Chapter 164 I Smash Cucumbers



Jixian Pavilion.

Xie Zhou watched as his wife became increasingly smug and lawless!

Huan Yue was originally going to practice calligraphy, but holding the jade pillow made him feel a little sleepy.

This jade pillow is wonderful; it's incredibly comfortable to use.

"High slumber" also has another meaning: living in seclusion and not serving in office, or governing by doing nothing.

Huan Yue only needs to do nothing.

Xie Zhou was afraid that his wife was too capable.

By targeting the Duke of Rong, the Prince of Wu, General Lü, and then General He, the entire court would be ruined.

There's still a lot to deal with regarding the He family's affairs, so she should lie down first and take it easy.

Huan Yue is looking at that scoundrel. Why is he so idle? Why doesn't he go look at Consort Guo or Chang Chenghui?

Xie Zhou's own wife, what's there for others to see? He'll go take care of things first and come back tonight.

Princess Yongmu walked out of Chenghua Palace and saw that His Highness's back view was a bit flirtatious.

The palace maids helped the princess, saying, "Your Highness, you'll get used to it."

Princess Yongmu agreed. The relationship between husband and wife is different from that outside.

The palace maids helped the princess to Jixian Pavilion.

Princess Yongmu noticed that Qing'e was lying more comfortably than she was.

The eunuchs brought over a reclining chair and invited the princess to lie down; it was the same style.

Princess Yongmu had never done this before, but the pavilion was surrounded by gauze curtains, and there was no one else around, so it was quite comfortable to lie down there.

As for the people who used to serve her, they may not be to her liking, and she doesn't care.

Huan Yue looked at her: "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Princess Yongmu smiled gently: "You've slept well, you can sleep again tonight."

Huan Yue nodded, "Perfect, this is a jade pillow bestowed by the emperor. I'll share one with you."

Princess Yongmu hugged the jade pillow and looked at it. It was quite nice; her father doted on her.

Huan Yue gestured to the palace maid to take a good look, and then said to the princess, "The emperor decreed a divorce, but your mother refused. I just spat in her face. Later, she was rewarded with this pair of jade pillows."

Princess Yongmu turned to look at her.

Huan Yue blinked.

A palace maid was slowly fanning herself, adjusting her disheveled hair and slightly disheveled dress.

Everyone was looking at Princess Yongmu.

Princess Yongmu was beautiful and gentle, and with an expression, she said, "She definitely holds a grudge against you."

Huan Yue said, "We're divorced now. Once the dowry is all brought back, what are your thoughts? Or should we talk about it later?"

Princess Yongmu said softly, "I don't know."

Huan Yue started to bluff: "People have to live for themselves."

Di Baose helped Guo Bing over.

Huan Yue sat up and looked at Guo Bing: "She looks alright."

Guo Bing smiled, her smile as bright as a snow lotus in bloom: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I feel much better. I've come out for a walk." She then met the princess again.

Princess Yongmu quickly replied, "You're welcome."

Di Baose helped Guo Bing sit down, and she felt more at ease.

Huan Yue said, "Call Gong Zhaoxun, Ju Zhaoxun, and Ren Zhaoxun together; they are all sensible."

Di Baose laughed and said, "Ren Zhaoxun is a bit more lively."

Huan Yue nodded: "At this age, one should be more carefree. What's the point of living in this world if you can't even live well?"

Di Baose looked at Princess Yongmu: "I remember you were excellent at both music and chess."

Huan Yue asked, "Would you like to compete with the princess in playing the zither or learning chess?"

Di Baose snorted, "I don't want anything."

Huan Yue cursed, "You are ignorant and incompetent."

Guo Bing laughed and said, "Has Your Majesty forgotten her needlework?"

Huan Yue said, "I'm afraid she'll forget herself. She's only consistent in her efforts."

Di Baose shouted, "I didn't! When I'm not busy, I work at least one hour a day, maybe two hours more."

Huan Yue said, "Working for two hours a day should be enough to support myself."

Di Baose leaned closer to her and asked, "Is Your Highness still going to sell roast meat?"

