Chapter 261 The elf made a secret move
"Really? Thank you, Princess, for making the decision for me."
Upon hearing this, Li Liangdi was surprised with tears in her eyes.
"Well, you are the only one in the entire Eastern Palace who understands respect and etiquette the best. Qiulan, give this golden hairpin of mine to Li Liangdi to calm her down."
"Yes, Crown Princess." The head palace maid Qiulan bowed and responded.
……

In a moment,
Li Liangdi came to the Zhaoling Palace in a huff, and then went back with a grin on her face and her teeth bared.
On the way, she stroked the brocade box containing the golden hairpin in her hand, feeling proud.
Turning around, he whispered to his personal maid,
"Be more careful and find out how the Crown Princess will help me vent my anger."
"Yes. I will go and keep an eye on it in a moment."
……
really,
By the evening, the retribution for Concubine Zhang and the other two going to Yi Qiu Courtyard without the Crown Princess's permission came.
The dinner of Concubine Zhang in Dongyuan consisted of only porridge and side dishes, without any meat or fish.
The standard of six small plates was reduced by three.
The maid who went to serve the food came back angrily, took out three plates from the food box, and complained,
"Concubine, look at this, what is going on? Isn't this clearly bullying?"
"what happened?"
"Concubine, just now when it was time for dinner, I ran to the kitchen.
Nanny Yun from the Crown Princess's courtyard was blocking the door to the big kitchen. When she saw that the senior palace maids from the East Garden and the South Garden had all arrived to get their dinner, she began to lecture them.
It is said that today Li Liangdi went to the Crown Princess's courtyard to complain, saying that you, Lu Liangyuan and the rich concubine isolated her.
At first, the Crown Princess didn't want to punish us, but she couldn't stand Li Liangdi crying and listing several examples.
She also emphasized that you took Lu Liangyuan and the others to Yi Qiuyuan this afternoon without bringing her along.
The Crown Princess was very angry when she heard this, and said that not inviting Li Liangdi would be destroying the unity of the sisters in the Eastern Palace.
From today on, let all of us in East Garden and South Garden reflect on ourselves for a month, cut our meals in half, and even stop eating meat."
After these words were spoken, several palace maids, both big and small, who were serving in the palace, began to feel indignant.
"What? How can the Crown Princess treat our Concubine like this?"
"Concubine, the Crown Princess didn't ask any questions or even listen to your explanation before concluding that it was our fault. This is too much."
Everyone was filled with indignation.
"Okay, no more words. What's going on in Yiqiuyuan?"
"My concubine, I don't know. There is a small kitchen in Yiqiu Courtyard, and no one went to the big kitchen today. Nanny Yun didn't mention it either."
*
Concubine Zhang tilted her head and looked in the direction of Yi Qiu Courtyard with an unknown smile on her face.
"What's so annoying about this? She just withheld our food. Her goal is not against us. Look! She hasn't used her trick yet!"
"Ah? Master, are you saying that the Crown Princess is targeting Yiqiu Courtyard? But they have a small kitchen in their courtyard? They don't lack food."
“Because of the small kitchen, our meals have been cut in half, so how can we not reduce the amount of fresh meat and vegetables we provide them with?
After all, the main cause of the discord among the women in the inner courtyard was caused by the two Fang Liangdi! "
"Ah? Hehehe... The Crown Princess is really ruthless. She doesn't even give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince any face."
"Concubine, then won't Concubine Fang go to the Empress to complain? Besides, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager all love these two children."
Zhang Yuying's maid was puzzled.
"You guys! After all these years, haven't you noticed the Queen's unlimited indulgence towards the Crown Princess? After all, they are her aunt and niece.
Let's just bear with it! We have one month, but the isolated Yi Qiuyuan will not last only one month.
Just wait and see! What tricks will she come up with in a month? ! Okay. You guys take tonight's meal and share it! I'm not hungry."
"Concubine, can you please have a bite?"
"No more eating. You don't have to follow me."
After Concubine Zhang finished speaking, she left the dining hall and walked towards the main house without stopping.
An old maid came out of the room and they entered the main house. She whispered,
"Miss, was it your plan to deliberately leave Li Liangdi behind today?"
"Hehehe... Nanny, you still understand me best."
"Look at what the young lady said, you are the lifeblood of the wet nurse!"
"Nanny, give me two of those golden shortbread cookies."
"Well, young lady, I will secretly ask someone to buy you some cakes tomorrow."
Concubine Zhang ate snacks and nodded.
Li Liangdi's maidservant poked her head out and found that the two courtyards in the East Palace that had been reprimanded were surprisingly quiet.

At night, everyone in Yi Qiu Courtyard had eaten their fill and went back to rest.
At midnight,
There was a sudden thunderclap in the sky, and then lightning and thunder outside the window became as bright as day.
The first thing the elf on the bed does is to check whether its owner and babies are awakened.
Seeing that the mother and her two children were still asleep, he knew that they were really exhausted, so he did not disturb them again.
There was another loud "click" and the elf heard Fang Qingge's mumbling.
"Is it thundering? Why didn't God strike Concubine Xiao down?"
"Master?" The elf thought Fang Qingge had woken up and called out softly twice.
Fang Qingge was sleeping very soundly, as if the words just now were not said by her.
There were several more thunder and lightning. The elf was afraid that the mother and her two children would be awakened, so he hurriedly took out the sound insulation cotton from the space and placed it around the bed curtain.
The elf couldn't fall asleep. Looking at the lightning flashing outside the window, it suddenly thought of its master's dream talk.
"Is it thundering? Why didn't God strike Concubine Xiao down?"
Oh my! The master has come up with a good idea! Hehehe... The master is really smart. He can think of an idea to punish Concubine Xiao even in his sleep.
The elf suddenly became excited, and it quickly flashed into the space with a smile on its face.

In space,
"Intelligent robot, we have a good idea for revenge."
The intelligent robot was in the process of automatically updating its system and could only simply respond,
"Space Elf, I'm updating the system!"
"Oh, I have to go out for a while. After you finish the update, protect the master well. I will be back soon."
The intelligent robot has so many questions to ask, but unfortunately it is almost in a half-dead state during the update.
I saw the elf putting on insulating clothing. After three layers of clothing, you can't tell that it is a kitten anymore.
Then the elf placed a coil of thin steel wire in its own little space.
There were also various things like grounding wires to attract lightning, and a bottle of water was installed at the end.
The elf patted his paws, feeling that everything was safe.
It then said to the intelligent robot,
"Don't worry, I'm leaving. This time I will teach Concubine Xiao a lesson without anyone noticing."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
The intelligent robot didn’t understand what it meant, but no matter how anxious it was, it could do nothing as the system was being updated!
