Hu Ji thought too highly of herself and thought she could use public opinion to force Zhao Qingrui to compromise.

It’s a pity that Zhao Qingrui doesn’t care about those false reputations.

She has seen too many things and experienced a lot in modern times. Hu Ji's little thing is nothing in modern times.

The whispers outside were all saying that she was ungrateful. Those words were like sharp daggers piercing Hu Ji's heart.

She had never suffered any hardship since her childhood, and was later chosen to serve the king. She was beautiful and was quite loved by the king, and she also gave birth to a son for the king.

Later, the king became the First Emperor, and the status of the mother and son also rose.

Her son did not disappoint her expectations. His Majesty liked him very much, even more than the eldest prince Fusu.

His Majesty has not yet appointed a crown prince, and she feels that her son still has a good chance of competing with Prince Fusu, and has a great chance of winning.

Who told Prince Fusu to admire Confucianism, and Your Majesty doesn't like Confucianism?

She was ready to be the queen mother. The Queen Mother Xuan, the Queen Mother Huayang, and the Queen Mother Zhao of the Qin Dynasty were all people she admired.

Unfortunately, Zhao Qingrui came back and everything began to change dramatically. She even asked His Majesty to bypass Prince Fusu and disregard the clan law to directly appoint her as the crown prince.

Thinking about the past and looking at the miserable situation now, Hu Ji couldn't accept the reality again and fainted.

However, after she fainted, a palace maid came over and helped her onto the bed and didn't do anything about it.

When Hu Ji woke up again, it was already the next day.

She was so hungry that she wanted to ask the palace maid to bring some food, but the palace maid only brought a stone mortar to Hu Ji.

Seeing the stone mortar, Hu Ji wanted to faint again.

In order to survive, she had no choice but to pound rice in humiliation. She had never done such work before and didn't pound much rice in most of the day.

I used this little bit of rice to make a bowl of porridge, which finally relieved my hungry stomach.

If she didn't pound the rice, she would have nothing to eat, and Hu Ji became even more desperate.

In such despair, there are still vixens who come to laugh at her every day.

Zhao Qingrui listened to the report with a smile on her lips. Hu Ji would not be able to cause trouble anymore.
