Main character: The outwardly cultured and divinely empowered, cold-hearted female lead vs. The self-taught, passionate, and wife-chasing male lead.
Huan Yue died and transmigrated into a swe...
Huan Yue glanced at Di Baose, and suddenly hated that scoundrel?
It would be good if she truly gave up.
Di Baose's current situation is not very good, but it's not terrible either.
The maid was skillful and dressed up; she was quite a beauty.
Di Baose got angry and stopped calling him "cousin," calling him Pei Huanyue instead: "What do you want me to do?"
Huan Yue gestured towards the tree.
The weather was fine, and the palace maids were set up under the tree; the scene was quite grand.
Huan Yue gestured to the bolts of cloth: "Make clothes. If you cut them haphazardly, I'll compensate you with two bolts for every one you cut. You have so much dowry; it's enough for you to squander for a while. If they don't look good, I'll compensate you with two bolts for every one you cut. Don't worry, I won't say they don't look good unless you provoke me."
Di Baose's eyes widened! They're stealing her dowry?
Huan Yue remained unfazed: "I'm poor, so I rob the rich to help the poor. The things from the Di family are no better than pig feed for you, but they're different if you give them to me."
Di Baose snapped out of her daze, incredulous: "How dare you?"
She looked at her cousin.
Xie Zhou hugged his wife and kissed her, saying, "You're not feeling well, so please take care of yourself." He then instructed the others, "Don't disturb the Empress."
Di Baose was so angry that tears streamed down her face.
Stop arguing! Pei Huanyue was talking about her! Pei Huanyue stole her things, he's a robber!
There were many busy people coming and going at Qing'e Palace, and no one found it strange.
Is there anything that the Empress wouldn't do?
Look, His Highness has sent something again. Besides the goods, there's also fifty thousand taels of silver.
Huan Yue was about to practice her calligraphy when she saw that scoundrel carrying silver for her. Was he telling Di Baose that she wasn't poor?
Besides the gold and silver ingots bestowed by the Emperor and the two thousand taels given by Consort Cui, His Highness alone gave seventy thousand taels. Huan Yue's dowry of gold and silver amounted to another fifteen thousand taels. Her wealth was already quite substantial.
While we can't compare to the super-rich, we're content with a modest life. We don't ask for much.
It will take some time to move all 50,000 taels of silver.
Huan Yue didn't look, as an imperial eunuch was watching. She calmly practiced calligraphy in her study.
(Wang Xizhi's flying white is charming, Wang Xianzhi's flying white is graceful, Yan Zhenqing's flying white is unrestrained and pure, Ouyang Xun's flying white is rigorous and vigorous, Zhao Mengfu's flying white is elegant and graceful, Mi Fu's flying white is unrestrained and vigorous, Huaisu's flying white is free and easy...)
Many people know how to use the "flying white" technique, but not knowing how to use it is like being illiterate.
Therefore, Huan Yue flew with peace of mind.
Because of his memories of being a fake heiress, Huan Yue has developed a knack for it.
Di Baose sat outside, feeling extremely bitter!
The pain in her body also surged up, causing her to shed tears continuously; she had never suffered so much in her life.
From being promoted from a concubine to a high-ranking official, Pei Huanyue actually received 50,000 taels of silver.
The Crown Prince's palace is quite wealthy; his mother calculated it.
The Di family gave Empress Mingde a generous dowry, and Empress Mingde herself was also very capable.
When the Empress Dowager passed away, she also gave away a large portion of it.
Unfortunately, the Crown Prince was already quite old at that time, but due to Dong's machinations, the marriage could not be arranged.
Di Baose wondered if it were three years ago, would it have been her turn? The truth is, she didn't get it three years ago either.
She wasn't without disappointment, though she felt she was still too young. But in the end, it fell to Pei Huanyue, and she was very resentful!
What "Sheng'an Twin Beauties"? Pei Huanyue is just riding on their coattails!
Huan Yue came out of the study and looked at Di Baose, quite surprised: "You haven't done anything all morning?"
Di Baose said fiercely, "This afternoon."
Huan Yue nodded: "Okay."
