Huan Yue felt that it was quite a lot of effort to get everyone to plant more trees.
Trees planted now will take hundreds or thousands of years to grow into old trees.
One generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade.
It's not that the ancients didn't plant trees; there are many stories about them.
However, without conscious effort, trees seem to be everywhere, and people only plant them when needed. By the time you can no longer see so many trees, it's too late.
Planting trees isn't all good, but it's mostly beneficial. We'll see if we can cultivate some better varieties later.
It doesn't matter if Huan Yue doesn't understand. Given her position, if she guides her properly, someone will definitely take the lead.
Just like Liu San, he was no good at leading troops, no good at strategizing, and no good at logistics, but he was still able to become emperor despite being a rogue.
This is the difference between being a ruler and being a subject, between being a master and being a servant.
Di Baose can now pull Huan Yue aside and ask him questions.
Huan Yue looked at her, scratching her toes for a long time but couldn't find anything.
Di Baose didn't want to admit it.
Huan Yue encouraged her: "No one will teach you properly. You are still young. You should know your mistakes and learn from them. You will understand slowly."
Di Baose snorted: "Who did you learn that from?"
Huan Yue ignored her.
Di Baose was anxious again.
In a moment of genuine urgency, Huan Yue asked, "What should we do with the Crown Prince's savior?"
Di Baose tried to remain calm: "Thank her."
Huan Yue asked, "What if it's a woman who spends several months with the Crown Prince?"
Of course, it was Di Baose who stared wide-eyed!
Huan Yue scoffed, "You're worried about the large number of people in the Eastern Palace? This is just the beginning. It'll be bustling and lively from here on out. If you want to live well, then live your own life. Who cares who comes? And who can change your surname?"
Di Baose thought about it and was still unwilling to give up: "She's different."
Huan Yue poked her head: "You're so stupid, I don't believe you. By the way, the Empress has been good to you, haven't you thanked her properly yet?"
Di Baose's brain really couldn't keep up.
Huan Yue knew this, so he said directly, "Bring her here in the name of the Empress. Otherwise, she's smart enough not to come. Take her to the capital and teach her manners for a while, then choose an auspicious day to enter the Eastern Palace."
Di Baose didn't understand: "Why?"
Huan Yue patted her head.
The Di family will answer her questions.
Chang Ziyu from Changhe County suddenly disappeared. Aren't some people panicking?
Panic is when things start to get interesting.
Di Baose asked, "Why in the name of the Empress?"
Huan Yue countered, "Whose name is the most effective?"
Di Baose remained silent. Even if she were to frame the Empress, why should she feel any sympathy?
Furthermore, since the Empress knew someone had saved the Crown Prince, shouldn't she take action? Letting her enter the Eastern Palace would be the best reward.
Di Baose probably knew that the Crown Prince's affair was related to the Dong family, and this was to provoke her.
Di Baose looked at Huan Yue with such malice! Oh, right: "The Empress is copying 'Admonitions for Women' behind closed doors; she probably doesn't know for a while, does she?"
Huan Yue said, "Does it matter whether I know it or not?"
Di Baose suddenly realized. She was who she was. Being called the Crown Princess wasn't as good as being called the Empress.
Di Baose went back to find Sun.
Gong Fengyi came to see the Empress again, and knelt down to kowtow to her.
Huan Yue told her to get up: "There's no need for that. I heard your younger brother is quick-witted, so he'll surely be fine."
Gong Fengyi stood up and said, "I wonder what my plans are for the future?"
Huan Yue said, "He's thirteen, not seven, and he knows you care about him, so he'll probably choose his own path."
Gong Fengyi said with shame, "I don't understand as well as Your Majesty does. Besides, I didn't take care of him when he was young, and he doesn't need me now."
Huan Yue said, "The best care is for everyone to live well."
Gong Fengyi smiled, and it was especially beautiful: "This concubine will humbly follow Your Majesty's teachings."
The younger brother probably wanted to support her.
