Yan Fufu may be young, but that doesn't mean she's ignorant.

I used to think my aunt was no good, but I was really young and couldn't control her.

But through this uproar, she learned quite a bit. Some of her servants were from the Cui family.

Yan Fufu's surname is Yan, neither Xie nor Cui. She always kept a low profile when she entered the palace, because she didn't know who to please.

Princess Yongmu knew that her mother was a concubine, and her sister had fought for what she was entitled to; Yan Fufu was probably like that.

Perhaps it's also a matter of personality. However, Princess Yongmu wondered, if a day came when she needed to, would her sister sell her daughter or cherish her?

She also has a mother, so is the reason she's not selling simply because the price isn't high enough?

Yan Boxuan is very lively.

Princess Huayang asked Qing'e, "Has the imperial physician seen you recently?"

Yan Boxuan looked at his aunt: "Is the Empress ill?"

Huan Yue calmly replied, "You're out of your mind."

Yan Boxuan frowned, touched his aunt's forehead to hers, and asked in a childish voice, "Are you feeling better?"

Huan Yue blinked: "It seems a bit better."

Yan Boxuan was delighted and touched his aunt's forehead with his own, saying, "Your Majesty is so kind! All your illnesses have vanished."

Huan Yue lied to the child: "Some diseases are incurable."

Yan Boxuan looked at her, puzzled.

Huan Yue coaxed, "Some people are blind, some are lame. At first, they might have medicine, but later it became incurable. They are all so pitiful."

Yan Boxuan nodded blankly: "My uncle is lame."

The wet nurse whispered to Lady Huan, "The third son of the Prince of Xiang, whose mother is Lady Wan."

Huan Yue blinked. The Queen Consort of Xiang had passed away, and the King doted solely on Lady Wan. All three of their sons were born to Lady Wan.

So Princess Huayang set her sights on her uncle, Prince Xiang, again?

Huan Yue asked, "Is it a foot injury?"

The wet nurse said, "He fell down, and everyone joked about it, but he didn't take it to heart."

Yan Boxuan listened in bewilderment: "Lame!"

Huan Yue quickly coaxed him, "You're not lame. Children say the darndest things, let's not talk about these things."

Yan Boxuan blinked.

Huan Yue coaxed him, "A wise person sees through things but doesn't say it."

Yan Boxuan raised his small, chubby hand to cover his mouth and stopped talking.

Huan Yue nodded: "Let others say what they want. If they dare to talk nonsense, then take action."

Yan Boxuan nodded.

The wet nurse dared not utter a sound. The first half of the Empress's words were perfectly instructive, but the second half revealed her true colors?

Princess Huayang was somewhat flustered and resentful. She could only explain it clearly: "The child of the Yongning Prince's Mansion and the Pei family has been lost."

Huan Yue looked at her, showing no mercy: "Does the princess think that piece of flesh can be born during the mourning period for her grandfather?"

Di Baose loudly mocked, "The Pei family has absolutely no sense of propriety or shame! During the mourning period for their grandfather, their granddaughters are all rushing to their door; such a thing is rare in the world. I didn't expect the princess to have no opinion at all?"

Guo Bing said, "Even the King of Wu dared not let her give birth."

Prince Yongning loves flowers, which his father can't control; but there are some lines he can't cross, otherwise Prince Wu might not be able to handle it.

Huan Yue looked at Princess Huayang coolly: "The princess is becoming more and more impressive."

Princess Huayang pointed at Di Baose: "You've been in the Eastern Palace for almost half a year."

Di Baose jumped up and yelled, "Believe it or not, I'll slap you twice across the face!"

Princess Huayang is furious!

Di Baose spat in her face: "Pah! Don't even mention you interfering in the affairs of the Eastern Palace, Princess Yongmu is sitting right here, and you really are a good sister!"

Princess Huayang suddenly looked at Princess Yongmu.

Princess Yongmu sat to one side with her head down, so gentle and beautiful, like a statue, devoid of any human presence.

Yan Fufu held her aunt's hand.

Princess Yongmu gave her a faint smile. Di Baose bluntly stated that it was nothing. She didn't care about having a child from the He family.

