The cook made sweet potato pancakes and brought them over.
Huan Yue thinks the cook is really amazing!
This isn't just one kind, but four kinds; they look beautiful and smell delicious, making the kids drool with envy.
Huan Yue smiled and told the wet nurse to feed half a fruit to Balang and Jiulang respectively, so that Yan Boxuan could eat one.
One wasn't very big, and Lu Wen ate one but wanted two; it just wasn't enough.
A palace attendant ran in to report: "Ji Ling knelt at the gate of the Lü family. This move is just like the Ji family. Several of the Ji brothers are so fierce that they want to beat up General Lü and even want to smash the gate of the Lü family."
Lu Wen was furious!
Even Yan Boxuan was furious! Was he trying to steal his sweet potatoes?
The eunuch paused normally, not taking a deep breath, and continued, "The Lü family kept their doors closed, while the Ji family caused trouble. Suddenly, a lot of women came, grabbed weapons, and beat up the men of the Ji family. They even knocked Ji Ling over and beat her."
Lu Wenhe almost rolled his eyes and fainted.
Di Baose was extremely excited.
The eunuchs found it fascinating: "There are musicians, commoners from Sheng'an, and some young ladies. Even some female knights-errant, who can't stand the Ji family's slander of General Lü's entire family. General Lü is fighting desperately on the battlefield, and the Ji family is so shameless, so the female knights-errant have already gone to the Ji family. They've all run to the Ji family to watch the show."
Di Baose slapped her thigh; she wanted to go see it too!
It doesn't matter who's instigating these people!
The eunuch finally reported to the Empress: "Ji Ling's hair has been plucked out; she looks terrible."
"Oh," the maid said regretfully. "We can't grow sweet potatoes now."
Huan Yue said, "Then let's get to the bottom of this. Ji Ling shouldn't make a scene. If she can't explain herself and she's falsely accusing General Lü, she'll have to bear the consequences."
Guo Bing nodded: "If the Ji family becomes the weaker party, people will definitely say that the Lü family is bullying others by taking advantage of their power."
Di Baose sneered: "Ji Ling and the Lü family aren't direct relatives. Just because she managed to get molested there doesn't mean she's shameless!"
Normally, two people shouldn't be together, especially since there was the Ji family causing trouble at the Wen family first, and then Ji Ling trying to force herself on him.
Lu Wen asked the Empress, "Why do I feel like this is imitating what I did back then?"
Huan Yue nodded: "There must be someone behind this. But Ji Ling's status is no match for yours, and the men of the Ji family are no match for General Lü. General Lü can't show his face right now, but the Ji family needs to be dealt with."
Lu Wen gritted his teeth!
Her brother is only fourteen years old. If this reputation were to spread, it would be very unpleasant.
Because Lü Wenren was born out of wedlock, does that mean Ji Ling, feeling wronged, should remain a wife instead of a concubine? She's dreaming!
A palace attendant came to report: "His Majesty has ordered the Court of Judicial Review to investigate General Lü's matter."
Lu Wenhe was relieved.
This matter is not simple. First, it caused trouble for the Wen family, then for the Lü family, shaking the civil and military officials of the Great Zhao.
Does the Ji family deserve it?
Lu Wen thought for a moment and said, "Back then, when the Ji family partnered with Pei Huanxu, there must have been something behind the scenes."
Huan Yue nodded: "If it dares to betray Great Zhao, it will be dealt with according to the laws of Great Zhao."
Before long, another eunuch came to report: "Those chivalrous women are amazing. They wrecked the Ji family's house and brought out the delegation from the Great Stone Kingdom."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
This is no coincidence.
The Ji family probably didn't expect this, did they? General Lü is now a top star!
Huan Yue thought to himself, "He truly deserves to be called a top-tier tough guy! The things his brainless fans do aren't actually brainless."
Guo Bing coldly said, "The Great Stone Kingdom is quite comfortable in the Great Zhao Kingdom."
Huan Yue nodded, "Yes, how can an envoy go to the Ji family so casually?"
Di Baose sneered: "Since we can go anywhere in Great Zhao, where can't we go?"
