In the afternoon, the snow lessened.

Huan Yue rode in his car and came to see Chang Zihan again.

A six-year-old girl who has gone through this needs comforting.

Huan Yue should do what he can to avoid causing even bigger trouble in the future, which would only bring more headaches.

It's pointless for Dong Qian to kill his own son. It seems Cui Jin has gotten involved with the Princess of Yicheng.

However, the defeat of Princess Yicheng and the Zhuang family in Guangping County had a significant impact.

Huan Yue didn't want to get involved; Chang Zihan was easier to manage.

Fang Jieyu was not at Showa Palace; she had gone to help Consort De and Consort Xian.

Although there are now many people in the palace, there are still some things that need to be decided, and we can't afford to cause any more trouble.

Princess Guangning was very happy to see her second sister-in-law; there weren't many people in the palace who could bring such joy.

Huan Yue was also happy: "We can go play when the snow stops."

Princess Guangning sighed, "Where can we find something to do?"

Huan Yue said sadly, "You're just a kid, so have fun. You'll have even less free time when you grow up."

Princess Guangning smiled but didn't reply. "Second sister-in-law just wants to play around." But what she said wasn't wrong.

The palace maid whispered, "After entering the ninth month, Taiye Pond is quite fun."

Huan Yue said, "It's a pity the ice isn't thick enough to go ice skating on."

Actually, she doesn't know how to ski or ice skate, but now that she's healthier, she's allowed to have that ambition.

Taiye Pond is usually not very thick ice, so for safety reasons, no one goes there to play.

Huan Yue felt that once she recovered, she would even dare to go winter swimming.

The group went to Chang Zihan's room.

It's warmer inside now. There's a faint medicinal smell, which is pleasant.

Huan Yue came over. Chang Zihan was awake and looked at her older sister with great dependence.

Princess Guangning sat idly to one side. She didn't have a sister, but that didn't matter.

Her mother had been pregnant before, so there was no point in talking about it now. Princess Guangning was only thinking about her own safety in the future.

Chang Zihan is a good girl: "Is Your Majesty very busy? You don't need to come see me every day."

Huan Yue asked, "Then will you cry?"

Zihan blushed.

Huan Yue asked, "Did you cry?"

With tears streaming down her face, Zihan smiled and said, "Don't cry."

Huan Yue comforted him, "If you want to cry, then cry. You're still a child. Even big kids have the right to cry."

Chang Zihan asked, "How is my older brother?"

Huan Yue said, "I don't know. They probably buried the He family. Are they missing their elder brother?"

Chang Zihan denied it: "No." She gritted her teeth, "The He family deserves to die! They still want to do something to you."

Princess Guangning interjected, "Luckily, it wasn't too late, otherwise the joke wouldn't be funny."

Huan Yue said, "I'll make sure he can't cry."

Zihan nodded, saying that she wanted to be just as amazing as her older sister when she grew up.

A palace maid came and said to the Empress with a smile, "Chang Chenghui wants Caiwei to go back and serve her."

Huan Yue laughed and said, "A country girl like you, still not understanding life?"

Chang Zihan snorted coldly: "She's not a village girl from my family."

Huan Yue said, "Did your father agree to you kicking her out of the house?"

Chang Zihan blinked, looking at her sister with amusement: "Chang Ziyu is no longer on the family tree."

Huan Yue said, "Aren't they wandering ghosts?"

The palace maid nodded, which roughly meant that. Anyway, the Pei family hadn't acknowledged her.

Even if Chang Ziyu has a thick skin, she's actually in a pretty bad situation right now. If she were honest, some people might even feel sorry for her.

Fang Jieyu came over and told her some troubling news: "Pei Huanxin from the Yongning Prince's Mansion is pregnant."

There are too many people with the surname Pei, and they are all prominent figures. It's hard to pronounce them clearly, so we'll just use their given names.

Huan Yue remembered that Pei Huanxin was only twelve years old?

Fang Jieyu said, "Aren't Pei Jinnu and Wang Chuyuan fighting? That's why Prince Yongning wants to send Pei Huanxin to the East Palace, saying that she is his first child."

Huan Yue blinked: "The Prince of Yongning cares so much about his child, yet he can't manage his household affairs properly. Does he want to be a commoner or does he want me to help him manage things?"