"So easy to talk to?" Di Baose looked at her and said, "What makes you think you can become the Crown Princess?"
Huan Yue asked curiously, "You still don't understand? Didn't your mother tell you? Do you think you're stupid?"
Di Baose was furious: "What did you say?"
Huan Yue said, "Of course it was to annoy you and then send you to the Eastern Palace to court death. Didn't you obediently do what they wanted? I wonder how much the Zheng family benefited from it. Didn't your mother give you a share? But you're so stupid, you probably wouldn't have thought of that. From now on, in the Eastern Palace, try not to think about those things. Anyway, your brain isn't big enough."
Huan Yue swayed as he went to look at the vegetables he had planted.
Di Baose felt that she was not as good as that pot of water spinach, and she was so angry that she fainted.
Huan Yue looked at the water spinach and called out to Di Baose, "Don't you dare steal my vegetables if you're starving!"
Di Baose would rather starve to death!
Jia Fei wanted to laugh.
The Empress has a sharp tongue but a soft heart; she tells Di Baose the importance of this dish.
People who never miss out on three meals a day naturally look down on water spinach.
Although we can't eat water spinach for many meals, we have to eat it at every meal.
Huiqing found Di Baose unusually quiet. Even if it was only temporarily quiet, it didn't matter.
So all the setbacks are less valuable than money?
Your Highness, please give the Empress plenty of money.
Even in ordinary families, giving money is a sign of affection. His Highness has feelings for the Empress.
Huan Yue is plotting against his white moonlight.
Di Baose hasn't taken the bait yet; if you say something before the time is right, things will be different.
She ate well, slept soundly, and focused on recovering.
I don't seem to be gaining weight. I eat so much every day but haven't gotten fat.
It's hard to understand how things were so abstract before. People are still very mysterious.
In the afternoon, Huan Yue came out of the Yanqin.
As the weather warmed up, she wore lighter clothing.
A red satin robe paired with a pink skirt, like flowers blooming in this season, exudes elegance and nobility.
It goes without saying that it's expensive. However, some people can make haute couture look like cheap knockoffs, so it's fair to say that Huan Yue has a great sense of style.
A village girl has the aura of a crown princess.
If one remains the Crown Princess long enough, the situation will be quite different.
After all, many dancers rose to become empresses, and palace maids to become empress dowagers; the key was confidence.
Huan Yue's confidence did not stem from being better than others or being a better empress, but from her lack of ambition for fame or fortune. She wanted to live a good life not because of fame or fortune.
Some people's claim of being unable to control their own lives is actually hypocritical.
Of course, Huan Yue has been lucky these past ten days. As for the long future, that remains to be seen.
Under the tree, Di Baose was busy doing needlework.
Perhaps it was a lunch break, or perhaps it was a morning break, or maybe needlework is her calling.
When she is immersed in needlework, she exudes a unique aura.
It's about self-confidence.
Di Baose is good-looking and young, so she can recover from the ordeal.
Even a bruised and swollen face can look good; perhaps it's a different kind of beauty. But it wouldn't work on an ugly person.
Di Baose glanced at Pei Huanyue, then lowered her head and continued working, feeling proud again.
Sunny and the others helped Di Baose, and it has to be said that she is very good at needlework.
Helping them is not up to these few people; it's a must.
The other maids and wives of the Di family were at ease, but they weren't idle; they took stools and sat down to work.
This scene is quite beautiful.
Having a little personality is fun.
Huan Yue sat to one side, drinking tea, enjoying the spring breeze, and feeling drowsy.
Di Baose held a needle, wanting to poke her; she held scissors, wanting to stab her, but she didn't know if Pei Huanyue would kick her to death.
Doing needlework wasn't a difficult task for Di Baose, assuming other conditions were met.
Even if other things are not met, you still have to do it when you are forced to.
After finishing with the storeroom in front, Chaoyun came to find the Empress.
Huan Yue asked lazily, "Is there any room left? Can we fit all of Di Baose's things here?"
Di Baose pricked her own hand with the needle, wishing she could go over and prick Pei Huanyue's mouth.
Sunny was speechless. Was the Empress teasing the cats and dogs?
