morning.
Xie Zhou held his wife in his arms; she was warm and he didn't want to get up.
But the eunuchs outside were ignorant and had already urged them to hurry.
Xie Zhou was very distressed, but he had no choice but to get up.
The eunuch hid in a safe place.
Xie Zhou glared at him. "You idiot! Aren't you going to serve me?"
The servants and the messengers were not on the same team, which made the servants very nervous.
The messenger quickly relayed the message: "Last night, rats from the Kingdom of Great Stone ran into the Duke of Qi's mansion. The Duke of Qi had them all tied up, and there were more than a dozen rats holding a meeting!"
Xie Zhou was stunned.
The eunuchs continued to serve, which did not affect anything.
Xie Zhou thought that Xie Yue probably wouldn't come up with such a trick, but there were probably others who wanted to use him to cause trouble.
After all, he was once the Empress's legitimate son and had a very good reputation. Would anyone else be willing to accept that?
As for the Great Stone Kingdom and the Wunu Kingdom, they are too far away, and their impressions of them are probably still stuck a few years ago.
Even after leaving Sheng'an Prefecture, many people will still remember Empress Dong. This kind of change may take a long time, or it may not be able to be changed for a long time.
The imperial court must take this situation into account when it needs to do something.
And try to change this situation. As for the Great Stone Kingdom, don't change it, otherwise they'll play even better.
As for Xie Yu, we should certainly remain skeptical, but we can't go overboard. We need to reassure him when necessary.
Otherwise, who would dare to change their ways in the future? This involves a process of rebuilding trust. It's also a consequence he must bear himself.
Huan Yue got up; the snow had stopped.
Di Baose ran over cheerfully and boasted to her, "Did you know? A bunch of rats got into the Duke of Qi's mansion."
Huan Yue asked, "Isn't this forcing the Duke of Qi to dig three feet into the ground in his own mansion?"
The eunuch stood at the door, utterly impressed! That's exactly what the Duke of Qi did!
Because the Duke of Qi's mansion is quite large, and it's snowing now, it's hard to say where one might hide.
Why not just ask the Imperial Guards to dig it up? Even if there was a tunnel there before, they could dig it up. That way, we won't get scammed later.
Huan Yue said sympathetically, "I imagine the Duke of Qi is very annoyed."
Di Baose needs to understand: "Can't you just be a good person in peace?"
Guo Bing strolled over slowly and chimed in, "It's hard to be a good person."
Huan Yue said, "So objectively speaking, the King of Wu is not a bad person."
Guo Bing nodded, and dared to say anything: "There are plenty of rats running into my house too."
Huan Yue nodded: "Of course. Your family is responsible for the security of Xiya. Although that place is not wealthy, it is extremely important."
They are especially known for their fierce and unruly nature; if they are not properly managed, even more trouble will arise.
Therefore, Guo Bing prefers a certain degree of understanding rather than being suspicious of the Guo family.
Once an emperor becomes suspicious, life becomes unbearable, as there are too many people below him who can cause trouble.
Even the Guo family can't guarantee that nothing will happen. Otherwise, they might fabricate charges.
Or it could be like tricking ordinary people into getting drugs; it's not surprising that such schemes are set up.
Guo Jiaming is wise, but who can say that everyone from top to bottom is so clear-headed?
All we can do is try our best to manage it. Just like Zhao has many flaws, but many people are also trying to improve it.
A palace attendant came to report: "Princess Guanghua wishes to bring her eldest daughter, Yan Shu, to pay respects to Her Majesty."
Huan Yue thought for a long time but still couldn't remember who it was.
The eunuch hurriedly explained, "She's from the Prince of E's residence. She lost her mother at a young age and had a very difficult time in the residence. It was the Empress Dowager who bestowed upon her the title of Princess, giving her a place in the household. Princess Guanghua is not only intelligent but also practiced Taoism for the Empress Dowager. After the Empress Dowager arranged her marriage, she continued to practice Taoism every day. In terms of Taoist skills, there are probably not many people who can compare to her."
Huan Yue suddenly realized: "So Miss Yan doesn't like it that much?"
