After March, it gets very hot.
The Chengen Hall was being tidied up.
Qiang and Dou specially selected four experienced, steady, and reliable daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law.
Make sure that both adults and children are well taken care of and that there are absolutely no accidents.
This is far more important than the harem or ordinary concubines.
Forget about the Pei or Chang families, but the Qiang family is very experienced. She raised her three grandsons and now her great-granddaughter, and she will soon have a great-grandchild. She must keep the happy occasion under control.
Mr. Yang was in his forties and in good health; he was even able to carry a pregnant woman.
She didn't offer any opinions, but only joked with Madam Dou: "His Highness is still resting here."
Dou chuckled softly, "Don't worry about it. Besides, there's a couch inside, and there's one over there too."
Since Lady Dou was her maternal aunt, it wouldn't be appropriate for anyone else to enter the inner chambers.
Di Han was her aunt, and she was too lazy to arrange these things.
There are still people in the Li family who have designs on the Crown Prince, or who want to use the Li family's connections.
Di Han stopped getting involved in these things when she was very young. She understood her mother and knew that it was good enough for her to live this kind of life.
Di Han had her own youngest son to raise, so Dou Shi didn't want to trouble her.
Huan Yue sat down in the Jixian Pavilion.
The ginkgo tree provides shade.
The Jixian Pavilion was surrounded by gauze curtains, making it extremely comfortable to sit inside.
Because I don't see many people anymore, I don't go to Qing'e Palace much either, so I've become lazy at Jixian Pavilion.
When Dou came over, she thought this place was quite nice.
Princess Yongqing also came to visit; her elder brother was very much looking forward to this grandson.
Lady Dou held the eldest princess in high esteem. She refrained from interfering in the affairs of the Eastern Palace and did not send any concubines to the princess.
The eldest princess is too lazy to bother with that. Wouldn't it be better to live a carefree life?
Yang Quenu brought several beauties over to dance.
Yang Chu'er, Yang Churong, and Fei Hegu all came.
Fei and Gu knew a special kind of soft dance. Yang Churong accompanied her on music.
Soft dances are characterized by their slow, graceful, and gentle rhythms; in contrast, vigorous dances are characterized by their brisk, agile, and powerful rhythms.
Fei and Gu are beauties, and their dance makes them look even more like fairies!
Yang Churong is also a beauty; even when she's just pretending to be a mushroom, she looks good as a backup dancer.
Yang Quenu knew a lot, but she didn't steal the spotlight; instead, she served as a foil.
Fei and Gu had a blast dancing!
Huan Yue was overjoyed: "Everyone, sit down and rest."
Fei Hegu laughed and said, "I secretly learned it when I was a child, but I haven't practiced it well enough recently."
Huan Yue laughed and said, "It's already excellent. What do you want, some pretty clothes or something else?"
Fei Hegu smiled and said, "Then I shall dare to ask Your Majesty to bestow some silk upon me."
Huan Yue said, "I can't wear the new ones this year, so you can go and choose some yourself. Yang Fengyi should go too."
Yang Churong was overjoyed.
It's not that the Empress can't wear it, but rather that she has received more this year, and those below her have started to fawn over her.
As long as they don't blindly pick the best clothes, they can dress simply and look beautiful for the Empress, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Next, the orioles and egrets jumped, and their jumps were spectacular!
Princess Yongqing nodded repeatedly; she wanted to reward them!
Huan Yue would not argue with his elders.
Princess Yongqing is living a very comfortable life now; her brother can easily gain many benefits from her with just a flick of his wrist.
Then the lark will perform a solo dance!
Her signature move is the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" dance, where a beautiful bird pays homage to the phoenix. It's a bit like the peacock dance, but she dances it with exceptional grace and charm!
Huan Yue thought of the Hundred Birds Skirt? The Nightingale Skirt was very beautiful, but the Hundred Birds Skirt was out of the question.
The oriole is performing its ventriloquism on the side!
Although it was just a simple bird call, it attracted a chorus of birdsong from the tree!
There are many birds in the East Palace, and they don't worry about having their feathers plucked. They have perched on trees, rooftops, and other places.
