If we're talking about the person Emperor Bumie hates the most, it has to be Hua Rong.

However, at this time, it wasn't because of his mother's death, but purely because of the torment she had inflicted on him.

"Thirteenth Prince, you should eat more. Otherwise you'll get whipped again today," said Chunxi, Emperor Bumie's personal eunuch.

Chunxi wasn't mocking Di Bumie; neither he nor Di Bumie thought so.

That's absolutely true!

Emperor Bumie frowned and pushed the food away: "What are you going to eat? You won't die if you don't eat."

Chunxi: "..."

To be honest, Chunxi didn't know what to say.

Sometimes he felt that the thirteenth prince was truly amazing.

Even if they are beaten black and blue and go hungry for several days, they are still fine.

Looking at the handsome thirteenth prince in front of her, Chunxi was incredibly jealous.

If he were more handsome, it wouldn't be impossible for him to find a rich girl, and he wouldn't have had to become a eunuch in the palace out of desperation.

Looking at the falling snow outside the window, Emperor Bumie asked Chunxi, "Tell me, how have Consort Mei and my mother treated me?"

Chunxi was embarrassed and it took her a while to say, "Then... that would be excellent."

Di Bumie glanced at Chunxi, his eyes filled with sympathy.

Hua Rong and Liu Yiyi beat him every day, and they didn't hold back their words.

What a useless piece of trash, what a big idiot...

Is this still good?

He felt he needed to pay more attention to the little eunuch who was taking care of him.

He might have had a worse life before than he does now.

If Emperor Di hadn't been so great, he probably would have realized that Hua Rong and Liu Yiyi were clearly raising wolves.

Step by step, the wolf's wild nature is unleashed.

Yes, if you're raising a wolf cub, you can't expect to suppress its wolfish nature.

Instead, we need to actively stimulate it.

Hua Rong and Liu Yiyi knew that Di Bumie was a wolf cub.

So I didn't intend to give him a friendly look.

Two years after Hua Rong adopted Di Bumie, she met Di Zisu and her mother by chance.

Somewhat embarrassingly, Consort Li, Di Zisu's mother, was someone she had bullied in the past.

Or rather, someone whom the original owner, Consort Mei, had bullied.

I can't remember why, but it seems like the other person bumped into her and dirtied her clothes.

He was slapped ten times and fined six months' worth of wages.

This three-month fine is already very lenient.

However, in this harem, there are concubines who are neither favored nor of high status.

Without money, it would be impossible to move an inch!

One can imagine that Lady Li did not have a good time during those six months.

Even though he had a princess, Emperor Chengqian had many children, and he wouldn't give Consort Li a second glance just because of this princess.

Of course, it might be different if it were a prince.

Just like this Emperor Bu Mie, who was not valued by Emperor Chengqian at the time.

However, when Consort Liu adopted Emperor Bumie, the women of the entire harem began to panic.

Furthermore, Di Zisu's personality is very similar to that of Consort Li.

Humble and unassuming, without any airs of a princess!

To put it nicely, they were submissive; to put it bluntly, they completely lacked royal demeanor.

It was simply impossible for him to gain the favor of the self-centered Emperor Chengqian.

Consort Li was not of high rank, but she was petite and lovely, making her a figure to be cherished.

However, this weak-willed nature means she is destined to never be favored.

When Hua Rong met Consort Li and Di Zisu, Consort Li was secretly handing something to a eunuch.

Hua Rong glanced at it and roughly guessed what Consort Li wanted to do.

In the palace, they were concubines of low rank and out of favor.

To survive, you need money.

Not to mention, this Lady Li was accompanied by a princess.

Even if the princess's monthly allowance is sufficient, she is still not favored.

It's likely that most of it has already been siphoned off by those above, leaving very little money in hand.

But where did this money come from?

The concubines and palace maids in the palace often embroidered ornaments.

They instructed the eunuchs who were allowed to leave the palace to take the goods to the market outside.

Because it's a product from the palace, and the eunuchs exaggerate its value, the price goes up.

Then the eunuchs embezzled a large portion, and the rest was given to the concubines and palace maids.

Hua Rong clearly wanted to pretend she hadn't seen it, but she didn't know if this Consort Li was truly timid or if she had been punished by Consort Mei before.

So much so that his legs went weak when he saw Hua Rong, and he immediately knelt down.

The eunuch was more clever and originally wanted to escape.

But when he saw it was Hua Rong, he stopped running and knelt on the ground.

However, at least he considered running away!

Instead of kneeling down like Consort Li.

Di Zisu, who was behind Consort Li, also knelt down.

Like her mother, she bowed her head, her body trembling.

It was obvious that she also remembered Consort Mei.

Even now, she looks only five or six years old.

However, she was still very clear about Consort Mei's face.

"This humble servant greets Consort Mei. May Consort Mei be blessed with longevity!"

Hua Rong: "..."

For a moment, Hua Rong really didn't know what to say.

Liu Yiyi, who was standing next to her, was also very depressed.

Are these guys stupid?!

He could tell that Hua Rong had pretended not to see it.

Now, Consort Mei had shouted, knelt, and said what she needed to say!

"Consort Li, why are you here instead of staying in your own palace? And what exactly did you give this little eunuch just now? What crime is it to exchange things privately in the palace? Consort Li, you should know very well!"

Liu Yiyi knew that Hua Rong didn't want to talk right now, so she just made it clear.

Upon hearing Liu Yiyi's words, Consort Li was so frightened that she looked up in terror and said, "Your Highness Consort Liu, this concubine did not engage in any illicit relations. This concubine did not do anything wrong. Please forgive me, Your Highness Consort Liu! This concubine only... this concubine only... Please forgive me, Your Highness Consort Mei and Your Highness Consort Liu!"

"Consort Li, you should know what you've done. Do you think we'll let you off so easily?"

Liu Yiyi didn't like people like Li Cairen.

She is a strong person, and she was born to feel sorry for the weak.

Of course, she also knew that both the strong and the weak had the right to live in this world.

"Your Majesty, spare my life! Your Majesty, spare my life!"

Liu Yiyi frowned. She hadn't even said anything yet, but Consort Li was already making her seem like a fierce demon.

This attitude completely blew him away.

Just as she was about to say something harsh, Hua Rong raised her hand.

"Consort Li, I will pretend I didn't see what happened today. As for what to do next, you can decide for yourself!"

After saying this, he ignored Consort Li and ordered everyone to set off.

They hadn't walked far when Hua Rong casually said to Liu Yiyi.

"It seems some servants in the palace are incredibly audacious. They even dare to embezzle their masters' belongings. I will report this matter to Her Majesty the Empress, and you will handle it then."

"This servant understands!"

When Li Cairen, who was not far away, heard Hua Rong's words, she was stunned at first, and then tears fell down her face.

To be honest, she didn't really blame Consort Mei.

People of low status in this palace have never had human rights.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them ants.

She was already satisfied that Consort Mei spared her life.
