Huan Yue exercises in the morning, wearing very little clothing.
When Di Baose saw her, she rushed over and shouted, "My dress has a huge hole in it!"
Anger brought a sob to my voice!
Princess Yongmu immediately understood. That was something she had painstakingly made for herself, and someone had torn it up?
What audacity! I thought the Crown Prince was always well-behaved.
Princess Yongmu didn't think everyone in the Eastern Palace was well-behaved, but today, instead of Qing'e's dress, she targeted Di Baose, which was quite interesting.
It was very provocative, clearly aimed at the Di family, and even made Di Baose suspect Qing'e.
Di Baose looks beautiful in this too. If Qing'e is a little jealous, well, everyone has their own imagination.
Cuizhu took out a cloak for her master to wear first, and was stunned for a moment.
Huan Yue remained calm, because palace intrigue is full of all sorts of strange and wonderful things. A group of people are stuck in this place every day and year, and their imaginations run wild.
So she put on a cloak and asked Di Baose, "Who?"
The palace maids have already brought over a beautiful woman.
Sunny knelt to one side and reported, "Everyone was busy this morning. I noticed something was wrong with Annie, so I had someone keep an eye on her. Sure enough, they saw her sneak in and cut up Lady Di's dress."
Is this a case of catching someone red-handed?
Huan Yue looked at the beautiful woman being brought over, who was in the same group as Shan Ni, and his face was already slapped.
Di Baose jumped up, wanting to kick her again.
Anne knelt there with her head down, accepting the punishment.
Huan Yue first reassured Di Baose: "I've been too busy today. You can pick any four of my fabrics."
Di Baose retorted angrily, "Am I lacking material?"
Huan Yue coaxed, "We don't need any. We'll cut up a few extra bolts next time we wear one."
Di Baose seemed to remember something and stopped making a fuss for the time being. She wasn't that energetic after being busy all morning.
Huan Yue, full of energy, asked, "What relatives or lovers does she have?"
Annie shuddered.
The eunuch has already come to report: "She is from Qishui County. It seems that she has parents, two older brothers, and younger sisters. There is a Juan Ni in the inner palace who is from the same hometown as her. Yang Chun from the Shanggong Bureau is on good terms with her."
Huan Yue stared at Annie, and when she heard the name Yang Chun, she became extremely excited. That made sense: "Bring Yang Chun here."
Yes! Yu Yan led his men to capture the person immediately.
Anne lowered her head, trying to calm herself down, but her hair was all wet.
The wind was blowing her hair and clothes, which were a little messy, obviously caused by pulling.
Di Baose stared at her.
With so many people watching, the pressure is immense.
Annie was sweating profusely, her hands gripping tightly as she kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, "This servant was wrong, please forgive this servant, Your Majesty."
The palace maid sneered, "If admitting mistakes were enough, what would be the point of having the Ministry of Justice?"
A eunuch said in the crowd, "Today is busy."
Huan Yue coldly shouted, "Drag him out!"
The voice wasn't loud, but those around him could easily recognize it and immediately pushed the person out.
This eunuch was in his thirties and had an ordinary appearance. He wasn't from the Qing'e Palace. There were quite a few people who came over to observe, along with Di Baose.
The eunuch, kneeling before Consort Huan, was somewhat flustered: "This servant, this servant..."
Huan Yue said coldly, "Confess yourself, and I'll spare your dog's life!"
The eunuch looked up at her, disbelieving.
Yu Yan and his men were quick; they dragged a eunuch over and reported to the Empress, "This Yang Chun is so audacious; he seems to be waiting outside Xuanfu Gate."
Yang Chun, a particularly fierce young man in his early twenties, wasn't intimidated by Lady Huan either: "You dare!"
Huan Yue asked, "Who are his people?"
This kind of person certainly couldn't do it. The harem is rife with factionalism; there's definitely someone behind it all.
Yang Chun himself exclaimed, "My godfather is Eunuch Wu!"
