On the platform in front of Chengen Hall, people sat drinking tea and chatting.
The Queen Consort of Wu was already a grandmother, yet she didn't seem out of place among a group of beautiful young women in their late teens and early twenties.
Princess Wu was also beautiful; she didn't turn into a wicked mother-in-law despite the passage of time.
She is capable, but not truly malicious. So when she puts on a good face, she doesn't exactly look kind and gentle.
Pretending to be like that would be disgusting.
It's quite impressive that Huan Yue has been able to flirt with her for so long.
Princess Wu was equally blunt: "Pei Huanxin is unbecoming, and that Wang Chuyuan is even worse."
Huan Yue nodded: "Wanting to enjoy life is fine, just like everyone wants to live a better life, but you can't be without limits or self-discipline. Without self-discipline, you'll ruin yourself first. Bad habits are hard to break."
The Queen of Wu wants to deal with the two demons.
Huan Yue had no objections whatsoever. Since his mother wanted to take action, Xie Xuan didn't object either.
A palace attendant came to report: "Madam Hu of the Wan family requests an audience."
Huan Yue blinked. Who?
The eunuch explained: "It is the sister-in-law of Lady Wan, whom King Xiang favors above all others."
Huan Yue really couldn't remember what Wan Ruren's sister-in-law wanted to see her for.
Madam Ma interjected, "This servant seems to recall that when Consort Huan was a guest at the Cui family two years ago, her clothes got dirty, and it was Madam Hu who helped her?"
Huan Yue bumped his head and looked at the maid, "Does anyone know?"
The cat didn't know, and if it were Yuzhu, she probably wouldn't know either.
Yuzhu was given a marriage and then came to the Empress's side; someone like Qi Shi probably wouldn't care.
Di Baose sneered, "I thought it was a life-saving favor."
Zhu Jin said, "That's not necessarily true. If things escalate and damage our reputation, would that be greater than a life-saving grace?"
Guo Bing asked Di Baose, "You don't know?"
Di Baose casually replied, "Why should I care about that?"
It's not that Ma is involved in a lot of things, it's just that Hu's arrival is strange.
The ladies of Sheng'an could naturally request an audience, but if Madam Hu wanted to come, no wonder everyone was overthinking it.
Princess Yongmu came to greet her aunt.
Princess Wu noticed that she was in good spirits now, unlike before when she was listless, although Princess Wu didn't pay much attention to her.
But now that all the beauties are pleasing to the eye, Princess Wu suddenly feels tasteless.
The green moth can nourish people, but Princess Yongmu also went to sea, so Princess Wu was even more at a loss for words.
Princess Yongmu sat down next to Princess Wu and continued the conversation: "I know a little about the Cui family. Who got Qing'e's clothes wet? Now it seems it might be one of the Pei family's young ladies."
It's impossible that Pei Huanying arranged the marriage before pushing Qing'e into it; there must have been such a thing before.
Huan Yue didn't want to dredge up these old grievances, so he simply said, "Tell her to come tomorrow afternoon."
Madam Ma watched as Lady Huan continued to bask in the sun.
Princess Wu knew a little: "It's probably related to Shi Chongyi."
Huan Yue asked curiously, "Shi Tongci is dead, but the Shi family is still causing trouble?"
Princess Wu was speechless, but said, "Shi Chongyi is, after all, a daughter of the Shi family."
Huan Yue said, "A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; a daughter sold is like trash—why would you pick her up again?"
Princess Wu was speechless.
Mr. Ma sighed, "Isn't that just how people are?"
Only Lady Huan would dare to treat her favorite concubine like this.
Huan Yue said seriously, "We must rectify this trend. If someone like Shen Sima is talented, then naturally we should give him an important position. If the Pei family forcibly seizes farmland, then we will not tolerate it. As for selling children, needless to say, should we encourage them to do so more often? Consort Chongyi is favored because of the Emperor's great grace. If we reward those who sold her, I wonder what she will think?"
