Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

They are all newcomers, why is it that only Rou Da Ying has a title?

They all came from good backgrounds, but in this respect, they were not as good as the daughter of a sixth-rank official. Of course they were not convinced.

It's no wonder that Concubine An dislikes Shen Zhinian. They are both charming types. Before Shen Zhinian entered the palace, her charm was unmatched in the harem.

But when she saw Shen Zhinian for the first time, Concubine An felt ashamed of herself.

Because compared to the other person's natural charm, which was mixed with a hint of purity, her charm was made to seem a little vulgar. How could Concubine An tolerate this?

Taking in the jealous looks of the crowd, Concubine An raised a slight arc at the corner of her lips and exclaimed, "Ms. Rou is indeed a natural beauty. Even a woman like me feels my bones soften when I see her. No wonder His Majesty looks at you differently!"

Shen Zhinian knew that Concubine An was deliberately trying to draw hatred from her. She lowered her head and pretended to be cautious.

"I am just a low-ranking concubine. Thanks to the emperor's grace, I have only been given an insignificant title. How can I compare with the beauties in the palace? Concubine An's words make me feel really terrified..."

When everyone saw Shen Zhinian's humble attitude and simple dress, the hostility in their eyes finally subsided a little.

Of course, the main reason is that even if she has a title, it is just a promise and cannot make any waves.

Concubine Liu valued the position of empress the most, so she naturally disdained to waste time on Shen Zhinian. In her opinion, a concubine without family background, no matter how charming she was, was at best a plaything that was not presentable.

Her eyes moved, and her smile fell on Jiang Wanning.

"Speaking of being favored by His Majesty, among all the sisters in the palace, who is as blessed as Concubine Jiang? Not only is she the Empress's biological sister, but she was also given the title of Concubine right after entering the palace. She will definitely be the apple of His Majesty's eye in the future."

"We old people in the palace are afraid that we will all become yesterday's flowers."

At the end of her words, Concubine Liu's tone was filled with an uncontrollable coldness.

In an instant, Jiang Wanning became the target of public criticism.

Not to mention the newcomers, even the high-ranking concubines regarded her as an enemy in their hearts.

After all, they have been serving His Majesty since the Qiandi Mansion. In terms of seniority, aren't they much more experienced than Jiang Wanning, a yellow-haired girl? Who would be willing to be inferior to her one day!

Jiang Wanning's family background gave her enough confidence. Facing Concubine Liu's provocation, she was not afraid, but raised her chin proudly.

"Since the Imperial Concubine knows that I am the Empress's biological sister, you should understand that since His Majesty loves the Empress as his legal wife, he will naturally love her as well and value me as well."

What this means is that no matter how favored Concubine Liu is, she is still just a concubine in front of Queen Jiang!

Concubine Liu's face suddenly turned gloomy!

Even Queen Jiang in the palace didn't dare to disrespect her like this. Jiang Wanning was just a noble lady, but she was really capable!

The smiles on the other concubines' faces also froze slightly.

Because not only Concubine Liu, they were also just concubines. Jiang Wanning's words were a satire on everyone.

The newlyweds were so frightened that they trembled and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Shen Zhinian, however, looked like he was enjoying the show. This Concubine Jiang was so brave!

Queen Jiang did not feel refreshed, but sighed secretly.

As soon as Wan Ning entered the palace, she offended all the concubines in the palace. Even with the support of the queen, she would be hard to defend against the open and hidden attacks.

After all, her scheming was still a little shallow.

If Jiang Wanning wasn't the only legitimate daughter who was of the right age, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would not have sent her into the palace.

Queen Jiang waved her hand tiredly and said, "I am not in good spirits, everyone please go away."

Everyone immediately stood up and saluted.

"I'm leaving now!"

As soon as I walked out of Kunning Palace, two new palace maids gathered together and whispered.

"It seems that the rumors are true. The Queen's health is indeed not good."

"You saw it too? After just a few moments of talking, the Queen couldn't hide the fatigue on her face anymore."

"So, the reason why the Duke of Zhenguo sent Concubine Jiang to the harem was really..."

Before the man could finish his words, Jiang Wanning stepped forward angrily and shouted, "How dare you! How dare you talk nonsense about the Queen!"

Although what they said were all true, Jiang Wanning also wanted to save her face and naturally would not allow anyone to openly state the purpose of her entering the palace.

The two maids were not as good as Jiang Wanning in terms of status and family background. They were caught red-handed and said in panic: "I didn't mean it. I just said something wrong. I hope Lady Jiang will forgive me..."

Jiang Wanning said coldly: "If I don't teach you a lesson today, you really don't take the Queen seriously. Kneel here for four hours!"

The two maids were both noble ladies from official families, with extremely delicate skin. Even after kneeling on the rough stone pavement for four hours, their knees were still broken. They immediately said with a pale face, "I really know I was wrong. I beg Lady Jiang to forgive me..."

Jiang Wanning had just entered the palace and intended to use these two people to establish her authority, so how could she let them go?

"You don't want me to accept my punishment. Do you want me to report this to the Queen and let her punish you?!"

The two attendants' faces turned pale instantly. They dared not resist anymore and knelt down obediently.

Jiang Wanning snorted coldly and left with the palace people satisfied.

Concubine Liu watched this scene from afar with a very unhappy expression.

"The Queen is seriously ill, and His Majesty has ordered me to help manage the six palaces. I don't even know when it will be the turn of a noble to punish the concubines in the harem!"

Her personal maid Cuizhu sneered, "Your Majesty, calm down! Concubine Jiang is just relying on her status as the Queen's sister to bully others. If you were to argue with her, wouldn't you lose your dignity?"

Even though Concubine Liu was unhappy, she understood that this was Kunning Palace after all, and it was those two who had discussed the promotion first. If she really made a fuss, it would not be good for her.

She snorted coldly, held Cuizhu's hand and turned away.

"Who are those two constants?"

Cuizhu said respectfully, "My Lady, the one in yellow is the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Li Changzai; the one in blue is the sister of the Junior Official of the Honglu Temple, Zhou Changzai."

Concubine Liu said nonchalantly, "Send the imperial physician to check on them later, and send something from the storehouse to comfort them, and tell them that I know they were wronged today."

Cuizhu understood that Concubine Liu wanted to use these two people to trip up Concubine Jiang.

"Yes!"

Naturally, what happened outside Kunning Palace could not be hidden from the Queen's eyes and ears.

Fang Hua, the head nanny, frowned and said worriedly, "Empress, Concubine Jiang is indeed a little too arrogant. If this continues, she will definitely suffer a great loss. Why don't you keep her here and give her some advice?"
