Li Chengze didn't mention that Crown Princess Zhou Ying had also come to the garden. In fact, the Queen Mother knew about it, but she didn't mention her either, which was considered a favor.

After Zhou Ying returned, she was also punished. She copied scriptures at home and meditated. Both her father and Mrs. Zhou reprimanded her. She should not have gone into troubled waters. She was a wife and should not act like a jealous daughter.

She shouldn't get mixed up with the concubines in the backyard. The first wife is entitled to be superior. What's the point of mixing with the concubines? She has lowered her status.

Zhou Ying lowered her head to copy scriptures, feeling no one to tell her grievances and bitterness. She also didn’t quite agree with her mother’s words. How could the concubines of the Prince of the East Palace be lumped together? How could they be ordinary concubines? They could be suppressed at will. Who is not an official daughter with a backing? , how can we take it lightly?

I went to help, not to join forces to cause trouble. Why did the prince blame me?

Li Chengze was sitting in the study, looking very unhappy.

"This is the person the Queen singled out. He is extremely stupid."

Among the women in the room, only Huilan was useful, the rest were stupid, even the princess was not very smart.

Why are you, a real wife, here to interfere with your concubine's affairs? Isn't it too late to look at her after you enter?

Li Chengze was very dissatisfied with the Crown Princess's appearance in the garden, and even felt disappointed.

I originally had great expectations and yearnings for the Crown Princess. After all, she was personally selected by my father, so she could not go wrong.

I didn’t expect that the first meeting would be like this. My appearance and bearing are okay, and I look pretty good. I didn’t expect to do such a thing. Are you impatient and want to know how to control the backyard, and then control yourself?

At present, only Huilan is the most favored in the East Palace, and everyone else has been punished. The Crown Princess must have come to see her because she wanted to know about Huilan. She even had the same intention as Ma's daughter, who came to beat Lan'er.

Li Chengze was really right. Zhou Ying's attitude was similar to that of Ma's daughter, and she had the same thoughts, but she would not be as stupid as Ma's daughter and said it directly.

A few simple questions to say hello are enough. You have different identities. After asking, you will be beaten. No heavy hammer is needed to sound the drum.

Unexpectedly, the Ma family girl took the lead and was slapped back by Li Chengze, which caught Zhou Ying off guard.

"Master, do you want to eat?"

Chang Ji sighed inwardly and asked.

"Go to Qinghui Garden for dinner."

If you don't let me pamper you, will I stay cold? Am I your lapdog? Just have fun and dream. I want to pamper you and protect you. What can you do to me?

"yes."

Li Chengze took Chang Ji and strode to Qinghui Garden and saw Huilan squatting in the flower garden planting flowers with a small shovel.

"His Royal Highness Kang'an, have you had your meal?"

Huilan stood up and bowed, then came closer and asked eagerly.

"No, I want to have dinner with you. Are you planting flowers?"

"Well, let's plant some more herbs, and we're replanting some other flowers and plants over there."

After Huilan's skillful care and modification, this small flowerbed is already very attractive. Although it has not bloomed yet, the outline can already be seen.

"Well, it's a bit level."

Huilan put down the shovel and clapped her hands and followed him into the house.

"Yesterday, Ma's daughter was beaten, and the Queen Mother even asked her to copy Buddhist scriptures, which can be considered as a relief for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for seeking justice for me."

Huilan was not satisfied in her heart, but due to her different status, some things really shouldn't be too impulsive and willful.

"It's rare that you didn't take advantage of the victory this time and pursue it."

Li Chengze naturally knew that given her temper, this was considered a concession, and it was only for herself after all.

"The Ma family is protected by the queen, isn't it? This time it was the Ma family that was not justified, so it stopped. If you seize the opportunity in the future, you will definitely rub me in the face. Let's wait until she comes in. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

And that Zhou Ying, I remember you, don’t think that I don’t know what you want to do, we’ll see.

"You are right, it will be the same after entering the door, but you don't have to worry now, Ma's daughter is an idiot, she will definitely not be able to fight a little fox like you."

Li Chengze didn't propose a replacement because he took a fancy to Ma's daughter's stupidity and ease of control.

Huilan nodded, it would be more troublesome for someone smarter to come in and destroy the balance of power in the East Palace.

The prince defending himself in this way was actually very kind to her. He didn't even give the princess face that day.

"Okay, for your sake and the Queen's too majestic face, I'll forget it this time and remember to settle the accounts together next time."

It's impossible to forget, but you can keep track of it.

"Hahaha! You girl is really..., okay, it's up to you."

Li Chengze knew that this girl was very thief, and when seeking revenge, she would definitely hit others for their faults, and she would never make mistakes.

Just like that night, she was very smart and pointed out that she was a young girl and was not favored. When the imperial grandmother found out that it was true, she immediately changed her attitude.

This girl is a little thieving cat, a little fox, and most slippery.

"Thank you Zelang, the Crown Princess even said a word for me that day."

She mentioned it deliberately, not out of kindness. Li Chengze was an introverted, withdrawn, and suspicious person.

"Hmph! Silly girl, the person who stands up for you may not be good to you, but may want to harm you. Don't trust others too much, even the princess is the same."

She is much smarter than Ma's daughter. If the mistress of the East Palace is shrewd, she won't have any bones left.

"ah?"

Huilan looked at him confusedly, not quite understanding what he meant.

"Silly girl, remember to come and discuss it with me first. Don't just trust other people's words. If you can't make up your mind, just come and ask me."

"Oh, I got it."

Huilan smiled with satisfaction and hugged his neck and kissed him.

"I have to go to the Ministry of Justice to do some work in the past two days. It may be a bit busy. You can play in the yard by yourself. If you need anything, go to Chang Ji."

"Well, feel free to go and do your work. I don't go out of the yard very often. There are a lot of things I can do, so don't worry about me."

"Okay, good girl. It's getting colder. You can make me a big cloak."

Li Chengze likes the clothes and shoes she makes. The embroidery is exquisite and lifelike, and very beautiful.

"All right."

Huilan reluctantly agreed with her mouth wilting.

Li Chengze raised his hand to scratch her nose and smiled happily.

"Don't shave my nose. If the bridge of my nose collapses, it will look ugly."

Huilan's eyes widened like a kitten with fried fur, and she complained angrily.

"She is also my little darling, the most beautiful girl."

The women in the East Palace walked around, and Lan'er still found the most pleasing to the eye, being sensible, smart and smart, while those women were all stupid.

Huilan tilted her chin and glanced at him with an arrogant look on her face, then turned away and pouted her lips in disgust, which made him very happy.

While resting in Qinghui Garden at night, Huilan helped Li Chengze change the ointment, which was more effective than before.

His talent is much better than mine, he can withstand larger doses of medicine, and he is better at protecting himself when he goes out.

"This ointment of yours is indeed excellent. The combination of the two works surprisingly well. It will get twice the result with half the effort."
