Afternoon.
Huan Yue sat on the throne in the Qing'e Palace, drinking tea and dozing off.
It's cold outside, although it gets warmer in the afternoon.
The area around the throne was warmer, and the incense burner emitted a faint fragrance, making one even more drowsy.
Huan Yue wasn't wearing a pheasant crown; he was just dressed casually, yet he was still incredibly dazzling. There was nothing he could do about it; that's just how Qing'e Palace was these days.
Huan Yue had many good things to give away, and he rewarded female officials, palace maids, and eunuchs.
Several palace maids were busy making themselves look beautiful.
I feel so pretty and confident. I'll make something else in my spare time to earn some extra pocket money.
Di Baose came to watch the excitement and also sat down to doze off.
A group of palace maids surrounded the person to keep warm.
They whispered among themselves, talking about everything from declaring themselves emperor to being stabbed by Chang Zihan!
"I wonder what became of that traitor Chu?"
Do you believe in equality for all?
"I believe in Your Majesty. We do different jobs, so there's no difference in status. Your Majesty is doing the job of a Crown Princess."
"We'll warm ourselves by the fire here, while Your Highness still has to venture to the He family."
"I believe in the Empress."
"The rebels all talk a good game, but why does he want to become emperor? If everyone is equal, then everyone can become emperor."
"What would it be like if everyone declared themselves emperor?"
Pei Huanfeng followed the female official in, and the scene in the afternoon was so dazzling it could blind her.
Di Baose gave her a disdainful look; she had never been to a village before and probably had never seen such peace.
It's impossible with the Pei family, impossible with the Qi Prince's mansion, and even more impossible with Lian Qing.
The Di family is fine with it, so Di Baose is quite used to it.
Ren Zhaoxun, Meng Pingting, Fei Hegu and a group of others came out to see what was going on.
They huddled in a corner of the hall by the fire to keep warm from the wind, and also to take a nap or do something else.
The Qing'e Palace is so big, that's great, and they're all so beautiful.
Ren Zhaoxun shook his head as he looked at Pei Huanfeng. She used to be able to at least pretend when she came.
Now that she's dead, we have to use someone else's name. She's wearing a bulky, unattractive blue cloak. Her complexion isn't good either.
Due to the angle and her less-than-ideal complexion, she took off her hat, revealing that her hair was perfectly clean.
It's not that she can't afford any gold or silver, but rather that it's inconvenient for her to use it right now.
Cuizhu stood in front of the Empress, blocking Pei Huanfeng.
With several palace maids watching, how dare Pei Huanfeng be so presumptuous?
Pei Huanfeng is only fourteen years old, yet she has experienced so much in life. She's furious with Huan Yue.
Huan Yue lazily shifted his body and continued to lean back comfortably.
She can comfortably curl up and sleep in this double seat, which makes staying in the Qing'e Palace more acceptable.
As for what position she used, that was none of Pei Huanfeng's business.
Pei Huanfeng grew increasingly furious! She wished she could rush over and fight Huan Yue to the death!
Her fragile reason told her she couldn't.
Pei Huanfeng, knowing her own strengths, remained calm.
Several palace maids grew impatient and pressed Pei Huanfeng down to kowtow to the Empress. Even a dead person could not be disrespectful to the Empress.
Pei Huanfeng was furious, but she had bowed to Pei Huanyue more than once, so she endured it.
"Just bear with it, it'll be over soon," Pei Huanfeng stood up and found a place to sit.
She wanted to be closer to Huan Yue, but the palace maids prevented her from going up on stage.
Di Baose yawned: "This brain of hers is still not improving, there's no hope for her."
Pei Huanfeng was furious, but she suppressed her anger. Dong Shi was dead; she had to be patient.
Pei Huanfeng patiently called out to Huan Yue, "Fourth Sister..."
Huan Yue was comfortable leaning against her and felt no discomfort towards Pei Huanfeng. Even if she was in this position at fourteen, it wasn't Huan Yue's responsibility.
A fourteen-year-old girl shouldn't be like this; she thinks too much all day. Even if she were with Xie Yu, she wouldn't act like this if she behaved herself.
From the moment she hit Pei Huanying, honesty was out of the question.