The eunuch wasn't sure. Perhaps Princess Guanghua would tell the Empress.
Do these princesses and county princesses ever have problems? Sometimes they do.
For example, since she cultivates Taoism, those from the Chan Sect don't flirt with her.
However, Princess Guanghua has been practicing Taoism for many years, keeps a low profile, and has the support of the royal family, so there is no need to be so afraid.
There are many in Sheng'an who are devoted to cultivating Taoism, but none of them are as focused on it as Princess Guanghua.
Huan Yue thought she might have ascended to heaven.
Or we can just write it like this from now on.
Although he was a Taoist, and Qing'e Palace had a habit of taking care of Princess Guanghua, Huan Yue did not intend to talk about it further.
She's still a beautiful young woman now; she can talk about cultivating herself when she's in her forties or fifties, when men prefer young beauties.
Back then, my mother moved into Changchun Temple and peacefully cultivated Taoism. Even the emperor could go to heaven if he wanted.
Di Baose had no recollection of Yan Shu: "Isn't it inappropriate for her mother to act this way?"
Guo Bing was relatively objective: "Whether it's good or not, we'll see after we meet the person."
Whether a parent is good to their child or not cannot be judged simply.
The snow has stopped.
Xie Li and Xie Jie came over to play again.
If you can't run away on your own, you must have your wet nurse bring you over.
The wet nurse brought Juro over as well.
Huan Yue took the child, who was very well-behaved and growing up quickly.
Sun felt that he was getting heavier every day, and it was definitely not because he was wearing thick clothes.
His eyebrows and eyes resembled the sage more, or perhaps his ninth brother.
Xie Jie is not proud at all.
Xie Li was very unhappy. What was so fun about his younger brother? He was always competing with him for attention.
The second brother forbids anyone from getting close to his wife, so why is she allowed to hug the tenth brother? He doesn't want to grow up either!
Huan Yue admonished: "Boys should be like tigers, having their own territory; they should be like eagles, soaring in the sky!"
The baby wants to cry! He doesn't have wings, how can he fly?
Huan Yue thought to himself, "There's so much to it, and you still say you don't understand? You'll understand in the future."
Xie Jie pretended to know a lot, as if he couldn't wait to run away.
The palace maids watched from behind, amused. Where did they learn to raise chicks? The palace doesn't raise chickens yet.
Perhaps this is the cub's instinct? Maybe if they fly a little longer, they'll eventually take to the skies?
The Empress once said, "Don't limit a child's imagination, and don't take things for granted." Anyway, flying doesn't bother anyone else.
Don't think he's stupid; he might be smarter than anyone else.
The palace maids were just there to entertain him. Wouldn't it be interesting if they could fly?
We must be good at overturning and good at creating!
Lady Shan observed that many people in the palace had been led astray by the Empress. After all, many in the palace were young and lacked maturity and composure.
The Empress is causing so much trouble, and even the Emperor doesn't care; everyone seems encouraged by this.
Huan Yue thought to himself, "There aren't any madmen like her yet, like those who cut down her ginkgo tree."
Outside Xuande Gate, it was still bustling with activity.
Even without an empress or an imperial concubine, how could the palace possibly fall apart?
Many people have come to ask Lady Huan for help. They didn't understand her methods before, but today someone came to deliver saplings!
Exotic flowers and rare plants, precious saplings—gifting the right things can make her happy.
Besides, even if the Empress doesn't accept it, it wouldn't be a problem to let her take it back.
This ebony is also excellent for making bonsai. Giving it as a gift, even in a beautiful pot, is a treasure.
Perhaps sending saplings is secondary; this potted plant is the main thing.
Many hands make light work.
So many people want to give gifts to Consort Huan, we must keep giving them until she is satisfied!
Even if it's the stars in the sky, we'll find a way to pluck them down for her!
A very inconspicuous car was parked at the entrance.
They didn't stay long before quietly going inside again.
Outside, a group of people holding saplings looked at each other, wanting to peek over the car to see if there were any rare orchids inside.
A fine orchid is worth a fortune.
If Consort Huan likes orchids, then orchids can be sold at a high price!
Some people can start stocking up, since there are quite a few people who grow orchids.
