The cream, paste, and other substances used by Rong Xi to conceal her appearance required special liquids to dissolve, so her true appearance was not revealed by this basin of cold water.

But neither the bun nor the clothes were spared.

After her body was soaked, the girl's slender curves became more and more prominent. Such a pitiful appearance gave birth to a somewhat pitiable loneliness and weakness.

One after another, young men from aristocratic families arrived at the Hanlin Academy, and their eyes unconsciously fell on Rong Xi.

Those slightly ambiguous glances made Mu Huai feel unhappy. Seeing that Rong Xi's body curves were exposed due to the wet clothes, Mu Huai's eyes darkened slightly and ordered: "Go back and change clothes."

Rong Xi clasped his hands to cover his body, agreed to Mu Huai and quickly left the Hanlin Academy.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he bumped into Mu Qian and his brother, the second prince Mu Ji.

Mu Qian had a smile in her eyes, and she seemed to be speaking to Rong Xi with great pride, but in fact she was speaking to the person inside, "Hey, this guy was soaked in water just after he was transferred to Quyun Palace?"

Rong Xi listened to Mu Qian's strange words, but still did not lose any etiquette. He half-bent his knees and bowed to Mu Qian and Mu Jifu before running quickly to Quyun Palace.

Rong Xi was shivering from the cold, guessing in his mind that this was probably the fault of the second princess Mu Qian.

The rising sun was shining brightly, and after the prince and the royal family had all arrived, the master arrived with the book boy carrying the book box.

Everyone had sat down, waiting quietly for the Master to pass on his teachings, but Mu Huai was still where he was, staring at the puddle of water on the ground with a gloomy look on his face.

The Master didn't know what happened before, but he didn't dare to ask Mu Huai directly, so he asked Mu Zhen's third son, Mu Tao, the daughter of Concubine De.

Mu Tao told the Master roughly what happened.

After hearing this, the master stroked his white beard and knew in his heart that he would probably not be able to attend today's lesson.

The character of Mu Huai, the evil prince, is that he must retaliate for his anger. If he offends him, the end can only be described as "miserable".

At this time, Mu Huai's attendant Feng Feng Huohuo entered the room and shouted: "Come in!"

Everyone looked around and saw the handsome little eunuch with red lips and white teeth being pushed out by the burly attendant.

The little eunuch couldn't stand firm and turned over and fell to the ground.

When Mu Qian and Mu Ji saw the little eunuch, their expressions changed.

Mu Ji gouged out Mu Qian with his eyes.

This little eunuch is a member of Mu Qian's family. He is good at climbing rocks and walking on walls. He can also walk on roof ridges as fast as he can.

Seeing that his deeds were exposed, Mu Qian was about to break the jar, but was stopped by Mu Ji. He pretended to be confused and said to Mu Huai, "Why did the fourth brother arrest the little eunuch next to my sister?"

Mu Huai sneered and did not reply to Mu Ji's words. Then he glared at Mu Qian with sharp eyes and asked in a deep voice: "What good thing did you do? Are you going to pour cold water on me?"

Mu Qian shivered with fright. Mu Ji hurriedly protected his sister behind him and said: "What are you doing, fourth brother? You just caught my sister's servants at will, and you want to blame my sister for what happened this morning."

On your head?”

Mu Huai ordered the guards to turn over the little eunuch's hand, and saw that there were slightly wet mud marks on his palm, and the lines of the roof ridge could still be vaguely seen.

There is always frost on the roof in autumn. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the little eunuch must have been lying on the roof for a long time.

The mark of that hand is so deep, it must have been supporting the rugged spine.

With such conclusive evidence, Mu Qian and Mu Ji could no longer quibble.

Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, Mu Ji changed his face and showed a look of pampering his younger sister. He lowered his attitude to Mu Huai and said, "Fourth brother, Qianqian has a domineering temperament. It is my mother and concubine who discipline her."

If you are not careful, please spare her once today, and I will plead guilty to you on her behalf."

After saying that, Mu Ji actually raised his hands and bowed to his younger brother.

The eldest son of the clan and the son-in-law of the official family beside him all exclaimed, these two princes are really kind and their character is most like that of the current emperor. They couldn't complain that there were rumors in the court that the second prince, Mu Ji, was likely to be appointed as the crown prince.

Mu Huai felt disgusted with Mu Ji's behavior.

It's really pretentious.

Since he was so willing to put on a show, he would comply with his wishes and make him a good brother.

Mu Huai sneered and looked at Mu Qian and said, "This is in the Hanlin Academy. The late emperor once set a rule. If any prince or princess dares to cause trouble here, he will be punished by the ruler."

The master was shocked after hearing this.

This rule does exist. When the late emperor Mu You was still alive, the masters of the Hanlin Academy were very strict in discipline. The princes and daughters of the current emperor Mu Zhen's generation were often slapped.

But after Mu Zhen became emperor, although the rules of the Hanlin Academy still existed, no master dared to beat the prince or princess with a ruler.

The white-bearded master was afraid that Mu Huai would make him regain this rule, so he did not dare to offend the second princess.

