The meaning of the eldest princess was obvious. There was no way of knowing whether Si Ning's previous achievements were true or false.
What the emperor said later, no one knows.
The eldest princess returned to the granary with an imperial edict. This trip took three hours, and Si Ning was still forced to kneel on the ground.
The ground was particularly cold on a rainy day. The eldest princess felt relieved when she saw that Si Ning's face was pale and his body was trembling.
Originally, her son should have come to see this scene, but now was not the time.
"Si Ning, take the order."
The eldest princess signaled the eunuch she had brought to announce the edict, and the eunuch unfolded the edict and read it aloud.
"The third lady of the Lu family lacks virtue and acts recklessly. She will be removed from the title of county head and will be banned from leaving her home from now on."
The imperial edict is a few simple words, but it makes people think a lot.
Just the lack of virtue is enough to make people think a lot, and even think wrongly. This is the purpose of the eldest princess.
She didn't want to pull Si Ning off the altar all at once, but she wanted to wear away her edge bit by bit.
One day, when his son saw nothing more than a humble back-house woman trying to survive, he would realize how absurd the previous friendship was.
I have to say that the eldest princess still knows how to punish the heart.
But she overlooked one thing. Si Ning was not a humble woman trying to survive in the back house at all. In her previous life, she was a famous military doctor in the Great Xia Kingdom and a ghost walking in the darkness.
In this life, apart from her status as the concubine of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, she is your grandmother, the third young master of the Lu family, the person behind the Yuan'an Medical Center, a guest of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, and even more popular among the people at the border. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves suffering.
She is still a fledgling, but not everyone can achieve these feats.
Si Ning looked up at the eldest princess, his face was pale, but his expression was stubborn.
She accepted the imperial edict, turned to look at the eldest princess and asked.
"Princess, can I get up now?"
This time she did not call herself Si Ning, but her wife. This was to tell the eldest princess her identity.
The eldest princess just wanted to teach Si Ning a lesson, not to turn against Lu Hanxiao, so she just gave him a small punishment and a big warning.
"Get up."
Because he had been kneeling for so long, Si Ning felt as if his knees were being gnawed by countless ants. He stood up shakily and tried his best to support his body with both hands to prevent himself from falling.
Seeing her embarrassed appearance, the eldest princess felt even more proud.
It seems that she has done what she did to deal with Si Ning before. She is a little girl who is nothing. It really shouldn't take too much effort to get rid of her because too many people are involved.
A simple method was enough to make her sink to the bottom.
She glanced at Si Ning contemptuously and turned to leave, but Si Ning stopped her.
"The eldest princess..."
The eldest princess stopped and looked at her in confusion, "What else do you want?"
"The matter between the eldest princess and I has not been resolved yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
The eldest princess frowned, very dissatisfied with Si Ning's attitude.
"Si Ning, what else do I have to do with you? Do you think the punishment is too light?"
There were many people standing in the granary, including her people, Si Ning's people, and hired day laborers.
The eldest princess did not shy away from it at all, she just wanted everyone to know what Si Ning was.
Si Ning pointed to the dozens of large vats behind him, "Is the eldest princess punishing me just because of those grains?"
The eldest princess gave Si Ning a look that said otherwise.
Si Ning asked again, "Then the imperial edict said that Si Ning's lack of virtue was also because of those grains?"
It’s better to ask some things clearly.
The eldest princess was speechless, unable to nod but unable to shake her head.
She went to ask for the edict because of this incident, but it was also her intention to make the emperor's edict unclear.
Instead of answering, he asked, "What on earth are you going to say?"
Si Ning walked step by step towards the big tank behind him, feeling terrible pain in his knees with every step he took.
Finally stopping next to the large vat, she threw the bamboo hat on it to the ground and supported the grain on it.
The eldest princess saw this and yelled loudly.
"Si Ning, are you crazy? What are you doing?"
Si Ning was unmoved and continued to hold the food on the ground.
The eldest princess signaled her maid to stop him, but she was no match for Si Ning.
"No, Si Ning, are you planning to add another crime?"
The upper layer of grain was finally lifted to the ground. Si Ning raised his hand and lifted a lid from the tank. There was a layer of plastic under the lid, which was made of plastic that Si Ning found based on the memories of his previous life.
Although there is no such thing as plastic in this era, there are many skilled craftsmen.
Si Ning asked Lu Hanxiao to help and introduced a lot of capable people to her. She told them her ideas and then she made this thing.
She has tested it and found that although it is not as waterproof as plastic, as long as there is no major flood, ordinary rainwater will not cause any damage.
Si Ning turned to look at the eldest princess and said every word.
"Your Highness, the eldest princess, Si Ning has not finished what he said before. The food is fine, but there are some losses. As for your statement that the granary has been in disrepair for a long time, I also have something to report."
"Three days ago, I hired a craftsman from the palace to repair the tiles. This has been filed with the Ministry of Works. As for why the repairs happened like this, I think Jingzhao Mansion will give it to Her Royal Highness the Princess. I told the emperor the same thing."
"How is this possible?" the eldest princess exclaimed. She quickly walked forward to the rice vat, eager to see what was going on inside.
As Si Ning said, the food was indeed kept intact inside.
Although there are some signs of soaking on the upper layer, it can be seen that the loss is less than one ten thousandth, which is basically negligible.
What I saw before my eyes was unbelievable!
Because it was so unexpected, the eldest princess didn't realize her gaffe.
"Your Highness, Princess, shouldn't you be happy to see that the food is in good condition? After all, you care about the people. Because of the mistakes of the ministers and wives, you have to go to the palace to ask for orders and give an explanation to the people. Are you surprised now?"
There was a smile on Si Ning's face. The smile was like a blooming rose, bright and dazzling.
The eldest princess finally knew where the problem was.
Everything went so smoothly!
From beginning to end, everything was going according to her expectations, and Si Ning seemed not to notice.
But last time she was clearly aware of the danger early in the morning, how could she not sense the slightest danger this time?
She was too careless and too conceited to fall into Si Ning's trap.
No one dared to raise their heads to look at the two of them, but anyone who was not a fool could understand the twists and turns inside.
The eldest prince wanted to frame Si Ning, but Si Ning counterattacked.
But why would a eldest princess frame a minister's wife?
It was incredible, but no one dared to say anything.
But the most difficult thing now is not this...
The food is fine, but the imperial edict has been issued. How to save it?
You didn't say anything jokingly, but you mistakenly believed other people's slanderous words, which was very embarrassing.
