After dinner.
Di Baose and Guo Bing came over to the Qing'e Palace to listen to Gong Yun talk.
Gong Yun hadn't had a chance to talk about the progress in Sanjing Village, Longquan Township, Jinyu County.
The eunuch had an important matter to report: "The last wish of the Grand Princess of Chu was to betroth Bai Shen'ai."
Huan Yue blinked: "I thought Bai Shen'ai wanted to be empress."
Guo Bing blinked; not just anyone could become an empress.
The eunuchs were speechless: "Bai Shen'ai likes King Zheng."
Huan Yue found it unsurprising: "King Zheng is so handsome, he might just bring back a few princesses from overseas. I don't care how many princesses they are, as long as they bring their dowries."
Di Baose was speechless. Who could stand Bai Shen's love? King Zheng had no patience to serve him.
Fang Tang said, "There are rumors circulating outside that Prince Zheng was forced into this situation. So, could Bai Shen'ai hate the Crown Prince?"
Huan Yue asked curiously, "I thought Bai Shen'ai would disregard everything and go to sea with Prince Zheng. Even if Prince Zheng had to serve an ancestor, as long as he had a little bit of a willingness to endure hardship, he could tolerate her."
Di Baose said, "It's impossible for me to suffer. I'll never suffer in this lifetime."
The things that the Grand Princess of Chu left to Bai Shen'ai were enough for her to live a very comfortable life.
Whether it's truly good or not is none of anyone else's business.
Even if Bai Shenai doesn't live a good life, the Bai family can take care of it.
A palace attendant came to report: "The He family has been executed, and Chang Dalang is handling their funeral arrangements."
Huan Yue nodded: "The ignorant people of Hejia Township were misled by others. Although they deserve to die, it is also pitiful. I hereby grant them one hundred taels of silver for a proper burial, as a warning to future generations. As for those with ulterior motives who kill without leaving a trace, we must be vigilant and cautious! The net of heaven is vast and its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it. When they are caught and punished, it will be too late for regrets!"
Guo Bing went back to write another eulogy.
Although the Ho family has some minor problems, they are inextricably linked to the outside world.
A group of people, in order to kill the Green Moth, went to harass the Chang family, the He family, and everyone else around Baishi Village who could be harassed.
While I need to remain calm, are the people who cheated them innocent? Just like how can a con artist be innocent?
This time, Lan Hao and the others were all executed, but the King of Wu and his ilk are still alive.
He Jing deserved to die, but why shouldn't Xie Quan?
Fang Tang pondered for a long time. He couldn't control the Empress if she didn't care, but he still needed to vent his anger and put pressure on the Prince of Wu.
Chang Zihan was furious after her maternal grandfather was executed along with his entire family, and she was seriously injured. This debt must be settled!
As for giving one hundred taels of silver, that's enough to bury those twenty or thirty people.
Huan Yue planned to burn them all down, since the He family line had ended anyway.
I have no interest in letting her manage the He family's affairs.
As for whether Chang Zihe and the He family should intervene, that's their business.
A palace attendant ran in to report: "Lian Qing sent someone to deliver something to Pei Yuannu."
Huan Yue said, "Send it to the sage."
Lian Qing's rebellion, if not handled carefully, could drag the Crown Prince into trouble. Therefore, no matter how big or small the matter, it is safest to inform the Emperor.
The eunuch arrived at the Zichen Palace.
The current Grand Secretary and his ministers are busy and have no time to rest.
The Dong family's affairs are troublesome, with the Bai family and many others getting involved.
Xie Zhou was young, so he helped his father whenever he could, and found another way to do things that weren't appropriate to say directly.
I'm quite satisfied with my life now; I have a useful son, just like a good pair of chopsticks.
The eunuch presented a box.
The eunuch opened it, and inside was a sharp dagger.
Jiang Ge Lao was speechless. Lian Qing's actions weren't just provocation, they were downright brainless!
He thought sending this to Pei Yuannu was a death sentence.
Now, pick up the dagger and examine it closely.
King Shen looked at it and said, "Such a dagger is not common."
Thinking about it now: "Provide Yongmu with protection."
