The Crown Prince emerged from Xuanfu Gate in a grand procession.
There are several children as well.
Yan Boxuan hitched a ride in his second uncle's car.
Huan Yue held Jiu Lang in his arms.
Hachiro couldn't hold on, so several wet nurses surrounded him, trembling with fear the whole way.
The harem was filled with joy; it wouldn't be good if the Eighth Prince were crying.
We entered Changqiu Palace and Jiaofang Hall.
It's early, but everyone is here.
Wow! Hachiro was the first to explode.
Qiansha was very cautious, almost startled. It had been a long time since a child had cried in the palace.
The empresses in the palace didn't allow their children to enter, and they were a bit lonely. But they couldn't bear to see their children cry.
Jin Dian frowned: "What's wrong?"
Dong Qian, standing to the side, chimed in, "Qing'e doesn't have any children."
He roared, "Get out!"
Dong Qian was stunned. She went to the palace and cried even louder than Balang, but no one paid any attention to her.
Wen Miao was too lazy to plead for him. Was Dong Qian out of his mind? Didn't he know what to say?
Or they might believe rumors spread outside and refuse to accept their failures. In that case, it's impossible to correct their mistakes.
Xie Yu did not plead for him. After all, he was only able to enter the palace because his father, the Emperor, had given him face.
It's not that the siblings are heartless, but Dong Qian would definitely not do anything smart if he stayed.
Xie Yu was dressed in a python robe, similar in appearance to a duke or a prince. He was young and had a presentable appearance.
Kong Zhenjun sat beside him, expressionless.
Princess Changning looked at her with a face like a dead person's. It was very unlucky; she wondered if her third brother regretted it.
Xie Yu regretted it but couldn't say it. The Confucius family was truly boring. Fortunately, there was still a beauty, but none of that mattered now.
Hachiro kept crying.
He waved his hand and said, "Take him away."
When Sun and her wet nurse left, they had to stay far away, otherwise the crying would reach the Jiaofang Palace.
This child is really at a disadvantage. It's not easy for a prince to get attention from the emperor. And a crying baby isn't necessarily the one who gets milk.
A character like Jiulang Xiao, who is known for his shrewdness, would certainly have a place in the scene.
Consort Zhu held Jiulang in her arms and showed him to the Emperor. How pleasing was her beaming smile!
The emperor nodded and let the eldest son begin.
Xie Jian and his new wife Wen Miao knelt respectfully before their father, the Emperor.
Wen Miao looks quite beautiful today; after all, she's not ugly. Now she's a princess, and she looks more like one than the crown princess.
Not to mention the Crown Princess's special status, Kong Zhenjun was also dressed in bright red. Fortunately, the weather was nice at the moment, otherwise she would have looked like a scary female ghost.
However, given her appearance, she would look terrifying even in white; even children would be scared.
The emperor is very pleased with Wen, and the rewards he bestows upon her are comparable to those given to Qing'e.
Giving Qing'e was compensation back then, and giving Wen's wife now is compensation for Da Lang.
Xie Jian was thrilled. His father was very kind; he would be a dutiful son from now on.
The emperor waved his hand, signaling them to pay their respects to Consort Shen first.
When Lady Zhu came, she would always try to switch places with Consort Shen, but Consort Shen refused to sit in the seat of Consort De.
Now, Zhu doesn't care at all, especially since she has a son and is a mother-in-law.
Lady Shen was still wiping away tears, deeply moved. She had seen the dignity bestowed upon her by the Emperor, and had no regrets whatsoever.
Let bygones be bygones. From now on, he will be the Prince of Zhao, and he should live his life well.
Even when those people scheme against him, it's not the same as before.
The Wen family wasn't exactly easy to deal with. Even though Grand Tutor Wen hadn't done anything, dealing with him would involve the Crown Prince.
So, since Shen couldn't control her daughter-in-law, she gave her daughter-in-law everything she could offer.
Fortunately, Wen Miao had a gift list with her; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to move it at all. She wasn't some superhuman being like Qing'e.
Mrs. Zhu watched with amusement. Even though she had never been a mother-in-law, she still had to learn.
Wenmiao was getting better and better, and Zhu was wondering where to find a suitable match for her son.
