Di Baose arrived at the rear hall of Qing'e Palace.

Just then, news arrived that Empress Dong insisted on marrying Chen Fengnu to the King of Qi, and the Emperor had granted the marriage.

Huan Yue was writing calligraphy in his study.

Di Baose went to see Guo Bing again.

Xuexiangyuan.

There was a medicinal smell, but it was cleaned much better.

Di Baose sat in the main room.

Guo Bing came out and sat down with the help of palace maids. She was wearing an orange silk robe and looked quite well.

Di Baose felt much more at ease, and laughed: "That Chen Fengyi is extremely fun."

Sunny said, "Consort Chen insisted that His Highness only loves Chang Chenghui and that he will be hers in the future. It's probably a misunderstanding on His Highness's part, so he's telling Chang Chenghui to take the initiative."

Guo Bing was amused, her face flushed red, and she looked adorable.

Sunny is a beauty, but Guo Liangdi is a different kind of beauty. She said something more interesting: "Chen Fengyi is very confident. This year, Huangxu and the twenty-eight prefectures are suffering from a severe drought. The disaster victims will go to the capital to kill the emperor's brother-in-law. He will have Chang Chenghui offer a plan to His Highness, so that His Highness will have a reason to favor Chang Chenghui."

Guo Bing resumed her icy demeanor.

Sunny thought to herself, "She's not competing for favor again."

Lady Shan said, "Does that mean if Chen Fengyi is talking nonsense, Your Highness will follow suit and become a laughing stock? Even if there is a drought, there are times when a blind cat catches a dead mouse."

Sunny understood. Matters of the court were none of Chen Fengyi's business.

Even if there really is a drought, who knows how long it will drag on? Let alone something that's completely unfounded.

Shan said calmly, "We can't let Chen Fengyi and Chang Chenghui, those two brainless idiots, talk nonsense."

Di Baose understood: "If your skin itches, give it a beating."

Ms. Shan smiled. The beating had a pretty good effect.

Sunny laughed and said, "That Consort Chen is still not clear-headed. He thinks that His Highness has misunderstood Chang Chenghui and that the time is not right."

Sun said, "She just arrived; she'll wake up eventually."

Sunny nodded. Even if she wasn't fully conscious, she probably wouldn't have the time or energy to serve Chang Chenghui every day.

Di Baose said, "Chen Fengyi agreed to be a slave or maid, how can we stop her from being loyal? She can just be a palace maid in the inner palace."

Sunny felt that she had brought it on herself.

She laughed and said, "Even if His Highness favors Chang Chenghui, what kind of behavior does Consort Chen exhibit?"

Zhu Jin said, "They are opportunistic and have no backbone whatsoever."

Sunny nodded. It's not about siding with whoever is best. Although many people do that.

But there are other options. For example, Consort Huan doesn't try to please His Highness, but instead does what she wants.

Being someone else's dog is less desirable than being your own master, but those who are dogs for others often like to abuse their power.

Sunny found it funny: "Chen Fengyi is really something else."

Xiao Lian said, "Wasn't the Meng family like this?"

If she were to focus on pleasing the You family, would things be any better?

It's not uncommon for wives to fawn over concubines and masters to fawn over servants.

Some people are completely shameless.

Seeing that Guo Bing was alright, Di Baose went to Qing'e Palace.

Huan Yue emerged from the study, exuding an air of scholarly refinement.

Di Baose snorted. With her immense strength, she wasn't afraid of crushing the book.

Xie Zhou came over.

Behind him, eunuchs carried two boxes of books.

Huan Yue thought to himself that she didn't really enjoy reading.

Di Baose left as soon as she saw the book, afraid of being held back if she was even a little late.

"No," Di Baose turned back and asked His Highness, "Where are the Twenty-Eight Prefectures of Huangxu?"

Xie Zhou retorted, "Why are you asking this?"

Di Baose swore to the heavens: "I did not steal credit from Chang Chenghui."

Xie Zhou said angrily, "Why don't you read some books and practice your calligraphy? If you want to beat her up, then beat her up, or demote her to the rank of Fengyi."

Di Baose nodded: "Okay."

