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

Zhou Lingge stared at the figure of the woman in the white dress, and a name suddenly popped up in his mind.

Ye Wanxi!

A female doctor of some fame in Dajin.

She remembered that in her previous life, Ye Wanxi seemed to have saved the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother also brought her into the palace.

Concubine Rou noticed that Zhou Lingge was staring at the strange woman. She turned her eyes slightly and walked quietly to Zhou Lingge's side.

She spoke in a low voice, emphasizing each word, "This woman seems to be a female doctor from Jianghu, named Ye Wanxi... The Queen Mother caught a cold two weeks ago, and her condition was quite serious. The accompanying imperial physician was helpless. Ye Wanxi happened to live in the Buddhist temple where the Queen Mother stayed, and by chance, she prescribed a dose of medicine for the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother drank the medicine and her condition quickly recovered..."

"The Empress Dowager admired her medical skills and recruited her to accompany her. For the past two weeks, Ye Wanxi has been serving the Empress Dowager every step of the way. The Empress Dowager likes her very much and brought her back with her this time. I heard that the Empress Dowager is interested in Ye Wanxi entering the palace as a concubine... It seems that the imperial decree has been drafted to make her Consort Wan."

Concubine Shu gritted her teeth secretly and couldn't help but sneer, "Now there's another vixen... Oh, this harem is really getting more and more exciting. I heard that soon... His Majesty will hold another beauty pageant."

"The women in this harem are really one after another. After one batch is cut off, the next batch can't wait to pop up again."

She almost crushed the handkerchief in her hand.

Now that Ye Wanxi has the Queen Mother's support, even if His Majesty doesn't like it, he has to give the Queen Mother some face. In any case, this woman will definitely receive a lot of favor in the harem in the future.

Zhou Lingge alone has already monopolized His Majesty's favor, and now another one has come to share his favor.

The more Concubine Shu thought about it, the more depressed she felt.

She glared at Zhou Lingge viciously and cursed, "They're all vixens."

Yan'er supported Concubine Shu and left without looking back.

Roupin sighed helplessly: "Shufei is just like that. Jiafei, please don't bother with her."

"There aren't many old people left in the palace now. The Queen Mother has supported new women to enter the palace... We old people are fine, we're used to His Majesty's neglect. But you, Concubine Jia, are different. You're the new favorite, so don't let Ye Wanxi take away your favor."

She smiled gently, bowed and said goodbye after saying this.

Roupin's last words seemed to be a reminder, but in fact they were a provocation.

How could Zhou Lingge not hear it?

Concubine Rou deliberately aroused Zhou Lingge's jealousy and let her compete with Ye Wanxi.

By then, the two new favorites will be fighting fiercely...both will suffer losses, and she will be the one who benefits!

Zhou Lingge couldn't help but chuckle: "After going through so much, do they still think that I'm a brainless concubine?"

“Oh…how ridiculous!”

Since Ye Wanxi has the Queen Mother behind her, she would not be so foolish as to openly challenge Ye Wanxi and offend the Queen Mother.

The empress dowager's deterrent power is unmatched, whether in the harem or the front court.

Even if Qin Feiling is the emperor, he still has to observe some filial piety... The word "filial piety" has always been a huge mountain weighing on people's heads that they dare not cross.

As the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, he must be filial and respectful to the empress dowager and set a good example for the people of the world.

Zhou Lingge was very clear about her situation. She could never confront the Queen Mother head-on with her previous aggressive attitude.

She is now an egg and the Queen Mother is a stone. How can an egg defeat a stone?

To deal with the Queen Mother, you have to use gentle tactics!

She wants to be more cunning than just being silly and taunting.

She must divert the fire somewhere else!

She also wants to be the fisherman who benefits from the conflict between the snipe and the clam.

Zhou Lingge curled her lips, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes.

I already have a rough idea in my mind.

-

The Cining Palace is a magnificent palace filled with carved beams and painted buildings, and every detail embodies the majesty and dignity of the imperial family. The palace is exquisitely decorated, with ornate carpets covering the floors, exquisite furniture arranged throughout, and precious calligraphy, paintings, and antiques hanging on the walls.

In the center of the Cining Palace, there is a huge phoenix chair inlaid with various gems and pearls, shining with brilliant light.

The palace maids, dressed in gorgeous attire, stood respectfully by. Qin Feiling supported the empress dowager into the inner hall and helped her sit on the phoenix chair. The palace maids served exquisite tea and snacks, and the empress dowager asked everyone to leave.

Ye Wanxi glanced at Qin Feiling and then she retreated as well.

The only two people left in the entire hall were the Queen Mother and Qin Feiling.

The Queen Mother held the teacup in her hand and looked at Qin Feiling, who was sitting next to her wearing a dragon robe and exuding the aura of an emperor.

The corners of her mouth, which were originally raised, suddenly fell down.

She placed the teacup heavily on the table, and her eyes instantly became cold as ice.

"Kneel down."

Qin Feiling stood up without saying a word, lifted up his dragon robe, and knelt on the ground.

The Queen Mother pursed her lips and stared at Qin Feiling coldly: "Emperor, have you forgotten the admonitions of the late emperor?"

Qin Feiling raised his eyes and replied calmly, "I, your son, have never forgotten my father's last wish."

The Queen Mother threw the teacup on the table down fiercely.

"is it?"

"Then what's going on in the harem this past month with all the chaos and chaos? In just one month, out of the original dozen or so concubines, how many are left now? Some are dead, some are banished to the cold palace... You can count all the concubines in the palace on one hand now."

"Looking back at the harems of all dynasties, no emperor has ever had as few concubines as you. If you didn't know, you might have thought you were so averse to women that you were about to become a monk. You've been on the throne for five years, and your only child is a princess."

"With so few heirs in the harem, how can we appease the people and revive the government? I've lived in a Buddhist temple for the past two months. Do you know how many rumors I've heard? Without a legitimate son, without an heir, the people's hearts will gradually become unstable. Qin Feiling, do you want to watch the country totter and the world in chaos?"

The Queen Mother's words were very serious, almost putting the entire country and the people on Qin Feiling's shoulders.

He lowered his eyes, a faint light glimmering in them.

He didn't say a word in defense, but just listened respectfully.

"Your Majesty, you are right to reprimand me. I have failed you."

"Now that the Empress is pregnant with a legitimate son, Concubine Liu's pregnancy is stable, and the second selection of candidates is also on the agenda. I understand the responsibilities I have to shoulder, and I will never let my father down."

The Queen Mother's expression gradually softened.

She slapped him and gave Qin Feiling a sweet date.

She slowly stood up and helped him up personally: "My queen mother is not an unreasonable person. My queen mother can see that you treat Concubine Jia differently. The emperor is also flesh and blood, with his own emotions and desires... I will not stop you from favoring Concubine Jia, but Ling'er... you have to distinguish between favor and love..."
