Cheng'en Hall and Inner Hall.
Huan Yue woke up in bed and saw a scene of joy.
Since she transmigrated into the book, she's been fighting a war every day and hasn't had time to think about anything else.
She looked outside; it was just getting light, and she was hungry.
The young palace maid hurriedly got up from her makeshift bed on the floor and asked cautiously, "Your Highness is awake? It's still early."
Huan Yue sat on the edge of the bed, feeling quite cold.
However, I'm sleeping well; compared to the living hell I experienced before, I'm very happy now. The conditions in the palace are far superior to those in the Pei family.
The Pei family is a destitute and incompetent family.
Compared to the book's perspective written from the male and female protagonists' point of view, Huan Yue's perspective, written from the viewpoint of every living, breathing person, is quite despicable.
Because the book is written from the perspective of the male and female protagonists, there are some things that Huan Yue is not aware of.
She knows she is alive now, and that's all she needs to do.
Several more palace maids came in.
Huan Yue felt that their attitude towards the Crown Princess was acceptable, so she was at ease: "Tell the kitchen to prepare more food."
A female official chimed in, "What would Your Majesty like to eat?"
Huan Yue didn't stand on ceremony: "If there's any meat, you can have some."
The female official was surprised, but said nothing. She withdrew to relay the message.
Among the other palace maids who served their masters, she was not only beautiful, but also had a good temper.
Huan Yue changed his clothes and looked in the mirror.
This face is a standard, dignified face, with a round, fleshy chin that you'd want to pinch.
Although she can't read faces, her features should be quite good. As for the ending of the original book, that's the original book; now it's hers.
She was not short and had a good figure; Huan Yue was satisfied with the clothes the maid had chosen.
She didn't have the means to wear such fine clothes in her past life, but after experiencing life and death, she's become much more indifferent to these things. Besides, as long as she stays in the Qing'e Palace, she won't lack these things.
Huan Yue came out from the inner hall.
The central room is like a main hall, very spacious, with a throne placed in front of it.
This throne is not as grand as the emperor's or empress's, but it is still very comfortable. Just think how many women in the world would like to sit on it.
Huan Yue can sit up as soon as he wakes up.
He still looks a bit like he hasn't woken up yet.
Similar to how a fake heiress suddenly became the Crown Princess, she, a commoner, suddenly became the second most noble woman in the world, which was quite surprising.
The Pei family's dowry, a large group, has arrived.
The lady-in-waiting entered and first asked her mistress, "Where is breakfast served?"
Huan Yue asked, "Which place is more convenient?"
After all, the palace wasn't fully prepared yet. She'd eat wherever was convenient for her.
The lady-in-waiting was dazzled by her bright eyes! The servant, realizing she shouldn't look at her master so casually, quickly lowered her head and said respectfully, "Then place it here."
The place is spacious; you can set up a table, eat your meal, and then remove the table—it's very convenient.
The people who were originally in the palace quickly figured out the Crown Princess's temperament; after all, many of them were shrewd and calculating.
The people from the Pei family were quite flustered!
The two maids scrambled and knelt before Huan Yue.
Huan Yue sat on the throne, which was placed on a platform seven inches high.
This platform is not for ordinary people to use; even maids can only use it if they are on duty.
The two maids could only kneel down, crying with snot and tears streaming down their faces: "Quickly, fetch the imperial physician for Mother Qi!"
Huan Yue frowned slightly. Although the Crown Prince's wife was not allowed to frown, she could frown but not say it. She casually said, "Why is Qi so spoiled? Did she not come to the palace to be a concubine?"
The maidservant exclaimed angrily, "Mother Qi is badly injured!"
Huan Yue couldn't help but frown: "It seems I'm arguing with servants again. Look at the way you all are."
Is it sleazy or not to have snot and tears streaming down your face?
Although the spring night is cold, it shouldn't be cold enough for them to get chilled, right?
They were all teenage girls, and those selected were all considered to be quite good-looking.
