The rear hall and east side room of Qing'e Palace.
Huan Yue sat down to eat.
As the sun set, the room grew dark, and the lights were turned on.
With the window open, the evening breeze blows in, so there's no worry about the food getting cold.
Because we ate very little for dinner, there were only six dishes on the table, and the portions were small, really quite small.
Huan Yue didn't wait for that scoundrel; he was probably busy with something.
Men should be busy, but since a beautiful woman has come today, he can eat however he wants.
All the servants could be summoned to the Guangtian Palace. There was even a Mingfu Courtyard next to the Guangtian Palace, which was like a kitchen next to the Guangtian Palace, making it very convenient to get food.
Even the Crown Prince doesn't have to come to the back or pass through the Qing'e Gate.
After all, there are more people behind, which poses a certain danger.
Huan Yue suddenly thought, "If there's a tasting part of the meal, how can the eunuchs taste it too?"
If everyone does it this way, it probably won't seem strange, right? Apparently, there's a custom that people find virginity terrifying, so they need their own father to resolve it.
This would probably make most people's scalp tingle, right? But it's not easy for a biological father to fight demons and monsters.
Feelings often come from imagination, so if you say you have no feeling at that time, then you really have no feeling.
Some customs are really unacceptable.
But no matter how ignorant or what, if you actually encounter them and try to stop them from doing it, you'll probably end up fighting. Because you can't really explain their underlying thoughts.
There's a saying that goes, "Advising someone to be generous will get you struck by lightning."
Huan Yue felt he was generous enough, but to be so generous as to offer himself up would be disrespectful to his mother.
After dinner, let's go out and have some fun.
A gentle evening breeze blew by, and raindrops fell.
The stars in the sky jumped out, and ginkgo fruits fell from the trees.
The maidservant exclaimed, "When I woke up, the ground wasn't covered in frost, but in a layer of ginkgo nuts?"
Huan Yue said, "You still want a pile of silver?"
The little maid chuckled foolishly.
Huan Yue and Yu Yan said, "Those newcomers, if they have nothing else to do, come and pick up ginkgo nuts."
Yu Yan was overjoyed!
Harvesting ginkgo nuts is not easy.
The newly arrived palace maids were between thirteen and eighteen years old. Some were probably not suitable, but others were very suitable for doing manual labor.
It wasn't all done by palace maids, but picking things up from the ground was quite easy.
When Xie Zhou came over, many lights were lit up in the back hall, while there were fewer lights in the front hall because there was less activity.
Huan Yue glanced at him. "Aren't we going to find somewhere to get a late-night snack?"
Xie Zhou, holding his wife, was thinking of having a late-night snack?
Huan Yue was very virtuous: "Wang Chuyuan and Yu Anu are both good."
Xie Zhou gnawed at her; who would bother eating wild game when there are delicacies to be had?
Yu Yan avoided.
He was absolutely certain that the Empress was sincere, but men are probably all like that; if she said it was good, she wouldn't be.
A gust of cold wind woke Yu Yan up. He touched the cold sweat on his forehead. He must have been corrupted by the Empress. How dare he speak ill of His Highness in his heart?
Many people in Qing'e Palace have been corrupted by the Empress and are very disrespectful to His Highness.
After all, seeing the Empress beat the Prince every few days, even if one was outwardly respectful, one was still afraid inside. Otherwise, one wouldn't be sweating cold sweat.
Xie Zhou led his wife to the east side room.
The eunuch came to light the lamps and continue setting the table.
Huan Yue punched the dog of a man. He could eat anywhere he wanted, why did he need someone to accompany him?
A palace attendant came to report: "The dowry from the Lan and Lu families wishes to see Your Highness."
Xie Zhou instantly flew into a rage: "What dowry? Find a corner and make them kneel down."
An imperial eunuch was sent to convey His Highness's decree.
As the head chef served, he thought to himself, "The Lan family really knows how to act like local tyrants. They even dare to cause trouble in front of His Highness with their dowry."