Mu Ji was puzzled: "What does fourth brother mean by this?"

Mu Huai raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a serious tone: "Second brother has already said that you are the one responsible for your lax discipline. For the sake of my second sister's future, you must teach her a lesson today. You must also teach her a lesson like mine." An explanation for a palace maid who was drenched in cold water."

"this……"

Mu Ji looked at his younger sister who looked aggrieved, and then at the aggressive Mu Huai, unable to make a decision for a moment.

The third prince Mu Tao said at this time: "What the fourth brother said is right. The second sister made a mistake today. If the second brother doesn't punish her, the fourth brother will be disappointed."

After Mu Tao finished speaking, the surrounding clan members and officials did not dare to speak, but their expressions clearly showed approval.

Mu Ji wanted to save face the most, so he gritted his teeth, took the ruler from the book boy's hand, and whispered to Mu Qian to hold out his hand.

Mu Qian's eyes were red and she felt aggrieved, so she begged: "Brother~"

Mu Ji's attitude was no longer as gentle as before, and he urged her: "Why don't you reach out quickly?"

Mu Qian stretched out her hand tremblingly. Mu Ji was heartbroken, and without deliberately controlling his strength, he hit Mu Qian's palm hard with the ruler.

--"pain!"

Mu Qian was spoiled and spoiled, so how could she have suffered such injustice?

After the beating, Mu Ji gritted his teeth and asked Mu Huai, "Are fourth brothers satisfied this time?"

At this time, Rong Xi had changed his clothes and his bun was still half wet.

Mu Huai shivered when he saw Rong Xi entering the room.

This girl seems to have caught a cold.

Seeing this, his eyes darkened, and he replied to Mu Ji: "I am also her legitimate brother. If the second brother is reluctant to beat her, then I will do it for you."

When Mu Qian heard that Mu Huai was going to punish her with a ruler himself, she was so frightened that her almond-shaped eyes widened. She hurriedly said to Mu Ji: "Brother, you better hit me. Don't let him hit me. Please... …”

After all, Mu Qian is a delicate princess. This happened in front of the Master. Although it was justifiable for Mu Huai to ask for an explanation, he did not want the situation to get too out of control, so he said to Mu Huai: "Your Highness, just slap the princess with twenty hands." Already."

Mu Huai has always respected the Master, but his behavior today also disturbed the Master's normal teaching, so he remained silent, which was regarded as complying with the Master's request.

Mu Qian's voice became shriller every time.

It hurt, but when she shouted in such a harsh voice, she was actually venting her anger. She really hated these four cripples!

Mu Ji personally hit Mu Qian's hand with a ruler, and Mu Huai ordered his attendants to bring a basin of cold water with ice.

When everyone was slightly startled, they heard Mu Huai ordering Rong Xi: "Go, pour this basin of water on the eunuch's head."

After receiving the order, Rong Xi did not hesitate at all and responded with a soft voice: "Yes."

Then he immediately picked up the basin of water with his slender arms and poured it on the little eunuch's head without ceremony. The water poured all over the eunuch's head. Rong Xi whispered: "This is our master's punishment for you."

Yeah, you shouldn’t mess with our Fourth Prince, no matter who you mess with, it won’t be as simple as being thrown cold water on you next time.”

This behavior made Mu Tao and others stunned.

This palace maid has a sweet voice, but she acts like her master, resolutely and without any mercy.

It is true that the evil master has a barbarian slave.

When Mu Huai heard Rong Xi's words, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

But he still didn't let go of the eunuch's thoughts. He slightly bent his index finger, put it on his chin, and said to the eunuch: "Next time? There won't be a next time. Someone, drag him out and slap him on the eighty board."

Rong Xi was slightly shocked after hearing this.

She originally thought that Mu Huai would let her give up the matter after pouring cold water on the eunuch, but she didn't expect that he would even beat the eunuch.

If this eighty-eighty-year-old man is beaten, this little eunuch may not survive.

The master couldn't bear to see the blood, so he admonished: "Your Highness...since he is in the Hanlin Academy, then according to the rules of the Hanlin Academy, let him be rewarded with hundreds of tricks."

The third prince, Mu Tao, also felt that the punishment was too severe and came to advise Mu Huai: "Fourth brother, after all, this eunuch belongs to the second sister. If your servants in the palace can beat him at will, he can do whatever he wants. But since he is the second sister's person,

, you’d better show some mercy.”

Mu Huai pursed his thin lips slightly. It was difficult for him to understand why he should show mercy to the enemy, but the current situation was not good for him to take the eunuch's life anymore, so he pushed his wheelchair and went to Gaoji where he usually studied without saying a word.

.

After Mu Qian was slapped, she ran out crying.

——“I’ll give him two hundred blows, and I won’t miss a single one.”

After Mu Huai sat down, he turned around and ordered coldly.

This was actually said to the attendant, but Rong Xi was used to doing these things when he was by Yu Zhaorong's side.

Usually when teaching those little girls, such as slapping the mouth or pulling out wattle sticks, Yu Zhaorong would let her do it.

Rong Xi knew in his heart that she was usually kind to others, but she had authority.
