Princess Huayang had been up all night and was not in good condition.
Even though she was young and vigorous, she looked much older after a few years.
Huan Yue, Di Baose, and Guo Bing are all much younger than her.
Princess Yongmu wore a light red gauze robe, looking gentle and delicate, and was much more beautiful than Princess Huayang.
Princess Huayang was just talking to her sister: "I'm just concerned about her!"
Huan Yue, whose status far surpassed Princess Huayang's, spoke without any politeness: "You care how many taels of silver she's worth? You're just a married woman, while she's a princess of the Xie family. You can't control her because she has an emperor and an empress. Do you really think that an elder sister, like a mother, has worried herself to death by not kneeling down to apologize, and you're showing off? What's there to show off?"
Di Baose said, "The royal princess has a noble status, and even your mother is not qualified to interfere. If the empress doesn't care, then it should be the crown princess."
Everyone can see that Di Baose is just one word: reckless.
Just go for it! Anyway, Princess Huayang can't easily touch her.
Huan Yue mocked Princess Huayang: "What a good sister you are, selling the royal princess by weight! You've ruined the business, and now you're blaming her? Most people can't handle your level of concern. You should worry more about yourself."
Di Baose was reckless: "You care so much about your sister, but Madam Yang insulted her. Why don't you rush to the He family and slap her twice? If you go now, I'll respect you from now on! Otherwise, I'll really look down on you. You only show off your power to us! You're a bully at home! If Madam Yang dares to come, Her Majesty will make her swallow it!"
Guo Bing remained silent.
Look how clever Di Baose is; she always hides behind the Empress when something happens.
Princess Huayang cried out, "Madam Yang, she is!"
Huan Yue slapped her away.
Princess Huayang flew from the pavilion to the flower garden.
Di Baose jumped up and down, looking like she wanted to rush over and stomp on him a couple more times.
The princess's men quickly helped her up, and they were terrified of Lady Huan.
Princess Huayang protested: "She is, after all, an elder!"
Huan Yue rushed over and kicked her.
The princess's men tried to pull her away, but she couldn't escape.
Di Baose stood in the pavilion, hands on her hips, and cursed, "Elders? Are you an ancestor of the Cui family? Not an ancestor of the Xie family! You bully my Xie family's princess and expect me to treat you like an ancestor? You're quite the grandson!"
Guo Bing coldly added, "Princess Huayang probably doesn't have the surname Xie."
Princess Huayang really vomited blood!
Madam Yang was confident because her family was the Yang family!
Di Baose sneered: "Yang Tao is her niece, so tell me, whose side does the Yang family take? Isn't your scheming ridiculous? You'll lose your sister and get nothing in return!"
Princess Huayang looked up and stared at her!
Di Baose snorted and turned to sit down in the pavilion.
Did he really think she was stupid? Yang Tao was arrogant and didn't take the Crown Princess seriously.
Madam Yang dares to turn the tables and accuse others; does she even respect the sage?
Princess Huayang is still being treated like an ancestor; I don't know how much that will ruin her reputation.
Therefore, Consort Cui and Princess Huayang only had the reputation of being favored by the emperor, but no other prestige.
Unlike other women, Lady Huan made a lasting impression from the moment she arrived.
A palace attendant came to deliver a message: "The case of the Bai family massacre has been closed. His Majesty has decreed: the Bai family of Baishi Village is pardoned, the Chang family is granted a 30-year reprieve, and the Bai family is granted a 10-year reprieve. Changhe County is granted a 3-year reprieve."
Princess Huayang hadn't even left in a disheveled state when it seemed she had been slapped again.
Isn't this doing a favor for the Crown Princess in Changhe County?
The three-year exemption meant a three-year exemption from taxes and corvée labor.
If things were to resume thirty years later, the Chang family of Baishi Village would probably be fine.
How could one not be grateful to the Crown Princess?
Even the Crown Prince's efforts to take concubines weren't this extensive. And this is before they've even officially recognized each other as relatives.
