About ten days later, the two pavilions were repaired, and Di Baose was lively and energetic again.
Huan Yue dressed beautifully and went out to admire the flowers.
In addition to the four peony bushes that Consort Cui had given her, the Crown Prince had also brought over some more.
Now is the best time for peonies to bloom, and peonies are also starting to bloom one after another.
The flowerbed in front of the rear hall wasn't large, but it was enough to display some peonies and peonies.
The Jixian Pavilion on the east side and the Huishu Pavilion on the west side are roughly the same.
However, Jixian Pavilion has a pyramidal roof with four corners, while Huishu Pavilion has an octagonal pyramidal roof.
Like Jixian Pavilion, Huishu Pavilion has four pillars, simple yet elegant. The platform is one foot high, and the lowest point of the eaves is only seven feet from the ground, but it's not that tall, so you don't have to bend down.
There are only four pillars around the pavilion, so the inside doesn't feel cramped; it's like a large umbrella.
The stone table in Jixian Pavilion is located on the east side, and the seats between the two pillars on the east side of the pavilion are very convenient for people to sit on.
There is a very simple railing on the west side of the pavilion, and outside the railing is a simple flower bed.
Now the flower beds are filled with all kinds of flowers and bonsai, so people won't accidentally step into them.
There were chairs inside the railing, which is where Huan Yue sat to admire the flowers.
"I need a chair," said Di Baose.
Huan Yue was surprised: "You have this much free time?"
Di Baose kept a straight face. Was she not allowed to lie down?
They really don't deserve it.
Only the matriarch of the household can be so free; which young person isn't busy?
Di Baose said angrily, "Those two books still belong to my family."
Huan Yue reminded him, "You are now the Empress Dowager of the Crown Prince's Palace, so don't worry about the Di family's affairs. The Di family's master might not even want you to worry about them."
Di Baose was so angry she wanted to cry. Wasn't she tired enough every day?
Huan Yue thought she looked quite energetic.
Di Baose suggested, "Can't I just do needlework?"
Huan Yue asked, "Do you know how hard it is to work at the Shanggong Bureau every day? Do you still have the right to be willful? Why don't you go and stay at the Shanggong Bureau for a while?"
Di Baose was furious! How could she be compared to the Minister of Works?
Huan Yue looked down on her, saying that her needlework was probably no better than that of the people in the Shanggong Bureau.
Huan Yue said, "Looking at how hard others work, you'll realize how fortunate you are. The worst thing you can do is not appreciate what you have. The most important thing is to cherish and accumulate blessings."
Di Baose looked at her and said, "Why are you so free?"
Huan Yue rubbed his head and said, "I am content with what I have and I cherish my blessings."
Jia Fengyi strolled over; Huan Yue had given her permission to come.
Jia Fengyi was barely able to come out; she was so thin that she would collapse if the wind blew her down. The once beautiful woman had become so thin that she looked unrecognizable.
Huan Yue casually asked, "Do you know how lucky you are?"
Jia Fengyi swayed unsteadily, looking aggrieved, but she had no intention of kneeling, hoping to evoke pity and tenderness.
Ren Fengyi, who only wanted to have fun and wasn't in a hurry to earn money, came over to cling to Consort Huan's leg and said, "She heard that the attacks on Your Majesty are very fierce these days, so she has the courage, which is good. Your Majesty should take good care of her, otherwise it would be Your Majesty's fault if she dies."
Huan Yue remained unfazed: "Less salt, less oil, less sugar, and you'll be healthier."
Di Baose sat down and began to lecture people in a new light: "Are you lacking food or clothing in the Eastern Palace? Has anyone been tormenting you? Do you know how many people in this world are starving and cold, and have to work even when they are sick? What are you complaining about?"
Ren Fengyi said, "She wants to be promoted and she wants her son to support her. In the future, she can become one of the four imperial concubines. It's not impossible for her son to compete for it."
Huan Yue looked at her: "You know too much."
Ren Fengyi said playfully, "Isn't that all?"
There's still no sign of a son, so we should start planning as soon as possible.
Huan Yue asked, "Do you often bully her when you live together?"
Ren Fengyi protested her innocence: "Absolutely not! Your Majesty is wise. She is the most cunning. I just need to avoid offending her."
