Chapter 365 The Dowager Consort



Huan Yue doesn't know if this counts as involution.

Since palace intrigue is no longer allowed, everyone should gradually be like a hundred flowers blooming in spring.

Palace flowers originated from the palace. Although the palace is very large, everyone can learn how to make them by observing them.

There are beaded flowers that are not very expensive to make, or even high-cost ones, but the cost of silk flowers is acceptable to everyone.

The girls in the palace were all selected, and many of them were very skillful.

I'm planning to sell it.

There is definitely a market for it.

Jing Wei thought to herself, selling it in the palace and giving it to the Empress are two different things, let's talk about it later.

The eunuch rushed back to report: "Liu Qing hanged himself, but he was saved and is still alive."

Huan Yue nodded: "Tell him to exterminate his entire clan."

The eunuch said, "Liu Qing has an adopted son and a grandson." He then went to deal with Liu Qing.

Whether it was suicide or homicide, there's definitely something wrong.

Caiwei was quite frightened, but thankfully she confessed quickly. Actually, even if there were problems elsewhere, once the item reached the Empress, the female officials could handle it. Even if it was a gift from Miss Chang, Xiangnu wouldn't care.

Jing Wei said, "Caiwei is so honest, and the second young lady is also very clever."

Even if Chang Zihan wasn't particularly bright, she remembered. There were many things in the palace that couldn't be given away casually.

Although she is the Empress's younger sister, this is far from enough; don't try so hard to get close to her.

Smart people live longer.

The eunuch rushed back in a hurry: "Liu Qing told me that Hua Shi is the old lady who served the Dowager Consort."

Huan Yue was particularly straightforward: "Go and invite someone."

The eunuch understood.

Should Jing Wei avoid this kind of thing? But Chang Zihan is involved, so can her future sister-in-law be there too?

Chao Yun hesitated before reminding the Empress, "Should we ask the Dowager Consort for permission?"

Huan Yue simply replied, "No need."

The Dowager Consort wasn't the Empress Dowager; she just lived a few more years.

Did the emperor agree or disagree after I asked for his permission? Besides, I was just a servant.

At worst, the emperor would scold her later. The emperor would be fine, and Huan Yue would invite the person away.

The palace maid whispered, "The Dowager Consort and Consort Fu were lovers back then..."

Therefore, it's hard to say whether this matter is related to the Fu family or their grandson Xie Xuan.

Although a single purse can't really do anything to the Empress, this roundabout way of doing things needs to be dealt with. Are we supposed to wait until something serious happens before we get angry?

It's not a big deal that the Dowager Consort and Consort Fu are on good terms, but since the Empress Dowager is present, she has to avoid the situation.

Consort Shen, come here.

Huan Yue was not surprised.

Consort Shen Xianfei was not referring to the Dowager Consort, but rather to her maternal grandmother.

Huan Yue invited her to sit down and have some tea.

Consort Shen was embarrassed: "When the eldest son takes a concubine, all the relatives of the Shen family who are not even remotely related to him come."

Huan Yue chuckled when he saw her helpless expression.

This isn't hard to understand. It seems that Consort Shen has finally made it. She used to be suppressed by Lady Dong, but now it seems that the Shen family is finally getting its chance to rise.

Consort Shen didn't feel that way, but her spirits were better than before. She still had to tell Qing'e about things: "My aunt Cai has chosen two honest and reliable girls from her family and sent them to Prince Peng's residence. She keeps telling me that she wants to have children."

Di Baose came over, sat down, and drank tea.

This imposing presence is unmatched by Consort Shen.

Huan Yue first spoke about the Shen family's affairs: "It is the Xie family's business to have many descendants."

Consort Shen nodded, "Absolutely."

So Huan Yue told Di Baose, "Go to the Peng Prince's mansion. Clear out two acres of land there and let those two girls, along with their maids and wives, plant it. Just let it grow and flourish. If it doesn't grow well, you can beat your sister-in-law."

Di Baose nodded.

The matter concerning the Crown Prince's Palace is difficult to handle, but the matter concerning the Prince Peng's residence is easy to handle.

