The words have been spoken to this extent, and if we go further, it should not be said by an outsider like Oroli.

Nian and Twenty nodded, without expressing his attitude, and just told Eroli to retreat.

Si Xi was so happy that when Eroli started talking about this incident, he quietly asked Wu Kui to go out and investigate on his own.

Not long after Oroli left, Wu Kui came back. By the time Twenty-Twenty raised his eyes to look at Sixi, he had already heard something from Wu Kui, and he already knew what was going on.

Therefore, he did not wait for his master to ask the question, but he had already responded: "...The emperor said, 'Prince and master, all have the same position. Ruoyun is proud to send an order this time to change his title to the third elder brother's master. Is it because of the past?"

Isn’t it shameful to be assigned as the second elder brother’s master?’”

"The emperor reprimanded Master Qin, 'If you have any discriminatory views, your motives are beyond question, and your crime will be even more serious.'"

Twenty-Twenty’s brows were knitted together. This was what he was worried about.

They are both princes and descendants of the queen. Mianning's patriarchal status is supposed to be higher than Miankai's. How can he be proud of being Miankai's master among the ministers, but feel ashamed of being Mianning's master?

If the ministers are like this, even if they have good intentions, no matter in the eyes of the emperor, in the eyes of Mian Ning, or even in the eyes of the princes of the clan, she is afraid that she, the queen, is behind the plan and stirring up trouble.

She is not afraid of carrying this bad reputation, she is just afraid that it will affect her children. After all, they are still young.

"What did the emperor do with Qin Chengye?" Nian Twen asked as calmly as possible.

Si Xi did not dare to raise his head, he lowered his head and said dullly: "The Emperor has issued a decree: Qin Chengye will be demoted to editor and expelled from the study. If there is even the slightest resentment, his crime will not be forgiven."

Twenty-Twenty sighed repeatedly in his heart, not for his mother and son, but for the great talent Qin Chengye.

"Then, who will the emperor appoint as Mian Kai's master?" Twenty-two's face remained calm and graceful.

Sixi said, "The emperor has reassigned Lord Wen Rushi Wen..."

Twenty-two raised his eyebrows, "Wen Rushi?"

Wen Rushi's name was mentioned by the emperor. Although this Wen Rushi was not a top scholar, in terms of poetry and literature, Wen Rushi might be slightly inferior to Qin Chengye, but this Wen Rushi also had extraordinary qualities that Qin Chengye and others did not have.

Although this person is a member of the Imperial Academy and a scholar among civil servants, he also has a lot of ambitions in his heart. Last year, he reported to the emperor regarding the pirates in Guangdong, suggesting that in addition to strengthening military alert,

Still should be changed

The official salt was transported by land instead of by sea, and the armor protection system was strictly enforced to eliminate internal pirates; regiment training was also held to improve naval weapons, warships, forts and other military facilities. The imperial court made corresponding arrangements based on his suggestions and appeased two groups of pirate bandits.

It is extremely rare for a literati to have such knowledge. For boys, it is better than just learning poetry and prose. Therefore, the emperor sent Wen Rushi to be Miankai's master. Mian Kai was relieved.

And secretly he was quite happy.

——Qin Chengye was Mian Ning’s master since he was a child. He taught Mian Ning like a little old man since he was a child. He was too young and mature, but lacked the liveliness and naughtiness of a child. I felt sorry for Mian Ning when I was 22 years old.

, so I don’t even want Mian Kai to be managed like that by Qin Chengye.

Seeing that Twenty-Twenty finally smiled again, Sixi and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the third elder brother is getting older, and now the master has a fourth elder brother, they all understand that the future of the two elder brothers is the top priority in the master's heart. Compared with the safety and future of the two elder brothers,

Everything else will have to take a back seat.

.

As July is approaching, the emperor will go to Shengjing to pay homage to the ancestral mausoleum. However, this year's weather has been dry.

The emperor could not delay the important event of visiting the ancestral mausoleum, but as a ruler, he could not be lazy in his duty to pray to heaven for good weather on behalf of all the people. Therefore, the emperor had no time to pack his luggage in the palace, so he left the palace in a hurry.

Go to rain prayer altars and other places to fast and pray for rain.

Not only did the emperor personally go out of the palace to pray for rain, he also sent several of his brothers, Prince Yi Yongxuan, Prince Cheng Yongxuan, and Prince Qing Yonglin, to pray for rain at the Tianshen Altar, Dizhi Altar, and Taisui Altar respectively.

The emperor went to his own business, and the matters in the palace for the concubines to move to the palace were taken care of step by step.

When all the bits and pieces were moved, the Ministry of Internal Affairs selected an auspicious day for Rubin to move the palace. Rubin then hugged the eighth princess and came to say goodbye to Twenty-Twenty in person.

Nian Twen came holding the eighth princess in his arms and looked at her with pity for a long time, "...it's a pity that I still have Mian Xin here, otherwise I would definitely keep the eighth princess. I have been looking forward to it all these years.

I could have a princess, but I never got it."

Twenty-two raised his eyes and smiled, "Otherwise... let's switch. You can take Mianxin away, and the Eighth Princess will stay with me!"

Rubin's eyes widened in shock, "Queen, how can this happen! The fourth prince is your direct prince, and he is from the country, so there is no way that the eighth princess can compare..."

