[There is one. Master, do you remember what Xiao Fuzi told you a while ago? He discovered that a eunuch named Xiao Yinzi was secretly spying on you.]
They even said this little silversmith's identity was suspicious?
"I remember he said that Xiao Yinzi entered the palace around the same time as him, and the two even interacted privately. Ever since Xiao Yinzi was transferred to serve the Fourth Prince's palace, she's been like a completely different person."
This little eunuch was also secretly trying to find out about me.
He was absolutely right when he said that Xiao Yinzi was like a completely different person. The Xiao Yinzi he knew had been replaced by the current Xiao Yinzi, who looked eight or nine parts like him, after entering the Fourth Prince's palace.
However, this little silver boy, like his father, was a fake palace maid and a fake eunuch.
"Is Emperor Mingxi indirectly helping Yue Ying support his wife and children?"
The fourth prince was surrounded by his own people; otherwise, how could he, an unfavored prince with little real power, have accomplished such great things?
It must be said that among the emperors of these six kingdoms, Gan Sheng was indeed a master strategist; his plan almost succeeded.
Moonlight nodded in agreement.
Of the emperors of these six kingdoms, only the short and ugly emperor of the Eastern Yi could rival Gan Sheng in cunning and treachery.
The remarks made by Yue Fuguang and the system were soon placed on Emperor Mingxi's desk.
Crash! Bang!
With the moonlight gone, Emperor Mingxi unleashed his fury.
The Crown Prince and Qian Gui exchanged a glance, both agreeing that it would be better for the Junior Tutor to remain in court and observe the situation, as His Majesty, no matter how angry he was, had to keep quiet.
Unlike now, the two of them are the only ones present to vent their anger, and they might soon suffer collateral damage!
The two of them lowered their heads even further, trying to minimize their presence.
Xie Zhiyan looked at his toes and the blue four-clawed python robe and sighed inwardly. Today's clothes seemed a bit too 'flashy' and not conducive to invisibility!
Sure enough, just as he thought of this, Emperor Mingxi's voice came from above, "Crown Prince, go and tell your mother to manage the harem well."
Especially…
Considering Yue Ying's possible methods, the people under the Empress's command might not be effective against him.
Turning to Qian Gonggong, he instructed, "Qian Gui, go find Ying Er and tell him to take some men to guard Xinrong Palace. Not even a fly can escape from inside!"
Suddenly, the Dayan Imperial Palace was under tight surveillance both inside and out, with Emperor Mingxi's men closely monitoring every area.
Faced with the sudden influx of countless eyes, Yue Fuguang remained completely calm.
She still leisurely strolled towards Hongwen Hall with her two older sisters.
[Host, hasn't Grandpa Yu found you a study companion yet?]
"It's not that we didn't find the right people, it's that there are too many wolves and not enough meat. There are only two spots, but nearly a hundred men and women have applied. How do you expect us to choose?"
Does the host have someone in mind?
"Yes, but I'll confirm once I see the person."
Tomorrow is the auspicious day for digging potatoes, as chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, and people from all walks of life, including officials and their families, will be present.
The location was the Fengtian Hall, which was also the only place where ordinary people could get close to the imperial palace.
During major festivals, in order to demonstrate the royal family's willingness to share joy with the people, the royal family would open the Fengtian Hall, which is the closest hall to the palace within the imperial city.
In Yue Fuguang's opinion, it's just that the royal family wants to show off and needs a free audience!
Upon arriving at Hongwen Hall, Yue Fuguang did not go to class with her two older sisters. Instead, she was stopped by the Minister of Rites, who explained the situation to her. Afterward, she headed east with Zhang Zhongping towards the outskirts of the palace.
[Host, wouldn't you consider this a rehearsal for tomorrow's event?]
Yue Fuguang said quietly, "Isn't this just a rehearsal? Now the whole city of Shangjing is buzzing with the news that Dayan has discovered a grain yield of a thousand catties per mu."
You'll see, tomorrow most of the people in Beijing will probably flock here.
When the two arrived at Fengtian Hall, Yue Fuguang found that she was the last one to arrive again, and the Dayan emperor and his ministers were already lined up in neat rows.
Several hundred people stood solemnly, even their official robes were almost brand new. You ask Yue Fuguang how she knew? Because she saw that the few 'impoverished' officials standing at the end of the line were not wearing their old official robes today.
The moonlight made no attempt to keep her waiting awkwardly. Zhang Zhongping led her forward, and when they passed the royal palace, she saw that even the Ming King, who was 'long-term ill,' appeared with a pale face.
The Prince Kang, who was reprimanded and confined by His Majesty and whose title was demoted... Oh, he should now be called Prince Jing, Jing meaning quiet.
Prince Jing also arrived. As the youngest son of the family, this Prince Jing looked only a few years older than Emperor Mingxi, and he was remarkably well-preserved.
The way these two were looking at her was a little strange. If eyes could speak, they must have been holding a thousand unspoken words.
Moonlight had no interest in deciphering their countless words, and its gaze did not linger on them for even a second longer.
Finally, he stood side by side with the Crown Prince, with Emperor Mingxi standing on the jade steps in front of them.
All personnel were present, and Zhang Zhongping, the Minister of Rites, and Yun Tianxing, the Director of the Imperial Observatory, began rehearsing according to the procedure.
It was said that no incense offerings were required, but the emperor had already offered incense before Yue Fuguang arrived, and Xuanmingzi temporarily took over the role of 'incense-watching boy' in front of the large incense burner.
The entire process, omitting the ritual of burning paper offerings to the heavens, took more than an hour. Even though she is in excellent health now, standing still is much more tiring than walking for two hours.
Yue Fuguang turned around with a weary expression and saw that some elderly people who were about the same age as her grandfather did not seem tired at all.
I have to secretly admire how well the older folks can stand!
[Host, the morning court session usually lasts for two or three hours. This short time is nothing special for these old men who are used to standing.]
You find it hard to go from extravagance to frugality; you lack experience.
"Don't you think it's because I'm bored? Without any gossip to distract me, standing here gets more and more tiring."
The biggest surprise will definitely have to wait until tomorrow.
"What's that?" Yue Fuguang asked, gazing in one direction.
Following his granddaughter's words, Yu Chongshan looked over and saw that the main hall of the palace, called the Treasures Hall, was filled with guards holding halberds, layer upon layer.
The armor and weapons worn by these guards actually looked better than those of the guards who escorted Xie Zhiyao to the marriage alliance.
The leader of these people was Shen Kang, whom she knew. He looked over at the moonlight and bowed respectfully from afar.
Before Chongshan could speak, they heard the Crown Prince behind them say, "The Treasures Pavilion currently has those eight pots of potatoes that were moved from the Junior Tutor's residence yesterday."
"Potatoes? I thought His Majesty had some kind of treasure inside!"
Xie Zhiyan smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice slightly, saying, "Everything in this Rare Treasures Pavilion is characterized by the word 'rare'."
If we're talking about treasures, the real treasures are in my father's private treasury.
Xie Zhiyan, as a son, is ruthless when it comes to betraying his own father.
Emperor Mingxi: Having you is truly my blessing!
Seeing that Yue Fuguang remained unmoved, he couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, would you like to go in and take a look?"
