Quickly wear the boss and don’t be cannon fodder

Baihe entered the palace this time, expecting to be made a concubine, but instead she was made a noble consort.

This was a wonderful surprise.

Zhao Ling said to her, "The Empress has to manage the harem. You like to be free and unrestrained. I don't want to restrict you. The harem also needs someone to manage it. The only thing I can give you is the title of Consort. I just hope you understand that in my heart you are the woman I love the most. I will not let you suffer any grievances."

Baihe was pleasantly surprised to be granted the title of Imperial Concubine. She said calmly, "I have no interest in what title I'm given. If it weren't for my feelings for you, do you think I would want to stay in this palace?"

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry you had to suffer. I'll be better to you from now on."

From then on, Lily would leave the palace every now and then to provide free medical care for the villagers in the vicinity.

She didn't learn needlework or embroidery in the palace, but focused on learning medical skills from the imperial physicians. She also rarely attended the various flower-viewing banquets of the concubines in the harem, at most attending important banquets organized by the Empress out of respect for her.

In the palace, Baihe is portrayed as a gentle and refined person, while outside, she is also portrayed as a kind-hearted and compassionate bodhisattva.

Although this wasn't her true nature, she pretended for so long that she came to be.

Everyone says she is a kind and compassionate living bodhisattva who doesn't compete or fight for anything. Only she knows in her heart that she is simply following the path that Miss Su has planned for her.

She didn't have to worry about anything along the way; someone would clear all obstacles for her.

In the harem, she didn't have to fight for anything, yet she enjoyed unique treatment.

She has love, freedom, and a noble status. Who could live a more comfortable life than her?

Meanwhile, Zhang Qianqian, who was in the cold palace, was driven mad with jealousy every time she heard others doting on Baihe. She didn't know why, after being reborn, her life was not as good as her previous one.

If she had never experienced being the only one doted on, she might not be so resentful, but the fact that she had once gained and then lost it is what makes it the hardest for her to accept.

She thought that she had been reborn and had the upper hand, so she could live a smooth life. Who knew that a lesbian would suddenly appear out of nowhere!

Zhang Qianqian spent her days in the cold palace clamoring to see the emperor, but all she received in return were the sarcastic remarks of the palace maids and eunuchs, as well as the opportunistic attacks from her former rivals. She did not receive any change of heart from the emperor.

Zhang Qianqian and despair, why did this life turn out like this?

One night, she had a dream in which Su Yan was forced to marry the widower Wu Gui and was beaten to death because of her.

With the emperor's protection in the harem, she overcame all obstacles and eventually ascended to the throne of empress.

She gave birth to twins for the emperor, a boy and a girl, who were both adorable and intelligent.

His son was even named Crown Prince and received the emperor's careful cultivation.

The emperor dismissed his entire harem for her, and she became the envy of everyone.

The emperor passed away before her, and she became the Empress Dowager. Her son respected and loved her, and her daughter often returned to the palace to visit her.

In her dream, her life was perfect, and she became the most honorable woman in the world.

But when you wake up, reality is completely opposite to the dream.

If only dreams were real, how wonderful that would be. My life in the first half was exactly the same as in my dreams, so why did it turn out like this?

After much thought, the difference between reality and dreams began when Su Yan did not marry into Wu Gui's family.

In the dream, the emperor and she traveled incognito without encountering any assassins. Why then are there assassins in reality?

What a coincidence! The emperor was injured and then encountered a female physician. This physician was not only beautiful but also kind-hearted.

I always felt that this female physician was tailor-made for the emperor, waiting there specifically for him.

Zhang Qianqian was truly unwilling to accept that a woman who was even less competitive than her had received all of the emperor's favor.

"Cough cough cough...cough cough cough...I want to see the Emperor, I want to see the Emperor..."

Nobody wanted to talk to her. They just gave her leftovers every day, enough to keep her from starving.

Zhang Qianqian lay on the bed, her eyes filled with resentment and regret. Why was she still destined for a tragic end in this life?

If she could be reborn, she would definitely never let the emperor travel incognito again.

"Cough cough...cough cough..."

Just as she was filled with regret and despair, the door to the room was pushed open.

Against the light, a slender figure walked towards her. She couldn't see the person's face, but the figure felt strangely familiar.

When the person stood in front of her, she looked up at him and when she saw his face clearly, she was so frightened that she took half her body back.

"It's you! What brings you here?"

The newcomer was Su Yan. She stared at Zhang Qianqian with a grin and said in a very irritating way, "You think you can steal my favor just because you've been reborn? Little do you know, I don't care about being an emperor's woman. I'm tired of the life without freedom in the palace and just want to live the life I want. You didn't have to go through all this trouble, but you came to provoke me. With just a little effort, I'll leave you with nothing."

"It was you. So it was you who did all of this."

"Yeah, you can be reborn, so why can't I? Do you think you're the only special one?"

Su Yan's words were undoubtedly a blow to Zhang Qianqian's spirit, leaving her feeling ashamed, angry, resentful, and hateful!

I'm going to kill you!

"As a discarded woman in the cold palace, no one would care if you died now. You've been reborn and are doing so poorly. I really feel sorry for you. What's so good about men? You can take your money, go out and set up your own household, and live a carefree life without having to worry about other people's opinions. Isn't that better?"

When palace maids reached retirement age and left the palace, they would receive at most one or two taels of silver as a severance payment. However, when imperial concubines were released from the palace, as long as they did not squander their wealth, their severance payment would be enough to ensure they could live a life of comfort and ease.

In addition, the emperor felt guilty towards his concubines, so he gave them generous severance pay. Those with official rank received at least a thousand taels of silver, and the higher the rank, the higher the severance pay.

In addition, she wouldn't take back the rewards she had received before. All these things added up, plus her status as the emperor's woman, she could definitely live a good life for the rest of her days.

"What do you know? Now that you've been reborn, you know what kind of life I lived in my previous life. Leaving the palace would only lead to my death."

"No, that's all the result of your own indulgence. You've been reborn and seen the true colors of your family. You could have simply disowned them, not returned to the Zhang family, and taken charge of your own finances. But you insisted on harming innocent people, thinking that what you took from others would become yours. Little did you know that what isn't yours will never be yours. Even without me, there's still Baihe. She's much more favored now than I was back then."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qianqian was furious.

Su Yan's words made her feel that her rebirth was a joke.

"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in such a miserable state. You let Lily take everything away from me."

“If you hadn’t attacked me, you could have gotten everything you wanted. I would have left the palace and lived my own life. But you insisted on doing the unnecessary thing. Every cause has its effect, and this is all your own fault.”
