As everyone knows, Luo Jieyu sided with Empress Dong.

But will this matter end with Dong pushing Shen to compete for favor, and eventually turning them into enemies?

Lady Shen dared not, but Lady Dong was like a murderer to her father. Even after she was made empress, it was probably because Empress Mingde had made Lady Shen a virtuous consort that Lady Dong harbored hatred for her again.

That's just the kind of person Lady Dong is. She's the Empress; she doesn't need anyone to rely on her!

Everyone should listen to her, but Consort Cui doesn't listen, nor does she need anyone else.

Several women in the harem sided with Empress Dong, but they received no benefits and had no children.

So now that Empress Dong is finished, several people have stopped. It's not exactly betrayal, since Empress Dong never really accepted them.

Luo Jieyu wasn't exactly a loyal lackey, but perhaps it was her personality.

Finally, Xing Cairen reminded her: "Do you want to be demoted?"

Luo Jieyu was startled!

She doesn't want to be demoted! Nobody wants a demotion, let alone a promotion. However, if it's the Qing'e Palace, there's no need to file a complaint; as long as things escalate...

The sage seemed to have been watching this place the whole time, not because he didn't trust Qing'e, but because he was afraid that someone would bully her.

I'm just jealous! So jealous I'm going crazy, what can I do?

Luo Jieyu left in tears.

It makes me want to punch her again.

Six-year-old Princess Yongning was a little at a loss.

Huan Yue looked at Princess Yongmu; since her eldest sister wasn't around, she was the most important person, so she took charge.

Princess Yongmu smiled gently and took her sixth sister's hand.

Princess Yongning saw that she was much better, and then she remembered something else.

Princess Changning, with her voluptuous beauty, pointed at her and scolded, "What nonsense is your mother spouting? If Third Sister is being bullied, why shouldn't we help her? I may not be capable, but I would have stormed into the He family like Second Sister-in-law and Second Brother!"

Huan Yue patted Chang Ning's head: "Second sister-in-law is the only one who rushed to the He family. As long as you have money, there are plenty of people willing to die for wealth and birds willing to die for food."

Princess Changning hugged her arm and exclaimed, "Second Sister-in-law, really?"

Huan Yue nodded: "This is a truth that everyone understands. When you start your own household or marry into a wealthy family, a man can't be relied on without money. If you are capable, earn your own money, earn lots and lots of money. No matter which brother you have or your father, they will all have to borrow money from you. If you don't know how, find someone who does and let them earn lots and lots of money for you."

Princess Changning exclaimed excitedly, "I want to earn money!"

Princess Yongmu pulled Yongning away; most people don't have that kind of courage.

Guo Bing, Gong Zhaoxun, and others were busy making mooncakes, watching as Consort Huan was about to lead the princess astray.

Princess Guangning also changed her clothes and came to work. She wasn't crooked.

Seeing that she looked quite professional, Di Baose asked, "What do you usually do?"

Ren Zhaoxun said, "Didn't Her Majesty say that she is learned and talented?"

Princess Guangning said shyly, "No, it's just that I occasionally make things with my mother."

Guangning visits Guo Bing.

Di Baose understood: "You talented women are together."

Princess Yongmu observed that Guangning was a few years younger; otherwise, she would be more suited to play with Guo Bing.

Guangning is also quite talented and literate.

Guangning also liked her third sister. It's just that in the past, the Dong Empress's lineage and the Cui Consort's lineage kept their distance.

In fact, Princess Guangning felt that her third sister was only more beautiful and gentler than Consort Cui, but not in any other way.

Guo Bing looked around and saw that the princesses here finally looked like sisters, and that the emperor's decision was very wise.

Princess Changning had no interest in making mooncakes; she preferred to earn money with her second sister-in-law.

Huan Yue was actually ignorant; he was all talk and no action.

Changning is happy.

Money can't buy her happiness, and Huan Yue thought it was good that she was happy.

Di Baose shouted, "You two, don't even think about slacking off!"

