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

The fact that he suppressed Jiang and caused her father's accidental death was enough to make her have wild thoughts.

In this life, everything returned to the starting point. Qi Junyi still had no intention of forgiving the Jiang family who had bullied and plotted against her, but this time, he would not let her harbor any grudges against him again.

Thinking of this, his voice softened as he spoke slowly, "I demoted your father because his talent wasn't up to his current position. I didn't mean to suppress your mother's family."

Jiang Lingyue was unaware of his psychological changes and was shocked when she heard what he said.

What is this emperor who holds real power, whose words are law and who makes decisions on his own, doing?

Are you explaining to your concubines?

This man's mind has always been unpredictable. Although he is lenient to his subordinates, he always sticks to his word when governing. I'm afraid he won't necessarily explain so much even to his most trusted and beloved ministers.

She...she is nothing.

Jiang Lingyue was in great panic and subconsciously wanted to lower her eyes to avoid his gaze, but the hand on her chin did not allow her to avoid it.

"What are you panicking about?" Qi Junyi frowned slightly and asked suspiciously, "Yueyue wants to plead for your father?"

"...No," Jiang Lingyue pursed her lips, "I'm just a little flattered."

Hearing this, Qi Junyi's expression relaxed. He lowered his head and kissed her nose, whispering affectionately, "Not bad, not too slow."

At least I know how much I am treated.

"Don't worry about the Jiang family's affairs, and don't ask about them. I will make the decision..."

A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said, "Those bad things are all in the past. Now that you have entered the palace, I will naturally protect you in the future. Yueyue, you can be more arrogant, but don't let yourself be wronged again."

As he spoke, thinking of her current position, he paused and continued, "You have just entered the palace, your foundation is not stable, and you cannot be granted a high position for the time being..."

Sensing the embarrassment in his words, Jiang Lingyue said politely, "I'll save you the trouble."

She had never thought of returning to the position of imperial concubine in her previous life in a short period of time. Such a sudden promotion would not only make the six palaces jealous and desperate, but also attract the attention of all the civil and military officials in the court, making the enemies she made unimaginable.

It's simply not something she can afford now.

Therefore, it is best to take a steady path to advancement. She can be favored, but she cannot be the only one favored that makes other concubines despair.

The harem needs a hundred flowers to bloom, and relying on the affection from her previous life, she doesn't have to do anything to become the most unique flower in the eyes of the emperor.

This difference is enough to keep her in favor forever.

After a few years, she would return to the throne and choose a prince to raise as her own, so as to secure the position of empress dowager in the future.

After all, becoming the empress dowager is the highest position a woman in the harem can reach.

Jiang Lingyue didn't want to crawl at the feet of other women, so she could only walk towards this position step by step.

For a moment, her mind raced wildly, yet she spoke without pause as she spoke, "My sisters have served you for years. I, a newcomer to the palace, dare not aspire to surpass them in a single bound... Your Majesty's love for me is so great that it already makes me feel uneasy."

Her words were truly considerate, her voice soft and velvety, perfectly portraying the role of a young girl who had just been favored and was filled with gratitude, fear, and a certain degree of dependence on her husband.

But Qi Junyi did not react. He listened quietly and remained silent for a while. He used a little force to hold her hand. The depths of his lowered eyes were dark and gloomy, and his expression was unfathomable.

After a long while, he patted the little head in his arms and said softly, "...Go to sleep."

The voice was low and rough, as if he was suppressing some emotions.

Jiang Lingyue realized that something was wrong with him and was really confused. She didn't know what she had said was wrong to make him unhappy.

I started to ponder it unconsciously.

I don’t know how long this person lived after her death in her previous life. He is becoming more and more unpredictable.

...He was in good health and looked like he could live a long time. He was also the supreme ruler of the world and there would be no mistakes. He must have died of old age.

After ruling the world for decades, even an elm tree could become a spirit, not to mention that this person's mind is unfathomable.

As she thought about it, Jiang Lingyue felt a chill all over her body. She felt that the person lying next to her was not a handsome and dignified young man, but a wise and resourceful old emperor who was old enough to be her grandfather.

She swallowed hard and made up her mind that apart from the secret that she was also reborn, she would never lie or show off in front of him again.

How could those shallow intrigues and schemes be hidden from an emperor who had been in a high position and playing power games for decades?

People here were already getting so nervous that they were trembling with fear, and Qi Junyi, holding the girl in his arms, was still thinking about her words, 'The sisters have served you for many years, you don't ask to surpass them', and he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

The two people have very different thoughts and dreams, but their bodies are so compatible when they sleep in each other's arms.

Jiang Lingyue's stature was not short for a girl, but this man was tall and had broad shoulders, so he could wrap her in his arms. They were tightly pressed together, without any awkwardness.

At first glance, they look like the most loving and well-matched couple in the world.

Qi Junyi held the person in his arms, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Lingyue was also very tired, so she nestled obediently in his arms, emptying her mind.

…………

The next day.

When Jiang Lingyue woke up, it was already bright outside, and the sunlight shone through the window through the mottled shadows of the trees.

Bright and dazzling.

Looking at the sun, it must be midday already, well past breakfast time.

The remaining warmth beside me was completely cold, and I didn’t know how long I had been away.

Jiang Lingyue felt as if every part of her body had been crushed, sore and weak. Last night she had managed to get out of bed and eat, but after a good night's sleep, her body felt even worse.

If Qi Junyi really wanted to praise someone, he would definitely do his best in every aspect. Knowing that she had gone a little too far last night, he must have ordered people not to wake her up.

Thinking of this, she was no longer in a hurry to get up. She closed her eyes lazily and rubbed her eyebrows lightly with her fingers.

She sighed softly, thinking that it was not easy for the emperor either. As a concubine, she at least got a good sleep after serving him in bed, but the emperor had to work hard for his concubines at night for the sake of having an offspring, and then had to deal with those complicated government affairs at dawn.

The situation in the court is changing rapidly, with complicated party struggles.

Before Jiang Lingyue entered the palace in her previous life, she had heard about the new emperor's powerful and effective governing methods.

Qi Junyi did not deliberately suppress the aristocratic families, but he never used the children of aristocratic families.

The people he kept around him since he was a prince were all from poor families.

With his smooth ascension to the throne, the old ministers of the previous emperor's dynasty retreated one by one, and those who took over their positions were Qi Junyi's team during his time in the Eastern Palace.

They are all capable ministers, and loyal ministers who are only loyal to the emperor.

Two years as regent and three years on the throne, five years is enough for Qi Junyi to consolidate the imperial power in his hands.
