The central part of Chengen Hall is quite large.
Anyway, setting up one or two tables is enough for eating.
The two tables were pushed together, but Xie Zhou insisted on pulling his wife to sit with him.
Huan Yue was already feeling unwell, and his face darkened. He sat down, ready to hit someone.
Xie Zhou had no choice but to endure it. He refrained from serving his wife food, but he moved the dishes she liked closer to her.
Xiuyun remained silent. With everyone serving on both sides, how could the Empress not have enough to eat?
It was windy outside, so there was a screen facing the door. It was a bit dark inside, so a few lamps were lit.
Huan Yue ate three jin of beef in one go and felt full of energy. He could kill a cow with one punch or carry a cow on his back.
Xie Zhou noticed his wife had a great appetite and wondered where to eat more. "Wife, eat more," he said.
Huan Yue simply ignored him. What a jerk! He changes his mind faster than flipping through a book. Thinking too much just proves he's overthinking things.
Xie Zhou thought his wife was heartless, and realized it must be because he hadn't done enough. He would try his best to do more to her satisfaction.
Huan Yue finished eating.
Xie Zhou was worried that she hadn't eaten enough. "Has my wife eaten enough?"
Huan Yue should kick him out and make him kneel on ice!
Xie Zhou, holding his wife's hand, was overjoyed!
When the imperial envoys came to see him, they all thought His Highness was a bit foolish.
Xie Zhou quickly composed himself. He couldn't let his father laugh at him. He kissed his wife and said, "I'll be back as soon as I'm done."
roll.
The palace maids cleaned and tidied the palace, making it warm and cozy.
Huan Yue sat on the throne, feeling lazy and unwilling to move.
Di Baose came to see her, and she smelled sour.
Huan Yue said nothing.
Di Baose said, "Everyone's rushing to celebrate the New Year."
Huan Yue coldly replied, "So what if it's the New Year?"
Di Baose understood, but then said, "Qian only has Chang Ziyu left, why is she still acting up?"
Cuizhu whispered, "Aren't there Pei Huanzhao, Pei Huanxu, and their eldest grandson?"
Di Baose is truly confused! Perhaps many families have been exterminated recently, and the Pei family is the only lucky one?
Di Baose laughed: "Being locked up with the Prince makes you think you have great potential?"
But Chang Ziyu's advances towards Xie Xuan are too despicable! Pei Jinnu didn't enter the Eastern Palace, and Wang Chuyuan was sent back, but Chang Ziyu is different.
However, Di Baose said, "Why hasn't Xie Xuan fallen for Feng Ming yet?"
Huan Yue said, "He's the one who gets to play with others; how can he let others play with him?"
Di Baose nodded; Xie Xuan couldn't lose face like that.
Fang Tang ran over, well-informed: "The Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince haven't even celebrated their one-month birthday yet, and those people are spreading rumors again."
Di Baose sneered: "Who doesn't know she was born prematurely? Why the rush to celebrate her full moon? Children in the countryside don't have these things, and many of them live to be eighty years old."
The two princes were raised by Di Baose. Everyone kept framing the Crown Princess, and Di Baose wanted to kill someone!
Don't even mention the day she picks up a knife. If she still dares to spread rumors now, she's asking for death.
Zhu Jin said from the side, "Jiulang can smile now."
Huan Yue nodded: "We can take it out to play in the spring."
Fang Tang smiled and said, "It will definitely be very lively then."
The two children, Yan Boxuan alone is so lively, the other two, with Balang making a ruckus, will probably never be quiet.
Di Baose calculated: "Actually, time flies by."
Fang Tang looked at the Empress with a smile: "Perhaps the Crown Prince will have another happy event next year."
Huan Yue was not happy.
Fang Tang smiled and left. She was very busy. As for the Empress and His Highness, no one else should even think about them.
Di Baose didn't want to either; she was still busy.
Huan Yue put on a cloak and came out, busily shoveling snow everywhere.
This year's heavy snow should end here; after that, it will be light snow, although there have been some unusual occurrences.
But now that it's cleaned up, it'll be more convenient for the Chinese New Year.
Huan Yue wanted to make a move.
The eunuch hurriedly advised, "Your Majesty, don't compete with them for work! Shoveling snow isn't such a big deal."
Ren Zhaoxun, dressed in thick clothes, came over and asked, "Your Majesty, shall we build a snowman?"
