The idea of Junjie marrying a foreign wife was astounding enough but when it came to Jun Mingzhe, it hit them like sudden frost on ripe blossoms.
Prime minister Chi Rui, also the royal son-in-law was the first to recover. "Have you lost your mind? Lady, are you thinking with all the brain cells you were given at birth?"
Princess Si Si scoffed. "There is no need for harsh words just because the Imperial Commander is your nephew."
The Empress Mother slapped the table. "Si Si, you must not be thinking straight because if you were, this nonsense would not have spilled out of your mouth."
"Even I can see that that would be a terrible idea." Ruoxi raised her voice. "He is the Imperial Commander who is in charge of the security of the royal family and the empire. You want a man with a huge army and the backing of a powerful noble family to marry a foreign princes!!!"
"It is not as if I am asking him to rebel." Si Si defended herself. "The Jun's are loyal to the crown."
