Zichen Palace.

Today, she's playing with her eldest grandson.

Xie Zhou was working on the side; after all, he didn't have a grandson and wasn't a child.

Xie Yi is such a cute kid, all he needs to do is play.

Nowadays, when I take him to appreciate paintings, if he likes them, he can take them home; if he doesn't, he can tear them up.

An old man was chanting scriptures on the side: "The Great Stone Kingdom and the Wu Nu Kingdom are still sincere. Although our Great Zhao is strong, if the Great Stone Kingdom and the Wu Nu Kingdom join forces, the consequences will be unimaginable. The beauties of the Great Stone Kingdom are said to include the descendants of princesses, county princesses, and ministers. They should be treated with courtesy."

The old man offered him a seat and sat down on a stool, slowly saying, "The princess of the Great Stone Kingdom admires my Great Zhao, which is the foundation of harmony. Accepting a woman can extinguish the flames of war, save countless soldiers, and relieve the people of any burden. This is a great blessing for the world."

The old man, over seventy years old, dressed in a purple python robe, showed no nervousness in front of the emperor: "Empress Mingde has been dead for more than twenty years. The Dong family is immoral, so a new empress must be established. When yin and yang are in harmony, the world will be in order."

The little boy hummed.

Xie Zhou hurried over.

He waved his hand and said, "No need."

It's just helping my grandson pee. It's not the first time for me.

So now I take my eldest grandson to pee, clean him up properly, and then come back.

The little boy hugged his grandfather, looking extremely happy.

I feel extremely satisfied with raising my grandson. Now that he's hungry, he can have a snack.

My father-in-law brought over some minced meat and egg custard.

The little boy sat in his grandfather's lap, opened his little mouth, and ate with great relish.

It tastes pretty good when you try a small bite nowadays. We eat a lot and grow fast.

Nowadays, people aren't afraid of getting old when their grandchildren grow up; as long as their grandchildren grow up fast enough, they won't be old yet.

After you finish this bowl of steamed egg custard, are you full?

The little one is smiling so sweetly, Grandpa is eating!

I'll just have a bowl of porridge now, and then give some to my eldest grandson.

Xie Zhou had been busy all day and wanted a drink too; as for the bastard chanting scriptures, he could ignore him.

The old man, wanting to assert his presence, said: "How can Your Majesty act like a woman?"

Xie Zhen came over to greet him: "The princess of the Great Stone Kingdom is dead, how come you're still alive?"

How do people talk to their sons these days?

Although Xie Zhen had fallen out of favor, he was still a king of the Great Zhao: "Your subject believes that the princess of the Great Shi Kingdom is his grandmother."

The old man was furious: "Who? Who? How dare they treat the princess like this?"

Xie Zhen said, "Don't worry, he'll die with one stab, there won't be any pain."

The old man knelt before the emperor and wept.

The emperor ordered his son to send the old senile man back.

Xie Zhen was reluctant.

But that's probably all the use a disfavored son has; only the favored darlings are the emperor's favorites. He went to kiss his eldest nephew.

The child's smile is so sweet.

The Emperor is beating his son, hurry up! I want to kill that old bastard even though I'm already tired of him.

Xie Zhen thought to himself, "Isn't he afraid that his son will find a way to kill this guy?"

The old man wouldn't leave, so Xie Zhen dragged him away. He was so filial.

The eunuchs all cooperated with King Zheng.

The old man also wanted to know about the affairs of the Great Stone Kingdom and the Wunu Kingdom.

Xie Zhen said to the eunuch, "Go and ask for a few beauties to be sent to the Duke of Cheng's mansion."

The eunuch understood. This old man still had a soft spot for women; he had thirty or fifty beauties in his mansion, and he would spend a whole day playing with them without thinking.

The old lady had long since stopped caring about him, and although her son had died, she lived a carefree life.

The Zichen Palace was finally quiet.

Today, I continue to admire paintings with my eldest grandson. Grandpa has many paintings here, enough for the child to enjoy.

Xie Yi watched very attentively.

