【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

No one has ever seen a secret army. On the surface, the Yingyang Guard executes first and reports later. It is authorized by the emperor and is responsible for patrolling, arresting, reconnaissance, arresting, collecting military intelligence, etc. The most important task is to monitor various officials, which makes many officials grit their teeth, but they can do nothing about it.

Father Zhao was also panicking, but he forced himself to cheer her up and comfort her, "It's okay, it's okay. The Eagle Guards are never so friendly when they arrest people. They either ride or drag the prisoners. It looks like he's fine."

"It's all your fault, you old man. I told you to change jobs but you refused to listen. If you had known more people, you wouldn't be like a headless fly now." Mother Zhao reached out and hit Father Zhao a few times.

"Yes, yes, it's my fault."

On the other side, Yun Xi and the other seven were sent to a side hall next to the imperial study in the palace to wait.

There was no one else in the side hall. Zhao Taoyao looked around curiously, then remembered to ask the purpose of coming here, "Auntie Yun, what are we ordinary people doing in the palace?"

"I'm here to help the five of them find their relatives. You better behave yourself and tell them everything you can about how you helped them." Yun Xi reminded her, "But don't act too hard, okay?"

"Okay."

Zhao Taoyao and Lu Da looked at each other, then looked away, their faces flushed.

Yun Xi invited everyone to sit on stools around the stove and warm themselves. The palace servants brought tea and snacks. If you are thirsty or hungry, you can eat and drink. "Don't drink too much water. It will be troublesome to go to the toilet."

"OK."

The five of them were obedient at this moment. The rebellious boy Lu Er was very sensible at this time and did not dare to make trouble.

Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. I was taken to the palace without having eaten lunch. The palace maids brought me snacks and also a table of meals, which was a veritable imperial meal. From the kind attitude of the palace maids, it is not difficult to see that Emperor Dongpu was not harsh to ordinary people, and was even very considerate.

It was not until after four o'clock in the afternoon that someone took them to the toilet and then took them directly to wait outside the imperial study, so that they would not be scared to wet their pants by the emperor's domineering aura.

Yun Xi raised her head slightly and took a curious look inside, then quickly lowered her head. Because of the screen, she could not see anything.

The seal was sealed on the 26th day of the 12th lunar month and would not be opened until the 10th day of the 1st lunar month. Unexpectedly, he was called to the palace during the Chinese New Year.

At this time, in the imperial study were Prince Bao Shen Jin, Minister of War Wu Zheng, Earl of Yuanren Li Zhendong, Marquis of Guanqing Zhen Weiguo, and the obese Eighth Prince Shen Li.

At this time, they stood in the imperial study, waiting in confusion.

Prince Bao muttered to himself that the emperor had disturbed him from enjoying the singing and dancing and eating delicious food.

Wu Zheng's face was serious and he didn't smile.

Uncle Yuanren's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.

Marquis Guanqing closed his eyes and dozed off.

Only the eighth prince was strolling around in the imperial study, looking as if he could not stand still. He was truly a dandy.

"Your Majesty has arrived~"

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Shunde shouted, and everyone inside and outside the room stood up straight.

Shen Heng walked in quickly with square steps, followed by Zhang Deshun and Wei Dongli. Several ministers including the eighth prince knelt down and saluted.

"Everyone else stand up, and Old Eight kneels."

The majestic voice frightened the eighth prince so much that he dared not move.

Prince Bao stood up and immediately shouted, "Your Majesty, it's New Year's Day, what's the matter that requires calling us out of our warm beds?"

Shen Heng glanced at him calmly, "You're still thinking about having fun. Dongpu's kingdom is almost gone."

Prince Bao blinked his big eyes, "What? What happened to Jiangshan? Your Majesty, is there a problem at the border?" Don't let it affect his fun.

There were two generals guarding the border, so it was reasonable for him to make such a guess.

"Wei Dongli, tell me about it."

Wei Dongli walked forward with his head lowered and explained the whole story clearly.

"what!"

Now everyone was furious. Prince Bao jumped up and said with his teeth bared, "Is this true? I have a granddaughter? This is great!" He did not feel sad at all about losing his grandson.

The Minister of War's face turned pale, filled with shame and indignation. "What misfortune for our family! Your Majesty, I am ashamed. I failed to discover the problems in the inner chamber in time. Please punish me."

Marquis Yuanren knelt down decisively. Marquis Guanqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "So my daughter has been replaced?"

Shen Heng looked at Yuan Renbo, "Li Zhendong? What do you want to say?"

Earl Yuanren stammered, as if he had something to hide. "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. Why not ask the children to come over and take a look?"

Shen Heng cast his gaze towards the Eighth Prince with extreme indifference, "Call the seven of them in."

Yun Xi and the others lowered their heads as they entered the hall, knelt down and kowtowed, "Long live our emperor!"

This damn feudal society, it is so shameful to kneel before a peer. If you don't kneel, you will lose your head. Compared with dignity, the head is more important. He who knows the times is a hero.

"Stand up, you kids, raise your heads."

Lu Da and his companions only felt that the voice was full of majesty. They raised their heads tremblingly, their foreheads covered with dense beads of sweat, and they lowered their brows and dared not look around.

"Hi~"

"This little doll looks just like my mother!"

Prince Bao exclaimed.

Shen Heng glanced over and saw Lu Er and Lu Xiaowu.

Lu Ermei didn't look like a man, and reminded him of the dancer. As for Lu Xiaowu, he did have some similarities with the late Concubine Zhen.

"Your Majesty, look, this is undoubtedly my granddaughter."

Prince Bao was very enthusiastic and direct. He walked over to Lu Xiaowu and skillfully picked up the child. Lu Xiaowu turned his head to see that his family was there. He smiled with his teeth showing and said sweetly, "Hello, Grandpa."

"Your Majesty, look how well behaved this child is! Your uncle, the Emperor, shouldn't you give her some reward? Our little girl should have been a princess of the royal family, but look at what tattered clothes she's wearing now. And her face, huh? It's very round."

I was about to say that the child was thin, but after taking a closer look, I found that he was chubby and well-fed.

Shen Heng retracted his gaze and found Lu Xiaowu staring at him curiously. Roar! This little guy is so foolish and bold.

"Uncle Emperor, have you decided just yet? You're not going to verify it anymore?"

"What do you want to verify? Your Majesty, you must have checked everything clearly, otherwise you wouldn't have asked us to come." Prince Bao had absolute trust in his nephew, and the little girl's appearance said it all.

Shen Heng was at a loss for words. Except for special circumstances, the prince's granddaughter was usually only given the title of county lady or county baron.

Prince Bao looked up at the sky. Isn’t this a special situation?

Shen Heng said lovingly, "After the seal is opened, please write a letter to request the seal."

This was a promise. Prince Bao grinned, put the child down, and said to Xiao Wu, "Quickly kowtow to the emperor and thank him."

Lu Xiaowu turned and looked at Yun Xi inquiringly. Yun Xi nodded gently. Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. The fat baby ran to the back of the desk and stood beside the emperor. He knelt down and bowed deeply. "Xiao Wu wishes the emperor a prosperous new year, a house full of wealth, a long life, a long life? Immortality, and a lot of money. Give me the red envelope~"
