The annual Grand Xia Autumn Hunt had arrived. Qin Fang accompanied her out of the palace, and the man in black did not appear again. This made Feng Jingyi slightly relieved.

However, the imperial concubine Fu Jinhuang did not have to go and cheer the emperor up after the autumn hunt, so she started to play with him instead. Other than staying by the lotus pond to collect dew to wash her face, she also had to wipe the grounds of the imperial palace clean every day, or give her food for one or two days …

Feng Jingyi had already endured it. She knew that she still didn't have the ability to resist her, so these difficulties might be unbearable. However, compared to the sixteen years she and her brother had lived in the Southern Tang Cold Palace, these were nothing.

When she did not have the strength to kill her opponent, all she could do was endure and wait. Thus, when she was sixteen, she was able to defeat four royal uncles with great power in one fell swoop and let Feng Jing sit on the throne.

She didn't come to the imperial palace of the Da Xia Empire to compete with Fu Jinhuang. Her real enemies were the high and mighty Emperor of the Da Xia Empire, the person who once wanted her head at all costs. She had often wondered what kind of expression that person would have if he knew that the person he was plotting to kill was right under her nose.

Feng Jing Yi finished cleaning the floor, and every step he took was painful like a knife cutting through the skin. When he returned to the kitchen, it was already past time to eat, so he thought that he would need to worry about how he could solve the problem of eating by himself today.

"It looks like you've been busy all day. This is all given to you by the Empress. Eat it!" The head palace maid, Qiu Yue, said sinisterly as she raised the leftovers and steamed buns that the two palace maids brought over with a wave of her hand and placed them on the ground.

"Many thanks to the Empress, many thanks to Aunt Qiu Yue." Feng Jing Yi lowered his head and picked up the things on the ground with a grateful look.

"Quickly finish your food, go to the backyard and wash all the buckets of respect in the palace. The Empress loves cleanliness, and if anyone else is worried, I'll specifically instruct you to do it." Qiu Yue arrogantly snorted.

She did not hate this person, but since the Empress did not like this person, they could not allow her to live a comfortable life.

"Yes, I'll go after I finish eating." Feng Jing Yi lowered his head and replied.

Seeing her submissive attitude, Aunt Qiu Yue felt that there was no meaning, so she brought him away.

Feng Jing Yi washed her hands, then took the steamed bun to the courtyard to bask in the sun while peeling off the dirt covered steamed bun skin. This was her lunch today, although it was a bit dirty, but it was much better than the food she spoiled when she was young in the Southern Tang Palace.

Just as he was eating, someone walked over quietly. Feng Jing Yi raised his head in alarm and saw that it was Qin Xue, Qin Fang's foster sister from the palace. "Why are you here again?"

Qin Xue took off the cold steamed bun in her hand and handed over the box she had brought. "This is still warm for you to eat."

Feng Jing Yi knew that he couldn't refuse, so he could only take it, "If you run over, what will you do if Beauty Ning discovers you?"

"Beauty Ning went to enjoy the chrysanthemums with the empress, she won't be returning to the palace for a while." As Qin Xue spoke, she rolled up her pants legs and applied the medicine. "Miss Mo said that Sir Shangguan is also inquiring about your whereabouts. Why don't you think of a way to leave the palace?"

Feng Jingyi puckered his lips in pain. He was afraid that Master Shangguan didn't know that the person who died after dying in Jinling City was her daughter, and she, who had the status of an official above her, was the damned person.
