Inside the east wing room.
Everyone continued drinking.
Lu Wenhe pondered silently.
Although her father dotes on her, he can understand things once they're explained to him.
Jing Wei was also thinking about it.
If her aunt becomes the official wife, it will be a good thing for her family. Treating her well will also make things better for the Chang family.
No one will force anyone to do so. However, if General Lü considers the connection to the Crown Prince's position, he might consider his aunt.
However, Jing Wei can honestly say that although her aunt's abilities are not as good as You's, she is devoted to the Lü family and respects the eldest daughter.
The Jing family benefited from the Lü family's influence, but the Jing family had no intention of relying on the Lü family to prosper.
Anyway, the Jing family isn't doing too badly now, and Jing Wei doesn't have that much ambition.
To say she went to see the emperor's brother-in-law is less accurate than saying she took a fancy to that family.
Otherwise, even if the Dong family approached her, she wouldn't agree. Although those in the truly influential Dong family would definitely look down on her.
With Wen Miao's looks, if he encountered someone who didn't appreciate his beauty, he would probably take several concubines.
A palace maid came and reported, "Chang Chenghui wants to play the zither."
Di Baose said, "Didn't we prepare a zither for her?"
The palace maid chuckled softly, "Incense must be burned. It won't do without it."
Huan Yue said, "Aren't chives quite fragrant?"
Di Baose said to her, "How vulgar!"
Huan Yue replied, “To not eat and yet play the zither is truly elegant! Don’t you know the story of High Mountains and Flowing Water? Even a woodcutter can listen to the zither.”
Jing Wei said, "Is being a drunkard not about drinking and playing the zither?"
Huan Yue instructed the palace maids: "If you don't want to play the zither, chop it up and burn it as firewood."
Di Baose said, "Why would you smash a perfectly good zither?"
Huan Yue asked, "You can?"
Di Baose looked at Wenmiao; she was the truly talented woman!
Wenmiao smiled, didn't stand on ceremony, got up to wash his hands, and began playing the zither in the Jixian Pavilion in front.
The sound of the piano drifted through the flowerbed, carrying a fragrance that was very pleasant to hear.
Huan Yue thought Lü Wenhe was also a talented woman.
Lu Wen smiled and shook her head; she dared not compare herself to Miss Wen. Miss Wen's skill lay not in technique, but in artistic conception.
She has a good personality. Lu Wenhe felt that she was being pampered.
Jing Wei smiled and said to her, "Being pampered is a blessing. The Wen family is easy to get along with. You're not the matriarch, so it'll be fine as long as you and your husband live in harmony."
Lu Wen smiled and replied, "Are you going to become the matriarch?"
Jing Wei wasn't ashamed at all: "I'll take care of farming. Farming is really hard work, but it's actually quite nice to grow some land and raise a few chickens. Look at chickens more often, and you can draw chickens later."
Lu Wenhe frowned and said to her, "My father probably wants to remarry, but my uncle disagrees."
Jing Wei said in a low voice, "Now that you've remarried, your uncle isn't the only one from your maternal family."
Huan Yue chimed in, "Why should outsiders interfere so much in the Lü family's affairs? Doesn't General Lü have the ability? He probably thought it was for his daughter's sake before, and that a falling out would be bad for her."
Lu Wenhe nodded, his mind preoccupied.
Jing Wei reassured her, "You have your father."
Lu Wen smiled and said, "I can't always rely on him. At worst, I'll have a fight with my uncle."
Jing Wei quickly advised, "Don't argue. Talk to your uncle properly; maybe he and your mother used to have a good relationship."
Lu Wenhe was unambiguous: "No matter how good our relationship is, my mother married into the Lu family, so he is my uncle. I still have my own father."
Jing Wei and the Empress exchanged a glance, deciding that Miss Lü should handle it herself.
The eunuch came to report: "Pei Huanjiao has been sent back to the Pei residence and has been compensated with a lot of things. Pei Huanjiao cried and said that Prince Zheng had done all sorts of things to her in the past, and she had a lot of evidence to back it up. Now it seems that Prince Zheng started her up and then abandoned her."
Lu Wenhe shook his head: "How shameless!"
