Afternoon.
Di Shan came with His Highness.
You have to have a really good relationship to be able to wander around like that; someone like Wen Yuan wouldn't come here.
When Di Shan saw Di Baose quietly doing needlework, he thought that Consort Pei was amazing!
Di Baose became famous for her needlework at the age of ten. But later, she followed her mother's aimless tinkering and did less needlework, or only did it for certain people.
Di Shan was neither greedy nor lacking in what she had, and Di Baose was not at the pinnacle of her abilities.
In comparison, Consort Pei had been practicing her flying white technique all along, but rarely appeared in public after the marriage was arranged; while Di Baose was delayed, otherwise she should have done better.
Neither the Di family nor the Eastern Palace lacked a needleworker, but she was quiet, unassuming, and kind to everyone.
Huan Yue then lectured, "Don't you know how to greet people?"
Di Baose was furious. She stood up and said in a very standard posture, "This concubine greets Your Highness and Di Erlang."
Huan Yue exclaimed happily, "Great! Great! We'll add chicken drumsticks tonight!"
Would Di Baose even want a chicken leg?
As it turns out, anything is possible after two days of fasting.
Huan Yue said, "The Di family has such a fine daughter, and the Zheng family has ruined her. But I will help teach her, and I will get half of her dowry."
Di Baose retorted angrily, "Don't even think about it!"
Huan Yue asked the Di family about their dowry: "What good things do you have? Bring two items to me, and I'll give Di Baose an extra chicken leg."
have!
The maidservant led the eunuch to Chengxiang Palace to fetch the dowry.
Di Baose's dowry is huge! It's a hassle to pack it all up. What's wrong with giving it to the Empress? Money can solve anything, so it's not a problem.
Di Baose was furious! Her people! Now she has no people left!
Sunny suddenly wanted to laugh. Seeing that Di Baose had never experienced hardship, she realized her mother hadn't taught her properly.
Sunny said, "With your temperament, even if you sat in that position, you'd be devoured without a trace. No one can protect you. No one is obligated to protect you. Consort Pei is truly looking out for you."
The maids and wives ran quickly and carried over four boxes in total.
The maidservant happily told the lady, "This is the dowry given by the Duke of Yan."
Huan Yue opened the box and saw it was full of Fei Bai (a type of Chinese liquor). He smiled.
"Why are there so many?"
"Weren't there only two items? She moved four boxes!" Di Baose saw Fei Bai and suddenly understood.
Sunny said softly, "It was originally intended for Her Majesty."
The maid said, "The old lady likes Your Highness very much, and even said that Your Highness should take good care of your mistress."
No need! Di Baose was about to cry! Was this how her grandparents treated her?
Huan Yue accepted it politely.
Sunny asked Di Baose, "Don't you want to be a concubine anymore?"
Di Baose finally looked at her seriously.
Sunny thought she wasn't that stupid, but rather confused.
Rank is something that can be demoted or promoted at will. If these things can be exchanged for a concubine title, what's wrong with that?
Don't be fooled by Di Baose's demotion; it seems like nothing has changed. She's still getting beaten by the Empress anyway.
In fact, there is a big difference. Besides, if Her Majesty is willing to give it, His Highness will most likely not refuse her.
In fact, pleasing the Empress is more effective than pleasing the Prince now. The Empress is truly formidable.
Di Baose stopped making a fuss.
Huan Yue, showing great compassion, said, "Since I've accepted your gifts, I have to take care of you. Make sure you get extra chicken legs when you get back, and remember to come over after breakfast tomorrow. I originally asked you to finish this overnight, but it's getting hot and you'll need to wear it soon."
"Devil!" Di Baose ran as fast as she could, even though her injuries hadn't healed.
The maids and palace servants behind them had to run to catch up.
Di Shan was speechless.
Actually, this method is nothing new. Di Baose just needs a good beating.
My grandmother taught me well, but Zheng ruined it all. Hopefully, another beating will have some effect.
Huan Yue asked Di Erlang, "What do your maternal grandparents think of elm seeds?"
