I'm a humble concubine. My acting skills are off the charts. You can check my performance.

But this idea is just a thought.

Zhao Fangyu felt a little numb when he thought of the Zhao Fangjin in the original novel who coveted the eldest prince and was killed in the Nine Clans Elimination Chamber.

There was no one in the hall. After drinking the boiled water, Zhao Fangyu limped back to his bedroom to rest.

Hongzhu finished her work in the Sutra Hall and came with medicine to rub the bruise on her knee.

Although he is small, he has great strength.

The bruises on Zhao Fangyu's white knees were like flowers blooming, with two large bruises blooming at the knees.

The smell of safflower oil slowly spread in the bedroom. Zhao Fangyu had an extraordinary sense of smell, and he felt dizzy when he smelled it.

Immersed in such a taste, the frown became even more unbearable. In the original novel, Zhang Yingying won the applause of the whole house with a song "Song of the Wine". Men, women and children all over the capital praised her. Even the backyard of Zhao family received a lot of praise.

Zhao Fangyu recalled the description of the heroine Zhang Yingying in the original novel, and could only judge that she had traveled through time and space, and the background was probably the 21st century, but she had a limited IQ, was not smart, had no ambition, and had a good hand but only knew how to use it to please men.

Probably the person who traveled through time wasn’t very old.

In the original novel, Zhang Yingying has many backers, and countless people worship her as a god because of her poems. The entire Daliang literary world regards her as a rare gem and a stunning talent.

Zhao Fangyu's eyes fell on the rising and falling of the tea leaves in the teacup, and his mind tried its best to recall everything about the novel.

An old-fashioned Mary Sue, basically all the men around Zhang Yingying love her, and the princes, whether adults or minors, all have a great affection for her.

But from Zhao Fangyu's understanding, this lost gem who was called a genius of the world was not worthy of the title. Instead, it was more like an ordinary person who suddenly traveled to a fictional dynasty that was many years behind her and had no record in history, but was extremely similar to it.

Zhang Yingying traveled through time and found that there were no Li Bai, Du Fu, or Bai Juyi here, but there were the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the An Lushan Rebellion, which were very similar to Chinese history...

Just by reciting a familiar poem, she could erase the hard work of countless people in studying day and night; just by moving her mouth, she could gain countless praises and admirations.

She has memories from the modern times, and she looks down upon everyone, even the emperor, with a judgemental gaze. She traveled to such a prosperous era, and what she was thinking about was how to use these memories and poems to help her find a better and more perfect husband, so that she could be pampered for the rest of her life...

She was not concerned about the future of this dynasty. If she paid attention, she would find that this dynasty was extremely similar to the Song Dynasty in history. She had never worried about the war that had not appeared in the original work, nor was she worried that there would be war in the place where she traveled to.

She doesn't care about the court, but about this country and the people here.

She does things based on her mood and is so willful that she disregards human life.

For example, Zhao Minshan in the original novel's Nine Clans Elimination Chamber, regardless of his character, judging from Zhao Fangyu's many years of experience in sorting out documents for him in his study, Zhao Minshan is extremely responsible and reliable in official business, and he does not embezzle money from it.

He had a lot of private treasury, but he also took the right path. He and other officials drove small boats and followed behind the large ships of the Maritime Customs to look for rare and exotic items and sell local specialties.

The type of person whose qualities are unknown, but who becomes stronger when faced with tougher tasks.

Such a worker with flawed character was ousted by several princes because of Zhang Yingying's disgust.

Zhao Fangyu even wanted to pry open the heads of a few princes to see what was inside. These princes looked like spies sent by the enemy country!

After analyzing over and over again, we only come to the conclusion that our Daliang seems to be doomed. The emperor is old and is about to die, and none of the young ones are smart. What the hell, it's all in vain!

Zhao Fangyu closed his eyes in anger and lay back. He seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud.

Hongzhu rubbed Zhao Fangyu's knees one by one, and praised Zhao Fangyu's good skin while rubbing. Zhao Fangyu was very confused and didn't say much. He took out a bottle of pearl cream from his box and gave it to her as a thank you for her help in applying the medicine today.

Hongzhu wanted to refuse, but Zhao Fangyu changed the subject and she forgot about it for a moment.