I don't ask for anything else, just that I can get along with my eldest and second sisters-in-law.
Xie Jian no longer needs to kneel before Consort De and his stepmother.
Zhu was very generous, and she also bestowed what she could upon Princess Peng. As long as she remained the Consort De, she could save enough for her son over the next few years.
Consort Shen looked at it and realized that this was a gift from the Empress Dowager.
Madam Zhu smiled and said, "This concubine dares to bestow it on behalf of the Empress Dowager."
Having elders around is a blessing, and Wenmiao politely accepted them all.
Although Consort Li's rank was lower than that of Princess Peng, she held a higher seniority, and as a member of a wealthy and powerful family, the gifts she sent were quite substantial.
Wenmiao smiled.
Li Zhaorong liked her demeanor: "Don't even mention Qing'e's longing for her, Changning will follow her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law from now on."
Fang Jieyu added: "And Guangning and Yongning too."
Wenmiao is a truly devoted sister-in-law.
Qian Sha is even more beautiful than before now that she's pregnant. She said sweetly, "Having a sister-in-law makes all the difference. Even Empress Huan seems to have a pillar of support now."
Huan Yue nodded: "Our family will definitely prosper even more in the future!"
Look at Zhu Shi, Qing'e is the best at talking. She says things that the sage would love to hear.
She especially cares about her large family; this is how a crown princess should be.
Unlike before, when Madam Dong wished she were the only one, and harmony was nowhere to be seen.
Qian Sha asked, "What is Lady Huan planning to give to my sister-in-law?"
Huan Yue had two saplings brought over!
Jin Dian laughed and asked, "What kind of tree is this?"
Huan Yue said, "This privet tree and this elm tree together represent unwavering loyalty."
Everyone was stunned; they really knew how to give away these two saplings!
Huan Yue said, “When a ruler is wise, his ministers are upright; therefore, he desires ministers of integrity and loyalty. Families benefit from the virtue of women, and they especially rely on the assistance of wise and virtuous women. Women endure the harsh winter, and their beauty surpasses that of peaches and plums.”
Today, Da Yue exclaimed, "Great!"
Xie Jian and Wenmiao expressed their gratitude.
Guo Bing observed, "If King Peng is an elm tree, then the concubine is a privet? This is not dodder."
Fang Jieyu also thought it was a coincidence that she remained loyal! Of course, Princess Peng could give it away, but a concubine could not.
And to whom are they loyal? The Sage! Implicitly, His Highness. Therefore, the Sage will be pleased.
Next are Xie Yu and Kong Zhenjun.
Kong Zhenjun stared at Wen Miao with a very strange look in her eyes.
Wen Miao remained completely calm.
Kong Zhenjun's stern face was about to crack, and finally it did, and she collapsed.
Xie Yu almost broke apart. What exactly was Confucius doing?
She seems quite calm these days. Watching Wen Shi is rather interesting. Perhaps she's just too indifferent?
Xie Jian was startled and looked at his wife. Wow, she's amazing! He'll be clinging to her coattails from now on!
Wen Miao blushed slightly. Actually, she didn't do anything; do you all believe that?
Qian Sha patted her chest, thankfully Princess Peng had taken Kong Zhenjun in as a concubine, and Princess Peng would be someone not to be trifled with in the future.
Xing Meiren blinked, finding it quite interesting.
The sister-in-law who could make Lady Huan think about her must be no ordinary person.
Only those who can command respect can be considered the head of the family. Then, this branch of the family won't be afraid of being bullied.
Xie Yu quickly apologized to his father, the emperor.
Huan Yue interjected, "Sanlang may not know about women's affairs."
To give Qing'e face, we won't send Sanlang back on this day; instead, we'll have Kong Zhenjun sent back.
Regardless of what Xie Yu thought in her heart, she politely thanked her second sister-in-law.
Huan Yue said, "It may not be appropriate for me to say this, but just like I feel sorry for the Wu King's cousins, Sanlang is even more outstanding than them. He must live a life of honor. So that the Dong family can still be proud of you! So that you can tell others in the afterlife, 'My son!' And you are so young, His Majesty still has expectations for you."
Do you even glance at her now?
