Chapter 004: Picking Flowers and Smiling, Leisure Days Amidst Right and Wrong (Part Four).

Xu Zhiyan nodded, "The queen indeed has a difficult time. The crown prince has a difficult temperament, and it must be hard for you to serve him. No wonder you look so thin and pitiful."

Murong Yiyi was astonished and could only say, "I obey the order!"

Upon seeing Xu Zhiyan's inquiry, Murong Yiyi hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "I have already met with Auntie and talked for a long time. When the Crown Prince came to pay his respects, I accompanied him out!"

This is no longer just a way of self-preservation, but a way of managing oneself, governing the country, and achieving harmony in the family. It may even be... the way to rule the world!

He raised his eyes and ordered: "Send the dishes that were originally prepared for the Crown Princess to the Empress's palace. Yiyi, go and have dinner with the Empress before returning."

Xu Zhiyan took a deep look at her and said, "Before you got married, I heard that you were childish and I was really worried. I was afraid that your temperament would be similar to your mother's. Fortunately, your character is clearly like Xiaoxun's. If you want to live a peaceful life in the future, don't forget a few words. Be kind in your dwelling, have a kind heart, be kind to others, speak with sincerity, govern with kindness, be capable in your work, and act at the right time. If you can do all of these, then I will be reassured!" Be kind in your dwelling, have a kind heart, be kind to others, speak with sincerity, govern with kindness, be capable in your work, and act at the right time. If you can do all of these, then I will be reassured!

Xu Zhiyan nodded and said to the beautiful woman, "Yi Yi, when did you enter the palace? Why don't you go and visit your aunt?"

"Li hurriedly stepped forward and said, 'Princess Consort Ming, who is by the side of the Crown Prince, specially came to remind the Crown Princess to eat more vegetarian meals with the Emperor and consume less meat and fish.'"

While speaking, Prince Xu Siyan has already brought a beautiful woman forward to pay her respects.

This beauty has a clear and beautiful appearance, a graceful figure, and moves like a weak willow in the wind. She is charming and lovely, and happens to be the niece of Empress Murong Xue, with the nickname Yi Yi. At the age of fifteen, she entered the Crown Prince's residence and was appointed as a noble maid before the Crown Prince's wedding. She is currently the highest-ranking concubine of the Crown Prince.

At this moment, a report came from the side, saying, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Princess Murong Liangdi have come to pay their respects."

In their conversation, they were actually quoting a passage from the "Tao Te Ching". Water benefits all things without contention, and because it does not contend, it is free from blame and fault.

To truly protect oneself, it is indeed better to be inactive than to be active. However, Xu Zhiyan hopes that she can do even better, by being generous, calm, keeping promises, understanding the timing and situation, playing to her strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and seizing opportunities. Only then can she overcome the strong with gentleness, achieving victory without fighting.

The hibiscus smiles without saying a word.

The hibiscus blushed involuntarily and quickly lowered her head to drink tea.

When he said the last sentence, the anger in his words had turned into a smile, and his gaze at Muhin became even warmer.

Xu Zhiyan has a light diet, and most of the dishes are delicate vegetarian dishes. He took a glance and frowned, asking, "Didn't I order to add a few more dishes that she likes if the Crown Princess comes over?"

The fragrance flows in the small pavilion, with the scent of lotus lingering in the air. Carrying a subtle coolness, it gently seeps into the depths of the heart. The wind sways the lotus leaves on the water's surface, clear and lovely. Occasionally, a few lotus flowers bloom like lanterns, elegant and charming, embellishing the lake in the night, making it even more clear and pleasing to the eye.

Xu Zhiyan looked at the delicate and slightly chubby face of Mujin and said with displeasure, "Nonsense! When the Crown Princess was growing up, she should have eaten more and better, and she should not be restricted. Moreover... plump girls are easier to give birth!"
