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

Lin Ruoyun doesn't look like someone who is easy to bully, and now she has been granted the title of concubine, her position is far above hers.

Zhang Cairen looked at everyone with red eyes: "You! You all! You all bullied me..."

Without her father's support in the palace, she was so angry that she ran out crying.

Zhao Shujia frowned as she watched. She had thought that Zhang Cairen was a smart person, but just a little domineering. Now it seemed that he was really a brainless troublemaker.

I thought to myself that I should stay away from people like this in the future to avoid getting into trouble.

However, the dispute that occurred in Chuxiu Palace was reported in detail by the palace servants to the eunuch chief Wang Fuhai.

The imperial study was filled with the faint scent of ambergris.

Ji Wuyuan was reviewing the memorials on the table when Wang Fuhai stepped forward, bent over, and whispered something in his ear.

"Are we going to fight now?" Ji Wuyuan sneered, his face showing disdain.

Wang Fuhai smiled and said, "Yes, I heard that the one who beat him up was the Lady Jiang, to whom you gave flowers today."

"Oh~" Ji Wuyuan raised his eyebrows, and became interested, "It's her..."

"It seems this isn't some innocent little white rabbit, but more like a ferocious little wild cat!"

Wang Fuhai said, "These concubines have just entered the palace and they dare to make trouble. Your Majesty, do you think you should send someone to teach them a lesson?"

Ji Wuyuan sneered coldly, saying, "Why bother with them? Even if they really killed someone, so what?"

"This harem has been like a stagnant pool for a long time. It's time to liven it up."

"Your Majesty, with the newcomer entering the palace, I'm afraid some people will become even more restless." Wang Fuhai continued.

Ji Wuyuan twitched his lips and said sarcastically, "Yeah, the fun has just begun..."

Wang Fuhai understood instantly and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Just as he was about to leave, he heard Ji Wuyuan order: "Send someone to investigate the background of this Lady Jiang."

"Also, send someone to keep an eye on her."

Wang Fuhai accepted the order: "I will go right away."

……

Inside the Cining Palace, the air was filled with the aroma of incense.

Empress Dowager Qi leaned against the rosewood carved lacquer Arhat couch, half-closed her eyes, looked at the final list of concubines, and couldn't help frowning.

The legitimate daughter of Duke Zhao, Zhao Shujia, was seventeen years old and was granted the title of First-Rank Consort Jia.

Wang Guilan, the sixteen-year-old daughter of Wang Anping, the Minister of Justice, was granted the title of a fourth-rank beauty.

General Lin's daughter, Lin Ruoyun, was eighteen years old and was granted the title of Chongrong of the second rank.

Jiang Wantang, the daughter of Prime Minister Jiang Zhixu, was sixteen years old and was granted the title of fourth-rank beauty.

The daughter of the Minister of Revenue, Xia Changqing, was fifteen years old and was granted the title of a third-rank concubine.

Zhang Rou, the daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, was fifteen years old and was granted the title of Fifth Rank Talent.

……

After reading it, Empress Dowager Qi sneered, "It really is a hundred flowers blooming..."

Everyone knows that the harem is now without a master, and the emperor has no children. The thoughts of all officials are obvious, including the emperor.

Looking at this booklet, I'm afraid all the prominent noble ladies in Shengjing City are here.

Nanny Sun squatted down beside Empress Dowager Qi, massaging her calf and soothing her: "Relax, Empress Dowager. The harem is now under the control of our Qi family. Even if a new person enters the palace, it won't cause any trouble."

Empress Dowager Qi's gaze was still fixed on the list of concubines. She sighed, "You don't understand the emperor's mind."

"He is no longer the emperor who needed Aijia and Qijia's ceremonial guards two years ago!"

"It's probably not that easy for these beautiful ladies to enter the palace."

There are very few noble ladies from aristocratic families on the list who are related to the Qi family, and even the few that exist are of very low status.

