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

There is a small and elegant garden in the rear hall of Changle Palace, with rockery and strange rocks, and an exquisite small pond with several colorful koi playing in the pond. Pavilions and towers are scattered around, making it the perfect place to enjoy the flowers and the moon in your spare time.

After strolling around for a while, Xiuzhu and Yunshang were stunned.

As expected of a favorite concubine's palace, it exudes luxury and exquisiteness everywhere.

Unlike the previously dusty Yongchun Palace, Changle Palace was spotless and cleaned thoroughly inside and out.

It really is true that in the harem, if you are not favored, you are as lowly as mud and even servants can bully you.

Once you are in favor, even the people around you become friendly and try to curry favor with you.

……

After Concubine Qi was confined to her house, the situation in the harem immediately changed.

Empress Dowager Qi, who had declared herself ill, was "recovered" in an instant.

Since the selection began, the Imperial Hospital claimed that Empress Dowager Qi had caught a cold, so she was exempted from the routine greetings to the various palaces.

Now that she has just recovered from a serious illness, the concubines in each palace have to go to the Cining Palace every day to pay their respects and greet each other.

Ji Wuyuan exempted Jiang Wantang from all the formalities of greeting and asking for respect until her injury healed, so she didn't have to go to pay respect for the time being.

In her previous life, she had never met Empress Dowager Qi.

It is rumored that Empress Dowager Qi worshipped Buddha all year round, had a kind temperament, treated people kindly, and never made things difficult for others.

Jiang Wantang, however, felt that she was a hidden talent and definitely not a good person!

In the harem, it is not easy for anyone to reach a high position.

……

Ever since that day in Chonghua Palace, rumors began to circulate in the palace that Concubine Qi had offended His Majesty with her words and had lost his favor, while Concubine Jiang had turned a disaster into a blessing and gained His Majesty's favor.

Everyone just listened, and after listening they would sigh for a while at most, but the stupid Zhang Cairen took it to heart.

She really thought that Jiang Wantang had only offended Concubine Qi by disobeying her superiors, and then pretended to be pitiful after being beaten in order to gain the emperor's sympathy.

So she ran to Changle Palace unscrupulously to provoke Jiang Wantang, but was slapped several times by the latter and thrown out.

In the imperial study room.

Ji Wuyuan and Xie Zhiyan were playing chess when Wang Fuhai hurried in to report, "Oh, Your Majesty, Concubine Zhang is crying outside the palace with a swollen face, begging to see you. She said she went to visit Concubine Jiang out of kindness, but she slapped her several times..."

Ji Wuyuan didn't even raise his eyelids: "Go out and tell her that it's her blessing that Concubine Jiang was able to hit her even though she was seriously injured. Just let her bear it."

Wang Fuhai was dumbfounded. Is this even human language?

He couldn't even imagine how miserable Zhang Cairen would cry when he heard this...

A moment later, he hurried in again: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Li, the manager of the Imperial Garden, came to report that Concubine Jiang had all the peonies in the Imperial Garden pulled out, including one of the most precious golden peony plants, which she transplanted to her own courtyard..."

Ji Wuyuan's expression was indifferent: "Oh? How precious is it?"

Wang Fuhai's face was filled with heartache. He raised one finger and made a "1" gesture: "There is only one of this kind in the world."

Ji Wuyuan smiled and said, "She is quite good at choosing. No problem, I can send some more rare flowers and plants to plant in her yard."

what? !

Wang Fuhai almost thought he was hallucinating.

This Concubine Jiang must have drugged His Majesty with some kind of magic potion. Is this still the Emperor who kills without blinking an eye?!

Next, Wang Fuhai ran in and out for a long time.

……

"Oh, my majesty, Concubine Jiang..."

Ji Wuyuan waved his hand impatiently: "No need to mention it again, just let her do whatever she wants."

"Beauty is delicate and precious. So what if she is pampered and spoiled?"

"The Great Sheng Dynasty's treasury is abundant and can afford to squander it."

Wang Fuhai walked out of the imperial study with a bitter face, thinking to himself, this Concubine Jiang is really troublesome!

You said she is seriously injured and hasn't recovered yet. Wouldn't it be better for her to lie down and recuperate?

Your Majesty is the same. Instead of being a tyrant, he suddenly became a foolish ruler.

Wang Fuhai shook his head dejectedly and sighed: Oh, what bad things are happening every day!

After he left, Xie Zhiyan in the imperial study finally couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha..."

After not seeing him for a few days, this little fox really made him look at him with new eyes.

Ji Wuyuan glared at him dissatisfiedly: "Is it so funny?"

Xie Zhiyan suppressed his smile, cleared his throat a few times, picked up the tea on the table and took two sips. He said, "It's quite funny. I think Concubine Jiang is really a wonderful person."

"But, do you really intend to let her mess around in the harem like this?"

Ji Wuyuan, however, acted nonchalant: "I have nothing better to do than to play with a kitten."

"This is no ordinary cat. Your Majesty, be careful not to tease the cat and let it tease you..."

Xie Zhiyan smiled and stopped talking.

Ji Wuyuan paused playing chess, looked up at him, and said coldly, "Do you know her well?"

"No, I just want to know you, Ayuan." Xie Zhiyan said.

Ji Wuyuan rubbed the chess piece in his hand thoughtfully, and said nonchalantly: "Ayan, you worry too much. How can a kitten really turn out of my palm?"

"Just for fun."

Xie Zhiyan lowered his eyes, smiled, and said nothing.

After a cup of tea, Xie Zhiyan placed his last white piece, looked up at Ji Wuyuan, and said with a smile: "A Yuan, you lose!"

Ji Wuyuan stared at the chessboard in front of him in a daze. Before he knew it, his black pieces were surrounded and killed by his white pieces...

This was the first time he had lost so badly in his chess career.

Xie Zhiyan smiled, his dark eyes were deep and profound, with unspeakable meaning.

Before leaving, he asked a strange question.

He said, "Your Majesty, do you know the difference between a wild cat and a domestic cat?"

Ji Wuyuan's eyes darkened and he did not answer.

It seems like he is too disdainful to answer such boring questions.

Xie Zhiyan didn't care and continued, "The house cat is gentle and well-behaved, and it recognizes its owner."

"Wild cats are wild and difficult to tame."
