After dinner, Huan Yue took a peaceful afternoon nap.
The rear hall and surrounding area have been cleaned up.
The broken bluestone slab was quickly replaced.
Ren Fengyi touched her knee; Yue Nan was definitely ruined, and the Crown Prince hadn't been held responsible.
Di Baose sat under the old ginkgo tree, contemplating life.
Ren Fengyi felt she also needed to think about it; the Empress was usually quite nice, but she was terrifying when she lost her temper.
Look how terrified the Crown Princess of Wu was!
Ren Fengyi didn't have that kind of status and rarely had contact with the Crown Princess of Wu, but she had heard of her. After all, the King of Wu was quite famous.
Although the King of Wu was the eldest son born out of wedlock, he was even more powerful than the current king. The Queen Consort of Wu was also very influential, coming from a prominent family. It was a clear case of the legitimate heir ruling.
It's not that the Dong family is incompetent, but the Dong clan is unreliable; now that Consort Pei is not as good as the Crown Prince's wife, isn't that because they were careless and thus paid a heavy price?
Sun saw that Di Baose couldn't figure it out, but if he could scare her a little, that would be good.
Di Baose looked at her: "What do the Grand Princess and the Crown Princess want with the Empress?"
Sun was unaware of this.
Di Baose pondered, "He's bringing those young ladies along; they're either for His Highness or Prince Qi."
Sun nodded seriously, "That's possible."
The Prince of Qi is eighteen years old. If His Highness were to bestow a marriage upon him the year before last, the whole process would take one or two years, which is considered fast.
However, Di Baose said, "Those few are all so-so. Yue Nan wouldn't be it, would he? Or it would be Prince Peng."
Sun's lips twitched. Prince Peng is the greatest.
Empress Dong was able to arrange for the Crown Prince to take a concubine first, but Prince Qi could never surpass Prince Peng, so this matter was quite urgent.
Empress Dong was eager for the crown prince's position and also anxious to find a good wife for her son. As for what kind of woman she would give to Prince Peng, those she gave him today seemed quite suitable.
Di Baose's imagination ran wild: "The Empress Dowager always has her eye on the Pei family's young ladies, and she's been promoting them..."
Sun was dumbfounded; it really was possible.
Generally speaking, being summoned to the Empress Dowager is a sign of respect. Then, a few words of praise will be offered.
Just like when Consort Pei bestowed a marriage, it was something the Empress could say at will.
The "Central Palace" refers to Miss Pei, who is not only disgusting to Prince Peng, but also to the Crown Prince.
Di Baose realized how disgusting Empress Dong was. Such a disgusting person was capable of any disgusting thing.
Di Baose asked, "Is there any news from the Empress?"
The eunuch shook his head.
Sunny said in a low voice, "If it's about the Dong family in Shou'an County, the Empress can vehemently deny it; but it's different for the Grand Princess's Xi Lang."
Although the Grand Princess was acting recklessly, she still had to inform the Empress before entering the palace.
The Empress is not going to get away with this.
Di Baose asked Madam Sun, "It seems that Consort Cui is in charge of the Imperial Concubine selection this year, so could it be that the Empress is trying to frame her?"
Sunny was so surprised!
This idea is really creative!
Even if it weren't true, wouldn't the Empress Dowager be blamed for this just because the Consort is favored?
The selection of concubines is handled by the Ministry of Rites and the palace. Who was the Minister of Rites before? The father-in-law of Lady Dong. In the palace, the Empress absolutely controls everything. If they bring these women in, the Imperial Concubine will be in serious trouble.
Di Baose felt that it was fine to just sit in the East Palace and watch the show, while the inner palace was still lively.
Mrs. Sun was comforted. If she could calm down, life would be peaceful.
Regardless of whether Di Baose was a Liangdi or Zhaoxun, her food, clothing, and daily necessities were the same.
**
The Pei family is not qualified to receive people from the palace.
The eunuchs escorted the young ladies of the Pei family to the Pei residence in Anxingfang.
Right now, Sheng'an is in a state of shock and turmoil.
The fact that several young ladies of the Pei family were beaten together was both lively and shocking.
By now, the Pei residence has been almost completely destroyed, hasn't it? Pei Bo is still not recovered.
