With one minister stepping out, the others also gathered their courage and stood out in objection. They gave all kinds of reasons about why the marriage should not be permitted. The main point was simply that Bei Feng was too ugly and his marriage to the princess would harm the prestige of the royal clan and cause the entire empire to lose face!
Only the military generals did not say anything. A large portion of them were Xia Peng's men.
Xia Ding could hear the voices below him, and his heart was also extremely conflicted. However, now was not the time to lose all decorum with Xia Peng.
Finally, under the emotionless gaze of Xia Peng, Xia Ding sat down weakly on his throne and agreed to the wedding.
