In Shouning Palace.
The fourth prince held the white piece and gently put it down, grinning and saying, "You're done."
"I don't want to play anymore!"
Ruirui on the opposite side pushed the chessboard away.
She loses every time they play chess.
"Sister, you are the eldest princess. You can't deny it! My..."
"Humph! Father is testing his seven sons in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Why aren't you there? Instead, you're playing chess with me."
Ruirui quickly changed the subject.
Recently, my father has been angry because some of the princes are incompetent.
Chengqi is not welcome in the palace.
"Big sister, are you still being reasonable? It was you who came to Shouning Palace to play chess with me. Besides, what does it have to do with me if the emperor tests my brothers? I was kicked out a long time ago."
"How is it none of your business? All of them put together are not as good as you. If you don't go, I will go and talk to my father."
Ruirui said, pretending to stand up.
"If you tell my father about me, I will tell Empress Zhen about you."
"What's wrong with me?"
"You are old enough, it's time for you to get married." The fourth prince said in the tone of an adult.
"What do you care?"
Ruirui lightly punched Liu An and then said, "Liu An, let's be honest. Those guys are really not as good as you. If you become the crown prince, then our Great Xia Dynasty will be much more stable. Even if my sister gets married, she will feel at ease."
"Big sister, do you think you are proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting? Are the losers of the big families in Kyoto not worthy of you? It doesn't matter. There are many talented people in the world. You are the eldest princess, and it is up to you to decide who to marry."
"Liu An, stop talking to me about other things!"
"You are so old now. If you don't get married now, you will miss the best age."
The fourth prince Liu An continued to finish off the enemy.
"You're looking for death!"
Ruirui waved her palm and hit Liu An.
Liu An jumped back and barely avoided Ruirui's pink jade palm.
In the palace, the brother and sister were chasing each other.
The atmosphere is joyful.
Concubine Jing sat on a chair, watching the two siblings chasing each other and eating fruit with a smile on her face.
"It's better to hit your brother as early as possible!"
On the side, Li Mu said meaningfully.
"I'll beat you to death!"
After hearing what Li Mu said, Ruirui chased even harder.
"Eunuch Li, please stop talking. Big sister misunderstood what you said."
"What's the misunderstanding?"
Li Mu was stunned.
Look at Ruirui's ferocious appearance again.
It seems like there was really a misunderstanding.
Originally, what he meant was that you should beat your younger brother as early as possible, otherwise you won't be able to beat him when he grows up.
Ruirui heard that her brother should be beaten as soon as possible, otherwise she would not be able to beat him after she got married in a few days.
How could Ruirui not be angry when talking about getting married?
It's just a pity for Liu An.
Bang!
Ruirui snatched Anmu's broom and chased Liu An to sweep.
"Oh, what a show!"
In other palaces, servants would have no right to speak.
Only Shouning Palace can be so harmonious.
This is where the two siblings act so unruly.
In other palaces, Ruirui immediately became a good baby.
The fourth prince Liu An became a transparent figure. Not to mention jumping around, he couldn't even cough.
Play around for a while.
Ruirui couldn't catch up with Liu An and went back to the palace in anger.
Shouning Palace suddenly became quiet.
Inside the main hall.
The fourth prince Liu An was flipping through a book.
"Grandma, were these books really sent in by the Ninth Prince?"
Liu An was suspicious.
The Ninth Prince was imprisoned in Prince Yu's mansion, with no power or influence and was not allowed to leave the house.
I don’t even have any secret manuals on cultivation, so how could they be sent to the palace?
Especially the "Art of War" by Sun Tzu, it is even more impossible for his father to let him touch it.
"Yes~ Your Ninth Uncle was worried that I would be bored, but he couldn't come to the palace to see me. So he asked someone to send me some books and toys."
"Grandma, were these things brought back by Eunuch Li?"
"Yes! He is the only one in our palace who has contact with your Ninth Uncle."
"Oh~"
Liu An lowered his head and thought.
Only Eunuch Li had access to these books.
It seemed like he had discovered a huge secret.
"Grandma, does Eunuch Li read these books?"
"He doesn't look!"
"Isn't he literate? Why isn't he reading? Such a wonderful book."
"How could he have the time to read? He was working all day long. When he finally had some free time, he would leave the palace to pass on my message to your Ninth Uncle."
Liu An nodded.
Then he turned around and said, "An Mu, don't you like military tactics? I'll give this to you."
In Shouning Palace, Liu An was like a master.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
An Mu happily took over the military strategy.
When I got it, I found out there were actually two books.
There is also a book called "Thirty-Six Strategies" among them.
An Mu bent even lower.
He taught him how to read and write, and also taught him martial arts, and finally gave him the book he wanted to read the most.
An Mu was deeply grateful to the Fourth Prince.
"I need your help with something."
"What's up?"
"Tell me about Eunuch Li."
In an alley in the palace, Li Lin straightened his green robe and walked towards Shouning Palace carrying a bag of flour.
On the way, the eunuchs in green and blue robes lowered their heads and walked away quickly when they saw him.
"Why does this green-robed eunuch do such heavy work himself?"
The blue-robed eunuch asked carefully.
"He is a eunuch in Shouning Palace. Shouning Palace used to be a cold palace, and he was the only eunuch in the palace. After the late emperor passed away, the master imprisoned in the palace was promoted to imperial concubine. But the cold palace is still the cold palace, so the next job is still his."
"Oh! It's so miserable to be a clerk in the cold palace!"
