I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

The emperor opened his mouth and released a huge bomb.

You have to know that the position of a concubine is definitely a high-level concubine, the kind that can be listed in the Jade Plate, and even if she dies, she will still be worshipped. Even if it is converted to the court, it can be compared to the wife of the prince of the palace. And this position has a certain number of positions. It has always been full before. It was only after the fall of Concubine Shu that a vacant concubine position was created for later candidates to compete for.

Ai Ziyi was a newly selected concubine who entered the palace and did not have much experience. Although she had been pregnant before, she was unable to give birth successfully and was unable to give birth to a son or daughter for the emperor.

Before her, there were Liangpin, Wanpin and others who had been in the position of concubine for many years. They served the emperor very dedicatedly, but were also suppressed and not promoted.

Ai Ziyi, a newly selected concubine entering the palace, had suddenly risen to a position above them. So how could they possibly remain submissive and humble?

When Ai Ziyi heard the emperor say this, she was happy at first, but soon turned to worry. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Ai Ziyi understood this. Or, even if she didn't understand it, a series of experiences after entering the palace would force her to understand this truth.

But she had no intention of stopping. This was a battle in which she would have to advance or retreat. She was ready to become a favored concubine hated by the Queen and all the concubines in the palace.

Being named a concubine not only consolidated her own position, but also consolidated the position of her family. Although General Ai was quite talented in fighting, he could not be said to be completely ignorant of political struggles. He could only be said to have a vague understanding of it. He always believed that whoever made more contributions would be more likely to be promoted. If he could not be promoted, it must be that there was a shameless villain behind him who was trying to harm him.

Ai Ziyi's original thoughts were not much different from her father's. When her mother was at home, she often sighed when she looked at the father and daughter, fearing that they would cause trouble one day and implicate the entire family.

After entering the palace, Ai Ziyi has learned so many lessons and should have made some progress. As long as she can gain the emperor's favor, she may be able to have another child in the future and use her influence in the harem to protect her father in the previous dynasty.

But she didn't expect that pie would really fall from the sky. Unfortunately, this pie was so big that it might choke her to death.

The queen wanted to object, but then she thought of her own negligence in this matter, so she quickly shut her mouth and dared not say anything more.

Arranging people to take care of the emperor was originally a very simple matter. In the past, the emperor would let whichever palace maid he liked serve him, and whichever eunuch he liked follow him. But arranging people to take care of an unconscious emperor was very difficult. After all, there were all kinds of people in the palace, and who knew who was assigned by which noble?

If the person chosen to serve the emperor was a spy sent by a prince, wouldn't that be a big deal? They didn't even need to do anything special. As long as they secretly made some small moves while taking care of the emperor, they would very likely kill the emperor and affect the fate of the entire country.

The queen naturally has trustworthy confidants around her, but at critical moments, she must use those people to suppress possible uncertainties in the palace. For example, Eunuch Lu, who has always been very favored by the emperor when he is awake, has no way to spare the time to send safe and reliable people to serve the emperor. She can only ask some strong and skilled guards to guard outside, let them monitor each other, check and balance each other, and avoid the tragic situation of criminals coming in.

The empress was not far from the emperor, but in order to avoid disturbing the emperor's rest, she had been resting in a side hall. When the imperial physician was treating the emperor, the empress was always present to ensure the emperor's safety as much as possible.

It was just a matter of a few less servants, which was not a big deal. If the emperor was sober, he would praise the queen for what she did.

But the problem is that the emperor is not fully awake now. Although he has woken up, he is still sick and his forehead is burning hot. The imperial physician has come several times and given him several doses of medicine, but it has not had any good effect.

When people have a high fever, they will inevitably be a little confused, their emotions will be more sensitive, and they will easily go to extremes. Little things that are just laughed off on weekdays may seem extremely important in the eyes of the emperor now.

It is precisely because of this that the Queen knew that the Emperor might not be willing to listen to her now, so she could only shut up and quietly step aside, waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.

The Queen Mother wanted to stop the Emperor from doing this. Ai Ziyi had not achieved any merit up to this point to be worthy of promotion to a concubine. She had already been promoted once when she lost her child. There was no reason to promote her again now. As for taking care of the Emperor, that was the duty of the concubines and was not something worthy of praise.

If the empress had not been so worried about these concubines, fearing that they would murder the emperor and commit treasonous acts such as usurping the throne, they should all have served the emperor.

Moreover, although Ai Ziyi took care of the emperor, she also ignored the queen's orders. If she continued to be encouraged like this, it would be very likely that the queen would lose face and would no longer be able to rule the palace.

The emperor did not value his queen that much, and the empress dowager was also dispensable to the queen, but they all needed to maintain the most important issue, which was the stability of the harem.

Today, Ai Ziyi dared to challenge the Queen's authority and won the Emperor's approval and was promoted. Then tomorrow there will definitely be more concubines who will throw the Queen's orders behind their backs in order to gain the Emperor's approval. If this continues, the Queen will no longer be able to manage the harem, and the impact will be enormous.

So the Queen Mother spoke up: "Your Majesty, you are confused. Although Lanpin loves you deeply, she has no merits to be made a concubine."

Everyone present fell silent, and all of a sudden they seemed very embarrassed. Logically speaking, the emperor's words were golden and had already been spoken, so they could not be taken back. However, this matter certainly could not set a precedent.

Liu Zhirou, who was eavesdropping openly using her ghostly five senses, also fell silent.

Is the Emperor such a person who is confused by emotions?

Is it really good for Ai Ziyi to be pushed out at this time and make her a target?

Did she really...never realize the inconvenience before?
