"Then you might as well just kill me now," Li Renhuai roared, his face red and neck flushed. "Now that something's happened, you're blaming it all on me. Don't you remember that when I first came up with that idea, you agreed with it too?"

"You still have the nerve to call me stupid? Even if I am stupid, it's because I inherited it from you. If it weren't for your good-for-nothing nature, our Ningxin Marquis's Mansion wouldn't have started to decline as soon as my grandfather passed away, and would be nothing but a title."

"You...you..." Father Li looked like he was about to faint from anger, which terrified Mother Li.

"Lord, what's wrong with you! Don't scare me!" Madam Li hurriedly stepped forward to help her husband, then turned to her son and said, "Renhuai, are you trying to anger your father to death? Quickly apologize to him, didn't you see how angry you've made him?"

Li Renhuai was in a fit of anger and had no intention of apologizing. He simply flicked his sleeve and turned to walk outside.

“This…this unfilial son…this unfilial son…” Father Li was so angry that he fainted.

Meanwhile, inside the palace...

Consort Yu was so angry she was almost going crazy. She smashed things in her own palace, giving the other concubines in the harem plenty of a laugh.

Three days passed in a flash, and Jiang Chunxi entered the palace amidst the reluctance of her family.

On the night of his arrival at the palace, the emperor went to Minghua Palace, where Jiang Chunxi was staying.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully wish you good health." Jiang Chunxi knelt down and bowed to the Emperor.

"My beloved consort, please rise," the Emperor said, personally helping Jiang Chunxi up. "Why are your hands so cold? You don't need to wait for me outside anymore. Otherwise, if you catch a cold, I won't be able to explain it to Grand Tutor Jiang."

"Your Majesty, I will obey your every command." Jiang Chunxi glanced shyly at the Emperor, then immediately lowered her head again, and her shy demeanor naturally pleased the Emperor.

The original owner was certainly good-looking; while not stunningly beautiful, she was certainly charming and lovely.

Jiang Chunxi did not change the original owner's appearance, but only modified her figure. After all, for men, a well-proportioned figure is more attractive than a stunningly beautiful face, especially for a man like the emperor.

As the emperor, who ruled a country, what kind of beauties hadn't he seen? In the harem, a place teeming with beauties, physical beauty was the least important thing.

As expected, Jiang Chunxi's altered figure caused the emperor to lose control, and he cried for water three times before letting Jiang Chunxi go.

The Emperor hadn't enjoyed himself this much in a long time. He was already thirty years old and long past the impulsive period of a young boy, but tonight, Jiang Chunxi's alluring body allowed him to experience that youthful vigor again.

So the next morning, the emperor left Minghua Palace with a very satisfied expression to attend the morning court session.

Jiang Chunxi was woken up by Xia Wu half an hour after the Emperor left.

After being granted the title of concubine and entering the palace, Jiang Chunxi was not only allowed to bring two personal maids with her, but also her dowry.

When Jiang Chunxi arrived at the Empress's palace to pay her respects, all the concubines in the harem had already arrived, numbering over forty. Some of the lower-ranking concubines could only stand outside the palace, as there were simply too many people for the Empress's palace to accommodate so many seats.

"Oh! Consort Shu has arrived," Consort Rou said sarcastically as soon as Jiang Chunxi entered. "No wonder the Emperor bestowed upon her the title of Consort Shu and brought her into the palace. Consort Shu is indeed extraordinary."

Jiang Chunxi sat down in her seat, then looked at Consort Rou and said, "This younger sister is..."
