Chapter Eighty-Six: Concubine Hui's Scheme
Chen Yu chose a sunny room, there was some dust in it, because there was no one living in it for a long time, there was a smell in the room, Chen Yu opened the doors and windows, while cleaning, while ventilating, and quickly cleaned up the room.
One person in one room, this treatment is better than before, it seems that Zheng Cairen has done a good thing by demoting Chen Yu over. At least Chen Yu has a personal independent space to do his own thing, and he is not afraid of being discovered.
After a few days of life in the cold palace, Chen Yu felt that the cold palace was not as terrible as the palace maids outside, but they couldn't go out, which was not a big deal, not to mention that if Chen Yu really wanted to go out, the two guards outside really couldn't stop Chen Yu.
It's just that Chen Yu is not the kind of person who loves to wander, and in this cold palace, he has enough to live. These days, Chen Yu is just cleaning the courtyard, and the aunt in charge is not too embarrassed Chen Yu, those side halls where there are no people are only cleaned once every few days, and they will not be cleaned every day, after all, no one pays attention to the cold palace, and there is no need to toss these poor palace maids.
In the past few days, Chen Yu has also met several other palace maids in the cold palace, they are all much older than Chen Yu, but it seems that these palace maids are very reluctant to come to the cold palace, living in this small place all day long, without freedom, and living a simple life, which makes these palace maids who have lived a good life for a while very unbalanced.
However, after so many years in the cold palace, these palace maids also accepted their fate, and only waited for the time to leave the palace. In fact, the fate of these palace maids is not bad, even worse, they will die directly, and they can be demoted to the cold palace, which is not the worst, even the Huanyi Bureau is more difficult than the cold palace, and the cold palace is just a little colder, unlike the Huanyi Bureau, which has endless work.
The Cold Palace originally had a garden, but now it was deserted, and Chen Yu came to the place where it was supposed to be a garden. Now it is overgrown with weeds, Chen Yu took a look, the land here is still very fertile, and Chen Yu also saw some precious plants remaining in the corners. I guess this cold palace wasn't like this before.
If you can dig out here and grow some vegetables, the living standard of the cold palace can also be improved, after all, there is also a small kitchen in the cold palace, just ordinary palace maids. There is no extra silver to buy ingredients, seasonings, etc., if you grow it yourself, there are not so many restrictions, and many vegetables only need to be planted, and they can grow without much care, it is just a matter of how much or less the harvest is.
However, Chen Yu is just thinking about it, although this is a cold palace, he is still in the palace and grows vegetables here. It's too shocking, and the housekeeper must not be able to accept it.
However, if you don't grow vegetables, the wild vegetables that grow here can still be picked and eaten, Chen Yu sprinkled a lot of wild vegetable seeds on this land, and after a while, there will be more wild vegetables to eat, fortunately Chen Yu has collected wild vegetables before, otherwise, get out the vegetables planted. It will arouse everyone's suspicion.
Chen Yu looked at everyone and knew that the life in the cold palace was hard, and although he couldn't die of hunger, he couldn't eat well. After deducting the layers of deductions, the daily meals are just a little bit, and there is nothing meaty.
There are no impermeable walls in the palace. Just when Chen Yu was slowly adapting to the life of the cold palace, the palace also became a joke about Chen Yu. The other concubines listened to it, after all, they had been transferred to the cold palace by Zheng Cairen. They are not afraid of what waves Chen Yu can make.
However, when this news reached Concubine Hui's ears, Concubine Hui had an idea in her heart.
"Niangniang, the imperial doctor has already come, and there is no good news from the two little masters." Concubine Hui's palace maid Biyu said.
"It's just a waste, the palace spent so much effort to push the two of them onto the dragon bed, but these two people can't hook the emperor's heart at all, I'm afraid the emperor has forgotten people now, and it doesn't matter if he can't hook the emperor, now he doesn't even have the prince pregnant, such a waste is really useless." Concubine Hui said angrily.
"Don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry. Those two are palace maids, they can't get things on the stage, how can they get the emperor's love, if it weren't for the face of the mother, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to mix up a small promise, and it is not worth it to be angry for such a humble person. Mama Zhang said.
"Forget it, I don't plan to count on these two people, but recently I heard that there seems to be a palace maid with a good appearance from Zheng Cairen recently, I don't know if there is such a thing." Concubine Hui asked.
"Recently, Zheng Cairen sent a palace maid to the cold palace, and I heard from a few low-grade concubines, it seems that she is a woman with a good appearance, but I inquired, the palace maid is only ten years old, a little younger, although the posture is good, but it is impossible to use it immediately." Mama Zhang said.
"In this way, it doesn't matter if she is young, just raise it for a few years, anyway, now the emperor is still young, and the prince is not in a hurry, count the palace maid, spare it, she was demoted to the cold palace by Zheng Cairen, if the palace can bring her out, she will be grateful to Dade, not to mention that I am going to give her a fortune." But it's more right than what I said, ten years old, it's a little younger, let her stay in the cold palace first, wait for a while, if there is no suitable candidate, and then transfer her out, only if she suffers, will she cherish the rich life. Concubine Hui said.
"What the mother said is very true. Do you need to take care of the cold palace? Mama Zhang asked.
"No need, let it be, go to the Internal Affairs Office first and then see, if there is a suitable palace maid, it is best to be of the right age and suitable for production, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a prince when you are young." Concubine Hui said.
"Niangniang, Imperial Physician Zheng prescribed a recuperation prescription for Niangniang, and Imperial Physician Zheng said that as long as Niangniang recuperates well, she will give birth to a prince. Now that Niangniang has been taking medicine for half a month, do you want to see the effect and then choose the palace maids, otherwise if the Niangniang is pregnant, she will have to spend more effort to suppress these palace maids. Mama Zhang said.
"Recuperation prescription, I don't know how much I've eaten in the medicinal diet, and it has no effect so far, but this time Imperial Doctor Zheng has to swear by it, then I'll try it first, anyway, it's a delay for a few months, it's not a big deal." Concubine Hui agreed.
"Niangniang is extremely noble, and she will definitely be able to get what she wants and give birth to a little prince." Mama Zhang said.
Concubine Hui's calculations Chen Yu has no way of knowing, after all, even if Chen Yu has mental power, he will not monitor everyone all the time, at most he will look at the safety of his sisters, so Chen Yu doesn't know at all that it is not the worst for him to be beaten into the cold palace as a palace maid, and it is fatal to be remembered by Concubine Hui.
