I am favored by the tyrant, so what if I am vicious?

Qiluo Palace.

Concubine Jiang sat in front of the dressing table, combing her hair slowly and methodically.

She pulled her black hair and lowered her head in thought.

The pair of originally beautiful eyes were now stained with dark blue, and the face looked haggard and pale.

The trusted palace maid's eyes were filled with joy as she flattered him, "Your Majesty, you worked so hard last night. Your Majesty is really so shameless. He doesn't know how to be gentle with women... Look at your haggard face. You must have not slept a wink last night, right?"

She was happy in her heart. Although the queen's eyes were dark and haggard, it was all due to the grace of being favored by His Majesty. A few days ago, she saw Jiapin also like the queen.

Now that Jiapin's unique favor has fallen on the Empress, everyone in the Qiluo Palace is extremely excited and happy.

Concubine Jiang's eyes flickered and she seemed to be hesitant to speak... In fact, she didn't sleep with the emperor last night.

How could she dare to say this out loud?

The next moment, the head palace maid Zi Yan came in happily from outside carrying food.

"Have you finished washing up, Madam? You must be hungry, right? This morning's meal is very rich, Madam will definitely like it."

Concubine Jiang sat down at the dining table. She looked at the exquisite bird's nests displayed on the table, and a hint of surprise welled up in her eyes.

"This bird's nest is of excellent quality...it's even better than the ones I've eaten before. Zi Yan, did the imperial kitchen give this to me?"

Zi Yan's eyes were filled with pride as she served Concubine Jiang her meal. "This bird's nest was snatched from the maids of Yuanchen Palace. Not only this bird's nest, but even these exquisite meals belong to Concubine Jia. You really wouldn't know until you snatch them away... Concubine Jia's meals are so exquisite. I really feel unfair for the Concubine. You and Concubine Jia are both concubines, so why should Concubine Jia eat better than the Concubine?"

"Besides, Your Majesty worked so hard serving His Majesty last night, so what if she stole Jiapin's meal? Isn't this what Your Majesty should enjoy? Jiapin has fallen out of favor now, she certainly wouldn't dare to make a big deal about this matter... Humph, no matter how arrogant she was before, now she has to keep her tail between her legs."

Concubine Jiang was very surprised and a little nervous at first.

But after hearing what she said later, she felt that what Zi Yan said made sense.

The quality of bird's nest can sometimes be divided into good and bad.

She had never tasted such high-quality and delicious bird's nest before.

Concubine Jiang felt a little unfair. They were both concubines, his majesty's concubines, and had both been favored by the emperor. Why should Concubine Jia be higher than her and enjoy better than her?

She and Jiapin had the same rank as each other, and she entered the palace earlier than Jiapin.

His Majesty also came to Qiluo Palace last night and rewarded her with many things. She believed that His Majesty was satisfied with her and liked her.

Otherwise, with so many concubines in the harem, why did Your Majesty choose to enter her Qiluo Palace?

She is in the emperor's favor now... Unless Jiapin is a fool, she will never make a fuss over such trivial matters.

After Concubine Jiang understood this, she started drinking bird's nest with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, just after she took a sip, she heard a loud commotion outside.

Concubine Jiang frowned and looked at Zi Yan: "What's going on outside?"

Zi Yan had a hot temper, so she rolled up her sleeves and walked out. "Who was making such a fuss just now? I'll tear your little hooves' mouths apart..."

Zhou Lingge had a cold face and led his men into the Qiluo Palace.

The palace maids of Qiluo Palace couldn't stop her at all.

When she looked up, she saw an arrogant and powerful palace maid walking out of the hall.

She turned her head to look at Jin Xin and asked, "Is it her?"

Jin Xin nodded quickly: "Yes, it's her. Her name is Zi Yan, and she is the head maid beside Concubine Jiang."

Zhou Lingge curled her lips and smiled. She looked at Qiao'er and said, "Go, tie her up for me."

Qiao'er moved quickly and went towards Zi Yan with two maids.

Before Zi Yan could react, her hands and feet were tied up by two maids.

Her eyes were filled with astonishment, and she looked at Qiao'er in disbelief: "You, what are you doing?"

"Why did you tie me up? Are you crazy? I'm the head maidservant of Concubine Jiang..."

Qiao Er couldn't help herself and slapped her in the face: "Shut up! How dare you snatch my queen's breakfast and hit someone from Yuanchen Palace? Are you tired of living?"

This slap completely stunned Zi Yan.

Zhou Lingge walked straight into the inner hall, and she saw Concubine Jiang sitting at the dining table, already stunned.

She sneered and walked to the dining table with a twist of her waist.

She picked up the bird's nest that had been taken a few sips from the table and, without blinking, splashed it fiercely on Concubine Jiang's cheek: "You like to snatch other people's bird's nest to drink, don't you? Today, I will let you drink as much as you want."

"Ah..." Concubine Jiang screamed. She had no time to dodge and the slightly hot bird's nest splashed on her face.

There was a burning pain that came over me.

Bird's nest fell from her face and stained the lapels of her palace dress... Concubine Jiang was in a terrible state.

She looked at Zhou Lingge in a daze: "Are you crazy?"

Zhou Lingge sneered and threw all the breakfast on the table at Concubine Jiang.

Concubine Jiang's eyes were full of panic, and she quickly stood up and dodged.

"Jiapin, you are too arrogant and domineering... You are too bullying. I... I want to go to the Emperor and ask the Empress to make the decision for me."

After Zhou Lingge smashed things up like crazy, the depression in his heart gradually dissipated.

She grabbed Concubine Jiang's collar and wiped her hands elegantly on her clothes.

"You were the one who provoked me first... This is the price you pay for provoking me. Don't think... Just because you've received the Emperor's favor once, you can allow the palace maids to dominate me."

"Go ahead and file a complaint, seek justice... I won't stop you."

She looked into Concubine Jiang's eyes, which were devoid of any warmth.

It was cold and merciless, and the chill made Concubine Jiang shiver uncontrollably.

She suddenly became timid and did not dare to make trouble to His Majesty and the Queen.

This Jiapin is a lunatic.

She just hoped that Jiapin would leave quickly after her madness... She didn't want to get entangled with this lunatic any longer.

"Jiapin... We're both concubines, but the quality of your meals is better than mine. My servants were also speaking up for me, so I made a mistake in a moment of confusion. You've beaten me and smashed things. You should be able to calm down now, right?"

Zhou Lingge looked at Concubine Jiang's cowardly appearance, her eyes full of contempt.

"I'm still angry. This is just the beginning..."

She pushed Concubine Jiang away, threw off her robe, and found a place to sit.

She bent her slender white fingers slightly and tapped lightly on the table, looking up at Jin Xin who looked uneasy.

"Whoever hits you, I will hit you back ten times over."

"If you don't dare to make a move, then don't return to Yuanchen Palace. I don't keep useless people."

Jin Xin's body trembled. She clenched her fists, mustered up her courage, and walked in front of Zi Yan.

Zi Yan was furious. She had a very hot temper to begin with, so how could she tolerate such a great humiliation? She didn't dare to curse Zhou Lingge, but instead yelled at Jin Xin frantically: "Jin Xin, you idiot, you can't beat me, so you go to complain and ask for help... Why are you such a loser..."
