"Princess, your Majesty." The housekeeper from the other courtyard hurried in, "Eunuch Zhang came to the palace and said he was here to announce the decree. How do you think we should prepare?"
The housekeeper of the other courtyard has always been responsible for taking care of the other courtyard, as well as the orchards and fields on the two surrounding hills. He has never dealt with matters related to the palace, and he doesn't know where to start.
"There is no need to prepare anything. Just say that the prince is dealing with important matters and let him wait." Mingruo had seen Zhang Jinliang come to the mansion to announce his decree too many times, so she was quite familiar with this business.
"Yes, Princess." The housekeeper walked a few steps and came back, "Are you going to display the incense table and summon everyone in the house?"
"No, you should do whatever you want, don't pay too much attention to him." Mingruo waved his hand.
"Yes." The butler muttered as he went to the front hall to pass the message, "Is this really okay? Then the father-in-law came with the imperial edict, wouldn't he be angry?"
I have announced so many edicts to Prince Yun, but every time I have been embarrassed. It is so troublesome that Zhang Jinliang dare not bring his entourage when he announces edicts to Prince Yun - it is better for him to know the shame, and he will not be able to hold his head up even when he returns to the palace.
This time, Zhang Jinliang was politely invited into the main hall and served tea and snacks. Zhang Jinliang was so flattered that he was afraid that it would rain red in the sky after a while!
The housekeeper of the other courtyard stepped forward and saluted: "Eunuch Zhang, the prince is dealing with important matters. Please wait for a moment."
"Okay, okay." Zhang Jinliang quickly stood up and returned the greeting, feeling reassured - Prince Yun was not absent from the other courtyard, and he himself was not kicked out. Wasn't it just a matter of waiting for a while? As long as the decree was announced, he was willing to wait!
The housekeeper of the other courtyard was also surprised. This eunuch was dressed in an extraordinary way. He looked like the eunuch beside the emperor. He didn't expect that he was so polite to him without any pretense.
Zhang Jinliang sat sideways on one third of the chair. He did not dare to eat the snacks that were served and only took a few sips of tea.
After waiting for about half an hour, Si Haochen arrived late.
Zhang Jinliang hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I'm going to bow to His Highness Prince Yun, Your Majesty Jin An."
"Get up, what's the matter?" Si Haochen sat down at the main seat.
Zhang Jinliang announced the edict at the top of his voice. After reciting the word "Qin this", his heart that had been hanging finally fell back into his stomach. He stepped forward and placed the edict respectfully on the table beside Prince Yun. He stepped back and said: "
The slave resigns."
"Go." Si Haochen waved his hand.
Affected by the psychological shadow, Zhang Jinliang retreated to the door, turned around and left. His legs and feet were very agile. He was afraid that Prince Yun would wake up and smash the imperial edict directly into his face. If that happened, he would have to return to the palace.
Immediate punishment.
Zhang Jinliang almost jogged out of the gate of the other courtyard. Before he could sit firmly on the carriage, he shouted: "Hurry up."
The young eunuch driving the carriage thought that Eunuch Zhang had been chased away by a dog. While urging his horse forward, he looked into the other courtyard and saw no vicious dog chasing him.
Now that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Zhang Jinliang sweated a lot and took off his hat to fan himself. The oil lamp that was originally hanging on the roof of the car suddenly fell down and hit the top of his head.
"Ouch." Zhang Jinliang reflexively covered the hit area and touched a bulging bump. He carefully moved his hand in front of him and saw no blood, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eunuch Zhang, what's wrong with you?" The little eunuch who was driving the carriage stopped when he heard Zhang Jinliang's exclamation, feeling a little uneasy.
"It's okay, hurry up and catch your car!"
"Yes." The little eunuch responded.
Zhang Jinliang saw the oil lamp that had hit him on the head and dropped in the carriage. Thinking of his troubled head, he became angry and kicked the oil lamp into the corner.
"Ouch..." The oil lamp was made of thick copper, and it had just been filled with oil and it was very heavy. Zhang Jinliang accidentally kicked the "horn" and almost broke his toe.
With the experience just now, the little eunuch didn't dare to ask when he heard Eunuch Zhang shouting "Ouch" and "Ouch" in the carriage, so he just drove the carriage properly.
Mingruo was in the main courtyard, holding a needlework basket and learning embroidery from Zi Su.
When Si Haochen came back, he saw his little princess, her head slightly lowered, holding an embroidery cloth in her hand, and she was embroidering every stitch carefully.
"What is the emperor going to do again?" Mingruo asked casually.
Si Haochen handed the imperial edict to Mingruo: "Read it yourself."
Mingruo put down the embroidery bag, opened the imperial edict and looked at it. Um...yesterday afternoon the third prince and the eighth princess went to the mountains near the palace to 'hang out', and there was no news after that. The wise and powerful Emperor Danxu heard that Prince Yun was there
After staying in a nearby courtyard for a while, he ordered Prince Yun to urge the Royal Forest Army and the troops of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to find the third prince and the eighth princess as soon as possible. The reason was also reasonable, as his nephew and sister-in-law were both
Really relatives.
"Oh, we have all escaped, and we still don't want to let anyone calm down." Mingruo threw the imperial edict aside and reached for the embroidery bundle in the sewing basket, only to find that the embroidery bundle was lying with Si Haochen.
Si Haochen looked at the 'embroidery' in his hand. The navy blue satin was embroidered with a decent 'Colorful Clouds and the Moon', but his little princess creatively added a few golden stars, which was special - playful.
cute.
"Give it to me." Mingruo stretched out her tender white hands, "My first 'embroidery' will be freshly baked soon."
Si Haochen gave the embroidered bandage to Mingruo: "After embroidering it, make it into a purse for me to wear."
"I'll do it for you when the embroidery is better." This is Mingruo's first time doing embroidery. She is not skilled at needle placement or thread change. At first glance, it looks okay, but if you look closely, there are flaws everywhere.
"I want this, please make it for me." Si Haochen pinched Mingruo's cheek and sighed in his heart - it feels so good, "Ahem, I have to help you find the imperial sister this afternoon."
"I don't care whether you want to look for it or not." Ming Ruo rolled his eyes, "At first glance, someone wants to 'tell a story', let them play by themselves, they are looking for it too fast, maybe the third prince and the eighth prince
Sister is still not happy about it."
The mountains near the palace are usually kept clean. A large number of royal relatives and nobles are stationed here, and they are heavily guarded. The third prince is not stupid. He cannot take the eighth princess to play alone. How could he disappear?
'Yes.
"Did someone steal my eighth princess from the third prince, or did Emperor Danxu deliberately point out my eighth princess to other princes?" Mingruo tilted her head and asked Si Haochen.
"Probably the latter." Si Haochen poked Mingruo's forehead, "How did you get those melon seeds on your head? You're like a monkey!"
Without knowing the cause and effect, we can deduce this conclusion from just a few words in the imperial edict. It is so clear to see the nature of things.
"That imperial brother of yours doesn't do anything serious at all. He only makes little conspiracies and tricks every day, making everyone very irritable. Sooner or later, everyone will be betrayed and separated from their relatives." Ming Ruo looked at it coldly for several months and found that not a single prince was related to him.
Emperor Danxu was close to him. This emperor was truly a loner.
