Zichen Palace.
I'm in a great mood right now.
Having a son to boss around makes all the hard work in the past feel worthwhile.
Isn't a person's life all about raising a son and taking care of their father in old age?
He may not be old now, but he can't deny that he's getting old; looking at his son's youthful face, he wasn't insanely jealous.
She went to Qing'e Palace to find Sanlang, and the emperor did not stop her.
Second sister-in-law seeking out third uncle is a normal family affair. With Qing'e Palace helping to keep an eye on Sanlang, things will be much easier for them now.
Just like how Dalang and Wenshi get along well, their father doesn't have to worry. Although they don't have grandsons yet, they'll have them eventually.
The emperor asked Erlang, "How is Yan Wei?"
Xie Zhou honestly replied, "Your subject does not know."
I really don't know. I don't even know anything about the royal family or Princess Guanghua, let alone the person she married, Yan Wei.
Fortunately, the eunuch was prepared and interjected at the right time: "Yan Wei is a Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) who entered the Imperial Academy and has been a Doctor of the Five Classics since the princess married him. It is said that he teaches well, but that's all. Yan Wei's only son, Yan Xigu, has been studying at the Imperial Academy and is known for his talent."
Today, people lament, "A family of honest people, yet they raised a daughter who is so bold."
The eunuch replied in a low voice, "Yan Wei was also chosen by the princess herself."
The current trend is to say, "Like mother, like daughter. It's about choosing two extremes."
The eunuch could not accept such a response.
The Duke of Qi is a sensitive issue, but if he really wants to do research, he might be able to work with Dr. Yan.
Looking at the newly presented pot of orchids, the Emperor decreed: "Send it to the Qing'e Palace."
Xie Zhou glanced at it and was filled with jealousy.
I'll just glance at him now.
Xie Zhou busied himself with his work. Anyway, he figured he could get a piece of his wife's work.
This jade orchid is so lifelike; it's quite rare.
It's meaningful for a sage to appreciate orchids; even if it was just a casual gesture, it's still remarkable. Why didn't he casually appreciate them on others?
Even if Xie Zhou is a workaholic, all the benefits go to his wife.
The Grand Secretary is now speaking.
The eunuch was also unsure what opportunities Yan Wei might have; the Emperor's concerns were beyond his understanding. However, it wasn't bad that his daughter's outburst had brought her into the Emperor's sights.
Many people don't even have a chance to think about it. Yan Wei and Princess Guanghua earned this blessing through twenty years of keeping a low profile.
As far as the palace officials are concerned, Princess Guanghua is at least much more respectable than the Pei or Kong families, and she is also of royal blood.
How could that country bumpkin Kong Zhenjun compare? If Princess Guanghua had really come to beg, she might have been able to get it, but she didn't.
Even someone as reclusive as Princess Guanghua knew to seek out Consort Huan, which speaks volumes about Consort Huan's reputation.
Don't think that she's the only legitimate person in the palace. For matters concerning the royal family, you can ask Princess Song or Princess Yongqing.
But she chose Consort Huan, wasn't that brilliant?

Qing'e Palace, side hall.
Yan Shu dressed up, but she felt very uncomfortable sitting here.
Her makeup was done by Consort Huan; it was meant to be bright and elegant.
It was rather strange that Xie Yu was invited to Qing'e Palace and then led to a side hall by a eunuch.
However, he was waiting in the palace with nothing to do, so there was no harm in making a trip to the East Palace.
But then a beautiful woman appeared in front of him, and he almost shouted: "Monster!"
Is she trying to trick him again? He's unlikely to be a crown princess, but this girl's appearance is a bit too much for him to handle!
Palace maids and eunuchs were waiting outside.
Yan Shu was so excited that she didn't know what to say, and then she burst into tears.
The palace maids outside thought it was a normal reaction, but the Empress said she was too excited.
Xie Yu felt a chill run down his spine and wished he could run away immediately.
But he was well-mannered, so he kept his distance from the girl and avoided looking at her inappropriately.
Yan Shu adjusted her emotions and cried for a long time until she felt better.
Her face was as beautiful as a rainbow after the rain!
Nobody watches, and nobody knows if I'll look like an ugly monster.
"I...I..." Yan Shu hesitated for a long time but couldn't get it right, especially since Empress Huan had discouraged her.
You can't just say "I like you" directly, that would be really embarrassing!
Yan Shu hadn't prepared a purse or handkerchief, so she kept stealing glances at the scene; it was incredibly beautiful!
Xie Yu knows she's good-looking!
While it's hard to say who among the brothers is the best-looking, he's definitely one of the good-looking ones.
Xie Yu had seen many beauties, so he remained calm: "Don't be nervous. My second sister-in-law might have something to discuss with me. I'll go over there first."
Xie Yu really left!
Yan Shu was incredibly excited!
The guy spoke to her!
He told her not to be nervous and even explained things to her. How thoughtful!
I'll love my idol forever! I always told you he's a really good person, Yan Shu, keep it up!
Actually, as long as you put in the effort, many things aren't that difficult.
It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, and Yan Shu knew that the most difficult part of this matter was also the beginning.
The Duke of Qi is probably at the beginning of hell right now, but he will surely walk into the sunshine.
Yan Shu thought to herself, if she doesn't believe him, then who will? Maybe there are, but what does that have to do with her?
However, Yan Shu was too embarrassed to go to the main hall to discuss her affairs.
She stood at the entrance of the side hall, watching.
Maybe we'll be able to see each other every day and spend every day together. Just thinking about it makes me so excited!
Thank you, Mother and Empress Huan, for your kindness!
If they are truly not meant to be, she won't blame them; perhaps she'll cultivate herself and silently offer her blessings.
But at least you should have tried.
Although the Duke of Qi had a bad past, how many people don't have a shameful past?
Just like when the emperor was suppressed by the King of Wu, there was absolutely no brotherly affection and respect like there is now.
Her mother was pitiful when she was young, but she's been doing quite well after she remarried.
Some people in the Prince of E's mansion have died, and some are not as well off as the Yan family.
Yan Shu actually knows a lot.
She may not understand matters of the heart, but she will treat them with caution; this is no joke.
As Xie Yu emerged from the Qing'e Palace and stood on the platform, she saw a fiery gaze fixed on her from the entrance of the side hall.
Xie Yu glanced at her again; she was a spoiled girl who hadn't grown up yet.
He got off the platform.
Yan Shu kept staring at it; it was so beautiful!
Although she was unfilial, her father was indeed not that good-looking, and neither was her brother.
Xie Yu was so stared at that she could barely walk! She'd never seen anyone so brazen!
Indeed, women are all unrestrained in their own way!
Xie Yu stopped, nodded slightly to her, and then walked away with a stern face.
Yan Shu was so excited she reached a climax! Once she could no longer see him, she grabbed the palace maid beside her and said, "Sanlang and I nodded!"
The palace maid said, "He probably meant to say, 'That's enough!'"
No, no! Yan Shu wouldn't listen!
This was made especially for her! It was opened just for her!
Today is her lucky day!
She'll be so excited she won't be able to sleep tonight!
She could almost reach out and grab him, but that would be impolite.
As for the saying "the way to win his heart is through his stomach," perhaps that's something to try?
Yan Shu is a really good cook.
Her father's salary wasn't much, but it was enough to support the family. Her mother's salary was more than her father's, and she didn't go out much and had few expenses.
However, her mother does some things herself, so the house is quieter with fewer people around.
Her family is small and has few problems. The house isn't big, but it's big enough for the whole family to live in, which is great.
