Inside the Linde Hall, everyone was watching Cui Shi make a fool of himself.
Judging from their expressions, they actually want to use Han Oumo? There's no way they'd even consider working with King Zheng!
How handsome is King Zheng? Han Oumo is so strange. Lady Cui clearly doesn't want King Zheng to be good at all.
The Cui family must have a grudge against the King of Zheng, right? They've caused such a huge uproar, making the King of Zheng lose face. This time, the humiliation is even more complete.
Even Princess Yongmu went.
Some may not have seen it clearly, but many others have either realized or understood the dangers of going to sea. Yet, the principles of Yongmu Gong remain unwavering.
Consort Cui was furious: "Get out of my way, this is none of your business!"
Consort Cui coaxed the Emperor, saying, "If Miss Han doesn't go, then the Fourth Prince is not allowed to go either."
The Emperor has reached his limit: "Cui is demoted to the rank of Zhaoyuan!"
Everyone was stunned!
The Imperial Concubine was just demoted today, and now she's been demoted to Zhaoyuan?
Compared to Empress Dong's demotion to the rank of "Beauty," this was a real demotion. Considering that Lady Cui had two sons, it wouldn't be appropriate to demote her further.
Empress Dong pleaded, "Sister Cui has also served His Majesty for many years."
Cui and Zhaoyuan screamed, "Si Lang, you're not allowed to go!"
Cui Zhaofu was furious and quickly pleaded, "Your Majesty is concerned about Prince Zheng."
Princess Yongmu asked, "Does Lord Cui think that concern gives him the right to interfere at will? This concerns the court, and my father has already made a decree. Lady Zhaoyuan is a woman, and Lord Cui, are you perhaps also a woman?"
Cui Zhaofu was dumbfounded by the princess's question.
Princess Huayang rushed over and berated Princess Yongmu: "You heartless wretch! Who corrupted you!"
Princess Yongmu was more beautiful and gentler than Princess Huayang: "I am not as good as Princess Huayang, who always has to bring up someone else when she talks about something. I am a princess of the Great Zhao, and I have never wronged anyone. However, I have enjoyed wealth and honor since childhood, and I also want to do my part."
Princess Huayang slapped her.
Cui rushed to King Zheng and beat him.
Neither Princess Yongmu nor King Zheng fought back.
The audience watched the play and saw that Lady Cui and Princess Huayang were a pair of madmen.
The emperor, his face grim, issued an edict: "Since you enjoy beating so much, Cui shall slap Huayang thirty times, or else have him flogged fifty times! Huayang is so filial, you see for yourself!"
The Cui family and Princess Huayang stopped fighting. They weren't afraid, since the Cui family had come.
But in front of a saint, I felt inexplicably afraid.
Princess Huayang ran over to Huan Yue and asked, "Was it you?"
He suddenly flipped the table!
Huan Yue pressed one hand on the table and slapped Princess Huayang away.
Huan Yue stepped down from the stage and slapped Cui Zhaofu across the face. Who else?
Princess Yongmu's condition wasn't that serious, but looking at Qing'e, it was like she had taken a shortcut from hell.
The men and women of the Cui family were all stunned by the beating.
Huan Yue slapped Cui Zhaofu again and asked, "Do you know why? Tell me yourself, how much land does the Cui family own? How much silver do they squander every year? How many people can they support? Let alone sweet potatoes, there aren't even enough rats for you to eat! I can't control your vast fertile land, but you shouldn't be so ambitious and always trying to target Prince Zheng and the princess."
Cui Zhaofu's old face was particularly gloomy after being slapped by Huan Yue, but he remained restrained.
The ladies and young women of the Cui family were furious!
Huan Yue asked, "Go to sea? Do you dare? If you dare, then follow the princess!"
Cui shouted, "Unless I'm dead!"
Huan Yue slapped her: "Who do you think cares about you? The sage once cared about you, but you have disappointed him."
A group of people knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty! Qing'e Palace has gone too far!"
The sage scolded the green moth: "Aren't you having a headache?"
Huan Yue and Xi Zi clutched their hearts and returned to their seats.
I'll demonstrate this chest tightness and increasing chest pain right here for everyone.
The old ancestor frowned, unable to see clearly.
