Around Jixian Pavilion, chrysanthemums are in full bloom under the sunlight.
Inside Jixian Pavilion, everyone seemed quite interested in Miss Han.
Di Baose dared to say anything: "Not married or engaged by the age of twenty?"
If the engagement is broken off, wouldn't that look bad for King Zheng?
It's not easy for ordinary people to remarry after an engagement is broken off, let alone for someone as well-off as the Prince of Zheng.
If you're engaged and the man dies, it's still not a good thing to hear, even if he's not considered unlucky for his husband.
Di Baose said, "Didn't you say she was formidable? No matter what, she can't be dragged out until she's twenty. Even if Lady Lou forgets about her and suppresses her, can't she think of a way? Or is she like Consort Chang?"
Huan Yue smiled and nodded: "I have someone I like, and I'm waiting for that person."
Xie Zhou remained silent.
Di Baose said, "Perhaps she didn't like it, but she still got the chance."
But is this fair to King Zheng?
Di Baose glanced at Princess Yongmu: "Like He Yuzhi, or He Qiao?"
Princess Yongmu could tolerate it. This means that Miss Han was restless and might cuckold the Fourth Prince, which was quite important to Princess Yongmu.
Guo Bing coldly replied, "If it's something you can't say, you've probably already prepared an excuse."
Huan Yue nodded: "All the cover-ups have been done. But people leave a name behind, and geese leave a sound behind."
Huan Yue didn't see the twenty-year-old unmarried Miss Han in the book. After all, the main characters are the Crown Prince and his beloved. This is the real world, and real things are happening.
Xie Zhou didn't notice Miss Han in his previous life; due to his status and position, he was mainly concerned with the imperial court.
However, like Chen Zhi, even though she knew something, she still had to enter the palace as a slave, and her mind didn't become any smarter.
The reason this Ms. Han would appear is naturally because she wants this stage.
Whenever she comes, Xie Zhou takes control of the game.
A palace attendant rushed in to report: "The imperial decree is to thoroughly investigate Wu Chaoen. However, Consort Cui has caused a scene at the Zichen Palace."
Xie Zhou stood up and kissed his wife, saying, "I'll go take a look."
It wasn't to visit the Cui family, but rather to discuss Wu Chaoen's matter.
Xie Zhou couldn't interfere in matters concerning the inner palace, but he could still share the burden for his father.
No one asked him to stay.
Di Baose wondered, "Could it be that Consort Cui attacked me?"
Princess Yongmu and Guo Bing exchanged a glance, realizing they might actually do it.
Guo Bing said, "By using Wu Chaoen's people, whether it's to make the Empress fight against Wu Chaoen or to make her wary of him, she will suffer a loss."
Lady Shan nodded: "The Empress is very straightforward. Consort Di is also straightforward, so this matter is not difficult to investigate."
Once the investigation was completed, they naturally went to find Yang Chun, which in turn led to Wu Chaoen being implicated.
If Qing'e Palace were to swallow its anger, its momentum would be diminished.
Even if it's because I have something to do today, I have to hold back.
Shan said, "There will be a lot of plays at the banquet."
Di Baose sneered: "Is this starting ahead of schedule?"
When Sunny returned, she reported, "Annie said that Yang Chun had been kind to her."
Di Baose said, "So she betrayed the Lord?"
Huan Yue laughed and said, "You're not her master."
Di Baose snorted, "Right: 'She didn't die of fright?'"
Sunny laughed and said, "How could I bear to? As long as I stay in the East Palace, I'm quite safe."
Di Baose said, "Even a piece of clothing is not safe, let alone a person. Those servants are very bold. Even if they can't kill them, they can still frame someone else."
Huan Yue nodded, "That's pretty cool, so the demons and monsters in the palace might not be anyone in particular."
They were so careful and cautious that they dared not offend a single one.
There are also fools who live to the end without ever knowing what life is like inside the palace.
They'll either die young due to bad luck or be very fortunate.
Another eunuch came to report: "There's been a commotion at the Yongning Prince's residence. The Yongning Prince wants to take Pei Jinnu to a banquet, but the Princess Consort objected, so the Prince sent someone to ask her about it."
