Wow! Xie Chou burst into tears!

Children are all easy to teach, Huan Yue thought.

"Xie Zhou, you damned bastard! Xie Yu, you old geezer!" she cried loudly, feeling extremely wronged.

The situation became even more awkward.

Instead of the empress rolling around, the seventh prince cursed the emperor as an old geezer who was about to die.

The King of Qi, disregarding his mother and younger brother, quickly knelt before his father, saying, "Little Seven is ignorant."

Empress Dong was helped up by the palace maids. After a moment of stunned silence, she called out to Huan Yue, "Pei, what have you done?"

Huan Yue suddenly burst out laughing: "Compared to Princess Yongjia wanting to be empress, you, as her mother, are much more amusing! Spoiling a child is like killing a child, let's not even talk about that! After all, you're the one who spoiled Princess Yongjia, and you still spoil yourself by acting so flustered! Where is the demeanor of an empress?"

The child's loud crying was like background music.

Empress Dong didn't know whether she was genuinely heartbroken or just pretending.

Huan Yue remained unperturbed: "I only arrived at the Eastern Palace yesterday, so I don't know anything about this child. But being the empress is no easy task, and the throne is not something you can sit on easily. It's like a pile of things; the ones placed on top are the easiest to fall, while those at the bottom have nowhere left to fall. That's why those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. If those who have something to lose are not careful with their words and actions, they will eventually face retribution."

The imperial physician rushed over and huddled to one side with the eunuch, not daring to utter a sound.

The palace officials were extremely impressed with the Crown Princess.

Many people understand how much Empress Dong spoils the seventh prince.

But if the seventh prince says "Xie Yu is immortal," someone will definitely die.

King Qi's intention was simply to protect Xie Chou for now, since he was still young.

Empress Dong sat down on the ground and said, "The Crown Princess is quite formidable. Let me die."

Huan Yue laughed, "If you want to die, do it quietly in the middle of the night. What are you pretending for here? If you can't be empress, don't cling to this position. The empress isn't yours, and the emperor isn't anyone else's. The emperor is the ruler of the people on behalf of Heaven. If he doesn't do a good job, someone else will take over. History records it clearly. Are you trying to defy Heaven? No wonder you have such formidable children!"

Xie Chou's crying had stopped.

Princess Yongjia demanded, "What do you want?"

Huan Yue rubbed his head and thought for a moment: "A doting mother often spoils her child. If Your Majesty is unwilling to discipline him, wouldn't I be considered an elder sister-in-law who is like a mother to her? Would it be alright if I taught him a lesson?"

Xie Zhou reminded her, "You are the second sister-in-law."

Huan Yue said, "I can't take care of the children, so my sister-in-law will have to take care of them from now on."

King Peng was so frightened that he trembled!

The Crown Princess can teach him a lesson, but how dare he? Does he have a death wish?

The emperor's decree states: "Whether it's the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, the eldest brother, or the second brother, they all have a responsibility to teach. Zitong is tired, go and rest first. Imperial physician, come and give Qing'e a good look."

Everything was arranged perfectly.

Empress Dong's appearance definitely needs to be tidied up. Princess Yongjia's appearance also needs to be improved.

The King of Qi was still kneeling below the platform, seemingly ignored by the current ruler.

Huan Yue viewed Prince Qi as the third son of the emperor and the legitimate son of Empress Dong, and he was always considered perfect.

The clash between the legitimate son of the first wife and the legitimate son of the second wife is truly fascinating.

The weapon at Huan Yue's feet was Empress Dong's gun, which could be used to strike anywhere. It was used to exploit minors to break the law.

This shows how awful Empress Dong was.

She desperately wanted a son, but instead gave birth to Princess Yongjia, which greatly displeased her. After giving birth to Xie Yu, she devoted herself entirely to him. She eventually had Xie Chou, whom she also loved, but with the revolution still unfinished, Xie Yu remained her first choice. Xie Yu must have faced considerable pressure.

The imperial physician is here.

Xie Zhou carried Xie Chou away.

Xie Chou angrily bit him.

Now, seeing her youngest son's plight, she feels sorry for her second son.

Consort Cui opened her mouth and then closed it again, seeing that the Crown Prince had been bitten and was bleeding.

Even though Xie Chou is still a child, he is not as important as the Crown Prince; that's just the truth.

The palace maid held Xie Chou in her arms.

Today, his eyes were gloomy, but his voice was not cold: "Come and kneel down together."

Make Xie Chou and Xie Yu kneel together.

Xie Chou crawled up the platform, crying, and towards his father, the emperor. He hugged his legs and cried, "Cut that lowly servant woman to pieces!"

Present day illustration.

The eunuch hurriedly carried Xie Chou away.

Xie Chou fiercely slapped the eunuch: "You dog!"

Huan Yue sat taking pulses while watching the play. She even pretended to be sick, supporting her head – she was very dedicated.

It's fine if Xie Chou is usually pampered by others, but today he had to act all by himself, which was quite awkward.

If he were truly favored now, no one would have anything to say.

The one in the most difficult situation right now is King Qi. The seemingly perfect King Qi has been severely tricked today.

It wasn't Huan Yue who betrayed him, it was his own mother, and it wasn't a bad teammate either, so the King of Qi had to accept everything from his own mother.

Seeing that even someone as clever as Consort Cui remained unmoved, Huan Yue prompted Princess Huayang, "Princess, won't you teach your brothers and sisters?"

How does one act as the eldest sister?

Even the Emperor was scolded, and the good daughter didn't do anything about it?

Princess Huayang gave her a deep look.

Huan Yue held his head, it hurt.

Princess Huayang was furious. Xie Chou was no pushover. Her mother and Madam Dong had never won against him in their lifetimes.

Princess Huayang remained calm. She felt that Lady Dong had paired Xie Zhou with Lady Pei, which was a recipe for disaster.

The one who suffers the most is Lady Dong, while Consort Cui still has a chance.

Consort Cui asked the Emperor gently, "I wonder how the preparations for the luncheon are going?"

Huan Yue listened, "Will everyone be able to eat lunch? I'm certainly hungry."

He didn't give Consort Cui a friendly look, but he also didn't give Consort Cui any face. He looked at the imperial physician and Lady Pei.

Consort Cui couldn't find a suitable topic.

Inside the hall, everyone sat obediently, waiting for the Crown Princess's decision.

Empress Dong's act of rushing down to snatch her son was most likely an act, but most people would have let go and the matter would have been over.

This Crown Princess is no ordinary person. There is no possibility of reconciliation between the Eastern Palace and the Empress. Then Empress Dong will be in an awkward position, and Xie Chou will be in an even worse situation.

He even wished for his father's death, so the possibility of him being favored by the current emperor is extremely slim.