An official came over and scolded, "How dare you speak to the master like that?"
Huan Yue said, "The Pei family has been in decline for a long time, and they are behaving disrespectfully in the Eastern Palace. Drag them away and give them thirty lashes so they can learn proper manners and not embarrass His Highness."
The eunuch was taken aback, but reacted quickly, ordering a palace attendant to drag the man away. He glanced at Huan Yue again.
Huan Yue blinked gently.
I was almost blinded by the light! The eunuch dared not look around carelessly.
Anyone with common sense knows that beating someone to death is unacceptable, but if giving them thirty strokes of the cane is too lenient, then no one can be blamed.
As for the Crown Princess, who beat up her own people on her very first day in the palace, it's clear that the Pei family deserved to be beaten.
As for the impact of killing him on the Crown Princess and the Eastern Palace,
In any case, the decision was made by Huan Yue.
The two maids hadn't even reacted yet.
The rest of the Pei family were stunned! Wasn't this the case of Qi Shi and Yu Zhu being injured yesterday, and now they're going to punish two more?
There are twelve people in total, and a third of them have to go before they've even had breakfast?
The two maids realized what was happening and struggled fiercely, but the eunuch held them down tightly.
Besides the twelve women who accompanied the Crown Princess as part of her dowry, the Qing'e Palace also had twenty-four palace maids and twenty-four eunuchs, for a total of sixty people.
Therefore, the twelve maids who came with the dowry were not many; their main purpose was to serve the Crown Princess and not to perform other duties.
As for the Crown Princess needing to go out, other personnel will be calculated separately.
Yu Yansuan was a sixth-rank official in the inner palace, and the simplest way to address him was the Grand Eunuch of the Qing'e Palace.
Qi Shi was subdued, and he could be considered the chief steward.
However, smart people are all watching and waiting; deciding who is in charge of how many things is not a simple matter.
There was a fierce battle going on here, and suppressing the Pei family would be a good solution.
Huan Yue asked the Pei family's dowry maids, "No one pleaded for them?"
The Pei family members quickly knelt down, behaving much more respectfully this time.
This place is truly terrifying; if we drag this out any longer, they could be wiped out.
The others looked at each other, some busy, others quickly passing on messages.
Huan Yue was actually asking casually.
Cuizhu was an honest maid. Although she was afraid, she tried her best to remain calm: "They... they don't treat Your Highness as the Crown Princess."
Another maid, small like a white flower, said in a soft voice, "Please, Master, forgive them this time."
Huan Yue was so hungry he felt like he could eat a whole cow.
The main room is spacious; people kneel here, and there's still plenty of space near the entrance.
The eunuchs brought over a table, and Huan Yue gestured for it to be placed there.
Springtime is beautiful, and a faint fragrance of flowers wafts on the breeze.
Bring the Crown Prince in.
That scoundrel! He came in against the light early in the morning, and when he saw the maid turn around and look at him, her face turned red!
Huan Yue saw that he was frowning and in a bad mood, so could she finish her breakfast first?
The little white flower quickly crawled over and knelt before the Crown Prince, whimpering, "Please, Your Highness..."
She stretched out her small hand like a cat to scratch the hem of His Highness's python robe. Randomly grabbing would not do, so she was being so careful that it made people feel sorry for her.
Xie Zhou stood against the light, his gaze piercing Pei Shi, his voice devoid of emotion: "You haven't trained your people properly yet?"
Huan Yue stood up and walked down from the platform.
Her surname is not Pei.
The little white flower looked up at His Highness, her eyes watery, but His Highness didn't look at her, so she could only look at Huan Yue.
Huan Yue looked at the eunuch and said, "Drag him away and give him thirty strokes of the cane."
Alright! The eunuch himself came to drag Little White Flower away.
Seeing that things were not going well, Little White Flower quickly hugged His Highness.
Xie Zhou kicked her!
Little White Flower wanted to hold on desperately, but the eunuch was very experienced.
It seems that some people are only now realizing how cruel the palace can be.