Consort Shen added, "Prince Peng has a fiefdom. If the Shen family wants to help, they can send the fiefdom next time."

Huan Yue nodded, "That's right."

All they care about is eating and drinking well, and they want to change the surname of the Peng Prince's Mansion to Shen, or even Cai? Dream on!

Huan Yue went to Qiu Xiang Courtyard first.

Consort Shen followed. She, as a stepmother, was incompetent, so she didn't want to cause trouble for her son.

"Every man for himself" is a proverb. When things were tough, the Shen family couldn't help, but now that things are a bit better, they're naturally looking out for themselves first.

Peng Wang is not that good yet; he can only become better if he performs well.

Some members of the Shen family thought it was all good? Xie Jian's life wasn't something they cared about.

Shen Yanzong even went to sea with Princess Yongmu, so why should others enjoy the good life?

Huan Yue knew that some people preferred distant fragrances to close ones.

Some people in the Shen family definitely look down on Consort Shen. If she weren't so useless, the Shen family would have risen to prominence long ago.

Why should they? Shen Pu is alright, so why should others pamper him?

It's precisely because the relationship is distant and they don't consider your needs that they only think of themselves.

When someone like He Shuiying considers her daughter's needs, she will restrain herself.

Jing Wei also knew that life in the palace was difficult; the Empress had no powerful backing and didn't know how tough it was for her.

Qiuxiang Courtyard is now quiet.

Sun and Pingxiang knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

Huan Yue told them to get up: "Even after guarding against thieves for a thousand days, there will always be oversights. Everyone knows whether you have taken good care of them or not. Even if you haven't made any great contributions, you have still worked hard."

Pingxiang felt even more ashamed: "It was my negligence. The Crown Prince is doing well, and the child is older. My carelessness almost led to a serious mistake."

Huan Yue nodded: "Be more careful in the future."

Ding, Xuan, and several wet nurses all responded.

Huan Yue said, "Take good care of the child. Don't be nervous if anything happens, and don't keep anything from him."

Everyone thought the Empress was quite nice.

Even though they aren't one's own children, adults and servants are still human beings.

Madam Sun said, "I didn't go all out this time, but I will be more vigilant."

Huan Yue nodded: "Don't be too nervous. The princes are all blessed, and they also have His Majesty's imperial aura to protect them."

Sun understood. She wouldn't dare to kill easily. They were sure they could find out. As long as he wasn't dead, the trouble wouldn't be a big deal.

If children are raised well, they can withstand hardship.

Therefore, raising children well is the key. Adults should be careful and only deal with things when something really happens.

Consort Shen looked at Qing'e and thought, "Impressive! She definitely couldn't do it."

This isn't a question of whether someone is sentimental or not; there are many instances where people are sentimental but fail to handle things properly.

If Prince Peng ever needs anything, Qing'e will still have to take care of it.

Even though Consort Shin-hyeon felt she wouldn't live much longer, she was relieved to have this.

Consort Shen and Jing Wei have both left.

Huan Yue returned to Qing'e Palace alone.

The eunuch "invited" Lady Hua to come.

Inside the hall, it was dark, and only then did the eunuchs begin to light the lamps.

Ms. Hua is about to get angry.

Huan Yue stared at her.

Hua saw that her eyes shone brighter than a lamp, illuminating the darkness in her heart.

Even the young palace maids wanted to spit out, "You heartless old hag! You're over seventy years old, yet you're the most skilled in palace tricks?"

Is she taking advantage of the Empress's youth? Is an old servant bullying the Crown Princess?

Hua's arrogance was suppressed, but she still stood firm: "What does Lady Huan want to do?"

Huan Yue asked, "You don't know?"

Hua said, "This servant still needs to serve the Empress Dowager."

Huan Yue said, "So loyal! Then I'll continue to guard you even after I become a ghost."

Hua's face turned pale, and she screamed, "How dare you!"

Huan Yue asked, "Why wouldn't I dare? Why wouldn't I dare kill an old dog like you? Do you think I haven't killed many dogs?"
