After teasing Zhu'er until her face turned bright red, Ren Jingxing got up and began to think about how to deal with the female official.

Do as recorded in Wei Xinyan's diary?

That's absolutely impossible!

Those rules were so daunting that Ren Jingxing felt overwhelmed just looking at them; he simply couldn't follow them.

Behave yourself and avoid causing trouble.

This isn't him stirring up trouble; it's others provoking him!

If the Fourteenth Princess had been a little more assertive and flexible, she might not have had to suffer as Si Zan!

According to the contents of Wei Xinyan's diary.

The Imperial Ceremonial Bureau, where the Si Zan (a high-ranking official) worked, was under the Empress's jurisdiction.

In other words, as long as the Empress is dealt with, this damned female official is no longer a concern.

"Pearl!"

"Princess, your servant is here."

"Go find two ropes!"

"A rope?" Pearl was taken aback. "What does the princess need a rope for?"

"It will be very useful in a moment!"

After finding the rope, Ren Jingxing sat down imposingly at the palace gate, waiting for the Sizan to arrive.

Seeing this, Pearl began to feel a little scared.

It seems the princess from before has turned back into her original self.

Sitting like that at the palace gate, the Szan will definitely be angry!

But at the same time, she also had a faint sense of anticipation.

Did the princess find two ropes to tie up the two female officials?

When the palace attendant arrived, he saw Ren Jingxing sitting at the palace gate in such a posture.

Si Zan was so angry that his face turned red.

Did she teach for nothing for those ten days?

Or was the princess deliberately provoking her?!

Si Zan's eyebrows shot up, and his footsteps pounded loudly.

"Fourteenth Princess, the last day is over."

Are you really going to reveal your true colors even on the last day?!

Ren Jingxing didn't care about any of that.

He suddenly stood up and grabbed the collars of the two female officials.

Ren Jingxing swayed the two female officials to the left and right, then tripped them with his leg, causing them to fall to the ground on the spot.

Si Zan was almost stunned by the fall.

Is this the same timid princess from just a few days ago?

Is this still the princess who was forced to speak and could only cry when questioned?

"Princess, you...uh...uh!"

Before Si Zan could speak, Ren Jingxing stuffed a rag into her mouth and then neatly tied her up.

"Pearl, give me the other end of the rope!"

"Huh? Oh, oh!"

Zhu'er shuddered and quickly handed another rope to Ren Jingxing, then tied up the second palace maid.

While feeling worried, Pearl even felt a thrill!

Ren Jingxing tied up the two female officials and stuffed them with white cloth.

They simply threw the two of them onto the palace floor.

However, Ren Jingxing did not mistreat them; he even had Zhu'er put a mattress underneath them.

Looking at the two female officials bound like pigs, Zhu'er felt a little numb:

Princess, this is the last day, why are you pulling this stunt again!

"Zhu'er, keep a close eye on these two female officials. Don't untie them, and don't listen to what they're saying."

Finally, close the door, and no one is allowed to enter!

After Ren Jingxing finished speaking, he went into the palace.

"Princess, where are you going!"

"Let's go pay a visit to Her Majesty the Empress!"

Watching Ren Jingxing's departing figure, Si Zan twisted her body and groaned, tears streaming down her face from the tightness.

She is now absolutely certain.

Everything that Granny Li and Qiao'er said before was true!

This cruel fourteenth princess might actually force others to bark like dogs!

Generally speaking, a princess in dire straits would have virtually no chance of visiting the Empress.

However, he had a jade pendant in his hand.

As soon as Ren Jingxing finished thinking, a jade pendant appeared in his hand.

This jade pendant is made of high-quality Hetian jade, with a warm, clear, and translucent texture.

It seems that it has been worn for a long time, and the patterns on the edges are somewhat blurred.

The figures carved on the jade pendant are the Hehe Erxian (Two Immortals of Harmony and Union), symbolizing harmony, happiness, and loving couples.

For an emperor to give such a symbolic jade pendant to his empress speaks volumes about the depth of their relationship.

The palace where the empress resided was called Changqiu Palace, which symbolizes longevity and the growth of all things.

As for the location of Changqiu Palace, Ren Jingxing already knew it from his last visit.

Even without asking around, he could find it.

Because the Empress's palace was located in the center of the palace complex, and it also had another name, the Main Palace.

Changqiu Palace has five bays in width and three bays in depth. The round pillars in front of the hall are painted with solemn vermilion lacquer.

Gilded bronze components also hang on the doors and windows.

Ren Jingxing walked to the palace gate and waited for a moment. An elderly nanny walked up to him with small steps.

"Fourteenth Princess, Her Majesty the Empress is not receiving guests today. Please leave."

In the inner palace, the nannies who guarded the palace gates were often the confidantes of the various concubines.

They know who can enter directly, who needs to be notified, and who doesn't even need to be notified.

For example, in the old palace maid's mind, the Fourteenth Princess was someone she could refuse without even needing to inform her.

Ren Jingxing wasn't angry. He simply took out the jade pendant and held it up with both hands:

"This old woman, please give the jade pendant to Her Majesty the Empress. If Her Majesty still does not wish to see her, I will leave."

As a trusted confidante, the gatekeeper's nanny naturally knew the origin of this jade pendant.

She picked up the jade pendant, looked at it with a puzzled expression for a moment, and then her gaze sharpened.

"Fourteenth Princess, please wait a moment, I'll be right back!"

Anyone who has spent a little time in Changqiu Palace knows that this jade pendant is the token of love that the Empress has been searching for!

A moment later, the old woman returned quickly and hurriedly said:

"Fourteenth Princess, Her Majesty the Empress requests your presence!"

On her couch in Changqiu Palace, the dignified and elegant Empress was holding a jade pendant, lost in thought.

There seemed to be tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

This jade pendant is a testament to her meeting His Majesty during a time of crisis.

She thought she would never see him again.

Just like her relationship with His Majesty, it vanished without a trace!

"Your Majesty, the Fourteenth Princess has arrived."

The Empress wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and regained her composure.

She lifted the curtain, left the bed, and sat down on a chair in the bedroom.

"Let her in!"

"yes!"

The Empress held the jade pendant tightly in her hand.

She still couldn't understand why her most treasured jade pendant would suddenly appear on the body of the Fourteenth Princess, who was practically unknown.

After a moment, a young girl entered the palace.

Unlike other princesses or concubines, this young girl walked gracefully without her skirt swaying.

Instead, he moved like a general in the outer palace, striding forward with the gait of a dragon and the stride of a tiger!

The Empress immediately frowned.

If I remember correctly, isn't the Fourteenth Princess currently being taught etiquette by the Palace Attendant?

How did it turn out like this?

His mannerisms showed no trace of any training from a priest; instead, he resembled a man!

And isn't the teaching still going on? How did this princess even appear?

Ren Jingxing entered the palace and glanced at the Empress sitting in the main hall.

His first impression was that the empress was indeed very beautiful.

My second thought was that the Empress and Marquis Anren look so alike!

Ren Jing walked into the hall and bowed respectfully.

"Your subject, Wei Xinyan, greets Your Majesty the Empress."

The Empress asked coldly:

"Isn't the Fourteenth Princess currently receiving etiquette training from the Imperial Tutor? What brings her to Changqiu Palace?"
