In the morning, Chen Zhi woke up from a nightmare.
The rain stopped today, and the weather looks quite nice, very nice indeed.
The vegetable garden is growing very well.
Although Zhihui and Qingai don't need Chang Chenghui to cook their meals, they can pick their vegetables from here.
Leaving it to rot in the ground is a waste. Just leave enough food for Chang Chenghui.
The eunuch exclaimed excitedly, "Make some steamed buns! The ones Her Majesty made yesterday!"
Zhihui made the decision: "Yes."
If there aren't enough side dishes, you can ask for more; it's all within their allotted allowance. Life in the Eastern Palace is quite comfortable.
Some cunning individuals wanted to take action against the Empress, but her fists were very intimidating.
Besides, since the Empress doesn't concern herself with illicit affairs, they'll behave themselves.
The name Zhihui is supposedly the same as Chen Zhi, but Zhihui is an eighth-rank official, so what if it's the same as Chen Zhi?
Sunlight streamed into the room, and the palace maid opened the window.
Chen Zhi felt even more pain all over her body!
Those who haven't endured eighty strokes of the cane can't imagine how deadly it can be!
Chen Zhi had suffered before, but it seems she hadn't suffered any worse than this. So, will the Crown Prince's situation become even worse than before?
Chen Zhi quickly dismissed the idea and looked at the Empress.
Chang Ziyu's situation was slightly better than hers, but they were in similar straits.
Chang Ziyu met Chen Zhi's gaze and was so angry she went crazy: "You bitch! You tried to kill me! I won't let you get away with this!"
Chen Zhi was timid and was really scared. She cried, and when she cried, she felt pain all over her body. She couldn't stop crying and cried her heart out.
Chang Ziyu couldn't hold back anymore and cried, cried uncontrollably.
Liu was in the vegetable garden outside. After cutting the chives, she needed to fertilize them, otherwise they would grow thin and small.
Farming requires fertilizer, and the sound of crying is also nice accompaniment; I hummed a tune while farming.
The eunuch hummed a tune as he worked.
Compassion? It doesn't exist in the palace.
There's no need to sympathize with someone who fantasizes about becoming an empress.
Zhihui heard that Chen Zhi wasn't in excruciating pain, but was crying her heart out.
The palace maid cursed, "You're sick."
Is "Your Majesty" a title that can be used casually?
Is he going to declare himself emperor? Doesn't the Crown Prince need to be especially careful?
The eunuch said, "That's probably how the Chen family is. They favor their concubines over their wives and don't take Lady Huan seriously."
Don't even mention that Consort Huan will fall out of favor or die young, just like when Empress Dong was around, Consort Cui and the Crown Prince had to put on a show.
These are the most basic rules. The Chen family has absolutely no rules.
The palace maid said, "Look at the Lü family. Lady Shouyang and Lady Nanyang are both of the third rank."
A concubine is not immune to favor or respect, but there must be rules.
People like Gong Zhaoxun are doing very well now, aren't they?
It was truly a blessing to give Chang Chenghui this Shicui Hall!
As long as she lives well and has the air of Shicui Palace, who would dare to do anything to her?
Liu smiled and said, "Isn't the You family your maternal family?"
The palace maid disagreed: "Is marrying into a husband's family for one's own family? Entering the Eastern Palace isn't about serving His Highness, but rather expecting His Highness to serve her?"
It's one thing for a woman to support her own family, but it's another when she brings misfortune to her husband's family and supports her own family.
Chen Zhi was listening in a daze inside the room.
But what did she do wrong? Isn't that the truth? She simply went to the Empress's side and was utterly loyal.
Chen Zhi couldn't let the Empress misunderstand; she had to explain clearly: "This servant is absolutely loyal to you, but why is this happening?"
A palace maid outside laughed and said, "It's because you're too shameless."
The Empress is trying to make everyone feel confident. She is clearly a young lady from the Chen family, yet she is so lowly and unbearable.
Chen Zhi ignored her and only said to the Empress, "His Highness must have misunderstood you."
Chang Ziyu is very tired now.
