After lunch, Xie Zhou left again.

He comes back at night, but he always goes to farm during the day; it's March now.

He held a hoe in his hand, ready to eliminate whomever he pleased. Once the fields were clean, his wife would finally quiet down.

Huan Yue walked from Chengen Hall to Qing'e Hall, entering through the main gate.

It looks like it's going to rain today. Spring rain is good; after a rain, everything will be even greener.

"Your Majesty!" Yan Boxuan was overjoyed; he had grown up!

Huan Yue carried him, thinking, "Aren't you happy to see your mother soon?"

Hehe, Yan Boxuan hugged his aunt, looking very happy.

Xie Fufu followed along, pretending to be a lady. She was genuinely ladylike, but in front of her younger brother, there was no real pretense. However, with her aunt present, she became dignified. It was as if no one was a child anymore.

Yan Boxuan flirts with his older sister.

Xie Fufu ignored him with a stern face.

"Sister, sister~~ sister!" He was probably the only one in the palace with a biological sister, and his happiness was immeasurable!

Princess Yongning followed beside her, wearing a light green dress, looking both cute and refined.

Princess Changning and Princess Guangning came together, not for the sake of the eldest sister, but who's afraid of her?

Princess Yongmu is also dressed up, she looks very beautiful and extremely gentle!

Princess Changning also likes Third Sister now. Although Third Sister is stronger at heart now, her true gentleness remains unchanged.

Yan Boxuan wanted to flirt with everyone.

Xie Zhu, come here! Yan Boxuan likes his maternal uncle!

Huan Yue handed him over to his uncle, and that was the end of it.

Xie Zhu took his little nephew out to play; two years old is the most fun.

Huan Yue entered the hall and sat on the throne.

Princess Guangning brought Chang Zihan with her.

Huan Yue beckoned Zi Han to come over and sit down with her.

Chang Zihan was embarrassed. She was seven years old this year, a big girl! She was wearing a light pink dress, clean and tidy; her face was chubby, Fang Jieyu had taken good care of her.

Princess Guangning sat down next to her second sister-in-law, gesturing to Zihan, "What's wrong with sitting here?"

Chang Zihan sat to her left, and Princess Changning sat down next to her.

The throne is large enough that several young girls can squeeze in.

Xie Fufu came over again, and Princess Changning sat down with her in her arms.

Princess Yongmu was amused; she couldn't fit in the seat and wouldn't squeeze in.

Princess Yongmu, being the eldest, sat comfortably on the right, looking quite happy with the family.

"Oh my Goddess!" Yan Boxuan is late!

He climbed onto the stage and rushed into his aunt's arms.

Xie Zhu ran over and pulled him: "These are all girls, you're a boy. You have to stay with your uncle."

Yan Boxuan looked at his uncle and thought, "No, isn't that right? What's the difference between a woman and a man?"

The difference is huge! Especially since Chang Zihan is from a different family, Xie Zhu is carrying his nephew and sitting to the left of his third sister.

No! Yan Boxuan wants his third aunt to hold him, who wants his stinky uncle to hold him?

Princess Yongmu then hugged him.

This calmed Yan Boxuan down; seeing his sister's dignified demeanor, he could too.

Xie Fufu remained perfectly composed, not uttering a single word.

Yan Boxuan kept his mouth shut, putting on a very convincing act. Isn't life all about pretending? Yan Boxuan had known this since he was a child.

Princess Yongning was delighted. She saw Xie Fufu to intimidate her younger brother, and Yan Boxuan was just a funny character.

Huan Yue asked Zi Han, "How is it?"

Chang Zihan exclaimed happily, "It's time to study!"

The New Year is over, so naturally we should study. Otherwise, how can we accompany each other in our studies?

In fact, she was the same age as Princess Yongning, but Princess Guangning was accompanied by Consort Fang.

Huan Yue asked Princess Yongning, "Would you like to adopt a foster mother?"

Princess Yongning was taken aback, "No."

Although there were many concubines in the harem who had no children, she did not want to acknowledge any of them.

She was still young, but she probably knew that it was good to stay with her second brother and sister-in-law.

If they were to acknowledge a foster mother, a whole host of problems would arise. Just like how much trouble the eighth brother caused.

