Wang Chuyuan stood cautiously to one side.

Yu Anu stood with her.

The two knew each other before and got along well. Now that they had just arrived at the East Palace, they naturally had no right to speak.

Yu Anu had heard that the Eastern Palace was like a dragon's den or a tiger's lair. Anyone who dared to venture into such a place would inevitably be beaten.

The lady recovered.

Huan Yue didn't care who she was at all. Just because she was Chen Zhen's aunt or uncle, did she dare to act on behalf of Dong Hou and cause trouble in the Eastern Palace?

Di Baose sat down.

The maid, imitating a cat, wiped her clean and considered whether to lick it, since that's what cats do.

Di Baose told her to step aside, took the tea from the palace maid, and drank it at the perfect temperature.

Huan Yue thought afternoon tea could be skipped. Afternoon tea was in the late afternoon, and they would eat their meal and wait for the sun to set before resting.

Ah! Chen Zhen is going crazy!

Guo Bing was speechless. Di Baose must have taken the opportunity to get revenge. She plucked quite a few of Chen Zhen's hairs.

So Wang Chuyuan thought Miss Chen was very bold. How dare she come to the East Palace? Did she think the Empress would back her up? Even the Empress herself probably wouldn't dare to come.

Chen Zhen's hair was messy, and her face was slightly crooked, with her mouth and eyes looking askew. She was facing the Crown Princess.

Huan Yue didn't laugh. There was indeed a problem behind this, but only a small one.

Even Princess Yongjia couldn't control the Crown Prince, so where did Chen Zhen get her confidence from? The Chan Sect?

Chen Zhen asked angrily, "Do you know who Miss Lan is?"

Huan Yue didn't know.

Chen Zhen asked, "The Lan family of Guangping? No wonder you didn't know about them."

They looked down on Huan Yue's background.

Huan Yue was not ashamed: "I thought you were smart, but it seems I was overthinking it."

The maid asked the lady, "Is this what it means to be more beautiful than a talented woman, more talented than a beauty, better off than a village girl, and more promising than a princess?"

Di Baose asked, "What's the point of having a brighter future than a princess? To be the empress?" She looked at Fang Tang.

Fang Tang wasn't the most beautiful, but she was extremely ambitious.

Fang Tang didn't think Miss Chen was a match for her either; there were many people in the world who wanted to be empress.

Lu Qingjiao said, "I'm not in a hurry to show off, I just want to say: 'It's enough for the Crown Princess to know that she is the heir apparent. Miss Lan and Miss Lü are just concubines in the Eastern Palace.'"

Di Baose said coldly, "Miss Chen thinks she can ride roughshod over the Crown Princess."

The lady was even more clever; she quickly pulled Chen Zhen away and made a hasty escape.

Chen Zhen was very unwilling.

But the lady was already seriously injured and didn't want to die here.

Chen Zhen seemed to know as well. Madam Dong hadn't sent her here with good intentions. However, she remembered this grudge.

Huan Yue came out of Shicui Hall and went to Wenqi Courtyard behind it to send the four attendants in.

Gong Zhaoxun and Ju Zhaoxun paid their respects to the Empress.

Huan Yue laughed and said, "You don't need to rush to move, take your time."

Gong Zhaoxun and Ju Zhaoxun expressed their gratitude. Wenqi Courtyard was slightly larger than Lüqi Courtyard. It wasn't really necessary, but rather that the Empress valued them and wanted them to mentor the newcomers.

Wang Chuyuan, Yu Anu, and the others hurriedly greeted the two Zhaoxun.

Huan Yue gave a word of advice: "Don't cause any trouble."

Neither Wang Chuyuan nor Yu Anu dared to.

Looking at Wenqi Courtyard, it's actually not bad. Although each person is only assigned one room, they can stay with a maid.

Each family had something, like a dowry.

In fact, the Wang family didn't give Wang Chuyuan much; they only gave her five hundred taels of silver. Even a concubine's daughter from a marquis's household shouldn't be treated so poorly.

Yu Anu is even less capable than Wang Chuyuan, but the things the Crown Prince prepared for her are quite good.

The two lived together in the east wing, where palace maids helped with tidying up, and soon there was a very sumptuous dinner.

Aside from the wedding night and the wedding candles, everything else was fine.

