"Li Fuhai, come in." Emperor Yin De shouted to the outside of the hall.

After Li Fuhai came in, Emperor Yinde ordered, "Pass on my decree, consecrate Qiao Chongrong to be Jieyu, and she will continue to be grounded. She will not be able to come out unless summoned. The fourth prince will temporarily move to Mingxu Palace to live, and Aunt Haosheng will teach her the rules."

Qiao Jieyu felt uncomfortable in her heart. She didn't know when mother and son would see each other again after this farewell.

"Concubine, thank you Your Majesty." Qiao Jieyu kowtowed respectfully to Emperor Yinde. She was no longer the noble empress Chongrong who was the head of the first palace.

Tears filled his eyes, not because he was facing the punishment of being demoted and grounded, but because his child, his only child, was leaving him.

The child in her belly is almost four months old. If she cannot be promoted within half a year, this child will not be able to stay with her.

"Master Qiao, please." Li Fuhai sent Qiao Jieyu to the door of the palace and ordered Qingzhu Haosheng to send her back. When he saw Liu Zhong coming, he went in to send a message.

"Your Majesty, Liu Zhong, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is asking for an audience outside the palace."

Emperor Yinde nodded slightly and said, "Send him to come in."

Liu Zhong was summoned, entered respectfully, and saluted Emperor Yinde, "See your majesty, long live your majesty."

"Get up." Emperor Yinde raised his hand and told Liu Zhong to get up.

"I've sent you here to tell you some important things. Xinran Palace has been burned down. It's probably impossible to restore it to its original state. You still have to do your best to repair it and don't be careless."

"Yes, I obey the order." Liu Zhong agreed. This is a difficult problem. It would be easy to ask which palace to be decorated and cleaned by His Majesty, but it is really a lot of effort to build Xinran Palace now.

"There is one more thing that needs to be handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Bureau of Clothing." Emperor Yinde picked up the tea cup, took a few sips, and pointed to the booklet placed next to the imperial case.

Li Fuhai understood immediately and gave the pamphlet to Liu Zhong.

"According to my request, I can only give you one year to make a phoenix robe. Do you understand?"

Hearing that His Majesty's tone was more serious, Liu Zhong immediately took the book and knelt down respectfully, "This slave obeys the order, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Liu Zhong has been the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for so many years, and has long since become a human being. According to His Majesty, he will be crowned a queen next year, and Wan Jin will welcome a mother of the country again.

There was some joy in Liu Zhong's tone, and Emperor Yin De's lips curled up, "Okay, you go down first, Li Fuhai, see him off."

Generally, Emperor Yinde would not let Li Fuhai send Liu Zhong off. After all, Liu Zhong's status was not as good as Li Fuhai's.

But when Li Fuhai heard this, he understood instantly and took Liu Zhong down to reward him.

Liu Zhong didn't receive many rewards from Emperor Yin De. Generally, he was good without being punished. Today, he received a lot of money from his majesty. From now on, he will have to work hard for his majesty and the new queen.

If Liu Zhong guessed correctly, the bride should be the imperial concubine.

After Liu Zhong left, Emperor Yinde began to review the memorial, and the corners of his lips could not stop rising, looking forward to next year, the grand ceremony for Su Qingyao to be crowned queen.

In the imperial garden, a child was crying non-stop. It turned out that Chengxuan was being held by the nuns and was going to Mingxu Hall.

The child, who was not yet two years old, had to move directly to Mingxu Hall by himself. Chengxuan couldn't believe it, and his face turned red from crying.

"You are bad people, I want my mother-in-law, I want my aunt!!"

Compared with leaving his mother-in-law and aunt, losing his beloved kitten is not painful at all.

A nanny hugged Chengxuan hard and walked quickly. The more Chengxuan cried, the faster she walked.

That nanny was the oldest nanny in the palace, and she was the best at watching what was served. She looked at the fourth prince as if he had been directly thrown into the cold palace by His Majesty, and there was no respect for the master at all.

"Bad guy, bad guy!" Chengxuan still shouted.

"Stop crying!" Grandma's attitude was also extremely tough, without any rules at all.

"Who is so bold and dares to be disrespectful to the prince?" Mammy raised her head when she heard the voice, and at some point, Yuan Baolin stood in front of her.

"Slave, please see Little Master Yuan." Grandma lowered her body and did not even kneel down.

"Empress Yuan." Chengxuan broke away from his mother-in-law and ran into Yuan Baolin's arms.

Seeing the child crying out of breath, Yuan Baolin coaxed him in a good voice, "Fourth Prince, be good, don't cry, okay?"

After a long time, the child's crying finally stopped, and he still sobbed and said, "Empress Yuan, I don't want to leave my mother-in-law."

Yuan Baolin took the handkerchief and gently wiped away Chengxuan's tears, "Fourth prince, your Majesty's intention is not that you leave your mother and concubine, but that you want you to grow up quickly. Leaving your mother and concubine means that first step."

"Then can I come see my mother-in-law?"

"Of course you can. If you want to come back to see your mother-in-law, just tell Empress Yuan and she will take you with her, okay?"

Hearing this, Chengxuan didn't seem so scared anymore and nodded repeatedly, "Okay."

Yuan Baolin said, taking out a jade pendant with a picture of a kitten engraved on it, "Does the Fourth Prince like it?"

Chengxuan saw the jade pendant, mainly the kitten on the jade pendant, and instantly became happy, "I like it."

Without saying a word, Yuan Baolin directly tied the jade pendant to Chengxuan's body and then picked him up.

She scolded the nun, "Although I have just entered the palace not long ago, I also know the rules. The master is the master and the slave is the slave. You just yelled at the fourth prince. What do you mean? Do you want to Go and explain to His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine?"

As a legitimate princess, Yuan Baolin often taught slaves in the palace. These slaves bullied the weak and feared the strong. The higher the status, the more afraid they were.

Hearing that Yuan Baolin had moved out Emperor Yinde and Su Qingyao, this nanny must have been frightened. She knelt down and apologized, "It is my slave who deserves to die. Please calm down the anger of the Fourth Prince and Little Master Yuan."

"Fourth Prince, do you want to forgive her?" Yuan Baolin hugged Chengxuan and asked softly, taking the initiative to hand over the decision-making power on this matter to Chengxuan.

Although Qiao Jieyu and the fourth prince are now out of power, the slave bullying the master has become a big issue, and this nanny's life will be lost.

"Little Master, it is this slave who deserves to die. Please spare this slave, little Master."

Chengxuan nodded, "Empress Yuan, forgive her."

"Okay, but it's only this time. If this nun doesn't respect you again next time, you can go directly to the Yangxin Palace and tell your father that you are the master and you must behave like a master." Yuan Baolin said. , directly hugged Chengxuan and went to Mingxu Palace.

Chengxuan was also very well-behaved and did not cry. A two-year-old child would never have imagined that he had already begun to become a chess piece.