Xie Zhou added, "It is clearly a mistake to let her live in Shicui Palace, as it will give rise to some wrong ideas."

Di Baose looked at Huan Yue: "Isn't it because she saved you?"

Xie Zhou asked, "Wasn't it Fuminbo who saved me?"

Di Baose asked, "Then let her live in the pigsty?"

Xie Zhou said, "Put Luo Chenghui here first, tidy up Shicui Hall properly, and invite Consort Guo to stay there."

Di Baose said, "Guo Liangdi doesn't care, don't bother her." She exchanged a glance with Huan Yue, "After all, she won't be staying for long, let's wait a while. If she's put together with Luo Yaohui, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause."

Di Baose confirmed that His Highness was probably tired of Chang Ziyu, but it was hard to say whether he would like the next one.

If we want to clear out the Shicui Hall to wait for the newlyweds, that's fine.

Di Baose felt that she was virtuous enough.

Whether His Highness was covering for Chang Ziyu or not is irrelevant.

Letting ambitious people see things they shouldn't see can indeed have negative consequences.

But then again, if you can't figure things out either way, it's probably pointless to stay anywhere.

Xie Zhou was truly fed up with Chang Ziyu; it would be best to just kill her.

But Xie Zhou had to admit what he had done, even if he had to kneel down.

Huan Yue went to the east side room to prepare for dinner.

Xie Zhou sidled up to his wife, begging for a bite to eat.

Huan Yue ignored him. The weather outside was nice, and she had a good appetite.

Xie Zhou asked his wife, "Where should we have a barbecue tonight?"

Huan Yue asked, "Does Your Highness have some free time?"

Xie Zhou hurriedly replied, "Yes. When I'm not with Your Majesty, I'm mostly idle."

The crown prince's job is so easy; only the emperor works himself to the bone.

Seeing her expression, Xie Zhou knew he hadn't answered correctly, so he quickly tried to salvage the situation: "I'm not busy lately, and the moonlight is nice tonight."

Huan Yue thought to himself, "If I can't spend romantic nights with my beloved, can I find someone to help me pass the empty and lonely nights?"

Xie Zhou, eager to show off his grilling skills, urged his wife, "Where should we put it?"

Huan Yue said, "Then let's go by the lotus pond."

Romantic moments under the moon and flowers still exist. It's close to the kitchen, so getting whatever you need is easy.

There's also the issue of fire prevention. The area around the lotus pond is also quite spacious.

Xie Zhou thought about it and thought it was a good place to admire the lotus flowers at night, although the atmosphere was a bit clashing.

Xie Zhou asked, "I have invited my elder brother, Di Shan, and Wen Yuan. Who else would Your Majesty like to invite?"

Huan Yue said, "No one invited her. Perhaps Miss Wen, but unfortunately Consort Guo is not in good health. I will have Gong Zhaoxun and the others prepare."

Xie Zhou quickly said, "They don't need it."

Huan Yue thought, "They're not bad, are they?"

Xie Zhou said to his wife, "It is already a blessing that the Empress can give them a peaceful life."

Huan Yue finished his meal.

Xie Zhou finished eating, came over, took his wife's hand, and looked intently into her eyes.

He was tall, and she looked beautiful from the front, nose, and eyelashes.

Huan Yue, ah. Everyone gets old, even men can become greasy.

Xie Zhou held her in his arms, thinking that growing old together would be wonderful: "The case in Baishi Village is about to be closed."

Huan Yue wandered around the courtyard casually.

Xie Zhou followed along, slowly saying, "Bai Sheng and Bai Xiucai have always had a grudge. Knowing that a lot of people had come to Baishi Village and that they were related to Bai Xiucai, they wanted to take advantage of the situation. Later, they decided to kill him."

Huan Yue thought to himself, "There are many people like this in the world who are unreasonable."

Xie Zhou said, "Before Miss Chang Er discovered it, the Bai and Chang families in Baishi Village were almost at each other's throats."

Huan Yue blinked.

Xie Zhou kissed her: "Baishi Village is only so big. There are many people from the two surnames, and some conflicts arise. The people of Baishi Village know about the conflict between Bai Xiucai and the Chang family."
