After finishing her meal, Wang didn't rush back.
Everyone returned to the Qing'e Palace to drink tea.
The Qing'e Palace is solemn, but it's not impossible for people to feel more at ease.
This hall is so big, you can take a nap if you want.
Yan Boxuan is still young and a little sleepy.
Princess Yongmu held him and tried to comfort him, but the little guy still wanted his aunt to comfort him. However, his aunt's gentleness could keep him in check.
Huan Yue looked at Di Baose and wondered if she was going to learn how to raise a child.
Di Baose blinked. "Would the Crown Prince adopt a few children?"
This practice does exist. According to patriarchal tradition, adoptions are made within the Crown Prince's household, referring to formal adoption. Of course, there's no rush now.
Huan Yue told Yan Fufu to go and rest too, saying that children grow faster if they sleep more.
Wang went to take a look; Chenghua Palace was quite well tidied up. It's not like Cui Jin is the only one who can take care of children; even if she didn't want to, the Yan family's children wouldn't become orphans.
Lady Wang returned to the Qing'e Palace.
Just then, a palace attendant came to deliver a message: "The people of Consort Cui have all been dealt with, as have those of Consort Dong."
Huan Yue and Wang Shi said, "The friendship between these two people, which has lasted for more than 20 years, is also quite special."
Wang sat down without saying a word. Cui and Dong, on the other hand, found it very strange.
The eunuch said, "The Emperor has decreed that the property of more than a dozen households be confiscated."
Jing Wei was trembling. Would more people go to her house?
Di Baose laughed and said, "Just wait at your doorstep. It's like fishing; the fish that slip through the net will walk right back in."
Jing Wei said, "Changhe County is a bit far away, otherwise everyone would jump into the undug pond."
They're just taking advantage of her poverty. However, if the Cui family were as wealthy, many people would still come knocking on their door seeking favors.
Many women dreamed of becoming concubines in the Cui family. They were sent to the Cui family, fair-skinned and delicate, hoping to fetch a good price.
Lady Wang left to deal with Yan Luan's beauties.
That seductive and alluring look could easily corrupt a man.
I don't expect everyone to have good self-control, especially since these things are too chaotic.
As dusk approached, Xie Zhou came over and saw that Qing'e Palace was quite lively. Yan Boxuan was about to climb onto the roof and remove the tiles.
"Uncle!" Yan Boxuan rushed over and hugged his leg.
This made a group of beauties jealous! Tears streamed down Wang Chuyuan's face.
Xie Zhou carried Yan Boxuan onto the stage, where he and his wife squeezed onto the throne.
Yan Boxuan happily climbed into his aunt's arms.
Xie Zhou was about to slap his little bottom; this silly boy was just a nuisance if he stayed in the palace.
Princess Yongmu shouldn't have come at a time like this; it's just that the silly boy can't be controlled.
Di Baose holding Yan Fufu wasn't her problem; it was these people who came over wanting to see Gong Shanyuan, right?
Xie Zhou frowned: "What are you all doing here?"
Wang Chuyuan knelt down: "This concubine sobs..."
Xie Zhou roared in fury: "Get out!"
A group of beauties ran away quickly. They didn't dare delay, even though their butts hurt.
Wang Chuyuan didn't want to leave. She believed that if she served the man just once, he would know how good she was.
The eunuchs brutally dragged her out and threw her into the Dark Fragrance Courtyard with great force.
With a splash, water flew up, startling Yang Chu'er and Yang Dong'e!
Seeing that Wang Chuyuan could only scream but not utter a sound, people thought she had fallen to her death.
The palace maids ignored Wang Chuyuan; she was so capable, she could climb up herself.
Caiwei, carrying food, quickly took a detour. She was worried that Chang Ziyu would act the same way when she was able to leave.
However, Caiwei only served and didn't care about anything else, so it was none of her business.
There are always women in the palace who are particularly difficult to manage; it's impossible to create a paradise like the Peach Blossom Spring.
Gong Yun returned quite early; although it was dark, it wasn't even 5 PM yet.
I came back, cleaned up, and had a hot dinner, but there was still a lot to do.
Reporting to the Empress was secondary; the main thing was to write down the names of each family.
