Xie Zhou arrived at Jixian Pavilion.
Princess Yongqing has passed away.
Di Baose sat here, holding a round fan in his hand, looking quite stylish.
She was no longer the only legitimate daughter of the Di family, but a concubine living a rather comfortable life in the Eastern Palace.
Although they do not compete for favor or have children, none of them are in the Crown Prince's palace. It is not scarcity that is a cause for concern, but rather inequality, which is what breeds trouble.
Otherwise, they are all women in their teens or twenties, in the prime of their youth and happiness.
Huan Yue sat leisurely to one side.
I heard that Empress Dong summoned Xin Huixi to the palace; I'm looking forward to the excitement.
After all, Xin Huixi could not enter the Eastern Palace; if she did, it would be the Qi Prince's residence.
Xie Zhou stood to one side, looking very awkward. It was as if no one had seen him, and this feeling of being excluded was unpleasant.
Xie Zhou boldly sat down next to his wife.
Huan Yue stood up and said to Di Baose, "Go and see Consort Guo."
"Alright." Di Baose stood up with her fan in hand. Guo Liangdi was aloof and had no friends in Sheng'an. It would be good to go and see her.
Although you need to rest when you're sick, you can't rest forever. Resting too much might cause you to overthink.
Xie Zhou held his wife's hand tightly in his large hand.
Di Baose looked over and gave a cold laugh.
Huan Yue was even stingy with a cold laugh.
Xie Zhou was extremely aggrieved: "Chang Ziyu and I have nothing going on!"
Huan Yue was very generous: "I believe Your Highness is innocent."
Di Baose nodded: "I believe in Your Highness's character."
Huan Yue said, "It is Your Highness's prerogative to take a fancy to whomever you wish."
Di Baose said, "But you have to have good taste. If you fall for that kind of stuff, people will just think you're blind."
Huan Yue said, "Perhaps we were too wicked. I request to move to Qiu Xiang Courtyard tomorrow."
Di Baose said, "You'd better not move. Where you live isn't a problem."
Huan Yue asked Di Baose, "Shall we leave the palace together?"
Di Baose said, "Didn't you say we couldn't leave? You're acting like you're jealous."
Never mind then, Huan Yue will go see Guo Bing.
Di Baose wasn't afraid of Guo Bing gaining favor. She understood that even if Guo Bing did, it wouldn't cause a huge uproar. What she feared were people like Chang Ziyu or Luo Yaohui; they were capable of killing.
Xie Zhou, holding his wife, said to Di Baose, "Go and see Consort Guo."
Di Baose watched him being suppressed, thinking he was so powerful? Men are not gods.
Huan Yue and Di Baose came out together and walked silently through the palace.
Everyone else remained silent.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense could guess that His Highness and Chang Ziyu have a past, right? So, can we still trust them?
It all depends on how the Empress relies on herself. With the Emperor's protection, the Prince of Song, and the Eldest Princess, it's not as simple as just falling out of favor.
Di Baose was also pondering. She wouldn't cause trouble, nor would she give anyone an excuse to cripple her. If anyone dared to touch her, she would retaliate fiercely.
Xie Zhou chased after her and took his wife's hand again.
A palace attendant came to deliver a message: "Miss Xin has been bestowed upon Pei Huanxu by Empress Dong."
Huan Yue was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Di Baose was also pleased, but then asked, "Miss Xin is willing?"
If it were before, Pei Huanxu would have been somewhat presentable due to his handsome appearance, but now Pei Huanxu is truly no better than a dog.
Huan Yue said, "The Pei family probably couldn't be happier with this, so the only problem is the Xin family. If Empress Dong can keep them in check, what can Miss Xin do? Who told her to go to Prince Qi's mansion and cause trouble? After all, if she doesn't marry Pei Huanxu, she'll suffer just like Pei Huanjiao."
Di Baose shuddered!
Her family spoils her rotten, allowing her to act this way.
Miss Xin usually seems alright, but didn't she make fun of Jing Wei?
