It's almost time to eat, Jing Wei, come over here.
Huan Yue saw that she looked disheveled, as if she had been chased by a dog.
As the palace maids helped her tidy up, Jing Wei complained, "Give my family back two hundred thousand taels of silver! My father is dumbfounded!"
Huan Yue was surprised: "Was the Jing family ever wealthy in the past?"
Wang was amused.
Yan Boxuan laughed foolishly.
Wang held her granddaughter. The child was a good child; to put it bluntly, if she was raised properly, she could still be sold for a high price.
Although Lady Cui is not a good person, Princess Yongmu, Prince Zheng, and Prince Yan are all decent men. As long as she doesn't go too far and cause trouble, she will still give her some face. But if she still wants to interfere in the marriage of Prince Zheng and Prince Yan, she will only be humiliating herself.
Besides, is the Yan family really that much worse than the Cui family? The Yan family has produced two Grand Secretaries, which the Cui family might not be able to match.
But the Cui family dared to make their presence felt in the Yan family's territory. After all, the Yan family's Grand Secretary was now gone.
Jing Wei was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "All of them combined are still not as good as Your Majesty!"
Madam Wang chimed in, "Your Majesty, can you add them all up?"
After tidying up, Jing Wei hurried over to greet her elders.
Wang was very polite.
Well-dwelling and magnificent.
Di Baose came over to join in the fun.
After listening to the palace maid finish speaking to her, Di Baose was shocked: "Two hundred thousand taels?"
Although Lady Wang was a generation younger than these women, sometimes even the youngest Crown Princess had to keep them company, so it was fine.
Jing Wei laughed and said, "I counted that neither the eighth nor the ninth generation ancestors were wealthy. It's kind of them to remember this."
A palace maid serves tea.
Jing Wei first drank some tea and ate something: "My house is a mess. Didn't they used to say that having a three-courtyard house was considered wealthy? They're even planning to send me a seven-courtyard house." She took a sip of tea and emphasized, "Send me one."
Lady Wang also drank tea, thinking to herself that it was a gift for the future emperor's brother-in-law.
Jing Wei finished eating, but hadn't yet exhaled: "They sent me beauties, and several young ladies were pulling me and calling me 'sister.'"
Huan Yue asked, "Isn't it quite a stretch?"
Jing Wei nodded: "Yes. Her status is much higher than mine, and she's older than me. I don't even want to acknowledge her."
Yan Fufu blinked.
Wang nodded. That's just how people are.
That family's property was raided, but they didn't learn their lesson and still wanted to cause trouble for the Chang family.
Even if you bring trouble to the Jing family, it won't work. Anyone with a brain knows that the silver is too hot to handle. How stupid would you have to be to accept it?
That wasn't just desperation; it was a desperate, chaotic rush. Wang felt there was more to come.
What angered Jing Wei the most was: "My daughter calls me 'sister,' and her mother calls my mother 'sister.'"
Di Baose almost spat out her tea!
Jing Wei, unafraid of Yan Fufu's presence, continued to complain: "That concubine is very beautiful, much better than my mother. My mother was unhappy and said that she called her by the wrong name; she used to call me 'sister,' but she turned around and called my mother 'sister', and she did it quite smoothly."
Even Wang was disgusted: "How despicable!"
Di Baose asked curiously, "How did they manage to move the silver out of the house after it was confiscated?"
Wang said, "We can't keep up with copying so many at once."
Di Baose suddenly realized, and stopped talking about the Fu family: "Seizing the Lan family's property will also take some effort."
Madam Wang nodded: "Didn't the Lan family say they still have quite a few in Mingzhou?"
Di Baose laughed and said, "Both Consort Lan and Consort Lu have 128 loads of dowry. His Highness is so anxious that he is making up for the Empress's dowry."
Wang was speechless, but said, "If the Pei family hadn't taken it, there would definitely have been much more."
The Pei family withheld half of the dowry; if they hadn't, and had prepared the dowry properly, it would have been a magnificent procession stretching for miles. However, the Pei family lacked the financial strength to do so.
Huan Yue said, "It's good that they deducted it, otherwise they'll be even more concerned about what I owe them."
Jing Wei said, "What do you owe? Did we give them less than they deserved? Wouldn't that just be because we're being unreasonable?"
