Chapter 360: Divergence
"These are all just daydreams. Why discuss them here? We don't know if the king will attend court tomorrow. If he doesn't, what should we do next?"
The officials are once again worrying about the fate of the nation.
Because they genuinely hoped that the country and its people could develop better and better, but now it seems that the situation is not getting better, so they are naturally quite worried about these things.
"If the emperor hasn't held court by tomorrow, we'll go directly to the princess and ask her to persuade the king, since she is the king's elder sister..."
Some officials in the court held different views on Gan Luo at this time, but a group of stubborn individuals still held a deep and unwavering affection for him…
"Have you seen Her Highness the Princess done anything to harm the court during this time? Has she harmed our interests? It seems that Her Highness the Princess hasn't done anything. If that's the case, why do you have such a strong opinion against her? No matter how capable Her Highness the Princess is, she is still just a woman."
One of the officials spoke up for Gan Luo, but before he could finish speaking, he was immediately opposed by the other officials, who all said that what he said was wrong.
"You say that what I'm saying now isn't quite right, then can you tell me exactly where I went wrong, Your Highness? Are the things I'm doing really bad?"
The official then listed Gan Luo's actions during those days, including adopting orphans and opening schools.
Some officials do believe that people have many misunderstandings about women, and that Gan Luo's actions are all for the sake of women, which is understandable.
"But for some reason, I just feel that Her Highness the Princess shouldn't be doing these things. These matters should be left to us all to handle. If..."
Unexpectedly, the official remained stubborn and refused to listen to reason. In the end, the official left and happened to run into Shangguan Mufeng. Shangguan Mufeng saw that the official was so angry and was quite puzzled, so he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
"I just thought they were a bunch of old rascals. I never expected to encounter such a group of people. They are really giving me a headache. I thought they would be able to understand, but now I find that they are completely incomprehensible."
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. At this moment, Shangguan Mufeng could see from his eyes just how much he resented this group of people. For some reason, Shangguan Mufeng found it somewhat amusing at that moment.
"Why don't you have a proper talk with me right here and see if we share the same thoughts?"
Shangguan Mufeng must have spent the rest of his time trying to figure out what the person in front of him was thinking.
This person had naturally already told Shangguan Mufeng that he had a lot of opinions about these people because they all had a lot of opinions about Gan Luo, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt.
"I share the same idea as you, so I support what Princess Yu has done. If you also support Princess Yu's actions, why not join my camp? What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, the official fell into deep thought for a moment. He had no idea whether to join Gan Luo's camp. Afterward, the official said that he needed to think about it seriously. Shangguan Mufeng then suggested that he could inform Gan Luo about the matter.
Finally, Shangguan Mufeng arrived at the Princess's residence and told Gan Luo about the matter. Lin Fengmian listened from the side and admired Gan Luo even more.
After all, the fact that Gan Luo's actions could move some officials in the court shows that not all officials in the court were unreasonable.
"If that's the case, then I think I can go and meet this official next. I'm also very curious about what kind of thoughts this official has."
She must have been in a state of great curiosity at that moment.
Gan Luo was extremely curious about what they were talking about, why this official would speak up for her, and why he would offend these officials in the process.
"Why don't I go and meet this official now? I'd like to know what he's discussing with them here. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, they all nodded in agreement, indicating that there were absolutely no problems.
Led by Shangguan Mufeng, they then went to the official's house. When they arrived, the door was tightly closed. Lin Fengmian walked over and knocked on the door.
When the butler saw the large group of people at the door, he was naturally startled.
He never expected that the eldest princess would come to this place; for a moment, he felt it was all a bit unbelievable.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness, Princess. May Her Royal Highness live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."
He hurriedly opened the door, and Gan Luo went over and personally helped the man up, then asked if the officials were there.
"Your Highness, you may not know this, but the master has already gone out. If Your Highness wishes to see the master, it will probably be some time before she can do so."
"I don't think it matters either. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I might as well wait here for this official."
The people around hurriedly invited Gan Luo inside and served him well, after all, the person in front of them was a princess, whose status was very noble.
Gan Luo sat there leisurely, occasionally glancing at the surrounding decorations.