Princess Yongmu spent more than two months in the Eastern Palace, and it was clear that Qing'e did not care much about giving birth to a legitimate son.

Women are not machines for bearing children for men.

The eldest son is not a tool for vying for power and profit.

Besides, Princess Huayang coming to the East Palace to say this is just asking for trouble!

Yan Boxuan looked at his mother, then at Di Baose, completely bewildered.

Huan Yue couldn't avoid the child; it was his mother who started it. Huan Yue could only say, "This is an adult matter."

Yan Boxuan leaned against her chest, his head buried in her arms. The adult world was so hard to understand.

Di Baose sneered: "Using children, you really have no shame! Don't ever tell anyone how much you love your child again!"

The palace maid helped Princess Huayang clean her face.

Princess Huayang is beautiful, so it's not a big problem if she wipes off her face cream.

Princess Huayang, disregarding her own shame, said to Huan Yue, "Old Madam Li of the Pei family is seriously ill, and you have never shown any concern for her."

Huan Yue asked, "Do you think you have a big face just because I didn't slap you across the face?"

Princess Huayang was furious: "I'm doing this for your own good!"

Huan Yue said, "I don't even understand it myself!"

Di Baose sneered: "Get your own children and siblings sorted out before worrying about anything else. Do you think you live by the sea and worry about so many things all day?"

A palace attendant came over.

Princess Huayang held back her words.

The eunuch relayed a message to Consort Huan: "Prince Zheng plans to go to sea."

"What?"

Princess Huayang screamed! She jumped up! Everyone was in a sorry state!

Yan Boxuan was truly startled.

Huan Yue hugged him and comforted him.

Princess Yongmu held Yan Fufu to comfort her.

Yan Fufu hid in her aunt's arms and didn't say a word.

Princess Huayang snapped out of her daze and roared at Huan Yue, "What have you done? Can you take responsibility if something happens to Prince Zheng?"

Huan Yue said, "Don't bring the kids next time. It'll just get in my way when I'm slapping you. Even if you don't take care of the kids, they're still part of the Yan family."

Princess Huayang reached out to snatch her son, but Huan Yue kicked him away.

Yan Boxuan didn't see it and was handed over to the wet nurse by his aunt. He liked that his aunt smelled nice!

Even if the wet nurse is holding the baby and can't avoid it, she should keep her distance. Princess Huayang has been completely bewildered by Prince Zheng.

Princess Yongmu could only sneer.

Di Baose remained impulsive: "She has no brothers or sisters. She only has herself. Everyone else is sold by weight. The Empress still wants to go into business, but Prince Zheng is quite open-minded. I wonder when we can go?"

Guo Bing was helpless. Didn't Di Baose think it was inappropriate to say that at this time?

Huan Yue didn't mention Di Baose. Actually, he felt that the King of Zheng had at least the courage to make this decision.

Otherwise, being driven crazy by Princess Huayang's constant antics would drive him mad.

If you can't afford to offend him, then you should avoid him; otherwise, you might not be able to escape.

It's estimated that the Cui family will try their best to stop it, and who knows what might happen.

Huan Yue was too lazy to get involved unless the matter escalated to her level.

Princess Huayang left in a hurry, not knowing whether she was looking for her mother, her father, or her brother.

Huan Yue didn't stop her, just to see what tricks she could come up with.

Di Baose and Princess Yongmu said, "You don't need to worry about it, just stay here and relax." Looking at Yan Fufu, she added, "Your mother can't take care of you for the time being."

Huan Yue scolded, "Take a break." Then he said to Yan Fufu, "Go play with your aunt for a while?"

Yan Fufu stood up and obediently bowed, saying, "Thank you, Aunt."

Huan Yue patted her head: "Children don't have to act like adults all the time. There are many days to grow up. While you're still young, be happy."

Yan Fufu remained well-behaved, but she liked her aunt very much.

Princess Yongmu took her little hand and led her for a stroll in the back garden.

Yan Boxuan's commotion soon reached his aunt's place.

The wet nurse said helplessly to Consort Huan, "He often makes a fuss about wanting to see you, Your Highness."
