The scene at Linde Hall looked quite chaotic.
A group of people reciting poetry and painting had to give way.
A group of people who wanted to kill Pei Huanyue are still at war.
Princess Jinxi cried out in anguish, "Now, only Old Madam Li remains in the Pei family."
The Emperor decreed: "Princess Jinxi is demoted to a commoner, and you are permitted to serve Lady Li."
Princess Jinxi was dumbfounded. Why was she being demoted?
Even the Prince of Dai's residence hesitated; this plea for leniency might cause trouble. Xie Yu's attitude was too forceful.
There's more important business to attend to these days: "Qing'e's salary has been increased to ten thousand taels."
Huan Yue thanked the emperor excitedly! Getting a raise instead of a promotion is a good thing!
Seeing that Di Baose was looking on longingly, the emperor decided to grant her a favor: "Di Liangdi and Guo Liangdi have worked hard to assist Qing'e, so their salaries will be increased to one thousand taels."
Di Baose and Guo Bing thanked her!
The concubine was originally entitled to six hundred taels of silver, and neither of them cared about the extra four hundred taels, but it was an imperial favor.
Today, Qing'e is asked, "Has Shan Yuan found someone?"
Huan Yue replied, "I favor Consort Gong."
He nodded in agreement.
Huan Yue asked, "How about Guo Liangdi as the other one?"
Guo Bing was taken aback, then nodded. It was nothing. It was good to get out and about. She could travel to more places in the future.
To put it bluntly, the Charity Department will essentially be out there handing out money; they should be trying to be well-liked. Even if they don't give much, they'll be giving it to the elderly, the infirm, the disabled, or the poor. Giving money is always easier than asking for it, right?
The Emperor decreed: "Guo shall be granted the title of Shan Yuan."
Guo Bing expressed her gratitude.
Many people started to have their own ideas.
Shan Yuan is settled; four Shan Shi, each a sixth-rank official, is quite an achievement. Especially since they go out frequently, it's a way to make a living.
It wasn't said that you had to choose the Crown Prince; even if you did, you could still squeeze into the Crown Prince's palace.
If Lady Huan were to pull out ten thousand taels of silver at once, she could probably pocket a few hundred taels herself.
Isn't disaster relief and river embankment repair all done the same way?
There's probably more to this than meets the eye. In short, it's a golden opportunity.
Many people don't read this.
The Grand Princess of Chu has arrived.
Huan Yue watched her swaying unsteadily, wondering when she would die.
The Grand Princess was nearly driven mad by her and became even more stern: "What you should be concerned about now is having offspring."
Huan Yue disagreed: "Giving birth is easy, but raising a child is difficult. Does the Grand Princess even know how to raise a child?"
Di Baose bluntly replied, "You can tell by looking at the animals she raises. Ask someone else about this."
Huan Yue said, "Tell me, you didn't learn a single skill from your maternal grandmother?"
Di Baose jumped up and down: "How can I learn without children?"
Huan Yue remained calm: "Trying to cram at the last minute? You should start learning. Learn all of your grandmother's skills, since your aunt has already learned them anyway."
Di Baose nodded: "Okay."
Huan Yue said, "The children of the Crown Prince are the same as other children, yet different. The children of the royal family must know how the royal family came to be. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. They must know how to swim so as not to drown."
Di Baose nodded: "Even the best swimmers drown, so those who try to fool the common people will also drown, right?"
Huan Yue patted her head: "You've finally figured it out."
The old ancestor remarked, "Qing'e's idea is quite good."
Huan Yue said shyly, "I was just thinking about it. It's a pity that the Empress Dowager isn't here, otherwise she could teach me. Don't keep your grandmother's skills to yourself."
The old ancestor laughed and said, "I didn't teach you well."
Huan Yue said, "If our ancestors do things this way, it will be difficult for others to handle them."
Today, people would rebuke: "You dare to criticize our ancestors!"
