Xie Zhou slipped away to have dinner with his wife.
As for whether to accompany the Emperor or his wife, well, there are so many people accompanying the Emperor today for the palace examination.
In fact, Xie Zhou was not just Fei Yunyin; he was someone who had seen the ocean and found it hard to be satisfied with a river.
A person who has struggled and drowned in the ocean is not as good as one who holds onto a wife tightly.
The beauty of a daughter-in-law is beyond compare to that of the ocean.
Return to Qing'e Palace and Jixian Pavilion.
Guo Bing is having dinner with the Empress here.
As soon as he picked up his chopsticks, Huan Yue asked in surprise, "Why did you come over?"
Xie Zhou gestured for Guo Bing to sit down, saying there was no need to be polite; he then sat down next to his wife and gave her a kiss on her rosy cheek.
Guo Bing was completely unaffected and continued eating her food.
Ms. Shan stopped sighing and started thinking about Cui Baoli, that despicable woman who deserved to be torn to pieces!
Cui Baoli no longer has any influence over Guo Bing. Anyway, they can't mess with her, and messing with the Crown Prince is suicide.
Huan Yue slapped the scoundrel, not noticing that Bingbing's mood was off?
All strength is just a facade; no one can escape being hurt.
Xie Zhou snapped out of his daze and immediately apologized to Guo Bing.
Guo Bing suddenly smiled: "It's nothing. My late father was killed by Cui Baoli."
Xie Zhou picked up his chopsticks and dropped them with a crash!
Mrs. Shan sighed, "Let me explain: This is roughly how it happened."
Even if Cui Kai came from a scholarly family, a family in Takada County, he later passed the imperial examination with top honors and became related to the Cui family.
Cui Kai was appointed to an outside post, and he brought his wife, Yuan, with him, but left their son and daughter in their hometown, who were Guo Bing's maternal uncle and late mother.
While in office, Yuan gave birth to a daughter, Cui Baoli, whom she doted on.
Cui Kai's official duties were poor, and he returned home after a few years. Madam Yuan continued to favor Cui Baoli.
Later, the Guo family came to propose marriage.
Madam Shan gritted her teeth: "Madam has a reputation for virtue, and she even helped her brother with his studies, but that Yuan family doesn't give any money to her children. When the Guo family sought talent, Cui Kai was flattered. But Yuan family set their sights on the Guo family, and Cui Baoli set her sights on the general. She's only thirteen years old, but she runs to the Guo family every day, calling him brother-in-law, and saying she's not concerned with formalities."
Huan Yue suddenly had a wild thought: "Could it be that Cui Baoli wants to become Prince Peng's stepmother?"
Guo Bing looked at her coldly; if a saint were here, he could have crippled her outright.
Huan Yue pulled at His Highness, cold.
Xie Zhou quickly protected his wife, telling Guo Bing not to bully her.
Even the Shan family was so angry they laughed.
Guo Bing, seemingly irrational, continued eating, saying the cook did a good job.
Huan Yue blinked. Bingbing is really amazing.
However, she stretched out her arm and pulled Bingbing: "Although being forced to become a queen is possible, we won't suffer that kind of hardship. Let others suffer it."
Guo Bing gave him a little face, then let go and told him to eat quickly!
Huan Yue ate his food obediently.
Xie Zhou served his wife food, all of which were her favorite dishes.
Not hungry, Madam Shan continued recounting this distressing tale: "Shortly after her marriage, Madam became pregnant. However, eight months into her pregnancy, she was murdered by Cui Baoli. Madam barely escaped with her life when the General stormed into the Cui family with his sword! Madam Yuan tried to protect her, and the General chopped down a corner of the Cui family ancestral hall!"
Xie Zhou didn't eat, but fed his wife, who was pregnant with another baby.
Guo Bing glanced at it; it wasn't her business. Anyway, even if he was hungry, the Empress would pack him a few pancakes.
Mrs. Shan tried to keep it brief: "Cui Baoli's reputation was ruined, so Mrs. Yuan married her off. The Guo family didn't care about her, but she did, coming to the Guo family to apologize to her sister, with Mrs. Yuan accompanying her. And that's how she caused the general's death, and his wife committed suicide to be buried with him. The old general's hair turned white overnight, and he personally went to the Cui family in Gaotian County, where Mrs. Yuan lied and said she was already dead. Because of the war, the old general had to go back. The most outrageous thing is that a few years later, Mrs. Yuan still wanted to come and take her granddaughter, but the Guo family beat her back to the Cui family, and only then did things calm down."
However, Ms. Shan said, "I don't know who Yuan colluded with during his tenure, or whether Cui Baoli was only recently targeted?"
Xie Zhou said coldly, "It doesn't matter. Since she didn't die, she can die again."
Huan Yue said calmly, "How can once be enough?"
Guo Bing nodded: "How can once be enough?"
The eunuch came to report: "The three members of the Cui family wanted to visit Grand Secretary Li (Li Changling)'s residence, but were turned away. They then went to Princess Yuqing's residence, but the princess completely ignored them."
Cuizhu asked, "Did you enter the Li residence, but Madam Li didn't think you looked right and kicked you out? Did you not get into the Princess's residence?"
The eunuch nodded: "It seems that Grand Secretary Li has some kind of relationship with Cui Kai, and that he is also acquainted with Prince Consort Yuqing."
Huan Yue hurriedly said, "Please don't let the prince consort become..."
Xie Zhou fed her a piece of fish tofu.
Guo Bing nodded: "We can do it."
As for Madam Shan, she said, "Madam Yuan hastily married off Cui Baoli, so the marriage must not have been very good. Even the Cui family doesn't know much about it. So, could it be related to those things? Are they using the Guo family's name to scam people?"
Huan Yue blinked: "You can even drag the Guo family down with you?"
Guo Bing suddenly unleashed a burst of cold energy!
Huan Yue was terrified!
Lady Shan hurriedly comforted her master.
The Guo family isn't easy to win over either, do you think Cui Baoli can handle them?
Guo Bing was panting heavily!
The palace maids and eunuchs around were terrified!
Guo Liangdi is usually cold and aloof, but once she gets angry, it's like a snow mountain collapsing! There's even a volcanic eruption inside!
A world of extremes!
Huan Yue scooped a bowl of pigeon egg soup and served it to Bingbing.
Guo Bing roared in fury: "I'll go kill her! She owes my family something!"
Huan Yue was strong and shoved the spoon into her hand.
Mrs. Shan watched carefully, making sure not to crush the spoon.
Guo Bing was furious, but the Empress was even stronger.
Huan Yue, afraid she would keep it bottled up inside, kissed her.
Guo Bing wanted to crush the spoon!
