It's cold when I wake up this morning!
Huan Yue shrank back into bed and tried to sleep a little longer.
The young palace maid was half asleep, but she woke up after she finished tidying herself up.
Cuizhu also came to serve the Empress. She's up so early!
Huan Yue dressed warmly before going out for a run.
The Qing'e Palace was also covered in snow and ice, which looked exceptionally beautiful under the lights.
Yan Boxuan rolled out like a ball, following closely behind his aunt, yelling, "Baby, speed is the fastest!"
Xie Fufu followed him out and watched her younger brother roll around. The morning wind was quite cold, so she put an extra coat on him and tied his hands and feet, but he just kept rolling. As long as he was happy.
The palace maid watched from the side, stamping her feet. She wondered what had happened yesterday and couldn't be of any concern.
Xie Fufu wasn't worried. She couldn't rely on her parents anyway, let alone her maternal grandmother.
She was in the Eastern Palace, and no one bullied her because of her parents, nor did her maternal grandmother treat her badly.
Just like her aunt, she was able to grow up in peace, not taking her aunt's kindness for granted, and knowing that she could rely on herself in the future.
Xie Fufu doesn't count on her bratty younger brother; if she did, it would be too late.
Aww! Yan Boxuan rolls over and bumps into his sister, let's play together!
Xie Fufu tried to pull him along, but she couldn't hug him; her arms weren't long enough.
Yan Boxuan always tries to push his older sister down. Xie Fufu runs away, and her naughty younger brother chases after her.
Huan Yue glanced at it, nothing was wrong, and went into Chengen Hall to continue practicing Baduanjin.
There was no brazier inside the hall, so it was cold.
The palace maids stamped their feet in frustration. They saw that the Empress was shivering from the cold after taking off her outer garment.
Huan Yue is actually alright; it's not even the coldest time of winter yet, while others swim in the dead of winter.
She eats a lot and gets plenty of calories. As for saving energy and dieting, Huan Yue eats a lot to build strength, and with strength comes safety.
Even if the roof collapses now, she can hold on for a while.
The rough roof beam could be lifted by ten people, and she could probably do it by herself, but it might not be possible for twenty people to lift it.
Xie Zhou came to see his wife and was shocked!
Huan Yue rolled his eyes. It wasn't the first time he'd seen this.
Xie Zhou was busy all night, feeling like he was in a dream. This was the wife he dreamed about.
Huan Yue finished practicing.
Xie Zhou quickly picked her up, wrapped her in an outer garment, and then instructed the palace maids to prepare her services.
Huan Yue glared at him. What?
Xie Zhou replied, "Stay with me for a while longer."
Huan Yue asked, "Don't you attend the morning court session?"
Xie Zhou said, "The court will be suspended for five days."
Okay. Huan Yue felt that this meant he wouldn't be working the early shift anymore; he could work later if he wanted.
Even if it's an urgent delivery, it will arrive at night, not early in the morning, so it's good to sleep now.
But when that dog of a man goes to sleep, does Huan Yue want a few beauties to warm his bed?
Xie Zhou held his wife and fell asleep.
A palace attendant made the bed warm and cozy, making it even more comfortable to sleep for a while.
Huan Yue wasn't sleepy, but the fragrance emanating from him made him fall asleep as well.
Xie Zhou woke up, looked at his beloved wife, and wanted to make love. But as soon as his wife moved her leg, he became as quiet as a chicken.
Xie Zhou pondered that the previous mace wasn't heavy enough, and he needed to make a pair that was heavier.
Use it for light, everyday tasks; use it for heavy, urgent tasks.
Although he didn't expect her to kill the enemy, Xie Zhou was essentially clinging to his wife's leg, and would sleep a little longer while holding her.
Yan Boxuan called from outside, "Your Majesty!"
Xie Fufu pulled hard, saying that her second uncle was looking for her aunt, and if he dared to go, she would kill him immediately.
The sun came out, but it was still very cold.
Yan Boxuan looked at his sister innocently, asking if she wanted to go to sleep.
The palace maid came and carried Yan Boxuan away. After tidying up, it was time to eat.
Xie Fufu had short legs, so palace maids carried her.
