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

Jiang Lingyue reacted immediately and nodded in agreement. Fearing that this man would take it to heart, she did not forget to express her loyalty and said, "I didn't mean that. I like you very much, but I'm a little tired and don't want to have sex."

Such straightforward words could make His Majesty the Emperor very happy.

He lowered his head and kissed the person beneath him, then held her in his arms again and said softly, "It's my fault. I made Yueyue tired."

He should have thought that the effect of the blood ginseng had worn off, and excessive sexual intercourse would only harm her body.

A girl in her teens is just beginning to grow up.

Jiang Lingyue accepted his apology calmly, nestled in his arms, and asked curiously, "Aren't you tired?"

For so many days now, in order to detoxify her, every night...

This question made His Majesty choke for a rare moment. He immediately reached out and lifted up her face, smiled at her, and said, "How about Yueyue and I exchange some advice?"

“…Forget it, forget it.” Jiang Lingyue shook her head.

She remembered that the emperor's harem was supposed to have four concubines, nine imperial concubines, twenty-seven ladies-in-waiting and eighty-one imperial wives.

When he visited his concubines, it was common for him to have sex with two women at night.

And she was the only one for him in both his lives.

And they are strong and energetic.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lingyue began to worry about her own small body.

…………

Early the next morning, the Ning'an Palace warehouse was opened.

Jiang Lingyue personally selected two exquisite jade ruyi and asked the palace servants to send them to Baohua Palace and Shaoguang Palace respectively.

That afternoon, the gates of Baohua Palace were opened.

Chen Shuyi braved the rainy weather and rode in a sedan chair to the gate of Ning'an Palace.

At that time, Jiang Lingyue was in the study, concentrating on looking at the map spread out on the table.

Hearing Jinshu's report, she smiled and said, "Please ask her to come in."

"Yes." Jinshu stepped back.

After a while, Chen Shuyi, wearing a light yellow cloak, appeared at the door.

Once inside, she calmly took off the hood of her cloak, revealing her beautiful face. She folded her hands on her abdomen, knelt down and bowed, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Highness."

The last time Chen Shuyi came to Ning'an Palace was the first day Jiang Lingyue moved into Ning'an Palace.

The Chen siblings have a good relationship. Knowing that her brother is attracted to the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and wants to propose marriage to her as his wife, Chen Shuyi thinks that Jiang Lingyue will be her sister-in-law.

In the blink of an eye, she entered the palace.

She didn't know the inside story and only thought that Jiang's daughter abandoned her brother because she relied on her beauty to pursue a better future, so she went to her house to ridicule her.

At that time, Jiang Lingyue was only a fifth-rank treasure, and could not sit in the main seat with her.

In just one year, she became the most favored concubine in the harem, and countless people came to curry favor with her, fearing to offend her.

But Chen Shuyi never came again.

He never took the initiative to ease the relationship between the two. Even though he knew that he would gain no benefits by being at odds with Jiang Lingyue, he refused to bow his head and show goodwill.

Sure enough, the Chen family are all tough guys.

Jiang Lingyue likes tough guys, and what she lacks under her command are also tough guys.

She took a few steps forward, reached out and held the man's arm, helped him up, and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, sit down."

Chen Shuyi stood up somewhat uncomfortably, untied her cloak, handed it to the maid behind her, and sat down.

Jinshu came in and served tea.

As the steam rises, a faint tea fragrance fills the air.

Chen Shuyi was a straightforward person. She took a sip of tea and went straight to the point, "A few days ago, my brother came to the palace and told me about something. I've been thinking about it for many days, and now that I've received the jade ruyi you gave me, I've made up my mind."

Jiang Lingyue actually likes her elder sister Chen Ziwei very much.

In her previous life, several high-ranking concubines in the harem had troubled her to varying degrees.

The only person who disliked her was Chen Shuyi, who had never been mean to her because of Chen Ziwei.

Even when he saw Concubine Xian making things difficult for her, he helped her out.

