When the royal guards escorting the imperial edict stopped in front of the palace, Chu Tianjiao was already standing on the steps in front of the main hall.
Watching the old eunuch holding the golden scroll high step by step as he walked into the school grounds, she just stood motionless with her eyebrows slightly raised.
The old eunuch's eyes swept over her little face, and he seemed a little dissatisfied with her coldness. He raised the imperial edict in his hand and said sharply, "The Red Flame King accepts the edict!"
"If the prince is not at home, it's the same thing if you read it to me!" Chu Tianjiao replied calmly.
The old eunuch was dissatisfied, but he did not dare to provoke her. He immediately shook off the imperial edict. All the guards and servants behind Chu Tianjiao knelt down, but Chu Tianjiao still stood as straight as a tree, without bending his knees.
Go up.
"Bold!" A guard behind the old eunuch suddenly changed his expression and asked loudly, "Why don't you kneel after seeing the imperial edict?!"
"Since Tianjiao arrived in the northwest, his legs have been affected by the cold and he can't kneel down!" Chu Tianjiao glanced sideways at the leader of the Royal Forest Army, "The doctor said, my knees can't bend. If the general doesn't believe it, he might as well wait until he meets the prince in person.
Ask, if Tianjiao tells a lie, I will let you handle it!"
Blame He Lanji?!
The leader of the Royal Forest Army thought that he would not dare to be more courageous, and considering Chu Tianjiao's status as a princess, even if he knew that she was lying, what could he do?!
Is it possible to kick her to her knees?!
God, who doesn't know that the Northwest King dotes on this little princess to no end. He pays high prices for seeds and sends feathers as soon as possible. If he knew that he dared to do something to her little princess, it would be strange not to tear him apart.
Feeling helpless, the leader of the Royal Forest Army could only retreat to his original position dejectedly.
How could the old eunuch not understand these things? He immediately pretended not to have seen it, shook off the imperial edict and coughed, "By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that the Queen Mother of Anping passed away and the whole country was mourned. He ordered the northwest king He Lanji to return to Beijing today to pay tribute to the emperor.
The Queen Mother attends the funeral..."
Chu Tianjiao received the imperial edict and immediately gave the order loudly, "My father-in-law and all the imperial guards have worked hard to deliver the edict. Please come to the hall and have a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue!"
After that, she turned around and left without looking back.
The old eunuch only thought that she had sent someone to notify He Lanji and was not surprised. He immediately led everyone into the hall to drink tea.
Unexpectedly, they drank until after the noon meal. Not only was Chu Tianjiao nowhere to be seen, but no one came to call them for a meal. This old eunuch often walked out of the palace and was flattered in every possible way wherever he went. However, today he was treated like this
He was so angry that he saw a young maid coming in to refill the tea. He immediately waved her over and asked loudly, "Why are your princes and princesses always missing?!"
