Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

Su Peisheng's expression had returned to its usual amiable state: "Oh, then you really think the same way as the Emperor. The Emperor felt sorry for you having a premature birth and having no one to accompany you, and was thinking of bringing the Third Miss into the palace to stay with you for a while after you have recovered."

Zhen Huan's eyes showed no change in emotion; she simply nodded with feigned happiness, "It's wonderful that Your Majesty has such a kind intention. But compared to Yu Rao, I miss Jin Xi even more."

“Jinxi suffered a lot by my side in the past. Now that I have become the head of a palace, I can finally let the people around me benefit. In my heart, the position of the head of Chengqian Palace belongs to Jinxi.”

However, Chengqian Palace has a head maid who, although she is a concubine, does not have any real power in the palace and has no sufficient reason to replace her.

However, if Su Peisheng is willing to help, then the matter is very simple.

The person sitting in such an important position as the head aunt must be someone she trusts so that she can feel at ease.

Su Peisheng seemed oblivious to her hidden meaning, and simply smiled and said, "Your Majesty's kind heart and fondness for the past is a blessing to us servants. Your Majesty, please rest assured that if His Majesty decides to send someone to visit the Third Miss, this servant will certainly convey this message to Jinxi."

Zhen Huan nodded in satisfaction: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Eunuch."

He doesn't need to make any promises; just use these words. As long as Cui Jinxi returns to the palace, Su Peisheng will definitely take the initiative to help Cui Jinxi become the head maid.

"I don't deserve it, it's just a small matter, nothing at all."

At Zhongcui Palace, before Yu Ying'er could even drink her red bean soup after returning home, the imperial messenger arrived to deliver a decree!

Xiao Lezi and Qingzhu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with ecstatic joy. It really was their Empress!

When the Imperial Household Department began preparing all the items for the imperial concubine conferment, they discussed who would receive the honor. After much deliberation, they concluded that only their own concubine was the most suitable.

As expected, Su Peisheng came in person to announce the imperial decree. After rambling on for a long time, Yu Ying'er was changed from Consort Zhuang to Imperial Concubine Zhuang.

She accepted the imperial edict, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and repeatedly asked for rewards.

"Eunuch Su, I wonder which other sisters have been promoted? I'd like to prepare congratulatory gifts in advance."

"Your Majesty, Consort Borqijit has been granted the title of Consort Gong, Consort Zhao has been granted the title of Consort Zhao, Consort Fucha has been granted the title of Tian, ​​Consort Shen has been granted the title of Hui, Consort An has been granted the title of Qian, and Consort Chun has been granted the title of Consort Jin."

Consort Tian should have been promoted to the rank of Imperial Concubine, but unfortunately the Imperial Household Department only produced three sets of auspicious robes for Imperial Concubine rank, so it was not appropriate for her to wear old clothes or the auspicious robes of a Noble Lady at the New Year's Eve palace banquet.

The emperor decided to hold off on it for now and plan to promote her next time.

"In addition, Consort Jing and Consort Qi enjoy the treatment of a Noble Consort, while Consort Jin and Consort Xin enjoy the treatment of a Consort. The power in the palace has also been divided between the two consorts."

"Because the New Year was approaching, the palace was too busy, so the investiture ceremonies for the empresses were arranged in February."

That's one reason. Another reason is that the emperor might bestow upon the concubine the title of Imperial Noble Consort.

The investiture ceremony for the Imperial Noble Consort was extremely complicated. Once the decree was issued, a considerable number of people had to be mobilized to prepare it. As a result, there were not enough people to prepare for the investiture ceremonies of Consort Zhuang and the three Consorts.

To avoid any problems later, we simply postponed the time.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

While Zhongcui Palace was filled with joy and celebration, Chengqian Palace in front of it was eerily quiet.

The Fourth Prince Hongli knelt in the main hall with a gloomy face. Zhen Huan, dressed in the attire of a concubine, sat in the main seat directly in front of him.

In just half an hour, all the people around him were taken away for interrogation, and he was also packed up and sent to Chengqian Palace to be placed under the jurisdiction of Consort Wan, to be disciplined by this woman.

Zhen Huan gave a cold laugh: "Fourth Prince, are you disappointed to see me alive and well, and even a concubine?"

The Fourth Prince clenched his teeth and looked up, feigning innocence: "What does Mother mean? I don't understand."

Anyway, the Emperor has already made a final judgment: it was Consort Yun who murdered Consort Wan, causing her to become infertile. What does that have to do with him, Hongli?

Zhen Huan laughed in anger: "As expected of someone born of a lowly servant, you are indeed as despicable as the Emperor said, daring to do but not daring to admit it. If you admit it, I will think more highly of you because of your sense of responsibility."

The matter has already been settled, and even though she desperately wants to kill this bastard, she doesn't dare to do it openly.

Hongli's eyes were bloodshot, and a strong murderous intent surged in his eyes as he stared directly at Zhen Huan.

They shouldn't have let the Xia family spare that bitch's life in the first place, just so that the Yun family would be more favored!

Born of a lowly maid, of inferior character

His future was completely ruined!

“Mother, please be careful with your words. No matter how incompetent Hongli may be, he is still Father’s son and a prince of the royal family. He cannot tolerate such insults from a concubine.”

Even the Empress has to give the princes some face; what is this lowly woman anyway?

Zhen Huan remained unmoved and coldly snorted: "If the Emperor still regarded you as his son, why would he have entrusted you to me for discipline and guidance?"

Although she said this, she knew in her heart that the emperor entrusted the son to her precisely because he still had some affection for Hongli.

Firstly, it was to give her an explanation, and secondly, to shut her up.

Secondly, it was to preserve the reputation of this bastard.

Yun Xinluo has already confessed to the crime of murdering her, so naturally it has nothing to do with this bastard.

However, if this bastard is not adopted, he will bear the stigma of being the son of a disgraced concubine.

But this bastard certainly doesn't know that.

Hongli truly didn't understand the intricacies of the situation; he only knew that he and Zhen Huan had an irreconcilable feud!

Faced with the knife Zhen Huan handed him, Hongli instantly lost his composure and shouted angrily, "You bitch! Don't try to fool me! Father Emperor won't abandon me!"

Zhen Huan ignored his curses, only curling her lips into a smile: "Fourth Prince is possessed, actually insulting his birth mother. It's clear his mind is not clear. Take him to the corridor and kneel for half an hour to wake him up."

The emperor certainly wouldn't ignore Hongli, but if Hongli acted recklessly first, as long as her overt methods wouldn't harm the Fourth Prince's fundamental interests, the emperor wouldn't interfere.

See, he fell for it with just a few words of provocation.

Insulting the concubine's mother is a grave act of filial impiety!

The punishment of making him kneel in the cold wind was already very lenient. Even if the emperor heard about it, he would only think that she was trying to discipline the Fourth Prince.

"Your Majesty, Consort Qian requests an audience."

After Pei'er finished reporting, she suddenly remembered that her mistress was busy messing with the Fourth Prince and didn't seem to have asked anyone about the promotions of the other concubines.

"Your Majesty, I have inquired and found that His Majesty has decreed that Consort Zhuang be promoted to Imperial Concubine Zhuang, Noble Lady Borqijit be promoted to Imperial Concubine Gong, and Noble Lady Zhao be promoted to Imperial Concubine Zhao."

Fortunately, Xiao Yunzi has taught her a lot recently, otherwise she would have been completely lost.
