Fang Tang stood aside and watched the show.
Fang Tang isn't particularly beautiful, and her family background isn't as prestigious as the Xue or Xiong families, but she lives a very carefree life now.
Her Majesty is truly not a petty person. But your blatant disrespect is unacceptable.
The Xue and Xiong families may have some influence, but how can they compare to the royal family?
Even the emperor has issued an edict; if they still refuse to face reality, that won't do.
Fang Tang wondered how they chose the person. Back in Sheng'an, Consort Huan was a socialite and a very famous lady.
Despite her seemingly innocent demeanor, Di Baose is capable of being on par with Consort Huan when she gets serious.
How can a country bumpkin from out of town compare to a prestigious family like Sheng'an? Isn't that just plain stupid?
Perhaps they could impersonate the Crown Princess in advance? Is that something they can do?
Huan Yue was quite comfortable and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Xue Biqian and Xiong Baodie stared at Qing'e, wondering why she wasn't dead.
The Xiong family's maidservant was anxious to get Consort Di to intercede on their behalf.
Di Baose is going to die laughing! She pleaded for Xiong Baodie to become the Crown Princess, but Di Baose dug her own grave?
Another relative of the Li family, Jin Tiantian, has a chance to shine.
The Jin family is not as good as the Xiong family or the Xue family, but she is the Crown Prince's legitimate cousin.
Jin Tiantian is also dignified in appearance. She is not too beautiful, but she is pleasing to the eye. Unlike Di Baose, who is flamboyant, she is the most suitable.
Jin Tiantian presented a painting to Lady Huan.
Huan Yue remained silent. After all, it wasn't meant for her to see, and she was too lazy to bother.
Di Baose didn't want to move either; her specialty was needlework.
Jin Tiantian gave her a purse, saying, "Please excuse my poor attempt to flatter you."
Di Baose didn't hold back at all: "It really is pretty bad. Don't you have any self-awareness? You dare to show it to us? Don't even mention Ju Zhaoxun, Shanni did a better job than you."
Sunny glanced at it; the purse really wasn't very good. It was decent enough to be considered average, but was it really suitable for showing off in the palace?
Jin Tiantian's maidservant grew anxious: "Look carefully."
Di Baose angrily retorted, "How come you're all so ill-mannered? You think you can embarrass yourselves in the Eastern Palace? You're even bad at washing clothes!"
Jin Tiantian was so frightened that she quickly called out, "Cousin!"
Di Baose sneered, "Shameless. My Di family has no relatives like you."
Relatives are definitely counted, but if Di Baose says they don't, then they don't. Who's going to argue with her?
The maid said, "Miss likes Consort Di the most."
Di Baose ordered, "Drag this thing out and give it fifty strokes of the cane."
Yes! The eunuch dragged the person away.
Jin Tiantian didn't react.
Xue Biqian said, "The Crown Prince's Palace treats human life so lightly."
Di Baose pointed at her daughter-in-law: "Drag her out and give her fifty strokes of the cane."
The eunuchs came to drag people away. So what if they're servants of the Xue family? If someone from the Xue family is disrespectful in the palace, what can the Xue family say?
Xue Biqian panicked and shouted at Qing'e, "Stop it!"
Guo Bing said, "Slap him!"
Several palace maids held Xue Biqian down and whipped her. Even though Consort Guo hadn't summoned her, she dared to claim she'd been invited. With such poor upbringing, wasn't the Xue family practically forging an imperial edict?
She felt that Consort Guo should invite her. Did the Xue family think that even the emperor had to do as he pleased?
Consort Fang thought to herself, "The Eastern Palace was unstable before. Now it is."
There have been major changes in the court, and the Xue family wants to make a name for themselves? And they want to be both the Crown Prince and a member of the Grand Secretariat? Even Consort Fang has no idea what they're dreaming of.
In the harem, Consort Shen currently lacks a strong background. The Zhu family is average, the Li family is merely wealthy, and her Fang family is also average. It seems none of them are particularly powerful. Therefore, it's acceptable for someone to keep an eye on the harem, but otherwise, they might set their sights on Princess Zheng.
However, these people were also amusing, thinking that Consort Cui was finished and Prince Zheng was going to go to sea again, so they looked down on her.
