The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

She is now a concubine.

She is also the emperor's most beloved concubine.

How dare he...

Jiang Lingyue glared at him fiercely with angry eyes.

Chen Ziyu was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "...not crazy."

He slowly withdrew his hand, which she had hurriedly shaken away, and spoke in a softer voice.

"Watch your step, don't fall."

"..." Jiang Lingyue was silent for a moment, turned around and looked behind her, and suddenly fell silent.

She had retreated to the steps.

If you miss a step... you'll probably fall badly.

"Even if it's well-intentioned, just give a reminder." She rubbed her wrist where he had held it, pursed her lips and said, "Master Chen, I hope you will be more careful in the future."

After saying that, she turned around and left without even bothering to look at his expression.

Feeling guilty?

some.

As for the rest?

From the day she decided to enter the palace, she knew that they were destined not to be together.

Thinking more now will only add to your troubles.

If that petty-minded Emperor knew...

Suddenly, Jiang Lingyue shuddered in shock.

She remembered that the emperor had said he would arrange a shadow guard for him.

He immediately looked up and around.

There are no towering trees, nor dense forests large enough to shelter people.

However, the Royal Shadow Guards came and went without a trace, and she definitely couldn't detect them.

...I don't know if it has been arranged yet.

I returned to the racecourse anxiously, and Jinyu and Jinshu were still sitting astride the horse.

Compared to their previous timidity, both of them now looked quite capable.

Jiang Lingyue glanced at the sun. It was still early, so she could run two more laps. She couldn't help but feel itchy and was about to get on the horse when she saw a group of people coming in from outside.

Several young men and women, dressed in gorgeous clothes, each with groups of servants following behind them, walked towards the horse farm.

Shen Congwen and two of his subordinates sent the Jiang father and son onto the carriage. When they turned back, they saw this and stretched out their arms to block it, whispering a warning.

"The Concubine is here. Please do not go any further, lest you offend her."

As soon as he finished speaking, the teenagers who were still chatting and laughing were suddenly startled.

Your Majesty has only recently ascended the throne, and there are not many concubines in the harem, and there is only one imperial concubine at the moment.

That is Concubine Chen, the most favored concubine in the harem.

...You are indeed a noble person.

Several people suddenly wanted to retreat.

At this time, the girl in the crowd stepped forward and said softly, "Since I have the honor of meeting the Empress, how can I not come forward to pay my respects? I am the daughter of the Minister of Personnel Cao family. Please let me know."

Shen Congwen thought about it for a moment, felt that it made sense, and raised his arm slightly.

The subordinates behind him immediately understood.

Soon, a guard came up to Jiang Lingyue and bowed, asking, "Your Majesty, the daughter of Minister Cao wishes to see you."

...Miss Cao?

Jiang Lingyue was startled and turned her head to look over there.

At a glance, he spotted the girl in blue and white riding clothes in the crowd.

Seeing her looking over, Cao Ningshuang curved her lips into a smile, lowered her head slightly, folded her hands at her waist, knelt respectfully, and bowed deeply.

The riding clothes, which should have been quite handsome, still looked graceful on her.

At first glance, she is obviously a girl carefully crafted by a wealthy family.

With red lips, white teeth, and picturesque eyes and eyebrows, she is a model of a noble lady.

This is the girl from the Cao family who entered the palace a year later.

She was initially named a beauty, and three years later she was promoted to the position of a third-rank noble concubine.

In addition to the bonus of her family background, it was also because she was indeed favored by His Majesty the Emperor.

She deserves the title of a favorite concubine.

Otherwise, there would be so many concubines from noble families in the palace who would still be suffering.

Jiang Lingyue retracted her gaze and said calmly, "Tell them that I like quietness and there's no need to come and see me."

After the message was passed on, the people over there did not dare to disturb them any further. They bowed again and left the racecourse.

After this disturbance, Jiang Lingyue's last bit of interest in playing was gone.

It was getting late, so she took the two maids back to the palace.

As the carriage passed by the martial arts arena, one could faintly hear the deafening shouts coming from the arena not far away.

——As expected, there is a ring match.

The world has been at peace for a long time, and in order to prevent these children of aristocratic families from becoming too soft-hearted in their wealth and luxury, Dahan is actually a very martial man.

This can be seen from Qi Junyi's riding and shooting skills.

If the emperor is like this, then the officials below him certainly cannot be just for show.

Even if you are a civil official, if you want to have a promising career, you must master the six arts of a gentleman.

After all, emperors of all dynasties would personally lead important officials to the Xijing hunting grounds in spring and autumn every year.

In addition, various government offices would often hold various boxing matches on their own, and sometimes the Emperor would come to watch in person if he was interested.

There is also a martial arts champion selection held every three years.

In times of peace and prosperity, even the lowest class of people have books to read.

No one doesn't want to be an official, and Dahan is not short of talented people.

There are many talented civil and military officials around the emperor. If they want to be reused, they either have to make a name for themselves in the arena or become famous among scholars and students.

These are all opportunities to show yourself in front of the emperor.

As long as the emperor remembers you, why worry about your future?

Especially since Qi Junyi likes to employ children from poor families, the only shortcut for the young men from aristocratic families to make a name for themselves is to go to these places.

A few days ago, Jiang Lingyue followed the Emperor to watch two boxing matches quietly. When she heard the familiar name in the shouting, she was startled.

His hands reacted faster than his brain and had already lifted the curtain.

Just then, I saw a stern-faced young man on the ring kicking his opponent to the ground.

The moves are fierce and merciless.

As if sensing something, those cold eyes looked straight over.

'Shua'.

Jiang Lingyue quickly lowered the curtain, leaned against the car wall and took a deep breath.

How did he get on the ring?

As a third-rank official, it would be considered a great honor for him to just sit and make a few comments, but he actually went up and started fighting with others.

Inside the carriage, Jin Yu and Jin Shu, who witnessed the whole process, looked at each other with distressed expressions.

"girl…"

"Ah..." Jiang Lingyue blinked, "What's wrong?"

Jin Yu said worriedly, "You look a little ugly."

"Really?" Jiang Lingyue took out the small mirror from the secret compartment and looked at herself, then said, "I'm fine. Maybe I'm just tired."

What could happen? She doesn't like Chen Ziwei.

…………

On the other side of the ring.

Chen Ziwei looked at the lowered curtain and was stunned for a moment.

In just a moment, the opponent swung a punch. He dodged sideways and raised his hand to block, but the fist hit his arm.

Chen Ziwei swallowed his groan and kicked again.

This time, he was kicked off the ring.

The winner was decided, and people immediately gathered around.

"Is the lord injured?"

"Oh no!" someone exclaimed, "The master's hand..."

"Alright," Chen Ziqi frowned at the noisy voices, "Everyone, be quiet."

Jiang Lingyue was naturally unaware of all this, as her carriage had already wobbled back to the palace.
