Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them
Chapter 17 The Tea-Serving Palace Maid (7)
Fengyi Palace.
The concubines who came to pay their respects have all left.
The Empress rubbed her temples, her face showing undeniable exhaustion.
"Your Majesty, let me rub it for you."
The palace maid beside the empress quickly stepped forward and massaged her temples.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. No one expected Consort Shen to act so impulsively today."
The Empress tightened her grip on the handkerchief in her hand. The thought that she had worked so hard to obtain the position of Empress and the power to manage the harem, only to have half of it taken away by this brainless woman, Shen Qingyao, filled her with resentment.
She had originally intended for Shen Qingyao and Liang Qiuli to fight to the death so she could reap the benefits, but who would have thought that this fool Shen Qingyao would do such a stupid thing, giving Liang Qiuli the advantage for nothing.
"Your Majesty, you need not worry too much. Although Consort Rong has now gained the power to assist in managing the six palaces, she is ultimately only helping you manage the harem. You are still the one in real power."
Upon hearing this, the Empress's expression softened slightly, and she nodded.
“You’re right. I am the Empress, the head of the harem. If Liang Qiuli wants to share power, she needs my consent.”
"That's right, Your Majesty is wise."
The personal maid offered a compliment, then cautiously glanced at the Empress's expression.
"Your Majesty, your most urgent task now is to give birth to a prince for the Emperor. This is the foundation for consolidating your position as Empress."
As for Consort Rong, you only need to keep a slight eye on her. Although she is favored, she is of low birth, so Your Highness doesn't need to pay her any attention.
"You're right, the prince is my greatest reliance."
The second princess is almost a year old. I should really take good care of my health and try to conceive a little prince as soon as possible.
Upon hearing her personal maid's words, a smug glint flashed in the Empress's eyes, but she quickly concealed it. She gently stroked her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with anticipation and longing.
"Go and write to your mother, ask for a prescription to help you conceive, and try to have a boy in your first pregnancy."
The Empress turned her head slightly and gave instructions to her personal maid.
After sorting out her thoughts, the Empress decided not to dwell on the matter any further, since Consort Rong's current favor was undoubtedly due to her being the mother of the Emperor's only son.
If she could give birth to a prince, he would be the legitimate heir, and her favor and honor would naturally be even greater.
……
Chengqian Palace.
Liang Qiuli sat beside the emperor, who was carefully applying medicine to her.
"Your Majesty, I can do it myself."
As the emperor applied the medicine, the burning pain on Liang Qiuli's face lessened considerably.
The emperor ignored her and made his movements even gentler.
"You're just too docile. You can't be so weak and easily bullied in the harem. You have to fight back when necessary."
The emperor looked at Liang Qiuli's still somewhat swollen face, his eyes filled with heartache.
Liang Qiuli thought to herself, she didn't want to be so weak and easily bullied, but you just happen to fall for it.
If she had avoided it back then, the emperor probably wouldn't feel sorry for her like he does now. Instead, he would have thought she was too domineering and not gentle enough.
She nodded slightly, met the emperor's gaze, and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty's teachings will be followed. If I retaliate in the future, Your Majesty, please do not be angry and stand by my side."
The emperor was slightly taken aback, then laughed. He reached out and pulled Liang Qiuli into his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Why would I be angry? Protect yourself, and leave the rest to me."
Liang Qiuli leaned contentedly against the emperor's chest and let out a soft hum.
She wanted to make the emperor feel sorry for her and agree to her conditions, so that she could use the emperor's hand to severely punish Shen Qingyao.
"Your Majesty is so good to me. I feel like the happiest person in the world."
Liang Qiuli looked up at the emperor, her eyes sparkling with admiration and love.
The emperor's vanity was greatly satisfied by Liang Qiuli's adoring gaze, which also aroused his desires.
He lowered his head and lightly pecked Liang Qiuli's lips, his voice deep and magnetic.
"How will Pear repay me?"
Liang Qiuli sensed the unusual sensation beneath the emperor, smiled slightly, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to give you everything, as long as Your Majesty is pleased."
Upon hearing this, a look of satisfaction flashed in the emperor's eyes. He immediately picked the person up and strode towards the inner palace.
"Father, Mother"
Just as the emperor was about to indulge in Liang Qiuli's tender embrace, he suddenly heard a child's cries coming from outside.
The emperor paused, his brow furrowing slightly, clearly displeased by the sudden interruption.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liang Qiuli gently pushed the emperor away, straightened her clothes, and whispered in his ear.
"Your Majesty, may I make it up to you tonight..."
The emperor glanced at her, a flash of excitement in his eyes, then nodded, signaling her to go out and deal with the situation first.
After all, the emperor is not in a position to be seen in public right now.
Liang Qiuli understood immediately, gave a slight curtsy, and turned to leave the inner hall.
"My little darlings, let me play with you two. The Emperor and the Empress are now..."
When Liang Qiuli came out, she saw Wang Youxi smiling broadly as he talked to the two little ones, trying to coax them away.
"Mother concubine!"
"Mother, hug me~"
The two little ones danced with joy as soon as they saw Liang Qiuli, trying to break free from their nanny's embrace and rushing into Liang Qiuli's arms.
After tidying himself up, the emperor played with a few children for a while before returning to the Zichen Palace to handle memorials.
After Liang Qiuli put the two children to sleep, she called Ruyu in.
The emperor has already granted her the power to assist in managing the harem, so she cannot let down the person she was slapped for. She needs to think things through carefully.
Taking advantage of the Empress's neglect and the leisurely time of her confinement, Shen Qingyao firmly grasped power.
Otherwise, once Shen Qingyao is released from confinement, she will likely have to deal with a new round of struggles.
