The Pei family of Pingshi County, and the branch of the Marquis of Jianchang, may have already been separated by five degrees of kinship.
Even if they share the same ancestor, they can be considered one family.
They're distant relatives, but they're from the same clan and are considered quite close.
Some of them went into farming.
Like the impoverished Pei family, most of them were ordinary people.
But one day, the Pei family suddenly learned that the Crown Princess was from their family. This was unacceptable!
The twists and turns of the story don't matter, as long as the Crown Princess is from the Pei family! She must be!
Farmers stopped farming, but a few students were even more excited, and small vendors also got busy.
This is the Pei family's chance to rise to the top!
Similar to the situation in Baishi Village or the He family back then, like the Shi family, the Shen family, or many other families.
However, some families have a rich cultural heritage and good upbringing, while the Pei family is particularly shameless.
The people of Pingshi County didn't know, but did Pei Huanzhao not know?
He was frivolous to begin with, and with the praise of the people of Pingshi County, the emperor's brother-in-law began to flaunt his power prematurely.
These people are really smart.
The village woman and the old lady told a story, with snot and tears streaming down her face: "That landlord was a scoundrel, he oppressed the people for years. Seeing that I was somewhat pretty (here, she was both shy and flirtatious), he repeatedly humiliated me, sob sob."
Fei Hegu looked at her. This middle-aged woman was still somewhat attractive, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to raise a beautiful daughter. Now that she was acting like a lady, it was because she had taken care of herself. She was even a little proud.
Fei and Gu asked, "You didn't steal him, did you?"
Huan Yue said, "That's possible. There are many such cases in the countryside. Landlords have money and are generous. Women from all around want to go to them. If they can charge less rent, men are willing to do it too."
The village woman was stunned!
Di Baose said cheerfully, "Sigh, life in the countryside isn't easy, but we can't be shameless."
Yang Dong'e said, "Isn't it the daughter of the Zhou family in Yanling Village?"
Di Baose said, "You can tell what kind of person she is just by looking at her. How much benefit will she get from serving the landlord well?"
The village woman came to her senses and burst into tears!
Her daughter stood up for her mother: "How could you do this? My mother is innocent."
Huan Yue asked, "Why didn't she prove her innocence by dying when the landlord harassed her? Are you the landlord's daughter? How can you be so innocent?"
The village girl's face turned red with anger!
Di Baose laughed loudly! That's just how our Empress is.
It's hard to say whose this village girl is; Old Wang next door has a lot of connections.
The village woman cried out, "I don't want to live anymore!"
Another audacious person asked, "Is Your Majesty trying to force someone to their death?"
Sunny said, "You forced the landlord to his death and plotted to seize his property. Lawyer Zhao can kill you."
The village girl hurriedly defended herself: "It was the landlord who forced my family into this situation; the landlord's foolish son took a liking to me."
Di Baose: "You're not clean either."
The village girl's eyes widened.
Di Baose casually replied, "You don't need to pretend with me."
That Dao Yuan isn't exactly clean. Besides, the Pei family members who went to the imperial prison aren't exactly clean either.
The village girl was on the verge of collapse, crying out, "Your Majesty! Are you just going to let Consort Di bully you like this?"
Huan Yue waved his hand, telling them to take them all away, too lazy to watch these people put on an act.
The eunuchs came to expel them. Their actions will naturally be thoroughly investigated.
These people were panicking. How could they just leave and go to the imperial prison like this? They had to stay no matter what!
Xia cried out, "Your Majesty, you can't do this! Aren't you afraid of what the world will say?"
Di Baose sneered: "Who else dares to spread rumors?"
Several women, emboldened, declared: "We want to see His Highness!"
The eunuchs dragged the man away. "What are you asking me to see?"
A woman bravely ran up to the Empress: "Everyone is truly doing this for Your Majesty. Look, Your Majesty, isn't everyone like this? We haven't done anything special, as long as Your Majesty is well, we'll continue to do good deeds for Your Majesty. Your Majesty now has two princes, don't you want them both?"
