Xie Zhou arrived at Qing'e Palace, quickly ate lunch with his wife, and then went to Zichen Palace.
The Crown Prince, who can spend all day in the Zichen Palace, must be incredibly happy Σ(°△°|||)︴
Anyway, Xie Zhou didn't receive this treatment in his previous life.
There are plenty of people who can do the work; no matter how many go, there's always a group waiting in line.
Huan Yue sat down in the Qing'e Palace, and then the Princess Consort of Wu and the Crown Prince's Consort of Wu arrived.
The crown prince of Wu was deposed, and his grandson was installed in his place. Therefore, the crown prince's wife was also gone, and she was named Yin.
This time, Xie Quan's family was fine, so the Yin family was also alright; nothing that shouldn't have appeared was there.
The Queen of Wu sent many gifts.
Huan Yue looked at the ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms, which were probably thousands of years old, and laughed, "Auntie should come often. But my sister-in-law will be jealous."
Yin sat down and laughed, "I don't need this."
Huan Yue said, "Don't explain. Explaining is just covering up."
Di Baose and Guo Bing came over to keep the guests company and watch the play.
Lady Yin is no longer the Crown Prince's consort.
Di Baose didn't compete with her for the position, after all, she was Xie Quan's first wife and the birth mother of the grandson.
Yin was a bit older than Di Baose, and they didn't have much contact. Or rather, she wasn't as disruptive as Yang Tao.
Before long, Madam Hu arrived with Madam Yang and Madam Shi.
Princess Wu was speechless. Given her extraordinary status, she remained seated.
Yin stood up politely, but looked at Hu strangely.
Lady Hu was in her forties and held the rank of a fourth-grade imperial consort, which was far from enough to be considered a significant position in front of the Crown Princess.
She felt extremely awkward under Yin's gaze, especially Shi's behavior.
Yang is the young wife of the Wan family, here to make an appearance. She shares the same clan as that Yang family, but isn't part of their nine generations of kinship. The matter of exterminating the entire clan can be considered her or not; she'll probably try to get close to the Crown Prince.
The most bizarre one is the Shi family.
She's twenty-two and still unmarried, so it's not appropriate to call her a young lady. Her attire is not much different from that of a young married woman.
The Yang family held the rank of seventh-grade imperial edict or the title of Lady.
Shi dressed up like her, which was not only presumptuous, but she also put on airs in front of the Crown Princess.
Di Baose covered her mouth to suppress her laughter; she wasn't worthy.
As for how she was allowed to enter through Xuande Gate, Madam Hu had a lot of influence over her.
Huan Yue sat on the throne without saying a word.
Hu was sweating profusely. She stared at Shi Jiyun, wanting to poke her brain!
The Shi family's name is Ji Yunhua, a legendary oddity. Many of their names have three or four characters.
Shi Jiyun stood up straight, exuding even more imposing presence!
Madam Yin sat down, drank tea, and watched the commotion. She remarked that Miss Shi was quite beautiful.
Madam Yin had seen Shi Chongyi; the eldest daughter of the Shi family was not as beautiful as her. However, the eldest daughter's aura surpassed that of Shi Chongyi.
This local tyrant directly outmaneuvered Xiu'er in the Eastern Palace, making Xiu'er willingly admit defeat.
After all, it takes confidence to be a high-ranking official in the Eastern Palace. What ordinary person entering the palace has that kind of presence?
So he's a real talent! Princess Wu sat there without saying a word.
Guo remained cold and unresponsive.
Madam Hu had no choice but to explain to Lady Huan, "Madam Yang and Miss Shi admire Your Highness."
Huan Yue spoke: "Sit."
A palace maid led several people to sit down.
Naturally, Hu was in the first place, followed by Yang, and then Miss Shi.
However, there were still two empty seats in the middle, so Ms. Shi plopped down on one.
The palace maid had no choice but to ask her to get up.
Shi Jiyunhua glared angrily at the palace maids, but refused to get up!
Shi Jiyun was next in line to Yin Shi, and Yin Shi was speechless when she looked at her.
Madam Hu had no choice but to come and pull Shi Jiyunhua away. She was of no rank or status; even giving her a small stool in the Eastern Palace was a favor, and she could even be made to kneel.
Shi Jiyun just wouldn't budge: "Isn't this empty space just for sitting?"
