However, the Suiyuxuan where Zhen Cai lived was relatively small, and there were so many flowers and plants that they almost filled up half of the yard, and there was not much open space in the yard.
Concubine Hua had the desk placed under the bright sun, and as luck would have it, Zhen Cai was kneeling on the cobblestone path.
Although the pebbles on this path are not big, they are paved with soft sand, so you don't feel anything when you kneel on them at first.
But, I couldn't stand kneeling for too long.
The small pebbles in the soft sand began to show their power, squeezing into people's knees as if they had consciousness.
At this moment, the scorching sun was blazing above Zhen Cai's head, and small stones were pressing against her knees, which were becoming increasingly painful. Her face became increasingly ugly, and beads of sweat soon appeared on her forehead and temples.
The beads of sweat grew from small to large, gathered into a stream, and fell onto the paper on the desk with a plop.
Her fingers holding the pen were shaking and she could barely hold it.
He couldn't help but look towards the gate of the courtyard, feeling anxious.
Why hasn’t Yinli come yet?
Her knees were killing her.
Yinli, didn't you say that you loved Cai'er's snow-white dress the most, as if it were carved from jade? Now Cai'er's knees are almost rubbed raw, why haven't you come to save Cai'er quickly?
It is clear that in the previous life, when Concubine Hua was making trouble for Cai'er and punishing her by making her kneel, you overcame all difficulties and rushed in like a savior, saving Cai'er from Concubine Hua and carrying her away.
At that time, we were just uncle and sister-in-law, and we never crossed the line.
In this life, Cai'er has given you her body and all her tenderness, why haven't you come to save me yet?
Under the broken jade corridor.
Concubine Hua and Concubine Jing both sat comfortably on the armchairs.
Read the storybook.
Suzhi and Qingliu, one standing and massaging Concubine Hua's shoulders, while the other squatted and gently massaged Concubine Jing's legs.
While Concubine Hua and Concubine Jing were reading the storybook, they also did not forget to discuss and communicate with each other.
"This Yingying is so stupid! She's a good girl, raised and loved by her parents for so many years, yet she actually falls for a poor scholar. She must be crazy."
"That's right. The key point is, sister, you see, this poor scholar has no money and no confidence to come to someone's house to propose marriage, so he used a few sour poems to seduce Yingying and had a secret meeting with Yingying in someone's back garden!
This is not love at all, it's clearly taking advantage of her. It's bad enough that he enjoys the girl for free, but he also disregards her reputation.
If anyone saw this, Miss Yingying and the other young ladies in the Cui family would all be discredited, and the men in the Cui family would be too embarrassed to raise their heads in public!
"So, these two people deserve to die, one is bad and the other is stupid!"
Even if Feng Wanwan, nestled in Concubine Hua's arms, didn't need to read the contents of the storybook, she could guess the general idea based on the conversation between the two.
[This must be one of those stories about a rich young lady falling in love with a poor scholar, right?]
I've always said that these poor scholars don't have the ability to make a name for themselves, so they just start fantasizing about a beautiful, fair-skinned, wealthy young lady falling madly in love with them and willing to give everything for them.
[Elopement is just the beginning. Later, it will be described that the eldest daughter became pregnant, gave birth to a child, and lived in extreme poverty. At the instigation of the scholar, she took the child back to her parents' home.]
Daughters are the apple of their parents' eyes. Furthermore, since the matter is already settled, parents cannot bear to see their daughters suffer, so they will often offer financial and physical support to their daughters' in-laws.
[In this way, the poor scholar's marriage problem is solved, he can have offspring, and live comfortably. Later on, he can even use his father-in-law's connections to get a government job.]
[This is just a pipe dream dreamed up by a poor and incompetent person with no moral integrity.]
[Mother, let's just read the storybook for fun. There's no need to take it seriously. This one isn't good, let's get another one.]
Sure enough, Concubine Hua immediately threw away the notebook in her hand.
"This book is too ugly. I don't want to read it anymore. Let's change it."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, sister. I also think this book is not good."
Concubine Jing immediately threw away the storybook.
The two picked up the same book and continued reading.
After watching for a while, the two began to discuss again.
"Hey, this Lin Wangshi is such a bastard. She's clearly married to the Lin family's son, but she keeps her lover in her house without telling her husband. She's lawless."
"How could there be such a woman in the world who behaves so absurdly? She even claims that she and her lover are truly in love and that she had to do this out of true love."
"It's strange. If she really loved her lover, she shouldn't have chosen to get married. Why did she marry her husband and still talk about pursuing true love?"
"Sister, this is because Lin Wangshi's lover's family is poor. She wants both the wealth and splendor of her husband's family and her lover's attentiveness and attention. This woman is so greedy!"
Feng Wanwan guessed the general content of the story just by listening to the two people's discussion.
She squinted her eyes and yawned.
[Haha, this is a story about eating in the east and sleeping in the west.]
[The women here are really greedy. They are clearly nothing, yet they still want to take advantage of everything.]
[People like this are most likely to fall into trouble due to their greed. They won't get any food from the east or a place to stay from the west, and will even be covered in stinky feces!]
[However, it's really rare. Why does my mother love reading this kind of storybook so much? I remember when we were under house arrest in Yikun Palace, she read it every day. Now she reads it whenever she has free time.]
[She reads this storybook every day, but how can she never finish it? Who on earth collected so many storybooks for her?]
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hua pursed her lips and smiled, her smile shy, sweet and proud.
Then he looked up seemingly unintentionally at the two Zhen Qias in the yard who were trembling and holding the pen unsteadily.
"Fang promised, what do you think of Lin Wangshi in this story?"
"ah?"
Zhen Qia was almost fainting from the sun, but the pain in her knee kept her awake and prevented her from fainting.
She was struggling to hold on, but when she heard Concubine Hua and Concubine Jing talking about the storybook, she felt a chill on her back and the uneasiness in her heart began to bubble up like boiling water.
But when he suddenly heard Concubine Hua's question, his body froze instantly and his face lost all color and turned pale.
"The Imperial Concubine punished me by copying the Heart Sutra. I dared not be distracted, so I knew who the Lin Wangshi you were talking about was."
How could she not know who Lin Wangshi was? Lin Wangshi was the woman that Concubine Hua and Concubine Jing were discussing, the woman who married a husband but had an affair with her lover.
Lin Wang's behavior is very similar to her current situation.
And at this moment, Concubine Hua suddenly asked her this, Zhen Qia's heart was in her throat, and she felt that the blood in her body had frozen.
Could it be that Concubine Hua already knows about her and Yinli?