The eunuch thought to himself, "Princess Yongmu is quite favored." Whether it was because of the matter of Prince Zheng that Princess Yongmu was still in her memory, or because she was reminded of Princess Yongmu from Qing'e Palace, she was definitely favored.
The eunuch took the box back to Qing'e Palace and met with the Empress.
Princess Yongmu came over, dressed warmly even at night, still a gentle beauty.
However, it has become increasingly resilient at its core. Like a plum blossom, it has developed a strong backbone.
Fang Tang also thought it was beautiful, possessing a charm that other beauties lacked. The dagger was also beautiful; it was probably specially found for Pei Yuannu.
It's perfectly fine for the emperor to give it to Princess Yongmu.
Ran Li took a look at it and thought it was good. She would have to teach the princess how to use it.
You might get injured while practicing, but it will save your life in case of an emergency.
Princess Yongmu was also quite happy.
The key is that her father is concerned about her safety, so he has no intention of marrying her off to the He family.
Princess Yongmu was fortunate to have divorced in time; otherwise, the He family's affairs would have definitely implicated her.
Although she'll still be a princess no matter what, she won't be so assertive then.
Princess Yongmu should be grateful; what would she do without the He family's children?
Although the winter nights were long, Huan Yue still told everyone to go to bed early.
There are many things to do every day, and it takes energy to deal with them.
Ren Zhaoxun, full of energy, went with a few others, undeterred by the cold, to Anxiang Courtyard to watch the excitement.
The eunuchs of Anxiang Courtyard remained silent, guarding against Pei Yuannu's escape.
Fang Tang hadn't gotten close when she smelled a foul odor on the night breeze.
Qing Ai said in a low voice, "Caiwei and I tidied her up before we left. Consort Chang and Madam Pei didn't tidy up at all."
Fang Tang couldn't control that. But without Caiwei, how would Chang Ziyu survive?
There was a noise inside the room.
A palace maid went in to take a look, then came out pinching her nose and said, "Chang Fengyi and Pei (finally) started fighting."
I knew it! How could the Pei sisters possibly be good friends?
Chang Fengyi doesn't even have the surname Pei, and Pei Yuannu and the legitimate heir are not a good match. There's no reason for them not to beat Pei Huanfeng now, since they've already beaten her.
The thought of Qing Ai is disgusting. There's poop on the bed, how could it not be disgusting to fight with it?
"Someone come here!" Chang Ziyu cried from inside.
"Shut up!" Ren Zhaoxun shouted from outside.
"Someone come here!" Chang Ziyu said confidently.
"If you keep arguing, you'll shut up forever!" Ren Zhaoxun said with equal confidence.
Fang Tang didn't even want to argue here because of the stench.
"I want to see Her Majesty!" Pei Yuannu said weakly.
"Save your money!" Ren Zhaoxun said as he left.
Inside the room, Pei Yuannu indeed stopped shouting, because he had shouted more than once but it had no effect.
Chang Ziyu cried!
Pei Yuannu also cried.
To the east, Luo Yaohui was also crying.
Why was Cai looking at her crying so much? Was she crying on behalf of the He family?
He Yuexian wanted to enter the palace early and even helped Chang Ziyu bully Chang Zihan, so there's nothing pitiful about her.
Luo Yaohui misses chanting sutras.
It's the middle of the night, and Ms. Cai isn't going to keep them company. What's the use of chanting scriptures? She might get beaten up again.
Luo Yaohui needs strength! Right now, she's extremely powerless!
Luo Yaohui even asked, "How about going to Prince Qi's residence now?"
Cai said, "Let your soul drift away after you die. The Duke of Qi doesn't want everything, and I've heard that Kong Zhenjun is quite formidable."
I've never heard of Luo Yaohui.
Lady Cai only heard one part: "Anyway, Your Highness will handle it from now on."
It's said that Consort Huan is now in charge of the Zheng Prince's residence, and she'll probably also manage the Qi State Duke's residence's inner quarters. After all, there's no Empress.
In this way, regardless of whether Kong Zhenjun is a princess or a concubine, she will have the opportunity to confront Huan Niangniang.
Of course, whether the Empress intervenes or not is a different matter. She can completely ignore minor disturbances, but if things escalate, she will suppress them directly without giving them a chance to reason with her.
