night.
Xie Zhou and his wife went to bed, and it felt really comfortable.
Huan Yue looked at him and thought that things would probably get even more tiring for him in the future.
Normally things are fine, but when something big happens, it's incredibly stressful. Being an emperor is no easy job.
Xie Zhou hugged his wife tightly, saying that being an emperor was not as good as being a mother, and that being a mother was too difficult.
Although many women have become mothers, many have gone through a difficult time. And many others haven't made it through.
Huan Yue is lucky; she's somehow managed to get to where she is now. If that scoundrel doesn't pamper her, she'll be fine staying peacefully in the palace.
Xie Zhou was holding his wife, and something seemed off.
Huan Yue glanced at him. He was handsome and increasingly had the air of an emperor, like a domineering CEO.
Huan Yue looked at his son again, wondering what he was doing instead of sleeping.
The child moved a few times before his father held him down.
Huan Yue looked at his son and then at his father, wondering if the eldest son was having a dream about the second son.
The eldest son might dream of getting help from others, but if he doesn't involve his parents, they won't know.
The little boy from Xingtan groggily opened his eyes, looked at his father and mother, whimpered twice, and then closed his eyes again to sleep.
Huan Yue held his son and told him to sleep peacefully. Why bother with anything while sleeping?
When Xie Zhou woke up early in the morning, he found that he had gone out to play with his two sons again.
I don't know what kind of place I dug, but it was all so bizarre and strange that I woke up again.
Huan Yue got up, not feeling very tired.
Xie Zhou was about to start another busy day. He tried his best to finish his work during the day so he could go home and sleep with his wife at night.
Huan Yue dismissed him and then dealt with his son.
The little boy from Xingtan was so happy hugging his mother. He wasn't even this happy when he found gold.
Huan Yue dressed him in thicker clothes, and told him to take them off when he got hot at noon. Anyway, he couldn't walk or run around yet.
"Mommy~~~~" the child whined.
The eunuch came to report: "The Wen family is ready. The palace is busy right now, so the Wen family wants to take Chang Xiaozhong over, saying that he can start school at the age of three."
Huan Yue nodded: "I'll have to trouble the Wen family."
It would be a great honor for the Wen family to have their children trained by the Chang family.
No matter how good the Chang family is, Jing Wei can't compare to the Wen family's heritage. Conversely, Chang Xiaozhong had visited the Wen family before and wasn't shy around them.
The Jing family is Chang Xiaozhong's maternal family, but they've been busy lately. Anyway, the Wen family is taking good care of Chang Xiaozhong; they also have children aged three to five.
To put it bluntly, the Wen family could at least bask in the rustic charm of the Chang family.
After all, the Chang family is very simple and honest; it's just raising a child, and the Wen family can afford it.
A moment later, another eunuch reported: "Sheng'an is in an uproar. Everyone guessed that Madam Jing was going to file a complaint, but unexpectedly, she was angered and returned to Baishi Village. So many people saw her off; let's see if the Nan family can pull off this scam?"
The palace maid said, "You never know. The Nan family has tried so hard and failed, what's wrong with trying again?"
Chao Yun smiled and said, "They said Madam Jing went back, but they didn't mention Madam Lü."
We should try to keep it a secret as long as possible.
Despite Lü Wen being granted the title of Lady of the County, Jing Wei, as the wife of the Emperor's brother-in-law, was also highly respected.
Moreover, whether Lü Wenren gave it to Lü Wenhe or Jing Wei, it would be almost the same. This is practically a case of switching the beams and pillars.
Jing Wei had another reason for returning: Madam Anle hadn't arrived yet. It wouldn't be wrong for her to serve her all the way to Sheng'an.
The palace will bestow a ceremonial gift upon them, and then they can properly welcome Lady Anle back. There's nothing wrong with that.
The eunuch reported, "Lu Wenren wants to personally escort them, so there are over a thousand people in total, although half of them are injured or disabled."
Such a large-scale operation cannot be recklessly undertaken, but if the palace and the Ministry of War approve it, then it's a different story.