The eunuchs came and dragged the man away. Regardless of whether he understood or wanted to understand, if he dared to shout, he was beaten to death.
Huan Yue came over.
Pei Huanzhao was facing her.
Huan Yue was shorter than him.
Pei Huanzhao couldn't find any sense of superiority, so he could only say, "We're like brother and sister, and I only want what's best for you. Life in the palace isn't easy, and being an empress is even harder. Of all those empresses, how many actually make it to the end?"
Huan Yue kicked him.
Pei Huanzhao flew out of the Qing'e Palace, flew over the platform, and crashed into the rain, disappearing from sight.
The eunuch gaped; the Empress was even more formidable. So, who dares to depose her?
This one kick could travel from Xuanzheng Hall to Hanyuan Hall and back to Zichen Hall.
Some members of the Pei family were dragged outside, wanting to see Pei Huanzhao's skill, which was indeed remarkable.
Xia was almost scared to death! Pei Huanzhao fell to the ground and seemed to be dead.
The eunuch went over and pulled him up; he was still breathing.
Xia cried out in despair! He was their last hope!
Several members of the Pei family felt a chill in the rain!
In this cold autumn, leaving the Qing'e Palace is harder than leaving the imperial prison.
There is hope of escaping the imperial prison, but there is no hope of escaping the Qing'e Palace.
Huan Yue left Qing'e Palace.
Everyone else left.
Lu Qingjiao wondered what her father was up to. Was he looking for death? Anyway, it wouldn't affect her.
Fang Tang even found the Pei family quite amusing. Pei Huanzhao actually wanted to be the eldest brother and the emperor's brother-in-law? Dream on!
Guo Bing came out coldly and casually said, "Your Majesty only cares about the people's hearts."
yes.
Fei Hegu respectfully saw Guo Liangdi off first. To rely on the Pei family as a backer—wouldn't that be a huge joke? It would be good enough if they just behaved themselves. Pei Huanzhao's ambitions were simply too great.
It's really interesting. Chang Ziyu is like that, and so is Pei Huanzhao.
Actually, there are unreliable members in the Di family, but overall they are passable, otherwise they would be impeached every day.
Did they think the Pei family was unwatched? The Pei family is finished. There are plenty of people watching the Chang family.
Minor disputes and arguments are easily resolved. But the way things are handled in Pingshi County is a huge pitfall for the Empress.
Huan Yue returned to Qing'e Palace.
The children in Xingtan have woken up. As they grow older, they sleep less, especially during the day.
He will take a nap in the afternoon.
She woke up now, her little face all rosy, looking adorably ugly.
Xie Zhou dressed him, but the kid started pulling at his clothes, wanting to dress himself.
Huan Yue watched the father and son perform the ritual from the side, and the little boy was having a great time.
His father snapped, "Wait until you're older before you dress yourself. You'll get cold if you don't wear it now."
The little boy looked at his father, then at his mother, and let his father do it for him. He was overjoyed, hugging his father tightly!
Xie Zhou handed his son over to his wife; he had to go to his father's palace to attend to his business.
Huan Yue kissed him and said, "Go on."
Oh dear, the little ones want some too!
Xie Zhou looked at his son; he kissed his mother first, then his father. What a good son.
Zichen Palace.
I'm currently spending time with my eldest grandson; it's just the two of us playing together.
Now that I'm leaving the Zichen Palace, I feel a little reluctant. I've been emperor for over twenty years, and overall, it's been a very successful reign.
He never let his guard down, and the Zhao state remained stable. Even with Dong Xu's various actions, it can't be said that he was entirely bad.
But this hidden danger, the Great Stone Kingdom, must be eliminated! Let's leave it to our son and grandson.
With this in mind, things are much easier now. All I need to do is raise my grandson well and wipe out the Great Stone Kingdom!
Xie Zhoulai, carrying his eldest son, went to dine with his father.
I'm quite satisfied with things so far.