The 220 then laughed, "Look, how can you say such silly things? Whether you are a prince or a princess, whether you are a direct descendant or a concubine, aren't they all the emperor's children and of royal blood?"

Rubin was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak. She watched helplessly as N220 hugged the eighth princess, making the eighth princess giggle.

After a long while, the concubine said calmly, "Back to the empress, this is my first time as a concubine, so I don't have any experience in taking care of children. I'm afraid if the fourth brother goes with me

, I can’t take care of my fourth brother well.”

Twenty-two raised his eyes and glanced at her again, "What you said makes sense. After all, this is my first child, so I am inexperienced."

"But you are worried that you can't take good care of Mianxin. Do you have the confidence to take good care of the eighth princess? Since you are worried about this, it is easy to handle. I will not entrust Mianxin to you, and you should not take the eighth princess away.

, just ask the two children to stay, and I will take care of them myself."

If the concubine was struck by lightning, she would look at Twenty-Twenty, her legs gradually moving down, as if she wanted to kneel down.

Nian and Twenty teased the Eighth Princess with the flower stick for a while, raised her eyes and saw Rubin like this, and finally laughed, reaching out and handing the Eighth Princess back to Rubin, "Oh, my silly sister.

, look how scared you are! I was just joking with you."

"The most cruel thing in the world is to separate your mother from her child, isn't it? Even if I am the middle palace, I can't force you to do this; not to mention that I have Mianxin, and besides, I have a monkey like Miankai.

, how can I spare my time to take care of the Eighth Princess!"

Rubin caught the eighth princess, but her knees could hardly bear it, and her eyes were all white for a moment.

Twenty-two stretched out his hand to support her elbow, and she stood upright again.

Twenty-two sighed softly, "I was reluctant to let go of the eighth princess, because I really like the princess so much, and we haven't had a little princess in the palace for so many years... but I didn't want to surprise you. Be careful.

It’s safe, you’ve held the baby tightly, are you relieved now?”

Ru Concubine almost choked with sobs. She hugged the Eighth Princess tightly and quickly curtsied and saluted, "Concubine and Eighth Princess, thank you very much for the Queen's grace!"

Twenty-two then lowered his eyes, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, "I allow you to take the Eighth Princess away with you. What about the official girl? How did you arrange it?"

Rubi had just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly she choked again.

She knew that the Queen was asking her about Yuetong.

She hurriedly said without thinking, "It's all up to the Queen to make the decision."

Originally, her previous conversation with Yuetong was just a test regarding whether Yuetong should stay or go. If Yuetong was going to follow her without hesitation, then she would become suspicious - after all, as Yuetong,

She took Yuetong away, so she could learn a lot about the queen from Yuetong's mouth; but it was like a double-edged sword, if Yuetong pretended to submit to her, then she would have stabbed herself.

Go to the queen's spy! The troubles will be endless.

However, after much hesitation, Yuetong decided to stay in Chuxiu Palace, knowing that her life would be difficult in the future. This made her look at Yuetong with admiration.

In the end, she had already made up her mind - she wanted to take Yuetong away.

It's just that she didn't expect that the Queen would suddenly come here today, and the departure or stay of the Eighth Princess would completely mess up her mind. At this time, she had already lost any room for bargaining in front of the Queen, and could only let the Queen make the decision.

.

This was not a compliment to the queen, but in fact it was a reality that she could not change and had to accept.

The twenty-twenty sighed, with embarrassment rising on his face, "In the past few months that you have been in my palace, I have assigned Yuetong to you. I have seen that you two get along quite well, so I know that you

If you leave without asking her to follow you, it will inevitably make you feel quite reluctant."

"But then again, Yuetong is also the first-class woman in my Chuxiu Palace. If I follow you like this, I would feel like giving up..."

As he spoke, Nianwen put down his tea bowl and spread out his left and right hands, "Look, my left hand is made of flesh, and my right hand is also made of flesh, isn't it? Besides, how can the affection between you and me as sisters be comparable to that of others in the palace? So with you

Regarding related matters, I have to think more carefully when making decisions."

When Twenty-Twenty said this, Rubin's heart was beating so hard that she didn't even know how to talk to her anymore.

Twenty-two thought for a while, "...How about this, let's find a way to reconcile it for a while."

Twenty-two took a deep breath, "Here comes someone, go and call Yuetong and Xingxi in."

.

Yuetong and Xingxi came in. They didn't know what was going on, and they looked a little nervous.

In fact, even Rubin didn't know what Twenty-Twenty was going to do, and she couldn't help but feel anxious again.

Nian Twen pointed at Yuetong and Xingxi, "Take one of them away and keep the other. As for which one you want to take, it's up to you. As for after you go to the new palace, what will your name be?

I have already ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to provide you with the number of girls you should have."

Rupin, Yuetong, and Xingxi were all stunned.

The 220-year-old smiled and said, "Sister, just tell me, which one of them will be taken away and which one will be kept? Just tell me and I will make it right."

Rubi looked at the two people in a panic, her eyes passing over their faces in turn, and she didn't know how to make a decision several times.

The expressions of Yuetong and Xingxi also changed with her gaze. Worry, tension, struggle... all appeared on their faces.

She quietly looked at Twenty-Twenty.

After what had just happened, she suddenly felt that this was just another way for the Queen to test her, or to play with her.
