In fact, Concubine Jia also knew in her heart that Ji Wuyuan was a man who was not interested in women and was heartless.

She knew all this before entering the palace, but he was so dazzling, handsome, and had a heavenly appearance. He was noble and domineering, which really made people obsessed with him.

The young girl is in love and can't help but feel longing and always wants to climb up this cold iceberg.

My father said that although he was a tyrant, he was also a wise ruler.

Looking back at the time when the previous emperor was in power, he ignored state affairs and had no interest in handling government affairs, allowing his relatives to interfere in government affairs...

With the help of Empress Dowager Qi, her brothers and relatives were promoted and became rich one after another.

The Qi family was a faction that at that time, when one person gained power, the whole family would prosper.

Therefore, when Ji Wuyuan ascended the throne, the court had already been riddled with holes due to the influence of the Qi family. Qi family members were everywhere, and many officials were flattering and seeking to curry favor with the powerful.

Government policies were difficult to implement, loyal officials were oppressed, the entire court was in chaos, discipline collapsed, and the people were living in misery.

The country and its people, the foundation of the nation is even more shaky.

However, after the new emperor Ji Wuyuan ascended the throne, she took back the power with lightning speed and suppressed the Qi family.

Her father, Duke Zhao, was loyal to him at that time.

Therefore, when Concubine Qi was favored, she refused to believe it at all.

Whoever it is, it can't be the Qi family.

Since it couldn't be the Qi family, it should be her Zhao family.

With her Zhao family's merits and loyalty, she should be the most favored one in the harem.

It would have been fine if there was a virtuous concubine who was favored before.

But what is going on with this Concubine Jiang now?

Was she seduced by beauty, or was it true, as the rumors said, that both she and Concubine Xian had faces resembling those of an old friend?

Seeing that Concubine Jia was still silent, Lady Wang continued, "We'll be going hunting in Beishan in a few days. Sister Jiafei, why don't you..."

Concubine Jia came back to her senses and sneered, saying, "Sister, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want."

"I will pretend I didn't hear what you said today. If you mention it again next time, don't blame me for being rude."

Concubine Wang looked at Concubine Jia with a cold face and said, "Sister, don't act so nonchalant. If you really didn't care, why would you deliberately 'plead' for Concubine Jiang in the Cining Palace that day..."

Concubine Jia clenched the teacup in her hand.

After Concubine Wang left, she threw all the teacups on the table to the ground.

In the harem, everyone said that she was dignified, virtuous and kind, and was worthy of being a model of a noble lady from a noble family. Even Empress Dowager Qi praised her highly.

But is this really the case?

Is she really dignified, generous, virtuous and kind?

In fact, it is not the case. It is just suppressing one’s nature.

How many women in the world can truly be virtuous, kind, and dignified at the same time?

It’s just because all men in the world like this and use it as a criterion for choosing a mate.

She just catered to his taste.

Somehow, she suddenly felt a little envious of Jiang Wantang, who could win Ji Wuyuan's favor just by having a face and without doing anything.

……

A few days passed in a flash, and soon it was time to go to the North Mountain for spring hunting.

The Great Sheng Dynasty has always respected Wu, and the country was conquered on horseback. When Ji Wuyuan was a prince, he fought in many battles.

Therefore, hunting every year is an indispensable major event for the royal family, on an unprecedented scale, and important officials in the court and children of aristocratic families will all go to show their skills.

Everyone wants to stand out in the spring hunt and win the emperor's appreciation and favor.

When Jiang Wantang heard Ji Wuyuan mention it a few days ago, she was already looking forward to it and had even prepared several sets of riding clothes.

She remembered the spring hunt in her previous life. She was afraid that her rural origin would make Xiao Jingheng ridiculed, and Xiao Jingheng thought that she was too weak to withstand the long journey, so she did not go.

This time her state of mind was completely different, and she no longer needed to deliberately suppress her nature.

Before daybreak, Jiang Wantang got up, washed, and changed her clothes, fearing that if she was too late, Ji Wuyuan would not take her with him.

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the other concubines were all dressed up in gorgeous attire, but Jiang Wantang and Lin Ruoyun were the only ones who wore riding uniforms, looking heroic and stunning everyone.

It's no surprise that Lin Ruoyun is a military general, but everyone knows that Prime Minister Jiang is a civil official...

Even Lin Ruoyun's eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Wantang in riding clothes.

Although Lin Ruoyun didn't show anything on weekdays, deep down she still disdained to associate with those delicate girls.

So, as soon as Jiang Wantang appeared, Lin Ruoyun walked towards her.

At this time, Zhang Cairen also came over wearing a gorgeous and luxurious long dress. When she saw Jiang Wantang's charming face, she was furious, especially since she was wearing riding clothes, and her exquisite and slender figure was fully revealed.

So she came up to Jiang Wantang and said sarcastically, "Lin Chongrong comes from a family of military commanders and has practiced martial arts since childhood. She'll also be going hunting soon, so riding gear is naturally the most suitable for her."

"Your father, Prime Minister Jiang, is a civil official, and you don't know how to fight. Yet you're imitating others by dressing in riding clothes. Are you planning to deliberately seduce men when you go on stage?"

"What are you talking about?" Lin Ruoyun was already standing in front of Jiang Wantang.

Jiang Wantang smiled, walked out from behind Lin Ruoyun, and walked towards Zhang Cairen.

Zhang Cairen was frightened by her smile and suddenly remembered the last time she hit him.

Her face changed drastically, and she subconsciously took a few steps back: "You...you stop, this is in public, if you dare to hit me, His Majesty will not ignore it!"

Jiang Wantang's smile deepened, and he said even more sarcastically than her: "Ms. Zhang, did you eat feces so early in the morning? Your mouth stinks."

Zhang Cairen was so angry that his face flushed red: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's so vulgar and disrespectful!"

"I say, your mouth stinks worse than a toilet. It stinks everywhere when you speak!" Jiang Wantang said lightly.

Zhang Cairen was so angry that she almost jumped up and down: "Don't go too far, who do you think you are? If you hadn't used your seductive tricks to confuse His Majesty, I might not be less favored than you."

Jiang Wantang sneered, and suddenly felt that talking to such a person lowered her IQ. Even hitting her would make her feel dirty, so she turned and left.

Zhang Cairen became even more angry when he saw this: "What did you mean by that look just now? Who are you looking down on?"

"I look down on you." Jiang Wantang's faint voice came from the front.

Zhang Cairen was so angry that he stamped his feet, but he didn't dare to chase after him.

At this time, the chief eunuch Wang Fuhai appeared at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and shouted in a shrill voice: "The Emperor has arrived!"

Then everyone knelt and kowtowed, shouting in unison: "Long live our emperor!

After a while, Ji Wuyuan, wearing a black robe with golden dragon pattern and a golden dragon crown on his head, walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with an imposing and noble demeanor.

His face was cold, his eyes were like cold stars, he had a kind of arrogance that looked down on the world, and his aura was extremely powerful.

Ji Wuyuan had no expression on his face and uttered the words "stand up" in a cold tone.

Everyone stood up as if they had been pardoned.

Looking from Jiang Wantang's direction, the lines of the man's profile were sharp and distinct, his eyebrows and eyes were too charming and elegant, and he was flamboyant and exquisite to the extreme. The glance in his eyes was full of bewitching meaning, but because of his fierce and powerful aura, people dared not look directly at him.

It looks like the white snow on the unreachable snow-capped mountains.

This is the charm that power gives to a man: domineering, cold, strategic and looking down on the world.

However, just as Jiang Wantang was observing Ji Wuyuan, the latter also looked up as if sensing something...