Huan Yue nodded: "Therefore, it is necessary for the Great Stone Kingdom to understand a principle."
Gong Yun clenched her fist: "This is the Great Zhao!"
Fang Tang exploded: "If the Great Stone Kingdom can't give a satisfactory answer this time, then don't blame the Great Zhao for not remembering our years of friendship!"
Huan Yue thinks she's acceptable!
Fang Tang thought to herself, "The Empress has wanted to attack the Great Stone Kingdom for a long time, so from the Great Stone Kingdom's perspective, it's not wrong."
Whoever is strong has the final say, so there's only one thing the Great Zhao can do: become strong! Stronger than anyone else!
Lu Wen said, "When did the Ji family become spies of the Great Stone Kingdom?"
The maidservant angrily said, "This time, we should investigate him thoroughly and even dig up his ancestral graves!"
Lu Wenhe was thinking: "Does my aunt know? Or has she turned my uncle into a spy as well? And... has it implicated my mother?"
Gong Yun quickly said, "Don't think nonsense."
If things continue like this, General Lü is doomed.
A line stretched this long? A sage is no foolish mortal.
Huan Yue and Guo Bing exchanged a glance. They thought that perhaps they could investigate Madam Cen's matter, even if it was not good for General Lü. But it was better to investigate thoroughly than to remain confused. They decided to investigate quietly.
Lu Wenhe hardened his tone: "Even if my uncle isn't, he must have had his share of designs on my mother."
Ju Zhaoxun nodded, "That's true."
Huan Yue could only say, "Perhaps Cen Qiang didn't get anything good from your mother and is just angry and ashamed."
Lu Wen clenched his fist: "Beast!"
Gong Yun comforted her, saying, "Your mother is definitely innocent."
Huan Yue thought about it and said, "That's not necessarily true."
He might have been deceived, but at that time Lü Liang was not yet a great general.
Cen realized, or something, that some things were destined to be buried and there was no need to dig them up.
But Cen Qiang still wanted to investigate.
Don't assume that all the blame is being directed at the Ji family. Does Cen Qiang think he can escape?
The eunuch came to report: "Ji has come to plead for mercy."
Huan Yue asked a palace maid to bring him a hand warmer.
Ren Zhaoxun suddenly burst into laughter! The fox fur coat isn't warm enough?
Is this meant to make her sweat? Even running in the cold wind and snow will make her sweat.
The palace maids were taking what they used; would it be a waste to give away good things?
The eunuch didn't care; this was considered giving Lü Wenhe face.
As for the Ji family's collusion with the Great Stone Kingdom, it wouldn't matter if you begged Consort Huan or even the Emperor.
Do you think the emperor would let this go easily? Wouldn't the Grand Secretary be furious with him?
The Grand Secretary might not be able to, but Wei Zhi can wait and see.
Therefore, being an emperor is not easy.
Of course, the emperor wasn't someone you could just insult casually.
Wei Zhi's outspoken remonstrances were always clear and straightforward, or he would deliberately make things difficult for himself.
Smuggling in personal items requires extreme caution; you have to wait for the right opportunity to do so.
The lady-in-waiting asked the Empress, "Should we prepare more?"
Huan Yue said, "That works too."
If more and more people come to plead for leniency, it wouldn't be good to let them go home empty-handed.
Di Baose chuckled: "I'm afraid of people making things up in their heads."
Huan Yue laughed and said, "Just keep patching it up."
Gong Yun nodded. If the Empress sends too many gifts, everyone will know it doesn't have any special meaning.
As for whether he can truly overcome this, that depends on his own good deeds.
They come to your door begging, they seem pitiful, but if you give them something, even if it's insignificant, it might actually be of some use.
Our Empress wins people over with virtue.
Outside Xuande Gate.
Ji was dressed in a white fox fur coat, looking quite imposing.
Even those who wanted to hit her couldn't bring themselves to do so.
In fact, Ji was in a very bad situation, and some people just came to watch for fun.
Then Ji slammed the hand warmer hard into the snow.
The officials came and took Ji away.
This wasn't because of the hand warmer, but because the Ji family discovered it was closely related to the Ji clan.
This white fox fur coat is exceptionally dazzling.
