Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

However, Qi Ning was Jiang Jingzhou's nominal adopted daughter, so the emperor would give Jiang Jingzhou some face.

On the other hand, the emperor personally summoned Qi Ning once, and was indeed quite interested in her.

Therefore, before even having been favored, they first bestowed upon her the title of Baolin and then took her away.

Although Bao Lin's rank was not high, it was clearly a step up for Qi Ning.

Soon after the imperial edict was issued, everyone in the entire palace gradually received the news.

Upon hearing this, most of the concubines in the harem felt a sense of melancholy, as if the Emperor had added another new concubine.

However, it's not surprising that His Majesty changes his officials every few days.

Many people are waiting to see what happens, secretly speculating how long Qi Ning will remain in favor.

For the ministers and their families, the addition of new concubines to the emperor's harem was nothing new.

However, when this matter reached Gao Yun and Gao Yan's ears, their attitudes differed.

At that time, Gao Yun and Jiang Jingzhou were talking about something in the study.

Jiang Jingzhou was shocked when he heard the news.

He never expected that Qi Ning would actually be favored by His Majesty.

However, before Jiang Jingzhou could say anything, Gao Yun said, "Lord Jiang, so you adopted this goddaughter with the intention of sending her to your father's side? Why didn't you mention it to us beforehand?"

Gao Yun had long found it strange that Jiang Jingzhou would inexplicably adopt an actress as his goddaughter. If that was the reason, then it would make sense.

Jiang Jingzhou was stunned for a moment after hearing Gao Yun's words.

He quickly realized that Gao Yun had misunderstood.

Jiang Jingzhou himself was unaware of the specifics of this matter, and he never intended to send Qi Ning to His Majesty's side.

Even if someone is to be sent to His Majesty's side, it should be a well-trained and easily controlled woman, not Qi Ning.

Not only did Qi Ning have nothing to hold against her, but the Jiang family actually owed her something. When she was with the Jiang family, she relied on that favor to boss Jiang Weilan around. How could they expect her to listen to them after she entered the palace?

Although Qi Ning was not someone he had specifically arranged to enter the palace, Jiang Jingzhou couldn't deny it since Gao Yun had asked, otherwise he would be pushing the credit away.

He naturally accepted the credit.

Jiang Jingzhou chuckled twice and said in a very humble manner, "Your Highness, I was just trying it out. I never expected it to actually succeed, nor did I anticipate it would happen so quickly. Therefore, I did not mention it to Your Highness before it was accomplished."

In reality, Jiang Jingzhou wasn't being modest; he was more likely feeling guilty.

But no one else doubted his words, including Gao Yun.

Those present were all Gao Yun's confidants. Another official even flattered him, saying, "Lord Jiang's move is brilliant. If your adopted daughter gains His Majesty's favor, then we will have eyes and ears by His Majesty's side, and we will also have a mouth that can speak for us. It would be a good thing to His Highness."

Gao Yun nodded slightly: "That's right, Lord Jiang is very thoughtful."

Jiang Jingzhou didn't dare to say much, he just smiled.

From this perspective, it's a good thing that His Majesty has taken a liking to Qi Ning. The key is to ensure that Qi Ning is used by them and listens to their orders.

In contrast to the harmonious atmosphere of Gao Yun's party, Gao Yan's usually stern face turned icy cold upon receiving the news.

"Qi Baolin..."

Gao Yan uttered these three words in a low voice.

Just as he expected, that Lady Qi was a honey trap arranged by Gao Yun and the Jiang family. It was useless against him, so it was used on his father, the Emperor.

But surprisingly, they succeeded.

Qi Ning, who was being talked about by everyone, was now arranged by Eunuch Wang to be placed in a place called Mingyue Pavilion.

As a concubine of the rank of Baolin, she could not live in the main hall of a palace like the main concubine. She could only live in a small side hall in another concubine's palace or in a small place like Mingyue Pavilion.

Between the two, Qi Ning naturally preferred the latter.

Although Mingyue Pavilion is not a large place, it has the advantage of a quiet environment, and you don't have to live with the other concubines.

Qi Ning was bathed and dressed by a group of palace maids, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

She sat in front of her dressing table, and a palace maid named Ji Mei combed her black hair.

Ji Mei was a palace maid in the imperial palace. She thought she would be working in the imperial palace forever, but she never expected to have the opportunity to serve the emperor's concubines. This was a good future for her.