Huan Yue stood up and called to Di Baose, Guo Bing, and the others, indicating that he was no longer idle.
Guo Bing needs to go back and prepare properly. Although he is a member of the Eastern Palace, he also carries the label of the Prince of Xihe. He cannot disgrace his grandfather.
Xiao Lian didn't even bother mentioning the Yongning Prince's Mansion. Was this prince bullying the Crown Prince?
How could Pei Jinnu, a mere concubine, be qualified to enter the palace? Given her status as a sister of Consort Huan, she even wanted to enter the Eastern Palace, yet Prince Yongning didn't seem to mind.
Chaoyun carefully cleaned Qing'e Palace again.
I can't let anything happen here while I'm going to the banquet this afternoon. There are always people who dare to barge in.
Although Wu Chaoen did not break in, he dared to swagger around the palace with so many people.
The Qing'e Palace prioritizes self-preservation and guards its own territory.
While busy, the cat teased, "Why is He Jing staying in Sheng'an? Doesn't he know that Sheng'an has plenty of problems, but also plenty of punishments?"
Huan Yue was delighted.
The cat was pleased: "His age is just right."
Ji said, "It's worth it if it's for my grandson."
Cat nodded: "If he could get a manor by being flogged thirty times, he would want to be flogged three to five times a year."
Huan Yue burst into laughter.
Thinking about it carefully, there are actually quite a few like this. Anyway, they're fun.
The adorable little servant chimed in, "I want both."
The cat asked, "Do you think serving the Queen is bad?"
The young slave girl was bold: "Having a manor and a few maids to serve you, isn't that wonderful?"
Huan Yue encouraged him: "That's a good idea. Nobody is born with a lowly fate. Work hard, and you can retire on the estate in the future."
The cat said, "Has Your Majesty forgotten Chen Zhi?"
Hmm, Huan Yue felt that human nature was complex and difficult to judge.
So the cat smugly said, "Some people are just born mean."
Zichen Palace.
Xie Zhou sat to one side, busy reviewing memorials.
He did this job for more than ten years. His father probably thought he was a child prodigy and did a good job, so he generously approved many of the memorials.
After all, when something truly important happens, nothing can be decided with just a memorial to the throne.
If there were any truly important matters, Xie Zhou would not dare to conceal them, and all the Grand Secretaries would have to report them honestly.
Now that this matter has been handed over to the Crown Prince, Lady Cui is crying there, and he even wants to hand it over to the Emperor for execution in the autumn.
Therefore, Xie Zhou's comments were all correct.
Then the Emperor decreed: "The title of Consort Cui is demoted to the rank of Noble Consort Shu."
The eunuch shuddered. She'd been a favored concubine for twenty years, and this was just the beginning.
Xie Zhou remained calm and continued reviewing the memorials.
There are a few documents that require attention, which I will set aside for Your Majesty's perusal.
Cui was stunned. She was talking about the Qing'e Palace killing people indiscriminately, but Wu Chaoen was going on and on.
The eunuch entered the palace and reported: "A large number of items were found at Wu Chaoen's residence in Anxingfang. He has close ties with Qiu Mi. A group of young men were found who may be entering the palace. Another group of young women who were intercepted were also discovered."
The eunuch glanced at Lady Cui.
I'm watching her now. That's good.
Cui is quite ugly now.
The eunuch was not afraid of her and continued to report: "It is speculated that Wu Chaoen is a temporary palace. Although it is not over the bounds of regulations, he has many wives, concubines, children and grandchildren, and many people are obstructing him. It is suspected that there is a secret passage in Wu's residence."
Xie Zhou paused for a moment.
Qiu Mi is also known as Fifth Master Qiu. Since Wu Chaoen and Qiu Mi have a good relationship, it is natural that Wu Chaoen is also on good terms with the King of Wu.
Although he didn't consider himself the emperor, treating his own home as a temporary palace and having concubines serving him was pretty much the same as being in the palace.
The important thing is the secret passage.
The Emperor has issued an edict.
Xie Zhou continued reviewing memorials. Turning Wu Chaoen upside down wasn't a big deal.
