It was raining.
Huan Yue was practicing the Eight Pieces of Brocade in his room.
She turned her head and saw what that scoundrel was doing here? Wasn't he supposed to be at court this morning?
The eunuchs exchanged glances, wondering why the prince and empress were not doing well.
Xie Zhou got up early, hadn't washed or combed his hair yet, and had a headache. Why was he looking at his wife?
Huan Yue ignored him and continued practicing the Eight Pieces of Brocade.
Xie Zhou sat to one side, observing his wife's excellent flexibility; she seemed capable of doing this, that, and even more difficult feats, and he worried that he himself couldn't do it. "No? How can a man say he can't?"
Xie Zhou felt he could do it now; if he could beat his wife, he would have done it immediately.
After Huan Yue finished practicing, he left Chengen Hall.
Xie Zhou had a headache. Why did he feel like he was waiting for Cheng'en's favor? Didn't his wife see that he had a headache? His wife didn't care about him at all.
Life was tough. He felt wronged. After tidying up, Xie Zhou went to the back hall to find his wife.
Di Baose came over to see what His Highness was doing. She had never seen him act so spoiled before.
So His Highness can be delicate too? This is truly an eye-opener. Di Baose decided to observe from the sidelines.
Xie Zhou glanced at her; she was an eyesore.
Ah, she's sitting right here. Dibose is queen now!
Huan Yue watched and, seeing her performance was excellent, gave her an extra chicken leg.
Di Baose doesn't like Pei Huanyue, but she feels pretty good about herself right now.
Seeing that she had had her fill of pleasure, Zhu Jin dragged her to the west wing room.
It seems there's a lack of space. But the west wing was for servants, and Di Baose shouldn't be concerned about her status now.
The west wing room has been tidied up. It's not small, and it's warm enough to seat several people.
There's a tatami mat there; it's nice to lean back and relax when you feel like it.
East side room.
Xie Zhou entered the house and sat at the dining table. Looking at the large table of food, he felt a particularly good appetite.
Huan Yue thought about it and figured the scoundrel was probably just having his period. Besides, she relied on him for a living, so she should just ignore him.
After quietly finishing the meal, Xie Zhou was fully recharged, and his headache was gone.
Huan Yue was going to the study to see the scoundrel following her.
Xie Zhou thought for a moment and then pulled her to the front Cheng'en Hall. There were too many people in the back hall, and he had to consider his feelings.
The study in Chengen Hall is larger than the rear hall. The windows are closed, but the couch by the window is slightly lit.
The additional lamp in the corner adds a touch of elegance to the study.
The imperial sandalwood screen inlaid with jade and dragon patterns was placed there, and everyone treated it with utmost care.
Xie Zhou knew that his father had many good things, and he would give them all to his wife in the future.
Huan Yue looked at him, wondering if his mind had gotten any better.
Xie Zhou immediately returned to normal, displaying an emperor's coldness: "What are your thoughts on your background?"
Huan Yue said calmly, "Your Highness, please speak plainly."
Xie Zhou seemed to know her temperament: "You should be the eldest daughter of the Chang family in Baishi Village, Changhe County. You were switched at birth with Miss Pei."
Huan Yue said insincerely, "This matter seems quite troublesome."
Xie Zhou was exasperated and showed her the portrait.
Huan Yue glanced at it once, but didn't look at it a second time.
Xie Zhou asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Huan Yue said, "They should know what's going on, right? Since they've already accepted it, they have to accept it all."
Xie Zhou nodded slowly.
This wasn't the first time he'd experienced his wife's ruthlessness.
Besides, they've never spent any time together, so it's strange that he would have much affection for the Chang family. Anyway, his wife isn't pretending in front of him.
Compared to Chang Ziyu's disgusting act, his wife was beautiful no matter how you looked at her.
Xie Zhou thought, "Chang Ziyu doesn't usually go back to Baishi Village, and her relationship with the Chang family is too distant. They must know that."
