Chang Ziyu woke up in the morning.
Her life is becoming more and more secure; she's not at risk of losing it at any moment.
Caiwei took meticulous care of her; the weather was quite nice.
A group of people have arrived from the Eastern Palace, as well as from the Dark Fragrance Courtyard, and with the addition of two new Imperial Attendants, some things have become more convenient.
Chang Fengyi lived in the westernmost room, separated from the main house by another room, which was quiet.
The eunuch was more assertive than the Imperial Attendant, but now he stood by the window, lost in thought.
Afterwards, Chang Ziyu was tidied up. Although she couldn't get out of bed, she felt a sense of comfort.
We don't cherish it usually, just like breathing. Only when we exhale more than we inhale do we really want to take a big, deep breath.
Just like steamed buns, they taste especially delicious after you've been hungry for a few days.
Caiwei was methodical; once she finished her work, it was time to fetch the food.
Chang Ziyu called out.
Although her shouts were unclear, Caiwei stopped and asked, "Does Master have any instructions?"
Chang Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "Go and find out."
The eunuch in front came over, stood at the door, and looked into the darker inner room: "Yesterday, ten beauties were sent to the Crown Prince's Palace, and then Miss Chen came too."
The deposition of the empress was mostly related to this. Sending concubines as gifts is normal, but Chen Zhen's arrival was highly unusual. And Consort Huan consistently accused Empress Dong of interfering in the Eastern Palace's affairs.
When an empress becomes an imperial concubine, she can only govern a small part of the inner palace. If an imperial concubine does not have the imperial seal, she has no control over the inner palace.
Chang Ziyu felt gloomy and uncomfortable! She felt unwell all over! She asked, "Where are those people?"
Caiwei told what she knew: "Two of you are in Anxiang Courtyard, two of you are in Luqi Courtyard, and four of you are in Wenqi Courtyard. Two of you have been promoted to female officials."
It's not hard to figure out that they're all neat and tidy.
**
Fucui Palace.
It was originally a nice place, but after letting Cui stay there for a while, it didn't look so good anymore.
Prince Xie Zhu of Yan was called over by his mother early in the morning. He sat on the steps of the platform and watched his mother sitting under the eaves, lost in thought. Xie Zhu looked at the sky and the grass growing in the corner, feeling utterly bored.
Although it's late autumn, the grass will still grow, and there seems to be half a bead in that corner, still shining in the sunlight.
Xie Zhu wasn't surprised at all. His mother probably just got used to smashing things.
The good stuff is gone, but the one or two things that were smashed for her are still here.
That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if his mother has gotten older and uglier now.
Lady Cui got up, went into the room, and told the palace maids to help her dress up nicely.
The palace maids worked silently.
Although Cui has been having a tough time lately, life in the palace has actually been quite good. Her foundation isn't so easily ruined.
Just like the Cui family's deep-rooted resources, it would be very easy for the Cui family to cause trouble.
The deposed empress, as everyone knows.
But placing Lady Dong in the rank of Imperial Noble Consort immediately dashed their dreams.
According to the previous imperial edict, Lady Dong could no longer be made empress; Lady Cui could no longer return to the rank of imperial concubine.
Could Lady Cui be content with that? She had spent half her life in the Floating Green Palace, from the Eastern Palace to the Kunyu Palace.
Cui was thinking a lot when she was disturbed by the noise outside.
When Cui came out, she saw Xie Zhu and Princess Huayang fighting!
Xie Zhu had a slap mark on his face, and Princess Huayang was being hit by being pulled by the hair.
A group of palace maids and eunuchs tried to mediate the fight.
Xie Zhu roared, "Who doesn't want to die?"
The servants were truly terrified. Especially since King Zheng had killed so many with a single sword strike. If King Yan had killed a few servants, he probably wouldn't have gotten away with it when Lady Cui was out of favor. Lady Cui was out of favor, but King Yan had sided with the Crown Prince.
The Cui family is attacking!
She looked even more beautiful in the sunlight than before! Suddenly, Xie Zhu bumped into her and knocked her over!
Because Xie Zhu was on the steps, Cui lost her footing and hurriedly grabbed Princess Huayang's clothes.
