It was snowing heavily; the winter solstice was approaching.
Huan Yue stayed in Chengen Hall, where it was very warm.
Princess Yongning, Xie Fufu, Yan Boxuan, and several others studied here.
Xie Li and Xie Jie crawled on the ground, stood up and took a few steps, then crawled on the ground again.
Yan Boxuan's work is graffiti, or perhaps not even that, but thankfully it hasn't been spread around.
Xie Li seemed to like it, but he couldn't even walk; the painting was far beyond his capabilities. So, all he had to do was crawl to his second sister-in-law's side.
Xie Jie circled around the platform, covered with a blanket so she wouldn't bump into it.
Di Baose came over and sat down in the chair.
Huan Yue looked at her. What's wrong?
Di Baose said, "Didn't the Xiong family come again? They didn't dare to block Xuande Gate, but they did block the Di family."
Huan Yue asked, "Was it blocked with silver? I thought the snow had sealed the door, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be silver!"
Zhu Jin was amused.
Di Baose was still angry: "The Xiong family and the Li family don't have much of a relationship anymore, what kind of nonsense is it to block my house?"
Huan Yue said, "Because you are beautiful."
Di Baose rolled her eyes. No matter how beautiful she was, what did she have to do with the Xiong family?
Fang Tang ran over.
Huan Yue wondered where she came from, covered in snow. Did she have a teleportation portal behind her?
Fang Tang said to the Empress, "It's big news. The Xiong family has found auspicious signs..." and gestured to Consort Di.
Di Baose was furious!
Huan Yue was quite interested: "What auspicious omen?"
Fang Tang said, "A rather large piece of yellow jade was discovered in Huangxu, with the birth dates and times of the two empresses of the Di family on it."
Huan Yue nodded: "If the girls from the Di family in the future are not suitable, then are there any for me?"
Fang Tang grew bolder: "Then Your Highness will have to go find them yourself. The Xiong family and Your Highness are not related."
Huan Yue asked, "What about the material of the yellow jade? It's not too low-grade, is it?"
Fang Tang said, "That really is a common stone in Huangxu. It's just bigger than jade."
Huan Yue asked, "Can I lift it up with one hand?"
Fang Tang was dumbfounded.
Di Baose was amused and burst into laughter!
Princess Yongning roughly understood and thought that her second sister-in-law's thought process was not wrong.
Fang Tang is completely in awe! She's utterly devoted to the Empress!
A mediocre stone, which Lady Huan could lift with one hand, has no weight to it.
Fang Tang asked, "How heavy can Your Highness carry now?"
Huan Yue asked, "You want to know?"
No, no, Fang Tang didn't want to know. Anyway, one bear probably couldn't control it.
The way the Xiong family courted death was quite unique.
Princess Yongning said, "You still want to deal with your second sister-in-law?"
Fang Tang said, "Of course! The Empress is too difficult to deal with! Even those Confucian scholars can't withstand her."
Some are dead, some have confessed; it will be difficult to do it again next time.
How shameful it would be if the recruited scholars wrote their own articles and posted them online! Which scholar would dare to approach them?
The Zhu family had no chance to retaliate, because they had uncovered a considerable amount of evidence, including forbidden books. Who would dare to play along with them?
General Gao returned immediately and went directly to Yushan, formerly Huanting.
With the momentum of a great victory, could Yu Shan withstand it even with eight hundred immortals and tens of thousands of protectors?
The situation regarding Huan Ting is unclear, but the execution of the Zuo family will not be delayed any longer.
What grudge did the Zuo family have against Lady Huan? Zhou You tried to frame her, but failed.
So, after going around in circles, we still have to start with the two beauties of Sheng'an.
Princess Changqing braved the wind and snow to enter the palace.
Huan Yue looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Oh right, the Xiong family blocked the door with their money, which affected the marriage.
Princess Changqing was quite straightforward here: "The Xiong family has gathered eighty beauties, including twenty young ladies from the Xiong, Shu, and Zhu families. Apart from those sent to the Crown Prince, everyone in the Di family except for the Duke of Yan has a share."
Di Baose really spat out her tea after taking a sip!
