It was chilly when I woke up early.
Huan Yue was still dressed lightly, running around the Qing'e Palace.
At this moment, Chenghua Hall was quiet. Yan Boxuan had stayed very quietly last night.
After Huan Yue finished practicing the Eight Pieces of Brocade, he heard loud shouts coming from the other end.
Having kids around makes things lively. Yan Boxuan was very happy.
"Mother! Your Majesty! Sister! Aunt!"
The childish voice echoed throughout the Eastern Palace; it had that familiar charm.
The Crown Prince's lack of children is a bit of a problem; Yan Boxuan alone is enough.
Princess Yongmu pulled him out to find the Empress.
Yan Fufu got up at this moment, dressed very cutely, and looked very energetic.
Princess Yongmu deliberately led Yan Boxuan around in a circle, and when they found the inner palace, the Empress had already changed her clothes.
"Your Majesty!" Yan Boxuan happily hugged her leg.
Hmm? The child frowned. What did he touch?
Huan Yue coaxed him, "I haven't washed my face yet. Go pick a basket of vegetables, and we'll have breakfast."
“Let’s go together!” Yan Boxuan said, pulling her hand.
Princess Yongmu came over and pulled her along: "Why don't you go pick some vegetables to treat Her Majesty?"
Yan Fufu came over and pulled her younger brother away, otherwise she couldn't get through to him.
Yan Boxuan came out and looked outside the kitchen, where the maid was picking vegetables.
When Huan Yue came out after getting dressed, he saw Yan Boxuan covered in mud.
Princess Huayang charged in with a scream!
This gave Yan Boxuan a huge fright!
Princess Yongmu quickly protected her nephew and retorted to her sister, "This isn't the first time Boxuan has played in the dirt, are you never going to stop?"
Princess Huayang's eyes widened!
Princess Yongmu, though gentle, might be a bit impulsive early in the morning: "Don't you know what your father is punishing you for? Why did you come here to vent your anger? Are you trying to let your father know you're unhappy? Boxuan is perfectly fine here, why are you punishing Qing'e? You never forget to use your son, what a good mother!"
Princess Huayang was truly bewildered, then she looked at Qing'e!
She was dressed neatly early in the morning. She wore a pearl flower in her hair and a very exquisite light purple silk robe.
Especially the ruffled hem around the neckline, which gives it a girlish charm in the morning breeze.
She wasn't wearing a skirt, but rather culottes, with tapered cuffs. They looked like lantern pants, and when bunched up, they were just as stylish as a skirt.
In fact, Huan Yue basically made them into stirrup pants, with the cuffs tucked into socks and piled up to cover them.
She didn't care about the amount of cloth.
Princess Yongmu and the palace maids cleaned Yan Boxuan.
Yan Boxuan looked at his mother with some suspicion, but then became bolder when he looked at his aunt: "Your Majesty!"
Huan Yue laughed and said, "Why did you change from picking vegetables to digging the ground?"
Yan Boxuan laughed heartily: "Plant beans!"
Huan Yue nodded: "Plant peas, and we'll eat pea shoots later."
Yan Boxuan shouted, "Eat pea shoots!"
Princess Huayang gave up on her foolish son! She couldn't hold a grudge; her son was already growing distant from her.
The son is a crucial asset for Princess Huayang's position, so please don't bring him to the Eastern Palace anymore.
Another eunuch ran over to gossip: "Yesterday, Pei Jinnu and Pei Huanxin from the Pei family went to the Yongning Prince's mansion to see Pei Huanqiao. When they woke up this morning, the three of them were lying together. The Yongning Prince kept Pei Jinnu and Pei Huanxin with him."
Princess Huayang held back everything she wanted to say. Except for one complaint.
The Prince Qi's residence only has two women, Pei Huanying and Pei Huanfeng.
The three sisters of the Prince of Yongning's Mansion! And there's also the famous Pei Jinnu!
Huan Yue chuckled: "The Prince of Yongning is very polite and invited them to dine."
Yan Boxuan exclaimed happily, "I want to eat!"
Huan Yue asked, "Are you hungry? Ask your mother if she's eaten yet, or if she wants to eat with you?"