Sunny said softly, "Although it's complicated, it won't be a pleasant experience. They say their family will offer compensation, but if you don't forgive them, you're considered petty."
Di Baose said, "Generosity doesn't mean tolerating everything."
Huan Yue said, "For me, even if it's not for the common people, it's better to feed them to dogs."
The Shi family was brought in by the Dong family.
Everyone knows it was sold by the Shi family.
Gong Zhaoxun, for example, was sold by her stepmother.
Fortunately, her stepmother died, and her biological father didn't dare to cause trouble.
The Queen Consort of Wu left the Eastern Palace to visit her son.
Children may be unfilial, but parents can hardly forget. It's not fair to say that.
Princess Wu arrived a step later; by the time she reached the prison, everything had already been cleaned up.
It was spotless; there was no trace of Pei Huanxin or Wang Chuyuan, so they couldn't fake their deaths.
Xie Xuan's room was quite large, but he looked at his mother with a very unfriendly expression.
Pei Jinnu and Pei Huanqiao stood to the side, their faces pale.
Xie Xuan was granted the title of prince from a young age and enjoyed all the riches and honors of the world. How could he possibly like these colorless flowers?
When the Queen Consort of Wu faced her son, she, like the King of Wu, grew cold-hearted.
Xie Xuan had no intention of comforting her. King Wu only cared about his own well-being and didn't care about him; why should he act as a filial son? If he could, perhaps King Wu would even sell him off.
Princess Wu cried, "You wretched child, what have I done wrong to you? It's just that I didn't teach you well!"
Xie Xuan's ferocious expression would look good even on his handsome face.
Pei Jinnu didn't appreciate it. She wanted to say a few words to Princess Wu, but the fate of Pei Huanxin and Wang Chuyuan frightened her.
Pei Jinnu is already here, and besides, Princess Wu wasn't exactly kind to her before.
The Queen Consort of Wu was powerful enough to decide her life or death. Nobody in this world cared about her.
Xie Xuan sneered.
Princess Wu cried bitterly, "I just went to plead for you, and you are so ungrateful."
Xie Xuan dropped his nonchalant attitude and asked, "What do you want?"
Princess Wu left in tears to go see Xie Su.
Xie Su was unlucky; he was tricked by the Yang family.
Otherwise, given his noble birth, he would probably be like his father.
Princess Wu saw that he was in good health.
Xie Su felt a little awkward in front of his mother, but he could hear Xie Xuan's voice.
Princess Wu said to Erlang, "The Emperor's grace is boundless. Do not do anything wrong and bring shame to our ancestors."
Xie Su was a smart man, and besides, many people were listening, so he simply lowered his head and said, "It is your unfilial son."
Princess Wu cried again when she saw him: "Qing'e Palace all praise you. Even if you are a commoner, you are smart and talented. There are many things you can do in the future. As long as you put your heart into it, you can achieve great things."
Xie Su could understand.
He doesn't care about achievements, and that doesn't mean he should continue to rebel.
However, they also indicated that they would not lock him up and would give him a chance.
There are indeed many things that can be done given the opportunity.
Princess Wu pleaded, "All I ever want is for you all to be well."
Xie Su was momentarily tempted.
He wasn't really a rebel, but it's quite good that he survived.
This is also out of respect for the King of Wu, so the parents still have to coax them.
The King of Wu held considerable influence, and his son was not trying to undermine him, but rather to strengthen his lineage.
In the past, the situation also played a role.
Let's talk about it later.
Princess Wu felt that the second son was better than the third son, and having a better one made her feel a little more at ease.
Xie Xuan was very uncomfortable sitting in prison.
It's unlikely he can escape.
Princess Wu passed by Qian's prison.
Chang Ziyu hurriedly called out, "Your Highness!"
Princess Wu stopped and looked at her; this grotesque appearance was an eyesore.
Chang Ziyu felt that she looked very much like a phoenix maiden, and she could even stand up straight when talking to Princess Wu.
Princess Wu felt that the Pei family had completely disappointed her; if it weren't for Pei Jinnu and Sanlang, things would definitely be different.
