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

Concubine Rou clenched her hands into fists. In just one month, Zhou Lingge was about to surpass all the other concubines.

Which woman would not be jealous and hate such a charming beauty who seduced the emperor?

The Queen Mother slowly stepped down from the imperial carriage.

Qin Feiling and Zhou Shiya carefully supported the empress dowager on both sides and stepped into the palace gate.

The Queen Mother wore a gorgeous phoenix robe, embroidered with intricate phoenix patterns that looked lifelike, as if ready to take flight at any moment. She wore a phoenix crown, inlaid with countless gems and pearls, sparkling with dazzling light.

Her face is kind and majestic. Time has left a faint mark on her face, but it cannot conceal her former beauty and noble temperament. Her eyes are deep and wise, and the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned with a faint smile, which makes people feel her amiable.

Everyone knelt down and said, "We pay our respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager live in peace and happiness."

The Queen Mother looked at the people kneeling on the ground and said with a smile, "Please excuse the formalities. Why mobilize so many people? I originally wanted to return to the palace quietly..."

Zhou Shiya smiled gently, "The Empress Dowager went to pray for the great Jin Dynasty. I and your servants were of no help. Now that the Empress Dowager has returned, how can we not welcome her and give her a warm welcome?"

The Queen Mother smiled kindly. She patted the back of Zhou Shiya's hand and asked with concern: "The Queen is pregnant now, so don't tire yourself out. If you can't spare the energy to handle some things, just hand them over to others..."

Zhou Shiya replied respectfully, "Yes, the affairs of the palace were previously handed over to Concubine Shu and Li... Li promised. Now that Li promised has been demoted... I can only let Concubine Rou take the trouble to help Concubine Shu handle the palace affairs."

Concubine Rou bowed and said, "It is my great honor."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of doubt: "Li agreed?"

Concubine Shu's eyes flickered as she quickly replied, "Concubine Li used witchcraft to frame Concubine Jia... and that's why His Majesty demoted her to Concubine."

The Queen Mother's smile faded, and she turned to look at Qin Feiling: "Empress Jia?"

"How come I didn't know when a new Concubine Jia appeared in the harem?"

"Where is Concubine Jia?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lingge immediately stepped out and knelt respectfully in front of the empress dowager.

"Your humble servant pays homage to the Empress Dowager."

A hint of surprise flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes as she stared blankly at the beautiful woman crawling at her feet.

She turned her head and looked at Zhou Shiya: "Is this Concubine Jia? Why does she look so familiar to me?"

Zhou Shiya immediately replied, "To answer your mother, Concubine Jia is my concubine's sister. A month ago, I was diagnosed with pregnancy, so I petitioned His Majesty to summon Concubine Jia to the palace to accompany me during my pregnancy. Who would have thought... who would have thought..."

At the end of the conversation, she found it difficult to speak and lowered her head in shame.

The Queen Mother raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but chuckle: "Who would have thought that your concubine sister would catch the Emperor's eye and be made his concubine?"

"In just one month, she went from being a concubine to a consort... Consort Jia's path has been incredibly smooth."

Qin Feiling immediately explained, "Actually, I've always had a crush on Concubine Jia, but because she's the Queen's half-sister, I gave up on that thought. Who knew that one day, the Queen invited me to Fengluan Palace? I drank a little too much, and when I woke up... I was already having sex with Concubine Jia."

"Of course, I cannot be irresponsible. For the sake of the Zhou family and the Queen, I made her a concubine. The reason why I made her a concubine so quickly was because she protected the Emperor. A wicked slave tried to assassinate me, but it was thanks to Concubine Jia that she stepped in front and protected me. I didn't suffer any injuries, but she was stabbed in the shoulder blade."

"She is such a weak woman, but her heart and eyes are full of me. She is willing to die for me. I am really moved. If it weren't for the consideration of the concubines in the harem, it would be reasonable to make her a noble concubine."

After he said that, he looked at Zhou Lingge gently and asked Qiaoer to help her up.

Then, he recounted to the Queen Mother in detail how Concubine Li had used witchcraft to frame Zhou Lingge last night.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Qin Feiling with a gloomy look.

"So, it's reasonable for you to make her a consort. Li Da Ying is also incredibly bold. She actually dared to use witchcraft to frame Concubine Jia..."

She couldn't help but sigh.

She thought of the eldest princess, and her eyes softened again.

"Ah... no matter what, Li promised to give birth to your first child, and she is now your only royal heir. Even if she did something wrong, you shouldn't punish her so severely."

"She is an old woman who has been by your side since you were the Crown Prince... How could you demote her from a concubine to a concubine? The eldest princess is still so young, and you want her to leave her biological mother? Do you think it is appropriate?"

Qin Feiling still respected the Queen Mother, so he walked down the stairs. "Her words and actions were outrageous, and what she did was too terrible. If she is not severely punished, I am afraid that she will not be able to convince the public. If she behaves herself in the future, I will gradually pardon her."

The Queen Mother's expression finally eased a little.

She asked all the concubines in the palace to leave. She was a little tired, so she went back to the Cining Palace to rest.

Zhou Lingge and other concubines all withdrew respectfully.

However... when she turned around, she suddenly saw a woman with an extremely extraordinary temperament and wearing a moon-white dress walking up to the empress dowager from the crowd of attendants.

The Queen Mother smiled warmly, took the woman's hand, and looked at Qin Feiling.

The woman looked at Qin Feiling shyly and slowly leaned over to salute him.

Qin Feiling didn't react at all and responded very calmly.

The Queen Mother asked Zhou Shiya to return to the palace to rest and take good care of herself.

She only asked Qin Feiling to take her back to Cining Palace.

Zhou Shiya stared at the face of the woman the empress dowager was holding. A dark light flashed in her eyes. This woman had an extraordinary temperament and seemed to exude an air of fairy from head to toe.

She was not wearing any makeup, and just standing there in a white dress made people feel refreshed and as if she were floating in the air.

Such a special woman.

Not to mention men, even she felt her heart beating fast at a glance.

Zhou Lingge was charming and enchanting, like a fairy who could captivate people. But this woman... was actually a fairy who could help people ascend to immortality.

A goblin, a fairy!

Two extremes!

They are completely different types, but they can bring the most extreme shock and freshness to men.

Zhou Shiya raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Feiling.

Qin Feiling's expression was calm. He was usually very serious, so it was hard to guess what he was thinking.

But he shouldn't reject this woman either.

Zhou Shiya pursed her lips and leaned over to respectfully see Queen Mother Qin Feiling off.

This time, Zhou Lingge has met a strong opponent.

Ginger is still spicy after all!

The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all. Although she is not in the palace, she seems to know everything that happens in the palace.

She brought such a woman into the palace. Can Zhou Lingge still jump around?
