After a broken heart, I traveled through time and space and became an abandoned concubine. My fate i

Somehow, word of Su Jin's harem reforms spread, and Concubine Su was extremely anxious when she heard about it. She knew that if it was not handled properly or even failed to be promoted, it would likely backfire on her, and she was deeply worried about it.

Concubine Su decided to meet with the Emperor again. She meticulously prepared, carefully choosing her words, determined to persuade the Emperor to support her ideas for harem reform. The moment she entered the palace, Concubine Su's delicate figure descended gracefully, kneeling in obeisance. Her voice was filled with earnestness and anxiety: "Your Majesty, I implore you to expedite the reform of the harem. My sisters are currently living under these strict and cumbersome rules. Concubine Hui is being humiliated, and everyone is in danger, trembling with fear every day. This situation is truly not a blessing for the harem. If the strange phenomenon of Concubine De being humiliated were to repeat itself, it would harm the continuation of our royal lineage."

After saying this, Concubine Su raised her head slightly, tears glistening in her eyes. Her pitiful appearance moved all to pity. Upon hearing this, the Emperor's brow furrowed, his face filled with embarrassment, but his gaze was unconsciously drawn to Concubine Su's pitiful demeanor, and his heart trembled. "My beloved, this matter is a matter of great difficulty to me. The ministers are all strongly opposed, but according to the rules of our ancestors, I must weigh the pros and cons and proceed with caution."

Concubine Su bit her lip and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty~" This tone, which sounded like anger and resentment, softened the emperor's heart. Her tone became more firm, "Your Majesty, I know that this matter will be difficult to implement, but for the sake of the peace and tranquility of the harem, I hope Your Majesty can make up his mind."

The emperor was silent for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't bear to reject the beautiful woman before him, so he slowly said, "My beloved, I will give you three days. If you can come up with a reason that will convince the ministers, I will support your reform."

Concubine Su's heart tightened, knowing that these three days were extremely tight, but now she had no way out and could only fight to the death.

Concubine Su knew that time was precious and dared not waste even a moment. She hurried back to her bedroom and immediately summoned the palace maids and eunuchs to discuss a countermeasure.

"Now the emperor wants me to come up with a reason that can convince the ministers. Let's all think of a solution." Concubine Su's face was solemn, and her eyes were full of determination and eagerness.

Xiao Taozi was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, perhaps we can start by reducing the expenses of the harem. Simplifying the etiquette and reducing the luxurious decorations will definitely save a lot of money."

Xiao Shunzi immediately chimed in, "I think we can also emphasize the importance of harem harmony to the Emperor's governance of the country, and let the ministers understand that this is not just a trivial matter of the harem, but a matter of the stability of the entire dynasty."

Concubine Su listened to everyone's suggestions, nodded frequently, and gradually formed clear ideas and thoughts in her mind.

Upon hearing this, the confined queen snorted coldly in her cold palace, her face showing disdain: "That fellow really overestimates his own abilities. How can she change the rules passed down by our ancestors at her will?"

In the days that followed, Concubine Su buried herself in ancient texts day and night, carefully searching for past precedents. She also personally drafted memorials, carefully weighing each word, striving to accurately and forcefully express her views. She also secretly sent people out of the palace to inquire among the people about their views on the current situation in the harem, hoping to obtain more persuasive evidence to support her views.

At the same time, Concubine Su also made sure to win over those concubines who held higher positions within the palace but were dissatisfied with the status quo. She personally held private conversations with these concubines, such as Concubine Liu Xian. After dismissing her attendants, Concubine Su took Concubine Liu's hand and whispered softly, "Sister Concubine Liu Xian, you and I have been in this palace for quite some time. We both know the hardships of these many rules best. These reforms are intended to make life more comfortable for you and me. Would you be willing to lend a hand?" Concubine Liu Xian hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

For example, Concubine Li, Su Guifei presented her treasured jewelry and said earnestly: "Sister Li, I know you are always smart. If the harem can be reformed, you will definitely benefit. I hope you will share the same aspirations."

The entire palace was brightly lit all night long. Concubine Su and everyone else worked together, giving their all for this difficult change and not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Two days had already passed since the three-day deadline, and Concubine Su was incredibly busy. During these two days, she buried herself in a mountain of books and materials, carefully sorting through the evidence and information she had gathered from various sources, while also constantly on guard against the various forces within the harem.

Seeing Noble Concubine Su's active promotion of reform, jealousy and resentment grew like wild weeds among the concubines who opposed the reforms. Concubine Ning was the leader. She, relying on her seniority within the palace, repeatedly and maliciously slandered Noble Concubine Su in front of the other concubines. "Hmph, Noble Concubine Su takes herself too seriously, vainly attempting to break ancestral rules. She's simply the culprit of the harem!" Concubine Ning's shrill voice echoed throughout the palace. While many concubines might not agree with her, they dared not openly refute her.

One day, Noble Consort Su and Noble Consort Ning met by chance in the Imperial Garden. Noble Consort Ning glanced at Noble Consort Su and said sarcastically, "Noble Consort Su, your constant troublemaking has irritated His Majesty." Noble Consort Su remained calm, smiling faintly, a sharp glint in her eyes. "My dear sister, are you so worried? Are you afraid that your position will be jeopardized after the reform? Or are you just used to these old ways and unwilling to make progress?" Noble Consort Su's sudden question made Noble Consort Ning's face turn pale and red, her lips trembling. "You... you're talking nonsense!" Unable to respond, she could only angrily walk away.

The concubines who supported Concubine Su's reforms were not all united. Some outwardly supported them, but secretly pursued their own agenda, seeking to profit from the reforms. For example, Concubine Zhen, while pledging her full support to Concubine Su, secretly sought to co-opt the other concubines, attempting to gain control of the newly established gathering places. Concubine Su knew this well, and at a private gathering, she calmly stated, "This reform is for the peace of the entire harem. If everyone works together, the benefits will be unavoidable. However, if anyone seeks to exploit this for personal gain, and His Majesty blames them, even sisterly love will be jeopardized." Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhen paled and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Meanwhile, the ministers at court were also busy. Those opposed to the reforms filed petitions with the emperor, fiercely accusing Concubine Su of heresy and destabilizing the nation. "Your Majesty, matters concerning the harem are subject to the laws of our ancestors and cannot be violated. Concubine Su's actions are utterly condemned by the world and must not be tolerated!" they cried passionately in the court, as if Concubine Su's reforms would bring about a catastrophe.

Ministers who supported the reform argued forcefully, citing successful examples of harem reforms in previous dynasties to demonstrate their benefits. "Your Majesty, times have changed, and the old system may not be suitable for today. Proper harem reform will benefit both the royal family and the court." The two sides argued endlessly in the court, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Concubine Su knew this final day was crucial. She carefully reviewed the memorials and documents she had prepared, poring over every word, ensuring every point was well-founded and every suggestion was feasible. That night, Concubine Su lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Gazing out the window at the moonlight, she silently prayed that her efforts would be recognized by the emperor and bring about real change in the harem.
