Qing'e Palace.
Huan Yue was overjoyed that the Crown Prince hadn't come for breakfast.
She could have been happier if the atmosphere hadn't been so awkward.
Xiuyun could see right through it. Anyway, as long as Her Majesty is happy. What happens in court is none of Her Majesty's business.
A palace attendant rushed over and shouted, "Princess Huayang has barged in. The two Consorts Pei wanted to come in, but they were made to kneel outside."
Huan Yue nodded. "Well done."
As for Princess Huayang daring to disturb her meal, Huan Yue came out.
Princess Huayang, leading a group of people, stormed over. Her eyes lit up when she saw Huan Yue, and she was kicked in the stomach.
Huan Yue put his feet down, went into the east wing, and continued eating.
How could we waste such a delicious meal? The autumn sunlight streamed in from behind, and birds sang in the trees.
Xiuyun served him while glancing out the window.
Just like Princess Huayang wanting to storm Qing'e Palace, it's not easy for ordinary people to stop her. Similarly, if the Crown Princess wanted to beat her, no one could do anything about it.
Princess Huayang was in a sorry state, looking completely different from her former glory. She was a shrew, but she couldn't beat her.
Princess Huayang coughed up blood and sat on the ground crying.
The servants around her looked rather disheveled, so they helped her into the Jixian Pavilion to sit down. Anyway, Consort Huan often sat there.
After Huan Yue finished eating, he strolled over and sat down.
Princess Huayang stopped crying, tidied herself up, and looked presentable again.
Princess Yongmu came over and sat down at the stone table, preparing to practice calligraphy.
Princess Huayang stared at her, furious!
Princess Yongmu didn't say a word, not to mock Princess Huayang's unhappy marriage, but because the two sisters had nothing to say to each other.
Di Baose came over to watch the fun, and she was dressed so beautifully! She wasn't wearing mourning clothes, and even though she was dressed in bright red and purple, she wasn't gaudy at all.
This makes Princess Huayang appear even more petty; it's unsightly for a favored princess to act like this.
Princess Huayang didn't want this either! She pointed at Qing'e angrily: "Do you know what you've done?"
Huan Yue coldly replied, "Damn it? Impossible."
Di Baose was almost scared to death.
A palace maid said, "The prince consort was with those beauties yesterday..."
Di Baose sneered, "They're just a few beauties, and the princess can't even tolerate them? I thought she was so virtuous! It's only the first time, and she's already like this! What if they have to live together for a lifetime? Wouldn't that be a death sentence? Besides, doesn't this prove that the Imperial Concubine and the princess have good taste and have chosen really good beauties?"
Princess Huayang roared, "Do you know what they said?"
The palace maid whispered, "If he doesn't serve the prince consort well, he will be executed."
Huan Yue laughed and said, "So the prince consort was forced to endure humiliation? The princess doesn't understand at all and still makes a big fuss, disgracing the prince consort as if he were disgracing the King of Zheng. In this world, only you are the most important."
Di Baose coldly retorted: "Selfish!"
Huan Yue nodded: "Too selfish! Those beauties weren't offered to His Majesty or sent to the Eastern Palace, otherwise I would have thanked you properly."
Di Baose exclaimed wildly, "It's so beautiful!"
Huan Yue said, "It will be even more beautiful with the prince consort's pity. Princess, you must be magnanimous and not be cruel to the beauties."
Princess Huayang was furious!
The palace maid whispered, "The princess wanted to bring the county princess and her son this morning, but the prince consort wouldn't allow it."
Huan Yue reprimanded, "That's the Yan family's child. Why are you taking him around all day? A woman who is restless and confined to her home, doesn't she know that it would be inconvenient and awkward for the prince consort to come to the palace? He's the man you're going to spend your life with, and you don't cherish him? There are plenty of people in this world who will cherish him."
Huan Yue called out, "Send some tonics to the Prince Consort. His Highness has quite a few; move some to the Prince Consort first."
Princess Huayang was so angry she nearly vomited blood: "How could you say that?"
