Li Yinhu left Zhao's mansion, carrying an overwhelming sense of excitement all the way to the palace.
The guards at the palace would naturally not stop him, but when he reached outside the Fengxi Palace, he was shut out.
"Be bold!"
The eunuch lowered his head and bowed respectfully. Although his attitude was good, he didn't move at all. He said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. The Prince has stated that no one may enter without a handwritten decree from him. If Your Highness insists on going in, please show us the decree."
Li Yinhu narrowed his eyes. This eunuch, by bringing up the crown prince, really dared not to be arrogant.
Gritting his teeth, Li Yinhu said, "This king will just go in and pay respects to the Empress Dowager and come out immediately. I promise I won't make things difficult for you."
"With that, Li Yinhǔ took out a silver note from his bosom and said, “Sir, please do me a favor.”
To bribe a eunuch as Li Yinhu was already a great humiliation, but the eunuch became even more terrified. He immediately stepped back and knelt on the ground, saying: "Please, Your Highness, do not make things difficult for me."
Seeing that the eunuch was unmoved, Li Yinhou's expression grew increasingly cold and grim.
He got angry and couldn't get in, that's fine. After all, with the prince's order, it wasn't humiliating.
But even when he offered bribes with humility, he was rejected. This made Li Yinhu lose face a little.
"Oh, this is the first time I've seen an eunuch who doesn't accept favors. Since you want a decree from the Crown Prince, then just wait! This king will not only get you a decree from the Crown Prince, but also take your head! You ignorant fool!"
Li Yinhu said so, then turned and left.
After a long time, the eunuch finally stood up from the ground. He watched Li Yinhu's retreating figure and spat fiercely on the ground, muttering to himself: "What's wrong with being an eunuch Eunuchs are also human beings. See if you can bring the imperial decree from the crown prince. See who doesn't know what's good for them!"
Up until now, Li Yinhu hadn't realized the gravity of the situation. He thought that it was no problem for him to see the Empress with his own status, so he left Fengxi Palace and headed straight for the East Palace.
In the Xizheng Hall, Li Chen met Li Yinhu.
"I, your humble brother, pay my respects to Your Highness, the Crown Prince."
Looking at Li Yinhu, who was bowing properly, Li Chen, who was still handling memorials, lowered his gaze back to the government affairs in his hand and said calmly, “You don’t have to be so formal. Wang Zhao hasn't been to Xizheng Hall for a long time. However, this palace has also heard that the work of eliminating the White Lotus Sect in the Jingji area has been done well recently. Just don't neglect the studies of your younger brothers and sisters. It’s important to balance both sides. The education of your younger brothers and sisters is equally important.”
Li Yinhu immediately replied, "Your Highness is right. My younger brother will reflect on this and pay more attention to the studies of my younger siblings."
"Well then, the academy supervised by Imperial Scholar Dantai Jing will be completed soon. You have to work hard for a few more months. After that, this palace intends to transfer all the princes and princesses to the academy to learn alongside the scholars of the world."
"Thus, it serves the purpose of increasing interactions between royalty and scholars, allowing the princes and princesses to also experience life among commoners."
Secondly, it is also to let the world see that our royal family treats all equally, whether they are members of the imperial clan or ordinary scholars.
Li Yinhu was absentmindedly flattering, "Your Highness, you are wise and brilliant. Your humble brother admires you."
Having already finished drafting a memorial, Li Chen placed it aside and asked, "What brings you to the Hall of Precepts"hed with suspicion as he said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here"He wasn't sure how much Xu Wei had heard. If it was a lot, he would have to kill Xu Wei even though he didn't want to.This is a...