Pei Jinnu, Pei Huanjiao, Pei Huanfeng, and several others were beaten together. The seven young ladies of the Pei family were all strange and eccentric.
Some of the bolder ones scaled the walls, crawled through dog holes, and sneaked into the Pei residence to watch the spectacle.
I dare say that of the seven young ladies, the Pei family's young ladies are at least decent. As for that playboy, if he can gain an advantage, who cares about his character?
Qinglong Hall is in complete chaos!
Pei Huanfeng was beaten, slapped in the face and punished with a cane, and Madam Qian was about to cause a huge uproar!
Before the doctor even arrived, Madam Qian wanted to have a fight with Madam Li!
"I want her dead!" Qian cried out in a shrill voice, as if she were a ghost!
"I should have strangled her back then!" Qian's face was full of knife-like wrinkles.
"That despicable woman deserves to be killed a thousand times! She shouldn't have been raised like this!" Madam Qian was filled with hatred to the core!
Her son, husband, and daughter all fell victim to that counterfeit product.
It was all Li's idea, that old hag! Qian wanted to kill her with a knife!
Lady Li sat on the couch, wearing a brown silk robe with pine, crane and deer patterns, and her white hair was adorned with a large phoenix hairpin with a large gemstone on it.
With an imposing and domineering aura, Li stared sharply at Qian and said, "You idiot!"
When Qian lost his temper, he smashed all the antiques in Qinglongtang to the ground!
Madam Li was furious and cursed, "Fool! Ignorant fool! It's a waste for the Pei family to have a daughter-in-law like you! You didn't raise your own daughter properly, and now she's like this, and you still don't know how to repent!"
Qian screamed, "Give me back my daughter!"
Li shouted, "You want to die!"
Qian was not afraid of death: "I want that bitch to die first!"
Suddenly, Xia slapped Qian across the face.
The Qian family was stunned.
Xia slapped her again and yelled, "If you want to die, don't drag others down with you! I still want to live!"
The Qian family wants to kill the Xia family!
Xia rolled up her sleeves, grabbed Qian's ear, and roared, "Do you know the punishment of exterminating nine generations of your family? Not a single member of the Qian family will be spared!"
It was Qian who did this! Xia was filled with regret; how could she be so unlucky?
Pei Jing returned. He was in his thirties and looked quite good, so he wasn't surprised by the farce that had unfolded in the Pei family.
Lady Li looked at him.
Pei Jing quickly greeted his grandmother, then glanced at his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law's cousin is quite something; he managed to get his hands on Dong's own aunt."
After hearing about the Qian family, Qian heard about her cousin and what was going on with the Dong family's aunt.
Pei Jing said, "Xue Dongshi kept some handsome young men (women), and Magistrate Qian arrested them."
Qian shouted, "Impossible!"
Who dares to offend the Xue family or the Dong family? The Pei family is all pointing their fingers at Empress Dong.
Pei Jing said, "The imperial edict has been issued, and Bao Hui has gone to investigate. We still don't know how Minister Xue is doing."
Li asked, "Is it that serious?"
Pei Jing looked at his grandmother and saw that she had really aged: "Raising a boy like a girl and sending him to the palace. What do you think, Grandmother?"
The palace is a bit far from the Pei family. Although it used to be so close, it's not actually that close.
Pei Su has returned. Pei Bo is in the mansion, but he is lying on the bed and hasn't been moved over.
The servant came over and whispered to the old master, "The people of Changhe County are gone."
Li's eyes widened suddenly: "What did you say?"
The old servant knew what the old master was panicking about, but there was nothing he could do: "When we arrived, the person was gone, and the neighbors didn't know either."
Li was trembling!
The thing I'm most worried about is that this means someone knows about Chang Ziyu!
Chang Ziyu's card wasn't hidden well, so what will happen to all the planning?
The old servant whispered, "I went to Baishi Village and invited that family to Sheng'an."
A sharp light flashed in Li's eyes, and she nodded firmly: "Good!"
Pei Su didn't understand: "What are you trying to do?"
Lady Li had long given up hope on her son, and suddenly set her sights on Lady Cao.
Cao was so frightened that she trembled.