I'm not going to say anything more.
Guo Bing came over, and we all went to Liubei Palace for dinner.
It's not that Qing'e Palace lacks a place to eat, it's that they want to use Liubei Palace.
The eunuch came over with four people and reported to the Empress: "These were sent by Consort Cui to serve your esteemed County Princess and Yan Boxuan."
Huan Yue asked curiously, "Does Consort Cui have other people?"
Yan Fufu was stunned.
Huan Yue instructed, "Take this and tell the Emperor. After all, he is the grandson of the Yan family and the maternal grandson of the royal family."
The eunuch accepted the order. It's rather strange that Consort Cui could command four people. The palace was only investigated yesterday; Consort Cui is quite audacious.
The palace maid quickly knelt down.
Di Baose roared, "Drag him away!"
A group of people quickly dragged the group away. This was a trivial matter that shouldn't have bothered the sage, but it wasn't exactly a trivial matter either.
Huan Yue asked Yan Fufu, "Do you want to see your maternal grandmother?"
Yan Fufu said, "My maternal grandmother's surname should be Di."
Unlike other families, the royal family doesn't usually recognize the maternal family of the legal wife, but that's not entirely wrong. Especially since Consort Cui's status isn't quite right.
Yan Fufu and Cui Liangren had feelings for each other, but they weren't actually very good. For example, there was the matter of the concubine.
Everyone took their seats in the Liubei Hall.
Yan Boxuan sat next to his aunt, extremely satisfied.
Wang asked, "Don't you want your grandmother anymore?"
Yan Boxuan chuckled, "Baby doesn't understand."
Huan Yue scolded, "You're a big baby now."
Yan Boxuan blinked, "Even a big baby is still a baby."
Huan Yue propped his chin on his hand: "Who isn't a baby at heart? You're a man, so take care of me."
Yan Boxuan blinked, his enthusiasm kicking in!
Wang thought to herself, "This silly boy is doing alright in the Eastern Palace. The Cui family can't control him, and neither can Cui Shi. I wonder what misfortune Cui Shi will face today?"
Jing Wei was also cheerful, and said to the Empress, "If Baishi Village is turned into a paradise, I won't want to come back."
Huan Yue asked, "You've gone to the Chang family, do you still want to come back?"
Di Baose laughed loudly.
Jing Wei replied crisply, "My seven-courtyard mansion! Even Princess Yongmu's residence doesn't have seven courtyards!"
Huan Yue asked, "Do you know the consequences of overstepping the bounds?"
Jing Wei didn't care: "Anyway, I didn't want it. Baishi Village is still the best."
Di Baose said, "You're shameless."
Jing Wei said, "Compared to others, I'm very concerned about my reputation. I'm not the best, but I'm not the worst either."
Princess Yongmu smiled and shook her head.
Di Baose said seriously, "You can't compete with others in shamelessness."
Jing Wei sighed, "There's nothing we can do. Shamelessness knows no bounds." She added, "By the way, someone else told me that Princess Huayang and Princess Yongjia are both the Emperor's own flesh and blood, and that kinship should not be treated lightly. If Your Majesty doesn't quickly remedy this, it will be very dangerous if the Emperor remembers it one day, even if he doesn't say anything."
Di Baose said, "Your Highness's friendship with Yan Boxuan, could it be that you're trying to curry favor with Cui Jin?"
Jing Wei said, "Definitely."
Huan Yue ate crabs.
Yan Boxuan cried out, "I want to eat!"
Huan Yue asked, "General Heng Hai, will you go to the sea to catch crabs in the future?"
Yan Boxuan nodded, thinking that the future was a matter for the future.
Huan Yue asked, "Then I'll flatter you, so that if your maternal grandfather gets upset, we can go sailing on the sea?"
Yan Boxuan threw himself into her arms and giggled foolishly.
Huan Yue carefully avoided poking him, saying, "The Great General isn't like that!"
Aww!
Yan Boxuan ran a lap around the Liubei Palace to show everyone the might of a great general!
Yan Fufu said, "General Crab!"
Yan Boxuan ran to his sister, looked at the tofu on her plate, and shouted, "General Tofu!"
Yan Fufu is about to burst! What the hell is this "Tofu General"?
