Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

Xia Dongchun—no, it should be the Empress—moved very quickly.

On the morning of the tenth day of their summer retreat at Yuanmingyuan, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang arranged to go boating on the lake together.

After boating, Shen Meizhuang accepted Zhen Huan's invitation to stay for lunch at Bitong Academy.

As it was almost time for her afternoon nap, Shen Meizhuang led her entourage back to her residence, Xianyue Pavilion.

Unfortunately, she forgot to take the poetry collection that Zhen Huan had given her when she left.

Zhen Huan then called Xiao Yunzi over, "Consort Shen is in a hurry to go back for her afternoon nap and forgot to bring this collection of poems. You're quick on your feet, so hurry up and take it to her."

Xiao Yunzi was about to take the poetry collection when Huanbi stopped her.

“My lady, Xiao Yunzi must be tired from rowing this morning. Let him rest. I’ll go deliver it to Consort Shen. I can also take the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the garden.”

Huanbi wore a qipao made of shimmering brocade today, and a gilded and jade-inlaid hairpin in her hair. She felt she couldn't let her outfit go to waste and was looking for an opportunity to show it off, and here it was!

Zhen Huan agreed, and intermittently forgot Huan Bi's status as a servant, even smiling and praising her for looking good in the shimmering brocade dress.

Huanbi was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly, saying with delight, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."

"Alright, alright, stop being so smug. Go on, you've delivered the poetry collection to Sister Mei. If you want to stroll around the garden, go ahead. Liusu and Xiaoyunzi are here to serve you."

"Yes, then this servant will go."

Huanbi strolled leisurely to Xianyue Pavilion. When she arrived, the emperor was sitting in Xianyue Pavilion drinking tea, while Shen Meizhuang was bathing and changing clothes with the help of palace maids.

The sun was high in the sky, and Shen Meizhuang was sweating profusely as she walked from Bitong Academy back to Xianyue Pavilion. The palace maids brought hot water, and then the emperor arrived. Shen Meizhuang was truly caught in a dilemma.

If one were to receive the emperor while covered in sweat and smelling of sweat, it would be both impolite and disrespectful. But if one were to take a bath, wouldn't that be disrespectful to the emperor?

The emperor was in a good mood, and seeing the usually dignified Shen Meizhuang looking embarrassed, he was amused and laughed twice.

"It seems I've arrived at an inopportune time. Meizhuang, there's no need to worry. Go and take a bath first."

Shen Meizhuang lowered her head shyly: "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I will be ready soon. Caiyue, quickly serve Your Majesty tea."

As soon as she finished speaking, Caiyue hurriedly went to make tea, and then a palace maid brought over an ice basin and an incense burner and placed them in the corner.

Huanbi arrived at this time.

Upon seeing her, the emperor summoned her and asked, "Did your mistress send you to deliver a book to Consort Shen?"

The emperor would naturally see the poetry collection in Huanbi's hands.

As he asked, he reached out to Huanbi, who cleverly presented the poetry collection with both hands. "Your Majesty, this poetry collection was a gift from your mistress to Consort Shen, but she left in a hurry and forgot to take it."

"Oh, let me see." The emperor was about to flip through the poetry collection when his gaze fell on Huanbi's clothes. Suddenly, he felt they looked familiar. "Your clothes—"

Huanbi smiled shyly, "Your Majesty, this dress was a gift from the mistress. The mistress even praised me for looking good in it. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Huanbi suddenly asked that question without even realizing it.

The implication of currying favor couldn't be clearer.

For a moment, the Leisure Moon Pavilion was completely silent. Huanbi had actually come up with such thoughts!

Just when everyone thought the emperor would get angry, he looked at Huanbi with a meaningful gaze and even unusually moved his Adam's apple.

The emperor looked at Huanbi and suddenly found her incredibly alluring.

He carefully examined Huanbi. The atmosphere in the room had become incredibly ambiguous, as if a layer of pink mist shrouded the two of them.

At this moment, Huanbi was viewed through a super thick filter. Her face, flushed with shyness, was as beautiful as a goddess from the heavens, and her clear, pure eyes were as cool as a fairy from the moon palace. The more the emperor looked at her, the more pleased he became, and the more fascinated he was. His desire for Huanbi grew stronger and stronger.

