Chen Shuyi's face suddenly turned red.

She whispered, "This perfume... and this dress, are all... all sent here by my father. He said that he wanted me to take this opportunity to attract the emperor's attention."

Jiang Zhimiao coughed lightly and said, "Not bad... Not bad..."

"I did not report this to the Queen immediately. This is a crime of deception. I hope the Queen will punish me." Chen Shuyi wanted to kneel down again.

"Sit down!" Jiang Zhimiao shouted in time.

Chen Shuyi could only sit back down. She looked at Jiang Zhimiao eagerly: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no desire to compete for your favor."

Jiang Zhimiao was amused, and she couldn't help but say, "You are a concubine, what's wrong with competing for favor? How can I be such a jealous person?"

[However, Yue Lin's health is still problematic. I'm afraid there is no favor to fight for. I'll find a way to treat his health in the future, and then we can talk about other things.]

Jiang Zhimiao thought so.

There was still a strange feeling in my heart.

She came into this world.

I just want to live my life eating and waiting to die.

As for the emperor's love, she had never thought about it.

She is now the queen, and can help Yue Lin get rid of Yue Hua in the future. As long as Yue Lin is not a heartless person, he will at least have some respect for her.

A good boss will never fire his excellent employees for nothing!

As long as she can find the right position and deal with Long Aotian, her good days of living a life of idleness and waiting for death will be just around the corner.

After Yue Lin was cured, Jiang Zhimiao never thought of stopping him from favoring his harem.

I think so.

Jiang Zhimiao always felt a little uncomfortable, even a little uncomfortable.

It's not something else that makes me uncomfortable.

Instead, she felt that these sisters would be truly trapped within the palace walls, never to be freed forever.

She has already experienced her past life and just wants to lie down in peace.

How about them?

They are all so young and they are going to be trapped here, never able to get out.

The lives of these women take place within the walls of their homes and then within the walls of the palaces.

No one cares whether they are willing or not.

Chen Shuyi looked at Jiang Zhimiao and her heart softened.

Do not know why.

She looked at the Queen as if she was looking at a god on earth. The Queen had an indescribable compassion and tenderness towards everything in the world.

Chen Shuyi suddenly said boldly: "My lady, what if I don't want to?"

Unwilling?

What don't you want?

Jiang Zhimiao was stunned for a moment.

Chen Shuyi said softly: "I don't want to compete for favor. It would be best if I could be like Meng Cairen and Wan Baolin and never have to serve the emperor."

Meng Cairen and Wan Baolin? ?

Jiang Zhimiao was startled.

His eyes moved wildly between Chen Shuyi and An Zhaoyi.

An Zhaoyi panicked: "My queen, there is nothing wrong between me and Chen Shuyi!"

There is no such misunderstanding.

Chen Shuyi also reacted, and she quickly said: "An Zhaoyi and I are just good sisters."

Jiang Zhimiao nodded: "I know."

[Meng Cairen and Wan Baolin are also good sisters in front of outsiders. ]

Chen Shuyi & An Zhaoyi: "..."

They were speechless.

Chen Shuyi could only say directly: "Your Majesty, I have read the books of the previous dynasty and found that Emperor Lingdi once allowed concubines to leave the palace. If the time comes and I want to leave the palace to take care of my mother, I will set up a Buddhist temple at home and never marry. This way, I will not bring shame to the emperor."

This time, Chen Shuyi knelt down directly, and Jiang Zhimiao couldn't stop her.

Jiang Zhimiao looked at Chen Shuyi with a determined expression and felt a little dazed for a moment.

Chen Shuyi appears to be gentle on the surface, but in fact, she is the most determined one.

She didn't know why and wanted to leave the palace.

Is it for her seriously ill mother?

[Set up a Buddhist temple and never marry? Isn't this too sad? The emperor can even tolerate the affair between Meng Cairen and Wan Baolin. If Chen Shuyi insisted on leaving the palace, the emperor might not care so much. ]

There are also women in modern times who do not want to get married, and some of them live very well.

But I choose not to get married.

And must not marry.

These are two concepts.

Jiang Zhimiao suddenly felt a headache.

[Why is the emperor's harem different from what is shown on TV? Where is the jealousy and life-and-death struggle as promised? Why do these sisters now seem to dislike the emperor more than the other!]

Jiang Zhimiao felt a little sympathy for Yue Lin for a moment.

[Forget it, Chen Shuyi may not think so in the future even if she thinks so now. If the time comes, she will still insist, and I will think of a way for her then. We can't let such a beautiful girl live a secluded life after leaving the palace.]

"You get up." Jiang Zhimiao said slowly, "These words should end here with me. Don't talk about them in front of other people."

"I understand." Chen Shuyi looked at Jiang Zhimiao gratefully: "Your Majesty, I am willing to use my merits in exchange for the opportunity to be exiled."

This is the real purpose of her coming here today.

"Merit?" Jiang Zhimiao was a little puzzled.

Chen Shuyi gritted her teeth.

There was a hint of struggle in her eyes, and finally, it turned into determination.

"Your Majesty! I want to report my father, the Minister of Rites: Chen Jingming!" Chen Shuyi said in a loud voice.

An Zhaoyi also knelt down.

Jiang Zhimiao thought she had heard wrongly. She looked at Chen Shuyi in shock and asked, "Report Chen Jingming?"

Chen Jingming would have to be eliminated sooner or later. Jiang Zhimiao's biggest worry before was that Chen Shuyi would be sad by then.

But now.

The emperor has not taken any action against Chen Jingming yet.

Chen Shuyi actually looks like she is willing to sacrifice her own relatives for the sake of justice!

"Yes. I report that Chen Jingming has no moral integrity and behaves differently in public and behind people. He is not fit to be a role model for an official!" Chen Shuyi said seriously, "When I was young, I admired my father very much and always paid attention to learning from his every move. I found that my father would always go out for a few days every month. I just thought that my father was busy with official business, so I respected him even more."

Chen Shuyi paused, and recalled, "Once, my grandmother celebrated her birthday, and many ladies came to the banquet. I accidentally saw my father arguing with a lady, and my father also saw me and used words to evade the matter. I still had some doubts in my heart. Afterwards, I observed my father's actions, but did not find too many clues, so I just thought I was suspicious."

"But recently, I have been thinking back on the past, and the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong, so I asked An Zhaoyi's father to help investigate a few places."

An Zhaoyi took over the conversation and said, "My father is a nobody. People laugh and call him General An to his face, but most of them laugh at him in private, saying he is a playboy who will squander all his wealth sooner or later. The only good thing about my father is that he has a wide range of friends in the capital, and he can talk to everyone. I asked my father for help, and he secretly investigated. As a result, he really found out some interesting things."