Huan Yue asked, "How do you plan to pile them up?"
Meng Pingting smiled and said, "Let's give Your Majesty a surprise!"
Huan Yue nodded and then instructed Cui Zhu to prepare a reward. After all, she had plenty of money.
Yu Anu, Yang Dong'e, and others came out to build snowmen, and each of them was rewarded with sixty taels of silver and silk.
Ren Zhaoxun didn't care anymore; she was looking beautiful anyway.
Meng Pingting was happy; receiving a reward is always a joy. Her family didn't ask her for anything in return.
It is said that the Chen family has once again asked the Meng family for money, but Meng Pingting has stopped caring about such matters since entering the palace.
Why should a woman devote herself entirely to her parents' family? Her own happiness is the most important thing.
A palace attendant came over and told everyone, "Old Madam Shi has an idea."
While building a snowman, Ren Zhaoxun asked, "What are you trying to do?"
Fei He Gu guessed: "Does wanting to be with the Empress show that the Eighth Prince is doing well?"
Meng Pingting didn't even bother to say anything. Why would the Empress need the Shi family's nonsense?
Fei Hegu smiled and said, "Isn't it almost New Year's? Of course, we're waiting for Her Majesty's reward. Even if it's just a Lady of the County, that would be wonderful."
The title of Lady of the County is equivalent to that of a Lady of the County. (The mother of a first-rank lady of the inner court is a Lady of the County, of the fourth rank; the mother of a second-rank lady of the inner court is a Lady of the County, of the fourth rank; and the mother of a third- or fourth-rank lady of the inner court may be a Lady of the County.)
The rank of Chongyi was second-grade, so it was correct that her stepmother was granted the title of Junjun. As for her grandmother, that was not unreasonable either.
For example, Consort Shen's stepmother was granted the title of Lady of the County. However, after Empress Mingde's death, Empress Dong never received such a title.
Rules are rules, but many things are achieved through struggle, and then we change all the rules.
Consort Shi had no power in the court, so no one helped her. Now she was relying on a prince, who was determined to bring benefits to the Shi family.
Meng Pingting had no control over what the Empress thought.
Ren Zhaoxun and Shi Chongyi had absolutely no connection.
People raised the prince because his surname was Xie, not Shi.
Gong Shanyuan was a fourth-rank official, and her stepmother could also have been granted the title of County Lady. However, she didn't mention it.
Gong Shanyuan is busy writing "A Collection of Charity Essays".
Each time she wrote a little more, she gained new insights. Her mother had been dead for several years, so she wasn't in a hurry to ask for anything.
If she does more good deeds and accumulates merit, her mother will be reborn into a better family. She and her younger brother will also have a good life.
Huan Yue strolled over and looked at the two princes.
It snowed for several days, so the baby's diapers couldn't be dried in the sun and were left to air out under the eaves.
Because people are not allowed to enter the Qiuxiang Courtyard casually, there is no snow removal.
The quiet snow scene, with birds perched on it, is very beautiful.
Several eunuchs, having finished their duties, swept the path ahead clean.
"Your Majesty!" Yan Boxuan rolled over.
Huan Yue turned around and saw that he was really putting in a lot of effort.
Yan Boxuan craned his neck, even though he couldn't see anything, he just wanted to see his two younger uncles.
Huan Yue carried him out to Shicui Palace to check on the vegetable garden.
The vegetable garden was covered in thick snow, so you couldn't see anything.
Inside the house, the vegetables in the pots were growing quite well.
Yan Boxuan looked at the peas and tried to reach out to pinch them, but his hand couldn't get out. He turned his head and looked at the Empress, who was laughing like a fool.
Huan Yue looked at him and smiled, thinking that he would pinch him like this from now on.
Yan Boxuan hugged his aunt and acted spoiled; he was very well-behaved.
Huan Yue carried him out.
Seeing that His Highness came with Prince Peng and Prince Zheng, and that the brothers are inferior to Duke Qi, it's likely they won't be associating with him for a long time.
King Zheng looked at his second sister-in-law, who was dressed in a magnificent cloak, like a goddess. Although he had never seen his mother at her peak of beauty, he felt that she was not as beautiful as his second sister-in-law.
Xie Zhou pulled his wife aside and kissed her, then decided he didn't want to bother with his father's duties anymore.
