[A lot of things happened this year. Many people died in the palace, and even the eunuchs who fed us were replaced twice.
The former Xianpin, now Xianfei, especially likes to come and talk to us, saying things like, "I hope the emperor can't have a prince anymore," and "I hope the queen will never have children in her life and be a widow forever."
"Mother, isn't this a curse on the Emperor to death?"
"You are too arrogant. You think you can ascend to the top in one step just by having a prince."
[She said that she regretted using the eldest prince's body as a raft and deliberately made the child sick all the time, just hoping that the emperor would visit her more often. However, she didn't expect that the eldest prince's health was really bad now, and even with careful care, he might not live past thirty.
Then she said, "It doesn't matter if I don't live long. As long as I give birth to a grandson, I can become the Grand Empress Dowager and support the grandson to ascend the throne. Then she will have the final say in the world."
"It turns out that the eldest prince's health is so poor. It's not just because of Concubine Wan Gui and the others, but even his own mother can do it. This is too cruel."
"I really didn't realize she was so ambitious. Is she trying to emulate Empress Dowager Cixi or become an empress like Empress Wu Zetian?"
"It's a pity that her wish cannot be realized. The Emperor and Empress are able to give birth, and it is obvious that the Emperor still hopes to have a legitimate son."
"Well, she often comes to us to vent her anger. If she didn't have so many people around her, she would definitely get the Queen pregnant."
"People are really cruel, luckily I don't have enough strength"
"We can't let such people develop. We should warn the Queen later so that she won't be tricked."
"Last time, we were too relaxed about the Wan family and didn't get to know them better. Looking at Concubine Xian's personality, she probably hates us deeply, but she manages to remain calm."
"On the surface, he's doing nothing wrong, but I can't just pick a fight with him over the slightest thing. He's already backed down, so I can't chase him and beat him up, because that would make me look violent and unreasonable."
"Do you really think you're not violent or unreasonable in the eyes of others, dear mother?"
"Well, violent mothers also beat their children!"
"I shut up!"
"Pay more attention to the Wan family's movements in the future, and remove them if there's any problem."
Jinyu hadn't tasted dim sum much this year and missed it very much, so while chatting, he asked her to sprinkle more and let the new friends have a taste.
Bai Zhiyue looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she took a few more snacks, crushed them up and sprinkled them into the water.
"That's all. Eating too much is not good!"
At this time, a group of young ladies walked towards this side, led by Princess Jiayang.
Although her reputation was ruined, her status was still there, and she had her father as her backer. No matter how much people looked down on her behind her back, she still had to show respect on the surface.
Seeing that there were still some uneaten snacks in the pool, Jiayang took the opportunity.
"How dare Lord Rongfu disobey the Emperor's order? The Emperor has expressly forbidden anyone from feeding these brocade fish. These are the Emperor's most beloved creatures. If anything happens, you must be held responsible. Someone, report this to the Emperor!"
The other young ladies looked at each other and no one said anything, only her servant girl obeyed the order and went to report.
Bai Zhiyue looked at her as if she were a joke. If she was nothing a year ago, she would really be worried, but now, the emperor is not stupid.
"Really? I really don't know. After all, I haven't been to the palace this year, so I'm not familiar with this ban."
Of course Bai Zhiyue knew that the emperor was not allowed to feed the baby. It was she who reminded the emperor, but he refused to admit it even though he knew it.
I just wanted to say hello to the koi fish and listen to some gossip, and since they all liked it, I fed them a few more pieces.
Unexpectedly, people really shouldn't be so self-righteous and think that no one is around, but now people will find trouble with them.
Someone saw that Jiayang was about to make trouble again, so he kindly gave some advice.
"Duke Rongfu rarely visits the palace, so she didn't know this imperial decree existed. I don't think she's deliberately disobeying it. Let's go somewhere else. I heard the plum blossoms in the plum forest over there are in full bloom."
What she meant was that it was not a big deal, just pretend you didn’t see it and stop making a fuss!
"How dare you! Who allowed you to plead for her? Who allowed you to disregard the imperial order? Get out of here, or I'll punish you too!"
The woman was so embarrassed that she covered her face and ran away. A few people who didn't want to cause trouble also left.
Jiayang gritted his teeth and looked at the people who were leaving with hatred, then looked at those who were still there one by one.
These people's hearts are like they are on fire
If he leaves, he will offend the princess. If he doesn't leave, he will definitely be dragged by the princess into offending Duke Rongfu. Neither of them is easy to deal with.
I should not have followed the princess out.
[Isn't this the princess? She's a badass. Last summer, she went to the palace and pushed a woman into the pond. It seems it was because the woman had said a few words to Wan Zhuangyuan before, and Wan Zhuangyuan was very gentle.
Because it was summer, the woman wore few clothes, which looked utterly disrespectful once wet. She also deliberately refused to allow the maid to go down to rescue her, insisting on ordering a guard to go. The woman then held a hairpin against herself, threatening to kill herself if the man dared to approach. This finally stopped the man from approaching.
Finally, she had enough of the joke and left, and the maidservant beside the woman dared to pull the young lady ashore.
"Oh, this is the benefit of having status. I'm afraid that woman's family wouldn't dare come to ask for an explanation. Does Prince Rui really understand his daughter? Does he know what she's like behind the scenes?"
"It's hard to say. Maybe he only saw her being pampered at home and had no idea she was like this when she was with the little girl. I'm afraid no one would report her to Prince Rui."
"My heart is broken!"
After talking with Jinyu and my son, it was quite funny to see Jiayang looking like he was going to be punished today and finally he could let out a sigh of relief!
"Princess, let's not talk about my ignorance of this imperial decree. Ignorance is not a crime. Let's just say that the snacks I fed you today were all from the palace banquet. Are you trying to say there's something wrong with them?"
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
