Dressed as the pampered step room of the grandfather

Chapter 174 Puzzle Solving
The relationship between the second brother and the second younger sibling is so rigid, it is not a secret to come to the mansion, it should be easy to find out.

But An Ruoyu was still very curious, the second brother and sister Liu's temperament is so good, and they are so kind to their children, what did Song Mian do to make his wife and children feel cold towards him?
The carriage slowly drove towards the palace, and finally stopped at the gate of the palace. With Song Yu's support, An Ruoyu got off the carriage and came to the old lady's side hand in hand.

Looking at the high city wall, An Ruoyu's eyes were complicated. Sure enough, she didn't like this palace at all.

Although this is her second time here, her life, her relatives and friends are all affected by the supreme imperial power living here. She cannot see or touch it, but it deeply affects this imperial power. Everyone under her, she hated the feeling.

"Let's go, you will be by my side in a while, everything will be fine."

As if aware of her daughter-in-law's nervousness, the old lady patted her hand to calm her nervousness.

"En!" An Ruoyu nodded, looked at the old lady, then at Song Yu and the three children beside him, feeling more secure.

As dusk fell, following the old lady and Song Yu, a group of people entered the palace with the flow of many people attending the banquet together. Looking at the cautious and excited crowd around her, An Ruoyu's expression seemed so calm.

The palace banquet is indeed a palace banquet, and its luxury and grandeur are completely top-notch.

Just look at the singing and dancing, only look at the decorations, only look at the melon and fruit snacks, only look at the palace ladies and maidservants, only look at the people attending the banquet, they are completely comparable to those small banquets.

Follow the little eunuch who led the way to the main hall and sit quietly, and follow the old lady to wander among the senior and powerful female relatives, dealing with those who are either kind or malicious.

After only wandering around, she felt unprecedentedly tired, and she was already listless before the banquet started.

"It was like this at the beginning, but it will be fine after you get used to it."

Seeing her daughter-in-law's listless look, the old lady showed a clear smile, thinking that she was the same back then, but the eldest daughter-in-law was born in a poor family, so she should be more careful now.

Song Yu also stretched out his big hand to hold her small hand, silently accompanying her.

Smiling at the two of them, she knew that as Mrs. Dingguo, she would inevitably have to face this, but it was really difficult for those women who were about to become seductive.

But she is not without gains. This time she finally matched the familiar network of characters with people in real life, so that she won't make a big joke when she doesn't know anyone in the future.

"Have some tea." Song Yu carefully handed her a cup of tea.

"This sherbet is also good!" Song Yuanyao pushed the sherbet in front of her.

Looking at the tea and sherbet in front of her, An Ruoyu took them all with a smile, "Thank you!"

"Dingguo Gong, it seems that your body is recovering well. This is Mrs. Dingguogong. You are really married to this lady. She takes good care of you. I don't blame you for being so good at me. My niece doesn't even care about it."

Just when the whole family was in harmony, a somewhat unexpected person appeared with a smile.

"Meet King Huai!"

The identity of the person in front of her stunned An Ruoyu, this is King Huai?That King Huai that He Shaoqian told her to be careful?The King Huai who helped Princess Ping Ning?
In an instant, the alarm in An Ruoyu's heart sounded, she was so nervous that she crushed the snack in her hand, which aroused King Huai's eyes.

Hurriedly holding the dessert in her palm, An Ruoyu lowered her head as if shy.

King Huai quickly left without saying anything unusual, as if he really just met for a while and came to say hello.

But An Ruoyu touched her chest and felt her heart beating wildly. For some reason, she had an inexplicable intuition about this King Huai, danger!Danger!Danger!
"Brother Yu... King Huai... gives me a very bad feeling, I don't like him." Pulling Song Yu's clothes, he whispered in his ear.

After clapping her hand, Song Yu looked at King Huai's face full of chatter and laughter with a gloomy expression, King Huai... What kind of role did you... play in it?
Eating royal food, drinking sherbet, and enjoying the graceful singing and dancing, An Ruoyu's expression gradually became more relaxed. Under such singing and dancing, it is really easy to sink, no wonder it is easy to become a fool, no wonder those people Men like power.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I had fun with the officials, and the banquet was very lively. The emperor toasted frequently, and he became a little drunk after a while.

