Qing'e Palace.
Huan Yue returned, changed his clothes, and then sat down under the Jixian Pavilion, not wanting to move.
Those things were indeed beyond her control; she lay there thinking about them until the end of time.
That was only because she scared some people and had the emperor's backing; otherwise, I don't know how the fake heiress would have handled it.
Huan Yue initially thought it was good, but Dong was too good at making a fuss.
Xie Zhou sat down next to his wife, who looked like she had a headache.
Huan Yue had a terrible headache and felt a bit nauseous.
Xie Zhou kissed her.
Huan Yue wanted to slap him to death.
He was probably used to dealing with this every day, and some people even enjoyed it. Huan Yue didn't care about others; he just wanted peace and quiet.
Xie Zhou held her hand and coaxed her, "It should calm down for a while. It won't happen often."
Huan Yue kept her eyes closed, regardless of the darkness and cold wind. She was dressed quite warmly.
It would be so much better if this bastard didn't keep nagging me. He should just go to the beautiful women he wants; why does he have to come here and make me sick? That's just how men are.
Xie Zhou apologized to his wife, saying, "If you're not feeling well, just stay in the palace."
Huan Yue asked coldly, "Do you think things will ever be peaceful in this palace?"
Xie Zhou assured him, "It is absolutely possible."
Huan Yue scoffed. Anyway, since they'd brought this to her, she wouldn't care about their reputation. It seemed like they were courting death; people don't know how they'll die until they do.
Xie Zhou was about to cry. He would definitely make the Eastern Palace quiet again; his wife believed him.
Huan Yue believed that ginkgo trees could become spirits rather than men.
The female official came over and reported, "Consort Guo has taken a look and decided to stay at Xuexiang Courtyard."
Huan Yue said, "That place is a bit small."
The lady-in-waiting replied, "I told her that Consort Guo said it was fine. We've settled in now, and she'll come back tomorrow."
Huan Yue nodded: "Then let her be for now, settle her in properly, and let her know if she needs anything."
The female official withdrew. She thought Consort Guo was the best, ranking her after the Empress.
The pomegranate bonsai on the side is quite nice.
Huan Yue closed his eyes again.
Xie Zhou thought his wife was delicate and wanted to be pampered. He explained in a low voice, "The Dong family controls the Ministry of War. They must have set a trap for Guo Chu to blackmail him. Guo Chu is stubborn. Since the Dong family can't have him, they're using him to annoy me."
Huan Yue closed his eyes, disdainful. Disgusted? He was utterly delighted.
Fortunately, Guo Bing is truly aloof and not like Di Baose, otherwise the Eastern Palace would be in chaos, and the Crown Prince would still be able to ascend to the throne.
This man is lucky; he enjoys everything.
Even if he wanted to rewind and try a different approach, Huan Yue wasn't interested.
Xie Zhou wanted to cry. It was problematic if a woman who entered the Eastern Palace wasn't favored.
Was it easy for him?
However, even if it's a rumor, he'll stand up for it this time. His wife believes him.
Like today, could we refuse? Then Ms. Dong would continue to cause trouble. Ms. Guo is the victim.
Xie Zhou said, "Guo Chu has been guarding Xiya for a long time, and he needs to send someone to Sheng'an. He won't feel at ease if he doesn't accept him."
Huan Yue asked, "Where is his grandson?"
Xie Zhou said, "Guo Chu had fifteen sons, ten of whom died. Miss Guo's father died in battle five years ago."
Huan Yue understood. No wonder he developed that kind of personality.
Isn't the imperial court worse than pigs (dogs)? They're causing families to be torn apart.
However, Huan Yue had nothing to say about the overall situation. Besides, Miss Guo might not be doing well at home, but wouldn't she be wealthy enough in Sheng'an? She wouldn't seek to become the Crown Prince's consort in the Eastern Palace; she'd rather be a wealthy and respectable concubine.
This was an attempt to appease the Guo family.
Dong's disgusting behavior aroused the emperor's suspicion.
The Dong family couldn't get Guo Chu, so the Crown Prince must also want him. Would the Emperor be willing?
Xie Zhou made it clear to his wife: "You can treat Guo Shi however you want."
Huan Yue saw his ruthlessness. He had once doted on her, but now he was tired of her and that was it.
