Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

"This is Consort Rou," a palace maid in the Empress's palace answered Jiang Chunxi's question.

"So it's Consort Rou," Jiang Chunxi said with a smile. "I am indeed extraordinary, as my family background speaks for itself."

"It's quite surprising that Consort Shu is so flamboyant!" This was the voice of Consort Yang, who was the Empress Dowager's niece. "But before Consort Shu becomes so flamboyant, shouldn't she think about the stain on her reputation? After all, none of the sisters present entered the palace with such a tarnished reputation as Consort Shu."

"Who is this...?" Jiang Chunxi looked at Consort Yang with a puzzled expression.

"This is the Imperial Concubine." It was the same palace maid who had just answered.

"So it's Your Highness the Imperial Concubine," Jiang Chunxi bowed slightly to the Imperial Concubine, expressing her respect for the superior. "Your Majesty, I am indeed unlike the other sisters present. After all, none of the sisters here are as unlucky as I am, are they?"

"The engagement we made since childhood was betrayed on our wedding day. It's only because I'm not completely out of my mind that I was betrayed, otherwise I probably would have been utterly crushed, leaving not even a bone fragment behind." Then Jiang Chunxi looked at Consort Yu and said, "Consort Yu, do you think I'm right?"

"Your brother, that despicable and shameless scoundrel, not only had an affair with his own cousin, but he also had the audacity to scheme against the daughter of the Minister of Revenue to become his concubine. To be honest, I still can't understand where your brother got the confidence to think that I could be manipulated by him."

"Tsk tsk! I really don't know whether to say he's overconfident or that he's lost his mind."

"hehe!"

Jiang Chunxi's words made everyone present chuckle.

More than laughing at Jiang Chunxi, they despised the Ningxin Earl's family's despicable scheming. Who would believe that the Ningxin Earl and his wife were unaware of that scheme?

So what do you mean? Has the entire Ningxin Marquis family lost their minds? Do they think that the young lady raised by the Grand Tutor's family is all brawn and no brains, and that they can be easily schemed against?

Consort Yu's expression was very unpleasant, but she forced a smile and looked at Jiang Chunxi, saying, "Sister Jiang, I apologize to you on behalf of my brother."

"Is Consort Yu's so-called apology just empty words?" Jiang Chunxi looked at Consort Yu with a mocking expression. "If that's the case, then your apology is far from sincere."

"The Empress is here."

Just as Jiang Chunxi finished speaking, the Empress came out.

"I send my regards to the Queen."

"Concubine, please give your regards to the Queen."

Everyone rose and bowed to the Empress.

"Rise, all of you!" the Empress said in a cold voice.

After everyone got up and sat down, Jiang Chunxi performed a grand kowtow to the Empress alone, a ritual that every concubine had to perform after serving the Empress.

As was customary, the Empress told Jiang Chunxi to serve the Emperor well and to have many children before letting her get up, without making things difficult for her.

After Jiang Chunxi took her seat, the Empress, as usual, said some polite words and then dismissed everyone.

As Jiang Chunxi emerged from the Empress's palace, Consort Yu followed closely behind her like a little tail.

"Sister Jiang, are you taking your anger out on me too?" Consort Yu said with red eyes. "I really didn't know my brother would do such a bastard thing. You know, I've liked Sister Jiang the most since I was a child. I've been eagerly waiting for Sister Jiang to marry my brother and become my sister-in-law."