Yan Boxuan ran over and pulled his mother.
Princess Huayang didn't want to eat, so she picked up her son and said, "Let's go see Grandma." She casually said to Qing'e, "I'll be going now, I'll thank you later."
Huan Yue casually replied, "No need to be so polite. Thanks to them, the Emperor has bestowed upon us plenty of food."
Princess Huayang didn't want to listen, so she told her silly son to quickly take the child away, otherwise she might not be able to.
Yan Fufu quickly followed, not caring whether she packed her things or not.
Huan Yue did not stay.
Princess Yongmu remained silent.
Huan Yue saw that she had regained her gentleness. He smiled; the princess had looked beautiful just now.
The princess blushed. It's true, some people are so scheming that they can't help but show off their cleverness.
Did Princess Huayang like her son? Yes. But she would habitually exploit him.
Empress Dong then made the most of Xie Geng's talents.
Without children, it's much easier for everyone to gossip. Although gossiping isn't a good habit.
But the Pei family girl is really outrageous!
Cherry couldn't help but exclaim, "You're really quick!"
The cat glanced at her: "Don't you feel ashamed? If you want to..."
Cherry wouldn't dare!
However, Pei Jinnu is really something else. She used to want to enter the Eastern Palace, but she ended up in the Yongning Prince's Mansion instead. This is really unpleasant.
Besides, with the Empress and Chang Chenghui now in the Crown Prince's palace, the Pei family has become a laughingstock enough.
The palace maid asked, "Won't Pei Huanqiao be so angry that she dies?"
Huan Yue said, "What's the point of getting angry over a concubine? Besides, Pei Jinnu is capable. If the sisters were truly united, things could get complicated. They each have their own unique characteristics and aren't the same type of person."
It seems that Pei Bo took several concubines, and the Prince of Yongning took several of his daughters as concubines.
In ancient times, concubines were of the highest status when sisters married together; a medium status was when a woman of high status brought several concubine daughters or women from collateral branches of the clan as part of her dowry; and the lowest status was when a maidservant accompanied her as part of the dowry.
A prince and ten concubines of the first rank were considered to be of the sixth rank. This established the relatively high status of concubines.
Although such cases are rare nowadays, especially among respectable families, it would be truly remarkable for Pei Jinnu and Pei Huanxin to obtain the rank of a sixth-grade concubine.
The palace maid said, "It's good that someone has taken Pei Jinnu in."
She's going to cause trouble for Chang Dalang.
Huan Yue said, "Ordinary people are not good enough for her."
Jia Fei added, "It's good that she lives a good life from now on."
That's impossible. If the three sisters can all end up together at the Prince's mansion, how can things ever settle down?
The maidservant worried, "Will Pei Jinnu ask Prince Yongning to deal with Chang Dalang?"
Huan Yue didn't care at all: "She'll just deal with it."
Cherry felt the morning breeze was a bit chilly. The Empress might be about to beat someone again.
The Empress beat Chang Chenghui so badly, and His Highness still gave her a mace to strike the Prince of Yongning?
Actually, Chang Dalang is not without a backer now. He is engaged to Miss Jing, who is General Lü's niece.
That would be a long story. Unless Pei Jinnu has that much charm.
Or perhaps the Prince of Yongning used her to cause trouble.
Huan Yue went to eat.
Xie Zhou arrived right on time, holding his wife's hand.
Huan Yue glanced at him, realizing he had missed out on a beauty.
Xie Zhou kissed her; he could never miss this chance in this lifetime.
"What a scoundrel," Huan Yue thought to himself. "The Pei family has several more; there's no rush to send them later."
Xie Zhou said, "Xie Xuan likes people with beautiful hands."
Huan Yue is a bit strange.
Xie Zhou also realized that his wife was driving.
Huan Yue thought he was about to have his carriage wrecked and everyone die.
Xie Zhou was so excited because his wife had beautiful hands! He was even excited while eating!
What a scoundrel! Huan Yue is eating two catties of beef while hiding his trump card, ready to strike down the tyrannical emperor!
Xie Zhou, with a forty-pound mace hanging from his head, remained unfazed. That was because his wife was protecting him.
