Inside the Jiaofang Palace, tranquility was restored.
Shi Chongyi is handling things on her side, including the two children.
Once the family reunion here is over, the whole thing will be complete.
Xie Qian and Kong Zhenjun then went to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.
Xie Yu was eighteen years old, and the Crown Prince was nineteen.
Although the two brothers are not good friends, they get along well with each other.
The Crown Prince has the air of a future emperor, especially in the position he's sitting.
But Xie Yi was truly remarkable. Neither the Dong family, nor Kong Zhenjun, affected him. Though his perfection was almost unreal, he was undeniably handsome, and possessed a remarkable bearing.
Kong Zhenjun and the Crown Princess.
What I initially thought would be a battle between country girls turned out to be quite different. The Crown Princess was far from rustic, and Kong Zhenjun was stunningly beautiful.
Even a sixth-rank official has a crown and robes; if conditions allow, they can dress better than the Empress. As for overstepping their bounds, it is permitted during the wedding period.
As long as she doesn't wear the Dong family's phoenix crown, she doesn't mind looking ugly even if she's adorned with all sorts of jewels.
Kong Zhenjun remained expressionless, but her eyes were fixed on the Crown Princess.
Huan Yue's eyes are very bright.
Kong Zhenjun looked like a ghost. Suddenly, she let out a ghostly scream, clutched her head, and rolled on the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.
Xie Liu was startled!
Zhu, sitting opposite, was startled and reprimanded him without hesitation: "What on earth is Kong up to?"
Qian Sha was speechless. It's rare to see someone scheme against themselves. It's said that when the Crown Princess came to claim her relatives, Lady Dong pulled some tricks. Now that it's Lady Kong's turn, is she playing such a shrewd game all by herself?
Even Qiansha's inner monologues couldn't compare to hers.
They looked quite frightening, with palace maids protecting Xie Fufu, Princess Yongning, and a few other children.
Xie Yu tried to restrain Kong Zhenjun, but she couldn't; she was about to become a ghost!
Xie Yu had no choice but to look at the Crown Princess.
Xie Zhou retorted angrily, "Don't you know what the Kong family is doing?"
Huan Yue said, "I've heard that some people can hear what others are thinking. But if they are calm and collected, or a bunch of useless information, or a bunch of fake information, what use is it to you? As for me, I'm too frank for you to handle."
The emperor coldly issued an edict: "Sanlang, take Kong Shi back and let her recuperate properly."
"Ah!" Kong screamed, banging his head against Xie Yi.
Xie Liu was perfectly fine; he wasn't knocked over, but tears and snot were all over him.
Kong continued to ram the object, leaving Xie Qi completely bewildered.
Xie Yu still wanted to reason things out; it wasn't Confucius's fault. However, the emperor probably didn't want to reason things out right now.
When the emperor is unreasonable, she is in far more danger than a common woman.
Qian Sha asked, "Can Kong Anren really hear that?"
Today, the question is: "What are you thinking about?"
Qian Sha stepped forward and knelt down, a little frightened: "I was thinking that if I could have a daughter in the future, I would raise her to be very delicate. Princess Yongmu is gentle and beautiful, Princess Changning is noble and generous, and Princess Guangning is talented. I was thinking that my daughter should learn from Consort Huan?"
Today, people would scold: "Can you even learn that? Get out of here."
Yes! Qiansha escaped unscathed and quickly sat down. Having a son was too much trouble for her; a cute daughter would be nice too.
Empress Huan said that women can be independent. Qian Sha doesn't rely on that; she depends on the Emperor. But if her daughter is capable, she can be like half a son, right? Xie Fufu is quite good, for example.
Xie Fufu has a resemblance to Princess Huayang, yet she is different from Princess Huayang.
Princess Yongning listened attentively. Her elder sister was doing well, but what about her?
Princess Guangning comforted her, saying, "Just be yourself. Everyone is different."
Princess Yongning nodded. It didn't require much of her ability.
After Xie Yu took Kong Zhenjun away, he basically had nothing to do in the palace anymore.
The atmosphere became serious.
There are still things to do today.
Huan Yue reported, "Did I take Eighth Prince and Ninth Prince to the Eastern Palace?"
The emperor granted the request: "You don't need to be too nervous; life and death are predestined."