He then took the opportunity to mock his father, saying, "Your father just doesn't understand these things."

The child smiled but didn't say anything. The grandfather said that his father couldn't get involved.

He likes his grandson very much now, but his only concern is that the grandson is too smart, so he is happy when his grandson seems a little slow.

Xie Yi: It's really not easy to make Grandpa happy.

Xie Zhou said, "Father, the stone should be able to walk by itself now."

The response was: "It's freezing cold, my feet are cold. Let's wait until next spring."

The child, wearing warm shoes, still felt the ground was cold.

Xie Zhou planned to visit his wife and grab something to eat.

They didn't stop him. The Great Stone Kingdom sent so much random stuff; he wanted to know what other tricks they had up their sleeve?

Xie Zhou entered the Yeting Palace and was greeted by several beautiful women.

That's strange! Xie Zhou targeted the eunuch because he saw the eunuch wasn't reacting?

Fortunately, Xie Zhou had seen many beauties. Another dragon throne appeared ahead? He'd sat on one before.

Xie Zhou found it all quite novel to finally reach his wife!

Consort Zhu and Wen Miao hurriedly greeted His Highness.

Xie Zhou was polite; one was his stepmother and the other his sister-in-law. He told her about what had happened on the way.

Shanggong was extremely surprised: "I can't sense it at all!"

Huan Yue said, "It might be another method. I've heard there are people who know how to set up formations, but wouldn't that be useless against Your Highness?"

Xie Zhou looked into his wife's eyes. What did that mean? He wasn't the type to be unable to move when he saw a beautiful woman.

Huan Yue understood. The beauties were only for his enjoyment, not the other way around.

If Xie Zhou holds the initiative and is not seduced, the honey trap will be completely ineffective against him.

Madam Zhu frowned: "Could this happen anywhere else?"

Huan Yue said, "It shouldn't be that easy."

Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, everything comes at a price. However, the investigation should be even more rigorous now!

The court lady had no objections. They weren't from the Great Zhao, so even if they were all killed, it wouldn't matter.

Under the threat of death, some people might also testify against others. Anyway, let's just have fun.

Xie Zhou pulled his wife along.

Huan Yue glanced over and saw a beautiful woman who could get here without alerting anyone. Was she hiding?

The beauty was truly stunning; she swayed right up to Xie Zhou.

Xie Zhou casually slipped behind his wife.

The beauty tried to follow, but Huan Yue grabbed her by the neck.

Wen Miao was startled! She had a feeling something was wrong; could someone really do that?

Huan Yue didn't pull out his intestines, but he smashed something with his phoenix mace.

Zhu heard a cracking sound, and the beauty split open.

The eunuch came and covered the beauty's mouth, so she couldn't scream. Take her away for another check; if nothing is found, burn her.

The cat picked up a shard from the ground; it looked like crystal.

Huan Yue stared at it for a long time, then crushed it.

Xie Zhou found it quite strange! He actually possessed such an invisibility ability? Could he freely enter the palace? It seemed unlikely, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten into this group. Therefore, there was no need to dwell on it if he didn't understand.

Huan Yue waited to continue inspecting the goods, his mind wandering to strange things like the spiritual spring water.

The court lady doesn't know if she embezzled the money or if she just couldn't find it.

Huan Yue even suspected that Baishi Village might have a magical spring. Otherwise, its land would be more fertile than other places.

Could someone suddenly have the idea to go to Baishi Village and dig up that soil? If the soil from Baishi Village is dug up and taken to Sheng'an, can it grow such good things?

Baishi Village is neither white soil nor black soil nor red soil, and there are many places in the village with that river.

What was Xie Zhou thinking as he looked at his wife?

Huan Yue looked at him, "Haven't you had enough of slacking off yet?"

No, Xie Zhou came to have some snacks with her.

Huiqing brought over a lot of food, probably because Empress Huan needed to eat, so there was a large pot of stewed beef brisket.

Zhu thought it smelled delicious, and that it was good to have something to eat before working on such a cold day.