Even though Qi Ning's rank was not high, she still served him carefully.

"Baolin, your hair is so beautiful, so black and shiny. His Majesty will surely love it."

Qi Ning glanced at Ji Mei behind her through the mirror and raised her hand to signal her to stop.

"Jimei, there's no need to comb your hair. Let me do it myself. You can take the others out first."

"Yes, Baolin."

Ji Mei put down the wooden comb, curtsied to Qi Ning, and then led the others out, carefully closing the door behind her.

Qi Ning glanced at the closed door, immediately got up, found a sachet in her luggage, took out some medicinal powder from the sachet and put it into the incense burner in the room.

She closed the incense burner lid, watched the wisps of white smoke rising from it, and curled her lips into a smile.

This powder was specially prepared by Qi Ning. The powder itself doesn't have a strong smell, but when mixed with spices and burned, once a person smells it, they will begin to feel drowsy, their mind will become unclear, and then they will gradually fall into a deep sleep and lose all consciousness.

This was specially prepared by Qi Ning for the emperor; she herself had already taken the antidote.

Just after she finished setting up the incense burner, she heard voices outside the door greeting the emperor.

Qi Ning glanced outside, quickly put away the sachet, returned to the bed and sat down, placing her hands on her knees, pretending to be somewhat nervous and shy.

A moment later, the door was opened from the outside, and the emperor walked in.

He saw Qi Ning sitting on the bed and was not very pleased. He stood not far away with his hands behind his back, watching her.

Qi Ning immediately stood up and bowed: "This concubine greets Your Majesty."

She had only gone halfway through her bow when the emperor helped her up, saying, "No need for such formalities, please get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qi Ning looked up at the emperor with a smile, thinking to herself that the old emperor was quite considerate and was indeed a veteran in love.

However, he would definitely only treat his favorite concubines this way; once he lost interest and no longer liked them, he would forget about them immediately.

The Bright Moon Pavilion had been uninhabited for a long time, and this was the first time the emperor had come here. He looked around the room and asked Qi Ning, "How is it? Are you satisfied with this courtyard?"

Qi Ning nodded and replied, "This concubine is very satisfied; this place is quite nice."

The emperor hummed in agreement: "It is a bit small. If you have any shortages, just tell Wang Jinfu and he will arrange it for you."

"Alright, thank you, Your Majesty," Qi Ning readily agreed.

If it were someone else, they would definitely praise Eunuch Wang for handling things so well, saying there was nothing lacking, and then politely decline a few times. But she just agreed directly.

But the emperor felt that she was genuine and straightforward, unlike others who were hypocritical.

Before they could exchange more than a few words, the emperor pulled Qi Ning to sit down on the bed.

He leaned closer to Qi Ning and sniffed: "What perfume are you wearing? It smells so good."

As he spoke, he glanced at the incense burner again, unable to discern for a moment whether the fragrance was from Qi Ning or emanating from the burner.

Qi Ning looked into the emperor's eyes, and his gaze was clearly becoming somewhat unfocused.

She smiled charmingly: "Does Your Majesty like this fragrance?"

"I like it, I like it very much."

The emperor looked at Qi Ning's face and found her increasingly alluring and captivating.

"It's getting late, let's get some rest," he said softly.

After the emperor finished speaking, he was about to bend down when Qi Ning pushed him away.

"what happened?"

Qi Ning feigned shyness and pointed to the bed curtains, saying, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment while I lower the bed curtains."

The emperor chuckled, thinking that although she was bold, she was still a young woman, and it was normal for her to be shy.

"Okay, let's go."

Qi Ning stood up and slowly lowered the bed curtains, with the emperor watching her from behind.

Not long after, Qi Ning heard a muffled thud coming from the bed behind her.

She turned around and saw the emperor lying on the bed, his eyes closed, unconscious.

Qi Ning stepped forward, patted the emperor's face, and gently called his name.

"Your Majesty, wake up, what's wrong?"

Seeing that the emperor did not react, Qi Ning pushed the emperor onto the bed and stripped off his clothes as if he were handling a piece of pork.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Ning took out a small porcelain bottle containing about half a bottle of red liquid.

She poured some of the liquid onto the bed; it looked exactly like blood.

"All right."

Qi Ning put away the porcelain bottle and clapped her hands crisply.

"System, the rest is up to you."