Besides, once you're sent to the Eastern Palace, you're a concubine; where would you get a dowry? Do you think you can just walk into the Eastern Palace like anyone else?
Huan Yue didn't leave either; he just sat by the window, watching the stars and ginkgo nuts stewed together.
Xie Zhou had been busy all day, so he ate a proper meal with his wife by his side. The fish head stew with tofu was delicious.
A noise came in through the back door.
Xie Zhou frowned slightly, exuding an aura of imperial majesty.
Huan Yue turned to look at him. He truly lived up to his status as the male lead. Aside from his white moonlight, or perhaps meeting his true love later.
When Xie Zhou sees his wife, he will deal with those who want to cause her trouble.
Actually, the whole point of making trouble for his wife is to shake him, and shake Xie Zhao. So, that's the gist of it.
Several fierce maids and wives charged over.
Huan Yue sat by the window watching. "Isn't she more capable than Luo Yaohui's maids and wives? There's no shortage of capable people in this world."
Huan Yue suddenly had a wild idea and said to the dog of a man, "From now on, if these kinds of people are conscripted into the army, send them to the front lines and fight all the way to the enemy's palace."
Xie Zhou looked at his wife with shining eyes!
His wife is amazing!
There are quite a few women who can fight; those few are about to storm into the inner palace.
Before it was time for them to be exiled, Xie Zhou ordered: "Drag them away and give each of them eighty strokes of the cane."
This time they're serious; even the Crown Prince's guards have come.
Huan Yue sat by the window watching. The maid and wife were really something, fighting against the guards!
The guard tried to show mercy, but a maid suddenly drew her sword and tore off his face!
It's really something that a maid carries a knife with her. Although it looks like a small knife, or even if she were carrying scissors, she said she was going to see His Highness, so what is she planning to do with it?
Xie Zhou was furious when he heard the commotion outside hadn't ended!
Huan Yue was well aware of the influence of Master Fushan.
What is the relationship between Master Fushan and the Lan family?
But Fushan Zhenren's influence is so great that it seems like everyone sees an opportunity to bring down the Crown Princess.
Now that the Crown Prince's palace is about to fall, it's as if people's hearts have scattered. Even more demons and monsters are emerging.
With the help of an eunuch, a woman escaped to the window and shoved herself against Huan Yue's face.
Huan Yue kicked him.
It's bright enough outside.
A group of soldiers watched as the wife flew over and killed the eunuch.
The soldiers were terrified! The Queen was angry!
Before the empress even fell, the young man was so frightened that he drew his sword and slashed, killing several maids in the process.
The situation was finally brought under control.
Another eunuch rushed over, trying to reason with His Highness, but the scene he witnessed was terrifying!
Xie Zhou finished his meal, and the outside was mostly taken care of.
Di Baose came over, her pretty face frosty.
Huan Yue asked, "Didn't you eat well tonight?"
Di Baose stood outside the window and said, "The Lan family and the Lu family are really arrogant!"
Huan Yue said, "You accepted their dowry, yet you won't allow them to reason with you?"
Di Baose glared at her and argued loudly, "Do you think I want those junk? Aren't I helping them collect them? Are you suggesting we pile them up on the floor of Wenqi Courtyard?"
Di Baose's expression changed again as she gossiped with the Empress: "Do you know how many there are? A total of 128 loads!" she complained. "Anyone who didn't know would think she was marrying into the Eastern Palace as the Crown Prince's consort! And each load was incredibly sturdy. It's a pity they could only send 128 loads, otherwise they would have sent 366! A true ten-mile-long red bridal procession!"
Di Baose shoved the Empress in the face: "It's all your fault, you know?"
Huan Yue blinked, looking regretful.
Xie Zhou thought for a moment and said to his wife, "I'll bring you 366 tomorrow or the day after."
Di Baose retorted, "Hurry up, favor them, arrange a place for them, and then there will be room for those 128 palanquins. Maybe the Lan and Lu families will even send you another ten miles of red dowry!"
Di Baose and Huan Yue exchanged a glance. What a great idea!
