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

Concubine Hui held the phoenix seal and was in charge of the affairs of the six palaces. The inner court was under her control, and her reputation for virtue spread throughout the court and the harem. She was worried that the new arrival might not know the etiquette, so she arranged for two maids to give her advice, so that no one could find fault with her.

But Jiang Lingyue could hear the knocking sound inside.

It seems that the speed of her promotion has made this dignified and virtuous old rival unable to sit still.

Her heart was cold, but she smiled and said, "Sister Huifei is so thoughtful. I'm busy today and can't leave. Go back and tell her that I will come to thank you one day."

The difference between the eighth-rank Baolin and the first-rank concubine is like a chasm, so naturally she dare not call her sister or sister. But it is different for the fifth-rank Wanyi, she can still reach her by standing on tiptoe.

Jiang Lingyue raised her eyes and looked towards Shaoguang Palace, the smile on her lips deepening.

In her previous life, she entered the palace and ascended to the position of Imperial Concubine four years later. Judging from the current situation, it probably won't take that long in this life.

Soon, she will return to the position of the head of the four concubines, surpassing Hui, Xian and Shu, and come from behind as a newcomer.

Things like sending a palace maid to beat her up at random today will not happen again.

As for whether there is a substitute or not?

so what.

She only needed to know that the emperor's favor was the only thing that mattered in the harem, and the reason for the favor was not important at all.

The power and status she has obtained are real. Before, she was obsessed and was easily influenced by a few words.

…………

Although spring has arrived and flowers are blooming, the days in the capital are still short and the nights are long.

As night gradually fell, Jiang Lingyue, riding on the red light of the sunset, brought several followers and moved into Ning'an Palace in a grand manner.

Of course she was happy that she could become the head of a palace without having to wait for seniority.

In her previous life, Jiang Lingyue left Chuxiu Palace and her first residence was Concubine Xian’s Yixiang Palace.

She lived in a side hall of Yixiang Palace for nearly two years, and was promoted from a seventh-rank talent to a fourth-rank noble lady. Until she had an unexpected miscarriage, perhaps out of guilt or perhaps to comfort her, Qi Junyi promoted her to a third-rank concubine, and Jiang Lingyue finally had her own palace.

During those two years, she stayed in a small side hall, where the real master of the palace was above her. Her words and actions were very restricted. Whenever Qi Junyi came to see her, he would first go to say a few words to the virtuous concubine.

This is to give face to the master of the first palace.

At the beginning, Jiang Lingyue regarded him as her king and father, and had no intention of competing for favor, so even if he came to Yixiang Palace and visited the main hall, she would not feel bored.

But later she developed a love for him and felt a little uncomfortable.

Love breeds jealousy, love breeds fear.

But how could she be blamed for falling in love? He treated her so well, so well that all the palace ladies looked at her with awe, so well that everyone in the court and the country knew that she was his beloved.

The cold and aloof young emperor is gentle and affectionate only towards you, and all his patience is poured into you. No woman would not be moved by such favor, let alone Jiang Lingyue who has lacked warmth since childhood.

But she always kept in mind that her husband was the king of a country, and it was his duty to visit the concubines. No matter how much she loved him, how arrogant he was, or how domineering and unreasonable he was, Jiang Lingyue never dared to ask him to go to someone else.

What's more, compared to the late emperor, Qi Junyi's harem was actually quite deserted. He had never been obsessed with women. Before her, his harem was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and he didn't even have a decent concubine.

Even the extremely beautiful Concubine Shu was not given his special favor.

On the contrary, he made exceptions for her repeatedly because of a mole at the corner of her eye and a similar name.

Thinking about the past, Jiang Lingyue couldn't help but sigh.

Perhaps human nature is greedy, and she was like that in her previous life.

Once you are favored, you will greedily want more.

She wants his exclusive favor, his sincerity, and the undivided love of an emperor.

She received so much preferential treatment from him that she had many delusions, so much so that when she later learned the truth, she was at a loss, her mind was broken, and she was filled with hatred and resentment.

Fortunately, she has now come to a great realization. Since she can start over again, she will never make the same mistake again in her life.

Jiang Lingyue looked at the gold-lacquered pillars inlaid with gems, the floor covered with white jade, and the roses blooming in the courtyard, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

This is good enough. As long as she doesn't ask for more, there will be no woman in the entire harem who will live a happier life than her.

This time, she will be a gentle and virtuous concubine who is neither jealous nor resentful, and is favored but infertile.

child?

With so many women in the palace, she has no worries about not having children.

After dinner, the Ning'an Palace was brightly lit.

Jiang Lingyue sat on a soft chair, holding the exquisitely carved animal head on the side of the chair, and looked at the rows of palace maids standing neatly in front of her.

The loyal servants she used to have in her previous life were not among them. She had to find an opportunity to bring them all over in the future.

Qi Junyi personally arranged for her to live in Ning'an Palace and asked her to move in on the same day. This series of actions surprised even her. She believed that apart from the three concubines in charge of inner court affairs, there would not be many concubines who had the means to place their own people in her palace in such a short time.

These people were all selected by the three concubines. Jiang Lingyue would never believe that they all had clean backgrounds.

The emperor, who was indifferent by nature, suddenly treated a new beauty in the palace differently. The three old rivals must have been very uneasy in the face of such a sudden opponent. How could they not make some moves?

Jiang Lingyue had no interest in cleaning the courtyard or asking about the little palace maids who could not enter the bedroom. After all, Jinshu Jinyu's way of training the palace maids and managing miscellaneous affairs always made her feel at ease.

She fixed her eyes on the two maids and asked, "What are your names?"

"In reply to Her Majesty Wanyi," the taller one on the left bowed first and said respectfully, "In reply to Her Majesty Wanyi, my surname is Li. You may call me Madam Li."

The slightly chubby one on the right followed up, "My maid's surname is Qian, and my given name is Su."

Jiang Lingyue's eyes moved slightly. She answered according to the question, which was quite cautious.

She took a look and said calmly, "From tomorrow on, you will stay by my side and serve me."

No matter who the master behind this is, he is always a smart person who never makes mistakes in his words and deeds.

"As for Nanny Li..." She shifted her gaze to the left and said to Jinshu and Jinyu, "I'll leave it to you to arrange."

After saying that, she didn't bother to look at the other person's expression. She stood up with the help of the handrail and was about to go back to the palace. But out of the corner of her eye, she saw the emperor in a dark suit stepping into the door of her bedroom.

Seeing her looking at him, Qi Junyi did not stop, walked past the eunuch holding the lamp in front of him and came to her, reached out and held her arm, supporting the girl who was about to bow.

Everyone in the yard knelt on the ground.

He turned sideways and glanced down, "Are these people enough? Are there any unsatisfactory people?"