Xie Zhou asked his wife, "What does Luo intend to do?"
Huan Yue glanced at him: "What should we do?"
Xie Zhou felt a chill in his heart, but he held his wife tightly, saying, "We should still be careful around her."
Huan Yue scoffed: "Stop it?"
Xie Zhou kissed her: "I will have people keep a close eye on things. If Dong makes another move against the Crown Prince, I will chop off her claws."
Wow! The male lead is definitely amazing. Is he tired of his white moonlight and waiting for the next true love?
Huan Yue pushed him away.
A palace attendant came over and saw that His Highness was being disliked as usual, and that His Highness was keeping his head down and not being able to see.
Xie Zhou is fine; his wife is his, and they'll be entangled for life.
The eunuch whispered, "The Chen family has decided to register Chen Yue under the Meng family's name. Chen Zhun will be given one hundred strokes of the cane, Chen Ke will kneel outside his stepmother's courtyard for one night, and You Shi will recuperate from now on."
Huan Yue laughed and said, "One concubine, what a grand display."
The eunuch chimed in, "That's right. In Chen Zuozhi's household, everyone has to be mindful of the You family's feelings."
Huan Yue said, "The Chen family still has those two branches."
Those two houses aren't bad either.
The eunuch nodded: "That's why Chen Zhun dotes on Lady You, but Chen Zuo might not. It's just because Chen Zhun is the eldest son and Chen Ke is the eldest grandson."
Huan Yue said, "Considering Chen Ke's brothers and their children and grandchildren, we must show leniency towards the You family. The You family has already won."
The eunuch said, "This matter has caused quite a stir, and the Jianping Earl's Mansion must make a gesture."
Huan Yue nodded; she was also recuperating and feeling quite comfortable.
The You family has already achieved great success in life and can now enjoy it. Isn't it wonderful to have their daughter-in-law manage the household instead of doing anything themselves?
Chen Ke knelt outside his stepmother's door. Could his stepmother still fight with her daughter-in-law for power?
Making a gesture isn't difficult, but for some people it's a belief, making it hard to back down.
The eunuch said, "The strangest one is Chen Zhi. She was previously unknown, but today she actually dared to go to the Pei residence and even dared to set a trap with Chen Zuo, tricking Madam You. Moreover, her statement about becoming a concubine is a bit strange."
Unless everyone turns a blind eye, it's impossible for Chen Yue to become the Princess Consort of Qi and for Chen Zhi to become her concubine.
Which concubine in this world isn't ugly?
The Eastern Palace.
Chen Zhiyi's words were not surprising in themselves. But that was the atmosphere in the Eastern Palace.
Huan Yue pondered this, and then he saw the scoundrel frown.
Xie Zhou doesn't remember Chen Zhi. But Chen Zhi's actions do raise some questions.
Xie Zhou instructed, "Keep an eye on her."
We don't need to keep such a close eye on the Pei family anymore. Although we still need to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't cause any trouble.
If the Chen family does this, countless onlookers will surely be watching closely.
Everyone sees the Chen family favoring their concubines over their wives, so the Chen family is doing this for show.
Xie Zhou said, "If Chen Zhi does anything again, we might as well lend her a hand."
Let everyone see. The Chen family is about to put on quite a show. It can't just end with them kneeling.
Do you think you can fool the world by saying that Madam You is recuperating? So what if she has children? Weren't they conceived through rape?
Huan Yue asked, "Miss Chen, do you wish to enter the palace?"
Xie Zhou's expression was grim. He asked his wife, "What do you think the Eastern Palace is?"
What is it?
Huan Yue said, "If the Earl of Jianping is determined to send it."
Xie Zhou remembered and sneered, "Then let's see how determined they are."
Huan Yue understood that as long as he gained enough benefits, that was all that mattered. So what was the Eastern Palace?
Xie Zhou hugged his wife and said, "Don't think too much. You're the only one for me in this life."
Huan Yue kicked her away; she wanted to rest.
I've been annoyed all day.
It's not that she's being dramatic, she's just genuinely not used to it, right?
Xie Zhou kissed his wife, "Rest well, I have other things to attend to. Luo Shi dared to cast a curse in the Eastern Palace; it couldn't have been just her doing."
