Princess Wu and Princess Yongqing are of the same generation and have a relatively small age difference, so they have each other as companions.
Hu was supposed to be similar to them, but their social status was too different, so it was impossible for her to hang out with them normally.
Even if Lady Wan was favored, it would be impossible for her to get along with Princess Wu.
There is a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children; wives and concubines do not belong to the same world.
The empresses in the palace might be able to overcome this hurdle, but Lady Wan is definitely not enough.
Di Baose was of noble status, far surpassing even Madam Wan.
Qing'e lifted Di Baose up, and she could be quite comfortable here.
Madam Yin admired Qing'e's resourcefulness. But framing her for the death of Shi Chongyi was truly unnecessary!
Of course, some people just talk nonsense, and you can't reason with them. Just kill them off.
Yang was afraid, but she wanted Qing'e to be afraid too: "Don't be so smug, you're about to be finished! How could you let such a vicious person get away with this!"
The eunuch covered her mouth; they had to get a live one over there.
Yang thought Qing'e was scared and struggled even more to speak.
Hu wanted to kill her, and she wanted to kill so many people.
Although the Wan family is inconspicuous, they have grown quite a bit in recent years, with a total of about 100 men, women, and children.
Everyone had the heir apparent of the Prince of Xiang, and they were living a good life. Why did they have to get involved?
The imperial envoy has arrived.
Shi Jiyun was so excited that she wanted to get up and challenge Qing'e to a duel.
The eunuch was disgusted: "Shi is to be executed."
Huan Yue nodded.
They won't deal with it here; a eunuch took Shi Jiyun away.
Shi Jiyun was extremely excited.
Huan Yue wondered if she was going to have another dream where the emperor was playing games with her? Or be an empress in the underworld? And be an empress again eighteen years later? That dog of a man probably didn't even look at her, even though he had many concubines.
Hu understood the situation without any problem, but when Shi Tong was ordered to commit suicide and Shi Jiyun was ordered to commit suicide, Hu panicked!
The imperial envoy wanted to take Hu and Yang away together.
Madam Hu rushed to Consort Huan's side in a panic: "Help! I was talking nonsense! I didn't mean it!"
Lady Yang cried and went to find Lady Huan.
What's going on? The eunuch dragged the person away quickly.
The Qing'e Palace fell silent.
The Yin family fell silent for a moment. In fact, those families that were exterminated, like the Yang family, suffered even more than this.
Although they deserved their fate, the scene was still horrific.
It's supposed to be a lesson, but since it hasn't happened to them personally, many people don't take it seriously.
There are quite a few timid people too. This is no joke, and their framing of Qing'e is no joke either.
Princess Wu, stay calm. As long as you're okay, what does it matter if everyone else dies?
Princess Yongqing looked at her sister-in-law and said, "Madam Wan might come looking for you."
Princess Wu frowned. Was she afraid of her?
Even if he has some leverage over the Prince of Wu's residence, as long as the emperor says it's nothing, it's nothing. The emperor is really acting like a saint now.
Because of his magnanimity, and more importantly, his ability, the King of Wu has accepted him, and things seem pretty good now.
Xie Yu probably won't settle scores later, and as for Xie Zhou, neither the Princess of Wu nor Qing'e seem like it.
However, we still have to go along with Qing'e's temper a bit. If Xie Zhouzhen really does something, asking her to plead for him will definitely work.
Princess Wu sighed inwardly. But that's just how it is. Even being an empress doesn't guarantee everything will go smoothly.
That's the kind of life Huan Yue leads—free and easy. The Queen Consort of Wu already has children and grandchildren; why shouldn't she be more carefree?
Lady Yin visits her mother-in-law.
Princess Wu made up her mind: "Unless King Xiang also decides to give up."
Both the King of Wu and the King of Xiang were kings, but their differences were enormous.
If everyone were like the King of Wu, then even dividing up the territory of Zhao wouldn't be enough. The King of Wu was just that arrogant, even though he has conceded quite a bit now.
However, since he couldn't become emperor anyway, whether he gave up the throne or not wouldn't have much impact on Princess Wu.
