Does this question have an answer?

Lord Chi's forehead was covered in sweat.

Logically, he was on the Empress Dowager's side, and at this moment he should be showing filial piety to the Empress Dowager.

However, women have never had a voice in the clan. If they speak out against the Empress Dowager now, trouble will arise in the family later.

You mustn't say that!

A cool smile appeared on Lu Wujiu's lips.

If the woman he had his eye on were here, he certainly wouldn't act this way.

She would say that she should be filial to her mother, but she should be filial to a reasonable mother. If her mother is unreasonable, she should find a way to make her reasonable.

...

In short, he wouldn't remain silent; Lu Wujiu glanced at the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was so angry that she suffered a heart attack and almost couldn't breathe.

The young emperor quickly ordered someone to help the Empress Dowager down.

Only then did they continue with matters of the court.

Disaster relief and the situation with the Great Zhou.

There is currently a ceasefire.

The daughter of General Huo, who was sent by the Great Zhou, also lived in the palace.

However……

Miss Huo is 16 years old, while Changsheng is only eight.

The two were too far apart in age, and Changsheng had no intention of keeping him by his side. He simply wanted to take good care of him, hoping that he might come in handy someday.

The court was once again in a heated state.

Some people shirked responsibility, some argued, and some spoke indirectly.

It sounds like it's mentally taxing and exhausting.

Lu Wujiu looked at Xiao Changsheng sitting above.

At this moment, he no longer frowned, but listened attentively, trying to extract the information.

Of course, the little emperor, whose IQ was slightly higher than that of the average person, found it somewhat difficult.

Lu Wujiu sighed softly. The young emperor still has a long way to go before he becomes a competent one!

Inside the Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager poured the warm tea down her throat.

With a forceful slam, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.

"You slut, you slut, all you sluts should die!"

The angry shouts echoed in the hall, and the eunuchs and maids serving immediately knelt on the ground.

At this moment, they dared not speak or utter a word.

Whoever speaks will become the target of the anger.

"Empress Dowager, why are you angry again?" A hoarse voice rang out, and the Empress Dowager turned around to look at the old nanny standing behind her.

The old nanny was her wet nurse, brought from her maternal family.

Over the years, if it weren't for this person, she would have long since turned into a handful of dust in the treacherous depths of the palace.

"Granny, when do you think Gu Xizhou will die?"

"This is not far off. Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Getting angry will only lead to mistakes. Calm down and slowly find his weaknesses. Don't try to harm him or provoke him."

Opportunities for victory often arrive unexpectedly; losing your composure at that moment, missing the chance, and then it's too late for regrets.

The old woman spoke slowly and deliberately.

However, the Empress Dowager gradually calmed down after listening to this person's words.

He leaned back in his chair and fell asleep, soft snoring filling the air.

Only then did the serving maid dare to take a deep breath.

The old nanny adjusted the incense, and her hazy, yellowish gaze fell on the foolish nanny beside Chu Yuyan.

She glanced at it and then looked away.

The simple-minded old woman next to Chu Yuyan sniffed hard, leaned closer to the incense burner, and asked, "What kind of incense is this? It smells quite nice. Our young lady has been crying all the time these past two days, not sleeping or eating properly. This looks good. Can you tell us where to buy it?"

The stupid old woman opened her mouth.

The old woman with gray hair fixed her gaze on her.

"The Regent's Palace also has items that are tributes from the imperial court. If Miss Chu wants them, she should find a way to obtain them herself."

"Oh!" The naive old woman yawned. Her two cunning eyes darted around blankly, eager to know what was in the Empress Dowager's palace that made her young mistress so curious.

However, I eventually got sleepy.

He took a few steps back, followed the Buddhist shrine in the side hall, sat down on the ground, and closed his eyes.

As for rules, what rules does someone from the countryside have to talk about?

His head tilted and bumped into the stone pier behind the Buddha statue, making a dull thud.

The old nanny glanced at her but said nothing.

Outside the palace.

After Xiaoya woke up, Su Jiaoniang took her downstairs.

I plan to personally take Xiaoya to see the customs and culture of the State of Qi.

However, as soon as he went downstairs, he saw the shopkeeper's embarrassed and ingratiating expression.

"I didn't know you were from such an important background, young master. Please take the money you've given me these past few days."

The innkeeper dared not accept money from Su Jiaoniang for her lodging.

Yesterday, the prince's attitude towards the little rabbit prince clearly showed that he cherished him dearly.

I haven't come down yet today; I'm probably exhausted and my back is about to break.

The fact that the Regent treats someone like this shows that he's worth befriending. I heard that Old Wang from the kitchen is even planning to arrange a marriage between Su Wujiu, this little rascal, and his niece.

Old Wang has a great eye.

It's a pity I didn't manage to marry off my niece.

If Young Master Su really does have a child with Old Wang's daughter, what will the Regent do? He'll probably kill Old Wang.

The shopkeeper took a deep breath. He would never act as a matchmaker again. If he made a mistake, it would be fatal!

Su Jiaoniang stuffed the silver back into her purse.

She wasn't stingy with the money.

But she would feel at ease if she took it from the shopkeeper.

Sometimes, peace of mind is definitely more joyful than money.

Stepping out of the inn, one begins to experience the local customs and culture.

The people of Qi are known for their fierce and valiant nature...

How fierce are they?

Su Jiaoniang witnessed a woman in a red wedding dress, accompanied by a group of servants, snatch a scholar walking on the street and take him home, shouting that they were going to get married and that passersby could come and have a drink.

Such a thing is impossible in Lucheng.

The little girl followed excitedly.