As the supreme ruler who possesses the entire world, the emperor never wrongs himself.

"Indeed, your young mistress has excellent taste. This dress suits you very well, come here." After praising her, the emperor put the poetry collection in his hand on the coffee table and beckoned Huanbi to come forward.

Huanbi was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

She quickly stepped forward and placed her small hand in the emperor's palm. Her heart pounded wildly. She stole a glance at the emperor's imposing figure, and felt an overwhelming sense of emptiness and longing.

"Your Majesty, this servant...this servant admires you—"

Huanbi's face was flushed.

Upon seeing this, the emperor's heart burned with desire, and his physical lust was amplified to an extreme. He immediately picked Huanbi up and carried her towards Shen Meizhuang's bed.

Su Peisheng had long ago driven everyone inside and outside the house far away, because lewdness in broad daylight is not a pleasant thing to hear.

He left his apprentice, Xiaxiazi, to guard the door and prevent anyone from approaching, fearing that someone might disturb the emperor's enjoyment. Then he personally gathered the palace maids and eunuchs serving in Xianyue Pavilion together to admonish and silence them.

Although their reputation is not good, the emperor is the most powerful. They, as his subordinates, cannot stop him from doing whatever he wants. All they can do is handle the aftermath.

So, after Shen Meizhuang hurriedly finished bathing and changing, she heard sounds that shouldn't have come from her own palace.

Her mind went blank for a moment, then a surge of anger rose within her. She grabbed Caiyue's hand and asked in a low voice, "Who's in the house?"

Caiyue also looked confused.

It wasn't until Xiazi noticed them that she kindly came forward to explain, "Reporting to Consort Shen, the one inside is Miss Huanbi, who serves Consort Wan."

"Who?" Shen Meizhuang asked incredulously. "Huanbi? What's she doing here?"

She had just returned from Bitong Academy, so why was Huanbi there?

Xiazi looked at Shen Meizhuang with sympathy. "Replying to Your Excellency, according to Miss Huanbi herself, she was sent by Consort Wan to deliver a collection of poems to Your Excellency."

A collection of poems?

She sent a book of poems, and then she ended up rolling around with the Emperor in her secluded pavilion?

absurd!

Shen Meizhuang gritted her teeth, her vision blurred for a moment, and she almost fainted.

What happened in Xianyue Pavilion could not be hidden from the Empress, who was the instigator, Xia Dongchun, who was watching the show from the sidelines, and Xi Qiao and An Lingrong, who were the masterminds behind it all.

Others might want to see Zhen Huan make a fool of herself, but Xi Qiao simply wanted to know the effects of the love potion given by the system.

At Wutong Academy, Zhen Huan woke up from her afternoon nap and still couldn't find Huan Bi, so she asked Liu Zhu a question.

Liu Su's face was pale, and she said with a sob in her voice, "My lady, Huan Bi will not be coming back. The Emperor has appointed her as an official lady."

Zhen Huan was struck dumb, wondering if she had misheard.

She grabbed Liu Su's arm, her expression stunned: "What did you say? Liu Zhu, what are you saying? Huan Bi, how could this be?"

Liu Zhu was also shocked when she heard this. "My lady, is this true? It's already spread that Huanbi was taken to the Nine Provinces Banquet by the Emperor, and the Emperor has issued an imperial edict to appoint Huanbi as an official lady and have her serve him tonight."

When he spoke the last few words, Liu Zhu's expression was complicated.

"I spent money to find out, I found out..." Liu Zhu hesitated to say the rest, but she had to. "I found out that Huanbi had actually been serving the Emperor in Xianyue Pavilion since the afternoon."

The idea of ​​serving the emperor tonight is nothing more than a fig leaf; such promiscuity in broad daylight is not a good thing for the emperor.

"Half an hour before you woke up, Eunuch Xia from the Imperial Household Department personally came to deliver the Emperor's edict."

At this moment, Zhen Huan was miraculously in sync with Shen Meizhuang from just a few hours earlier, which she found absurd!
