It's so cold when I wake up early.
Xie Zhou held his wife and slept a little longer.
Huan Yue glared at him. "Aren't you going to hold court this morning?"
Xie Zhou was worried that the morning court sessions would all be about having a son.
Huan Yue asked curiously, "Do you think your son doesn't want to come anymore?"
Xie Zhou was stunned!
Why doesn't his son want to come?
Because of the four children she conceived in her previous life, none of them survived. Di Baose had five, and they all died.
So his past life was a lie! He couldn't possibly be that stupid! It was all a dream!
Xie Zhou hugged his wife, as if comforting himself: "How could he not come? Look, even Shi Lang is eager to come. He must just be playing around."
Fine, he's finished coming up with an excuse. Huan Yue didn't care at all.
Xie Zhou looked at his wife. Did she really not want to have a baby with him?
Huan Yue was going with the flow. If things really didn't work out, he could just raise any of the princes.
Xie Zhou didn't object; after all, it was still a long way off. His father was still alive; thinking too much about it would be disrespectful.
It was still early, so Xie Zhou got up and told his wife to go back to sleep.
He spoils his wife so much, does his son know that?
Anyway, my wife doesn't want to have children so early. It's easier to raise a few younger brothers first, and it would be much better to have more children later.
Huan Yue didn't sleep for long either.
After getting ready, let's go visit Qiuxiang Courtyard.
The tenth prince will naturally be raised here. The eighth and ninth princes are in the east wing, and the tenth prince is arranged in the west wing.
Even though the baby was born at full term, you still need to be careful when the baby is young.
Sun Shi and Ping Xiang watched as the tidying up was almost complete.
Pingxiang was speechless. Qiansha had prepared a lot of things for the little princess, but she hadn't prepared anything for the prince.
Huan Yue thought it was fine to use his brothers' things, since all the ones that Balang and Jiulang had used had been cleaned up anyway.
Seeing how frugal the Empress was, Madam Sun thought that if Qian Sha had any objections, she could take her son back with her.
"Your Majesty~~~" Balang crawled over and hugged his second sister-in-law's leg, crying.
Huan Yue hugged him and asked, "Aren't you happy to be a big brother? Having more brothers is a good thing."
Hachiro hugged his second sister-in-law and acted spoiled, but everyone ignored his younger brother, which he could barely accept.
Huan Yue gave him to the wet nurse, whether she accepted him or not was up to her. He had spoiled him.
"Your Majesty~~~" Jiulang was very happy, his face was all smiles from the morning, he was a handsome little boy.
Huan Yue said, "Both the Eighth and Ninth Princes are eating complementary foods and can be weaned. Let's see who wants to go home and make preparations. Of course, we will remember the merit of raising the princes."
Everyone knows that.
Jia said, "This servant wants to go back."
Huan Yue nodded: "Just tell me if you need anything in the future."
Lady Jia expressed her gratitude.
Living in constant fear in the palace, it's better to go back and take care of your own children.
Lady Ding and Lady Xuan were not in a hurry to go back; staying in the Eastern Palace was quite nice for them.
Huan Yue and Di Baose ate breakfast together.
An urgent letter from Gong Shanyuan was delivered by a palace attendant.
Di Baose asked, "What did you encounter on the way?"
Shi Qingzhu took the letter, read it, and then reported to the Empress and Consort Di: "This is no small matter. So many fields were allocated around Zichan Mountain, and someone took the opportunity to set a trap for the farmers and took the fields back."
So what's the court doing all this time? The common people still have no land, and new powerful families are replacing the old ones?
Fang Tang, who was well-informed, said, "This matter has been brewing for a while now. They probably got bolder because the court didn't react."
Huan Yue nodded and continued.
The imperial court wasn't unresponsive; it was just too busy.
Fang Tang's information network was not only well-informed but also extensive: "The area around Zichan Mountain is full of good places. Most of the powerful clans from before had connections with Zichan Mountain, but they have been largely wiped out, leaving the area virtually empty. Or rather, it's just a flock of sheep with no wolves. Such a large piece of meat, such a large flock of fat sheep, naturally attracts people to go and eat it."
