Xie Zhou came out after changing her clothes, and she looked beautiful!
Huan Yue also changed his clothes; his casual clothes, adorned with flowers, looked quite nice.
Xie Zhou held her hand and said, "My wife, give me another kiss."
"Your Majesty!" The baby is here!
Xie Zhou looked at his wretched nephew.
Yan Boxuan braked, looked up at his second uncle, and smiled obsequiously.
Xie Zhou picked him up and asked, "Do you want to study?"
Yan Boxuan nodded and read aloud! Look, Your Highness, read aloud with your aunt!
Xie Fufu followed behind, speechless. Her brat was definitely in for a rough time. But that was his own business; he had to walk his own path, even if he had to crawl. Her situation was similar.
A palace attendant came to report: "Luan Sheng didn't want to go to the countryside, so she found Cui Jin, and together they caused trouble at the Yan family's house."
Princess Yongmu said in a low voice, "How embarrassing!"
Xie Fufu nodded silently. Her mother had lost all sense of reason and was acting like a shrew.
Now she's not even as good as her aunt. That's how a woman should be; she must do her best.
The eunuch said, "Cui Jin is still trying to have a child with the Yan family."
Huan Yue nodded: "With her here, my hands are a little itchy."
Yan Boxuan held her hand and breathed heavily.
Huan Yue was amused by the boy, wondering who he resembled.
King Zheng ran over.
The back hall and dining area were very crowded.
Fortunately, we eat less at night; if it were lunchtime, we couldn't possibly set out a large table.
King Zheng wasn't embarrassed at all; he sat down next to his second brother and ate there.
Xie Zhou wouldn't have treated Si Lang this well in the past. But having been emperor for over a decade, he's much more mature and understands Si Lang's character better. In short, he's the patriarch.
King Zheng ignored him; his focus was on his second sister-in-law: "My third brother is getting married, and he insists I attend. It turns out the Cui and Dong families conspired together..."
Huan Yue asked, "Who is it this time?"
King Zheng said, "Princess Yicheng married into the Huanting Zhuang family, and sixty years have passed, and the Zhuang family has become very prosperous!"
Huan Yue suddenly had a wild idea: "What is the connection between Princess Yicheng and Zichan Mountain?"
King Zheng blinked; he really didn't know.
Xie Zhou frowned, very certain: "Yes!"
King Zheng's face darkened even further! Because he was favored by the emperor, he also knew of the royal army's defeat, so what was the Prince of Yicheng planning?
So, a group of people are trying to stir up trouble at Xie Liu's wedding? Is Xie Liu complaining that he's too comfortable being the Duke?
Xie Zhou was utterly disdainful!
That's why Xie Yu never had a chance.
Those people may have intended to coerce him, but he just endured it. Can he be said to be innocent?
Some of the Lan family children claim to be innocent, and they are indeed innocent. But didn't they obtain their luxurious lives through greed? Did they eat unclean things and then try to pretend to be pure?
Therefore, there is some logic to the practice of punishing relatives and friends, since most of the people associated with him have received various benefits.
Even the neighbors benefited. Don't they know that forming cliques is wrong?
These people must be dealt with together; that way, there will be far fewer people taking advantage of others.
Of course, those who try to gain small advantages or whose execution costs are too high must be dealt with if there are typical cases.
For example, those who stand up to spread rumors and try to confuse the truth, hoping to continue profiting from the chaos—if the impact becomes too great, they'll be dealt with!
Princess Yongmu said, "The Princess of Yicheng has not visited Sheng'an for many years."
King Zheng and his third sister said, "Actually, we are very close to Sheng'an and have never broken off relations. Huanting is about 800 li away from Zichan Mountain, which seems to be the next area of the Chan Sect."
Xie Zhou never imagined in his previous life that the Chan Sect was colluding with certain individuals to plot a rebellion.
Perhaps in a past life, the position of crown prince was unstable, and various factions were fighting fiercely, with some remaining uninvolved.
It's good that they've surfaced now; we can take care of them one by one.
Princess Yicheng's influence in Huanting is definitely deeper than that of the Lan family.
