They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Jiang Wanyue's expression remained unchanged and she continued to light the candles.

The candlelight lit up, and the dim yellow light illuminated her face.

Beneath those slightly furrowed brows were a pair of calm eyes.

"My business has nothing to do with you."

She stood up, took the basin from the corner of the room, fetched some water, and went next door.

She wiped her body little by little with a towel, endured the coldness of the well water, changed into clean clothes, and then went back to the house.

Living in the same room was Qiu Ling, a maid who was sent from the Marquis of Gu'an's mansion.

Qiu Ling has always disliked her. The reason was, of course, that as soon as Jiang Wanyue arrived, she was called to the study by Prince Jing to serve, and Qiu Ling didn't even have the chance to see Prince Jing.

Qiu Ling pulled the corner of the quilt and looked at the traces of lovemaking faintly exposed on Jiang Wanyue's skin, with jealousy in her eyes.

Her eyes moved and she suddenly talked about the news she had heard today.

"I heard that the Lin family has chosen a daughter of the Wei family as the principal wife for Mr. Lin. The Wei family is a family of scholars, with three top scholars and several imperial tutors. The current Princess Qi is also the legitimate daughter of the Wei family. She is a real daughter of an aristocratic family, not the daughter of a criminal."

Jiang Wanyue turned her head suddenly, staring at her coldly with a pair of eyes.

"Instead of being a nagging old woman, you might as well think about how to arouse Prince Jing's interest. Gu'an Marquis's Mansion didn't send you here to sweep the yard and wash clothes."

"you!"

Qiu Ling slammed the bed, feeling ashamed and angry.

"Jiang Wanyue! Who do you think you are? You are nothing but a slut who relies on your body to get into bed! Bah! Do you really think you are still the rich lady you used to be? You are even lower than the prostitutes in that brothel! Prince Jing will soon get tired of you! After staying in the study for seven days, don't you still have to go back to the servants' room?"

Jiang Wanyue was too lazy to pay attention to her, so she simply went out and slept next door.

Next door is the storage room, which is filled with a lot of stuff, but at least there is a bed.

She was so tired that she fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow.

In her dream, she seemed to have returned to her previous life.

After the Jiang family was convicted, she was entrusted to Lin Shuyan by her mother.

However, time was tight at the time, so she could only enter the Lin family as a concubine.

Lin Shuyan was not bad to her, but he couldn't stay single forever. The woman he married later was the daughter of the Wei family, who was also the concubine sister of the Princess of Qi.

Wei has a shrewd personality and is not easy to get along with.

Jiang Wanyue kept enduring it.

She thought she would be able to see her family when the new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty. But she didn't expect that what she waited for three years was the news of her family's "accidental" death.

She investigated thoroughly and finally found out that it was the King of Qi who did it.

The King of Qi was worried that his grandfather would reveal his secret, so he secretly sent someone to set a fire, killing thirty-six members of the Jiang family.

King of Qi!

At the end of the dream, Jiang Wanyue woke up suddenly, sweating all over, and sat up quickly.

She gently stroked her pounding heart and gradually calmed down.

Whose concubine is she not a concubine?

Rather than being Lin Shuyan’s concubine, it is better to be the concubine with the highest status.

In his previous life, Prince Jing finally defeated the other princes, succeeded in his bid for the throne, and became the emperor.

Prince Jing and Prince Qi also have a "wife-stealing feud". Prince Jing and Wei Fuxue met first, but in the end, the imperial decree granted the marriage, but Wei Fuxue married Prince Qi.

Prince Jing and Prince Qi are mortal enemies, the kind that will fight to the death.

In his previous life, Prince Jing killed Prince Qi, and despite opposition from all the civil and military officials in the court, he forcibly took Prince Qi's wife into the palace, named her Consort Chen, and lived alone outside the harem, doting her extremely.

So, Jiang Wanyue used this secret and decided to imitate the Princess of Qi.

The two do not look alike. If one just imitates the appearance of Princess Qi, it would be tantamount to ugly woman imitating ugly woman.

Jiang Wanyue learned the temperament and preferences of the Princess of Qi.

In her previous life, she learned a lot about the preferences and habits of the Princess of Qi from Wei. It took her two months to learn to resemble her.

As soon as she entered the palace, she was noticed by Prince Jing and became one of the concubines in the backyard.

But for Jiang Wanyue, this is just the first step.

Not only did she have to be Prince Jing's concubine, she also had to be Prince Jing's most beloved concubine.

Before the Princess of Qi enters the palace, she must occupy a place next to Prince Jing so that Prince Jing can dispel his disgust for the Jiang family and save the Jiang family before Prince Qi takes action.

Although this path is difficult, it is the most likely way to succeed that Jiang Wanyue can think of.

It was beginning to get light outside, and the servants in the yard were busy.

Shouts, urgings, and curses echoed in the small servants' yard.

Jiang Wanyue rubbed his temples to dispel the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He thought about staggering the time and going to fetch water when there were not many people left.

She hadn't sat there for long when there was a knock on the door.

No, to be exact, it was the sound of someone knocking on the door.

It’s Qiu Ling.

"Jiang Wanyue! Come out and work! You are not in the study room now! Do you still want to stay in bed?"

Jiang Wanyue ignored her.

What a fool.

Qiu Ling continued to knock on the door, but after waiting for a long time Jiang Wanyue still didn't come out. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"Bitch! Do you really think you're the master?"

She kicked the door to vent her anger, then turned around and prepared to complain to the manager.

As soon as she reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw the housekeeper and several maids walking towards her. Her face lit up with joy and she hurried over.

"Mother Liang, you are here? Jiang Wanyue is lazy and refuses to work. They are all maids, but she is special. She has been in the mansion for so many days and has not done any work. Mother, you must punish her severely."

Mother Liang glanced at her with a strange expression.

Qiu Ling thought that Liang's mother was angry and felt proud.

Just then, the door opened and Jiang Wanyue walked out.
