Shen Ruojing.”?”
She frowned. “I’m here for the same matter as well.”
The guard nodded. “In that case, Your Highness the Princess may enter, but no one else.” He glanced at Chu Cichen and Shen Qianhui.
Chu Cichen was not from Country A and was not yet married to Shen Ruojing, so he was definitely not allowed in.
But Shen Qianhui…
Shen Ruojing sneered, “This is my mother… the Queen and the person closest to my father. Are you not allowing her in?”
The guard looked at Shen Ruojing and explained, “Your Highness, the rules of the palace have always been that women cannot interfere in political affairs, so…”
Shen Ruojing mocked, “If the Queen Dowager came, would you dare to stop her?”
The guard said confidently, “Of course not, but the Empress Dowager is not like ordinary harem women. She has handled political affairs before and her abilities are well-known to everyone. If she wants to enter, there must be a reason!”
Shen Ruojing frowned. “Are you saying my mother is not capable?”
The guard wanted to say more, but Shen Ruojing scolded angrily, “It’s not your place to comment on whether she’s capable or not. Let us through right now.”
The guard hesitated but eventually stepped back. “If His Majesty the King or anyone else blames us, don’t say I didn’t warn Your Highness the Princess and the Queen!”
Shen Ruojing didn’t bother with his sarcastic remarks and led Shen Qianhui inside.
The guard looked at them with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
When he turned back, he saw Chu Cichen staring coldly at him.
The guard glared back. “What are you looking at? You’re not allowed in, and the PR department will soon kick the Queen out!”
Chu Cichen said, “Shall we make a bet?”
The guard was taken aback. “What?”
Chu Cichen said, “If the PR department doesn’t kick the Queen out and treats her with respect, then you lose. You’ll kowtow to the Queen five times and admit that you were wrong. How about it?”
The guard scoffed, “Sure, but what if you lose? Will you kowtow to me?”
A fierce glint flashed in Chu Cichen’s eyes.
This guard dared to suggest this, which meant he had never taken Chu Cichen seriously.
In their eyes, he was just an ordinary businessman from China. How could they take him seriously?
Chu Cichen sneered, “Fine, as long as you can handle my kowtow.”
The guard laughed. “What’s there to be afraid of? We, men of Country A, despise men who marry into their wives’ families the most!”
In Country A, men were superior to women, and men marrying into their wives’ families were indeed considered lower than servants.
Chu Cichen didn’t argue with him but waited quietly.
At this moment, in the palace.
Before Shen Ruojing and Shen Qianhui even entered, they heard the arguing inside. People from the PR department were discussing intensely,
“Let His Majesty the King apologize, and this matter will be over, right? As for international law, we will not comply!”
“That’s not acceptable. If His Majesty the King apologizes, it’s like admitting to the matter. We should deny it from beginning to end. Since His Majesty said that only he understands the technology, he can deny it, and the other party can’t do anything about it! As for the evidence from the Karl side, we can completely say that they are fabricating it to frame the King.”
“Why would Karl want to frame the King? There’s no grudge between the two countries. The people won’t believe that!”
“Even if they don’t believe, they can’t provide more favorable evidence. As long as we admit to breaking the law, we will be in a passive position. If the people think that the King’s research poses a threat to them, His Majesty will be taken away! I’m afraid the army won’t protect the King by then!”
“But we can’t lie, it’s deceiving the people!”
“Then tell the truth and have the King swear never to reveal the technology, right?”
“But secretly researching this technology has already violated the law!”
“What do we do now? The internet is full of criticism of the King, and under the guidance of their trolls, His Majesty has become a sinner of humanity!”
“Stop arguing, come up with a plan first, and then discuss right or wrong later!”
As the crowd was talking, Jing Zhen was sitting on his throne, growing impatient.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed Shen Qianhui and Shen Ruojing entering the room. Jing Zhen’s eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and hurried over. “Wifey, Jingjing, what brings you here?”
As soon as he spoke, the discussion in the palace stopped, and everyone looked at them.
Then they frowned and looked disdainfully at Shen Qianhui,
“Your Highness the Queen, how can you enter the council chamber?”
“If Your Highness the Queen has nothing to do, please leave first. We are currently facing a tricky public opinion issue that needs to be resolved immediately. Please do not waste our time here!”
“Your Majesty, women should not enter the council chamber. This is a rule passed down by our ancestors. Are you going to break it?”
The crowd began to attack Shen Qianhui.
Jing Zhen glared at them and then asked Shen Qianhui, “Wifey, you must have something important to be here, right?”
After saying that, Jing Zhen’s eyes lit up. He realized something and asked, “1 see, did you come up with a good solution for the public opinion issue?”
Shen Qianhui nodded. “Yes.”
However, the rest of the PR department looked at her with disdain, and their expressions showed disbelief..
