Ruan Geng looked calm as he touched his granddaughter's head. If the Ding'an Hou Mansion could not protect Ruan Mianmian, the Ruan family would be doomed.
"Don't worry, my grandfather is here."
"I have nothing to worry about, but please rest assured." Ruan Mianmian patted the back of Ruan Geng's hand, "You have a smart granddaughter, and the soldiers will be able to block the water and cover it up with the earth."
Ruan Geng was amused: "You are really confident, okay, grandpa knows."
"Are we going to the main hall?" Ruan Mianmian lifted the curtain and looked out curiously.
"Go to the Imperial Study Room." Ruan Geng shouted outside to tell the coachman in front.
"Grandpa, is the emperor in the imperial study?"
"Usually, after the imperial court, the emperor will return to the imperial study to handle government affairs."
"Oh, will we disturb the emperor if we go now?" Ruan Mianmian pouted, "I originally wanted to enter the palace in the afternoon, but there is no other way."
"It's okay. At most, the two of us will wait outside for a while." Ruan Geng comforted Ruan Mianmian.
Strangely, there seemed to be the sound of horse hooves. Eunuch Kang glanced at the emperor who was reviewing the memorial, and then quietly withdrew.
"what's up?"
"Younger ones don't even know."
"Hurry up and take a look." Eunuch Kang instructed the young eunuch waiting outside.
The little eunuch quickly left and returned: "Report to Manager Kang, the carriage of Marquis Ding'an is coming this way."
"The carriage of Marquis Ding'an." Eunuch Kang couldn't help but smile, "Could it be that the young princess has entered the palace? I haven't heard any news before."
"You are absolutely right," the eunuch emphasized.
Eunuch Kang said nothing and walked out with small steps. When he walked out, the carriage happened to stop. It turned out to be the carriage of the Marquis of Ding'an.
"My slave has met the chief steward of Kang Da." Jiuer jumped down from the front of the carriage. Now she knew that Eunuch Kang was the chief steward of the palace.
Eunuch Kang was deeply impressed by Jiu'er. She was the only maid who could stand up to a group of royal guards without fear.
"No need to be polite, is the princess here?" Eunuch Kang asked while looking towards the direction of the carriage.
"Hello, Eunuch Kang." The little breast dumpling lifted the curtain and smiled at Eunuch Kang.
"Hello, Princess, hello, Princess." Eunuch Kang bowed and spoke with a bit of joy.
Ruan Geng jumped out of the carriage first: "Eunuch Kang, the emperor is in the royal study."
"Yes, I'm busy right now. Oh, Old Marquis, please be careful." Eunuch Kang stepped forward.
"It's okay." Ruan Geng replied as he turned around and took the little breast dumpling out of the carriage.
Ruan Mianmian put her feet on the ground and smiled at Eunuch Kang and asked: "Eunuch Kang, you are so awesome, how did you know that I am coming?"
"I heard the sound of horse hooves in the royal study room. I felt strange and came out to take a look. I didn't expect that the princess was here." Eunuch Kang smiled broadly. He was really happy to see the little breast dumpling.
The Emperor can be happy for two or three days at a time when he sees Princess Linglong. When the master is happy, the people who serve him will feel relaxed. The holy will is unpredictable, and he is always as cautious as a stretched string. Eunuch Kang's life is not easy either.
Seeing Ruan Mianmian chatting with Eunuch Kang, Ruan Geng didn't interrupt and just stood beside him with a smile.
"By the way, Eunuch Kang, I brought something specially for you." Ruan Mianmian brought it out when she returned to her room. She knew that she would go to the palace today and let Shuang'er work overnight.
Eunuch Kang said with a smile: "Princess, if you bring something for me, I won't be able to bear it."
Ruan Geng stroked his beard and raised his eyebrows. He once told Ruan Mianmian about the temperament of several eunuchs in the palace. It was Eunuch Pei who loved to take advantage, not Eunuch Kang.
Did Xiao Naituanzi remember it wrong? Are you planning to give Eunuch Kang some belongings?
"You're welcome, the things I gave you are not valuable."
Hearing Ruan Mianmian's words, not only did Eunuch Kang have inexplicable expectations, but Ruan Geng's curiosity was also aroused.
"Sister Jiu'er, where are the things?" Ruan Mianmian turned around and asked.
"Here it is." Jiu'er took it out from his sleeve and handed it over.
Ruan Mianmian took it and turned around to send it to Eunuch Kang: "Here, take it."
"Princess, what is this?" He took it and looked down at it. After looking around, Eunuch Kang really couldn't understand it.
Ruan Geng stepped forward and didn't understand, "Mianmian, what is this?"
"Knee pads. Eunuch Kang often has to kneel in the palace. If you tie this to your knees and put on your pants, it won't hurt when you kneel." Ruan Mianmian explained.
"It's a good thing. Thank you very much, Princess." Eunuch Kang was very happy.
Holding it in his hand and looking through it, Eunuch Kang felt that it was stuffed with cotton wool, and the cloth wrapped outside was very soft. The stitches were very finely sewn. The two straps were elastic and tied around the knees without hindering daily activities.
Ruan Mianmian took out another piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Eunuch Kang: "I saw you walking abnormally yesterday. It should be rheumatism that causes knee pain. You can try this prescription, and maybe you can let the imperial doctor take a look before making a decision.
Use it or not."
Eunuch Kang took the prescription and looked at Ruan Mianmian, who was so excited that he couldn't speak. After decades in the palace, he had long lost contact with his family. Step by step, he got to where he is today, sitting in the position of chief steward, and there are many people who flatter him.
Yes, but the only one who cares about him is the little baby in front of him.
"Princess!" Eunuch Kang lifted up his clothes and planned to kneel down and thank you.
Ruan Mianmian quickly supported Eunuch Kang with both hands: "There is no need for false courtesy or polite words. Yesterday, my father-in-law deliberately led the emperor to Prince Jing's Mansion, and I haven't thanked you yet."
Ruan Geng nodded and interjected: "Eunuch Kang, it's not just Mianmian who wants to thank you, I also want to thank you. It's tacitly understood."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, and thank you, Princess." Eunuch Kang still solemnly thanked her.
"Put your things away." Ruan Mianmian looked inside, "Where is the Emperor?"
"Master Marquis, Princess, please follow me." Eunuch Kang led the way.
After a short walk to the Imperial Study Room, Ruan Mianmian told the story of the Empress summoning him in a calm voice.
After hearing this, he knew exactly who Eunuch Kang was.
"Princess, if there is a chance later, let the emperor accompany you to Kunyi Palace."
Ruan Mianmian's eyes brightened: "Yes, why didn't I think of this move?"
"The Queen Mother is kind, and she will definitely like the princess when she sees her. If you have time, you can also go to the Yanshou Palace." Eunuch Kang said in a low voice.
Ruan Geng landed behind Ruan Mianmian and Eunuch Kang. He heard what they said very clearly. He had to say that the chief manager was sincere in his kindness to Xiaotai Tuanzi, so he spoke frankly to give her a heads up.
The imperial study room is right in front of you. There are guards guarding the door and several young eunuchs waiting on you.
Ruan Geng signaled Ruan Mianmian to stop. The grandfather and grandson were waiting outside, and Eunuch Kang went in to report.
"The little baby is here." The emperor was very happy. "It came just in time. Just now I was thinking that if she didn't come in the next two days, I would issue an order to summon her to the palace."
"The old Marquis came with the princess." Eunuch Kang reminded without leaving any trace.
The emperor ordered: "Why are you still standing there? Please come in together."
