The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Ji Wuyuan paused holding the teacup, then he put it down, his nonchalant look gone.

He looked at Jiang Wantang with a deep gaze, and tapped his hands lightly on the desk. The dull knocking sound was intermittent, but very intimidating.

The latter remains indifferent.

The people present were so frightened that they dared not even utter a sound.

After a long while, Ji Wuyuan said calmly, "Give me flowers."

For a moment, everyone in the hall was stunned, especially Wang Fuhai.

Then he looked at Jiang Wantang and felt it was natural.

But no one expected that the emperor's first "gift of flowers" would come so quickly and so suddenly.

Wang Fuhai recovered from his surprise and immediately read aloud: "Jiang Wantang, daughter of Prime Minister Jiang Zhixu, is given flowers!"

Jiang Wantang withdrew her gaze, bowed, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

There was a hint of smile in her affectionate peach blossom eyes, showing the girl's shyness and surprise just right.

Ji Wuyuan looked at her innocent smile and frowned unconsciously.

Obviously, the simple and weak little white rabbit is not his favorite prey.

Especially when he heard the words "Prime Minister Jiang Zhixu", the light in Ji Wuyuan's eyes dimmed even more.

Afterwards, the palace maid took a bright and juicy peony flower from the flower basket and pinned it on Jiang Wantang's head.

Seeing this, Concubine Qi, who was sitting to his lower left, gnashed her teeth in jealousy.

Especially when I saw Jiang Wantang's face, I wanted to go up and scratch her.

The concubines waiting outside the palace saw that all the concubines from the first group had stayed, and some had even been given flowers by the emperor. They began to feel a little nervous and excited...

However, the subsequent audition went very quickly and ended in less than an hour.

Only sixty beauties were selected, and the others who were not chosen were sent out of the palace.

Except for Jiang Wantang, no other concubine was personally questioned by Ji Wuyuan in the hall, and no one was given flowers.

Just when everyone thought that Jiang Wantang's position was definitely the highest among them, the decree of enthronement had already been issued.

The highest-ranking among these beauties was Zhao Shujia, the legitimate daughter of Duke Zhao, who was named Concubine Jia.

The much-anticipated Jiang Wantang was only given the title of beauty and was granted the residence of Yongchun Palace, the farthest palace from the emperor's bedroom.

Anyone familiar with the imperial palace knows that Yongchun Palace is adjacent to the Cold Palace.

It seems that this stunning beauty will fall out of favor as soon as she enters the palace.

For a moment, those eyes that were envious and jealous not long ago suddenly turned into gloating.

So what if you are beautiful and have a good family background?

In this harem, all the women rely on the emperor. If they are not favored, they are as lowly as mud and can be trampled upon by anyone.

Jiang Wantang just smiled at their looks, whether sympathetic or gloating.

The fun has just begun.

And those who had wanted to get close to Jiang Wantang and establish a good relationship with her before were now gathered around Zhao Shujia warmly.

Praising the powerful and bullying the weak is the norm everywhere, and it is especially evident in the harem.

Zhao Shujia was indeed a lady from a famous family. She was dignified and generous, and was able to get along with everyone. She quickly became friends with them and treated them like sisters.

Someone flattered: "Sister Jiafei, you are obviously a blessed person, no wonder you are valued by His Majesty!"

Someone echoed: "Yes, Concubine Jia was born in the Duke's Mansion. She is gentle, virtuous, and talented. She is a real noble lady from a noble family."

"..."

Everyone was trying to flatter Zhao Shujia, but Zhang Cairen was the only one who openly praised one and criticized the other, creating hatred.

She sneered disdainfully, "Unlike some people who appear to be from a prime minister's mansion but are actually from the countryside, they only have beauty, so it's no wonder that His Majesty looks down on them..."

Before Zhang Cairen could finish her words, Jiang Wantang slapped her hard in the face.

How dare you provoke me right in front of me? How can I tolerate this?

Zhang Cairen covered his burning face and glared at Jiang Wantang with anger and disbelief: "You, you dare to hit me?!"

With so many people watching, Zhang Cairen felt embarrassed and raised his hand to fight back to save face.

Jiang Wantang easily grabbed her wrist and slapped her again with his backhand.

Now the slap marks on both sides of Zhang Cairen's face are symmetrical.

Zhang Cairen was furious: "My father is the Minister of Justice, how dare you touch me again!"

Jiang Wantang sneered, thinking that it was Zhang Rou, the sister of the dandy Zhang Heng.

These brother and sister are both equally arrogant and unlikable.

Jiang Wantang leaned closer to Zhang Cairen and said sarcastically, "Didn't I just try it?"

"What can you do to me?"

"You! You're going too far!" Zhang Cairen's face flushed with anger as he struggled to break free from her restraints.

Jiang Wantang withdrew his hand, with an innocent smile on his face: "I didn't bully you."

"The sisters present all saw it with their own eyes. You were the one who insulted me first, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I took action..."

As she spoke, she changed the subject: "You're gossiping in front of people, isn't that asking for a beating?"

"If Zhang Cairen feels wronged, we can go before His Majesty and let him judge the case."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around gasped.

Just kidding, who would dare to bring such a trivial matter of women's bickering to the presence of the moody emperor?

Isn't this seeking death?

If the emperor gets angry, they might all be implicated.

The people who were watching the fun seemed to realize this as well, and couldn't help but blame Zhang Rou for being stupid.

Zhao Shujia quickly came out with a smile to smooth things over: "We are all new here, we are all sisters."

Then she walked up to Jiang Wantang and said with a smile, "Sister Jiang, it's true that Sister Zhang was wrong in this matter."

"Look, you've already taught her a lesson, so why not just leave it at that."

Now, Zhao Shujia has the highest position in Chuxiu Palace. She has come forward to negotiate peace, so who wouldn't give her face?

Jiang Wantang originally just wanted to scare them. She wasn't stupid enough to go to Ji Wuyuan and seek death.

Now that her goal had been achieved, she stopped there.

But just as Jiang Wantang nodded in agreement, Zhang Cairen kept on shouting, "Jiang Wantang, just wait! When I'm favored in the future, I'll be the first one to deal with you!"

I really don't know where she gets the confidence from.

Jiang Wantang couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Alright, then I wish Consort Zhang will be favored soon."

There were also a few indistinguishable chuckles coming from the surroundings, while Lin Ruoyun behind the crowd laughed out loud without any concealment.

Zhang Cairen glared at the sound, but when he saw the sturdy Lin Ruoyun, his arrogance immediately subsided...
