Qing'e Palace, springtime has its own unique flavor.
From Huan Yue to Di Baose, Guo Bing, Ju Zhaoxun, Ren Zhaoxun, Meng Pingting, Yu Anu, and others, they were all beauties.
Even though she wasn't dressed up formally, the girl was fine and looked beautiful every day.
Even though it's a period of mourning and you should wear lighter colors, girls look good in anything.
Fang Jieyu came over; she was also a beauty.
Huan Yue quickly stood up to greet him.
Everyone else stood up and offered her their seats.
The Qing'e Hall was large, and since everyone was a member of the family, they all sat up forward. Di Baose gave way to Consort Fang, and everyone neatly moved back one seat, which was quite amusing to watch.
Fang Jieyu didn't think too much about it. Looking at where they were sitting, it was obvious that they were waiting for guests and weren't leaving seats for them.
Yang Chu'er felt a pang of jealousy looking at the Empress, but she had no choice but to be jealous now.
As for the rumors circulating outside, never believe them; believing them is tantamount to suicide.
Fang Jieyu and Qing'e said, "Go ask me to plead for them, or go ask Zihan."
Huan Yue asked, "How did you ask for it?"
Fang Jieyu smiled and said, "There are rare books and famous inkstones."
Huan Yue blinked: "Putting their preferences into account, that's a good thing."
Fang Jieyu smiled and said, "Unfortunately, His Majesty just bestowed upon me a dragon-patterned inkstone and a piece of green jade."
Guo Bing said, "My family sent over a few pieces of frozen stone."
Fang Jieyu said, "Let's put them together to enjoy sometime."
Huan Yue proudly declared, "I have one too."
Fang Jieyu was delighted; she definitely had the most of these things.
Fang Jieyu added, "What I gave Zihan was a large piece of red agate, they said it was a really big piece. We have other kinds too."
Huan Yue said, "I thought they were going to make her the Grand Empress Dowager."
Fang Jieyu lost her voice.
Di Baose laughed: "Wouldn't that make us all look like grandsons? They're just spreading rumors, it's not like they're rebelling."
Fang Jieyu said, "The Ming family is low-key now, but they were once glorious. They even produced a concubine."
Madam Ao learned of this: "The Ming family, Princess Jing and the Ming family are relatives."
Huan Yue blinked. Is that what happened?
No wonder they could come up with such good stuff and dared to plot against Fang Jieyu.
Fang Jieyu's status was naturally inferior to that of Prince Jing, and Zihan was even less so.
The palace maid led Madam Qiu, Xiong Baodie, Xue Biqian, and others to the scene.
It was a bit hot outside, so the group of people came in carrying heat with them.
Xue Biqian took off her cloak, revealing a light-colored long coat underneath that showed off her good figure; she wore a gold necklace around her neck, which made her long neck appear even longer, and her phoenix eyes looked very long, giving her a strange look.
Xiong Baodie wore an apricot-yellow satin jacket, and she looked much more adorable than Xue Biqian.
The two sides collided unexpectedly and then couldn't stand each other.
Because Xiong Baodie reeked of money, while Xue Biqian reeked of poverty.
Wearing a gold necklace does not mean one is not poor, and being the Crown Princess does not necessarily mean one is rich or noble.
Therefore, these men had no manners whatsoever when meeting the Crown Princess.
Fang Jieyu stood up.
Di Baose and Guo Bing both stood up.
Xiong Baodie had casually met the Crown Princess and didn't bother to give her a second glance. When she turned to look at Di Baose, she couldn't see anything good about her.
Di Baose swung her hand and slapped her across the face!
The slap was so loud that it stunned Madam Qiu.
Madam Qiu originally intended to follow proper etiquette, but she felt that the young ladies were too close, so she neglected them. Now it's too late to make amends.
Fang Jieyu stared at Madam Qiu: "It seems that the Cui family's rebellious intentions are also obvious."
Madam Qiu quickly denied it: "No, how could that be?"
Fang Jieyu slowly sat down, but whether it was possible or not was none of her business.
Even if the Qiu family is doomed sooner or later, what does it have to do with the fact that the King of Wu has given them important positions?
The King of Wu was always the emperor's elder brother. Even if half of the Fu family were killed, it would be a different matter from the King of Wu.
