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

Inside the hall, Concubine Hui, dressed in a light crimson palace dress, sat at the head of the table, her posture graceful, noble and elegant.

Several ice jars placed in the corner were slowly emitting cool air, making the huge main hall very cool.

Jiang Lingyue bowed and said, "Your servant greets Her Majesty Huifei."

Compared to Jiang Lingyue, who was sweating profusely and looked disheveled, Concubine Hui looked graceful, with a look of tiredness in her eyes as if she had just woken up.

She supported her chin and yawned slowly, then took a sip of tea from the teacup. Jiang Lingyue, who had been standing for a long time, now bent her knees deeply and her body soon swayed.

Concubine Hui then lowered her eyes and asked, "Is Chen Wanyi dissatisfied with paying respects to me?"

Jiang Lingyue lowered her eyebrows and said: "I dare not."

"I don't think there's anything you wouldn't dare to do," Concubine Hui said with a smile on her lips, "Kneel down."

Even if she did not take charge of the affairs of the six palaces, Concubine Hui was still a concubine of the first rank. According to the rules, concubines of the third rank and below should kneel down and salute when they see her.

This is nothing.

Jiang Lingyue knelt down immediately.

Obviously, she didn't expect her to kneel so decisively. Concubine Hui's eyelids twitched and her face darkened.

"I entered the Eastern Palace as the Crown Prince's concubine at the age of sixteen, and held the Phoenix Seal at the age of eighteen. Over the years, I have never been fond of giving others trouble. Do you know why I have to set rules for you today?"

Jiang Lingyue lowered her head and said nothing.

"You don't know, so I'll tell you," Concubine Hui said. "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. Now in his twenties, he still has no children. The most important thing for the concubines is to continue the royal family. Do you agree?"

Jiang Lingyue said, "I agree."

"As long as you agree," Concubine Hui's expression softened. She stood up and helped the man up personally, saying, "I originally thought you were so favored upon entering the palace that you were spoiled beyond belief. I wanted to calm your temper, but I didn't expect you to be so sensible."

"Today I have been the bad guy, my sister, please do not bear a grudge against me." As she spoke, she patted Jiang Lingyue's hand, her voice becoming softer. "Since you agree, why did you continue to occupy His Majesty when you have been unwell these past few days?"

"I didn't mean to occupy Your Majesty, but..." Jiang Lingyue said with difficulty, "It's just that Your Majesty gave me face and was willing to come to Ning'an Palace. I didn't dare to disturb Your Majesty's pleasure."

"Sister, what you said is wrong," Concubine Hui shook her head slightly, quite disapproving. "You and I are imperial concubines, with titles and salaries, no different from court officials. If His Majesty's words or actions are inappropriate, I should give him some advice. How can I be like an ordinary concubine, only interested in vying for favor?"

She is worthy of being the most popular candidate for the throne. If the civil officials in the court heard this, they would probably write poems to praise her.

But Jiang Lingyue just thought it was funny. Qi Junyi had only come to her palace for a few consecutive days. It would have been no big deal during the reign of the previous emperor. Which of the previous emperor's favorite concubines had not been favored for a period of time?

Concubine Hui did not dare to admonish Qi Junyi, but only came to warn her, the newcomer whose honor and disgrace were decided by the emperor.

He also keeps saying that he doesn't just compete for favor.

If you enter the palace as a concubine and don't fight for favor, do you have to live by crying?

She remained silent for a long time, and Concubine Hui's tone softened. "I am saying this for my sister's own good. Think about it carefully."

Jiang Lingyue understood what she meant.

The emperor's favor is a double-edged sword. When the emperor is favored, it is naturally glorious, but it will offend many people.

She nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

Such a learned look made Concubine Hui's eyes flash with satisfaction, "In this case, it is worth my reminder."

"There's one more thing," she changed the subject, "your family sent a letter to the palace today. Since you're a junior, you're not qualified to meet with anyone outside the palace. Considering you're new to the palace, I can make an exception."

The sweet dates are here.

Jiang Lingyue had experienced this kind of method many times and was not unfamiliar with it at all.

But she didn't want to eat this sweet date. The only people from the Jiang family who would enter the palace would be her stepmother and elder sister-in-law, and she didn't want to see them.

However, if she didn't want to offend Concubine Hui's kindness, she couldn't just reject it directly.

On the way back, Jinshu saw that her master looked exhausted and her makeup was smudged. She was a little angry and said, "Empress Huifei is making things difficult for you. If His Majesty knew..."

"But making me wait for a while is not really a problem at all," Jiang Lingyue said calmly, "It won't make any difference if I know."

There is a difference between the superior and the inferior, and the superior should not be inferior to the inferior.

Whether Concubine Hui made her wait for a long time or ordered her to kneel, there was nothing wrong with it.

Jinshu had seen how much his master had been favored these past few days, and upon hearing this, he frowned and said, "But His Majesty treats you so well, he won't even allow you to take a bite of the medicinal food."

What’s more, we stood in the scorching sun for such a long time.

However, within just a few days, the man's casual display of favoritism made the personal maid feel that he would stand up for her for such a small matter.

Jiang Lingyue rubbed her eyebrows helplessly. She didn't blame Jinshu. After all, she had fallen into his gentle trap in her previous life.

If she hadn't died once, she might not have come to her senses.

Qi Junyi is not a person who is blinded by lust. He may be favored by her or feel guilty about it, but he will not confuse the hierarchy and disrupt the rules in the harem.

In her previous life, when she was in a low position and had little influence, she had to endure many difficulties and be forced to kneel down.

But soon, Jiang Lingyue found out that she was wrong.

Not long after returning to Ning'an Palace, the emperor arrived. At that time, Jiang Lingyue was soaking in the hot spring pool in the back hall.

She had been standing for a long time today and was sweating all over. Her waist and legs were sore and tired. Once she entered the pool, she felt so comfortable that she didn't want to get up.

When a figure stood before her, she didn't even raise her eyelids, thinking it was just a maid coming in to serve her, and lazily ordered, "Come and massage my shoulders."

The man seemed to pause for a moment. When Jiang Lingyue noticed something was wrong and looked up, she saw the emperor undressing himself, a long black robe falling onto the jade bricks...

Her eyes suddenly widened, and her hands, which were lazily resting on the pool wall, suddenly tightened.

There was a thin mist in the hot spring pool. Jiang Lingyue couldn't see the expression of the man in front of her, but she could see his clothes falling off piece by piece.

Her mind exploded, and she quickly turned away and said, "My makeup is not in good condition, Your Majesty, please step aside."

But the person in front of her seemed to have not heard her words at all. He stepped into the hot spring pool and walked towards her.

This situation made Jiang Lingyue dazed. She stared at the person approaching, put a hand on her shoulder, and then hurriedly stepped back, "Your Majesty..."

"Hmm..." Qi Junyi responded softly, holding her chin and turning her face towards him, and said, "What do you want me to avoid?"

Of course, avoid...

Jiang Lingyue gritted her teeth, her face flushed red, not sure if it was out of embarrassment or the heat from the pool.

This man is used to behaving properly, and has always behaved like a gentleman who restrains himself and upholds propriety. Even in bed, he does not act recklessly.

Even though she was so favored in her previous life, the two of them had never bathed in the same pool together.

this life……

Has he changed his personality?
