Shicui Hall.
The kitchen was smoky and smelly again this morning.
Chen Zhi had dug up some firewood from somewhere, and it wasn't very dry. She spent ages trying to cook porridge, but it wasn't done.
The west wing was the furthest from the kitchen, and Chang Ziyu was also there, her face blackened by the smoke.
After all, she had been beaten yesterday, so she preferred to stay indoors. But now that the weather was nice, she decided to come out.
Liu was preparing to fertilize, and the smell inside would be stronger than outside. Chang Ziyu's face grew even darker.
The palace maid let out a sneer.
Regardless of who is more noble, Chang Ziyu is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jianchang's family, while Chen Zhi is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jianping's family. Now Chen Zhi is cooking with tears in her eyes, while Chang Ziyu can pose for photos. It seems she hasn't been punished enough.
However, since Chen Zhi was willing to be a slave, the others had nothing to say.
Chen Zhi was full of energy and made a delicious millet porridge before Chang Ziyu starved to death.
The cucumbers in the field looked good, and when stir-fried with eggs, Chen Zhi's mouth watered.
But all the good food had to be offered to the master first.
Chen Zhi made sure she looked presentable, as everything she did had to be done with a sense of ritual; otherwise, serving her master would affect his appetite.
Therefore, Chang Ziyu saw that the porridge was served a quarter of an hour late.
Chen Zhi saw the Empress standing in the morning light, and it was just like her! She cheerfully called out, "Your Majesty!"
Looking at her lewd face, Chang Ziyu felt utterly disgusted. She could only try her best to pretend she didn't see it.
Liu laughed every time she heard a sound, and laughed every time she looked at something; she was extremely happy.
Chang Ziyu and Chen Zhi were used to it.
Chen Zhi brought it over, saying with genuine emotion, "Your Highness looks absolutely gorgeous!"
Chang Ziyu entered the house.
Chen Zhi followed her inside, being careful not to trip over the threshold.
She still walks with a limp, and yesterday's broken porcelain shards aggravated her injuries.
So it's quite lewd, but once you get used to it, she can do it!
The palace maid thought to herself, "Chen Zhi has had a very difficult life. We should respect someone who strives to live."
Sunlight shines into the main room, making it a very nice room.
Chang Ziyu looked at the fragrant millet porridge and cucumber stir-fried with eggs and had a good appetite.
Chen Zhi was overjoyed to see her eat; it was a great honor for the Empress to appreciate her and to eat her cooking every day. Chen Zhi was willing to offer all her loyalty and be the Empress's number one dog.
No one else knows this now, only Chen Zhi is by the Empress's side, so naturally she will trust her the most in the future.
Chen Zhi didn't ask for much; she just wanted to live a good life and have millet porridge every day without having to cook for herself.
Chang Ziyu finished eating, and said it was alright. Her standards were very low.
If she makes even the slightest request, she'll drive herself crazy.
Chen Zhi rubbed her eyes, holding back her tears, and forced a smile on her lewd face: "Master's birthday is on the sixth day of the eighth lunar month, it's time to make preparations."
Chang Ziyu looked at her; she was too much of an eyesore, so she stopped looking.
Chen Zhi lowered her head. She didn't want this either; she might be disfigured. But as a servant, her face wasn't as important as the Empress's.
Chen Zhi was very open-minded; one should be more easygoing: "Master should live well with His Highness. It would be best if he could stay."
Chang Ziyu's heart skipped a beat, and she frowned again.
She wasn't ready! Even though she was in the Eastern Palace, she just wasn't ready!
She was not satisfied with how that man treated her!
Chen Zhi hurriedly advised, "It's all a misunderstanding. If Master doesn't take the initiative, how long will it drag on? Are you going to keep suffering while others are gloating? Master only needs to lower his head; he doesn't have to do anything. They'll know when the time comes, and it will be their turn to cry."
All that's missing is the Empress bowing her head.
Chen Zhi and Chang Ziyu felt extremely pleased just thinking about how those people knelt down and wept bitterly!
Chang Ziyu couldn't bear it for a second longer; she wanted to bow down to His Highness right now!
But how could she lower her head?
She never wanted to go to Baishi Village. The Pei family moved her to Baishi Village without asking for her consent.
Chen Zhi said, "Shouldn't the Pei family go to the palace to celebrate the birthday? How did the master celebrate his birthday in the past? This year, although the preparations are rushed, we can't be careless. It will get better year by year."
Chang Ziyu thought it made sense; in the past, the Pei family would send her gifts for her birthday.
There's no reason I wouldn't remember her this year, but she was stopped by the Crown Prince, right?
Therefore, Chang Ziyu needs to clear up the misunderstanding, otherwise it will be too troublesome. Besides, Di Baose keeps hitting her, and she really can't stand it!
Chang Ziyu said, "You can decide what to prepare for your birthday."
Chen Zhi was dumbfounded; she had never done this before!
However, knowing that this was the Empress's trust in her, she was determined to do it well and not disappoint the Empress!
Thinking that if they succeeded, Chen Zhi suggested to the Empress, "We need to prepare clothes and make sure we look our most beautiful."
This won't do; I need to rest and recover properly for the next few days.
Chang Ziyu calculated that she could make several sets of clothes, but none of them were particularly beautiful.
No, like Deborah.
Although she was very plain in Baishi Village, who doesn't like glamour?
If Your Highness sees an even more beautiful her, does any misunderstanding matter?
Chang Ziyu knew this. Moreover, she was confident she could seduce him.
Perhaps, I need to blend a perfume.
Even if there's nothing there.
Chang Ziyu wanted to curse, but she also felt that she had to change the situation as soon as possible, so she just bowed her head.
She bows her head so she can raise it again! She'll teach everyone a lesson! She'll teach that man a lesson!
Outside, several palace maids came to gossip: "The Pei family is utterly despicable! They're still in mourning!"
"I've never seen a more shameless family!"
"So Pei Jinnu and Pei Huanxin said they were going to see Pei Huanqiao, but their real purpose was to see the Prince, right? Now that they've been kept here, they must be overjoyed."
"The women of the Pei family are all the same as those in Qin Lou. They're born with a beautiful face."
Chen Zhi angrily muttered, "Who doesn't have the surname Pei?"
The palace maid turned around and slapped her: "Your mistress is surnamed Pei, so you're the same at heart."
