Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

Yu Ying'er was left in Shou Kang Palace to serve the puppies of the lion dogs she had brought.

This puppy was taken care of by Yu Ying'er as soon as she went to the dog breeding center. It is adorable and clever. Xi Qiao even cut off a quarter of a smart pill for it to eat. Although it is only three months old, it can already perform various actions according to the commands given by Yu Ying'er.

The Empress Dowager loved the little cub's soft and adorable nature, and also loved Yu Ying'er's silly cuteness and beauty. When these two adorable creatures, one big and one small, one human and one dog, played together, they always made the Empress Dowager and everyone in Shou Kang Palace happy.

Winter has passed and spring has arrived. It should be a time of warm weather, blooming flowers, singing birds, and dancing butterflies, but because Consort Fang often uses the imperial heir to curry favor, the palace is filled with resentment, and the ladies of the palace have no mood to enjoy the spring flowers.

The Empress had always prided herself on being virtuous and never touched a troublesome matter, big or small. Even when the harem was filled with complaints, she remained silent. She resented Consort Fang's pregnancy and hated Consort Hua's gaining favor and power, hoping the two would fight each other to the death. Now that the entire palace resents Consort Fang, which was partly her own scheme, why would she care?

However, although the Empress Dowager did not concern herself with matters of the inner palace, the matter eventually reached her ears. Knowing the Empress well, she knew that Consort Fang's behavior was so outrageous that the Empress was unwilling to deal with her, so she gave up on persuading the Empress and sent someone to invite the Emperor.

Xi Qiao saw Chunyi leave the palace gates, then turned and went to the room of the lion dog, Xue Tuan. Xue Tuan had just finished playing and was now sleeping soundly in its soft little bed. Yu Ying'er had already run out to play with the palace maids. Only Xi Qiao and Xue Tuan, the dog, were left in the room.

She took out a quarter of the prepared intelligence pill and stuffed it into Xue Tuan's mouth. Xue Tuan woke up immediately upon smelling it, rolled over, stood up, and wolfed down the pill in her mouth. After finishing, she looked at Xi Qiao with a pleading expression and wagged her tail.

Its pitiful appearance was truly heartbreaking, making one wish to give it all the good things. Especially its pair of hazy blue eyes, filled with a wet, pleading look, just like a child begging an adult for food.

It's just like a puppy that's come to life.

Xi Qiao stroked its head, lifted it up with one hand, and whispered in its ear, "When you hear someone talking loudly later, lead Yingying to the Empress's room, understand?"

The puppy tilted its head and let out a soft, babyish bark.

"Good boy." Xi Qiao squinted, not wasting half of her intelligence-boosting pill; this little guy's IQ was rising sharply.

The emperor arrived quickly, but he also brought Suochuoluoshi with him.

It seems the emperor knew the deep resentment in the harem, and preferred to spend his free time in the Hall of Mental Cultivation with Lady Suochuoluo rather than enter the harem.

Suochuoluo had always regarded herself as a servant in front of the Empress Dowager. After the Empress Dowager exempted her from formalities, she consciously stood in the position of a palace maid.

The Emperor was even more pleased with her, and then spoke to the Empress Dowager about making her a concubine. “Suochuoluo comes from the Empress Dowager’s palace, so her manners and etiquette are beyond question. She is respectful to superiors and kind to inferiors, which greatly pleases my son. I originally wanted her to live in Zhongcui Palace, but she said she wanted to be closer to the Empress Dowager.”

The Empress Dowager raised her eyes and glanced at Suochuoluo. Suochuoluo's heart tightened, and she quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know that I am of lowly status and unworthy to serve Your Majesty at all times. However, in my heart, I have long regarded Your Majesty as a close relative. I secretly hope to be closer to Your Majesty, which is why I asked the Emperor for this."

The Empress Dowager nodded. "In that case, move to Chunxi Palace. Stop kneeling and get up. If the Emperor is satisfied with you, I will be happy too."

"Yes, this servant thanks Your Majesty the Empress Dowager for your kindness." Lady Suochuoluo breathed a slight sigh of relief. Actually, she wanted to live in Yongshou Palace, but the Empress Dowager was clearly unhappy, so she dared not say anything more.

Xi Qiao noticed that Suo Chuo Luo Shi instinctively protected her stomach when she knelt down and when she stood up, and he had a vague guess in his heart.