Princess Yongqing and Madam Dou laughed heartily! Wasn't that a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix?
Look! Look!
That bird is so beautiful! It has a tuft of feathers on its head that bounces off when it flies, making it even more proud!
The lark ran away quickly, there was bird droppings everywhere!
The palace maids laughed wildly! This wasn't the first time.
The eunuch chuckled as he tidied up.
Fei and Gu carefully carried the reward over. The birds in the sky didn't care.
Huan Yue looked at it and said, "You only chose this much?"
Fei and Gu laughed and said, "That's enough. We'll pick out new ones next time."
Yang Churong was quite bold: "Your Majesty, if you can't let go of us, don't even think about it."
Huan Yue asked, "Is it because you think the place is too small?"
Fei and Gu hurriedly smiled and said, "It's true that with so many things, the space seems small, so it's good to have room for them."
She has saved up quite a lot of things and a considerable amount of money.
As for what your family wants? That's none of my business. The most important thing is to make yourself comfortable.
Next up, Yan Boxuan will be reading to his younger cousin.
Princess Yongqing and Madam Dou exchanged a glance, suppressing their laughter.
The Empress is such a good teacher; Yan Boxuan is at the perfect age to be taught.
He was said to be able to write at the age of three, and it's true; his little face is absolutely adorable.
As Dou sipped her tea, she watched as Yan Boxuan learned something, and even prenatal education was done. She was sure the brothers would have a good relationship in the future.
Xie Fufu, standing to the side, had to read it again, afraid that her younger brother would lead her precious cousin astray, which would be disastrous.
Huan Yue let her be serious, and she knew more than Yan Boxuan.
Princess Yongning will also be coming.
Huan Yue let her have her way. After all, prenatal education should focus on healthy, positive, and nurturing environments.
If something happens to the baby, he/she will play with the umbilical cord less. His/her fetal life will be more fulfilling.
A palace attendant came and whispered outside the pavilion: "There are rumors circulating outside Sheng'an that the one Consort Huan is pregnant with has been possessed by evil spirits."
Princess Yongqing's face turned cold: "You still dare to spread rumors?"
The eunuch reported, "Many people are saying that Her Majesty is carrying a demon's child."
Princess Yongqing stood up: "I'm going to find my brother, the Emperor."
Dou had no way to persuade her.
I don't have complete trust in the imperial court, but these rumors are disgusting.
Those who speak ill of Yan Boxuan, like those who hurt such a lovely child, are not human.
The eunuch then reported, "Some people are saying that we should accumulate blessings for the imperial grandson."
Huan Yue laughed: "They spread rumors and they're afraid of death? Is the imperial grandson an ordinary person? Slaying demons and monsters and bringing blessings to the people is his birth responsibility."
Dou nodded.
Many genuinely prayed for the emperor's grandson's well-being. But sparing those with ulterior motives is not accumulating virtue; killing them is true virtue.
The female official said, "This time they've gone outside Sheng'an to spread rumors."
Huan Yue said, "He thinks the heavens are high and the emperor is far away? Let him know just how high the heavens are and how far the emperor is! Anyone who offends the Great Zhao, no matter how far away, will be punished!"
Everyone was awestruck!
This applies not only to Da Shi Kingdom, but also to Longcheng County.
Under heaven, there are no local tyrants, only one true Son of Heaven!
Come, let Dou give a book to her little nephew Sun Nian.
Qing'e Palace generally doesn't need to worry about things outside.
Her top priority is to focus on her pregnancy.
Huan Yue lay there, so comfortable he was about to fall asleep.
Dou thought she was really carefree. The book was quite good, and she read it slowly.
Even if I were to debate with you, and you were to win, would I be the one to win? Would you truly be right? Or would I be wrong? If I were to win, and you were not the one to win, would I truly be right? Or would I be wrong? Perhaps I am right? Perhaps I am wrong? Perhaps we are both right? Perhaps we are both wrong? If we cannot understand each other, then people will inevitably suffer from their own ignorance and delusion. Who can I ask to correct them?