Princess Huayang thought of something: Dong Xu went to Changhe County, and he did nothing, yet the people were already grateful to the Crown Princess.
If the Crown Princess and the Empress don't get along, how can everyone treat the Dong family and Xie Geng well?
Princess Huayang shuddered at the thought of her father's methods.
She still hadn't learned it, but Huan Yue seemed to know some things.
Princess Huayang dared not think too deeply about it.
If the He family disrespects Princess Yongmu, the Emperor intends to teach them a lesson. Princess Huayang, however, is on a different side.
But Huan Yue isn't afraid of offending anyone, so why does her father dote on her so much?
Princess Huayang has left.
No one paid much attention. After all, they couldn't do anything to her. Huan Yue hadn't hit her lightly either.
It wasn't appropriate to congratulate Huan Yue about the events in Baishi Village, but everyone was still happy.
Princess Yongmu felt that Qing'e was not only boastful, but also had the confidence to back it up.
Di Baose shouted, "Tell Chang Chenghui this good news?"
Ren Zhaoxun exclaimed happily, "I'll go!"
Huan Yue laughed and said, "Be careful not to let her hold a grudge."
Ren Zhaoxun was grateful to the Empress. She could gloat, but she couldn't be petty. She had to be magnanimous and consider her own interests.
As for Chang Chenghui still holding a grudge, so what?
Sun said, "Although farming is still the norm in Baishi Village, it's much easier now. The Bai family used to have a falling out with the Chang family, but they probably won't dare to do that anymore."
Let the Chang family settle down in Baishi Village and farm in peace. If they are still dissatisfied and go to the capital, it won't be because the Empress is unkind.
Guo Bing said, "If taxes and corvée labor are exempted, farming will be very easy."
Huan Yue said, "They should all be wealthy in thirty years."
This is more respectable than giving money directly!
As long as you go out and travel around the surrounding villages, you'll always have that kind of prestige!
Once the money is given, it's gone.
They can't feel anything good outside of Baishi Village; they are at the very bottom of society.
But farming in Baishi Village gives one a great sense of superiority compared to those who have lived there for generations.
As for the people of Baishi Village daring to bully others, that's a different story.
Huan Yue felt that population restrictions could be implemented first in Baishi Village.
If they become wealthy, they will have children, be able to afford to raise them, and even take concubines.
Poor girls from the surrounding villages would probably send their daughters to Baishi Village for a few bushels of rice.
If that's the case, it's disgusting.
Therefore, Huan Yue had to write down everything he could think of and set rules for them.
Ordinary people were not allowed to take concubines or call servants.
Families with more than three male members or more than four daughters are required to pay taxes.
Families with only one son or one daughter receive various forms of compensation every year.
We guarantee we won't be bullied just because we're outnumbered.
When Ren Zhaoxun arrived at Shicui Hall, she was honestly quite jealous; what a wonderful vegetable garden!
A group of onlookers came to watch the spectacle, cutting chives and picking cucumbers from the vegetable garden. This was something Cheng Hui couldn't do in the short term.
Ren Zhaoxun did not see Chang Chenghui, but was chatting with someone under the eaves: "Being a farmer is pretty good. I even want to go to Baishi Village to farm."
Qing Ai chimed in, "Baishi Village has good feng shui."
Ren Zhaoxun said, "The Emperor decreed that the Chang family of Baishi Village would be granted a 30-year reprieve."
Liu jumped up excitedly: "Thirty years?"
Ren Zhaoxun laughed mischievously: "First you said thirty years, maybe another thirty years."
Liu exclaimed, "If we could just farm without paying taxes, wouldn't we be living like gods?"
Ren Zhaoxun sighed, "Yes, that's why I want to go farming."
The eunuch hurriedly said, "I'd like to go too!"
Liu scolded, "You're not surnamed Chang!"
The eunuch, speaking in a high-pitched voice, said softly, "Don't we have Chang Chenghui?"
Ren Zhaoxun laughed and said, "Chang Chenghui doesn't need to go to Baishi Village to farm."
The eunuch sighed, "What a pity."