On the contrary, the daughters of officials who were highly valued by the emperor, such as Duke Zhao, General Lin, and the Minister of Revenue, all held high positions.

This move is Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knows it.

Her "good son" did not hide his intention to suppress the Qi family at all.

Nanny Sun said, "But at least, His Majesty is willing to enter the harem this time and expand the royal family."

"Humph," Empress Dowager Qi snorted coldly, "So what?"

"After all, he will not let his child come out of my Qi family's belly."

When this was mentioned, the expression on Nanny Sun's face became serious.

Although the highest-ranking concubine in the harem today is Qi Rong, the eldest daughter of the Qi family, the emperor has never favored her.

This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Qi family.

In addition, the emperor was not born to Empress Dowager Qi, and the relationship between mother and son became increasingly cold over time.

Especially during this period, with the matter of Qi Gui, the second branch of the Qi family, the emperor was obviously thinking of severely punishing the Qi family.

Nanny Sun looked at Empress Dowager Qi's furrowed brow and said cautiously, "Your Majesty is kind and filial. He often comes to the Cining Palace to pay his respects to you when he is free. Is there something..."

"His kindness and filial piety are all for the world to see!" Empress Dowager Qi suddenly became angry and interrupted Nanny Sun.

"Inhyo?"

"If he is truly kind and filial, would he be so ruthless in suppressing my Qi family?"

"Only two years after ascending the throne, he used ruthless and thunderous means to seize power like a wolf or a tiger. Now, apart from the Ministry of Justice, there is no place for my Qi family!"

"Sure enough, if it's not from me, then the heart must be different."

"He is an ungrateful wolf who can never be tamed!"

"I think his next move is to eliminate my Qi family!"

"If I had known this would happen, I would never have supported him to take the throne!"

Nanny Su trembled with fear and knelt on the ground, saying in panic, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It was my fault for speaking out of turn."

"That's it, get up."

Empress Dowager Qi closed the list of concubines in her hand and said coldly, "If he wants to, he still has to ask me if I agree."

"Do you really think that recruiting some beautiful ladies into the palace can stir up any trouble?"

"Hmph, let's go and see for ourselves!"

……

The day after the selection is over, the selected beauties will move into their assigned bedrooms.

When Eunuch Lin from the Imperial Household Department led Jiang Wantang to Yongchun Palace, Xiuzhu and Yunshang were already waiting at the palace gate.

In addition to the two of them, the Imperial Household Department also assigned Jiang Wantang several palace maids and eunuchs according to their positions.

"Thank you, Eunuch Lin." Jiang Wantang nodded.

Seeing this, Yun Shang stuffed a heavy purse into Eunuch Lin's hand.

There are gold ingots in the purse.

Eunuch Lin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought to himself that she was indeed a lady from a noble family in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she was very generous.

Taking another look at her appearance and temperament, I became even more enthusiastic.

Because Jiang Wantang's face is so beautiful, even all the beauties in the harem combined cannot surpass her beauty.

Such a wonderful person is definitely not an ordinary person.

Eunuch Lin's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and he said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, your honor and favor are still to come."

After receiving the benefits, Eunuch Lin enthusiastically explained the situation in the palace to Jiang Wantang one by one.

In addition to the new group of beautiful women who entered the palace, there were also quite a few concubines in the palace. Some of them were the daughters of ministers who had made great contributions to Ji Wuyuan when he first ascended the throne, and the rest were beauties who had been sent into the palace from all over the place in the past two years.

Because the emperor was always busy with state affairs and not interested in women, they were not favored.

Even so, there are two people among them who should not be provoked.

One is Concubine Qi Rong. She has the support of the Qi family and Empress Dowager Qi. As soon as she entered the palace, she was named Concubine. Until now, no one has been able to surpass her position. She is also the most arrogant and domineering one in the harem.

No matter how spoiled a beauty was, once she entered the palace, her temper would be smoothed down by her. For this reason, many concubines fell at her hands.