Xiong Baodie came to her senses and was ready to fight Di Baose to the death.
*Slap!* Di Baose slapped her hard across the face again at that moment.
Guo Bing sat down.
Di Baose also sat down, and the reason he smoked Xiong Baodie was because of his connection with the Li family.
Guo Bing and Xue Biqian have no relation.
The Xue family of Brazil produced many great Confucian scholars, including Xue Song, who was considered one of their students.
Even someone from the prestigious Xihe Prince's family would send students to the Xue family for education, or send members of the Xue family to the army. That's how it is.
Xue Biqian probably thought that Guo Bing had to invite her.
Guo Bing had absolutely no acquaintance with her. She had no idea why this woman from Brazil would spread rumors about the Empress.
Xue Biqian stood ramrod straight! That wasn't spreading rumors, just casual talk. Besides, wasn't it because Qing'e Palace acted inappropriately?
Xiong Baodie also stared at Qing'e. What did she mean by that?
Huan Yue sat there lazily, as if none of these people had come.
Xiong Baodie sneered: "You ill-mannered country bumpkin."
Di Baose looked at her newly manicured nails and thought, "The Xiong family is really finished."
The Xiong family's maids and wives hurriedly stopped Xiong Baodie, saying that sitting there made her the Crown Princess. Although Xiong Baodie wanted to be the Crown Princess, she was actually far from qualified.
Guo Bing sipped his tea, looking quite relaxed.
There's no need to even think about Yang Chu'er, a nobody like her. Secretly glancing at Xiong Baodie, she's rich, but she's brainless.
They should apologize as soon as possible; these people probably have some sense of shame, or they think Qing'e Palace is easy to bully.
Most people, seeing how frail the empress was, wouldn't believe she had such great strength.
Yang Chu'er witnessed the Empress carrying a basin weighing several hundred kilograms. If it weren't for its difficult shape, she could have carried even heavier ones.
She's incredibly strong; anyone who underestimates her will be in trouble. Anyway, since she wasn't going to send her the rare book, Yang Chu'er dozed off.
Madam Qiu apologized to Consort Huan and presented her with a piece of the finest mutton-fat jade.
Huan Yue looked at the jade; it was truly exquisite.
One gram can sell for 100,000 yuan? That's 200 taels of silver? A piece like this weighs five or six jin, its value isn't just 10,000 taels of gold, it's tens of thousands.
Fang Jieyu looked at it and thought that even this dragon-patterned inkstone paled in comparison.
The Qiu family still has some good things; this mutton fat jade is definitely not unique. Even Madam Qiu doesn't seem to feel the pain of losing her own flesh.
Huan Yue didn't care because she was vulgar.
Even if this mutton fat jade is worth a lot, can it be eaten as food?
Guo Bing knew what she was thinking, and a bright smile appeared on her cold face.
Di Baose could guess that too, enough already! She needed to eat, and she also wanted the jade.
As for the jade, everyone simply didn't bother to say anything.
Xue Biqian called out to Guo Liangdi, "You're not doing so well these days?"
So Xiaolian slapped Xue Biqian.
How could you casually complain in the palace? Complaining is a death sentence! No matter how bad things were in the palace, sometimes you still had to say it was great.
Besides, where did Xue Biqian get the idea that Guo Liangdi was bad?
Guo Liangdi didn't end up with dead fish eyes, but Xue Biqian was ugly instead.
Xue Biqian covered her face, her eyes wide with disbelief!
Xiao Lian slapped her again! Doesn't she have any basic manners when dealing with Guo Liangdi?
Xue Biqian was to become the Crown Princess, and she was waiting for Consort Guo to serve her tea.
"Idiot!" Xiaolian slapped herself so hard her hand hurt.
The Xue family's daughter-in-law, protecting her mistress, questioned, "What is Lady Huan doing?"
Di Baose sneered: "Guo Liangdi doesn't even know who you are, yet you dare to say that Guo Liangdi invited you. Your skin is so thick, Xiaolian's hands are hurting."
Xiao Lian snorted: "A mere servant dares to question Your Highness? Is the Xue family plotting a rebellion?"
No. The Xue family thought he was very noble.
