"Does Prime Minister takes Royal family as fool."
This was the first time after many years someone has dare to have word with Minister Rong. Once an official has dare to oppose his plan and next day him and his whole family vanished in a thin air, so after that no one dare to voice beside Finance Minister.
"O my, sorry your highness I just speak my thought loudly…Please continue Minister Rong I will not disturb you."
She was deliberately getting his nerve…...
"So, I was asking your highness to give us approval of forming a new team so we can begin this proposal."
Royal princess was quite surprised with guts of ministers. They indeed made plan carefully, while they not only just telling emperor we are doing it but also drawn clear line that beside them not even the Emperor himself can interfere.
The plan looks indeed good…. but…. But even blind can see flaws.
Royal Princess stood up and bow down to Emperor. "your Majesty, if you give me a permission can I say something."
"Your highness Royal princess is still young and didn't understand a diplomatic relation please don't waste time in dilly dallying."
This sentence indeed sounds off but it was direct reminder for King to not mess with him.
"Minister Rong I am just trying to figure out my curiosity, am not bold enough to take decision without imperial order."
"Xiao Feng make it shorter."
King didn't only call her tenderly but also give her permission, making Minister Rong outraged.
"I don't think Princess has authority to questioned me."
She knew he will surely make trouble but she wasn't weak to be bullied.
"did you mean I have no right to query any officials here?"
"Only king can interrogate high rank official."
"Legal advisor Ling may I please trouble you."
Legal advisor was popular for being loyal to throne, he never takes side and always stay outside of conflict. so he simply told the rules.
"It's true that only King can interrogate for high ranks officials and they can only obey King's order, but Empress and Royal blood can share the trouble if it is granted by Emperor himself."
Prime minister Rong face was filled with black line he was tolerating it for his grandson coronation. He thought after his grandson becomes crowned prince he will deal after her but he regretted not doing fast enough.
But…but he was quite sure the king will not be foolish enough to offend him.
"make it short."
"thank you your highness."
'…'
Everyone in the court was taken aback, king was just a Puppet of Prime Minister and it is known by all of them. But he dares to offend him no one has even dream about. They look at throne at dazed as looking at some exotic creature.
This day will be really memorizing and interesting…

"So, Minister Rong how will it be able to reserve water from river, isn't it quite challenging." Royal Princess tilt her head slightly making her look smugger.
