At Jixian Pavilion, a group of people were eating melons.

The best tribute items were all reserved for the Qing'e Palace.

So they all became addicted to freeloading.

Shi Qingzhu wasn't a newly appointed official; she was simply mingling among a group of palace maids, observing the spectacle.

The atmosphere at Qing'e Palace was wonderful; everyone looked beautiful. She was too.

The palace maid's clothes were only average, but Shi Qingzhu didn't usually wear such nice clothes. Dressed up, she looked much more beautiful than usual.

However, seeing that Sunny and Ginny are both beauties is quite nice.

They weren't all sullen and grimacing, making one worry they wouldn't live to see tomorrow, nor were they sarcastic or forced smiles.

Look how happy Di Baose is! With the two beauties of Sheng'an, plus an ice queen, and the gentle beauty Princess Yongmu, it's a sight to behold.

A palace attendant ran over and reported, "The Imperial Concubine has arrived."

Di Baose was stunned: "What's she doing here?"

Huan Yue glanced at her and said, "Sit down."

Shi Qingzhu noticed that Di Baose had instantly become dignified and noble, resembling a concubine of the Crown Prince.

Several maids moved aside to shield Princess Yongmu from the rear.

Although I will stand up when I pay my respects, judging from the imposing manner in which the Imperial Concubine is coming, I probably won't need to pay any attention to her.

In the Jixian Pavilion, there is a row of chairs on the east side, which can seat five or six people if they are seated separately; in front of it is a stone table, with two tall tables on it, on which tea, melons and other dishes are placed. A circle of palace maids are serving around it.

Two reclining chairs were placed diagonally on the west side, along with several other chairs and stools.

It's basically full.

Consort Cui charged over, followed by a group of people.

Given the tragic fate of Empress Dong in the Eastern Palace, many of the Cui family's servants stopped coming in and stood outside.

Many of the Cui family's servants died because of Princess Yongmu, so even if they came in large numbers, they wouldn't dare to face Consort Huan.

Consort Cui didn't dress up properly, making her look much older.

It's true that she was born beautiful, and it's also true that she's past her prime.

Moreover, the pavilion was filled with young women.

Consort Cui sat down on the stool and, without saying a word, began to weep towards Qing'e.

Huan Yue sat on the recliner and ate another piece of melon.

The palace maids helped her clean up; she was simply dressed up and not dressed up much, but she was young.

Shi Qingzhu observed that Consort Huan's beauty was different from that of the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine was a delicate flower, while Consort Huan had a graceful figure, refined manners, and a particularly dignified air.

Or rather, beautiful flowers may wither, but some things will not.

Consort Cui cried, and no one else dared to say a word.

Huan Yue remained silent.

If Consort Cui continues to cry, it will be embarrassing for her. It would be quite embarrassing for an elder to cry in front of a group of juniors.

But today she seemed to have no other choice, and cried to Qing'e, "What am I supposed to do? What about Si Lang?"

Huan Yue said coldly, "Your Highness is talking about Prince Zheng? Who cares about the Emperor's business! You're just a concubine, you're not qualified to interfere! The Emperor spoils you, he spoils you rotten! You want the stars but not the moon! You ask me what I can do to get you the stars? I can punch you so hard that your eyes will be full of stars."

Di Baose quickly covered her mouth, it wasn't time to laugh.

Guo Bing wore a cold expression. She thought Lady Huan's description was absolutely brilliant!

Consort Cui's naturally beautiful face froze.

Huan Yue said righteously, "You ask me and I'll answer you. Have you ever considered what other people think? You are selfish! Foolish! Cruel! Your selfishness lies in the fact that your children's thoughts don't matter, you just want the stars! If you don't get the stars, you throw a tantrum! You think others have wronged you! Do you think you are a princess? That you are pampered by the emperor? In reality, you are just a concubine."

Consort Cui's face turned red with anger.

Huan Yue sneered: "You've become too arrogant from spoiling your concubine. Prince Zheng is the king of Great Zhao. A man of the Xie family can't even have his own thoughts. What right do you have to interfere with him? You're giving birth to him because you're a saint! He's a person, not your plaything! You'd rather chain him up at home, why not just strangle him to death? Anyway, you have many children. You won't even care if one of them dies."

Consort Cui roared, "I did it all for him! Did you do something wrong?"

Huan Yue scoffed, "What I do is none of your business! Princess Yongmu also wants to go into business. As long as I support her, you can't stop her. If you don't believe me, you can try it in the Cold Palace!"

Consort Cui cried out, "How could you be so vicious?"

Huan Yue sneered, "Ignorant fool! Look how well you've raised the sixth prince, so plump and healthy. He's a prince, born to be rich and noble. Who's bringing him that wealth? The Emperor is often busy until midnight, yet your son is carefree. Is this your love for the Emperor? The Emperor has tolerated you until today; I don't know what kind of good fortune you've accumulated over countless lifetimes! If this were the countryside, a son this age who doesn't work would beat me half to death!"

Di Baose said slowly, "No poison, no man!"

Guo Bing coldly replied, "A matriarch of the household cannot be without rules."

This means that Consort Cui was a concubine.

Consort Cui had no time to pay attention to her concubines.

Guo Bing couldn't let Consort Huan be alone, and Di Baose was learning from Consort Huan.

Although Di Baose could not teach Consort Cui a lesson, she could teach many others a lesson.

Consort Cui had no choice but to go all out, crying loudly, "What do you know? Do you know how dangerous this is?"

Huan Yue said coldly, "Do you know how dangerous the battlefield is? Do you think all the soldiers of Great Zhao deserve to die? Why should we keep a pampered flower like you? Shouldn't you be the one who deserves to die?"

Consort Cui was furious!

Huan Yue was still holding the Phoenix Mace, which seemed to be more effective than the Phoenix Seal.

Huan Yue said, “Ignorant fool! You will never know how beautiful the sky is! You will never know how magnificent the sea is! You do not know that ‘a man should die on the battlefield, wrapped in a horsehide for burial, how can he lie in bed and be killed by women and children?’ You do not know that being buried at sea is the best end, and dying in the embrace of the ocean is the highest honor!”