And if she lives well, she can provide support for her younger brother. Therefore, living well is the best choice for everyone.
She didn't aspire to climb high. As long as she lived well in the Eastern Palace and could get a little help from others, that would be enough for most people.
Looking at those wealthy servants, Gong Fengyi could still live a decent life, right?
After she left, Xiuyun chatted with the Empress: "This time you've done a good job, you should be rewarded."
Huan Yue laughed and said, "Let's see who it is first, no rush."
Xiuyun nodded. Indeed, there's a long road ahead.
Chaoyun came over and asked the Empress in a low voice, "How should we arrange things after that person is brought over?"
Huan Yue blinked and laughed, "When the time comes, we'll bring Di Baose back. A village girl like her will be given a Chenghui title, that'll be enough."
As for what that scoundrel should do, he'll decide later. Even out of respect for the Crown Princess, he shouldn't change his mind so easily.
After all, they had a sweet romance for a long time in the book, and now that they're in the Eastern Palace, they can slowly develop their relationship. Cheng Hui is more than enough for them. It's much better than sneaking around.
They don't need to worry about others; it's perfectly legitimate. The Crown Prince can favor whomever he wants.
Huan Yue said, "I hereby grant you residence in Shicui Palace, and all expenses shall be in accordance with those of Qing'e Palace and Chengxiang Palace. You must treat Your Highness's savior well."
Chaoyun felt a chill.
Cheng Hui is certainly qualified. Being able to enter the Eastern Palace as a Fengyi (a high-ranking official) is a blessing.
It would be strange to live in the Shicui Palace.
However, Chaoyun did not want to refute what the Empress said.
Despite her good temper, Your Highness can't even get along with His Highness when she's in a bad mood.
Chaoyun felt that His Highness should handle the matter between His Highness and His Highness himself.
Chao Yun said in a low voice, "If we live in Shicui Palace, I'm afraid the Pei family won't dare to acknowledge us."
Huan Yue said, "That's hard to say. Those are brainless."
Chao Yun blinked. Indeed.
She couldn't even imagine what kind of chaotic scene it would be.
However, the Empress is unlikely to suffer any loss.
Her Highness's position wasn't secured by the Pei family, but by herself. As for that other person, it all depends on how His Highness treats her.
Even Chaoyun couldn't say for sure. It's like asking who a sage might favor—who can know for sure?
Just do your job at Qing'e Palace quietly and keep your position secure. So what if you're favored?
Huan Yue enjoyed his meal.
Don't think that those favored concubines are above everyone else. There are actually certain rules governing them.
Chao Yun pondered, "Is the Empress going to help Di Baose fight the monster?"
Di Baose is quite useful, as long as she's not too muddle-headed. Besides, a little stupidity is what makes a queen necessary.
Di Baose has power and prestige; everyone's happy. So, Di Baose should keep up the good work.
It's good that Chaoyun is in Qing'e Palace with less to do. She can eat three big bowls of food with the Empress. Who is destined to be a busybody?
Green Jade Courtyard.
Seeing that Gong Fengyi seemed quite happy, Ju Fengyi asked her, "How is your younger brother?"
Gong Fengyi nodded: "Your Majesty is so kind and benevolent."
Ju Fengyi asked, "So, what have you decided to do?"
Gong Fengyi shook her head: "It's not easy."
Ju Fengyi invited, "Would you like to make an embroidered screen with me?"
Gong Fengyi thought for a moment and said, "I can be your assistant, and you can treat me to tea."
Ju Fengyi wasn't stingy, after all, they had lived together for quite some time: "If we really make a profit, I'll give you 30%."
Gong Fengyi bowed and said, "Thank you in advance."
Ju Fengyi is delighted! The embroidered screen is well made; it shouldn't be hard to sell.
When Ren Fengyi came over, he heard Jia Fengyi coughing again, as if she was not feeling well.
It did not affect Ju Fengyi's mood.
That's how it is in the palace; you just have to mind your own business.
