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

While drinking the fragrant green tea, the concubines felt very uncomfortable.

It turns out that the emperor who was as elegant as a bamboo and cold and aloof could also pamper people. Once he pampered someone, he would want to arrange all the good things for them.

The saying "It is not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality of wealth" is a supreme maxim.

The emperor is the husband of all the women in the harem. He is born with a cold temperament, does not love women, and has never treated anyone differently. If no one can get him, it doesn't matter. By slowly accumulating qualifications, he can live a stable life. Maybe if he is lucky, he can get pregnant one day, and the mother will be honored by having a child.

But now, the appearance of a new person tells them that this is not the case.

Some people can gain his favor and rise to fame overnight.

No one can avoid jealousy.

Concubine Shu looked around the palace, and when her eyes fell on the red coral tree half a person's height in the corner, the smile on her lips froze for a moment. "I heard that my sister's here are all treasures, and today I see that it is indeed true."

Today she wore a dark blue dress that reached her chest, with a light and transparent blouse on the outside, revealing a large area of ​​white on her chest, which made her face look even more attractive. However, her eyes and eyebrows no longer had the indifferent look that she had in Shaoguang Palace that day.

After all, the women in the harem, especially those who do not have children, rely on the emperor's favor to survive and are afraid that the emperor will forget about them.

Qi Junyi did not set foot in the harem these days, nor did he summon concubines to sleep with him in Chengming Palace. Even Concubine Shu could not help but feel a sense of crisis.

In response to her sour words, Jiang Lingyue slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said lightly: "Sister, you are too kind. These are just vulgar things."

Her words did not give Concubine Shu any face at all, and she was hinting that "Sister has never seen a good thing."

But she was no longer the Jiang Baolin who had made her look up that day in Shaoguang Palace and she had to look up.

Now that she has reached this point, her continued weakness makes her seem vulnerable.

Qi Junyi was right. It was normal for those who were spoiled to be a little spoiled.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the palace unconsciously looked at Concubine Shu's expression.

Concubine Shu had never been publicly humiliated before, and she felt that their eyes were filled with sarcasm. She immediately felt embarrassed and forced a smile, saying, "It's true that after three days of absence, a scholar becomes even more arrogant."

"Oh?" Jiang Lingyue put down the teacup in her hand, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked curiously, "How did I offend you that you are so aggressive?"

"You!" Concubine Shu could no longer contain herself and suddenly stood up, sneering angrily, "You are now favored, and you are allowed to flourish. You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I am waiting to see how long His Majesty will favor you."

After saying that, she turned away.

Jiang Lingyue watched quietly without trying to stop him.

Shufei was the daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat. She was famous for her beauty even in her boudoir. When the late emperor heard about her, he issued an edict to bestow her upon his own handsome prince as a concubine, hoping that she could give birth to an even more handsome grandson. Unfortunately, she was unable to become pregnant within a year of entering the Eastern Palace, and the late emperor passed away.

After Qi Junyi ascended the throne, he named her the first-rank concubine, giving her the power to assist in managing the six palaces. Among all the concubines in the harem, he still had a different affection for Concubine Shu.

She had only been in favor for a few days, but she dared to humiliate the other party in public. She was really ignorant of her own limitations.

Concubine Shu was used to being arrogant and had a very quick temper. If someone got upset with her, she would probably go to Guang'an Palace to complain to the emperor after leaving Ning'an Palace.

In this case, Qi Junyi should be cold to her, right?

That’s right, Jiang Lingyue acted arrogantly today and angered Concubine Shu on purpose.

The emperor's favor is too much, it's time to cool down.

…………

Guang'an Hall.

The chirping of cicadas in early summer began to sound, and all the windows in the study were opened. A breeze blew in, bringing with it a hint of heat.

Qi Junyi was sitting at the imperial table, reviewing the memorials on the desk. Liu Rong tiptoed in from outside the hall, bowed, and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Concubine Shu is outside requesting an audience."

"It seems to be coming from Ning'an Palace, like..." Liu Rong paused, and said, "It seems to be very angry."

Qi Junyi paused holding the pen, glanced at him sideways, and said calmly, "Call her in."

Liu Rong retreated.

After a while, Concubine Shu walked in gracefully. She raised her eyes to glance at the emperor sitting in front of the desk. Just one glance, her cheeks and neck were flushed. She knelt down and bowed deeply, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Qi Junyi's eyes finally moved away from the memorial, "Why is Peiyi here?"

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Shu stood up, walked a few steps to him, and said with tears in her eyes, "I am afraid that the reason I came here today will annoy Your Majesty."

"Oh?" Qi Junyi put down the imperial brush in his hand, straightened his expression, and said, "Tell me about it."

Concubine Shu told the story of how she had just been humiliated in Ning'an Palace. She did not dare to exaggerate the story and only embellished it slightly.

"Chen Jieyu is now the favorite of Your Majesty. I love her and her family. I am willing to be close to anyone Your Majesty likes. I came to congratulate her in person today because I wanted to make friends with her, but I didn't expect...she would be so disrespectful to me." As she said this, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

A pair of phoenix eyes are already tearful and full of affection.

Qi Junyi pretended not to notice and said indifferently, "She means no harm."

Concubine Shu was stunned and said subconsciously, "Chen Wanyi has only been favored for a few days, but she is already relying on your favor to look down on others. This is just taking advantage of your favor to become arrogant."

She entered the Eastern Palace at the age of sixteen and served the emperor for four years. She knew too well what a cold and rational man he was.

He rarely indulged in women and never took any woman seriously. His harem was as calm as a stagnant pool of water. The intrigues and arrogance of the concubines in the previous emperor's reign had never appeared.

Now that someone has disturbed this peace and caused him trouble, he should restore everything to its original state.

Even if it's still new to you and you can't let go... at the very least you should give the other person the cold shoulder.

Otherwise, if we allow a newcomer to be so arrogant, wouldn't the harem be in turmoil?

If she hadn't been prepared to suppress Jiang Lingyue's arrogance with certainty, she wouldn't have come here.

But the man on the throne showed no sign of anger. He simply raised his hand and said, "Step aside."

It was as if she was a maid who came to report.

Concubine Shu looked at him blankly, "Your Majesty?"

"She's arrogant, so just stay away from her," Qi Junyi's tone became increasingly dull. "You also know that she is my favorite, so don't make her unhappy."

Concubine Shu looked as if she was listening to a foreign language, her entire expression was dazed.

Qi Junyi frowned slightly, and Liu Rong, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly walked up to her and said, "Your Majesty, please come in."

Concubine Shu came to Guang'an Palace in a rage, but when she left, she seemed to have lost her soul, and even the airs of a favored concubine that she usually loved to put on were gone.

Anyone who sees it can see that the complaint was unsuccessful.

When Nanny Qian heard the news, she felt relieved immediately. Her master's weight in the emperor's heart was greatly increased. She turned around and reported to the palace.

By now the sun was setting, and most of the concubines who had come to the palace to congratulate had left, with only Concubine Zhao remaining.

Seeing that Nanny Qian seemed to have something to report, she tactfully said goodbye. Just as she was about to bow, she was supported by Jiang Lingyue.

"You are pregnant with the royal heir, so you won't need to be polite in the future."

Lady Zhao shyly agreed, her eyes filled with anticipation as she said, "I have no sisters in my family, and the moment I saw you I felt a sense of closeness. If you don't mind, I'd like to spend more time with you."

Her belly was not yet visible, but her whole body exuded the tenderness of an impending mother.

No matter what you think in your heart, you must always do your best to appear good.

Jiang Lingyue smiled and nodded, "Take care, sister."