The Crown Princess of Song whispered reassured her, "It's alright. It's just strangely beautiful."
The princess said, "She is pitiful, but the sage is giving her a headache."
Why change locations if you don't have a headache? There are so many different ideas.
The old ancestor no longer cared about her.
Princess Huayang crawled over and went to cry to the ancestor.
Our ancestors had a headache. A real headache.
The emperor was furious: "You dare to cause trouble for our ancestors? Drag him away!"
A group of people were calling for Qing'e Palace in front of the Emperor, but Princess Huayang left first.
Huan Yue sat there without changing his expression. He was a bit pale, but not ugly. On the contrary, he looked pitiful.
She's a pro at faking illness, and since she's good-looking now, looking sickly isn't bad luck.
The Cui family, and a group of others, got more and more carried away with their shouts.
The guards are blocking the way, lest they suddenly rush in front of the sage.
Princess Yongmu, Prince Zheng, Xie Zhu, and the others knelt carefully to one side, right in front of the Crown Prince.
Xie Zhou didn't want to speak to the Cui family, but it was fine as long as they had exhausted the Emperor's patience. As long as it didn't affect his younger brothers.
Xie Zhou woke Princess Yongmu and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Princess Yongmu, gentle and beautiful, said, "I've made up my mind."
Xie Zhou said, "Then let's prepare carefully again, just in case."
In fact, everyone knows that Princess Yongmu left to clear her mind.
What Cui was most concerned about was the King of Zheng, or perhaps not, but he just wanted to cause this trouble.
Aww!
Then another disturbance broke out.
The eldest princess of Chu was about to cause a huge uproar, almost stealing the spotlight from everyone else.
After all that fuss for nothing, or perhaps the Grand Princess of Chu and Bai Shenai were making such a scene that they managed to steal the spotlight.
Everyone stopped to watch the Grand Princess of Chu cause trouble.
"Mother! Grandmother! I'm going to die!"
"My son! Don't frighten your grandmother!"
"Awooooo!"
"Waaaaah!"
Huan Yue was busy with something, one hand supporting his head and the other clutching his heart.
The palace maids and eunuchs at the banquet were also very busy. After the meal, some wanted to drink wine, so they had to be given some. Otherwise, they could be served fruit and snacks and enjoy the moon inside the palace. In any case, those who wanted to enjoy the moon could go outside, as the area in front of the palace was spacious and convenient.
Behind the main hall is the East Garden, which is very beautiful.
Huan Yue's banquet was filled with plenty of fruit and eight kinds of mooncakes.
Although she has a large appetite, it doesn't mean she'll eat everything. However, there are palace maids.
Huan Yue told the maid to hide in the back and eat something first, since he was tired after all that work.
The young maid was quite sensible; she just wanted a little something. She could eat whatever she wanted back home anyway.
The mooncakes made in the palace are also very delicious.
Xiuyun whispered from the side, "This is a little different from last year. They say it was based on the Empress's method."
Consort Zhu sat behind the curtain, eating, drinking, and watching the play. She watched as Consort Cui had transformed her into a Zhaoyuan (a high-ranking concubine).
Consort Shu is doing quite well, but Consort Zhao is not. The Emperor hasn't ordered her to move out of Kunyu Palace yet.
However, if Cui puts in more effort, then Kunyu Palace will no longer be hers.
Zhu Shi didn't care; she even planned to grow some vegetables in Zhaoyang Palace.
It's not much trouble, right? Just plant a little bit, and make one or two yourself every now and then. It's like something a saint would like.
The sage was actually quite good, but he was too good to the Cui family.
By the way, Madam Zhu told the female official, "Go and ask Wulang if he wants to go? He's not young anymore, he should go out and broaden his horizons."
The female official sighed and said in a low voice, "Wouldn't this make (Cui Shi) lose face?"
Zhu was resolute: "It's always the same."
She'd be better off sending her son away as soon as possible rather than sitting in this position. Didn't you see how supportive the Crown Prince and Crown Princess are?
With this merit, there will be no shortage of benefits in the future. If she really doesn't have that fate, Zhu felt there was no point in thinking about it.
The female official thought to herself, "The Grand Princess of Chu is still causing trouble."
