Chapter 16 Finally got the crucial 3 points
16
Enter the East Palace and accompany the Crown Prince.
Not only is it attractive to the sons of criminals, it is also very attractive to many children of minor nobles.
The soldiers were all jealous and whispered to each other:
"Accompanying the emperor to the Eastern Palace, is this the treatment that the son of a criminal can have?"
"No matter how talented his father is, he may not be able to win the right to accompany him to the East Palace. His adoptive father is a ruthless man with unlimited power."
"With the merit of following the dragon, you will soar to the sky in the future."
…
Yuanruan has some baldness:
[Xiao Yueyue, wait a minute! He is your biological brother, you don't need to seek refuge with him, but you can go first. I want to find a way to help you regain your princess status.]
There was a glimmer of tenderness in Wu Yue's eyes when she looked at Yuan Ruan, and then she untied her hair without hesitation.
She half-knelt in front of the emperor and said in a hoarse voice: "I am a woman."
Crowd: !!!
What?! General Wu San's adopted son is a girl?!
Regardless of whether General Wu San was guilty of treason or not, he was clearly guilty of deceiving the emperor.
Yuanruan:!!!
I'm confused, why would he blow up his daughter? !
What about my future?
"Hahaha, good!" Only the emperor was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily twice, his voice becoming gentler, "Go wash up, and take her to learn the palace rules and etiquette as soon as possible."
The maid's posture was a little stiff when she saluted: "Yes, I understand."
Wu Yue followed the palace maid obediently with a cold face, and only smiled when he passed by Yuan Ruan.
The emperor was in a good mood and left with Yuanruan in his arms.
Not long after they walked, Yuan Ruan heard a sudden commotion in the quiet tent behind him.
I even vaguely heard some malicious intent towards Wu Yue for revealing her gender.
Soft wrinkled eyebrows:
[These people are so disgusting with their foul mouths! Brother, hurry up! Brother, rush at them! ]
emperor:……
He looked down at Yuan Ruan, who frowned and pointed at the group of generals who were whispering to each other.
The emperor was both angry and amused.
Who dares to order him like this, not to mention that the way he orders a dog is almost the same.
but……
The emperor turned around again and waved his hand.
The guards rushed over and shouted, "Who allowed you to talk nonsense in front of the saint and disturb him? Drag all of you away..."
The soldiers immediately knelt on the ground, crying and kowtowing, "I was wrong, please, please have mercy, Your Majesty." "Please, Your Majesty, spare our lives." ...
The emperor was about to leave indifferently when he heard a voice in his heart:
[With just one look, the soldiers were all scared to death. Could such a gentle brother really be a tyrant? They were trembling with fear! ]
The emperor who was about to be beheaded: ...
He coughed lightly and said, "Press it down, and give him thirty lashes!"
The bodyguard was stunned for a moment.
The soldiers kneeling on the ground burst into joy and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." "Thank you, Lord, for your grace!"
The emperor sent Yuanruan back to bed to rest.
He opened the memorial and continued to review it. When he saw one of the clauses, the emperor frowned and felt a little sad.
He ordered someone to call Song Wei.
Just as Song Wei saluted, he felt his head hit hard by a flying memorial.
Blood was pouring from Song Wei's forehead, and he didn't dare to move at all.
The emperor's cold voice came from above.
"When did it happen?"
Song Wei was confused, his mind racing, and finally he said in confusion: "Minister, it's all my fault, next time I will definitely..."
"If you don't know, don't make a false accusation!" As Yuan Ruan was sleeping next door, the emperor suppressed the urge to smash the cup and pointed at Song Wei and said, "Why is there a letter from a woman in my memorial?"
Song Wei was struck by thunder and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I, absolutely not…"
"Go down and be punished with fifty lashes of the cane." The emperor looked at Song Wei coldly, "Find out all the people involved, regardless of their official positions or titles, and confiscate their property and exterminate their entire clans."
Song Wei said quickly, "Yes."
The emperor added: "Wu Yue is my biological daughter that I have found. Immediately send troops to surround the Wu family and conduct a thorough investigation! Write a letter to inform the clan office and ask them to prepare two new jade discs for the princess."
Song Wei was dumbfounded. That little beggar was the emperor's biological daughter? How come he didn't know anything about her?!
But soon he bowed fearfully again. As expected of His Majesty, his network of intelligence was unfathomable!
At this time, the eunuch passed on the message that General Wu Yi wanted to see him.
The emperor nodded.
Wu Yi strode in and said, "Your Majesty, the test of honeycomb coal was a great success. A lump of coal of the same size can burn for three hours longer after being transformed into honeycomb coal."
"Really?!" Although he was prepared, the emperor was still very happy. "Okay. Where is the prince?"
Wu Yi continued, "Your Majesty, there is news from the west that there may be a major movement, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already packed up and set off."
The emperor hummed and frowned, "It's a bit hasty. I will tour around here for a few more days to confuse others for Zirong. General Wu, you will also go west with me this time."
"What! Your Majesty, I have to protect you..."
"This place is only a hundred miles away from the capital. If there is any danger, the four armies of the capital can come quickly to the king's aid." The emperor waved his hand, "But this is Zirong's first tour, and he is going to the west, so there are many dangers. You should keep an eye on him for me."
Wu Yi clasped his hands and said, "I accept your command."
…
…
In order to cover for the prince, the emperor's parade team wandered around for a long time.
It was not until snow fell again that the emperor slowly returned to the court.
Yuanruan was dressed warmly and lay on the windowsill, looking at the snow scene curiously.
System: [You like snow so much?]
Yuanruan: [I’m from the South.]
System: [It was snowing heavily when you came here, why didn't Ah Ruan see it? ]
Yuan Ruan: [I was almost dead then, but now it’s different. I am full of warmth and longing for the snow. I want to go out and roll around on the ground and see the giant snowman.]
The emperor, who was reviewing memorials while sitting in the carriage, paused, as if thinking about something.
An hour later, the emperor and Yuan Ruan had lunch together when suddenly there was a knock on the carriage.
The emperor motioned for the other party to come in, and a guard lifted the curtain and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."
The emperor nodded slightly, put on the cowhide felt hat for Yuanruan, and then carried him out of the carriage.
Yuan Ruan was surprised as soon as he got out of the carriage. In front of him were two big snowmen, each as tall as a man, wearing scarves and looking adorable as if they were warming themselves by the fire, and a huge snow stove.
There was also a soldier who was pressing snowballs into the shape of honeycomb coals and placing them one by one next to the two big snowmen.
The emperor held the excited Yuanruan close to the snowman.
Yuanruan fell headfirst, covered the snowman with his face, and his limbs were filled with joy.
The emperor wanted to laugh when he saw her appearance. All the anger and fatigue from reviewing memorials for a day seemed to disappear at that moment.
At this moment, he heard Yuan Ruan's inner voice again:
System: [There is one more great thing I want to tell the host! ]
[National Fortune Side Quest: Bring the lost pearl back to Daxia, (National Fortune +1) (Already completed).]
Yuanruan was so surprised that her eyes widened.
[What?! How did you accomplish this? Didn’t you still not recognize your parents as a princess?]
System: [I don’t know, but it’s already been displayed, so it won’t do you any harm.]
The emperor thought that the letter should have arrived soon and most likely the clan office would put the two people's names on the princess' jade plate. Then, he smiled with a look of great success.
Yuan Ruan: [That makes sense! Hahahaha, when the national fortune reaches 3, you can activate supernatural powers! Activate it quickly and see what my first supernatural power is! ]
The emperor's eyes lit up, this is truly a magical power!
What could it be?