Di Baose snorted coldly, "Nonsense!"
Why do sheep need wolves? What is the imperial court doing?
But what do the local government offices do? The new officials sent there by the imperial court should be quite capable, right?
Huan Yue couldn't worry about all that; he would wait until he reported to the Emperor, and then the rest would be known after a simple investigation.
Di Baose felt this matter absolutely had to be addressed! If one beating wasn't enough to wake them up, then beating them a few more times! Let's see which wolf still dares to risk their life then?
Shi Qingzhu looked at the letter and noticed another detail: "This newly appointed top scholar, Fu Dingchen, originally planned to go to the capital but has decided to go with Gong Shanyuan and the others, intending to help the common people."
Huan Yue was stunned.
Di Baose put down the bowl.
Shi Qingzhu read aloud a poem written by Fu Dingchen.
Guo Bing came over and thought, "This is a fine poem! The level of praise is different from everyone else."
Huan Yue said, "It's good for scholars to travel and see more of the world."
Fang Tang blinked, wondering if something was wrong. She was looking forward to seeing what would happen.
Huan Yue looked at her, wondering if the information had gotten out of hand.
Fang Tang blinked. How could she possibly know everything? But the imperial court was in need of talent, and having capable people was a good thing.
This year is a bit different; perhaps we can select quite a few capable individuals.
Talent is also the foundation for a prosperous era.
Although there is no shortage of talent in the apocalypse, they are actually unappreciated because of their talents.
That prosperous era is meant to give them opportunities. Even if there isn't one in a thousand years, ten of them can be as good as one.
Fang Tang did know one thing: "The Xue family isn't finished yet; they're going to make a comeback during this spring imperial examination."
Di Baose asked, "How did you get here?"
Fang Tang blinked: "Should we continue the war or make peace? The Wunu Kingdom naturally wants to return the land to them, but the Sage said he would destroy them."
Give the land back to him? Don't even think about it.
Continuing the fight now risks a desperate, last-ditch effort, like a cornered beast fighting a losing battle. Destroying a major power requires many conditions.
If you have the right timing, location, and people, things will be much easier.
So this is more like taking a break before fighting again, but those Confucian scholars will definitely try to make their presence felt.
Di Baose sneered: "The soldiers fought so hard, and you think they can just talk their way out of it?"
Guo Bing nodded. How many people died in this battle? Even if you include the entire Xue family, it's just a tiny fraction.
Of all those who study, how many truly serve the country and its people? So sending a batch to General Lü would be a good idea.
If a scholar doesn't have the brains, he should shut up! Does he think others are brainless and therefore he can boss them around?
Huan Yue stood up, and everyone prepared to go to the inner palace.
Qian Sha is temporarily staying at Mingyang Palace.
Because she gave birth to a prince but was unwilling to raise him, she was not promoted.
Qian Sha acted as if she didn't care; a beautiful woman like her was living a very comfortable life in the palace.
Huan Yue thought she might be being overly sensitive.
Being able to be delicate is her blessing; isn't Huan Yue just trying to make everyone delicate?
A large group of people came out of Xuanfu Gate and happened to run into Princess Peng.
Wenmiao has been married for more than half a year, but there is still no good news.
However, he was living a very comfortable life and had a harmonious relationship with Prince Peng.
Huan Yue asked, "Did you know that Jing Wei is pregnant?"
Wenmiao smiled and nodded: "She also wanted to return to the capital after the harvest, but it seems she won't be able to leave."
After all, she's a daughter-in-law of the Chang family; it's not good for her to keep going to Sheng'an.
Even if something happens, just let someone else handle it.
It's not entirely safe on the road, so it's much better to stay safe and secure in Baishi Village.
It is said that after the renovation of Baishi Village, more people went there than expected, fortunately because the place is large.
Wenmiao asked, "Are you ready?"
Huan Yue had an idea when he pulled his sister-in-law aside. To be honest, she was unwilling.