When An Ruoyu and Song Yuanyao were muttering that the mooncakes in the palace were too big and not tasty, and that they missed the salted egg yolk mooncakes at home, the emperor suddenly became very interested and asked everyone a difficult problem.

And promised that whoever can solve this problem, he will promise the other party one thing.

As the saying goes, 'Jinkouyuyan'!As soon as the emperor said this, everyone present was in a commotion. One thing the emperor promised, who can resist this temptation.

But when the emperor asked everyone to present the difficult problem, An Ruoyu found that Song Yu's breathing changed at that moment.

An Ruoyu expressed that she was also very interested in the tempting conditions proposed by the emperor, but after seeing Song Yu's momentary astonishment, she became aware, and after scanning around, she realized that something was wrong!

The emperor looked a little drunk, but a gleam of light leaked inadvertently showed that he was always sober.

Most of the others were curious and eager to try, but only a few of them changed their expressions slightly like Song Yu, and some of them didn't even manage the expressions on their faces well.

An Ruoyu curiously looked at the wooden box in the eunuch's hand, is there something wrong with this thing?

"Brother Yu, is there something wrong with this box?" Your expression is obviously wrong!
"This is the Nine Turn Box!"

Staring fixedly at the wooden box, Song Yu returned without blinking. He also wanted to know why the nine-turn box stolen from Dali Temple became a mystery and was shown to everyone by the emperor.

Is this nine turn box real or fake?
If it is true, what is the emperor's intention?If it is fake, what is the emperor's intention?

Just when Song Yu's mind was full of fog, after appreciating everyone's performance, the emperor spoke again, "Whoever can open this nine-turn box will be rewarded with great rewards!"

"Hiss!" King Huai gasped, "Your Majesty, you said this is the Nine-Turn Box? It's the legendary Nine-Turn Box that hides the treasures of the previous dynasty!"

As soon as King Huai said this, the scene was silent and then there was some commotion. Regarding the treasures of the previous dynasty and the Nine-Turn Box, many people knew about such a thing. Some time ago, Dali Temple was stolen, and the Nine-Turn Box was stolen. The treasure of the previous dynasty became popular again.

But no one thought that the nine-turn box, which was said to have been stolen, would be placed by the emperor at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and became a mystery for everyone to solve.

What is the meaning of the emperor's move?
Everyone who deeply felt the unpredictability of the Sacred Heart looked at each other, and no one dared to speak, and those who were completely ignorant were also as quiet as chickens after being popularized.

"The emperor is really well-informed. This is the nine-turn box that hides the treasure map of the previous dynasty. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I will use this as today's puzzle. Whoever can solve this puzzle will be my uncle." Zhou's hero."

With a wave of his hand, the emperor generously signaled the little eunuch to place the nine-turn box on the table and put it in front of everyone's eyes.

"This..." Whether it is the ministers, family members, princes or ladies in the harem, at this moment, they have no idea in their hearts, and they can't guess the emperor's intentions.

"Father, I have a question." In the end, the tenth prince was the first to speak, "Didn't the nine-turn box be stolen from Dali Temple some time ago? Father, is your nine-turn box real or fake?"

"Good question!" The emperor smiled and pointed at the son, until the tenth prince laughed.

"The thief is ambitious. He dared to burn the capital and break into the Dali Temple for the sake of a former dynasty's treasure. He is so rampant, it's just like everyone's anger!" He patted the table emotionally, and his aura of an emperor dissipated, instantly making everyone kneel in fear After it got off, the singing and dancing also stopped. The emperor's anger was not just for fun.

"The emperor forgives the sin, it is the incompetence of the ministers!"

Some time ago, the capital was maliciously set on fire, the Dali Temple was stolen, and then the imperial palace was stolen again. The emperor's anger was as swift and terrifying as the erupting mountain fire.

At that time, how many people were dismissed by the emperor or imprisoned because of dereliction of duty. The Ancheng incident had just stopped, and another incident happened. This is Mercury retrograde!
No one dared to mention this matter before the emperor, no, the emperor himself was so angry when he mentioned it, who would dare to speak up.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, the emperor's anger slowed down a bit, "Get up! I don't blame you, it's because the thieves are too vicious, and they can't be prevented if they plan for a long time."