Huan Yue said, "They are all His Majesty's children, so naturally they are destined for wealth and honor."
Di Baose and Guo Bing were about to leave together.
Thinking back now, it seems: "That Luo clan was given a death sentence."
Refers to Luo Yaohui.
The matter of Consort Shi was never fully exposed. In fact, Luo Yaohui bribed the eunuchs of the Eastern Palace and colluded with Consort Shi's maids.
In short, it's a blatant attempt to harm the Crown Princess; all they want is to cause her discomfort. If this happens repeatedly, will the Emperor still protect her?
Therefore, Luo Yaohui deserves to die, and Zhou You and several others in between should all be arrested.
The Eastern Palace's Hidden Fragrance Courtyard.
The weather is nice right now.
Yang Dong'e came out to bask in the sun. She wanted to move to the westernmost room, where Chang Fengyi had lived, to be further away from Luo Yaohui.
Luo Yaohui hid in the room, feeling very uneasy.
Cai was also uneasy, fearing she would be implicated.
Luo Yaohui questioned, "Did you betray me?"
Cai replied frankly, "There's no need."
Many people stared at Luo Yaohui like a clown, but she seemed to enjoy it.
Luo Yaohui wrapped her fur coat tighter around herself, curling herself into a ball, and muttered as if in a daze: "I just want children, what's wrong with that? I want two children, and I'll raise them better than anyone else. My great-grandfather was the imperial tutor, I'm better at teaching him than anyone else."
The palace maids watched the spectacle from the sidelines. Did they intend to raise their child to be emperor? Did they think the late emperor was raised by the Luo family?
Grand Commandant Luo was just one of them; we should simply respect him.
Which prince didn't have several tutors? (Referring to both formal teachers and mentors.) The Crown Prince's upbringing was even more rigorous.
The current crown prince was also rigorously groomed. Does Luo Yaohui think she can manage on her own?
Anyway, if Luo Yaohui thinks she can do it, then she can do it.
The inner envoy arrived.
Luo Yaohui asked excitedly, "How did it go?"
The eunuch was well-meaning: "The Eighth and Ninth Princes will be sent to the Eastern Palace to be cared for shortly. Consort Shi's funeral will be presided over by the Sixth Prince. Zhou You will be executed by slow slicing. The Zuo family will be exterminated, including nine generations of their clan; it seems a woman from the Luo family was among them?"
It's not too strange that Grand Commandant Luo's granddaughter married into the Zuo family of Huanting.
Luo Yaohui's eyes widened: "Where is Pei Huanyue?"
Huan Yue shouted from outside, "Tell her to die quickly, don't wait for the auspicious hour."
Inside, the eunuchs won't be delayed. After all, there are quite a few things to do.
Yang Chu'er trembled with fear. Chang Ziyu was imprisoned, and Luo Yaohui was dead. The Eastern Palace seemed to be about to fall silent.
Yang Dong'e felt that quiet was good; she just wanted to be alone right now.
Huan Yue, Di Baose, and Guo Bing went to Qiuxiang Courtyard together.
Lady Sun and the palace maids had almost finished making preparations.
Since there are many people, the main task is to prepare the east wing in the backyard for the baby. The rest can be prepared gradually.
In the backyard, many quilts and bedding were drying in the sun. The small kitchen at the back was also on fire.
The courtyard, which had been uninhabited for a long time, suddenly became very lively.
Sun selected four wet nurses and four palace maids to live in the backyard so it wouldn't be crowded.
Two more eunuchs were assigned to stay in front, and a room was prepared for the imperial physician; everything was arranged properly.
The two babies were brought inside.
Huan Yue glanced at it. Xie Li was born healthy, so even without this treatment, he should still be able to recover. But it was better to be cautious.
Xie Jie didn't know how his mother raised him; he certainly wasn't conceived from somewhere else.
Di Baose looked at her and asked, "Could there be something wrong with the Su family?"
Huan Yue came out and whispered to her, "All people under heaven are subjects of the king. As long as he is a prince, he is an innocent child."
Mrs. Sun nodded: "The children are all being raised."
Huan Yue patted Di Baose on the shoulder: "You should raise them as your sons, and they will be filial to you in the future."