In fact, twelve years old is not suitable; it's better to have an abortion.

Fang Jieyu thought to herself, "Qing'e is the most formidable!"

In truth, what does it matter that Prince Yongning was the first child? What's so important about a child born to a concubine? They're practically no different from a blade of grass.

Princess Guangning chimed in, bringing up the topic: "Shouldn't it have been sent to the King of Wu?"

How could the Prince of Yongning's concubines be sent to the Eastern Palace so casually? Is the Prince of Yongning out of his mind?

The palace maid said, "They probably saw Pei Huanfeng and Pei Yuannu arrive at the East Palace one after the other?"

Those were two dead people, so Prince Yongning thought Pei Huanxin was dead and still needed to use the Crown Prince's hand.

The palace maid was also puzzled: "Wang Chuyuan's idea? How dare Wang Chuyuan be so bold?"

Huan Yue pondered that the Prince of Yongning and the He family were going to rebel together, so he dared to think of anything, such as making Chang Zihan abdicate.

Prince Yongning really wants to become emperor. Next time, Huan Yue will definitely slap him in the face.

Fang Jieyu added, "Pei Huanxin wants to see Madam Qian."

Huan Yue laughed and said, "Ignore her."

Why waste your energy on an idiot?

Fang Jieyu smiled wryly; she wasn't like Qing'e. But with Qing'e around, she didn't need to worry about too much.

Huan Yue looked at Chang Zihan as she slept; she was a lovely little girl.

Fang Jieyu also liked her: "She's so sensible."

Huan Yue said, "Once she recovers, we can make her work as we please. Children should be diligent, so we can suppress her bad luck."

Fang Jieyu understood. The reason she was placed here was precisely this; otherwise, she would still be a noble young lady if sent back to the Chang family.

Perhaps the Chang family had just become rich and hadn't quite grasped the situation yet; Chang Zihan was still quite naive.

Although the He family is like that, they don't understand either; it will take a long time.

The Di family isn't known for being very low-key, is it? The Chang family isn't as powerful as the Di family now, but who knows what the future holds? Everyone needs to accumulate good karma and walk their own path.

Outside Chang Le Gate.

Xie Zhou was waiting for his wife.

Huan Yue looked at him, not in a hurry?

Xie Zhou had heard about Prince Yongning, Xie Xuan. Did he think Qing'e would treat him differently?

Huan Yue thought to himself, "He's crazy. He just said it offhand. I don't need to pay attention to him."

Xie Zhou and his wife returned to the East Palace together, and Xie Zhou thought to himself that Xie Xuan was probably showing off that he had a child.

Huan Yue thought to himself, "It's just a seed; seeds are everywhere in the wind. If a completely unrelated tree grows in the yard, one might suspect the neighbor's neighbor's neighbor's neighbor's neighbor, or even that a bird might have left its droppings there."

Xie Zhou felt that having a child was a serious matter. He wouldn't allow just any woman to have his child.

Did they think his offspring were just borrowed randomly?

We entered Xuanfu Gate.

Chang Ziyu stood shivering in the snow.

Huan Yue had no idea what she was thinking, but she was very stubborn.

Di Baose was also watching the show from the sidelines, while Chang Ziyu faced off against His Highness.

Xie Zhou coldly said, "Grant her the privilege of committing suicide."

Chang Ziyu collapsed to the ground with a thud; it wasn't intentional, she just couldn't hold on any longer.

Xie Zhou and his wife left.

Chang Ziyu suddenly shouted, "Let me out!"

Xie Zhou stopped.

Chang Ziyu cried out, "Get out! I don't want to die in the Eastern Palace! I'll never enter the Eastern Palace again in my life!"

Huan Yue suggested, "Let's send it to the Qian family."

Xie Zhou nodded, "That's fine. Let the mother and daughter be reunited."

Chang Ziyu screamed at Huan Yue, "What did I do wrong?"

Di Baose stomped on her foot: "Three years ago, you returned to Baishi Village ahead of time to make preparations, and then pretended to save His Highness. That alone was enough to warrant the extermination of your entire clan! The Empress was willing to let you stay in the Eastern Palace and give you dignity, but you are just too ungrateful!"

Chang Ziyu was innocent? She committed countless crimes.