Huan Yue patted her head: "Why think so much? Won't you just look even more foolish?"

Cuizhu chuckled to herself. Di Liangdi's temper was alright; she didn't hold grudges. Look at Chang Ziyu—she was impossible to teach.

Did she suffer less than Consort Di? Can her background compare to Consort Di's? She just doesn't use her brain.

There are people who can turn their lives around, but we can't be reckless.

A palace maid came over and joked, "After waking up, Consort Chen was full of energy and called for someone to serve her. Wasn't Consort Chen energetic yesterday? Today, we made her serve Chang Chenghui. Consort Chen couldn't get up, and Chang Chenghui couldn't move, so he started cursing again. Consort Chen cried so pitifully."

Di Baose said, "I'm not even interested in watching something so cheap."

Huan Yue said, "Luckily, she's focused all her attention on Chang Chenghui. What if she followed you around like a ghost?"

Di Baose was startled: "Can you stop talking about ghosts in broad daylight?"

Huan Yue called out, "Your Majesty~~~"

Di Baose lunged at her and grabbed her by the neck.

Zhu Jin quickly pulled Di Baose away: "Even if you strangle her, she can't become an empress."

Guo Bing couldn't stop laughing.

Lady Shan felt that it was good that the people in the Eastern Palace were constantly reminding Consort Di.

Princess Yongmu smiled too. The difference between having servants who are diligent and those who are not is significant.

The servants of the Di family could control Di Baose, but they genuinely cared for her. The Di family had excellent family traditions.

The Cui family is no good. It's not because the Cui family nephew isn't the crown prince; even if he were, he would probably have to do all sorts of things to consolidate his position and eliminate rivals. The Di family, on the other hand, is much more moderate.

This is just like the demeanor of a principal wife. Di Baose, whom the Di family raised, also has a very good temperament.

Several Zhaoxun (imperial attendants) met the princess.

Princess Yongmu had her own worries, but she was a very gentle person.

Gong Zhaoxun and Ju Zhaoxun were both sensible people, so they said some funny things to make the princess happy.

Ren Zhaoxun said lively: "The vegetables are growing so well, it's just that the cooking skills are not good enough."

Huan Yue said, "If one person learns several dishes, they can't starve. And how can a wife not know how to cook?"

Ren Zhaoxun boasted, "Your Majesty's idea is brilliant! I like tofu, so I'll learn how to make it."

Huan Yue asked, "Do you know how many dishes are in a tofu banquet?"

Ren Zhaoxun blinked.

Huan Yue said, "You can cook at least a hundred dishes. If you learn it well, you can sell them outside sometime."

Ren Zhaoxun asked excitedly, "You can make money selling vegetables?"

Huan Yue said, "Learn it first, and we'll talk about it later."

Ren Zhaoxun was full of enthusiasm: "I'll learn!"

Gong Zhaoxun said, "Everyone likes to eat meat, so why don't I learn to cook meat?"

Ju Zhaoxun said, "I'll cook fish?"

The maidservant chimed in, "That's quite interesting. There's also learning to cook chicken and duck, making snacks, and making soup."

Sunny said, "There's quite a lot of noodles too."

Guo Bing said, "It's fun for each person to learn one or two things."

The Empress can get everyone together, so you can learn a cooking skill without worrying about wasting your time, and you don't have to work so hard to learn everything.

Di Baose asked Huan Yue, "And you?"

Huan Yue blinked: "Smashed cucumber?"

The Jixian Pavilion burst into laughter!

Princess Huayang arrived, and before she even entered the back gate, she heard uproarious laughter, incredibly joyful. As she drew closer, she saw Princess Yongmu sitting there, a faint smile on her face; she was very beautiful.

I'm just jealous!

Huan Yue looked at her.

So frightening!

Princess Yongmu restrained herself, but seeing Princess Huayang's fear was understandable; Qing'e was truly formidable!

Princess Huayang regained her composure and came over to her sister, saying, "You scared me to death!"

Di Baose retorted, "Princess Yongmu is dead, so you'll keep her company? I don't think that's a good thing. She probably wanted to leave in peace."