Princess Huayang lunged fiercely at her mother!
Xie Zhu scrambled to his feet and ran, trying to find a safe place. Look how shameless his mother and older sister are!
Will we still talk about the third sister? It seems her mother and eldest sister got into a fight.
Mrs. Cui was hit by her son and tackled by her daughter, so she slapped him in anger.
The arm hurt terribly when I slapped him.
But when Princess Huayang saw this, she didn't stand on ceremony. She pushed her mother aside and left, then stood up with the help of a palace maid.
Princess Huayang didn't push hard, but it was a special spot, and Cui's head hit the stone with a crack.
The magnificent crown on her head shattered, and beads scattered everywhere.
Cui let out a scream, startling the palace maids who were supporting her, who were unsure of the extent of her injuries.
The crowd shouted in panic, "Quickly, summon the imperial physician!"
"Go find His Majesty!"
Consort Cui is so badly injured, of course she should seek His Majesty's help. How could His Majesty not feel sorry for her?
If His Majesty feels sorry for you, you might get everything you want. At the very least, it'll be a consolation and save face.
The imperial harem is a place where people fawn over the powerful and trample on the weak. Even if everyone doesn't make things too ugly on the surface, they're still essentially putting Cui down.
If a saint comes, it means there are still old ties, and others should be careful.
Xie Zhu was beaten, but he stood aside and watched the group of people making a mess of things.
Princess Huayang shouted angrily, "Tie him up!"
Xie Zhu casually sat down on the ground; it was quite cold, but it didn't matter. He sneered, "Tying me up? Let's see who has the guts to do that?"
Doesn't Princess Huayang have any shame? At least she has to maintain control of Cui's little territory: "Who dares to disobey?"
A group of lackeys hesitated.
Xie Zhu was in no hurry: "Princess Huayang is amazing! Should we tie up my second brother tomorrow?"
Princess Huayang was furious: "You beast! I've wasted my time raising you!"
When Xie Zhu saw that his father, the emperor, was indeed sentimental and had come, his son quickly knelt down.
Princess Huayang, disheveled and in a fit of madness, cried out: "Do you think kneeling will do any good? You think you're so capable, running off to the Eastern Palace to farm? They just think you're a fool!"
The palace maid tried to remind the princess, but she ignored her. The palace maid, being bold, pushed the princess to kneel down.
Princess Huayang slapped him across the face: "Do you lackeys also want to rebel?"
The emperor spoke up: "Sixth Prince, come with me."
He turned and left.
Yes! Xie Zhu got up and chased after his father like a little puppy.
He was naturally happy to have a child with the Emperor!
Princess Huayang snapped out of her daze and screamed, "Father!"
I ignored her today.
Princess Huayang chased after them.
So, on this crisp autumn day when the empress was deposed, the entire harem was filled with trepidation. Many people watched as Princess Huayang chased after the imperial carriage in a disheveled state.
The imperial carriage wasn't moving very fast, and Xie Zhu was quite cheerful as he followed behind. Even though he was a bit disheveled, he was still a mischievous child. This was a sign of being favored.
Princess Huayang was a woman, and she was clumsy and hesitant. She was also thinking about how she would lose face, so she was naturally slow.
As everyone knows, Princess Huayang has completely fallen out of favor.
I thought that when the Empress was deposed, the Emperor went to Fucui Palace and the situation would be complicated; who knew that it would turn out like this in the blink of an eye.
Su, looking all charming, rushed out and blocked the emperor's path.
Those watching openly and secretly were speechless. Could it be that even after the empress was deposed, the Su family still wanted to...?
Although Su was heavily pregnant, she was still a stunning beauty!
She's not proper, but that's exactly what men like.
He sits on the imperial carriage now, his eyes very deep.
Princess Huayang rushed over and pushed Su Shi aside.
"Ouch!" Su lay on the ground, clutching her stomach and screaming in agony!
Now, have someone drag Su Shi and Princess Huayang away, and deal with them as they see fit.
Princess Huayang felt a chill run down her spine, a result of Xie Zhu's earlier actions.
