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

Chapter 3: Imperial Concubine: Sincerely? I don’t have any

Jinshu looked at the red mark on her neck and said with a smile, "Congratulations, young lady."

Jiang Lingyue was stunned, then she continued, "Your Majesty has favored me for three consecutive days, and even personally visited Chuxiu Palace last night. This kind of favor is unique among newcomers, enough to attract the attention of all six palaces."

Jin Yu's face was also filled with uncontrollable joy.

They are all Jiang Lingyue's personal maids. The three of them, master and servant, grew up together, entered the palace together, and have a deep relationship.

They were genuinely happy for their master, but Jiang Lingyue showed no joy at all. When she even heard the words "enough to attract the attention of the six palaces", a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.

What a great favor it is, indeed enough to make the six palaces regard her as a thorn in their eyes.

Wasn’t it like this in the previous life?

All kinds of open and covert struggles and endless means were used against her. She suffered a miscarriage and was poisoned, which made her unable to have children.

She ascended to a high position and became the most favored imperial concubine in the harem. However, at the Lantern Festival banquet in the palace, she was pointed at by his prince and scolded, saying that the two sisters of the Jiang family were the only ones favored in the harem and had seduced the emperor. She was the second Feiyan and Hede and deserved to never have children.

Children were Jiang Lingyue's weak spot. Being pointed at and scolded by a young boy made her so angry that she vomited blood and died on the spot.

Recalling her past life, Jiang Lingyue closed her eyes.

After a long while, she suppressed her surging emotions, walked around the screen and into the inner room.

A familiar smell filled the entire room. She turned away from the dressing table and walked towards the incense burner.

After burning all night, only burnt ashes remained in the incense burner, but Jiang Lingyue only needed to sniff it lightly to smell the unique scent of musk deer.

That was the taste that made her most miserable in her previous life.

So, she had already used it...

Therefore, the reason why she couldn't keep her child was not just because Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu deliberately made things difficult for her.

He was actually the culprit. He didn't want her to have a child, so he burned incense mixed with musk deer every night. Even if she got pregnant, she couldn't keep the baby.

Jiang Lingyue smiled nonchalantly and closed the lid of the incense burner.

It's okay, she had already gotten over her stupidity, and now that she has come to her senses, she doesn't want to give birth to his child anymore.

Whether she was treated as a substitute to comfort him or he loved her without a trace of sincerity, since she entered the palace, she had no choice but to leave.

As long as she doesn't continue to be foolish enough to hope for the emperor's love, and becomes a concubine who is favored by the harem, power, status, glory and wealth will all be within her reach. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?

Compared with other women in the palace, she was extremely lucky.

This was something Jiang Lingyue didn't figure out until her death in her previous life. Now that God has really given her a chance to start over, she will enjoy the wealth and glory and no longer give a trace of her true love.

She thought a lot, but in the eyes of Jinshu and Jinyu, she just stared at the incense burner in a daze.

The two maids exchanged a glance and bowed, saying, "Young lady, it's time to get dressed. If you miss the time to pay your respects, it would be bad if someone finds you wrong."

Their master has been in great favor these days, which has really attracted some attention. There are countless eyes staring at them. In this deep palace, there are many rules. With their current status, if they make a mistake, they will be doomed.

Jiang Lingyue nodded lightly, turned around and sat back in front of the dressing table. When she raised her eyes and saw the bright and juicy face in the bronze mirror, her eyes were a little dazed.

It turns out that she was so beautiful at the age of seventeen.

She raised her hand and touched the red mole at the corner of her eye that she had once wanted to remove...

Now I just feel lucky.

With this mole, she has no worries about power and status.

God has been kind to her, allowing her to return to her youthful youth. Now she is healthy and beautiful, no longer the pale and yellow face she had when she was bedridden.

As for sincerity?

That's the least important thing.

Jinshu noticed that she was not in a good mood. As she tied her hair, she whispered, "My lady, if there is something that makes you unhappy, you can talk to me."

"There's nothing unpleasant about it," Jiang Lingyue said with a smile, "I'm very happy."

As she spoke, she pointed to the red mark on the side of her neck and instructed, "Apply a few more layers of powder to cover it up completely."

As summer is approaching, dresses are becoming thinner and lighter, but there are no collars to cover this part.

I will go to Shaoguang Palace to pay my respects later. Now she is just a little Baolin who can be stepped on by anyone. It is better not to create such obvious hatred for the time being.

Shaoguang Palace is the bedroom of Concubine Hui... To be honest, there is no real mistress in the harem, and Qi Junyi has never married a wife.

He was made crown prince at the age of ten, became regent at the age of seventeen, and when he was eighteen, the late emperor issued an edict to give Chen Yue'er, the eldest daughter of Duke Chen, to him as the crown prince's principal wife.

Logically speaking, this was the future empress, but on the eve of her marriage at the age of nineteen, Miss Chen contracted an acute illness and died. The late emperor was already bedridden at the time, and he passed away before he had time to choose another good wife for his eldest son.

Qi Junyi ascended the throne at the age of twenty. Originally, the emperor observed mourning for months instead of years, but he had a deep affection for the late emperor and his son, so he insisted on observing mourning for three years. Now that the three-year mourning period has passed, he selected a group of beautiful girls to enter the palace, but the candidate for the queen is still vacant.

Jiang Lingyue also knew that the position of queen would remain vacant until she died on the Lantern Festival in the ninth year of Jingtai, and the harem would still have no real mistress.

All the women in the harem were drooling over that position and looking forward to it, but they didn't know that Qi Junyi had never intended to make her the queen.

In his heart, the position of legal wife belongs exclusively to the young Miss Chen who passed away early.

As for the other women in the harem, they were just concubines who were there to give birth to children.

And she didn't even have the qualifications to give birth to children.

Under the Empress of this dynasty, there are four first-rank concubines, namely Gui, Hui, Xian and Shu. Now there are three of the four concubines, leaving only the position of Guifei vacant.

Concubine Hui was born in the Anguo Mansion and was Qi Junyi's cousin. The two were childhood sweethearts, but in his eyes, their relationship was different. She currently held the phoenix seal and was in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, with the same position as the vice-empress.

The virtuous concubine and the virtuous concubine were both from official families. Before Qi Junyi ascended the throne, one of them was the prince's concubine, and the other was also the prince's concubine. They were both elderly people who followed Qi Junyi and had the power to assist the harem.

The other concubines in the harem had to go to Shaoguang Palace every morning to pay their respects to these three ladies.

When Jiang Lingyue arrived, the place was already bustling with activity. Even the Concubine Shu, who had not been seen for a few days, came.

She was in her prime, and now at the age of twenty, she was at the peak of her beauty. She was wearing a light crimson palace skirt and sitting on the right side of Concubine Hui, listening to the people below talking in a disjointed manner.

Seeing Jiang Lingyue come in, the smile on Concubine Shu's face faded a little, and she put down the teacup she had just picked up. The slightly noisy noise inside suddenly stopped, and everyone's eyes turned over.

They were all old acquaintances, just a few years younger. Jiang Lingyue walked steadily to the center despite all the gazes, bowed deeply to the three concubines at the top, lowered her brows and said, "Your servant greets the Empress Hui, the Empress Shu, and the Empress Xian. May the three be well and safe."
