Xie Zhou felt that his wife was quite angry.

So he's not going to see his father anymore, he's angry! And while he's at it, let's see which ones in the Eastern Palace are impatient?

It's not that we can't wait, but is now the best time to act? Or should we start preparing now, otherwise things will fall into place when the time is right?

For Xie Zhou, it doesn't matter when he acts; if he's going to cut off someone's hands, he won't leave them with their feet.

Di Baose came over to report, and judging from Huan Yue's expression, he still couldn't tell: "Then it should still be the Jingwang Incense."

Huan Yue asked, "Is King Jing dead?"

Xie Zhou said, "It will be soon."

King Jing is definitely gone; all that's left is a dog, still trying to jump around and bite.

Huan Yue said, "That may not be the case."

Xie Zhou nodded. The truth and falsehood are hard to distinguish; when it's time to clarify, one must be clear-headed.

Di Baose sighed, "The Eastern Palace is about to become lively again."

Huan Yue said, "Isn't this for you to get some proper training?"

Di Baose said arrogantly, "I don't want to exercise."

Huan Yue readily agreed: "If you find it too hard, just ask someone for help."

Di Baose said proudly, "It wasn't hard at all."

However, it was clear that her cousin's eyes were fixed on the Empress, and he probably wouldn't look at anyone else.

According to some malicious rumors, everyone is exceptionally precious because the Empress has been delayed until now. But once she is born, everyone will be the same.

Di Baose thought to himself, "They're so clever. No matter how much they think, the Great Zhao, the throne, and the future are all probably still in Huan Yue's belly."

Di Baose hasn't left yet.

A palace attendant came to report: "Princess Jiang'an requests an audience."

Huan Yue asked, "What is it?"

The eunuch explained, "Princess Guanghua lost her mother, and her stepmother's daughter, Princess Jiang'an, is three years younger than her. She was raised with great care and affection."

Huan Yue asked curiously, "Isn't this insane? Trying to elevate your own daughter to put down Princess Guanghua won't improve the status of the second wife."

A second wife is a concubine in the presence of the first wife.

Some might not care, while others might care a lot?

Di Baose said, "She's come here several times already, what does she want this time?"

Huan Yue said, "You can see me if you want."

Di Baose said arrogantly, "I can't be bothered to see her, it's disgusting. Princess E even asked the Emperor if he was in a hurry to have a grandson."

Xie Zhou exuded domineering confidence: "Don't worry! This grandson will definitely satisfy her! If she's gone, just burn some paper money for her to know!"

Huan Yue asked, "Whom did you tell your son to burn?"

Xie Zhou quickly lowered his head: "She is not worthy to be burned by my son."

That's complete nonsense!

A compassionate emperor would personally attend the funeral of his ministers or relatives.

This kid is still in his mother's womb, while his grandfather is sitting comfortably on the throne. Be careful he doesn't fall out of favor before he's even born.

Outside Xuande Gate.

Princess Jiang'an had actually been there for a while, and her carriage had been searched three times, but she was not allowed to enter.

No matter how well you prepare, all this trouble won't make things better.

Besides, if the emperor even sent his own daughter to Changchun Temple to farm, it doesn't seem so hard to understand why he would target the princess.

Princess Jiang'an had no choice.

She used to be a favored princess, and even after Princess Guanghua got married, she could still keep her in check.

Unexpectedly, the Prince of Guanghua is about to make a comeback! It's all thanks to Duke Xie Yu of Qi!

Princess Jiang'an went to find Xie Yu immediately, but was bitten by a dog. Although she was wearing thick clothes in winter and was not seriously injured, she was so frightened that she fell ill!

This time, Princess Jiang'an was ready to meet Huan Yue directly!

Princess Guanghua should just go and cultivate Taoism! What's the point of turning over a new leaf?

Xie Yu, she also has a suitable daughter, but she can't even get into the Duke of Qi's house, which makes her very angry!

Princess Jiang'an is quite remarkable; Xuande Gate looks different from usual.

The Imperial Guards came over again.

Princess Jiang'an was caught off guard and captured.