Di Baose smiled, looking particularly beautiful: "Pei Huanxu is the elder brother, and so is Chang Dalang. Xin Huixi and Jing Wei are incomparable."
Huan Yue, with his good temper, said, "You can't say that."
Di Baose nodded and looked at Shicui Palace: "And who else is there?"
Xie Zhou admonished Di Baose: "You should stay out of things from now on."
Di Baose sneered: "You think I'm afraid of you? If you want to protect her, then protect her. I'll just follow the rules."
Di Baose sneered again: "You're so confident just because someone calls you Your Majesty. I wonder what promises you made before? The Phoenix Seal? No wonder, you don't care about the Crown Prince's Palace. The best in the world is waiting for you. It's a pity that the Di family is wasting their time."
If she had known this beforehand, why would she have entered the palace?
Xie Zhou felt that she was being spoiled by the Empress, and her temper had become even worse!
Huan Yue admonished Di Baose: "Some things don't need to be said."
Di Baose sneered, "What I'm trying to say is, you can only endure it, why should I? If she were virtuous, I'd endure it. But with someone like that, why should I bother?"
Xie Zhou was furious: "I told you to stay out of my business with the Empress."
Di Baose sneered, "I'll be waiting for the day you get beaten to death!"
Xie Zhou said, "Don't worry, I won't die. I'll let you continue to act as you please."
Di Baose said disgustedly, "I'm unrestrained? I can't compare to you! Even if I am unrestrained, it's something my Di family earned!"
Di Baose straightened her back: "I don't owe you anything! I don't expect anything from you! Otherwise, I'd be dead sooner or later!"
They're gone.
He didn't even go to see Guo Bing.
Huan Yue turned and went back to Qing'e Palace.
Xie Zhou followed her back.
Huan Yue glanced at him, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.
Xie Zhou was short of breath.
However, having been tricked by Chang Ziyu, Xie Zhou had a different feeling about his wife wanting to kill him.
I just want to hold her and let her kill me, even if it means I want to.
Huan Yue had long known that Chang Ziyu was his unrequited love, so there was nothing for him to think about.
But when a scoundrel tries to change his ways, that's what really annoys people.
Xie Zhou pulled his wife aside and begged for forgiveness: "I promise I'll only be with you from now on, okay?"
Huan Yue had absolutely no interest in it.
She is unfortunate and cannot accept such a thing.
A palace attendant came over, looked at the Empress, and whispered to His Highness, "Consort Chen said she has something important to discuss."
Xie Zhou was particularly cold: "I don't know what the granddaughter of the Earl of Jianping knows? Or does she want to learn from the Jade Pi Master?"
The eunuch's legs went weak.
Someone has already dragged him away; even if they don't kill him, they'll teach him a lesson.
Chen Fengyi and Chang Chenghui were sent back to Shicui Hall, but they did not see His Highness.
Zhihui was busy settling them in and felt it didn't matter whether they stayed at Shicui Palace or not. However, due to the Empress's grace, they had to stay.
No matter what, living here is more comfortable than anywhere else.
You must know, there is much suffering in this world!
Chen Fengyi and Chang Chenghui were led to a side room.
Chen Fengyi gritted her teeth, staring in shock: "How can they live here?"
Zhihui laughed: "If eighty strokes of the cane are not enough, we can make up for it with another eighty strokes in a few days."
Chen Zhi was terrified! But this was everything she had, and she had to ask, "How can I live with the Empress?"
A palace maid laughed from the side, "When you become a concubine, you won't have to live together anymore. Aren't you serving Chang Chenghui like a slave? Remember, you're given three days. After three days, whether you get up or not, you'll still be serving Chang Chenghui. Just bear with it for these three days. After all, quite a few people in the harem have died from being flogged."
Chen Zhi fainted.
I don't know if it's from pain or anger.
Zhihui and a few others cleaned them up.
Just lie here for the rest of the time.
Chang Ziyu opened her eyes, her gaze fixed on Chen Zhi with a light of hatred! She glared at everything with hatred!
Ah! The palace maid accidentally touched the wound, and Chang Ziyu screamed in pain.