Fang Tang reacted quickly: "Is someone going to replace Di Liangdi?"
Princess Changqing knew that she was special, and since Consort Huan indulged her anyway: "Miss Xiong and Miss Zhu probably have this idea. Besides, isn't the Empress and the Imperial Noble Consort separated? She can be a lady-in-waiting."
Fang Tang was furious. How dare he try to steal her job?
The Princess of Changqing was amused!
Di Baose asked, "Does this mean that because the Empress is favored, the Imperial Noble Consort is also treated with respect?"
The Princess of Changqing said, "That's roughly the meaning. Or at least that's the meaning for now."
Fang Tang asked, "Why isn't the Xiong family in a hurry at all?"
Princess Changqing said, "Do people really think the Di family isn't tempted at all?"
Huan Yue said, "Merchants are always so understanding, but since he knows the Di family can't say it out loud, isn't he just setting up a trap by blocking their door like this?"
Fang Tang burst into laughter!
Princess Changqing said, "Perhaps they have some kind of confidence. They even ignore the sage's obvious meaning."
The plaque of "Xie's Restaurant" can be ignored, but the Crown Princess can perform sacrifices to Heaven. The Xiong family probably doesn't know this.
There are some things that are indeed unclear until you reach that level.
Huan Yue said, "Perhaps they think that everything in the world is negotiable, and it's all about winning or losing."
The Princess of Changqing shook her head. In any case, the Xiong family was courting death, and it was time to make preparations.
Even if it's slightly inferior, it's merely a matter of cost. If we let the Xiong family act so recklessly, what about the dignity of the royal family?
Sending beauties to Di Ye is one thing, but he hasn't remarried yet.
But sending beauties to Di Chang? Don't they know how businessmen are blind? Don't they even know how to judge people?
If Di Chang wanted beautiful women, the Emperor would have provided plenty. Were the ones from the Xiong family particularly appealing?
A palace attendant braved the wind and snow to deliver a message: "The letter from the Kingdom of Da Shi has arrived, and the delegation has entered Da Zhao."
Huan Yue asked, "How did the delegation get in?"
The eunuch reported, "We have had dealings with the Great Stone Kingdom before, but because of the weather and the need to reach Sheng'an before the New Year, we have to come in."
Huan Yue said, "It's his problem to be in a hurry. This isn't the first time the Kingdom of Dashi has come to Sheng'an. I wonder when they will deliver their letter?"
Princess Changqing nodded: "I'm afraid that there are still spies from the Great Zhao and the Great Shi Kingdom. If things continue like this, they can come whenever they want."
It's not surprising that there are spies; what's surprising is that these spies are of a high caliber.
Otherwise, would there still be any womanly compassion between the two countries? Are you kidding me?
Fang Tang said, "The visitor is not friendly."
Huan Yue nodded.
Fang Tang was hoping that the Empress could lift up that piece of yellow jade and smash it over there.
Huan Yue looked at her, wondering if she was really that savage.
Fang Tang agreed, saying that the Empress was virtuous and won people over with her virtue!
Di Baose asked, "Does the Xiong family have any connection with the Dashi Kingdom?"
The Princess of Changqing said, "That possibility cannot be ruled out. Merchants are all about profit and don't care what happens to the Great Zhao."
Huan Yue said, "Merchants like this should be executed! Anyway, if one family is gone, another will come along. If the next family dares to do it, then we can continue!"
The county magistrate of Changqing nodded.
The fact that the Xiong family blocked the Di family's door was truly unbearable.
A palace attendant came to deliver the message: "The imperial decree has been issued, and the entire Xiong family, including nine generations, is to be arrested."
Anyway, the Li family can't be counted in the nine generations.
However, the Shu family and the Zhu family are all part of the Xiong family's group.
Di Baose asked, "Could Jiangling rebel?"
Huan Yue said, "I'm not afraid of it rebelling."
While causing trouble is bad for ordinary people, it's best to clean it up now.
Otherwise, places like Zichan Mountain would have a whole host of other issues to discuss.
Just like the Pei family used to own land in Changhe County, they were able to get involved.
