Now that he's holding his grandson, the atmosphere in the hall becomes strange.
However, it's normal to have grandchildren to hold during the Lunar New Year.
Which person who gets a grandson doesn't show off? Besides, the emperor has a throne to inherit.
With a legitimate heir secured, how much trouble has been saved? No one needs to bother with the Duke of Qi, nor do they need to worry about the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and so on.
play music.
Nowadays, I personally feed my grandson. There are many customs associated with the Lunar New Year.
Some children can't eat it, while others can try a little bit.
Little Xie Yi sat quietly in his grandfather's lap, thankfully without any cousins vying for his affection.
Xie Gong was a bit too far away. He didn't dare let his grandfather feed him.
dance.
Huan Yue watched as he looked at his son, wondering if he had had enough fun.
The child blinks.
The dancing looks terrible these days, so they had someone take their eldest grandson off the stage.
The dancer, thinking the emperor wanted to watch her dance seriously, danced even more energetically.
Everyone in the palace with eyes could see that this was a dish offered to the emperor.
Offering beauties to the emperor was a standard practice, and also the most effective one.
After the dance ended, two beautiful women posed in front of the saint.
Despite the cold weather, the palace was relatively warm, though not too hot.
One beauty is dressed in bright red, and the other in bright purple. They are both elegant, and when placed together, they look quite ethereal.
She was dressed so lightly, it was almost pitiful. She was panting after just finishing dancing, and you could smell her fragrance from quite a distance.
Huan Yue was not far away and could smell the fragrance, but he didn't know what kind of fragrance it was.
Two beauties posed for a photo.
They're drinking there now.
Huan Yue was in charge of providing meat; during the Lunar New Year, chicken, duck, fish, beef, and mutton were all indispensable.
Consort Zhu also ate in the back. Although she was old and needed to take care of herself, she still enjoyed the food quite a bit.
Fearing that the chaos would affect the children, the seventh, eighth, and youngest princesses were all taken away.
Qian Sha didn't need to worry about her daughter; she just ate. Her best achievement was giving birth to the youngest prince and the youngest princess. Of course, she didn't dare call them "late-blooming children" like Dong Shi did. If the emperor had more children after that, the Ninth Princess wouldn't be the youngest anymore.
The Ninth Princess didn't have a title; she was just called that.
Qian Sha wouldn't ask for anything; what could her children possibly lack?
She's probably content with having a daughter and farming.
Xing Jieyu probably thought the same thing. What's wrong with farming? Aren't the Chang family doing quite well?
The Chang family needs someone to support them; as long as she isn't demoted, she can happily farm.
Didn't Xie's Restaurant open? Xing Jieyu felt that her daughter could just follow her second brother and sister-in-law to practice; she wouldn't have to worry about not being able to get married when she grew up.
Although my daughter might not think that way, we'll talk about it when she's older.
Consort Wu called out softly, "Your Majesty."
The current signal is to play music.
The musicians had no objections; the New Year was all about playing music and singing and dancing.
The two beauties were still posing when the music started, so they had no choice but to continue dancing.
The musicians thought the dance was great, and everyone cooperated very well.
Huan Yue watched the two beauties dancing, panting heavily, and found it very appetizing.
Xie Zhen glanced at him and told the musicians to continue.
The musicians dared not disobey.
There isn't just one musician, so everyone isn't tired.
But the two beauties jumped and jumped until they couldn't jump anymore.
Some people, feeling pity for the beautiful woman, dared not utter a word in front of the sage.
An old woman had to step forward, which was quite abrupt!
Wu Meiren had no choice but to come out and kneel. She was always gentle, so kneeling like this seemed a bit strange.
Di Baose and the Empress exchanged a glance. Could it be that Consort Wu was imitating Consort Cui from the very beginning? This was not impossible.
Because of Cui's favor, countless people tried to emulate her, or when presenting beauties to others, they all followed Cui's example.
But Lady Cui was too favored, so she naturally wouldn't like an imposter.