Jing Wei nodded: "She went to Prince Zheng's residence herself, so there's no basis for her claims."
Di Baose said cheerfully, "Everyone knew about Miss Pei's reputation before, so everyone was deceived. Prince Zheng is young and was deceived, so everyone can only sympathize with him."
Guo Bing nodded: "That was a terrible move."
Huan Yue said, "Although she may find someone to elope with, she might not be able to find one for a while."
Di Baose scoffed: "How could that be? The young ladies of the Pei family all have their eyes on His Highness and the princes. How could an ordinary person possibly be interested in them?"
The Pei family is now the biggest joke.
To say they were all stunningly beautiful would be one thing, but that's not really the case.
But she's incredibly bold and has no scruples. She's ruined King Zheng's reputation; how could his people tolerate her?
Fortunately, Huan Yue entered the palace. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy for him to live under the guise of being a daughter of the Pei family.
As for what's happening in the palace, we'll have to wait and see.
The lady-in-waiting came over and asked Miss Lü to accompany Miss Jing to see Madam He. Wen Yuan also accompanied her out of courtesy.
Wenmiao won't go; she'll be the Princess Consort of Peng in the future, and the impact will be different.
Di Baose asked Wen Miao, "Should we go and see Consort Shen?"
Wenmiao shook his head.
Di Baose remained silent.
It seems that Consort Shen has stolen Dong's good daughter-in-law, and Dong doesn't know what to do next.
However, without the imperial seal, it's not as effective as before, and she's still in Yongcui Palace these past few days.
Xie Zhou invited his elder brother to come along.
When King Peng saw Wen Miao, his face turned red.
Huan Yue was extremely curious!
Di Baose was quite bold and went straight for the gossip: "Have you met before?"
Prince Peng could not back down: "I met him once at the Wen residence."
Wow! The flames of gossip are burning brightly!
Wen Miao glared at her.
No, Di Baose is so unruly that no one can control her: "King Peng, tell me, you two are quite destined for each other."
King Peng stopped talking and only said, "Everyone praises her, saying she's so amazing!"
Wenmiao replied, "My grandfather also praised you."
Wow! Huan Yue thought he had done a great job as a matchmaker.
Xie Zhou, holding his wife's hand, was concerned about what others were doing.
Huan Yue suppressed him and said to King Peng, "Although you have married a good wife, your sister-in-law is so good that I have to borrow half a day from her every day."
Di Baose chimed in, "That's right! Your playing is beautiful, even the Empress can't do it! And your flying white technique is just as good as the Empress's!"
Xie Zhou sat with his wife in the Jixian Pavilion.
It was not appropriate for Prince Peng to stay here. He went out through the Xuanfu Gate at the back and entered the palace to see Consort Shen.
Wenmiao had no choice but to go with him to meet him.
Guo Bing then disappeared.
Inside the pavilion, only Xie Zhou remained, holding his wife.
What did Huan Yue think of him now?
Xie Zhou nuzzled her neck and said, "I have truly married a virtuous wife."
Huan Yue asked, "Don't you know that virtuous wives often end up in tragic circumstances?"
Xie Zhou hugged her tightly: "No. Your Highness doesn't know, General Lü owes you a favor. You won him over quietly through Miss Lü, and he didn't even complain."
Huan Yue asked, "What did I take him for? To have with my wine?"
Xie Zhou hugged his wife and laughed heartily. It was precisely because she didn't do anything that General Lü accepted this favor.
General Lü is truly good to his daughter; anyone who gets along with her will give him leeway.
Now that his daughter is married into the Wen family, and with the Empress Dowager watching over her in the future, he has no worries at all.
Huan Yue said, "Miss Lü's maternal family has some issues. Since General Lü treats his daughter well, there's no way he should separate the father and daughter."
Xie Zhou said, "I have vaguely heard that General Lü's wife died because of him."
Huan Yue asked, "Did you strangle him with your own hands?"
Of course not.
"He was having a passionate affair with a concubine, and she came to his door pregnant and made a scene, which angered him to death?"
no.
Xie Zhou had a bad feeling and didn't dare let his wife say it, so he kissed her instead.