Of course, her words weren't very nice.

They often ask her to leave impatiently and stop standing around and being an eyesore.

Hearing this, Jiang Lingyue didn't put on airs at all and followed her words: "What do you think? Sister, do you want to be a lady-in-waiting in the inner court, or be the eldest daughter of the Chen family again?"

Chen Shuyi did not answer but asked, "May I ask what rank Your Majesty intends to give me if I become an official in the inner court?"

She is now a second-rank Shuyi, the mistress of a palace.

The highest rank of inner court officials was only the third rank.

No matter what, it is a low position.

However, this comparison cannot be made.

After all, if she didn't enter the inner court, she wouldn't be able to hold the position of Second-Rank Lady for long.

Once I return to the Chen family, I will have nothing.

Jiang Lingyue had already made plans for her arrangements, and upon hearing this, she said, "Fourth rank."

The same rank as Xie Anning.

However, several positions in the inner court for the positions of Shangsi and Sizhong were filled.

The fourth-rank official title given to her was just an empty rank without an actual position.

Chen Shuyi, who had assisted in the management of the six palaces, certainly knew this.

So she waited for what would happen next.

Jiang Lingyue was about to speak when Jinyu walked into the hall, "Your Majesty, Hui... the deposed Consort Lu is here to see you outside the palace gate."

Jiang Lingyue was startled for a moment, then smiled and said to Chen Shuyi, "You two have a tacit understanding. If you don't come, no one will come, but if you come, you will come right after each other."

After saying that, he said to Jinyu, "Please come in."

"Yes." Jin Yu took the order and left.

But after a short while, Concubine Hui appeared at the door of the palace.

The former mistress of the six palaces, the first-rank concubine with the same status as the deputy queen, inevitably looked a little haggard after being deposed.

She no longer had the radiant and arrogant look she had before.

It can be seen that power can support people.

Unlike Chen Shuyi's kneeling ceremony, the deposed Concubine Hui performed a kneeling ceremony.

Jiang Lingyue also did not put on airs. Since she wanted to employ someone, she could not only make them willingly submit, but at least she could not let them work for her with resentment.

She stood up and walked over, helped the person up, and said with a smile, "Sister has lost a lot of weight."

"I have been reflecting on myself in Shaoguang Palace these days and have come to understand how many mistakes I have made in the past. Your Majesty has been so magnanimous and has forgiven the past and gifted me with the Jade Ruyi. This has made me feel deeply ashamed and I truly cannot bear to call you sister."

Concubine Hui looked respectful and spoke sincerely as she said, "My maiden name is Mingyao. If Your Majesty does not mind, you may call me by my maiden name."

These words were extremely humble, even a bit flattering.

Jiang Lingyue was very surprised.

In her previous life, after she was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine, Qi Junyi issued an imperial decree to all the six palaces, requiring all the concubines to come to Changyue Palace to kowtow and pay their respects to her during every New Year.

The same is true for the three concubines Hui, Shu and Xian, who are all of the first rank.

But even so, Concubine Hui had never said such flattering words as she did now.

She didn't know that Lu Mingyao truly thought she was broad-minded.

After all, there had been clashes between the two.

When Jiang Lingyue was still Baolin, she once made him kneel down.

She was deposed from her position as a concubine because she targeted the other party.

If she were in his shoes, Concubine Hui did not think she could be so magnanimous as to give someone who had repeatedly harbored ill will towards her a chance to turn things around.

This is also the reason why she has been unable to make a decision even though she has long wanted to serve as a female official in the inner court.

It was only after receiving the jade ruyi today that she made up her mind.

Once they entered the inner court, Jiang Lingyue would be the ruler and she would be the subject.

Lu Mingyao is a smart man. Working under someone else, he must of course settle the previous grudges.

As soon as she entered the room, she knelt down neatly and neatly, returning the kneeling ceremony that Jiang Lingyue had performed in Shaoguang Palace.
