The eldest princess Yongkang saluted respectfully and said.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother's face softened slightly, she nodded slightly and said, "Why do you come to visit the Ai family?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, Master is awake and wants to see Father, but Father..." Yongkang looked a little embarrassed.
"The Ai family knows. The Ai family will go with you." The Queen Mother said directly.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Yongkang nodded with a happy face.
In this way, the two of them walked towards the direction of the enshrinement hall.
…
The fourth prince's residence.
The eunuch who ordered the eunuch smiled with a smile on his face, and faced the housekeeper of the mansion with great humility, saying: "You're welcome, you're welcome, Butler Wu, could you please inform His Highness? I have news to convey. It is the Queen Mother's decree that His Highness be moved into the East Palace.
What a happy event!"
Uncle Wu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. I will send someone to invite your highness. Father-in-law, please take a rest."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
The father-in-law did not dare to entrust him with the order. This was the Crown Prince of the East Palace. Although he was a temporary successor, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the temporary successor was to lay the foundation for the formal ceremony.
This is the master!
Don't offend!
As Uncle Wu spoke, he calmly handed a piece of silver to his father-in-law.
This is the rule.
The king of hell is easy to mess with, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
The father-in-law who sent the order had a smile on his face, his smile did not diminish, and he declined: "Oh, Butler Wu, you are so polite, you will be my nobleman from now on, I don't dare to accept you, I don't dare to accept you."
He said that he didn't dare to take it, but the father-in-law had no intention of taking it back.
Uncle Wu was also a man of understanding. He looked at the actions of the eunuch who was delivering the order, smiled, and said: "You are so polite, father-in-law. I still have to give what is due. It is not easy for my father-in-law. Come on, come on, have a cup of tea."
After hearing Uncle Wu's words, the eunuch who sent the order took the opportunity to put the silver into his arms, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Manager Wu."
While the two were talking, a servant ran non-stop towards Zhu Youji's room in the backyard.
The servant was so furious that he almost bumped into someone.
This frivolous behavior made Liu Ruyan, who was strolling in the garden nearby, frown and shouted: "What are you doing? Are you frizzy?"
The servant was startled. After seeing the speaker clearly, he quickly saluted respectfully and said, "Miss Liu."
Although his name is Miss Liu, the servants all know that this Miss Liu is most likely to be one of the future mistresses. The fourth prince is a member of the royal family, at worst a vassal king. If he is lucky, he will be the emperor.
How could there be only one mistress?
Are all the servants’ eyes bright?
Don’t dare to offend this Miss Liu!
"What's the matter?" Liu Ruyan looked at this servant and asked coldly.
The servant hurriedly said: "Go back to Miss Liu, there are people coming from the palace. I heard that they are here to announce the summons. They want His Highness to take over the East Palace and temporarily replace the Crown Prince."
"Huh? Enter the East Palace? Become a prince?" Liu Ruyan's face changed slightly. Although he had thought about such a day for a long time, he didn't expect it to come so soon.
Liu Ruyan calmed down and waved, "Okay, I understand, go ahead."
"Yes." The servant ran away again. This time, he was much more careful and did not dare to rush around.
Liu Ruyan looked at the servant's leaving figure, hesitated slightly, and walked towards a courtyard.
In that courtyard, there are two people with the holy door closed.
The saint Dongfang Bai and the elder Liu Yuming.
She was going to meet her mother. In the future, Zhu Youji would have many women. For her at this moment, the only resources she could use were the Giant Whale Gang and the Holy Sect Elder.
Mother.
She decided to persuade Liu Yuming to surrender to Zhu Youji.
Zhu Youji didn't know what Liu Ruyan was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely give a thumbs up and praise: Well done!
Zhu Youji has always liked smart women who don't work hard, can find ways to please themselves, and can also find ways to maintain their status.
For example, Liu Ruyan now.
After a while, Zhu Youji woke up under the footsteps of his servants.
"What's up?"
As soon as the servant walked to the door and raised his hand to knock on the door, Zhu Youji's voice came from the room.
The servant was slightly startled, then put down his hand and explained: "Your Highness, someone has come from the palace and said that the Queen Mother has a decree for you to enter the East Palace."
Zhu Youji was not surprised when he heard the news. After all, he had done so many tricks. If he couldn't accomplish this little thing, then there was no need for him to mess around.
The simplest reason was that he didn't believe that the Queen Mother dared to reject the idea of the ten generals uniting when the emperor was in a coma.
This is equivalent to forcing the ten generals to rebel. The Queen Mother has a calm personality. Although she has always been reclusive, she has a keen eye and is very aware of current affairs, so Zhu Youji believes that she will make the most correct decision.
The result was just as Zhu Youji thought.
"I know." Zhu Youji ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness." The servant stepped back respectfully, waiting for Zhu Youji to come out.
After briefly tidying up, Zhu Youji got dressed, pushed open the door and walked towards the front hall.
The servant followed behind without saying anything else.
Soon, Zhu Youji came to the front hall and met the eunuch who delivered the order.
When the eunuch who ordered the order saw Zhu Youji, his smile became even brighter, and he said with a smile: "Congratulations to your highness, congratulations to your highness!"
"What is the Queen Mother's message? Just tell me." Zhu Youji's attitude was calm, neither distant nor close.
Not even the eunuchs were surprised by Zhu Youji's behavior. After all, he was the most favored prince and the son of Concubine Wan Gui. Now he was in charge of the East Palace. How could such a person treat a slave well? What about your face?
The master is the master, and the slave is the slave.
He was well aware of this fact as the eunuchs who ordered the eunuchs had been hanging around in the palace for many years.
"The Queen Mother has an order for you, the Fourth Prince, to take charge of the East Palace at this time and temporarily act as the Crown Prince to assist Your Majesty in correcting the memorials." The eunuch who delivered the order still smiled and spoke out all the Queen Mother's oral instructions.
"The acting prince?"
Zhu Youji narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he knew what the Queen Mother meant.
Although the Queen Mother was under coercion, she was unwilling to compromise like this. She used the emperor's coma as an excuse to temporarily act as the crown prince, so that she could block the mouths of the ten generals without overstepping the boundaries and establishing a crown prince to satisfy her righteousness.
Throughout the dynasties, unless the Queen Mother took power and supported the puppet emperor, there would be no dynasty or dynasty. The position of the prince was determined by the Queen Mother.
What we are doing now is a last resort.
Temporarily acting as the crown prince is just a reason.
"I understand. I will pack up immediately and move to the East Palace." Zhu Youji said.
"Yes, that servant will resign." The eunuch who ordered the order bowed respectfully and said.
"Uncle Wu, send this father-in-law off," Zhu Youji ordered.
"Your Highness, you're welcome." The messenger nodded quickly.
"My father-in-law, please come this way." Uncle Wu sent a message to the father-in-law to leave.
On the other side, Liu Ruyan also came to the courtyard of the two saints and met her biological mother again.
"Miss Dongfang, Elder Liu." Liu Ruyan looked at the two of them and spoke slowly.
Dongfang Bai knew Liu Ruyan's identity and was about to speak when Liu Yuming spoke first.
"You came?"
"Shouldn't have come."
Liu Ruyan looked at Liu Yuming and said, "But I'm still here."
"Since we're here, let's talk inside."
Liu Yuming sighed softly and walked into the room first.
Liu Ruyan followed in.
Although Dongfang Bai didn't know why, he also walked in.