Huan Yue said, "Then why did you offend her?"
Ren Fengyi fell silent and watched the show from the sidelines.
There are many criticisms leveled against the Empress from outside, but His Highness has protected her very well.
On the contrary, the Dong family, the Fu family, and others suffered a lot of losses, and even the Pei family was criticized.
Seeing the eunuch approach, Ren Fengyi was excited, knowing it must be good news again.
The eunuch whispered, "We want to take back the Pei family's residence. Quite a few people are helping the Pei family."
Huan Yueyue: "The Pei family is quite popular."
Ren Fengyi chuckled to herself. Where did the Pei family get their popularity? They were just using it as a raft, and a bunch of idiots in the Pei family were jumping around on it.
What does their falling out with the Empress have to do with it? Is the Empress worried that she can't find an opportunity?
The eunuch said, "The youngest son of the Duke of Rongguo is gone, and his favorite concubine is going around cursing and saying that Consort Huan is wrong. The Emperor has issued an edict ordering the Duke of Rongguo to go back and reflect on his mistakes."
Huan Yue was bewildered: "What does this have to do with me? Could it be that that brat really harbors rebellious intentions and will become the crown prince in the future?"
The eunuch dared not respond, only saying, "Many people spoke up for the Duke of Rong, which is why more than ten people have been demoted in succession."
Huan Yue, having banged his head, dared to say, "The Duke of Rong has such great power! Even in seclusion he has so many people helping him. If he were to advocate righteousness, wouldn't the whole world flock to his cause?"
The eunuch ran away.
If this continues, the Duke of Rong might actually make the proposal.
As for whether to take the throne yourself or support King Qi, don't overthink it.
Huan Yue closed his eyes, enjoying the cool early summer breeze and the faint fragrance in it.
They felt that the sage had figured things out and had enough evidence, so it was time to deal with him.
Anyone who dares to slander the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace will be treated leniently by being demoted; if this continues, bloodshed is inevitable.
It's inherently cruel; doesn't the Pei family always ask Huan Yue if he wants to live?
Ren Fengyi asked curiously, "That child is perfectly fine..."
How could he die? Could he be like the son of Prince Huayuan, used to trick the Empress?
I've heard that Prince Huayuan's son is doing quite well.
Although the Princess Consort disliked Consort Huan, the Wu Prince's faction was just putting on an act, at least not saying it openly.
Sunny said softly, "Many children don't survive."
Why is the blame being placed on Consort Huan for no reason, just because she is a favored concubine of the Dong family? Does she have Empress Dong's backing?
The Duke of Rongguo is too disrespectful to the royal family; it's only a matter of time before we take action against him.
Jia Fengyi was a little confused.
The wind made her even more confused, and she actually fell down with a thud.
Sunny felt sorry for her. Falling on the cobblestones must hurt a lot.
They dare to act so recklessly just because they have Dong Hou backing them up? A wise person knows when to yield.
Sunny was clever. There were people looking for her, but they didn't dare to come to the East Palace, so Sunny wasn't afraid.
Following Lady Huan, I no longer felt so anxious; Lady Dong treated me like I wasn't human.
Lady Su is still not well, which shows what good can come from listening to Lady Dong.
A palace attendant came to report: "Pei Yuannu pays respects to Your Majesty."
Huan Yue remained silent.
Di Baose said, "I won't see you."
Huan Yue glanced at her, "Should we not meet?"
Did Di Baose see that her headache had subsided?
pain.
That's settled then, isn't it? What kind of status does Pei Yuannu have? Since Huan Yue has already broken ties with the Pei family, why should he still give Pei Yuannu face?
Zhu Jin guessed, "Perhaps Pei Yuannu's in-laws were implicated, and she came to plead for them."
Di Baose scoffed: "The Pei family slandered Huan Yue, and now that they've been demoted, they're coming to Huan Yue to plead for mercy?"
He insulted you, and you expect him to be lenient and forgive him because he's foul-mouthed.
Then he cursed her as fiercely as the Duke of Rong's favorite concubine.
Huan Yue admires the flowers.
It's better to leave Pei Yuannu's affairs to Bai Yueguang.
Huan Yue decided not to get involved.
