Pei Houzai was six years old, strong, and even more unruly.
Wearing a blue robe, he looked more like a spoiled brat from a landlord's family than a descendant of a noble family.
This is probably the Pei family bloodline; Pei Huanzhao is like this even in his old age.
It's estimated that Pei Houzai was six years old and hadn't gone to school yet, but his leg was broken like that, and he screamed in pain. It had nothing to do with studying.
Xia was even more anxious!
A group of people from their hometown found a reason to fight the yamen runners!
"How could you hit a child!"
"Do you know who he is? The Crown Princess's own nephew!"
"Imperial Prison? Are you out of your mind? Are you joking?"
A few of the bolder ones went to provoke the inner envoy.
Anyway, the Pei family is confident. They are the second oldest in the world, regardless of how many bloodlines they are from the Pei family.
The eunuch stepped aside.
Since the Pei family thinks it's a joke, then there's a need to continue.
An old woman even came to ask the eunuch, "Does the Crown Princess know? When will she come to pick us up?"
One of the daughters-in-law explained, "Although we are not from the Jianchang Marquis's lineage, we all share the same ancestor. The Crown Princess should come to greet us personally."
Someone else said, "It's alright if the Crown Princess is busy; we'll go to the palace to see her tomorrow."
The guards took action, arrested all of them, and sent them to the imperial prison.
A group of people were shouting in panic!
The girls yelled, "Who dares to touch us?"
The bailiffs grabbed them and took them away. What was the point of watching the Pei family put on a show?
The onlookers were laughing their heads off: "What kind of weirdos are these people with the surname Pei?"
"Don't you have any sense of proportion when you run all the way to Sheng'an?"
"He's gotten used to things in Pingshi County. It's said that when Pei Huanzhao arrived in Pingshi County, he acted like the elder brother of Empress Huan, amassing wealth and oppressing the people. He's been living there for a few years and he's gotten so complacent that he's lost his mind!"
“Just what Pei Huanzhao did in the Ping Shi County area is enough to warrant his imprisonment.”
Pei Huanzhao has regained his senses! He doesn't want to go to the imperial prison!
Xia Shi also regained consciousness and shouted loudly, "I want to see the Crown Princess!"
A group of people shouted, "She was raised by the Pei family, after all."
Xia was also busy trying to save her son.
The constables started whipping them! They all deserved it!
You already know all about the Pei family and Consort Huan's affair, yet you still dare to bring it up?
As the whip cracked, the Pei family members howled and screamed even louder, with several young ladies rolling on the ground and trying to escape.
The onlookers discovered something interesting!
Heibe isn't someone to be trifled with; he'll take the man back.
The young ladies became anxious; some were in tears, while others wanted to show off their individuality, creating a dazzling display.
An elder of the Pei family shouted, "This is a misunderstanding! Let's go to an inn first!"
Now you want to stay at an inn? You're definitely going to stay in prison.
Pei Huanzhao cried out in desperation, "I want to see Her Majesty! I just want to see her!"
Someone asked, "Where's your brat?"
Pei Huanzhao's legs went weak at the sight of the imperial prison; in fact, he had only given in to the damned girl in Sheng'an. The Pei family is now reduced to this state, forced to live a life of freeloading in Pingshi County, but even that won't amount to much.
Sheng An could easily have tens of thousands of taels of silver, and Xia's dowry was just as much.
But Ping Shi County can only plunder less than 10,000 taels a year; any more than that would drive the people to revolt.
So we still have to come to Sheng'an to make money. How much benefit can we get by giving in to that brat?
They could take advantage of several prefectures surrounding Pingshi County. Xia had calculated that they could earn at least 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver a year.
Qing'e Palace.
Huan Yue cleaned up both of his treasures thoroughly.
The little baby is hugging his mother, he smells so good.
Huan Yue kissed his precious son, who was getting more and more handsome as he grew up. At this rate, wouldn't he be more handsome than his older brother?
