Palace Fighting: Naive Concubines' Ascent to Power

In the first episode, Little Palace Maid Lian Hua, holding tea leaves, thought to curry favor with Zhaoyi. The Emperor intercepted her halfway, and before she could react, he hijacked her tea leaves, leaving her bewildered. In the second episode, she wanted to curry favor with the Noble Consort. During the Noble Consort's birthday feast, she hadn't even presented the meticulously prepared tea leaves before the Emperor seized them, leaving her aggrieved. In the third episode, she had just sneaked out with the Palace Maids to pick bamboo shoots, planning to go back and cook something delicious when the Emperor burst out of nowhere wanting to freeload a meal. If it wasn't tasty, he would punish her, she managed to barely pass muster by exerting all her energy. Before she could feel relieved, the Emperor told her he was also staying to sleep! This time, he was thoroughly taking advantage of her, enjoying free food and lodging without the slightest intention of rewarding her. At night, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. All the silver she had saved up in earlier years had been used to sustain the Emperor. Now that the money was gone, she feared being punished for not being able to support him in the future. The more she thought, the sadder she got, her tears plopping down, which woke the Emperor sleeping beside her. In a flurry, the Emperor consoled her, "There, there, don't cry, don't cry. I haven't even had time to reward you, how could I punish you!" After much consoling, and finally with his promise to provide for her sustenance, she turned her tears into laughter. The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. This Little Concubine would need to be favored properly from now on—he dared not make her cry again. →→【This story has concluded, thank you for reading】→→ New book recommendation: "Consort of the Roll-Royce is Here, Run!"—It's a good read!

Chapter 36: The Flower Viewing Banquet Begins

So, taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, she stealthily took a piece of pastry and placed it on her handkerchief, pretending to wipe her mouth with the handkerchief while she let the pastry dissolve in her mouth. After lightly pressing her lips together a few times, she swallowed with her saliva, savoring the sweet taste filling her mouth.

Lian Hua, feeling satisfied, squinted her eyes in delight, indeed the pastries at the Noble Consort's flower-viewing banquet were delicious.

The Emperor's peripheral vision had been on her; glancing over occasionally, he caught this scene and couldn't help but let out a cold smirk, thinking to himself that after he had just treated Little Concubine a bit better, her audacity had grown considerably. Daring to sneak food right under his watch, it seemed that she needed a proper lesson that evening.
