Eunuch Xia worked hard and showed great style. A group of people came to Shen's house. Someone saw someone on the road who looked not like an eunuch who came to deliver an order, but like an imperial envoy.
As soon as Shen Mingzhu came to the road, Eunuch Xia immediately decided to give someone a warning. He said with a smile but not a smile: "The princess is very busy. Our family has been waiting for a long time with the Queen's decree."
Shen Mingzhu immediately knew that Eunuch Xia was deliberately looking for trouble. The eunuchs who came from the palace to announce the edict had to greet them in advance and send someone to report. Then the ministers' homes would prepare incense tables to welcome the eunuchs who announced the edict.
But Eunuch Xia came so casually, without sending the leading eunuch to report, so others would naturally think that he was just here to deliver a message.
Shen Mingzhu smiled lightly, "If I come out without changing my clothes, then Eunuch Xia will probably blame me for not being respectful enough. I wonder what message the Queen has."
She strolled forward and sat down at the main seat, without even saluting Eunuch Xia.
Originally, Eunuch Xia thought that he was following the order of the Queen. Why should Shen Mingzhu give him half a salute? You must know that when he went to another house, even the prince would salute him as an equal.
He is a brother-in-law.
She is a princess with a foreign surname, but she really thinks of herself as a royal.
Eunuch Xia immediately became unhappy and said, "Princess, our family is here to announce the Queen Mother's decree. It is not just a message."
Then he raised the Yizhi in his hand, trying to get Shen Mingzhu to kneel down.
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "Since it is Yizhi, why didn't Eunuch Xia say hello in advance?"
After saying that, she ordered the steward, "Be put on trial immediately. If word gets out that we were so careless, even if the Queen doesn't blame her, it will be a shame."
Although she said this, Eunuch Xia felt that she was talking about herself and blamed herself for not having someone report her first.
Eunuch Xia's face was a little confused. If he said that this was indeed his fault, it would not be a good thing if he tried to reason about it.
He just relied on the fact that these royal relatives did not dare to break up with the palace people and confront them in court, so he used this method many times to extort a lot of money.
Those relatives of the emperor all know that although they are relatives of the emperor, the eunuchs are close to the emperor, even closer than his sons and wives. There is no good fruit to be gained by offending them.
Because of this, even if they deliberately seek trouble, those people usually choose to spend money to settle the matter.
And they just want the money, and they won't care about it after they get the money.
Today, he also wanted to use this method to embarrass Shen Mingzhu, but he didn't expect that Shen Mingzhu didn't seem to buy his account at all, but actually wanted to settle things with him.
Shen Mingzhu looked at him with a smile. Did Eunuch Xia think that he was hiding behind and doing those things that no one else knew about?
If she doesn't even know this, wouldn't it mean that she has lived for so many years in vain? Cats and dogs can kill her.
Eunuch Xia felt a little hairy at the sight of her, and felt that her black eyes were like a bottomless cold pool, which might suck him in.
He felt uncomfortable, so he moved his steps and stood in another direction, trying to avoid Shen Mingzhu's direct gaze, as if this could also avoid her invisible coercive attack.
