"Yes." Huang Dechang knelt beside the prince and began to change into clean boots for the prince.

At this moment, everyone saw what the boots that Jiang Meiren gave to the prince looked like.

It was a pair of inky boots, with no embroidery except for the neat gold topstitching at the edges, and the fabric was not of the finest.

For the concubines, the boots given by Jiang Meiren are as ordinary as her.

In Huang Dechang's view, if it weren't for the urgency, such boots would be destined to be put in the warehouse to absorb ash.

Even he can't look down on these boots, let alone His Highness.

When the family banquet is over, he will definitely replace it for His Highness!

When the prince changed his boots, everyone knelt with their heads bowed, their eyes down at the ground, and did not dare to look at the prince more.

It wasn't until the prince finished changing his boots that everyone slowly raised their heads.

When something like this happened at the dinner table, the prince was not interested in continuing to eat.

After changing his boots, Pei Xuanling lifted the corner of his robe and got up, ready to leave the table.

Just as he got up, he felt the proper feeling of the soles and surfaces of his feet being softly wrapped, and he couldn't help but pause slightly.

Xu is boots are comfortable to wear, and when passing by Jiang Meiren's side, Pei Xuanling also glanced at Jiang Meiren before leaving with everyone.

The most important people left, and the concubines of the East Palace also rested their thoughts on eating and went back to their respective residences.

**

In the following days, the prince was busy taking over the Ministry of Rites, and he was often busy until late at night before returning to the East Palace.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of private schools, academies, Confucian temples, family studies, and imperial examinations across the country.

As well as what major events the royal family and the imperial court encounter, the Ministry of Rites will choose good days and auspicious days to handle.

In addition, when the vassal was in contact with other countries, he was in charge of the courtesy and the reception of foreign guests.

Then there is the matter of casting seals for the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

At the beginning of the year, several countries and vassal kings wrote letters, saying that they wanted to come to the Eastern Liang Kingdom to pay tribute.

The journey is far away, calculating the time, they are about to arrive one after another, and the Ministry of Rites has to be busy preparing to receive foreign guests.

The key Ministry of Rites is outdated and pedantic, and has the arrogance of a literati, among many princes, only admires the six princes who are quite accomplished and talented in literature.

And has been recommending the six princes to the emperor to enter the Ministry of Rites.

Therefore, he was quite dissatisfied with the prince's temporary management of the Ministry of Rites.

also did not accept the prince's control, and felt that the prince was mixed in as a prince.

However, the crown prince is the prince after all.

Although he didn't dare to make things difficult openly, he didn't cooperate well.

As a result, the prince took over the Ministry of Rites and was very busy!

has been busy until the Qingming Festival, and the royal family has to perform the "tomb sacrifice ceremony".

The emperor should take all the princes, princes and ministers to the imperial tomb to sweep the tombs and worship the ancestors.

The crown prince is naturally among them.

Because the boots given by Jiang Meiren were quite comfortable, when he left the palace, the prince still wore those comfortable boots.

The imperial tomb is on the outskirts of Beijing, and after everyone arrives at the imperial tomb, in addition to cleaning the mausoleum and worshiping the ancestors, they also have to sacrifice heaven and earth.

After the sacrifice was over, Pei Xuanling took his subordinates to the mausoleum of the "Empress Xiaohui".

Empress Xiaohui is the biological mother of the prince, and after giving birth to the prince, she fell ill due to dystocia and died of illness that year.

"Empress Xiaohui" is such a big person, her mausoleum is not an ordinary stone tablet, but an underground palace.

Huang Dechang ordered someone to arrange the tribute, Pei Xuanling went down to the underground palace alone, and Huang Dechang and the guards guarded outside.

Candles were lit in the underground palace, and various burial utensils were placed around it.

In the middle, there is a rectangular coffin.

Pei Xuanling knelt in front of the coffin, worshipping and offering incense.

Just as he was offering incense, there was a sudden strange sound under the underground palace, and the stone bricks under his feet moved slightly.

Then there was a force from the bottom of his left foot, and Pei Xuanling raised his foot to see that a sharp dagger pierced out of the crack in the bricks of the underground palace.

But soon, the dagger was hidden in the crack in the ground again.

And the soles of his boots, which were split in half by the dagger, revealed a piece of silver!

Pei Xuanling didn't have time to take a closer look at the boots that Jiang Meiren gave him, and there was a strange sound from another floor tile.

The floor tiles were directly peeled open, revealing a Qilin arm with bulging green tendons, and a sharp long knife was held in the palm of his hand.