"Our Great Zhou country is strong and the people are rich. The treasures of the previous dynasty are not important to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but those thieves are so vicious because of this treasure. Solve the mystery of the nine-turn box with the power of civil and military power, and end the calamity of this treasure."

Looking at the nine-turn box with sharp eyes, no one knew what he was thinking, "Those thieves really think that my Dali Temple is so easy to steal, and the one stolen is just a fake one. I will take this box and leave it alone." It is to tell the thieves hiding in the shadows that their calculations are nothing but wishful thinking!"

"My dear friends, which one of you will come up and try?"

Sitting back on the dragon chair, the emperor leaned his head and looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, "Everyone can give it a try."

The emperor's speech really caught everyone's surprise. This is a matter of treasures, and everyone is hiding it, but the emperor came to do the opposite, which was too unexpected.

Everyone who didn't understand the reason really didn't dare to move at first, after a long time, several princes took the lead to check the Nine-Turn Box, and then everyone gradually let go and tried to solve the Nine-Turn Box.

But the Nine-Turn Box is an important clue to the treasure, and it is conceivable that it is seriously poisoned, and the people who have tried to unlock the Nine-Turn Box for hundreds of years can also be imagined.

But so far, I have never heard of the secret of the Nine Revolving Box being unraveled. This shows how difficult it is. Even if the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty are involved, An Ruoyu will end up with a huge sum of money, which may be unsatisfactory.

"Go! Let's go and have a look too."

Holding Song Yuanyao's hand, she is going to take this brat to see the legendary Nine-Turn Box. The two jade spoons have been swirling around in her hand, and she hasn't started with the Nine-Turn Box yet. However, what is this thing that has stumped so many people?

"My son, Yao'er, you should go and have a look together."

Song Qingyao suddenly raised her head, her expression was a little excited, can she go too!
"This..." Song Yuanbin hesitated, and the nine-turn box on the table also made him curious, but the people who went up to check were all court officials, and they had never had female relatives, let alone children as old as him, "We really Can you go and have a look, can you just go up like this?"

"This is the Nine Revolving Box! Even if we can't solve it, we can touch it. This may be the only chance. Do you really want to miss it?"

"And the emperor said it, you can try it, Brother Yu, am I right?" An Ruoyu spoke plausibly, and even drew Song Yu.

"Yes!" Song Yu nodded with a smile and stood up, "I'll go with you!"

So, everyone watched in surprise as Duke Ding and Mrs. Ding walked up to the Nine Revolving Box with their three children, and began to examine it carefully.

There was no displeasure on the emperor's face, but instead he teased Song Yu, "Song Yu, Song Yu, you can compare this full house of husbands with your father today!"

Facing the emperor's ridicule, Song Yu clapped his hands indifferently and replied: "The emperor has praised you absurdly, but I just did what I should do."

The emperor smiled and shook his head, and whispered to the queen beside him, "Duke Ding has such a temper, he really has no one."

The Queen smiled and said, "You and Duke Ding have known each other since childhood, so you already knew about this temperament."

The eyes fell on the five members of this family, looking at the queen, she was a little dazed, thinking that when she was still in her boudoir, she also imagined a day when she and her husband would raise their eyebrows, just like Ding Guogong's family in front of her.

But when an imperial decree came, she had no choice but to enter this deep palace. Since then, her imagination has become a luxury, let alone a case, it is her child...

His left hand stroked his stomach, and there was a sparkle in his eyes for an instant, and he turned his head to look at the place where the princes were, feeling a suffocating feeling in his heart.

She will not be able to be a mother in this life, and she even has to be kind to her husband's son. It really is as deep as the sea once she enters the palace...

An Ruoyu, who had no idea that she was envied by the queen of a country, was carefully looking at the Nine Turn Box with the three children at the moment, and touched it with her hands.

She found that the workmanship of the nine-turn box was really top-notch. If she didn't know it was a box, she would have thought it was a solid piece of carved wood, and there was no trace of stitching at all.

No wonder no one can open the Nine Transformation Box, there is no way to start!
