The naive concubine is only interested in being a bad person. Your Majesty, please change your favor

"Your servant Yu Jin (Yu Feng) greets Lady Jiang——"

"No need to be so polite. This is Qianyue, who came to the palace with me to serve. In the future, the three of you just need to get along well with each other and serve me well."

Jiang Wange pointed at Qianyue indifferently and gave her a few suggestions.

"Yes, I know. I will definitely learn from Sister Qianyue how to serve the young lady." Yu Jin was a smart person. She said this immediately after hearing Jiang Wange's words.

Yu Feng on the side remained silent and just nodded in response to what Jiang Wange had just said.

"Thank you, Eunuch Hai. Please thank His Majesty on my behalf. I will personally thank His Majesty later." Jiang Wange looked at Hai Dezi with a smile.

"Your Excellency is too kind. I have already delivered the order and the people, and will return to report first."

Jiang Wange nodded and watched Haidezi leave.

After Haidezi left, Jiang Wange carefully looked at the two palace maids who had just been sent here.

"Which palace did you serve in before?" Jiang Wange raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them.

"My dear, Yufeng and I used to serve His Majesty."

"Oh? Then do you have any complaints about being assigned to serve this noble? After all, serving His Majesty will give you more opportunities to climb the ladder."

Jiang Wan Ge propped her chin on her palm and spoke casually, but her eyes never left them.

"My lady, why do you say that? Yufeng and I are both honest people. We have never thought of marrying up to someone powerful. It doesn't matter where we serve. My lady, you are worrying too much. In the future, Yufeng and I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation—"

Yu Jin spoke with such confidence that it made Jiang Wange laugh.

"Alright, I'm just teasing you guys, don't take it too seriously. Qianyue, take them both down and settle them down."

"Yes, I'll take my leave——"

After Qianyue and the others left, Jiang Wange's lazy look slowly faded, revealing an unspeakable worry.

It seems that the dog emperor still doesn't trust me and has specially placed two spies around me?

But it’s okay. It’s not a big deal to order the people around the Dog Emperor around. They may be of other uses at critical moments.

In Longyin Palace——

After Hai Dezi came back to report, Xiahou Xuan was waiting for Jiang Wange to come in person to express his gratitude.

According to palace rules, if you accept a reward from the emperor, empress or queen mother, you must go to their bedroom to express your gratitude on the same day.

"Haidzi, are you sure Jiang Wange said that he would come in person to express his gratitude?"

"Your Majesty, Lady Jiang did say that..."

"Oh, it's almost time for dinner. Has she gone to the horizon to express her gratitude? I gave her some face, but she started to take advantage of it and became arrogant." Xiahou Xuan said with a grim face.

"This... Your Majesty, maybe Concubine Jiang was delayed by something? Besides, Concubine Jiang is now a [favored concubine], so it's okay to pamper her a little. Isn't that exactly what Your Majesty wants?" Haidezi whispered to comfort her.

When Xiahou Xuan heard Haidezi's words, he was so angry that he had no place to vent. He thought that he would settle the score with Jiang Wange when she came to thank him.

When Haidezi saw His Majesty's gloomy face, she hoped that Concubine Jiang would come to express her gratitude as soon as possible. How could she control His Majesty's temper?

As Haidezi was still muttering, Jiang Wange brought Qianyue forward to express his gratitude.

Haidezi immediately asked the eunuch to invite the person in.

"Oh, Concubine Jiang, you are finally here. His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. You must comfort her well later, otherwise His Majesty will get angry, which is not something you and I can handle."

Before Jiang Wange went in to express his gratitude, Haidezi gave Jiang Wange a few words of advice, hoping that Jiang Wange would be careful.

After hearing this, Jiang Wange smiled calmly, as if everything was under his control.

"Thank you, Eunuch Hai, for your advice. I know what's going on. I'd like to trouble you to take care of Qianyue."

After saying that, Jiang Wange walked straight in.

Xiahou Xuan sat in a high seat, glaring at Jiang Wange who had walked in, and said in a neutral tone:

"What wind brought Concubine Jiang here? My Longyin Palace is too small to accommodate Concubine Jiang's huge Buddha statue."

"Before your majesty gets angry, could you please listen to my explanation?"

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain. If you can't explain well, watch out for your head."

It was the first time that Xiahou Xuan was treated so coldly by someone, and he was not in a good mood at all.

"Didn't Your Majesty say that I should be the target of public criticism in the harem? Then Your Majesty should give me this unique favor. It's too late to thank you. Your Majesty should not only not blame me, but should favor me even more, so that you can hide your true intentions."

Xiahou Xuan listened to Jiang Wange's high-sounding words and thought about the truth of her words:

Why do I always feel like she is deceiving me?

"According to what you said, I will have to give you some more rewards when you leave later?"

"I was just offering a suggestion just now. It doesn't matter if Your Majesty doesn't accept it. Anyway, I guess the people in the harem already know that I neglected to express my gratitude. My goal has been achieved, so it's not that important whether Your Majesty wants to reward me again or not." Jiang Wange looked very indifferent.

Xiahou Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked her up and down:

"Why do I feel that you have suddenly become more eloquent? Could it be that you were just pretending to be me before?"

"That's not true. I am only doing this because of the pressure of your cooperation with me. Otherwise, with my personality, I would not know who would kill me one day." Jiang Wange said with a self-deprecating smile.

"Humph, I won't bother with you this time, Hyde--"

"The slave is here."

"Take out the finest golden peony hairpin from my private storehouse and let Concubine Jiang take it away."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Jiang Wange bowed his head and gave a sly smile where Xiahou Xuan couldn't see.

In fact, there was no need for so many schemes and excuses. She was just feeling lazy in the afternoon, took a nap on the couch, and then accidentally overslept.

The reasons she just told Xiahou Xuan were all improvised on the way here, just to prevent Xiahou Xuan from blaming her.

Qianyue was waiting outside cautiously, and was shocked to see that her young lady was not only not punished, but was rewarded instead, with a very happy face.

When the master and servant were quite far away from Longyin Palace, Qianyue boldly asked:

"My dear, you are really amazing. His Majesty really didn't blame you and gave you a reward. This favor is the first of its kind!"

"Silly girl, do you really think that His Majesty's favor to me is a good thing?"

Jiang Wange looked at the innocent Qianyue helplessly, laughing at her naivety.

"Can being favored be a bad thing? My dear, are you overthinking?"

Qianyue asked back in great confusion, now that she had entered the palace, it would naturally be much better to be favored than to be out of favor.

Jiang Wange didn't argue with Qianyue any more. Whether it was good or bad would soon become clear.
