1729: The Changes in the Imperial Capital Are for the Better

The Changes in the Imperial Capital Are for the Better

The masters of all these families understood that it was because they stood on Yun Bixue's side that their families had remained unscathed.0

Credit went to their daughters and granddaughters who were good friends with Yun Bixue.

Hence, the six of them, including Tian Xiaojuan, now had increasingly higher positions in the family and had more power to speak up. Some were even being considered for the role of successor.

If it were not for Yun Bixue's health, that she couldn't afford to be tired, these few people might have looked for Yun Bixue to have fun every day.

Now, they could only go once every two weeks, each time bringing with them tons of tonics and gifts.

These tonics and gifts were good stuff their families sourced and fervently asked them to bring over to Yun Bixue.

Every time Yun Bixue saw Tian Xiaojuan and the rest, she was especially happy and in good spirits.

She would listen with relish when they chattered about the many happenings in the imperial capital. It made her feel much younger.

She thought that if she weren't pregnant, she would frequently go out and have fun with them or go shopping.

"Bixue, you have no idea. Although it seems like there are great changes in the imperial capital, I feel that the changes are good."

"Yes, things are much better now. You rarely see people being ostracized and bullied these days."

"Yeah, you won't see rich playboys bullying people."

"In the past, when civilians see someone from a prominent family, they will eagerly go up and suck up to them. Even the servants of those families could put on arrogant airs and bully people outside."

"Exactly. Although we live right in the capital, many of those who come from prominent families have disregard the life and death of civilians."

"Officials cover up for each other, and even if the royal family has the desire to interfere, it's not within their means."

"Things are wonderful these days. I feel that those families are having a difficult time these days while the civilians are able to live well. I feel happy seeing this."

Listening to Lu Maimai and the rest speak, Yun Bixue seemed to be in deep thought. From the looks of it, the changes in the imperial capital were for the better.

In the past, she felt that if the recruiting of new blood among the noble families in the imperial capital would implicate many innocent folks, she had feared that the civilians would be harmed.

But looking at things now, the ones who benefited from this transformation were the civilians. This way, her heart was put to ease.

After a while, Yun Bixue recalled something, and she asked, "By the way, have you guys heard of Princess Yanwu?"

Shao Chunrong said excitedly, "Ah, Bixue, did you say Princess Yanwu? That super beautiful princess?"

Yun Bixue nodded. She had to admit that with Xiajun Yanwu's beauty, many people would succumb to her.

Tian Xiaojuan chimed in, "I know, she appeared in the news lately. Very beautiful. It was said that she returned to the country not long ago. Prior to this, she had been overseas all along. But how did she get involved in politics?"

"Yeah, there's already Majesty Kang and Majesty Huang going against each other to begin with. With the addition of this princess, it's a little complicated."

Yun Bixue reassured them, "Don't worry so much. I just wanted to ask what you guys know about her. Or are there any rumors about her?"

Looking at Yun Bixue's serious expression, Tan Xinxuan thought for a moment, then said, "I might know a little. Back then, I had an aunt who worked in the palace."

Everyone looked towards Tan Xinxuan.

Tan Xinxuan pursed her lips, then said slowly, "I don't know if it's real, but there's this rumor… You guys should have heard of it. This Princess Yanwu is the youngest member of the royal family. She was loved and protected by Majesty Kang and Majesty Huang since she was young. Even His Majesty dotes on this princess very much. But now, Majesty Kang and Majesty Huang couldn't even be bothered about her. There's a reason for that."