She hurriedly called out, "I'm looking for Lady Huan!"

The Imperial Guards did not try to reason with her.

Or, there were quite a few people waiting for Consort Huan outside Xuande Gate. What did they take the Crown Princess for? Did they think she was some lowly village girl?

It's said that Princess Jiang'an was the one who led the operation, so arrest them first and then talk about it! Anyone who disrespects the Crown Princess will at least get a beating!

There were many people outside Xuande Gate, and they scattered like birds and beasts, and soon most of them had dispersed.

The group fled to an alley and took out the information they had just received.

Fu Dingchen happened to be passing by and arrested the man.

Because the Prince Zheng's residence is close to the palace, these people don't want to go further away; they want to go back to Xuande Gate to squat again.

The Prince Zheng's residence was close to the palace, so the message could be delivered there.

Xiao Lin went in person, but he didn't even open the wax pill. He had already retired to the Prince Zheng's residence and shouldn't know anything about the palace.

The Zichen Palace is currently in a state of anger.

Xiao Lin looked at the eunuchs and asked, "What's wrong?"

An official subtly raised his eyelids to indicate the position His Highness should be treated like a beast of burden.

Xiao Lin understood, but what did His Highness want to do? Bah, don't overthink it. It's normal for fathers and sons to quarrel. It would be bad if they didn't quarrel.

A palace attendant prepared the wax pills and reported to the emperor, "There is good news in the palace."

The Emperor was delighted: "Everyone cares so much about the Imperial Palace! When the Imperial Grandson is a month old, I will grant a general amnesty!"

The eunuch wanted to advise her to stay calm and not put pressure on Consort Huan, otherwise she would cause a scene and even break a boulder on her chest.

"Why should we be afraid of her now?" He waved for Xiao Lin to leave.

Xiao Lin understood that this seemed to have touched upon the hidden agenda of the Great Stone Kingdom, which was actually quite good.

Although he went to live out his retirement at the Prince Zheng's Mansion, his arms and legs were still strong, and he could still get some exercise occasionally.

Sometimes people aren't after power, but they just can't stand being idle.

Xiao Lin found it quite interesting to take Fu Dingchen around, and she thought she could write more things when she got back.

I wonder if those scholars, when written into storybooks, would be moved to tears?

Qing'e Palace.

It seems like everyone already knows.

Huan Yue understood that as long as she said no, then it wasn't true.

It's actually a little similar to calling a deer a horse.

Without imperial confirmation, no one can say anything. Just like before, even though everyone knew Huan Yue was a village girl, they still had to wait for an imperial edict.

Xie Zhou then lingered around his wife.

Huan Yue asked, "If you take this opportunity to slack off, won't the Sage find out?"

Xie Zhou hurriedly denied it: "No, I didn't! I'm also feeling unwell and need to rest for a few days!"

He was too excited and afraid of making a mistake—that was a perfectly valid reason. Even his wife wouldn't dare to send him away right now.

Huan Yue was too lazy to pay attention to him; let him be lazy if he wanted.

A prince who is too diligent may not be safe. People need to learn to be lazy occasionally.

Xie Zhou thinks his wife is the best.

Xiangnu looked down on it.

Xiuyun smiled and advised her, "Don't worry about it."

Xiangnu, of course, wouldn't care; she had to hurry up and blend the perfume.

Otherwise, if someone suddenly attacks, it won't be good no matter who gets hurt.

Xiangnu was quite talented and took on two apprentices.

Xiuyun was carefree; when the Empress told her not to make a fuss, she didn't do much and just had the cook continue making the soup.

The chefs all tensed up!

Pregnant women sometimes experience severe morning sickness, which is when a chef's true skills come into play.

Good food and good cooking make everyone happy, adults and children alike.

The little palace maid started her rambling again.

Chao Yun didn't pay attention for a moment and saw that Qing'e Palace had led a group astray. Why were they all muttering like that?

They all seem so unruly! It's necessary to establish better rules for the Qing'e Palace!

Everyone responded! The Qing'e Palace used to be quite casual...

Now, it seems Yan Boxuan is in trouble. The Empress won't hug anyone anymore.