Now that the King of Wu is in charge of the Ministry of War, doesn't he still hold great power? So, it's just a matter of dealing with the King of Xiang.
The Yin family gained confidence.
The King of Wu was more powerful.
If one cannot become emperor, then retreating is enough to protect oneself.
Princess Wu then reminded Qing'e, "Should we do something to show our appreciation to the old lady of the Shi family? After all, she is an elder."
The lady-in-waiting interjected, "Consort De has already been there, and it seems the Shi family is very dissatisfied."
Then there's no need for Princess Wu.
No matter how favored Consort Shi is, she's still just a concubine. Any imperial favor, big or small, is still an imperial grace. Satisfaction? What would it take to satisfy her? To be carried to the palace in a grand sedan chair? Or perhaps to be made Empress Dowager? Dream on!
The lady-in-waiting beside Princess Yongqing scoffed, "What illegitimate son would chase after his maternal family?"
Even princes and princesses born out of wedlock had a more prestigious status than their maternal families.
Families like the Fu and Cui families were originally wealthy and powerful families.
The Shi family is a small, insignificant family; who can they blame? They just want to cling to the prince; there's nothing more to say.
Princess Wu and Lady Yin have left.
It was getting late, and Princess Yongqing also left.
Huan Yue escorted the eldest princess out, and the wind had already begun to blow.
The Shi family is just a dream anyway, there's no need to put in much effort.
Otherwise, there would be so many dreamers in the world, they would be overwhelmed with worries every day.
Despite Shi Jiyun's beauty, many wealthy families wanted to send their daughters to the palace, since the emperor was still relatively young.
Marrying a teenager in his forties isn't considered an outrageous age gap. And the position of empress is so alluring.
The palace maid whispered, "In the past, the Dong family was too powerful, so everyone didn't prepare much in this regard."
The most preparations were made for the Eastern Palace, and even with the Crown Princess, everyone wanted to bring her down.
However, even if others don't know, it might not be appropriate to send the Crown Princess to the Empress's palace. Do father and son have the same taste?
After all, the emperor was old, and even if she became empress, whether she could hold onto the position was another matter entirely.
It's like if an empress were to come now, she wouldn't be able to defeat the crown princess.
Therefore, the Crown Princess's commitment to the Emperor is long-term and unwavering.
Xie Zhou was in a hurry to come back, so he pulled his wife along to have dinner together.
Huan Yue glanced at him. "Are you done?"
without.
Huan Yue looked at him, wondering if he had slipped away.
Xie Zhou held his wife tightly, crying out, "Wife, help me!"
He's not getting involved in some things anymore; it's safer to get involved less.
Huan Yue blinked. The emperor didn't scold him for being an unfilial son?
Xie Zhou was saved entirely by his wife. Even if his father knew he wanted to come back to be with his wife, he wouldn't care about anything.
So, with such a good wife, anyone who dares to challenge her will be killed.
The eunuch behind her whispered gossip to the Empress: "Didn't the Princess Consort of Xiang die?"
Huan Yue stopped, dumbfounded.
The eunuch blinked; this is a fairly accurate one.
Huan Yue looked at the prince and asked the eunuch, "So the Shi family was already acquainted with the Prince of Xiang?"
The eunuch chuckled, "Not necessarily. As for the Shi family, who are they on good terms with?"
Huan Yue remained silent; it was just a dream.
At the beginning, you'll probably be the first wife? I don't know if you want to be a concubine, but the next option is to become a second wife, nothing new.
However, if she had really set her sights on the King of Xiang, and then turned her attention to the Empress, wouldn't she be afraid of upsetting the Emperor?
Such successful people exist.
But don't you even know what Shijiyun Flower is?
There are so many ambitious people, but very few succeed.
Huan Yue knew she didn't have the ability, so she went into the east wing and saw a table full of food, which she would provide.
Xie Zhou was overjoyed. Why was his wife thinking so much? As long as he made a basic judgment, he could just strike with his mace.
The more you eat, the stronger you become.