Ju Zhaoxun came to help her. She looked quite beautiful under the lamplight.
Gong Yun smiled and said, "It must have been because someone helped us that it went quite smoothly."
Ju Zhaoxun said, "Anyway, we should just do what we're supposed to do."
Gong Yun nodded. The Empress wasn't interfering in other matters. Even if it seemed superficial, many things were actually obvious to the naked eye.
For example, whether someone is genuinely happy or not, it's impossible for everyone to be such a good actor.
For example, the type of housing you live in at Sheng'an Mansion is definitely different from other places.
For example, even if the matriarch of the Kong family, Madam Xu, lived in the countryside, her simple life would still be better than that of ordinary people.
If it were someone like Wu Chaoen, his servants would have separate courtyards in the countryside, with all sorts of elaborate details.
Among them are genuine ordinary people, and everyone is probably used to this situation in the capital.
But one should not get used to poverty. Nor should one resort to crooked and evil ways because of poverty.
Gong Yun has just started, no rush.
Cheng'en Hall.
Yan Boxuan is playing here, full of energy!
Yan Fufu had no choice but to accompany him, otherwise her brat would have gone to play with his uncle and might have gotten a beating.
Boys are thick-skinned, and Yan Boxuan had no concept of being beaten.
Princess Yongmu pulled Yan Boxuan aside and asked, "Aren't you coming with me?"
No!
Princess Yongmu asked, "Do you hang the cloth bag at night?"
A hanging bag is an upgraded version of sleeping in a pigsty. Or it's usually used to amuse children when guests come over and there's nowhere else for them to sleep.
Yan Boxuan blinked, but the baby didn't understand.
Princess Yongmu was not paying attention when she saw the boy sneak into Qing'e's bedroom and try to climb onto the bed with his little bottom sticking out.
Huan Yue was delighted. Such a large house wouldn't lack room for him to sleep.
Yan Boxuan turned around, overjoyed!
Xie Zhou pulled him out.
Yan Boxuan clung to his uncle, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Xie Zhou looked and saw that the boy had actually fallen asleep. Perfect timing, Yong Mu could take him away.
The palace maid carried Yan Fufu back to Chenghua Palace, their seats side by side.
It's perfectly fine for two children to live in Chenghua Palace. Princess Yongmu has moved some of her belongings out.
Cheng'en Hall.
Xie Zhou held his wife in his arms.
Huan Yue saw that he was bruised and swollen, and wondered if he would be alright after wandering around all day.
Xie Zhou dared not utter a sound. He had said that he had caused the accident himself, and those people had automatically misunderstood. He absolutely could not say that the Crown Princess was unvirtuous.
Xie Zhou felt that since his wife hadn't caused him any serious problems, his father didn't care at all.
It's a pity he was never beaten by his father when he was a child. He was very well-behaved, much better than Yan Boxuan.
Huan Yue asked, "How is Sheng'an now?"
Xie Zhele: "Great!"
There were too many questions to ask, so Huan Yue asked, "How is the Jing family?"
Xie Zhou said, "Jing Que asked them for IOUs. They do have IOUs, but they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. We'll see what they're like when they're sent to the yamen."
Huan Yueyue.
The IOU should theoretically be with the Jing family; those who repay the money should take the IOU, or they should issue a receipt upon receiving the money. But since the Jing family insists on proof of the debt, they can fabricate it, but a fabrication is a fabrication. To insist on finding the IOU at the Jing family's house is even more absurd.
However, Huan Yue asked, "How much is two hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Xie Zhou laughed and said, "I heard there are quite a lot. There's gold, all sorts of treasures, and even treasures worth a hundred taels of silver being given to the Jing family as payment for a debt of ten taels. There are many different kinds."
Huan Yue said regretfully, "I couldn't see it with my own eyes."
Xie Zhou kissed her: "There's nothing to see. They think they can be let off the hook, so they're acting all arrogant. They'll bring Jing Que down in the blink of an eye."
Huan Yue said, "A cornered dog will jump over the wall?"
Xie Zhou is so cold, that's the vibe he has!
Huan Yue thought the beauty was about to start whining again, but some of her was just putting on an act, while the scoundrel was putting on a high-class act.