Zhihui watched as she listened with obvious delight.
Chen Zhi happily confessed, her body no longer aching: "His Highness will definitely discover your goodness and will truly love you. No one in this world is more favored than you."
Chang Ziyu asked angrily, "So what do you want to do?"
Two half-dead, slow-moving beings, yet both capable of conveying their meaning.
People from Shicui Hall and the surrounding empty rooms came over and sat under the eaves to listen to the stories.
Why not listen to such a wonderful show?
Ren Zhaoxun, having nothing better to do, also came over to watch the excitement.
Chen Zhi was probably in pain and not thinking clearly, or perhaps she was eager to confess, but she was in high spirits: "I can swear to heaven, I really only want to serve you. Your Highness loves you the most, and I have no improper thoughts."
Ren Zhaoxun sat in the chair, thinking to himself that this dog was more than qualified.
Di Baose came over and sat down with her, watching Chang Ziyu listen with great delight.
Ren Zhaoxun thought to himself, "Actually, everyone likes to hear that, right?"
Di Baose had heard plenty of stories like this before. But if Chen Zhi and Chang Ziyu wanted to cause trouble, they were in for a beating.
Chen Zhi testified to the Empress: "Shi Cui Palace definitely loves you, but His Highness is not free to do as he pleases. Your Highness, please don't hold it against him."
Chang Ziyu snorted coldly: "You know perfectly well."
Chen Zhi hurriedly said, "I don't know. But everyone knows that the Crown Prince's position is unstable, right? Although His Highness loves you very much and will give you anything, now is not the time."
Chang Ziyu said, "I don't care!"
Ren Zhaoxun felt that she was despicable and wished he could beat her again.
Di Baose was thinking that His Highness was powerless to do anything, and that he would give everything to Chang Ziyu in the future.
So what was Huan Yue busy with? Naturally, he didn't care.
Chen Zhi quickly advised, "Please don't be like this. His Highness is in a difficult situation. Your Highness must understand him and help him. Offer him advice and solutions."
Ren Zhaoxun chuckled to himself.
She may not know much, but do people like Chen Zhi and Chang Ziyu know anything and still offer advice to His Highness?
Do you think everyone is an empress?
Ren Zhaoxun was truly impressed; even the Empress's sister had been granted the title of County Lady.
Isn't all the little girl's favor given by the Empress?
How satisfied would a sage be to include the entire Chang family in the calculation?
Chang Ziyu was in pain and had no mood for anything.
She hadn't even set a goal; she was forcibly brought to the Eastern Palace. She was truly resentful!
Chen Zhi, eager to make a name for herself, exclaimed to the Empress: "This year, the twenty-eight prefectures of Huangxu will suffer a severe drought."
Di Baose and Ren Zhaoxun exchanged a glance. Where is Huangxu Twenty-Eight Prefectures?
Chang Ziyu didn't react, probably because she didn't know either.
Chen Zhi was very anxious: "There are so many people in the twenty-eight prefectures! Some disaster victims have run to the capital and killed people."
Chang Ziyu still did not respond.
Chen Zhi was in a lot of pain and didn't remember much to begin with.
Are you suggesting we let women busy fighting in the harem and inner quarters manage a severe drought? Can you even eat food during a drought?
But Chen Zhi felt this would definitely be useful to His Highness, so she urged the Empress: "If you kill the Imperial Uncle, you can tell His Highness so he can prepare in advance. Once His Highness knows, he will treat you well."
Chang Ziyu finally reacted and asked, "Where did you find out?"
Di Baose sneered; this meant he believed her.
Di Baose listened to Huan Yue and never worried about things that weren't her responsibility.
Ren Zhaoxun thought for a moment and then stopped. It wasn't his business.
Chen Zhi was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, you believe me?"
Pfft! Everyone burst into laughter.
Chen Zhi was practically unconscious, oblivious to everything else, just happy: "Your Majesty, don't worry about it. I just know that I would never harm you. I'll be counting on you from now on."
Di Baose said, "Chen Fengyi is full of energy, so let him serve me and Chang Chenghui."