Princess Changning was also bold, asking her second sister-in-law, "Is this what you mean by needs? Some people only seek wealth and status, while others seek to be upright and honorable?"
Consort Zhu, standing behind, asked, "What are your needs?"
Huan Yue said, "It's just my wild guess. For example, disaster victims only ask for a bite to eat, and they don't even dare to think about eating more. Many people are like this, so many people only want to be full and warm."
It instantly touched the hearts of many people.
Although some people don't care.
Huan Yue didn't care either; she was really talking nonsense: "So the basic need is to have enough to eat and warm food. When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they are well-fed and clothed, they know honor and shame. In other words, after being well-fed and warm, people don't think about bathing in silver, but rather live like human beings. The barbarians we despise are uncivilized and don't know etiquette, although that may not be true."
King Shen listened attentively and said, "That makes sense."
Huan Yue laughed and said, "It's about acting like a human being and a dog. What does it mean to be a human being? The obvious contrast is living like a dog. You get called a lowly commoner. So living like a human being means being an upright person with respect. I think even a servant is a human being, a human life, and deserves respect."
King Shen nodded: "Women are people too."
Huan Yue said, "People will do things that are human, such as pursuing beauty, skilled craftsmen, gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, and being pretentious. It is a pursuit from the body to the spirit."
Xie Jian nodded, understanding much better now.
Huan Yue said: "There are many spiritual needs, such as starving to death is a small matter but losing one's integrity is a big matter, such as making achievements and establishing a career, such as being loyal to the emperor and loving the people. This loyalty is not only to the present, but to the court, which represents 'righteousness'! Love the people like your own children, speak out for the people, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for all people, continue the lost learning of the past sages, and create peace for all generations."
Cai Dexiang felt a deep sense of respect!
Princess Guangning whispered, "This is the highest pursuit. Composing poems and painting are also pursuits."
Di Baose nodded: "Poets and calligraphers are both spiritual figures."
Huan Yue said, "Spiritual needs should not be suppressed, nor should they be too extravagant; material needs should be met, and we should first set a small goal: to have enough to eat and wear, and to live and work in peace and contentment."
Xie Zhou said, "May the country be prosperous and the people at peace!"
Today, we say, "Abundant resources and prosperous people!"
Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!
The King of Wu felt that saying it was almost the same as not saying it, but he also knew that saying it was the same as saying it.
Wen Zhongqing thought it made a lot of sense.
Doing academic research isn't about suddenly producing something out of nowhere.
As Qing'e Palace said before, by summarizing and extending many things that we take for granted, we can take a big step forward.
Wen Yuan said to his grandfather, "Rewards are given in this way. Poor people will work hard as long as they are fed."
Feed Old Yang? He wants you dead. His ambition might be the throne.
Prince Huayuan stood up and said, "Qing'e Palace will donate 10,000 taels of silver, but Baishi Village will receive 20,000 taels."
Huan Yue looked at him and said, "Come out."
Today it's called: "Come out."
Prince Huayuan had no choice but to come out.
Those who were reciting poetry and painting had to make way.
The Prince of Huayuan had a different kind of presence.
Because the crown prince's attire was similar to that of other princes, he didn't have an advantage.
The Crown Prince and the Prince of Huayuan share the same grandfather.
Even though Prince Huayuan had been held and pampered by his grandfather, he was very confident.
It's not hard to see through Qing'e Palace's attempt to use charity to gain fame and reputation.
Why didn't Prince Huayuan flatter the emperor? Because it wasn't worth it.
He was granted the title of king at a very young age; he must have had a lot of confidence.
Everyone who looked at Prince Huayuan knew there was another reason.
The Princess Consort of Huayuan County was surnamed Yang.
Leaving aside Old Yang, let's talk about how when the Prince of Huayuan had a legitimate son, the Qing'e Palace sent him a sapling.
Later, there were more twists and turns with the sapling, all stemming from past grievances.