So, Wu Meiren wasted more than ten years of her life, but looking at her today, she's still quite beautiful.
Sunny glanced at her; she looked just like Cui, and yet she'd managed to stay in the palace as a beauty—she must have some tricks up her sleeve. Truly gentle people would have all died out long ago in the harem.
Everyone knows how complicated the imperial harem is, yet Consort Wu seems to remain unshaken.
Will it collapse today?
Sunny watched the play.
The old woman knelt down and cried out, "Your Highness Huan!"
Huan Yue held her head in her hands; her head was throbbing again.
The old lady ignored her and scolded, "Didn't you react at all?"
Ugh! Huan Yue suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit!
The expression immediately changed: "Summon the Imperial Physician!"
Huiqing and Xiuyun reacted quickly and helped the Empress back down.
Xie Zhou hurriedly followed. He also wanted to check on his son. As for the matter of Consort Wu's family, the Emperor would handle it himself.
The old lady was Consort Wu's mother, and also a fourth-rank imperial consort, yet she dared to point at the Crown Princess and lecture her.
Wu Meiren dared not utter a sound. She looked rather pitiful.
It wasn't that her mother was too fierce, but rather that she hadn't gained favor in the palace for so many years.
Consort Shen remembered that she had been favored and was soon granted the title of Beauty. Later, she probably wisely avoided the Cui family's rivalry.
Is it possible to avoid the sharp edge of the Cui family so easily? However, Consort Shen is only concerned with surviving and is unaware of anything else. She is truly lucky to have survived until now.
But not everyone is Consort Shin Hyun; those without sons shouldn't be jealous of her.
The old lady was very jealous: "Ever since Lady Pei entered the palace..."
Xie Zhen interrupted, "Since there is no Consort Pei in the palace, if you are senile, you can get out. Father Emperor probably won't hold it against you."
The old lady's face turned pale and then red, but she dared not argue with King Zheng.
Even with Lady Cui dead, King Zheng remained unchanged. Lady Wu could not avenge this grudge.
The old lady said about Qing'e Palace: "The Crown Prince has been taking a concubine for almost four years and has a son, but there has been no news about the others."
Xie Zhen said, "Didn't you see that my father only needs one grandson? My family only has one throne. Do you think you can compete for it? Is that what Consort Wu means? I didn't see that coming. You're disciplining the Crown Prince as Empress, but can your mother exercise the Empress's rights on your behalf?"
Wu Meiren was so frightened that she hurriedly kowtowed.
Xie Zhen wouldn't let her off the hook: "You've endured this for so many years, and now you're giving up? Are you going to have a son of your own, or adopt one from among your eighth, ninth, or tenth brothers?"
Qiansha was so frightened that she rushed out and said, "Although I've never raised a pet, I don't think he deserves it!"
Xie Zhen said, "I think the tenth brother is quite good. However, did the Crown Prince snatch Consort Wu away when she wanted to raise her? Is that old or new grudge? Can't you even tolerate it during the New Year?"
Qian Sha avoided making her presence known, staying to the side and letting Wu Meiren court death.
Qian Sha had always thought that Consort Wu was nice, but people in the palace who were too gentle were frightening.
So she actually likes Xing Jieyu a little more.
Xing Jieyu was glad that she didn't have a son.
No one in the harem spoke up for Consort Wu, because there was no way to do so.
Besides, the Wu family started the trouble, and if Prince Zheng wants to punish her, no one else can afford to mess with her.
As for the two dancing beauties from the Wu family, they're in a terrible state right now.
Nowadays, people don't speak up, and they don't speak up easily.
While it may be a source of hope for some, it brings despair to the beautiful woman shivering in the cold.
The old lady insisted, "The Crown Princess is jealous!"
Xie Zhen said, "If I need to be jealous of a farmer, what kind of farmer must he be?"
Xie Yu retorted, "A peasant who wants to be emperor, do you dare to even dream of it?"
Xie Zhen said, "Others can only dream, but I was crowned king from a young age."