The kids were laughing so hard! Brother, brother!
Little Xie Yi is learning to do chores. What is the younger brother going to do?
The little boy from Xingtan wants to learn from his older brother and put on these shoes himself.
"Alright," Huan Yue said, sitting to the side and watching him struggle with his shoes.
The older brother, Xie Yi, patiently taught his younger brother. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand yet; he'll learn when he grows up.
Madam Yang watched from the side, thinking that the Empress's teaching was quite good. Children are happy with anything anyway.
Dressing yourself is not a big deal.
Formal dresses can be troublesome to put on by oneself, while everyday clothes are very convenient to wear.
It's not hard to have clothes handed to you, but it's hard to cultivate that mindset.
The children in Xingtang were especially happy, and spent a long time excitedly looking at a pair of shoes.
The wet nurse made him very pretty shoes; this child is so adorable.
Xie Zhou came over after finishing his work.
The filial child in Xingtan went to rummage through his father's shoes.
Xie Zhou hugged and kissed his precious son.
The little guy is unhappy, don't let it affect his performance!
Okay, Xie Zhou changed into a clean pair of shoes and let his son play with them.
After a great deal of effort, the little boy from Xingtan pulled off his father's socks and started chewing on his toes.
Xie Zhou quickly picked up his son; he was teething, and chewing on his teeth would make him itchy.
The little one nestled in his father's arms, overjoyed!
Xie Zhou was also happy, because his son could take off his shoes, just like he wouldn't wet his pants when he needed to use the restroom.
Some children wet their pants because they don't know how to take them off. It's okay if they don't know how to put them on, but it's not good if they don't know how to take them off.
Huan Yue changed his clothes and came over.
Xie Zhou looked at his wife; she was unrealistically beautiful in the lamplight!
Although she has two sons, she has a beautiful face, beautiful hair, and a great figure. He was getting impatient with her.
Huan Yue glared at him; his two sons were there.
Xie Zhou is getting worse and worse. It seems that his son and father are getting along well. He will send them to his father tomorrow.
Huan Yue was speechless. Did the sage not want a beautiful woman?
However, the sage seems to have lost interest.
She pays great attention to health and seems destined to have a great-grandchild.
By the time Xie Yi holds his grandson, the sage will be ninety years old. Such cases are not uncommon; it depends on the specific circumstances.
The eunuch came to report: "Wu Jiaozi is in a hurry to see the Emperor, saying that he has a sacred medicine."
Huan Yue asked, "Why doesn't he eat it himself?"
The eunuch said, "Perhaps his time has come. Long live the Sage! The sacred medicine is only effective for the Sage."
Huan Yue said, "Why don't you bring it here so I can take a look?"
The eunuch went to inquire. It's only effective against the Emperor, so we dared not use it casually, but we could try it out on Consort Huan.
Huan Yue wanted to see if it was spiritual spring water. Perhaps her treasure could be struck by lightning.
Xie Zhou looked at his wife, thinking she was being led astray by their son.
Huan Yue felt that, putting aside everything else, it was good enough that his son could protect his grandfather.
From now on, let Xingtan be the door god, guarding the grandfather's door so that demons and monsters cannot get close.
The child is hugging his mother, wanting to eat.
Well, he's still a baby. He should go to sleep after eating.
Xie Zhou went to take care of his eldest son, and will send him to his grandfather tomorrow.
Little Xie Yi is smiling sweetly; perhaps his mother is expecting another baby boy or girl.
Huan Yue felt that having more children was fine since he was healthy; some people genuinely enjoyed having children.
Because soft, cuddly babies have a special charm; they're not as fun to raise once they're grown up.
This kind of toy is different from raising someone else's son.
Xie Zhou now wants a daughter. Although sons are good, he misses daughters because he has too many sons. If he has a daughter, it's okay if he doesn't have any more children in the future.
Giving birth is really hard work, but Xie Zhou and his wife are doing just fine as a family.