The two attendants in the west wing were also very quiet.

Huan Yue went to the Green Jade Courtyard.

Since the front hadn't moved yet, Ren Zhaoxun wasn't in a hurry to move to the backyard either.

Zhang Zhaoxun came out to pay his respects to Lady Huan.

Seeing that she was more at ease, Huan Yue reprimanded her, "Behave yourself here. This is your home. Lan Fengyi and Lu Fengyi might not have good tempers. If you come with them, you won't be able to handle it."

Zhang Zhaoxun watched as Lan Fengyi and Lu Fengyi carried the body back; it looked terrible! Don't follow them!

Neither Lan Fengyi nor Lu Fengyi's maidservants could hold on.

Di Baose had it dealt with, and then arranged for a few more palace maids to serve her. Anyway, a new batch of palace maids had been brought into the palace.

A palace attendant came to report: "The dowries and accompanying gifts from the Lan and Lu families have arrived."

Di Baose laughed heartily from the side: "Could it be that you're planning to hold a wedding ceremony tonight?"

The eunuch nodded silently, indicating that he understood.

Sunny glanced at the Empress: "Is the two families waiting for good news?"

Huan Yue asked, "Go and deliver some good news to them?"

Sunny quickly shook her head, "I wouldn't dare!"

Logically speaking, regardless of whose opinion it was based on, Miss Lan and Miss Lu should be granted the title of Liangyuan, or at least Chenghui, right? Fengyi is not even as good as a female official. Shanni is already an eighth-rank official.

Although female officials and imperial concubines are not part of the same system.

If the female official system is managed well in the future, even if the eighth rank is not enough, at least the sixth rank can suppress the Fengyi.

Ginny whispered, "People outside will definitely say that Her Majesty is stingy."

Huan Yue had an idea and called to Di Baose, "Take all the dowry."

Di Baose is excited!

Call for help to collect (or steal) the dowry!

Sun was speechless, and pulled Shan along with her.

Lady Shan knew the story of Di Liangdi's dowry and found it quite amusing.

As for the Lu family's dowry, it would be strange if it were clean. The Empress will definitely have a use for it.

The palace officials made room, so it was impossible to carry the items to the Chengxiang Hall. Even if they did, there wouldn't be enough space to fit them inside.

The Di family couldn't possibly be lacking that little thing.

Compared to the Di family, the Lu family, even if they are rich, are still country bumpkins.

Several people surrounded Lady Huan, but none of them dared to speak.

Cuizhu glanced at it and thought, since the Empress doesn't care, then so be it.

Neither the Lan family nor the Lu family can extend their influence into the Eastern Palace. Do they expect just anyone to ride roughshod over the Empress?

Huan Yue continued onward and took a look at Anxiang Courtyard.

The courtyard was tidy and orderly, and the chrysanthemums were in full bloom.

A ray of sunset shines down, making it seem even more vibrant.

Caiwei was busy fetching food, and then stood obediently to the side, thinking that the Empress was the most important person.

Huan Yue glanced at her and waved his hand: "Go."

Yes. Caiwei carefully went about her work, circling around the people.

She knew that two people had come to Anxiang Courtyard, that the Crown Prince had entered the palace, and that ten beauties had arrived. She also knew about the four people who had been beaten.

Caiwei thought to herself, "Living is not easy, it's so good to be alive. The Empress is such a kind person, it's like being a bodhisattva if you don't mess with her."

Luo Yaohui occupied two rooms on the east side, so both beauties were arranged on the west side, separated from Chang Ziyu by a room.

Although the two beauties weren't particularly attractive, someone still sent them dowries.

Afterwards, Empress Dong sent over a reward.

Huan Yue ignored it.

After all, the Empress can bestow gifts upon whomever she wants, as long as she doesn't cause trouble.

Luo Yaohui emerged and greeted the Empress at the doorway.

Huan Yue left.

With so many people arriving at once, things are bound to get chaotic for a while.

However, all the newly arrived palace maids were trained and instructed. Even if they were spread throughout the entire Eastern Palace, the impact wouldn't be too significant.

Twenty new people were added to the Qing'e Palace, including several elderly people and eunuchs.

Huan Yue had no interest in the work of being the crown princess, but he had to do it, just like doing practice problems.
