Guangtian Hall was the Crown Prince's sleeping quarters.
It was late at night, but people were still awake.
The Crown Prince taking a concubine is a major event for the nation and the Eastern Palace. Although there was no wedding night prank, it was allowed to be a little later.
The inner hall was decorated not only with a festive atmosphere but also with royal solemnity.
The atmosphere was truly eerie, and many onlookers quietly approached to observe.
The Crown Prince has such a wife, and countless people across the land are watching. And now, at a time like this, everyone seems to be enjoying the spectacle, as if they haven't had enough of a show.
The Crown Princess was dressed in black robes and crimson skirts, very dignified, with delicate features and beautiful eyebrows.
Everyone in Sheng'an knew that the Pei family had a daughter who was exceptionally talented and beautiful, a rare find in the world. Perhaps the Di family's young lady could be compared, although those who knew Miss Di knew that there was a lot of exaggeration in that comparison.
However, the Crown Princess's scholarly air does seem to be a good match for the Crown Prince.
Huan Yue didn't care about being watched. He had been stared at in all sorts of ways at the hospital, and there were no outsiders here, even though no one in the Eastern Palace knew who was behind him.
Yu Zhu couldn't stand it and glared at Huan Yue as if she didn't recognize him.
It would have been better if she had just apologized.
Huan Yue, do you want everyone in the Eastern Palace to see how shameless Pei family servants are to put their heads above the Crown Princess?
Although relationships are based on mutual favors, in the original book, the fake heiress got along quite well with the servants of the Pei family, but didn't she die in the end?
The fake heiress became pregnant with four children in succession. The first two were premature and she lost them, the third died at the age of two, and the fourth died in childbirth, resulting in the death of both mother and child. Some of these deaths were caused by others, while others were caused by Qi Shi and Yu Zhu.
Another reason is the Crown Prince's infatuation with his beloved and his neglect of the Crown Princess.
The Crown Prince's white moonlight is the real daughter, Chang Ziyu, who was transferred from the Pei family to the Chang family.
This was also due to the fact that the fake heiress had worried and worked hard for the crown prince for many years.
Once the fake heiress died, the crown prince ascended the throne smoothly, and the fake heiress was made empress.
There's no such thing as a fake heiress in this world.
Now it's Huan Yue.
She needs to live well; some things are non-negotiable.
Qi had no intention of discussing it with her!
She was hit on the face as soon as she entered the palace. How can Qi Shi survive in the Eastern Palace after that?
Did she think that entering the palace would make her wings grow stronger? Qi Shi's face burned with pain, and her eyes stared at Huan Yue as if they were poisoned.
"Ha," Huan Yue said casually, "Why is a servant so delicate?"
Seeing how adorable a palace maid was, Huan Yue asked, "Are you really that delicate?"
The young palace maid was startled and almost cried while holding the basin. She had to hold the basin steadily or she would really cry. She hurriedly replied, "This servant is not delicate, this servant is thick-skinned."
Huan Yue was pleased: "It's as if the master is arguing with the servants, and the master has to serve you?"
She glanced at it.
The young palace maid quickly knelt down, saying, "I dare not!"
Everyone immediately knelt down!
Huan Yue observed that there were quite a few people, but those carrying basins and other items were all very steady, and those kneeling were not disorderly.
There were those who didn't kneel. There were five people from the Pei family here, and not one of them knelt.
They were there to watch the spectacle, and witnessed a truly grand show.
As the one being watched, Yu Zhu's face turned even uglier. Had Huan Yue gone mad?
What good would it do her to fall out with her own people? With so many people in the Eastern Palace, who would she rely on to gain a foothold?
Even her position as crown prince is not secure. If she doesn't behave herself, does she know how many people will laugh at her and how angry the crown prince will be?
Huan Yue had enough of the people she had seen, although her judgment wasn't that sharp.
But these people aren't hiding that well, at least not for now.
Huan Yue then called to the palace maid, "Change your clothes."
A group of people got up and helped her change her clothes.
Some do other things too.
Huan Yue was surrounded by people from the Eastern Palace, and no longer had the maids who had accompanied him from the Pei family.
They were all controlled by Qi Shi and Yu Zhu, and had no respect for their masters, even at times like this.
Anyone with common sense could see it. Therefore, they were extremely suspicious of the Pei family.
The once-prosperous Jianchang Marquis's household was reportedly overjoyed that a Crown Princess would emerge from their declining estate. Who could have imagined the truth would be so far?
In the end, it was just that the master accidentally hit Qi Shi. It's nothing serious at all.
Qi's face was so swollen; perhaps she really was too delicate.
Huan Yue was wearing a pure white undergarment.
The palace maid noticed that she was very fair-skinned and was holding a nightgown to put on her.
Huan Yue was extremely satisfied with their service. Although the Pei family had trained her well, the key was that they didn't put their hearts into it.
Not everyone in the Pei family knew about it, but Qi Shi and Yu Zhu certainly did.
Furthermore, the Pei family's attitude towards the fake heiress has always been strange, leading to various speculations among the Pei family members.
Huan Yue was no longer at the Pei residence, and politely told the palace maid, "Put on your everyday clothes."
The palace maid was surprised. Nevertheless, she brought over a red set.
Although it's a casual outfit, it's still very elegant and would look amazing on a bride.
The palace maids were skillful and quickly styled the Crown Princess's hair, then put on a rather large golden phoenix hairpin.
Crown Prince Xie Zhou returned to the inner palace and saw Lady Pei emerge from behind a lattice door.
She was much simpler this way, but it accentuated her scholarly air and her vaguely pale and haggard appearance.
Xie Zhou frowned. So much time had passed that he couldn't remember what she looked like when she first entered the Eastern Palace, nor could he remember when she died, since he was busy with his ascension to the throne at that time. Lady Dong and Lady Cui were still trying to cause trouble, and Lady Chang was making him worry and exert himself.
However, she looks worthy of her name now.
However, Xie Zhou did not think she was particularly talented, nor did he think she was exceptionally beautiful.
He was not a lustful man; Pei was perhaps just a little better than the average person.
Huan Yue meets a scoundrel.
He's changed his clothes too; as expected of the male lead, he looks incredibly imposing in that purple robe.
He's currently portraying himself as someone who's keeping a low profile, but he's not doing it in front of outsiders, is he?
Perhaps it's because today is special? Huan Yue thought to himself, no one who has a white moonlight would feel comfortable if they couldn't marry their white moonlight.
