As for the glass, we'll see how the auction goes tomorrow. Xie Zhiyan felt a surge of excitement at the thought of the exquisite glassware; he was confident that the glass would be the highlight of the entire auction.
The Crown Prince quickly glanced at his mother, and the Empress immediately understood that her son wanted to retain talented people.
So she asked with a smile, "Suiyu, are you going home after your divorce?"
Feng Suiyu immediately understood the Empress's meaning, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, my brothers are all married and have children, and my nephews and nieces are all grown up. I am a divorced aunt who has come home."
Because of their bad reputation, and in order not to affect her children's marriage prospects, Suiyu planned to live alone after the divorce.
With such a high-sounding reason, her parents and brothers wanted her to return to the Feng family home. She also had a response: it wasn't that she was unfilial, but rather that she was too filial and didn't want to be a burden on her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law.
"Ayu, why are you doing this to yourself? Can't you forgive me this once?"
"Your Highness, instead of trying to salvage our relationship, you should think more about how to deal with Hu's crime of deceiving the emperor."
It was the right decision not to return to the Feng family. Feng Suiyu has so much dowry money; she definitely wouldn't be able to keep it if she went back.
"Are the Feng family really this unseemly?"
It's really bad; I'll tell you about it another time.
The Empress smiled and said, "Mother, since Suiyu is not going back to the Feng family, I plan to let her stay in my dowry courtyard first."
My daughter-in-law heard that she was very good at managing shops and land when she was in the Prince of Qi's mansion. My daughter-in-law has been in the palace for many years and just needs someone who is good at managing shops and land.
I just don't know if Sister Suiyu would be willing?
Feng Suiyu immediately said, "Your Majesty, Suiyu is willing. Suiyu thanks Your Majesty for taking me in."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "That's good. Suiyu is still young, and it's not safe for her to live alone outside. Living in your courtyard means I don't have to worry about those ignorant people disturbing her."
Princess Taikang, who was standing to the side as a background figure and invisible, was stunned, okay?
Didn't the Empress Dowager and the Emperor ask her to discuss the marriage of the child with the Prince of Qi?
Why is it that before the marriage case has been settled, a divorce case has already been settled for the King and Queen?
Who would have thought that Prince Qi, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, who always seems to be fanning himself with a fan and looks more like a scholar than a prince, would be so uncouth? In order to give his beloved son a respectable status, he not only abandoned his mother and kept his son, but also faked his death. He really has a lot of nerve!
Tsk tsk tsk!
The capital city, already bustling with celebrations for the emperor's birthday, will become even more lively.
A royal scandal has given the people another great topic of conversation.
Just as Princess Taikang was thinking of this, a guard came to report that the Chai family father and son were requesting an audience.
Feng Suiyu's heart skipped a beat. The fact that Chai Jin and his son were going to the palace to meet the emperor at this time seemed suspicious. Could it be that the Prince of Qi's humiliation of her sister had been exposed?
If that's true, I wonder how King Qi will explain it to the Chai family.
Emperor Mingxi said to Eunuch Qian Gui, "Qian Gui, go and tell Minister Chai to wait in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. I need to deal with the matter of the Junior Tutor before I see them."
"Yes, this old servant will go right now."
Emperor Mingxi picked up the booklet handed to him by a guard. It was sent by Shen Kang and contained the results of their investigation at Xie Zhiyao's villa.
The courtyard in Peach Blossom Lane was less a separate courtyard and more a hidden entrance set up by Xie Zhiyao. Shen Kang's men sneaked in and found envoys from various countries indulging in revelry.
He has everyone under his control and they are awaiting the emperor's decision.
Emperor Mingxi was very satisfied with his nephew's efficiency and decided to reward him properly when he had the chance.
At this moment, Shen Kang, who was on Emperor Mingxi's mind, stood in front of his cousin Xie Zhiyao's villa in Peach Blossom Lane, silently gazing at the sky.
Shen Kang really couldn't believe that his seemingly well-behaved cousin Zhiyao was actually doing all this in his own villa!
Their unrestrained behavior made even those who frequented brothels think that these people really knew how to have fun.
I just don't know how much his uncle, the King of Qi, knows about this place.
Inside were envoys from various countries. Although they weren't big shots, the fact that so many people could be gathered meant that even a dog wouldn't believe the King of Qi knew nothing about it!
As for his dear cousin, Shen Kang glanced at Xie Zhiyao, who was dressed as a man and hiding among the servants, and felt a sudden toothache.
To put it mildly, this is like setting up a secret door and engaging in prostitution without paying taxes!
To put it more bluntly, the Prince's residence was secretly making connections with envoys from various countries, which raised suspicions about their motives and suggested they harbored rebellious intentions!
Before he could even catch his breath, he turned around and saw his uncle and cousin from the Xu family!
Good heavens! Destroy it! He just came out on a errand, to raid a hideout, and all he caught were relatives!
Does his princess mother have too many brothers and sisters? She runs into older brothers and sisters everywhere she goes!
Grand Princess: Blame your early-deceased maternal grandfather for being too prolific! You can't blame your mother for this!
Forget it, Shen Kang decided to give up. This matter had become too big of a fuss, and he had no choice but to report it. Besides, since his uncle, the emperor, had sent him to investigate and knew the location so well, he must have some knowledge of the matter!
Emperor Mingxi: I just heard about it too!
He waved to Xie Zhiyao expressionlessly. When Xie Zhiyao realized that his cousin had recognized him, hesitantly lingered in front of Shen Kang.
He ignored Xie Zhiyao, who was trying to get his way, and waved to the Xu family father and son, who were trying to shrink into the crowd but could not hide their obese bodies.
The two of them, their faces flushed, squeezed their way out of the crowd.
Shen Kang said expressionlessly, "Come with me to the palace!"
Xie Zhiyao wanted to refuse, but Shen Kang gave her a cold glare, so she had no choice but to obey.
Although her surname is Xie and her cousin's surname is Shen, in fact, Shen Kang is the current emperor's nephew.
Even her brother's daughter has to step aside!
The Xu family father and son dared not utter a word; if even the princess had to go, the two of them couldn't escape it either.
Just as Emperor Mingxi finished reviewing the materials in his hand, Shen Kang led Xie Zhiyao and the Xu family father and son to the Empress Dowager's palace.
Upon seeing her own grandson, the Empress Dowager was naturally overjoyed and immediately invited Shen Kang to sit to her left.
Because at this moment, the Empress Dowager was sitting on one side, with Yue Fuguang happily munching on pastries, and on the other side, with the Crown Prince completely absorbed in drinking tea.
There is no longer a place for Shen Kang.
As soon as Shen Kang left, Xie Zhiyao and the Xu family father and son, who were still dressed as servants when they came in, were immediately revealed.
When Princess Taikang saw her husband and son, she assumed they had just returned from outside the city and happily invited them to stand in a row beside her.
[This girl looks like a sweet girl, how can she have such a strong desire for power?]
"Little Pearl, you can judge a book by its cover. Besides, men can play with power, so why can't women have a piece of it?"
It's not wrong for her to want rights; the problem is that her methods are wrong.
Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny? You can want it, you can have it, but…”