Di Baose sneered: "Is the empty central palace meant for you to sit on?"
Madam Yin and her mother-in-law exchanged a glance; she knew she had to smile too.
The Queen Consort of Wu had a certain air of empress dowager, and often acted accordingly.
Lady Yin was also very careful; the trouble she suffered in the Eastern Palace stemmed from not knowing Huan Yue's character. Now she had to be careful again.
But suddenly this oddball appears. Could he be like those who arbitrarily declare themselves emperors, becoming a local tyrant?
A country girl can become a royal concubine, but she has to be convincing.
Shi Jiyunhua sitting there meant that.
Hu's hands and feet were cold.
Huan Yue said, "Shi Shi will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane."
Yes! The eunuchs are here to drag the person away!
Shi Jiyun jumped up and screamed, "Who dares to touch me?"
The eunuch dragged her away. "Empress Huan even beat the real Empress; she's dreaming of coming to the Eastern Palace! When will we wake her up if we don't?"
Guo Bing, it's not too strange.
There are definitely people eyeing the Empress's position. With Shi Shi in favor, some people are causing trouble for various reasons.
The Shi family is probably very similar to the He family. The idea of He Yueping becoming empress, He Yuexian becoming imperial concubine, and He Jing being enfeoffed as Prince Xu is just child's play.
I never expected Shi Jiyun to dare to think that way, isn't that shameless?
Di Baose also wanted to be empress, just like Chang Ziyu and Pei Huanfeng.
Lady Hu knelt before Lady Huan.
Huan Yue said, "I just don't understand."
Di Baose chimed in, "What other ungrateful things has Your Majesty done? Today, we ask Princess Wu to make the judgment."
Princess Wu remained silent, indicating that she had tacitly agreed.
There is a possibility that Shi Jiyunhua could become empress, but with Huan Yue standing in her way, that's probably out of the question.
If she succeeds, the Yin family will be devastated.
In fact, Qian Sha is quite favored now, she just needs a son? Why does she ignore the Crown Prince even after arriving at the Eastern Palace? Or does she think the Eighth Prince has already entered the Eastern Palace?
Madam Hu hurriedly explained, "No, no. I just feel that the prince has lost his mother."
Huan Yue asked, "Does Shi want to be a wet nurse?"
Di Baose asked, "Does she have children?"
Madam Yang quickly replied, "No. Miss Shi is Consort Chongyi's own sister."
Huan Yue asked, "And you?"
Yang did not understand.
Fang Tang sat down beside her and explained, "Even between brothers, accounts must be kept clear. If you commit murder, can you ask your sister to take the blame?"
The young palace maid said weakly, "Exterminating the entire clan is also included."
Ma said, "The prince belongs to the Xie family. What is the Shi family eyeing?"
Di Baose said, "The Shi family wants to learn from the Dong family, but what about your Yang family and the Wan family?"
Mrs. Hu was so frightened that she immediately kowtowed.
Although young, Madam Yang was very impetuous: "Miss Shi is doing this for the prince's good."
Huan Yue said, "Do you think the royal family can't raise a child? Are you questioning the Crown Prince's position?"
Madam Hu was terrified: "I really didn't! It's just that Miss Shi and Consort Chongyi are sisters, and the old lady of the Shi family also cares about them."
Huan Yue gestured: "Yang will receive twenty strokes of the cane, and Shi will receive an additional twenty."
Yes! The eunuch drags Lady Yang away to beat her!
Would Shi Shi not die from receiving fifty lashes?
No one pleaded for the sisters' deep bond.
Madam Hu didn't care. She was worried about being beaten. Empress Huan showed no respect and wasn't afraid of the Emperor.
Guo Bing thought to himself, there was a good reason to fight. As long as he didn't encounter a tyrannical ruler, what was there to be afraid of?
People sometimes overthink things. Does the Wan family or the King of Xiang want to profit from this?
A palace attendant came to report: "Madam Chen of the Bai family requests an audience."
Huan Yue nodded, wondering what the Bai family was going to do for the Shi family.
It has to be said that the Bai family has lowered their status. Yin Shi thought to herself, "I'm not afraid the Empress Wenming will turn in her grave."
Perhaps some members of the Bai family don't care about the coffin lid of the Empress Wenming.