When Di Baose came over, she found out that His Highness had taken Huan Yue to sleep together. She didn't stay here and went to wander around in the back.
The Green Jade Courtyard is bustling with activity now, although loud laughter and talking are not allowed in such a tense situation.
But after waking up, the weather seemed nice, and I felt quite relaxed. There was a saint, a prince, and an empress, after all.
A palace maid came to find Consort Di: "Consort Yang said she can help Your Highness."
Di Liangdi asked, "Help with what?"
The palace maid said, "Is it perhaps a peace treaty?"
Di Liangdi's eyes widened: "Such great ability?"
Meng Pingting felt that Da Yang Fengyi might want to die.
Yu Anu didn't know much, but Xie Geng dared to declare himself emperor. How could they negotiate peace? He had no choice but to die.
Even though Madam Dong is dead, a young woman from a family branch of the household actually has a plan.
Those who understand should be careful; we'll settle accounts after this is all over.
Fang Tang's news travels fast: "Chen Zhun and the You family died suddenly together."
Meng Pingting was dumbfounded. Why didn't they say she died of illness, but just said she died suddenly?
Di Liangdi then realized: "The You family has rebelled."
Sun said, "Chen Zuo is ruthless enough."
Sunny whispered, "Can't the eldest branch of the Chen family continue to observe mourning?"
Just then, Chen Zhun, the eldest son of the Chen family, and his wives and concubines all died, and Chen Ke's power was directly suppressed, perhaps for ten or twenty years.
Someone who achieved fame at a young age, even after ten years of honing their skills, will still look young. A large family, no need to rush.
However, it's hard to say whether Chen Ke himself can stay calm.
Meng Pingting thought a little slower: "Chen Zuo forced them to their deaths, and Chen Ke and his brothers have completely lost touch with their grandfather and the second branch of the family, haven't they?"
Sun said, "As long as I still have hope for the Chen family, I can't leave."
Chen Ke's maternal uncle plotted a rebellion, and he was practically half-dead. It was hard to say whether the emperor would execute the entire You family.
In particular, the You family rose to prominence thanks to the Chen family, so the Chen family can definitely be included in the calculation.
Chen Zuo's swift killing of Chen Zhun was both a gesture and an attempt to protect the Chen family and the four Chen brothers.
As for whether wealthy families are ruthless, it depends on how you look at it.
Neither Chen Zhun nor the You family are innocent.
Are their children pitiful? What about Chen Zhi and her brother? Chen Ke, born out of wedlock, is treated like a legitimate child—on what grounds?
Ultimately: Do no evil.
If you know that committing evil deeds will make your child pitiful, then think more before you do something reckless.
Instead of asking for others' sympathy, we should learn from their plight and take it as a warning.
Cheng'en Hall.
Huan Yue woke up hungry.
Xie Zhou quickly got up; he couldn't let his wife go hungry.
Di Baose came over and reported on the Chen family's affairs.
Xie Zhou nodded and said to his wife, "It involves too many people."
Huan Yue understood: "Win over some, keep some neutral, and then attack the rest."
Or maintain overall stability; if there are people who are truly unmanageable, then don't do anything or cause trouble. The Chen family falls into the category of not causing trouble.
Xie Zhou felt that his wife understood perfectly!
There are differences between them.
That means the emperor holds the initiative; instead of begging, he warns the emperor. This makes the fight much easier.
When forced to, one must resort to means.
Di Baose didn't think too much about it, but she was a little unwilling: "Everyone knows the Chen family's attitude in the past."
Huan Yue coaxed her, "This is the big picture. Isn't there also the option of surrendering? If the surrender is within acceptable limits, then accept it."
Well, whether or not you accept it has little to do with Di Baose.
Di Baose asked His Highness, "Has the He family rebelled?"
Xie Zhou snorted coldly. The He family was far from neutral, and this score had to be settled.
Di Baose was still curious: "Where does the He family get their confidence? Their military power was also granted by the imperial court."
Huan Yue said, "It's been a long-standing habit. The imperial court isn't monolithic either; its prestige has declined, and everyone dares to challenge it."
Di Baose's eyes lit up: "If the He family realizes they're wrong, will they be afraid?"