The Fang family doesn't have a suitable girl, otherwise even Consort Fang would like Prince Zheng.
However, the sage will take care of King Zheng's lifelong happiness.
With the Emperor's favor and the Crown Prince's favor, how could Prince Zheng not be good?
Once he achieves merit, his status may surpass that of the King of Wu.
Princess Zheng is enjoying a life of leisure without having to worry like Princess Peng.
Huan Yue planned to have Princess Peng choose a wife for Prince Zheng, since the Wen family had extensive connections and could find a suitable girl.
Jin Tiantian was frightened.
Xiong Baodie was also startled. She had spread rumors, so she stared at Qing'e with an uncertain expression.
Huan Yue didn't care; after all, the Xiong family's money wasn't something she could decide.
Madam Qiu was very flustered! Qing'e was really not an easy person to deal with.
Another Lady Li came over and kowtowed to Lady Huan, saying, "My son is a scoundrel."
The Li family is quite large. This woman is probably the cousin of the Lady of Yan, and the Crown Prince is the Lady of Yan's grandson.
However, the Crown Prince never met his biological mother, who died too young, and his maternal grandmother died even earlier. Therefore, he was closer to Di Chang and even closer to Lady Qiang of Cao State. It's not that he forgot the Li family, but that's the gist of it.
Mrs. Li was quite regretful: "He was out fooling around all day."
Di Baose asked, "Then why don't you teach them properly? Do you know what it means to spread rumors about the Crown Prince?"
Madam Li wept.
Di Baose said, "I can give you a chance, just this once."
Madam Li turned around and kowtowed to her.
Di Baose retorted, "Isn't the war still going on? A real man doesn't just talk the talk, let's get down to business and fight!"
Madam Li's face turned pale!
Di Baose sneered: "I have no reason to harm him. Guo Liangdi's whole family is on the battlefield. It is an honor to make contributions for the Great Zhao! There are so many demons and monsters in Sheng'an. If he can wake up and make contributions after leaving Sheng'an, he will be worthy of the Lady of Yan! My grandmother was such a wise person, and none of my family members are not making progress."
Fang Jieyu's eyes swept over, and even the least promising member of the Di family had improved.
Di Baose snorted, "Even her needlework was taught to her by her grandmother."
How could Madam Li bear to do that? People would die on the battlefield.
Jin Tiantian said, "How could you be so heartless?"
Di Baose stood up.
Jin Tiantian was terrified.
Several palace maids beat Xue Biqian and then started whipping Jin Tiantian.
Jin Tiantian screamed, and she just said something casually.
Di Baose sat down again. Did she think everything she said was just casual talk? Her words were like lotus blossoms.
Madam Li wept, for even if she didn't go to the battlefield, she would still die; the imperial edict was no joke.
It's hard to say about Consort Fang. Someone like Lady Cui, who went to sea for the Prince of Zheng, made a huge fuss.
Madam Li wanted to plead with the Empress, "My son is still young..."
Huan Yue said coldly and ruthlessly: "Spoiling a child is like killing him."
Di Baose chuckled: "A seventeen-year-old spreading rumors about the Empress? Still young? Lü Wenren went to the battlefield at thirteen!"
Huan Yue said, "Don't compare everyone to General Lü."
Guo Bingbing coldly replied: "Indeed. Thirteen or fourteen years old is really too young, and they'll be at a disadvantage against adults."
Huan Yue said, "The tiger is still a cub and it has to go hunting! When it grows up, it will be king!"
Guo Bing nodded, "That's right!"
Fang Tang was full of admiration! General Lü, who was only fourteen years old after the New Year, had already made great contributions in battle!
So what are those spoiled brats in Sheng'an who spread rumors for no reason doing?
Madam Li also wanted her son to make a name for himself, but her son was not worthy.
Di Baose said, "Didn't Lü Wenren have a biological mother? Only Lady Jing could be granted the title of Lady Shouyang."
General Lü had five sons; he kept three with him, while the other two were too young to be carried on to Sheng'an.
Jin Tiantian was scolded and felt extremely wronged.
Di Baose mischievously cried out, "Cousin~~~"
Jin Tiantian quickly covered her face while looking towards the door.