Someone found out: "Wu Chaoen of Changqiu Palace once took two female officials from Changxin Palace as his wives, and the Empress Dowager could not stop him. He has a five-courtyard mansion in Anxingfang, which is probably no less impressive than the Jianchang Marquis's mansion."
Huan Yue ordered, "Bring Wu Chao'en here. If you can't persuade him, then go and request an imperial decree!"
yes!
The eunuchs were all excited!
Yu Yan saw that they had gone too far! Wu Chaoen wielded immense power in the harem; how could the Empress possibly afford to offend him now?
However, the Crown Prince's Palace was perhaps meant to have this momentum, and Yu Yan was going all out.
After all, with the Empress standing in front, she wouldn't push the servants out.
The group left Qing'e Palace, looking at each other in bewilderment, knowing that things had not been easy.
It could cost you your life.
However, once they had tricked Wu Chaoen into coming, it was no longer their concern how the Empress would deal with him.
We can even enjoy watching the spectacle, right? If the Empress really takes control of the harem, everyone will follow her, and then they'll have real power!
Although there is a sage protecting them now, those below actually know this once they step outside.
Not many people truly take the Empress seriously.
They knew better than anyone the waters of the harem.
On the platform in front of Chengen Hall.
The sunlight was quite bright.
Yang Chun looked at Huan Niangniang's face; it was a mocking expression.
Annie kowtowed repeatedly. She never expected things to turn out this way. No matter what Consort Huan did, she was going to die anyway.
Di Baose understood: "You want to harm me for your lover's sake?"
Annie kowtowed until her head bled, and she cried.
Di Baose sneered: "Does he care about you?"
Annie looked over.
Yang Chun looked at her with disgust: "What are you afraid of? Can't I protect you?"
Di Baose asked, "Don't you two want to flirt a little? After all, killing the two of you would be as easy as turning my hand."
Yang Chun yelled, "You dare!" He was actually scared, but he had to hold on. "I'm warning you, don't die without even knowing how you died."
Di Baose, no longer caring about the dress, put her hands on her hips and asked, "A bunch of lackeys, dare to kill me? Or the master behind Wu Chaoen? Or do you think you can turn the world upside down?"
Wouldn't the emperor hurry up and kill Wu Chaoen? Why keep a poisonous snake around to bite people?
Huan Yue went to the back hall to do his hair and makeup.
Wu Chaoen would probably be difficult to invite.
After Huan Yue finished dressing, he asked someone to prepare several old quilts.
Empress Huan was frugal, so everyone in the palace knew that she kept a lot of old clothes and quilts.
Most of the Qing'e Palace is new, but the East Palace, which has many old buildings, also has some old ones.
Some new ones were issued this year, and some older ones will be replaced gradually.
Xiuyun asked, "Where should breakfast be served?"
Huan Yue said, "Let's just go up ahead and watch the sunrise together. Let's keep it simple and not go through all that trouble."
Xiuyun understood.
It's just moving a table and a chair. Even if you move a little more, you'll get used to it and it won't be that much of a hassle.
It was sunrise viewing, not moon gazing, so Huan Yue was dressed simply and lightly.
The sun makes it warm and cozy.
Di Baose also tidied up and came over to freeload breakfast.
Guo Bing and Princess Yongmu were both seated.
Xie Zhu has disappeared somewhere. As long as he doesn't wander into certain places in the palace, there are still many places he can go.
Princess Yongmu didn't eat anything, she just took a steamed bun, drank a bowl of porridge, and had an egg, and that was it.
Guo Bing ate two steamed buns.
That whole table was for the Empress.
Wu Chaoen and his large entourage arrived, looking almost like an imperial carriage!
Wu Chaoen was also a fourth-rank official, and he had many people around him, especially in terms of his imposing presence!
Even someone like Di Baose is no match for the emperor, let alone other concubines.
Guo Bing, being the daughter of a military family, was even bolder. She watched coldly as Wu Chaoen's expression changed slightly when he saw Yang Chun, but then he was fine.
