Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1063: Chapter 1063: Living in Da’an Palace_1 Chapter 1063: Chapter 1063: Living in Da’an Palace_1 “The Yang Family has only controlled Mount Jiang for barely over fifty years, and there’s still a long way to go, Emperor,” Yang Wenxiao said as he stood up. Emperor Yongan quickly rose as well, nodding vigorously in agreement when he heard Yang Wenxiao’s words. “Father is absolutely right, as members of the royal family, we must be vigilant and not let our current prosperity blind us.”

“You should take care of organizing it. Everyone always thinks we are at the pinnacle of the world, but they can’t understand our constant trepidation,” Yang Wenxiao said with a sigh.

Emperor Yongan hurriedly replied, “Rest assured, Father, I will have someone start preparing for this event tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao nodded, “Very well, it’s getting late, you should all rest early. Dismissed.”

As he said this, he walked toward the entrance of the great hall. As he passed by Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang, he added, “You two, come with me to the Da’an Palace.”

Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang quickly obeyed and bid farewell to Emperor Yongan before following in Yang Wenxiao’s footsteps.

When this couple left, their guards and Shopkeeper Hong naturally had to go as well, a crowd of people came buzzing in, and just as quickly buzzed out.

Bai Zhi stared dumbfounded at the now vacant great hall, then turned to Yao Xian with some disbelief, “Empress Mother, just like that this matter is settled?”

What about the promise to stand up for her?

What about throwing this pair of adulterers into prison?

Not even a fart was let loose!

Yao Xian’s expression was very dark, her lovely face clouded over. Yang Wenxiao had obviously favored Qiao Xiaomai, and even touched upon the foundation of the nation; she dared not utter a word.

Emperor Yongan looked at Bai Zhi, rubbing his forehead, and said, “Zhi’er, go back and ask your great-grandfather about where you went wrong today.”

Bai Zhi had concealed details about what she had said to him earlier, yet Yang Wenxiao knew about these details, which was why he had summoned Fang Hai out of the palace before coming over proactively.

Clearly, Bai Zhi had crossed a line with Yang Wenxiao.

The Yang Family came from a lineage of wealthy landlords, and for years, had been looked down upon by those so-called aristocratic families as mere peasants.

Aristocratic families have their deep-rooted heritage and arrogance, but the Bai Family does not.

Old Lord Bai was once a mere laborer at the Yang Family–Yang Wenxiao’s rebellion had begun with his support. In the end, the Bai Family also originated from a peasant background.

Today, although Bai Zhi’s mockery was directed at Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang, her behavior also struck at Yang Wenxiao’s core principle: forgetting one’s roots.

The aristocratic families could mock peasants all they wanted, but the Bai Family originated from the same peasant roots as well. They had only risen to fortune over the past fifty years, so what gave them the right to join in the mockery?

Even though Bai Zhi was mocking Qiao Xiaomai, her arrogant remarks were unquestionably an affront to the entire peasant class.

Indirectly, she was insulting the Bai Family and the Yang Family as well.

Bai Zhi’s mistake today was exactly this–if she had said anything else without touching on this aspect, Yang Wenxiao would not have been so partial.

“Fang Hai, escort the princess out of the palace,” Emperor Yongan said and then he too exited the great hall.

He should probably think about this “bitter-sweet reflection” event.

One must never forget their origins, especially not members of the royal family; numerous eyes are watching, eager to dethrone the Yang Family. One must learn to prepare for danger in times of safety.

After Emperor Yongan left, Yao Xian’s face turned completely sour.

She understood where Yang Wenxiao’s anger lay, but this blatant favoritism towards Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang was sheer infatuation.

And to even let this couple stay in Da’an Palace–was he not afraid that these two would turn the Imperial Palace upside down?!

[There’s a song called “Infatuated,” which is quite nice to listen to.]