Huan Yue replied, "What are you slacking off for? I'm the one who kneads the dough all the time."

Changning laughed loudly! Second sister-in-law is very strong.

Huan Yue said to her, "It takes strength to press the mooncakes down."

Changning looked at her own thin arms and legs and thought, "I can't do that!" But her second sister-in-law also had thin arms and legs.

The eunuch chuckled and said, "Your Highness, don't ruin the mark."

Yu Yan then brought over a few more molds.

When Princess Changning first saw this, she noticed that it was all made of wood and had various shapes in the middle.

Changning pointed to one and said, "I like this!"

Huan Yue said, "I'll use this seal to make it for you to eat later."

Princess Changning counted on her fingers: "Chongxi Palace needs a hundred, my maternal grandfather..."

Stop! Stop!

Princess Changning, oblivious to the danger and full of emotion, calculated: "At least two hundred. My aunt's family..."

The palace maid reminded the little princess, "The Crown Prince's Palace didn't prepare that many."

The little princess looked innocently at her second sister-in-law, blinking her eyes. Why? Was she short of money?

The young palace maid said cautiously, "This is our first year making it, so we're not sure if it will taste good."

Why does the little princess blink and say it doesn't taste good?

The palace maid said, "Your Highness's cooking is a little different from before; the cooks all have to try it."

The little princess blinked, so hadn't she already tried it?

Huan Yue unleashed his ultimate weapon: "Even your father has never tasted it."

Princess Changning belatedly realized: "Does it really have to be next year?"

Huan Yue said, "No. We'll make less this year. If you like it, we'll make more next year. If you don't like it, making too much is a waste. Wasting food is shameful."

She shamelessly taught her children: "Farmers toil under the midday sun, their sweat dripping onto the soil; who knows the hardship behind every grain of rice on the plate? We'll cook as much as we want to eat, and we can make whatever we like to eat anytime."

Changning asked, "Are we still eating mooncakes after Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Huan Yue asked, "Use the same materials, but different molds?"

Princess Changning laughed: "I heard that Second Sister-in-law is going to distribute them to the palace servants, so just add two hundred more."

Huan Yue nodded: "Anyway, we'll use this mold to make a thousand. Just follow this guide."

Aww! So happy!

Huan Yue didn't say anything. Just because you like something now doesn't mean you'll like it tomorrow. And what if the mooncakes don't look like the mold when they're actually made?

Come on, Huan Yue needs to knead the dough.

A group of people were very happy, while a group of cooks were extremely busy.

Fortunately, no one caused trouble; the Sixth Princess stayed with Princess Yongmu.

Princess Changning watched from the sidelines, resolutely refusing to make a move.

Princess Guangning asked, "Fourth Sister, are you really not going to do it?"

Princess Changning quickly said, "I've chosen the mold; I'll use that one later."

Princess Guangning looked at her thin arms and legs and guessed that she would have to cry before she could print two more.

A group of people watched as Qing'e kneaded the dough; what a sight!

It could probably be kneaded into dough even from a large rock. I'm referring to its fine texture.

A palace maid asked curiously, "Didn't the Pei family confess?"

Those with inside information said, "Pei Bo and the Qian family shamelessly pinned the blame on the Li family."

Princess Changning spat, "She's shameless! Does she think this old woman can't do anything to her? I've heard that Qian Shi switched the child."

Ren Zhaoxun could understand this: "If Madam Qian said that Madam Li forced her, she was a young wife at that time."

If the young wife were to sue her grandmother, even if it meant putting the greater good before family, the situation would still be unpleasant.

Princess Changning retorted, "Could it be that the years of abuse that Qian Shi inflicted on my second sister-in-law were all forced upon me by Li Shi?"

The young palace maid said, "That's all she said. Can we go to Lady Li?"

Princess Changning sneered: "Killing Cao Shi wasn't something Li Shi forced us to do."

The eunuch whispered from the side, "That was done by servants. Haven't many servants died?"

In short, is the Qian family alright?
