The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth
Chapter 18 His Majesty the Emperor: I Will Give You Exclusive Favor
In short, on the third night after she was reborn, the two of them still slept in each other's arms.
In the eyes of others, it was five consecutive nights of favor.
Before this, the concubines in the palace could still comfort themselves that the emperor had been a vegetarian for three years during the three years of mourning, and now he had a new beauty, and they couldn't let her go because of the novelty, so they favored her a little.
After all, Jiang Lingyue was indeed good-looking. Even in the palace full of beauties, she was so attractive that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
But after this night, the excuse of it being a temporary novelty seemed a little pale.
If he really was greedy for a fresh body, why would he stay the whole night when the other person was unable to serve him?
Staying overnight was a break from the precedent in the harem over the years.
The Central Palace has no owner, and now the entire harem is made up of concubines. The emperor has never shown favoritism towards anyone, and has never stayed overnight in anyone's palace.
Not to mention she was a low-ranking concubine who was menstruating...
Such favor was too conspicuous for an emperor who never cared about visiting his concubines.
Jiang Lingyue herself thinks so too.
If she had the choice, she would not want such obvious favor.
If she wanted to live peacefully in the harem, she must not become the target of hatred among the concubines, especially when she was just a little Wanyi.
What she wants is to climb up step by step, and once she reaches a high position and has the strength to look down on her opponents, she will not be afraid of anything.
But she had no choice.
Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all the emperor's grace, and she can only bear it.
It has been confirmed that Qi Junyi was also reborn, and he felt guilty towards her and wanted to make it up to her, so she couldn't let him spoil his fun.
If the emperor really wants to promote someone, he will not allow others to interfere, and the same goes for the person involved.
Otherwise it would be ungrateful.
And those who don't know how to appreciate favors will get nothing good.
…………
As if to tell everyone how special the newly appointed Chen Wanyi was, the emperor came to Ning'an Palace every day in the following days without fail, and even came back to have dinner together.
Even if they couldn't sleep with each other, the two of them would still sleep in each other's arms until they had breakfast in the morning.
When he was too busy with government affairs to make it back for dinner, he sent someone to tell Jiang Lingyue not to wait for him.
It was as if all the concubines in the harem were just decorations, and they were a young couple living their own lives behind closed doors.
After a few days, not only the harem, but even the ministers of the previous dynasty had heard about it.
Finally, a favorite concubine appeared in the new emperor's harem.
The harem, which had been quiet for a long time, was finally becoming lively again.
This favorite concubine came from the Jiang family, so naturally Jiang's father and brothers received more attention in the court.
Jiang Lingyue's two elder brothers were happy to see their sister being favored, but Jiang's father was not entirely happy.
Because he knew that the eldest daughter was not actually close to her family.
If Your Majesty knew...
He felt a little uneasy in his heart, and this uneasiness finally came to fruition after his brother-in-law was punished by the emperor.
The Shen family had been officials for generations and was considered a prominent family in the capital. So when Shen married him, a widower with two sons and a daughter, as his second wife, Jiang Shao felt that he had wronged her and indulged her a little on weekdays.
Although they were not the original couple, they were well-known for their love in the capital. Shen had only given birth to one daughter over the years, and Jiang Shao doted on this delicate little girl like a treasure.
Although they are both daughters, the eldest daughter left by the former wife and the current favorite concubine in the palace, Jiang Lingyue, cannot be compared at all.
Shen's biological father was the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, and her two elder brothers, one was the vice minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the other was the prefect of Lucheng, both of whom were well-known figures.
Even in front of the emperor, it would be worthy of being called a figure.
Today in the court, Mr. Shen, who worked in the Ministry of Rites, was coldly questioned by the usually magnanimous emperor in front of all the officials because of a small mistake. He was really embarrassed.
There is no trivial matter in the court, the power of heaven is unpredictable, especially the emperor's attitude is the direction of the wind.
Moreover, their emperor never shows his emotions on his face, but if he shows any clues, his ministers will be eager to figure it out carefully.
The sudden attack sent a message to the ministers that the Shen family was in trouble.
If others still need to investigate what mistakes the Shen family has made, then the Jiang family doesn't need to waste time on it.
At this juncture, he must be venting his anger for his favorite concubine.
On that day, the Jiang family submitted a letter to the palace.
Of course, the post was immediately posted on Shaoguang Palace.
Concubine Hui was holding a beauty fan in her hand and waving it slowly. After listening to the report from the eunuch in charge, she thought for a moment and then gave instructions to the senior palace maid beside her.
"Go and ask Chen Wanyi to come over," she said with a half-smile on her face, "it just so happens that I'd like to talk to her for a while."
When Baoyue arrived, Jiang Lingyue had just woken up from a nap and was drinking a cup of milk slowly.
Compared to the time when the palace was moved, this time the Grand Palace Lady of Shaoguang Palace was obviously more respectful, and her etiquette was impeccable.
Jiang Lingyue said "no need to be polite" without any airs, and just asked people to prepare to chase him away.
It was early summer, and the weather was getting hotter day by day. It was afternoon now, and Ning'an Palace was not close to Shaoguang Palace. When Jiang Lingyue got out of the sedan chair, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her face.
When she reached the long palace steps, two eunuchs were already waiting there. They bowed to her when they saw her.
"Greetings, Chen Wanyi." They had no intention of leading the way, but only said respectfully, "Empress Hui is taking a nap. Please wait a moment, Chen Wanyi."
The sun was shining brightly, and the courtyard was empty, with not even a place to hide in the shade. Jiang Lingyue frowned, and Jinshu, who was following behind her, smiled and said, "Empress Hui sent someone to call our Empress over. I guess she gave instructions to the eunuch on how to behave before she retired?"
He called them over and then left them out in the hot sun. Isn't that intentional bullying?
But the two eunuchs also laughed and said, "Empress Hui is in charge of the six palaces. She has a lot of trivial matters every day. She won't be able to explain all the minor details."
"How dare you!" Jin Shu's expression changed. She was about to say something but Jiang Lingyue raised her hand to stop her.
"Her Majesty Huifei is very busy, so I won't bother you any more," Jiang Lingyue glanced at the door to the bedroom and said calmly, "Please tell the two eunuchs that I will come back another day."
As he turned to leave, the two eunuchs behind him exchanged glances, and one of them hurriedly said, "Chen Wanyi, please stay."
Jiang Lingyue stamped her feet.
The eunuch said, "Your Majesty has been taking a nap for some time. I'll go check on her and see if she's awake. Please wait a moment."
After saying that, he hurried into the hall.
So Jiang Lingyue could only wait there.
It took more than half an hour before someone came.
When she was led into the inner hall, her temples were already wet with sweat and her legs were slightly weak. Fortunately, her hard life was almost over, otherwise she would have suffered even more.
She secretly sighed that the emperor had shown too much favoritism in recent days, causing her, her old rival who was always known for her virtue, to lose her temper even faster than in her previous life.
In his previous life, being so blatantly embarrassed by Concubine Hui would have happened two years later.
