Zhang Xiaoying's days in the Eastern Palace were as calm as still water. Aside from being given a hard time by a few tutors at the beginning, after she had retorted, no one troubled her anymore.
This tranquility made people feel as if there were no more conflicts.
But Zhang Xiaoying knew that this was the calm before the storm; beneath the surface of the court, the undercurrents were already turbulent. They were just waiting for the opportunity to bring both Yu Yang and herself down.
Among these, there were not a few wen who criticized Zhang Xiaoying, saying she, a hen crowing at dawn, was disturbing the social order.
Zhang Xiaoying turned a deaf ear to all these voices.
She did not have time to pay attention to wen who were sour because they couldn't eat the grapes.
Being concerned about everything would only lead one to lose precious time.
Huo Guangzhi's illness needed to be treated as soon as possible.