Huan Yue said, "If they are forced by power, then they don't need to come for power. Just ensure they have enough to eat and wear."
Xie Zhou nodded.
This is like some people thinking about what Di Baose should do, considering she is the only niece of Empress Mingde.
Isn't ensuring they have enough to eat and wear?
The Chang family, pressured by power, dared not go to their daughter and let her suffer in the Pei family. How could they face their daughter when she finally stood up for herself?
Xie Zhou asked his wife, "Do you know Chang Ziyu?"
Huan Yue looked at him coldly: "Your Highness is referring to Miss Chang saving you?"
Xie Zhou hurriedly swore: "The matter was rather complicated at the time, and I only stayed there for a while."
oh.
Xie Zhou felt guilty: "I did nothing."
Huan Yue asked, "Does Baishi Village have any good stones?"
Xie Zhou blushed: "I didn't notice."
Never mind then. Huan Yue left.
Xie Zhou quickly grabbed her hand from behind.
Huan Yue threw him onto the bed.
It's not that she's being dramatic. Today it's not Chang Ziyu, tomorrow it will be Li Ziyu, and the day after tomorrow it will be Wang Ziyu.
Let's all live together and not ask for too much. For example, the prime minister should do the prime minister's job, and the Taichang Temple should do the Taichang Temple's job.
It may be a patriarchal society, but women are entitled to have demands.
In the book, the fake heiress conceived four children, but none of them survived; the wicked cousin conceived five, but none of them survived.
Regardless of what happened with the book, it seems the scoundrel also reacted.
He treated his first love very well, and he also had several concubines, all of whom were defeated by his first love.
Huan Yue was too lazy to play these games; he went back to the inner palace to practice his flying white sword technique.
Xie Zhou lay on the couch, still not quite understanding Pei Shi.
It's not that she's without cunning, but she just doesn't like playing those games.
Like in my previous life, I could play with the Dong family. Maybe it was too tiring?
Xie Zhou encountered even more troubles at the imperial court, but he wasn't tired! He was busy!
First, depose Lady Dong. As long as Lady Dong continues her misbehavior, it won't be long before she is deposed.
The rear hall, the study.
Di Baose came to find Pei Huanyue.
Huan Yue glanced at her: "Don't contact me at this time unless it's important. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble."
Di Baose was furious. She just sat there and said, "What do you want to do?"
Huan Yue said, "Don't call me Pei Huan Yue anymore, or I'll beat you every time you do."
Di Baose's eyes widened! However, she was still a daughter of the Pei family!
Huan Yue felt at ease and flew away.
Di Baose sat to one side, picking at his toes. He picked at them for a long time, still unsure how to deal with Chang Ziyu.
If it were before, she would have definitely rushed over and killed Chang Ziyu.
But Lady Sun said that Chang Ziyu had a reputation for saving His Highness, so she couldn't act recklessly.
Di Baose heard that Chang Ziyu wasn't saving anyone; she was a complete slut!
Yu Yan came to the Empress: "The saplings are ready. Would Your Majesty like to take a look?"
Huan Yue got up and went out to take a look.
This sapling is taller than a person and is growing quite well.
Huan Yue boasted, "Planting trees brings good fortune; for every ten feet a tree grows taller, wealth increases threefold; for every ten years a tree lives, life is extended by one autumn."
Yu Yan thought it was a brilliant performance!
It's just planting a tree; wouldn't the King of Wu be happy to plant it?
Your Majesty doesn't need to send gold and silver treasures; this is much more elegant.
Huan Yue took a sip of hot tea: "If a family has the means, each person should plant one tree every spring."
The palace maid said, "Trees can also ward off disasters and such."
Huan Yue said, "Then you don't know that there are people who call trees 'godfather' and 'godmother'."
One of the eunuchs laughed and said, "This is a custom in my hometown. They look for old trees. With godfathers and godmothers, it's easier to raise them."
Huan Yue sighed, "Life is not easy, so we should do good deeds in our daily lives, and we will always be blessed."
Why not plant more trees?
