“Sister, you have to think of a way to help me get back at her.”
“How do you want to do that?”
“Anthing, I’m not having a good time, so she can forget about being comfortable.” Zhou Jiaqing became listless when she said this. She told her sister how she tried to send a spy into the Gu Residence but was rejected by Zhou Ying at a glance.
Zhou Jiaying smiled and said, “You know how to use your brain but are still immature.
“So what if a servant girl successfully entered the Gu Residence and climbed into Gu Chengrui’s bed?
“She was just a servant girl. At most, she would cause some trouble for her. If Zhou Ying wanted to get rid of her, it would be easy.”
“Then what should we do?”
“If I remember correctly, they have been married for more than three years, but there has been no news of Zhou Ying’s pregnancy.”
“Right, I only noticed after you brought it up.” Zhou Jiaqing’s eyes lit up. “It’s true. You got married a year later than her and already have a child, but there’s no news of her pregnancy.”
“Don’t worry about this. I’ll help you vent your anger later.”
“How?”
“Secrets cannot be revealed.” Zhou Jiaying said with a stern face.
She knew Zhou Jiaqing was simply unable to hide a secret. If she leaked it, wouldn’t her plans fail before she could implement them?
“I…” Zhou Jiaqing still wanted to say something, but Mother Zhou walked over and said, “Your sister has just given birth and is tired. You’d better not bother her too much.”
She looked at Zhou Jiaying and added, “Your dad asked me to bring two herbal recipes over, and I gave them to Mrs. Yu. Take good care of yourself. We will come to see you in two days.”
After saying that, Mother Zhou pulled Zhou Jiaqing up. “Hurry up, let’s go. Let your sister have a good rest.”
After saying that, she greeted Mrs. Yu goodbye as Mrs. Yu sent them out.
When Mrs. Yu returned, she saw Zhou Jiaying still had her eyes wide open, so she asked, “Madam, do you want to eat something?”
“There’s no need. Hasn’t His Highness been here yet?”
“No, after His Highness left the morning court, he hasn’t returned. I think something happened.”
“I see.” Zhou Jiaying responded and closed her eyes.
However, she felt a little uneasy.
Ever since she deliberately fainted on the street, the number of times she saw His Highness could be counted on one hand.
She didn’t know if he was deliberately hiding from her or if he was really busy.
Also, the princess consort would be married into the family after the new year, so Zhou Jiaying did not have much time left. Thus, she had to regain her husband’s favor quickly. Otherwise, she and her daughter would not have an easy time in the future.
Zhou Ying stayed at the manor for more than ten days. Just as the First Prince and Yang Wanyu were about to get married, the three finally returned to the capital with a cart of vegetables. There were bunches of rapeseed, spinach, and cabbage.
After entering the capital, Gu Chengrui brought a basket of each into the palace.
Zhou Ying distributed the rest to Zhou Huaiming, King Rui, King An, and the Minister of Works.
Later, she returned to her residence with Gu Wanning.
On the other end, when the Emperor found out that Gu Chengrui had come with vegetables, he immediately summoned him to his chambers.
When he saw the green and juicy vegetables, he asked in surprise, “Are these really grown in the greenhouse?”
“Of course. I just harvested them before returning to the capital, so they’re still fresh. This is my reason for my visit.” Gu Chengrui said.
“Good, good, good. The greenhouse vegetables are successful. In the future, our winter days will be much better.” The Emperor nodded repeatedly.
He thought of something and asked, “Can you only grow these leafy vegetables?”
“No. But leafy vegetables have a short growing period, so they can be eaten in about a month..”
