Caiping looked back and saw two maids standing at the door of Liuli Pavilion, acting sneaky and looking nervous.
Caiping recognized them as Fang'er and Cui'er, who served Zhang Yue in the Rose Garden.
"Sister Caiping! Zhang has been taken back to the Rose Garden and is pregnant! What should Cui'er and I do?" Fang'er was very anxious.
I thought Zhang Yue was dead, but who knew she was pregnant!
With her child, Zhang Yue still has a chance to make a comeback.
Given Zhang Yue's petty and calculating personality, once she gains favor, Fang'er and Cui'er will be the first to suffer.
With no other options left, Fang'er and Cui'er can only ask Caiping for help.
Caiping frowned slightly and wanted to drive away the two maids who were in the way. But Caiping's mind flashed back to what Shen Wei once taught her - "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Cai Ping follows Chen Wei, a smart master, and her IQ and observation skills have improved. Caiping thought again of what Rong Mama had just said - [Zhang's pregnancy came at a very strange time].
So, Cai Ping took the two maids to a corner and whispered, "Don't be afraid. My master will definitely find a way to protect you. But you need to show your worth."
Fang'er and Cui'er looked at each other and both knelt on the ground: "Please ask Sister Caiping to show us a way out."
Cai Ping helped the two maids up and said gently, "You have served Zhang Yue for a long time. She is frail and has served the prince only a few times. How could she get pregnant so easily?"
Fang'er racked her brains to think, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Fang'er held Caiping's hand and said, "Sister Caiping, I remember now! Zhang Yue and a groom in the palace were old friends. The groom often delivered vegetables to the Rose Garden. Zhang Yue was punished by the prince a few days ago and was beaten with a stick every day. I also saw the groom secretly go to the woodshed to visit her."
Caiping's smile widened.
Oh, here comes the loophole.
Caiping lowered her voice and discussed countermeasures with Fang'er and Cui'er.
...
In the Rose Garden, Zhang Yue lay weakly on the bed. Although she was beaten these days, fortunately Sanlang came to apply medicine to her every day, so she managed to get through it.
Now that the news of her pregnancy had reached the ears of the princess, Zhang Yue was spared punishment and returned to the Rose Garden to recuperate.
Zhang Yue lay on the bed and swore bitterly: “Chen Wei, now that you have a child, let’s see how you can fight me.”
If she is lucky and gives birth to a son, she will enjoy endless wealth and glory for the rest of her life.
Zhang Yue touched her belly weakly, a smile appearing at the corner of her lips. At this time, the window opened slightly, and a nimble and flexible figure came in.
"Sanlang." When Zhang Yue saw him, hope suddenly lit up in her eyes.
Sanlang is a dark-skinned man who works as a coachman in the palace. He has always been deeply in love with Zhang Yue and they have been engaged.
Sanlang walked to the bedside and put a bottle of golden wound medicine on the table: "Xiaoyue, haven't you always wanted to bring down Shen Wei? If I catch her with something, I can definitely drag her into the abyss of no return."
Zhang Yue was surprised: "What handle does she have? Could it be that she has a lover like you, just like me?"
Sanlang nodded and said in a boastful tone, "This morning, Zhang Wu was driving the carriage to see Rong Mama from Liuli Pavilion out. He saw Rong Mama holding a pair of men's boots and quietly walking into the Confucian Temple in the suburbs of Beijing. Zhang Wu was at the door and watched from afar. A scholar in the Confucian Temple accepted the pair of boots and gave Rong Mama a letter, asking Rong Mama to pass it on to Chen Wei."
Zhang Yue was overjoyed.
When a woman gives a man boots, it is a private sign of love!
I didn't expect that Chen Wei was having an affair with someone behind Prince Yan's back!
He also asked Rong Mama to act as a middleman to pass messages between them.
Zhang Yue stroked her belly, her eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent: "Sanlang, keep staring. This time, we must make sure that Shen Wei will never be able to turn over!"
The two of them discussed for a long time before Sanlang climbed out the window and left.
Outside the Rose Garden, Fang'er and Cui'er, who had been hiding in the dark for a long time, had clearly seen Sanlang's departing back.
...
After a tiring journey, the huge royal hunting convoy finally arrived at Dongshan.
In the spacious open space, servants from various mansions began to set up camp, and the imperial guards set up outposts and patrolled around.
Tents of all sizes were set up quickly. The tents of the Crown Prince's Mansion, Prince of Yan's Mansion, Prince of Heng's Mansion and Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion were located in the most spacious center, facing north and south to show their noble status.
"Master, all the things have been moved into the tent." Cai Lian directed the guards of the palace to renovate the tent of Prince Yan's palace.
Shen Wei walked into the tent and inspected it.
Although it is summer, the temperature in Dongshan is not high, and it is cold and windy at night. Shen Wei didn't want to catch a cold and get sick, so she had to keep warm.
Shen Wei carefully checked several corners of the tent to make sure there were no drafts. The tent was decorated warmly and elegantly, with beds, desks, food and clothes all available.
“Sprinkle some sulfur to repel snakes and mugwort powder to repel mosquitoes in the corners of the tent,” Shen Wei ordered.
Cai Lian immediately took two guards and started sprinkling the powder.
On the field, the tents of officials from various families have been set up. The hunting season will officially begin tomorrow, so everyone is busy preparing dinner tonight. The princes and princesses of the royal family naturally had dinner prepared by the chefs in the imperial kitchen.
As dusk fell, the Crown Prince, Prince Yan, and Prince Heng, who had been warming up outside on horseback, returned together.
The prince was weak, so he returned to his tent early to rest. Chen Wei accompanied King Yan to have dinner outside the tent. A bonfire was burning in the middle, the cool night breeze was blowing gently, the food was delicious, and Chen Wei felt relaxed and happy.
"Oh, second brother only brought one beauty?" A teasing voice came from the opposite tent.
King Heng's tent and King Yan's tent were very close to each other, just opposite each other.
Chen Wei raised her eyes and saw Prince Heng, dressed coquettishly, sitting sideways on the couch. Prince Heng was wearing a striking red robe, his long black hair was loosely scattered on his shoulders, a white jade hairpin was tucked in his hair, and his delicately raised eyes revealed a bit of evil.
He held a beauty in his left hand, and a handsome young man's waist in his right hand. Behind him, two beautiful maids were massaging his shoulders, and in front of him, a beauty was gently pouring tea and wine for him.
Looks so happy.
Shen Wei silently despised King Heng. Although the grown man was handsome in a flashy red outfit, he lacked some masculinity after all.
Prince Yan is still better, with regular and handsome features, a handsome face, and a big and healthy body. Sitting next to King Yan, Shen Wei would feel as safe as if she were close to Mount Tai.
Prince Heng drank a glass of wine and his eyes fell on Shen Wei. He had a good memory and recognized that this was the little concubine who kicked him at Chunri Banquet.
Prince Heng deliberately picked on him: "Second brother, one woman is not enough to serve you. Qiongzhi, go over and serve second brother well."
The woman on the left hand side of Prince Heng stood up with a smile, swaying her graceful figure, and walked towards Prince Yan.
This woman named Qiongzhi was naturally beautiful and charming. She knelt and saluted the King of Yan, her soft voice floating over: "I am Qiongzhi, paying my respects to His Royal Highness the King of Yan."