"Not long after Lord Pei left, Sister Lan Ye came and said that if Miss Runyi is free, she should go to Yanyun Palace at noon tomorrow. Lady Meng found a batch of new tea from the storehouse. Knowing that Sister Runyi is an expert on tea, she specially asked her to taste it."

Zhao Fangyu nodded and agreed, and Hongzhu happily went back with the new pearl cream.

Her colleague was on duty in the evening, so Zhao Fangyu washed up and went to rest. At noon the next day, Zhao Fangyu was supported by Hongzhu and sent to the vicinity of Yanyun Palace on time.

Lan Ye was already waiting at the door. When she saw that Zhao Fangyu now needed someone to support him when he walked, she immediately came over to take over.

"Miss Runyi is so badly injured? Should we find a doctor to see her? Otherwise, she will develop a chronic disease."

Zhao Fangyu's health had been bad since childhood, and later he worked too hard, which damaged his organs. He took some time to recuperate, but he still didn't fully recover. Now that he has entered the palace, he can no longer take good care of himself and stew medicine every day. He can only ask the imperial physician to make some pills with similar functions for him every month.

When Zhao Fangyu arrived, Meng Yanzhen was leaning lazily on the scented pillow of the beauty couch. On the left was a half-person-high carved incense table and a slightly taller sandalwood flower table, each of which contained a red-glazed incense burner in the shape of a Snow Girl and a bunch of beautiful peonies.

The beautiful peonies bloomed among the clouds and mist, making Meng Yan, who had a fresh peony pinned on her hair, look even more beautiful and charming.

Zhao Fangyu was led to sit opposite Meng Yanzhen. Lan Ye considerately brought up two cups of boiled water. Meng Yanzhen smiled when he saw the boiled water: "You were punished to kneel for two hours for a cup of boiled water. You really have been unlucky since you were a child."

Zhao Fangyu smiled bitterly and drank the boiled water gulp by gulp: "No one has come to the Sutra Library for eight hundred years. I have been too relaxed for too long and forgot that this is the imperial palace after all, and the rules are above people."

Meng Yanzhen nodded, his eyes slightly apologetic: "If it was just Zhang Yingying, it wouldn't be a big deal, but since she's accompanied by the eldest prince, it's not easy for me to show up."

Although the family asked Meng Yanzhen to take care of her in the palace, they could not stop the trouble that came to them. Moreover, the Meng family had intended to marry Meng Yanzhen to the eldest prince, and now she has become the eldest prince's concubine mother, so she naturally has to be careful to avoid suspicion.

Zhao Fangyu understood Meng Yanzhen's concerns, and Meng Yanzhen did not hide anything. After dismissing the servants, he said to Zhao Fangyu in detail: "This man is not a good person. I didn't know before that he even had his eyes on Ehuang and Nvying."

"He was sure that I was determined to enter the palace, so he wanted me to bewitch Jin'er to him. It was ridiculous."

Zhao Fangyu was shocked when she heard this. She knew that the eldest prince was not smart, but she never thought that he was so bold! Meng Yanzhen's words were like thunder, burning Zhao Fangyu's bones.

Seeing that Zhao Fangyu was also stunned, Meng Yanzhen continued, "He is shallow-minded, ambitious, and likes to be praised and admired by others. Unfortunately, he is also really stupid. That's why Your Majesty assigned the son of the commander-in-chief of the Southern Pacification Division to be his companion when he was young."

"But he ended up like that. Last year, the commander of the Southern Pacification Division was gone, and he simply kicked the orphan away. Even His Majesty was quite critical of this."

Zhao Fangyu knew that the unlucky guy who was kicked away was Pei Yan, and he couldn't help but sigh. They were good brothers who went in and out together, but he kicked the son away before the father's body was even cold. If such a person could become the crown prince, there was really no need to save Daliang. It would be better for everyone to clean up and bury them together.

Zhao Fangyu said nothing and listened quietly to Meng Yanzhen's description of the eldest prince.

"You helped Fang Jin stop him, so he must have hated you. Be careful about what you eat and do, when you walk, when you're on duty, and when you're off duty. Don't be alone, and don't eat unfamiliar food."

"You are born into an official family. He would not dare to kill you with poison or with a gun as he did with the palace maids and eunuchs. I think he would strike you on the road."

"You should be more careful in everything. It's better to offend a gentleman than a villain. If you run into a fool like this, you don't know what he can do."
