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

Wang Fuhai watched from afar, stunned the whole time, not daring to breathe. He thought she was just an ordinary little character in the harem, but now it seems that His Majesty treats her differently.

Jiang Wantang finally returned to Yongchun Palace in Ji Wuyuan's imperial carriage.

However, as soon as she arrived, Wang Fuhai walked in with the imperial edict and a large group of palace servants.

There was heavy rain in the morning, but the sky cleared up in the afternoon, and birds chirped and flapped their wings on the treetops.

Jiang Wantang was about to kneel down to receive the decree, but Wang Fuhai stepped forward to support her and said with a smile, "His Majesty has said that the beauty is ill and there is no need to kneel down to receive the decree."

She was stunned for a moment, then saw Wang Fuhai slowly unfold the imperial edict and read aloud: "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that the beautiful Jiang is virtuous, gentle, dignified, and graceful. Since entering the palace, she has been gentle, respectful, and obedient, deeply gaining the Emperor's favor. I hereby appoint her as a Third Rank Concubine and grant her residence in Changle Palace. I decree this."

I have to say that this imperial edict is quite direct. Although the promotion of concubines in the harem is ultimately a favor, there is always a pretext.

For example, if she is pregnant with an heir to the throne, if her family has made great contributions, or if she celebrates a festival or festival...

As for the statement of "deeply winning the emperor's favor", it is very Ji Wuyuan's style.

Wang Fuhai bowed and said with a smile, "Jiang Jieyu, please accept the order."

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace." Jiang Wantang took the imperial edict with both hands.

Wang Fuhai continued, "His Majesty has also given you many other gifts, which will be delivered to the Changle Palace for Her Majesty later."

Jiang Wantang smiled and said, "Thank you, eunuch."

Then, Yun Shang smiled and stepped forward, stuffing a bag of gold into Wang Fuhai's sleeve. She said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch. This is a small gift from our queen. I hope you will accept it."

Wang Fuhai left with a smile.

On the way back to report, he touched the heavy bag of gold in his sleeve and thought to himself, Concubine Jiang really knows how to manipulate people's hearts. No wonder she is so favored by His Majesty.

In Yongchun Palace, Xiuzhu and Yunshang, along with several palace maids and eunuchs, happily went to pack up their things, leaving Jiang Wantang standing alone in the courtyard.

She lowered her eyes to look at the bright yellow imperial edict in her hand, a slightly sarcastic smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

If you don't risk it today, you will be bullied and beaten for the rest of your life.

In the harem, whether you are favored or not depends entirely on the emperor's mood.

Rather than right or wrong.

Grace is only a temporary honor, while rights are a lifelong guarantee.

Soon, the news of Jiang Wantang's title spread to every corner of the harem.

When Concubine Qi heard the news, she was so angry that she smashed everything she could in Chonghua Palace. In the end, she was still not satisfied and fainted from anger.

Changle Palace is the palace closest to the emperor's bedroom, Taiji Palace, in the harem, and is also the palace where only the favorite concubines of all dynasties are qualified to live.

Jiang Wantang moved from the farthest Yongchun Palace to the nearest Changle Palace. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was truly favored by the emperor this time.

Otherwise, a little beauty would be sentenced to death just for daring to lay hands on the imperial concubine.

But she not only did not receive any punishment, but was even promoted. This was simply unheard of.

This made all the concubines envious.

Changle Palace.

When Jiang Wantang and his servants arrived, the eunuchs in charge and a group of palace maids and eunuchs were already waiting at the palace gate.

When they saw Jiang Wantang, they all smiled and stepped forward to greet her. "May your Majesty be blessed with good health. Your servants congratulate you!"

Soon after the imperial edict of enthronement was issued, all the eunuchs in charge came to curry favor with him.

This time, the smiles on their faces were much more flattering than when she first entered the palace.

It’s not that the concubine’s position is so high, but that the emperor gave Changle Palace to her.

Jiang Wantang looked at the boxes of rewards placed at the door: silks and satins, brocade clothes, gold and silver jewelry, pearls and gems, precious medicinal herbs...

I have basically all the clothes, jewelry and items that my daughter likes.

Jiang Wantang took a quick glance and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect Ji Wuyuan to be so generous.

It's a pity that there is no gold that she likes...

As for other jewelry, decorations and the like, they were all gifts from the emperor, and she couldn't exchange them for silver or money.

She was a little suspicious whether Ji Wuyuan did it on purpose.

Jiang Wantang smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, eunuchs."

"It should, it should..."

These eunuchs in charge rushed forward to help, but were all politely rejected by Jiang Wantang.

At first they thought she was just being polite, but after trying again and again, they realized that Changle Palace really had no shortage of manpower, so they continued to be polite for a while before retreating.

Peace finally returned to Changle Palace. Xiuzhu stuck out her tongue and said, "These eunuchs in charge are so quick to change their attitudes. A few days ago, I went to ask for my share of the allowance, but they ignored me. But today, they came to me personally and delivered it."

Jiang Wantang smiled slightly: "Knowing how to judge the situation is the best way to deal with things in the palace. They are very smart."

Then, she looked at the rewards and said to Xiuzhu and Yunshang, "Go and see if there's anything you like. Feel free to pick any."

Xiuzhu had never seen these things in his life, so he went to take a look happily.

Yun Shang, on the other hand, was not interested in these material possessions.

Not long after the eunuch in charge left, people from the Imperial Household Department came over again.

Seeing Jiang Wantang sitting upright on the chair, Eunuch Lin quickly stepped forward and bowed with a smile, "May your Majesty be blessed with good health. Your servant congratulates you!"

"My superiors have ordered me to come and see if there is anything you need that has not been done."

Jiang Wantang smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, eunuch. I also want to thank you for your frank advice that day."

After saying that, she took a large purse from Yun Shang's hand and placed it in Eunuch Lin's hand.

Just like last time, there was gold in the purse, but this time it was much heavier than last time.

Eunuch Lin took the purse and said with a smile, "Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty!"

"In the future, if Your Majesty needs me anywhere, I will be there for you without hesitation."

This is exactly what Jiang Wantang wanted to hear.

Afterwards, she was taken by Eunuch Lin to stroll around Changle Palace.

Changle Palace is three to five times larger than the previous Yongchun Palace. The decorations and objects inside are extremely exquisite and luxurious, with fine carvings and inlaid with gold and jade.

The walls are hung with exquisite murals and brocades, which are colorful and lifelike, and the floor is covered with precious soft carpets, which is luxurious and grand.

In the main hall's bedroom, the gauze curtains hang lightly, and the brocade quilts and embroidered blankets are soft and comfortable. On one side of the bed is a dressing table made of golden nanmu wood, with a bright and large bronze mirror and a complete set of jewelry boxes.

The windows were covered with gauze as thin as a cicada's wing, and the sunlight shone through, letting in a soft golden light...