This year we said we would properly resettle the wounded, and now the first batch has been resettled in Changhe County. I wonder how many people are jealous!
Huan Yue was delighted.
Want a Changhe County household registration? Go fight in a war and make a name for yourself!
Are you brave enough to take the plunge?
As for whether these people will become some kind of force within the Chang family, that's wishful thinking.
Chang Dalang's father-in-law was a secretary in the Ministry of War. With so few people, they couldn't accomplish much.
Princess Changqing came to the palace again to help.
Wenmiao was originally supposed to help, but her son wanted to take care of her.
The Princess of Changqing County is like a brick, ready to be moved wherever needed. She never complains about the hardships or the fatigue.
Di Shan was also busy serving His Highness. The Di family had gone to such lengths that there was nothing more to say.
Perhaps the Pei and Chang families have no one else they can rely on?
There are quite a few people, and the Princess of Changqing is capable and reliable.
Princess Changning, Princess Guangning, and Princess Yongning were all busy, making it a lively scene.
Huan Yue came to the central palace.
The aura of the Central Palace is incomparable to that of the Green Moth Palace.
I won't call her Qing'e anymore.
Entering the central palace, you'll find the main hall, Jiaofang Hall, followed by Zhaode Hall, then the sleeping quarters, Hanzhang Hall, and finally the rear hall.
Jiaofang Hall is the main hall, spanning nine bays, and is extremely imposing. Behind it is Zhaode Hall, which has seven bays and is where the Empress usually receives guests.
There is a small garden to the east of Zhaode Hall, which is not too small, and you can play there.
To the west of Zhaode Hall is Zhaoqing Hall, a two-courtyard complex prepared for the princes.
Hanzhang Hall is slightly larger than Chengen Hall of Qing'e Palace, and there is a hall on each side that is larger than Hanchun Hall and Chenghua Hall.
The rear hall is different from Qing'e Palace; it doesn't have the old ginkgo tree. The courtyard is smaller, but without the four old trees, it doesn't feel so small anymore.
The rear hall has only five rooms in the middle, all of which are used as storerooms.
The east and west side rooms are much larger than those in the Qing'e Palace.
There are doors on the left and right that lead to the Taiye Pond behind.
Therefore, Huan Yue arranged for the meal to be held in the east wing room.
The kitchen isn't far from here, and the dining room is very large. We're not only accommodating our two sons, but also their grandfather, plus a few other people. So, there will be about ten people.
Eating for ten people doesn't require a large round table. A large round table is needed just for the emperor to eat alone.
With more people, we can be less extravagant, but we still need a lot.
So we use half normally, and add the other half if there are more people.
There were places to sit and rest in the middle, and people were drinking tea next door.
The west wing also served as a storeroom, so it was quite large.
The two corners were for the palace maids to live in.
With a large central palace, there were many people serving in the palace.
We are now basically ready to meet Huan Yue's needs.
Although all she wanted to do was move a chair to sit on the platform and bask in the sun.
It's nice to sunbathe in the garden; it's much more formal than the one behind the Blue Moth Palace.
The pond is about half an acre in size, and it is winding with trees and flowers planted on both sides.
Some of the things that Dong liked were removed.
Now that it's all tidied up, it looks very fresh.
But not the newly built kind; the trees still need maintenance.
There are three rooms here; they're not big, but they have a lot of character.
Huan Yue felt that the Empress was someone who excelled in everything.
She's not the luxury type, although she could easily satisfy anyone who wanted luxury.
Huan Yue felt that things were fine as they were, and that living here for the rest of his life was a great blessing.
Although we may have to repair Changxin Palace in a few years, that would be a blessing.
It's not necessarily a good thing to never move more than a few times in your life or to never change your status.
Little Xie Yi came to see his mother.
Huan Yue picked him up.
The child was very happy, even though he was a big kid.
"Mommy~~Mommy~~~" He is a little baby.
Huan Yue held one baby in each arm, waiting to see if the baby had slept enough.
Little Xie Tan is being affectionate with his mother and hugging his older brother; he is the happiest baby in the world.
