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

The warm water covered her body. Jiang Lingyue looked at the glaring marks on her chest and abdomen, feeling like crying but unable to do so.

I've only rested for three days. Does this mean I've made back my money with interest?

Her two thin legs were still shaking.

It was really a lot of trouble.

Obviously, the emperor in the previous life was not like this.

He was unfeeling, cold and aloof, and indifferent in matters of the bed, and had never been so unrestrained.

Even when they were extremely intimate, the most outrageous thing he did was just kissing her a little too long.

...Sure enough, the emperor experienced many women in his career, and the ways he used to torture them became more and more diverse.

Jiang Lingyue pursed her lips and stopped herself from thinking about it.

……

The maids serving in Ning'an Palace were very nimble. When Jiang Lingyue came out of the bathroom, the messy bedding had been changed, and the young emperor was half leaning on the bed, with his head tilted, reaching out to her.

"Come up."

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

She obediently got on the bed and nestled into his arms.

I lived the same life as before, with him holding me in his arms night after night to fall asleep.

Many times, Jiang Lingyue wanted to ask him if his arms wouldn’t feel sore from doing this.

She felt like she was going to get a migraine from sleeping so much. She clearly didn't like being unable to sleep and move, but she was still flattered and overjoyed.

...I'm so tired.

Her eyelids began to twitch, and before falling asleep, Jiang Lingyue was still thinking about when her rivals in her previous life who were qualified to compete with her would be able to enter the palace.

How long will she have to endure this life?

When will it ever end?

…………

The next day, the news that His Majesty the Emperor had visited Ning'an Palace last night spread like wildfire.

It was only three days, and he stayed overnight.

...Is this a reconciliation?

Finally, they had some ideas, and the concubines in the harem who had been ready to make a move were immediately discouraged.

Is it time to reinstate Jiang Shao to his post next?

However, the imperial edict is not a joke. Once you have been exiled, you cannot be easily restored to your original position.

But...at the very least, you should give her some reward to appease the concubine's family.

It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other…

Both of them were selected into the palace and are noble ladies from aristocratic families. How come they are so pleasing to His Majesty and their families are also so honored and favored?

With such sour thoughts in mind and under the secret observation of countless people, the Jiang family did not receive any rewards or comfort for several days in a row.

Jiang Shao was really demoted.

Moreover, the two sons of the Jiang family, the two biological brothers of Concubine Chen, did not receive any special favors.

He is still a low-ranking soldier in the barracks.

This time, many people who didn't know the inside story were shocked.

Especially when the emperor still visited Ning'an Palace every day, he was puzzled.

My father’s official position was demoted several levels, yet they reconciled like this?

Doesn’t this Concubine Chen have any temper at all?

Your mother's family was exiled, but you didn't get angry at all?

Some of them lost their patience and their handkerchiefs were about to be torn.

On the contrary, several palace mistresses were well-informed and knew that Jiang Lingyue was bullied by her stepmother when she was in the boudoir, so it was normal for her to behave like this. They all kept silent and waited for a way to break the deadlock in the future.

The virtuous concubine even sent her maid to deliver a purse embroidered by herself, saying that they were all sisters, and since they had entered the palace, they should be closer than others. She told Jiang Lingyue that if she had nothing to do on weekdays, she could go to Yixiang Palace and sit down, so that the two sisters could chat about family matters.

This was the first time in two lifetimes that Concubine Xian had shown her goodwill so directly.

In her previous life, when she first entered the palace, Jiang Lingyue lived in a side hall of Yixiang Palace and had to live her life according to the mood of Concubine Xian, the head of the palace.

Later she was named a noble concubine, and in terms of status she was the number one person in the harem. However, the virtuous concubine gave birth to the emperor's first prince, and she had long been detached from the harem struggles and lived her own life behind closed doors in the palace.

Throughout the dynasties, princes have been the foundation of concubines. Without children, the emperor's favor is just a castle built in the air. No matter how magnificent it is, it can be blown away by a slight storm.

As the mother of the eldest prince, there is no need for the virtuous concubine to curry favor with the childless concubine.

And now, Jiang Lingyue lowered her eyes and looked at the purse in her hand. A small doll with a stubby head and a tiger-like body was embroidered on the plain brocade.

It turned out that her cousin still remembered this incident.

In the past, when her grandmother was still alive, and with the protection of her, the old lady of the Marquisate, Shen was somewhat cautious. Although she could not be said to be kind to her, she was not too harsh either. Jiang Lingyue's life was not as difficult as it was later.

In order to please her mother-in-law, the aunts were gentle and kind to their niece.

Jiang Lingyue remembered that she was about five or six years old.

Shen personally embroidered a purse for her daughter. On it was a round and cute lucky doll, which looked so lifelike that she was very envious when she saw it.

She was born without a mother and was very young at that time. She could not see the superficial warmth of her aunts and always thought that they loved her sincerely.

So I begged my aunt to embroider one for me.

later……

Jiang Lingyue sighed softly, stopping those ridiculous memories, and handed the purse in her hand to Jinshu behind her, "Put it away."

She has plenty of money now.

She is no longer the little girl who cried for her mother's love.

It was unclear whether this cousin really wanted to make friends with her or was intentionally stabbing her in the heart.

Why not give a purse as a gift?

It's really disgusting.

…………

The slight disturbance in the harem soon calmed down, and in the court.

The Shen family, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, was crushed by the imperial power. In less than a month, all the members of the Shen family in Lingnan were captured and brought back to Beijing.

From June to July, the topic of discussion in the streets and alleys of the capital was the Shen family.

After all, the Dahan Dynasty had enjoyed peace for a long time and there were no wars to fight. Several generations of emperors were broad-minded and benevolent monarchs, and there were few cases of punishing an entire family.

If you count carefully, the last family whose three clans were exterminated can be traced back to several decades ago.

Therefore, the turmoil brought about by the Shen family is indeed great.

It was so serious that many officials in the court and the country felt that the new emperor was too murderous.

It's really chilling.

However, most of the important officials who were well-informed knew about the crimes committed by the Shen family in secret.

Then I understand why the emperor cannot tolerate the Shen family.

Jiang Lingxin, the second daughter of the Jiang family, was sent to serve as a military conscientious object of worship because of her biological mother's involvement. Under the impact of hundreds of heads of the Shen family, few people cared except the Jiang family members.

As for the Jiang family, on the second day after Jiang Lingyue returned from the Heavenly Prison, which was also the second day after Jiang Lingxin was captured, they submitted a sign to the palace again.

This time, Jiang Lingyue ignored it as usual.

Whether he was asking her to save Jiang Lingxin, or he believed that all this was because of her whispering, she was taking revenge for the grievances she had suffered in the past, worried about bringing disaster to the Jiang family, and trying to restore her blood relationship.

She had no intention of meeting him.