The Lan family's status cannot be compared to that of Princess Yicheng.
He almost caused trouble when he was young; he was much worse than Cui Jin.
Huan Yue said, "Who knows, I might suddenly declare myself king one day."
Princess Yongmu looked at her with curiosity, as if the woman really wanted to become a king or emperor?
But that's not entirely untrue. It's just that it's much harder for a woman to become empress than imagined, hence the many regrets.
King Zheng only cared about himself and couldn't afford to be taken advantage of.
Huan Yue said, "You stay by your father's side and see who dares to lay a hand on you?"
King Zheng nodded. His second sister-in-law was absolutely right! So what if he's timid and needs the Emperor's protection? The only one who can protect him is the Emperor.
Although my second brother is also very capable, now is not the time to follow him.
King Zheng said to his second brother, "If Princess Yicheng gets involved, things at Zichan Mountain will become complicated."
Xie Zhoutianwei burst out: "It's not complicated at all, things are getting simpler."
King Zheng admires him! Second Brother can do it, but he can't.
Huan Yue gnawed on a pig's trotter.
Yan Boxuan looked on longingly, wanting to eat.
Huan Yue gave him a piece of meat and told him to eat it.
King Zheng ate a stewed pig's trotter; it was delicious. He never imagined he'd have such a wife, but it was alright to have her come over for a meal at his second brother's house.
To a certain extent, the second brother's wife calls the shots in his family. As for the possibility of her falling out of favor in the future?
King Zheng felt that if he tried his best and had everyone's support, his second sister-in-law would no longer be in tears.
Besides, King Zheng also had to protect his third sister and several younger siblings. He bore a heavy responsibility.
Xie Zhou felt that Si Lang had changed; his wife was formidable!
When the family ate together, Xie Zhou wasn't particularly reserved. After all, his wife and the Prince of Yongning acted like close brothers.
Besides, if he's not happy, his wife will be happy to talk to him.
As long as his wife knows her limits, he'll turn a blind eye.
Of course, Xie Zhen should still find a good wife to keep an eye on things; that would be more suitable in the future. Just like Xie Jian.
Xie Zhou also felt that he needed to find a good wife, otherwise a troublemaker would not only disrupt one family, but would disrupt everyone's peace.
We've eaten.
Huan Yue, Princess Yongmu, and Xie Fufu went to turn around.
Xie Zhou and Xie Zhen decided to go to their father, the Emperor, to discuss the matter of Princess Yicheng.
Princess Yicheng has been cultivating her influence for many years; perhaps she has spies all over the palace.
Huan Yue hadn't even reached the back garden when he saw Caiwei coming over.
The palace maid asked Caiwei, "What's wrong?"
Caiwei was speechless: "Da Yang Fengyi went to appease Chang Fengyi, the two of them are going to continue their affair."
Huan Yue blinked.
Caiwei was very careful: "Chang Fengyi probably thinks she has bad luck, and even said something about that incense."
Huan Yue said, "Be careful, don't let her poison you and control you. If you get poisoned, remember to come find me."
Caiwei was startled and wanted to cry.
Huan Yue said seriously, "Using poison to control people seems to be very common, even more effective than controlling family members, because that's fate."
Caiwei steadied herself and assured the Empress, "This servant will inform Your Majesty."
Huan Yue nodded: "Come to us if you feel threatened or if you have any needs."
This is the most basic thing. If such a thing were to happen in the Crown Prince's palace, Huan Yue would make sure the Phoenix Mace was stained with blood.
Gong Yun is back.
Huan Yue looked at her: "How is it?"
Gong Yun had endured more than a month of wind and frost, which had a significant impact on her; however, she remained composed and had met with the Empress, the Princess, and the Lady of Guixiang County.
Xie Fufu quickly returned the greeting; she was young.
Seeing that she was well-mannered, Gong Yun first reported to the Empress: "Yesterday I dealt with a case. Last night at the post station, a thief sneaked in, and I stabbed him with a knife. I didn't expect that this morning, they said the man had died, and the yamen wanted to speak with me. It seems they came prepared, and this matter is not over yet."
