The eunuchs who managed to get ahead in the palace were the best among human beings.

Eunuch Deng knew that both King Qi and the future Princess of Qi, Zhao Ruxi, were loved by the emperor. He was especially willing to sell a good deal to the unmarried couple.

So he ran to Suiping Bo's Mansion early in the morning to declare the imperial edict, then left the city and drove straight to Nanyang. He planned to rush to Nanyang before the Yamen went down to the Yamen and go to the state Yamen to read the imperial edict.

If such a glorious thing were just announced by the Zhao family, Zhao Ruxi and their servants, wouldn't it be a night walk in brocade clothes? Everyone in the state government must know Zhao Ruxi's new identity. She is the future Princess Qi, the royal wife, these people should

It would be better to be more respectful to her.

Before going to the Yamen in the morning, Eunuch Deng and his party entered Nanyang City and quickly arrived at the Yamen.

In the yamen, everyone was packing their things and getting ready to go home when they saw the yamen guard rolling in and stuttering to Liu Hongyu who was about to go down the steps: "Sir, sir, a father-in-law came to the door and said

, He said he was here to read out the holy edict."

Liu Hongyu stumbled and almost fell down the steps. Fortunately, he was supported by a servant.

Cai Yaozong, who was about to step out of the threshold, had one foot outside the door and one foot inside the door, and was also stunned.

They have lived so long that they have never been declared an imperial edict, and they have never seen a creature like the father-in-law. Although Cai Yaozong is from the prince's faction, he is just a little guy and has no qualifications to meet the prince.

The closest they got to the emperor and the palace people was during the imperial examination.

"Quick, please." Liu Hongyu said, wishing he could give this government officer a slap in the face.

This is an imperial edict. Who dares to fake it? No one can pretend to be my father-in-law. These government officials are so shameless and dare to block people from coming in. He is so angry.

With that said, he ignored the government officials and walked out quickly, preparing to invite the people in personally.

Fortunately, the yamen servant who reported the news was a little stunned. The other yamen servant felt uncomfortable all over when facing the eunuchs and a group of imperial guards standing at the door of the yamen. These were people around the emperor, and they were here to read out the imperial edict. It was as if the emperor was here in person.

.Is it really okay for them to block entry like this and have to inform a state official and require his permission before entry?

After thinking about it, he invited the group of people in, and happened to meet Liu Hongyu who came out to welcome them.

"This is Mr. Liu, our prefect," the Yamen servant quickly introduced.

"Your Majesty Liu Hongyu, I wonder what I call my father-in-law?" Liu Hongyu bowed his head with a smile and said hello to the guards, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Eunuch Deng had a sullen face and was already on the verge of going berserk.

If Liu Hongyu hadn't been Zhao Ruxi's superior officer and colleague, and wanted to give Liu Hongyu some face for Zhao Ruxi's sake, Eunuch Deng would have been kept out by the government officials, and he would have gone crazy a long time ago.

He represents the emperor.

When the imperial edict arrived, the officials didn't even let them in, and had to make them wait here to wait for the announcement. He had never received such treatment since he had been a eunuch for so long. Many wealthy families in the capital did not dare to do this.

Although he didn't make a fuss, he was unhappy in his heart and wanted to suppress Liu Hongyu's arrogance for Zhao Ruxi.

He said to Liu Hongyu with a smile on his face: "Mr. Liu, the yamen is well guarded. Our family has been announcing decrees in the capital for seven or eight years, and we have never been stopped outside. This is the first time for the eldest daughter to get on the sedan chair."

It seems that we have to send Mr. Liu to the border to guard the city. In this way, our country will have no worries."

Liu Hongyu broke out in cold sweat and almost knelt on the ground.

He forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and explained: "The government officials in a small place have never seen the world and don't understand the rules. They don't know that they should directly invite my father-in-law in and ask my father-in-law for his forgiveness."

Only then did the yamen servant who came to report the news react, kneel down on the ground with a plop, and said to Eunuch Deng: "Eunuch, please forgive me. I mean, I really didn't mean it. I just don't know what to do."

The other one also knelt down and begged for mercy.

Eunuch Deng ignored them and went straight into the yamen. He stopped moving in the courtyard and asked, "Zhao Zhiwei, is Mr. Zhao serving as an official here? Our family came here specially from the capital today to announce the decree to Mr. Zhao."

Cai Yaozong had been guessing what Eunuch Deng had come to issue. Now when he heard him asking Zhao Ruxi, he suddenly felt something bad in his heart.

Regardless of whether this imperial edict is related to the King of Qi, or the emperor ordered Zhao Ruxi to be appointed as an official in the capital, the eunuch originally had an angry look on his face, but when he mentioned Zhao Ruxi, his face was full of warmth. The imperial edict was definitely a good thing for Zhao Ruxi.

When Zhao Ruxi first came, he felt sorry for Zhao Ruxi many times. Although he later relented and the two parties reconciled, once Zhao Ruxi gained power, he might take revenge on him.

He was worried in his heart, but he moved very quickly physically. He quickly turned around and went up the steps, rushed into Zhao Ruxi's room, and shouted: "Master Zhao, someone from the palace has announced an edict to you."

He is more than one step older than Zhao Ruxi, and he is an official of the same level. Normally it would be good if he does not consider himself a senior, and he would never use the honorific title to Zhao Ruxi. But this time, he even used the honorific title.

Zhou Chun and Ma Sheng were busy with the wine shop during this time. Zhao Ruxi still had Xiang Ming and Lu Yun with him. These three people were guards, and their only mission was to protect their master.

Like Zhou Chun and others who are nosy.

Therefore, Liu Hongyu went out and brought Eunuch Deng and others in. Zhao Ruxi, who was concentrating on his work, didn't know, and Xiang Ming and others ignored it. They just thought that it was time for the office to go out and everyone was leaving, so there was some noise outside.

But they didn't expect that Cai Yaozong, who usually put on airs, rushed in like a young boy and shouted about announcing the decree. The three of them were moved and looked at Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi was finishing up her water conservancy map. If something went wrong in the last part, she would have to redraw the entire map.

So Cai Yaozong came in hurriedly, but she ignored him at all. He calmed down, his face didn't change at all, and he finished the last stroke steadily with his hand. He looked at it carefully, then put the pen on the pen holder and raised his head.

Asked: "Master Cai, what did you just say?"

Cai Yaozong was very convinced by Zhao Ruxi's attitude of not changing his attitude despite the collapse of the mountain.

He repeated his words with a great attitude, and reminded him in a flattering tone: "Master Zhao, go quickly. It's such a hot day. Eunuch Deng came all the way from the capital. If you wait for a long time, you will be in trouble."

Zhao Ruxi raised her eyebrows.

She thought that the imperial edict would not be so fast and would have to take many turns. Unexpectedly, Xiao Lingyan just returned to the capital yesterday, and the imperial edict would be issued today.

"Thank you, Mr. Cai, for reminding me." Zhao Ruxi said and walked out quickly. He saw the palace's publicity eunuch Deng Gonggong standing expressionlessly under the shade of the trees in the yard. Liu Hongyu accompanied his smiling face and said something.