As Qi Ning and the system had agreed beforehand, she had completed her task for the night, and the system would take care of the rest.

The system has two tasks: first, to create a dream about eroticism for the emperor; and second, to generate an indescribable sound for those guarding outside to hear.

The system had never done anything like this before; it only felt immense pressure.

"Host, this is too difficult. This system has no experience with it."

It's a legitimate system; whenever the host and the target do something indescribable, it goes into the dark room and sees nothing.

Qi Ning rolled her eyes: "You have no experience, can't you look it up in the database? I believe in you, you can definitely do it."

The database does contain such information, but for the system to replace the people in the dream with the emperor and Qi Ning, it would also need to create a storyline...

Qi Ning encouraged it again: "Besides, practice makes perfect. This dream isn't something you can just create once. You'll have to keep creating it, and each time it has to be different. Do your best. If you slip up and the mission fails, then it's your fault."

Upon hearing this, the system's fighting spirit immediately soared.

Its host is so excellent, it certainly can't hold it back.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to this system!"

After discussing it with the system, Qi Ning lay down on the small couch next to her, plugged her ears, and closed her eyes to sleep peacefully.

Qi Ning was resting, but the system was working diligently.

The dream it wove, continuing from the silhouette of Qi Ning as she laid out the bed curtains, gradually began to unfold...

The emperor, lying in bed, drifted into a dream.

Shortly after the emperor entered the room, the eunuchs and others who were guarding outside heard some sounds coming from inside.

Even those who had served the emperor for many years and were well-informed blushed upon hearing the commotion inside.

Moreover, the commotion lasted for a long time, and even when they were tired of waiting, it didn't end.

Finally, things quieted down inside, and there was no more noise.

The eunuch called out from outside, "Your Majesty, would you like some water?"

The system, simulating the emperor's voice, replied, "No need."

"Yes," Eunuch Wang immediately replied.

He turned around and waved to the palace maids and nannies who were delivering water: "Go down now, we'll deliver water again tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning.

The emperor opened his eyes with difficulty, feeling completely drained and utterly exhausted.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

The emperor turned his head and saw Qi Ning, dressed neatly, standing by the bed waiting for him.

"Ah."

The emperor responded, sat up, glanced down at the marks and bloodstains on the bed, and then, recalling the passionate night they had spent together, coughed lightly, his fist clenched.

When he looked up again, his gaze towards Qi Ning was even more fervent.

"You were tired last night, why didn't you sleep a little longer and get up so early?"

Qi Ning thought to herself that she had slept very well last night, going to bed early and waking up early, and she wasn't tired at all.

However, appearances still had to be maintained. After getting up in the morning, Qi Ning drew two bruises under her eyes herself and pretended to be in poor spirits.

She shook her head and said, "Although I am tired, I want to get up early and personally help Your Majesty with your washing and grooming."

Upon hearing Qi Ning's words, His Majesty sighed inwardly, "She is indeed young and healthy."

However, looking at the dark circles under Qi Ning's eyes, one could tell that even if she was in good health, she was still exhausted.

Qi Ning stepped forward: "Your Majesty, let me help you change your clothes."

The emperor felt sorry for her and was too reluctant to let her serve him anymore.

"No need. Go and rest. Let the palace servants come in to attend to me."

Qi Ning was more than happy to agree. She withdrew her hand and said, "Indeed, I am clumsy. Let them serve His Majesty. I will go and call them in now."

The emperor was served by palace maids to wash and dress, and then changed his clothes.

Since it was a temporary palace, unlike the morning court session in the main palace, the emperor stayed to have breakfast with Qi Ning.

During the meal, the emperor would occasionally glance at Qi Ning.

Qi Ning put down the spoon in her hand, looked up at the emperor, and asked, "Why is Your Majesty staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

"No."

The emperor laughed a few times, but the laughter sounded somewhat strange, and the way he looked at her was also a bit odd.

Just as Qi Ning was secretly worried that the dream the system had created last night might have revealed some flaws, he heard the emperor speak again.

He pointed at Qi Ning with his finger: "I was just pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect that my beloved consort, who is so young and naive at first, would improve so much in bed after I gave her some pointers. She is quite proactive. You have no idea how tired I was last night."

Qi Ning: Huh?

What the hell?

initiative?

Before Qi Ning could react, she heard the emperor say, "I have made my decision. I will promote you to the rank of Noble Lady. What do you think?"
