The naive concubine is only interested in being a bad person. Your Majesty, please change your favor
Chapter 9: Food Withheld
"Thank you, Sister Chen Fei, for speaking for me just now. Otherwise, I would have been punished with twenty strokes of the cane by the Queen Mother." Jiang Wange thanked Chen Fei sincerely.
Concubine Chen sighed helplessly, then looked at Jiang Wange and asked:
"You just deliberately angered the Queen Mother, didn't you? Just to wait for His Majesty to come and support you?"
When Jiang Wange heard what Chen Fei said, he just chuckled and did not directly admit it, but he did not deny it either:
"There are many sisters in the harem, and I think only Sister Chenfei is the smartest."
"In fact, before I met you today, I received an oral instruction from His Majesty, asking me to take better care of you. His Majesty really cares about you."
Jiang Wange was somewhat surprised when he heard what Concubine Chen said.
This dog emperor actually made arrangements in advance and found help?
But is he sure he wants his concubines in the harem to help another "favored" concubine? Isn't he afraid that she will get jealous and interfere?
"Don't worry, I won't be jealous of your majesty's favor towards you. Everyone in the harem knows that your majesty only has childhood friendship with me, and has never had any romantic feelings for me. I am the same way."
"If that's the case, why did Sister Chenfei want to enter the palace? You can be free outside the palace, why be trapped behind high walls?"
Jiang Wange had no choice but to enter the palace for the selection in order to repay her gratitude. If she had any choice, she would not have entered the palace and competed with so many women for a man.
"In order to repay your majesty's kindness, I voluntarily enter the palace and take part in the game."
Chen Fei didn't know why, but she felt very close to Jiang Wange when she saw her. She said to her those words that she had never mentioned to anyone else.
"I don't quite understand..."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will know it later. In the next few days, you should come to my palace on time, and we two sisters can sit and drink tea and chat. As for the rules, they are just for outsiders to see, don't take them seriously." Concubine Chen was in a good mood and patted Jiang Wange's hand.
Faced with the enthusiasm of Concubine Chen, Jiang Wange didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Is there really anyone in the harem who treats you sincerely?
Years of experience watching palace fighting dramas and novels about house fighting told her that there must be a trick! But no matter how she looked at it, the Concubine Chen did not seem like the kind of sinister and cunning person.
Just wait and see. If you really want to harm her, you will be exposed sooner or later.
Jiang Wange had lunch in the Chenfei Palace and then went back.
Unexpectedly, when she returned to Xianfu Palace, she saw Xiahou Xuan who had supported her this morning.
"I have seen your majesty."
Xiahou Xuan did not respond, but raised his hand to dismiss all the palace servants.
"Jiang Wange, you are very brave. There are so many concubines in the harem, and even the concubines Chen Fei and Shu Fei dare not contradict the empress dowager. Today, you went to Ci'an Palace to pay your respects to the empress dowager for the first time, and you offended her completely. How can you survive in the palace in the future?"
Xiahou Xuan glanced at Jiang Wange indifferently, waiting for her answer.
Jiang Wange looked up at him, then asked:
"Isn't this the result that Your Majesty wants to see? Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have been at odds for a long time, and I am against the Queen Mother. The more I contradict the Queen Mother, the happier Your Majesty will be, isn't it?"
"Guessing the Holy Mind? Who told you that the Queen Mother and I are not on good terms?" Xiahou Xuan asked back.
"Isn't it a well-known fact? On the day of the selection, in order to select concubines to enter the palace, His Majesty gave the right to select the remaining concubines to the Queen Mother. It was an obvious exchange of interests. If His Majesty and the Queen Mother had a harmonious relationship, there would be no need to go to this."
Jiang Wange analyzed the situation of the day very calmly, and did not notice that Xiahou Xuan's eyes were gradually becoming clearer, with a hint of appreciation in them.
"You are right. It seems that it was a wise choice for me to choose you as a chess piece. What else did you talk about in Chenfei Palace today?" Xiahou Xuan continued to ask.
"The concubine told me that Your Majesty and I only had a childhood friendship, and there is no love between men and women. I don't know if it's true or not, so please give me some advice, Your Majesty."
Jiang Wange really couldn't figure out Concubine Chen and didn't dare to trust her easily, so she chose to directly ask Xiahou Xuan for his opinion.
Hearing this, Xiahou Xuan curled his lips and smiled, "The only person you can trust in the harem is Qingyu. She has the same status as you."
Qingyu is the maiden name of Concubine Chen, her full name is Liu Qingyu.
Jiang Wange could tell from the way Xiahou Xuan addressed her that this Concubine Chen held a special position in His Majesty's heart.
"Now that Your Majesty has said so, I feel at ease to interact with the Concubine Chen. But didn't Your Majesty say this morning that I would wait until I learned the rules before serving Your Majesty? Why did Your Majesty turn around and come to Xianfu Palace?" Jiang Wange stared at Xiahou Xuan with amusement.
"I only said that I would wait until you learn the rules before continuing to sleep with me, but I never said that I would not come to see you. You are now my most beloved concubine. Isn't it reasonable for me to come and comfort you when you are being punished?"
Jiang Wange was unable to refute Xiahou Xuan's explanation.
"Did you roll your eyes at me?"
"No, Your Majesty, you are mistaken. How dare I do that?"
Xiahou Xuan swore that he was not mistaken, the woman just rolled her eyes at him!
"If your majesty has nothing else to do, please go back to Longyin Palace to review memorials. I am tired and need a nap."
"You either eat and sleep or sleep and eat all day long. Which woman in the harem is as lazy and unmotivated as you?"
"I have no ambitions. The only things on my mind are eating and sleeping. If I hadn't joined your majesty's pirate ship, I would have a very leisurely life now."
Jiang Wange walked straight to the bed without caring that Xiahou Xuan was still in the room, lay down on it, covered himself with the quilt and was about to fall asleep.
Xiahou Xuan was so angry that he laughed:
"Are you blaming me? If you didn't want to, you could have rejected me at the beginning. Why are you complaining about it now?"
"Your Majesty, did you give me a third choice? Either agree or die. I am most afraid of death. Your Majesty, please don't be so ungrateful. Your Majesty, take care. I will not see you off."
After saying that, Jiang Wange covered his head with the quilt and fell into a deep sleep without caring about anything.
Xiahou Xuan was so angry at Jiang Wange's attitude that he jumped up and down, but he had cooperated with her in the first place and now he couldn't sabotage her, so he could only swallow his anger alone!
It was dusk when Jiang Wange woke up from her nap. Her stomach was growling with hunger, but no maid came in to call her for dinner.
It's really strange. At this time on normal days, they should have come in and called me to get up, wash up and have dinner. Why am I still nowhere to see them today?
"Qianyue, Yujin, Yufeng——"
Jiang Wange called out to everyone one by one, and Qianyue then hurried in.
"What do you want, young master?"
"What about dinner? It's already so late, and dinner isn't ready yet?"
Eating is a top priority, how can it be delayed?
"My young master... Before His Majesty left, he specifically instructed that you are still under punishment, so you don't need to have dinner, and it is better for you to concentrate on self-cultivation..."
Qianyue looked embarrassed and said that it was not that she wanted to starve her master, but it was really an order from His Majesty, and they, as servants, dared not disobey!
When Jiang Wange heard this, he was shocked!
This dog emperor actually withheld her food! My uncle could tolerate it, but my aunt couldn't!