Di Shan smiled and said, "They're quite delicious. If you have any elm leaf buns ready tomorrow, you can send some over."
Huan Yue instructed the eunuch to write it down. "Just a few steamed buns, nothing special."
Huan Yue asked the scoundrel, "Does Your Majesty need anything there?"
Xie Zhou said, "Send a little every other day."
I don't want her to climb trees all the time; now the news has spread throughout Sheng'an.
Di Shan laughed and said, "Eating elm seeds has become popular. We need to eat all the elm seeds around Sheng'an."
Huan Yue said, "As long as the tree is still there, there will be something to eat next year. So those who eat elm seeds along with the tree should be fined."
Some people are just like that.
Those who rely on elm seeds to save their lives wouldn't eat their life-sustaining organs.
Xie Zhou looked intently at his wife: "Should I have Di Baose make clothes for you?"
Huan Yue replied, "Find her something to do. She's quite good at needlework. Shall we have her do some for you?"
Xie Zhou's face darkened: "No."
Huan Yue understood immediately. The villainous female supporting character and the white moonlight are not treated the same.
No matter how beautiful the villainous female supporting character is, I won't even bother with her.
Even if the "white moonlight" (ideal love interest) is poorly made, it's still considered romantic and interesting, and all sorts of stories can happen between them.
The white moonlight seems to be excellent in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework. Huan Yue thinks it's better to wait for her to do these things for the scoundrel and not make the vicious female supporting character suffer.
It doesn't matter if he's still single; as long as he makes good use of his time, Huan Yue can still have ideals.
Xie Zhou stared at his wife's face: "Aren't you going to cook for me?"
Won't!
"I remember your excellent needlework skills."
Huan Yue raised his hand and supported his head with practiced ease.
Xie Zhou laughed in exasperation. How did he manage to bump his head like that?
Xiuyun watched from the side, finding none of His Highness's romantic gestures or the Empress's tastes appealing.
Xie Zhou was unwilling to give up: "I gave you silver, what will you do in return?"
Huan Yue called to Xiu Yun, "Add a chicken leg for His Highness."
Xie Zhou always felt that adding chicken legs was a story or allusion.
Huan Yue suddenly realized something. Would adding too many chicken legs cause problems?
She won't be a substitute! So hurry up and find her white moonlight; she doesn't want to serve this scoundrel for even a day.
Life is anything but peaceful.
Therefore, Huan Yue ate dinner with a heavy heart.
Xie Zhou was in a bad mood. Why was she so unwilling to make clothes, or even just a purse?
Huan Yue glanced at him and scoffed. "Don't think he's patient or anything like that; he's just a scoundrel."
A man can be patient when he's trying to win a woman over, he can be aggressive when he can't get her, and he can be extremely decisive when he gets her and then throws her away.
Huan Yue didn't want to be thrown away. He finished eating.
Xie Zhou looked at her: "Eating so little?"
Huan Yue said impatiently, "Dinner will definitely be light."
Xie Zhou didn't know what he had done to offend her, so he carefully cleaned his face and hands.
Huan Yue has already left.
Xie Zhou strode after him.
There's no point in following Di Shan, who's all alone. He should just go home.
He came over to stop Di Baose from having unrealistic fantasies and causing trouble. As for Zheng Shi causing trouble in the Di family, Grandmother has ways to deal with her.
When it was basically confirmed that she had feelings for the Empress, her grandmother was disgusted with her!
Only a family in misfortune would marry a woman like this.
The relationship between the Di and Zheng families is currently very precarious. But since His Highness doesn't care, the Di family naturally doesn't care either.
If His Highness is stable, and the relationship between the Di family and His Highness is stable, nothing else matters.
The Zheng and Di families have been friends for generations, and for something like this to happen is a huge disservice to the Di family!
Di Baose came out and stopped Di Shan, her attitude unfriendly: "How is my mother? What have you done to my mother?"
Di Shan sneered, "Second Uncle is planning to divorce his wife. If you're willing, you can go to the Zheng family with your mother."
