Eunuch Liu's oral instructions have been delivered, but looking at the situation, he has to deliver it to the fourth princess alone. Liu Song walked out of the side hall and came to the main hall: "Four princesses, this is before the death of Queen Wende. We must not leave without you."
present."
The fourth princess didn't know that Eunuch Liu had returned to the position of general manager, thinking that he was still working as a servant in the palace: "You little slave, how dare you reprimand me!"
"Our family is dedicated to..."
"Go aside, don't block my way." The fourth princess pushed Eunuch Liu aside, wanting to teach Mingruo a lesson first.
In her opinion, it was all Xiaojiu's fault that her mother was deposed. Everything was fine at first, but something happened to her as soon as she entered the capital. It was not who she was. (Ming Ruo: Congratulations on your guess, but there is no prize!)
"It is disrespectful for the four princesses to despise the emperor's power." Eunuch Liu said angrily, "Someone, please capture the four princesses and hand them over to the clan mansion."
Although the eldest princess is dissatisfied with the fourth princess, her sisters are all harmed. If the fourth princess is bullied, is she still far away from this day?
A crime of respect."
The third prince's concubine usually walked closer to the eldest princess, tugged on the eldest princess's sleeves, and whispered: "Elder sister, Eunuch Liu is here to pass on the father's instructions, admonishing us to abide by the etiquette and guard the mother's soul until the end."
filial piety."
The eldest princess trembled and took a few steps back, wanting to beg for mercy for the fourth princess. But facing Eunuch Liu, she really couldn't lose her face.
"Our family has to return to the palace to meet the emperor. The eldest princess must not delay our family's errands." Eunuch Liu took the imperial guards, and the imperial guards took the frightened fourth princess back to the palace.
After the first day of running-in, there were regulations everywhere on the second day. What was done was done at what time, and everything went smoothly step by step.
Mingruo was impatient to chat with the concubines and wives, so she went to the main hall on time to burn incense. After that, she pondered over the blueprints of the 'educational toy' in the Pearl Pavilion, planning to choose the most brain-burning one to attack Master Yu, the master of shipbuilding.
Lu Qiaojiang sent over a few ready-made items, and Si Haochen took the lead as a 'guinea pig' to try them out. It didn't take more than a cup of tea, and he was able to play smoothly.
"Have you ever played this before?" Mingruo held up his chin and watched Si Haochen's fingers flexibly assemble the 'Dragon Tail Wiggle' that had just been delivered.
"No." Si Haochen shook his head.
"Then why are you so comfortable dismantling and assembling it?"
"Just think about the position of each piece in your mind and restore it in order." Si Haochen looked at the half-assembled 'cube' in his hand, "However, this one is indeed more complicated than the previous ones and needs to be thought about carefully.
.”
"I don't want to talk to you now." Mingruo felt that his IQ had been crushed. He was taught by his seventh brother for a long time before he could figure out which piece to take apart first. His Royal Highness, Prince Yun, can put it back together after just thinking about it.
…
"I only know how to play with this thing after I get it, but it was all designed by you. Naturally, you are smarter." His Highness Prince Yun's desire to survive is very strong.
"Haha." These are really not designed by myself.
Yan Zhaobai came in from the outside and saw the various Kong Mingsuo on the table. His eyelids jumped: "Are these prepared for Master Yu?"
"No." Mingruo shook his head.
"Oh." Yan Zhaobai felt that if all these were given to that strange old man, he would probably become even more "lost in playing with things."
"I plan to pick the three most difficult ones for him." Mingruo said.
"Just give him a similar one first." Yan Zhaobai felt his head swell when he saw these pieces of wood.
"Okay." Mingruo doesn't understand Master Yu either, so he should listen to his fifth brother.
"What's the matter?" Si Haochen closed the last wooden block perfectly.
Yan Zhaobai knocked on his forehead: "I almost forgot about the business. Eunuch Liu is here to announce the decree, and Xiaojiu goes to listen to it."
"Fifth brother, do you know what the decree is?" Mingruo frowned.
"According to Eunuch Liu, Yan Minghui should be punished."
"Then we should go to the Princess's Mansion to announce the decree, why come here to announce it?" Mingruo was a little confused.
"What do you think?" Yan Zhaobai had a smile on his lips.
"Hmm..." Mingruo suddenly realized, "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"
Yan Zhaobai raised his forehead: "Are you a monkey?"
"No, I am an audience member." Mingruo spread his hands.
"..." Yan Zhaobai was unable to refute.
Mingruo walked into the side hall and knelt in the hall with Yan Zhaobai.
When Eunuch Liu saw that everyone had arrived, he cleared his throat and said, "By God's will, the emperor issued an edict: The fourth daughter of the emperor, Yan Minghui, relied on her kindness and magnanimity, and despised the emperor's authority. She was unfaithful and unfilial in her words and deeds in front of the late empress."
He has braved the great injustice of the world and will not be forgiven for his heinous crimes. Now all his titles are revoked, he is demoted to a commoner, and he is handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for questioning..."
After Eunuch Liu finished announcing his decree, the palace was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop. The eldest princess knew that Minghui would be punished, but she didn't expect that she would be directly demoted to a commoner.
After Eunuch Liu finished announcing his decree, the others returned to the main hall to continue the vigil.
Mingruo asked Aunt Zipei to serve tea: "How are you, father?"
"Your Majesty is fine, but I criticized him too harshly. I am afraid that Your Majesty will be exhausted." Eunuch Liu could not hide his worry.
Mingruo took Lao Tie out of his 'sleeve pocket' and handed it to Eunuch Liu: "Let him rest while watching his father."
Although this was a small snake, its color and appearance showed it was poisonous. Eunuch Liu's hands trembled, but he still did not dare to take it.
"Father raised it before, and it doesn't bite people." It can shoot heads and turn people to stone, but Ming Ruo didn't say anything because he was afraid of scaring Eunuch Liu. (Eunuch Liu: Thank you for not telling me.)
Eunuch Liu tremblingly hugged Lao Tie with his sleeves, and forced a smile at Mingruo: "Then the old slave will return to the palace."
"Um."
Eunuch Liu asked the young eunuch to find a basket with a lid, while he held Lao Tie on his sleeves and got into the carriage.
After a while, the little eunuch came back with a food box: "Eunuch Liu, I didn't find the basket. Please see if this food box can be used."
"Let the food box be the food box." Eunuch Liu carefully moved Lao Tie into the food box, "Master Tie, please forgive me for now. When you return to the palace, I will make a brocade nest for you. Please don't bite me.
.”
Lao Tie felt that the old eunuch was tired of grinding and chirping, so he slept in a pile in the food box.
"The old slave has closed the lid." Eunuch Liu gently closed the lid and let out a sigh of relief. He always felt that with this lid, there was more safety and security.
Lao Tie: This broken wooden cover is vulnerable.
Eunuch Liu took Lao Tie back to Wuxia Palace and said that the Ninth Princess had sent Lord Tie.
Although Yan Yuan didn't know what Master Tie was doing, he was sent by his daughter and he had to see him: "Xuan, come in."
"Yes." Eunuch Liu eagerly took the food box over and opened the lid.
Yan Yuan saw the little green snake in the food box, stretched out his hand, and Lao Tie directly wrapped it around Yan Yuan's wrist.
Eunuch Liu's hair stood up at the sight: "Your Majesty... this..."
"No problem." Yan Yuan asked, "Why did Ruo'er send Master Tie here?"
"I want you to rest early." Eunuch Liu quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