Although Yongning is a princess, it is not easy for a woman, so her second sister-in-law is able to protect her.

If the Li or Fang families were bullied, could they withstand it? Second Sister-in-law is the one who makes me feel the most secure.

Huan Yue could tell from her expression that if she didn't want to acknowledge it, so be it. After all, it was entrusted to her by the Sage.

Children grow up very quickly; someone like Princess Changning is basically able to take care of herself.

Besides, an adoptive mother is not a biological mother, and even a biological mother may not be reliable.

Huan Yue said, "Once my sister-in-law marries into the family, I can visit her often."

Princess Changning was pleased.

Huan Yue replied seriously, "Your sister-in-law is a proper young lady, far superior to me."

Princess Changning nodded with a smile. Even before the eldest sister-in-law had officially entered the family, the second sister-in-law was already thinking about her every day.

Princess Guangning knew her second sister-in-law meant well. There was nothing wrong with being on good terms with her eldest sister-in-law.

Princess Yongning wasn't sad anymore. What's wrong with having another sister-in-law who treats her well? Her eldest sister-in-law was someone her third brother had thought about. Perhaps she might even become her second sister-in-law. The key is that her eldest sister-in-law has a good temper.

The second sister-in-law is not one to meddle in things, much like the eldest sister-in-law, but she does her job very well.

Princess Yongning was not worried about being left unattended; if she was wronged, someone would stand up for her.

Safety!

Huan Yue said, "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother; everyone should be filial to her!"

The princesses all nodded.

Princess Yongmu nodded. Although her sister-in-law was younger than her, they were of the same generation in terms of seniority. However, her sister-in-law resembled her elder brother, who was becoming increasingly capable. Even if he wasn't particularly outstanding...

Princess Yongmu wasn't particularly capable; she just lived her life as she pleased.

The female official watched from the sidelines speechlessly.

Haven't you seen the scene where the Crown Princess is teaching everyone that an elder sister-in-law is like a mother? Empress Mingde would never treat Princess Wu like that.

I wonder if Princess Peng is worried? She probably already knows. This bunch of hungry babies.

However, it's a good thing for the family to be harmonious, and the Crown Princess should set an example first.

I don't expect everyone to be completely of one mind, just close enough is fine.

Yan Boxuan, bewildered, asked his sixth uncle, "Sister-in-law?"

Xie Zhujiao: "It's my maternal aunt."

Aunt? That's a mouthful. The baby can just recognize his mother. Yan Boxuan is such a clever fellow.

Fang Tang came over and showed off her good connections again: "When the imperial concubine was being made a consort, Consort Kong wanted to go."

Everyone was stunned.

It's time for Princess Peng to be formally appointed as a consort; everyone's been talking about it.

But what does Kong Zhenjun want to do?

Huan Yue said, "She can't come out?"

Fang Tang smiled and said, "Isn't this about finding a solution?"

Huan Yue said, "This fake country bumpkin thinks she can compete with my sister-in-law as a true lady?"

Fang Tang laughed uncontrollably: "Perhaps." Besides, it's understandable that she wanted to compete with the Duke of Qi, who had his eye on Miss Wen first.

Fang Tang didn't think Kong Zhenjun had first cultivated a good relationship with Princess Peng. It was already quite good that Miss Wen had come to the Eastern Palace and gotten along with the Crown Princess.

The sage was very satisfied with his eldest daughter-in-law. He himself might have had some regrets, but his daughters-in-law were all good.

Perhaps Empress Mingde, Princess Wu, and Princess Shen were all good, but what did they have to do with the emperor?

Miss Wen is no worse than anyone else. After the Dong family wanted to send a girl from the Pei family, she could satisfy anyone.

Consort Shen was in high spirits because of the happy occasion, which made things much more normal in the harem.

How could the emperor be in a bad mood when he went to the inner palace?

This is the power of influence. Fang Tang thought to herself, a truly remarkable person, this is what you call bringing prosperity to three generations.

Perhaps the blessings will continue for three generations above and three generations below.

If Fang Tang wants to become Empress, she has to learn from this, otherwise the Bai family will be finished too. Of course, the Bai family is not Empress Wenming's business.

Master Taihua has arrived.