Huan Yue said, "You're not a virtuous wife, so I can't do it for you. I have to make amends on behalf of your family so that he'll treat you better in the future."
Di Baose said cheerfully, "Your Majesty's kindness is truly appreciated."
Huan Yue looked up at the sky and said, "I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."
A gust of autumn wind blew, making Di Baose feel desolate.
A palace attendant came to report: "Pei Bo and Madam Qian have both confessed. More than ten servants of the Pei family have committed suicide. The Pei family in Anxing Ward is in great chaos. Some servants have stolen things and run away, while others have gone in to cause trouble."
Princess Huayang pointed at Huan Yue with her finger and said fiercely, "Look at you!"
He was slapped away.
Di Baose sat very dignifiedly.
Princess Yongmu remained motionless. For her sister to try and seize this opportunity was tantamount to suicide.
Pei Bo and Qian Shi have already confessed and are waiting for the Emperor's judgment. What is her sister going to do?
Besides, what does Qing'e have to do with the chaos in the Pei family? If even one of them were useful, would the servants dare to cause trouble?
The Pei family is rotten to the core.
Another eunuch came to report: "Pei Huanxiu ran to the Prince of Qi's residence, begging the Prince of Qi to save him."
Huan Yue didn't laugh out loud, but he exuded joy from the inside out.
Di Baose smiled and nodded. The boy had done a good job. No matter how the King of Qi ultimately dealt with him, this matter was now connected to the King of Qi.
Thinking a little further: Was Prince Qi involved in Pei Huanxiu's arson?
Otherwise, how could Pei Huanxiu have lit it so smoothly by herself?
It's a huge disaster.
Did the King of Qi have a reason to deal with them? Of course he did.
Master Qiu is from the lineage of the King of Wu, which inevitably puts him at odds with the current lineage.
Princess Yongmu felt sympathy for the two Lady Peis kneeling outside.
Pei Huanxiu unleashed a devastating attack, aiming to destroy the entire Pei family.
However, since the Pei family wanted to sell him, it wasn't wrong for him to do so.
Princess Yongqing arrived at Qing'e Palace.
Huan Yue noticed that the eldest princess seemed quite carefree.
Princess Yongqing shook her head: "I came here to hide."
Huan Yue blinked.
The princess, shameless as ever, said, "Qing'e took me in for two days. How could a woman like me meddle in those matters?"
Huan Yue took her hand and touched it.
The princess was instantly amused.
Her hands are well-maintained, but how can they compare to those of a young girl?
The eldest princess knew that Qing'e was going to practice calligraphy in the morning: "Go ahead."
Huan Yue said without ceremony, "Aunt, please do as you please."
The eldest princess came with only a few people, almost like she was sneaking around.
Chaoyun will be able to settle her in properly.
Princess Yongmu then had some peace and quiet.
When the eldest princess heard that Princess Huayang had come to cause trouble, she sighed, "It's also helping Prince Consort Huayang escape a disaster."
Princess Yongmu blinked.
Princess Yongqing said gently, "Someone saw He Yuzhi come out from inside."
The Cuiyun Pavilion has many attractions, and it's also known as a den of iniquity; most people can't get in.
Princess Yongmu had no feelings for He Yuzhi.
Di Baose lamented, "Nobody saw him naked."
Princess Yongmu was amused.
The eldest princess shook her head. As for Princess Huayang's trouble with those six beauties, it really wasn't a big deal.
However, she only came to cause trouble at the East Palace and was punished.
What woman doesn't like a delicate, beautiful woman? Princess Yongqing, however, didn't care for such things.
Besides, keeping those beauties would cost a lot of money.
Even the most delicate flowers will wither if they are not properly cared for.
They all look pretty much the same once they're wilted. But what matters is that they're kept looking pampered and delicate.
When they run out of money, they'll resort to all sorts of tricks; don't even think about getting away with it.
When Xie Zhou came over, he saw the Princess leisurely drinking tea under the tree.
Time, beauty.
Perhaps his wife will live like this from now on? She won't wither away so early.
