While Chen Wei and Prince Yan are deeply in love, Zhang Yue's situation is terrible.
The King of Yan did not kill her directly, but instead sent people to beat her with twenty sticks every day. Zhang Yue lay weakly in the woodshed. Her strength was getting weaker and weaker. She was extremely thirsty and her mind was already confused.
"Water...water..."
Zhang Yue called out helplessly.
After a while, the door of the woodshed opened and two slender figures walked in. Zhang Yue opened her eyes with great effort and saw her maids Fang'er and Cui'er.
Fang'er was holding a bowl of water in her hand.
Zhang Yue was overjoyed. She didn't expect that even though she was imprisoned, the two maids still remembered her kindness and secretly came to bring her water.
Zhang Yue's throat was hoarse: "Water...Fang'er, give me some water..."
Fang'er half squatted down, holding a bowl of clean water in her hand, and asked softly: "Master, do you want some water?"
Zhang Yue said weakly: "Yes...Good Fang'er, give me some water..."
But the next moment, Fang'er poured the bowl of water directly onto Zhang Yue's face.
Fang'er slapped Zhang Yue hard on the face: "Since I came to the Rose Garden, you have been beating and scolding me every day, deducting my monthly salary, and forcing me to do those dirty and evil things! Cui'er and I will come to see you every day. When you die, I will personally send you to the mass grave and let the wild dogs eat you!"
All the anger accumulated from the torture in the past was vented out tonight.
Fang'er kicked Zhang Yue twice viciously and spat at her. Fang'er and Cui'er kicked and hit Zhang Yue, and Zhang Yue curled up in pain, subconsciously protecting her stomach.
After a while, Fang'er and Cui'er left.
Zhang Yue lay dazed in the haystack. She didn't know how much time had passed before the door of the woodshed was opened again.
Someone sneaked in and poured medicine for Zhang Yue's injuries into her mouth.
Zhang Yue opened her eyes and saw that familiar face. Tears fell down: "You...you came...I have fallen to this point, and you are the only one who still remembers me...I regret that I should have married you..."
There were mixed emotions in that man's eyes.
In the end, he gently held Zhang Yue in his arms.
...
Since reconciling with King Yan, Shen Wei has been favored even more.
The prince would stay in Liuli Pavilion most of the time, and the friendship between the two grew stronger.
Early summer was approaching, and the prince was out on official business during the day, so Shen Wei did not stay in the Glazed Pavilion every day. After exercising, she would go to the back garden of the palace to stroll around and go fishing.
There is a large lotus pond in the back garden of the palace. The lotus pond is full of delicate lotus flowers, and fish are swimming around in it. Shen Wei asked Cai Lian to find fishing gear, and she sat by the pavilion by the pond to fish.
While fishing, eat candied fruits and enjoy the refreshing feeling of the lake breeze blowing across your face.
"Master, Concubine Liu is here." Caiping reminded in a low voice.
Shen Wei put down the candied fruit and bowed to Concubine Liu who was passing by.
Concubine Liu paused.
Concubine Liu looked at the radiant Shen Wei with a hint of envy in her eyes. Shen Wei is now favored by the prince, so her clothes are naturally ostentatious. Shen Wei was wearing a silver silk embroidered Qianshui skirt, with layers of silver skirt, which looked glittering and colorful.
Chen Wei's cheeks were rosy and she looked full of energy, like a flower blooming in the morning.
Concubine Liu looked at herself again. Although she was a concubine in name, she was wearing the most ordinary plain cloth and had only an ordinary pearl hairpin in her hair.
Sometimes when Concubine Liu looked in the mirror, she saw her own dull and tired eyes.
"Are you fishing?" asked Concubine Liu.
Shen Wei smiled and replied, "The prince likes to eat fish recently, and I want to catch a big fish for him myself."
Concubine Liu curled her lips in disdain.
Poor Shen Wei, she was completely bewitched by the prince's false love. In the future, Shen Wei will deeply understand how ruthless men in the imperial family are.
Concubine Liu shook her head secretly and left the garden with her maid.
Shen Wei returned to the pavilion and continued fishing lazily. There was a cool breeze beside the lotus pond, and the lotus leaves were fragrant. Chen Wei was about to fall asleep, and Cai Ping reminded her in a low voice: "Master, Concubine Liu is here."
Shen Wei opened her eyes: "What happened in the palace today? These two people are out?"
According to Shen Wei's investigation, Liu Qiao'er and Liu Ruyan are both veteran homebodies, the type who won't go out unless it's something important.
What happened today? Shen Wei unexpectedly ran into two veteran homebodies in a row.
Cai Ping said, "The princess seems to be busy, so she sent someone to invite a few concubines to Kunyu Courtyard."
Shen Wei raised her eyebrows, it turned out that the leaders were in a meeting.
Suppressing her emotions, Shen Wei walked over and saluted Concubine Liu Ruyan. Even in the middle of summer, Concubine Liu was still wearing a snow-white long dress that was so cold that it could kill her, and a light green and white plum blossom hairpin in her hair.
Liu Ruyan stopped, her eyes swept across Shen Wei's beautiful face, and suddenly said with pity: "Shen Wei, you must be feeling very bitter."
Shen Wei was confused: “Huh?”
Am I miserable?
I don’t know.
Liu Ruyan shook her head gently, her voice soft: "Every day is like walking on thin ice. For the little love of the prince, I gave up my hobbies and my life..."
Shen Wei was speechless.
Shen Wei felt from the bottom of her heart that her life was pretty good. Her biggest hobby was making money. She had a lot of money in her piggy bank. She could eat delicacies from land and sea and wear silk and satin every day.
She lives in a big, spacious house and has a handsome guy with a big penis and good sex drive to sleep with her at night.
Isn’t that good?
Liu Ruyan shook her head with sympathy: "You and I are both pitiful people... Life is like a piece of fluff in the wind, happiness is sporadic, sadness is also sporadic."
After reciting the sad verses, Liu Ruyan felt a sour feeling in her nose and tears rolled down her thin face.
Liu Ruyan left sadly.
Seeing this, Xuemei, the personal maid, quickly caught up with Liu Ruyan. Xuemei followed Liu Ruyan, occasionally secretly looking back at the pavilion in the lotus pond.
I saw Shen Wei lying on the chaise longue, with a long fishing rod at her feet and a few plates of delicious cakes at her hands. Eating snacks and fishing, Shen Wei looked contented and not at all pitiful.
Xuemei really doesn't understand why her master always thinks Chen Wei is pitiful...
Xuemei then looked at the two maids behind Chen Wei—Cai Lian and Cai Ping. Cai Lian and Cai Ping had rosy complexions and round cheeks. They were wearing clothes made of fine fabrics and had pearl hairpins on their heads.
When the master is favored, the maid will also live a good life. It was said that Chen Wei was very generous and often gave silver as a reward to maids and eunuchs, so all the servants in the palace wanted to work in Liuli Pavilion.
Xuemei looked at herself again. Her wrists were skinny and bony, with many red marks from mosquito bites...
Woo woo, she is the most pitiful one.
Shen Wei continued fishing, but before the fish took the bait, Nanny Liu beside the princess hurried over: "Master Shen, the princess invites you."