Pei Huanfeng spoke up, feigning nonchalance: "Our mother is still in jail."
Jinni sat on one side working while listening to Pei Huanfeng tell stories.
She was surrounded by several palace maids, all of whom were skillful and dexterous.
Pei Huanfeng wanted to talk to Huan Yue alone, but decided to leave it at that: "Do you know what everyone thinks of you?"
Huan Yue did not react.
There were quite a few people inside the hall, and while there were no loud noises, there was a lot of breathing.
Di Baose wanted to know where Pei Huanfeng's confidence came from. However, it was most likely from Lian Qing or the He family.
The matter involves the He family, no rush. Can't you see that Huan Yue really doesn't care?
Pei Huanfeng was furious again and wanted to lean close to Pei Huanyue's ear to yell, "Do you know what's going on? Do you think the emperor can protect you?"
Sunny chimed in, "Do you think the emperor is going to protect you?"
Pei Huanfeng snorted, "Arrogant!"
What an idiot. Sunny thought she should follow Emperor Chu? That's more useful than Jade Dust True Monarch?
Pei Huanfeng had been posing for a while, and her feet were quite cold.
The maid placed an ice basin nearby, which would be even cooler for Pei Huanfeng if she wanted to sit there.
Actually, the ice wasn't very cold; the temperature inside the hall would melt it in no time.
Pei Huanfeng stared at Huan Yue, gritting her teeth!
Both Pei Huanfeng and Huan Yue got married, but what happened to Pei Huanfeng? Huan Yue, on the other hand, lives a life of luxury far better than he did in the Pei family!
The palace maid thought to herself, "That's right. It's not like Her Highness is going to the Pei family on her own. The Pei family took away her destiny but didn't take good care of her."
Even if she were raised in Baishi Village, she might not have been able to be raised well; Pei Huanfeng brought it upon herself.
Pei Huanfeng retorted, "Aren't you going to ask me why?"
Sunny smiled with her head down.
Ginny smiled, knowing it wouldn't delay her work.
It's not that Pei Huanfeng is incompetent; it's that the Empress is too individualistic. She doesn't care what others say.
As her power grew, those who criticized her and those who fawned over her had to bow their heads and flatter her, perhaps even more humbly than anyone else.
Pei Huanfeng rushed onto the stage and shouted, "The He family has 300,000 elite troops! Their provisions are enough to last for five years!"
Huan Yue remained silent. How much could Pei Huanfeng possibly know?
Pei Huanfeng knew a lot! She yelled at Huan Yue, "How can you do this to our mother?"
Di Baose didn't interrupt. The He family is the ones who should feel sorry for their mother.
Pei Huanfeng was chased away by the palace maids and jumped up and down in anger: "You'll be the first one to be finished! If you bring your mother out, she can plead for you! Otherwise, no one can protect you!"
Huan Yue asked, "Was it the Pei family or the Qian family involved in the rebellion? Lian Qing is definitely involved."
Pei Huanfeng's eyes widened: "Aren't you scared at all? Your mother raised you for at least sixteen years."
Huan Yue asked, "What else do you know?"
Pei Huanfeng said, "My eldest sister is pregnant, and General Lian has arranged for her to rest and recuperate."
Huan Yue asked, "Where is it?"
Pei Huanfeng said, "Nanfeng Village."
Huan Yue gestured.
A palace maid went to relay the order.
Now that Lian Qing has rebelled, it's impossible for him to raise Pei Yuannu's child in peace. Eliminating the threat completely is necessary.
Even if we treat him kindly, he might not appreciate it. At the very least, we need to keep the situation under control.
Pei Huanfeng, unaware of this, continued to persuade, "Even the General dotes on my eldest sister the most; she can plead for you then."
Huan Yue asked, "Where are the 300,000 people of the He family located? How many people are in Lianqing's household, and where are they located?"
Pei Huanfeng countered, "What are you going to do?"
Huan Yue casually said, "Let's see if you're telling the truth. You don't think anyone will believe you just because you say it like that?"
Pei Huanfeng jumped up and down: "Believe it or not!"
She turned to leave.
Huan Yue could not possibly keep her.
But Pei Huanfeng discovered that she couldn't leave either!
