Yuan Zhe's expression froze, and he was speechless.
Everyone around him fell silent.
Others couldn't say this, but even if they did, it wouldn't have the weight of thunder.
Feng Yang was older, had a high status, and was the eldest daughter of Emperor Taizu. She had always been doted on by him.
When Emperor Taizu was still alive, be it on the battlefield or on private visits, he often brought his eldest daughter along. Even if Feng Yang refused to marry for the rest of her life, Emperor Taizu would still let her be and spoil her.
Emperor Taizu often said, "My daughter has the right to do whatever she wants."
This "qualification" not only meant that Emperor Taizu was willing to support his daughter, but also that Feng Yang was far more capable than a man.
Empress Dowager Yuan's expression tightened, and the corners of her lips trembled violently. She couldn't bring herself to lose face.
