. If not for him being at the moment when the assembly was about to begin, the Fifth Prince would probably be worried that Yuwen Di would come out and hear him say something completely different.

"What royal brother said is right. Imperial brother remembers that when he was learning martial arts, Yun Fei almost beat you to the ground?" At that time, it wasn't because he was close to it, but because Duan Yunfei had indeed done it. Facing the older and stronger Fifth Prince, Duan Yunfei had somehow knocked the Fifth Prince down.

The Fifth Prince only wanted to go up and beat Eighth Prince up. He clearly knew that it was his disgrace, but he brought it up in the imperial court. It was all for the sake of humiliating him, making him want to find a hole to hide in.

But the Fifth Prince could not do so. The Eighth Prince was currently being pampered, and the Fifth Prince could not easily touch him. As long as he became the crown prince and the emperor in the future, he would definitely return all the humiliation he had suffered to the Eighth Prince.

"Cough, cough." Seeing the rowdy atmosphere, Eunuch Li coughed to remind the ministers that Yuwen Di had arrived.

When the ministers heard the Eunuch Li cough, they immediately quietened down. They couldn't help but suspect if the scene just now really happened.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"Everyone, please rise."

Following that, the various officials reported their recent affairs to Yuwen Di as per usual. They had everything related to the government, food and equipment, as well as the soldiers and guards that Yuwen Di had ordered to get rid of as soon as possible. However, what everyone wanted to know was whether or not Duan Yunfei was really going to lead the troops out to war, but no one dared to ask.

The Minister of the Left knew about this, and when Zuo Yuanyuan returned home that day, she was depressed. The Left Premier and his wife were worried about her, so they asked. Duan Yunfei had told Zuo Yuan before, if the Minister Zuo had asked about this, there was no need to hide it. After all, the man known as the Minister Zuo did not like to spread the news either.

Thus, Zuo Yuan told this to the Minister of the Left. When he heard the rumors that didn't match with the facts, he felt scared. No matter what, as long as it was spread, it would change.

As for the Prince Mu, when he heard this news, he was extremely shocked. Because Mu Chuyang had never told Prince Mu about this matter, but what Prince Mu did not know was that Mu Chuyang and Duan Yunfei had not seen each other for a very long time, and even until now, the misunderstanding between them had not been resolved.

Right now, Duan Yunfei was not only a princess of the Jin Country. To the Prince Mu's Mansion, Duan Yunfei was also Mu Chuyang's fiancee, which meant that Duan Yunfei would become the future master of the Prince Mu's Mansion.

The Prince Mu knew how dangerous the situation was on the front lines. If Duan Yunfei headed to the border now, he would not be able to get any benefits, and would instead be trapped in a dilemma. Without mentioning how special Duan Yunfei's position was to the Prince Mu's Mansion, just based on her feelings of watching Duan Yunfei grow up, she did not want Duan Yunfei to take any risks.

Even the Prince Mu was worried about Duan Yunfei's safety, so how could Yuwen Di be at ease and allow Duan Yunfei to head towards the border? Prince Mu thought so in his heart. Before this matter was confirmed, Prince Mu did not plan to tell Mu Chuyang about this matter.

Yuwen Di also noticed the commotion among the court officials, it must be because of Duan Yunfei.

Yesterday, he had already discussed things with Duan Yunfei, so even if no one in the imperial court asked about it, Yuwen Di planned to explain it to them.

"I know that there have been rumors outside the palace that we are sending troops from the Thirteenth Princess to the border territories. I'm sure all our beloved officials have heard of this matter."

No one made a sound, and even the Fifth Prince and the others only remained silent.

"Since there is nothing else to discuss today, then I shall tell this rumor to my beloved officials."

Yuwen Di looked at his useless sons. If any of them were to truly help him share his worries, why would he let Duan Yunfei risk her life?

"We have indeed agreed to allow the Thirteenth Princess to head to the front lines."

The audience went into an uproar as soft rustling sounds of discussion began to sound out.

"Your Majesty, although Thirteenth Princess has learnt martial arts before, leading troops in battles is not something as simple as a child playing house. It might not be appropriate to hand this matter over to Thirteenth Princess."

The person who spoke was an old official who had a lot of prestige in the imperial court. He was not talking to Duan Yunfei and her words did not contain any deeper meaning, but rather, she felt that it was inappropriate to hand over the lives of so many soldiers to Duan Yunfei.

"Thirteenth Princess does indeed want to head to the front lines, but it is not like how the rumors say that he will lead the troops to the battlefield.

Since it was not to lead the troops out, then what was Duan Yunfei doing at the border? Want to join in the fun? This also made the court official unhappy.
