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 42: Return to Canglan Court

The palace servant, experienced in observing and listening, sensed that the Noble Consort was in a particularly bad mood, and couldn't help but tremble in apprehension.

"To report to the Consort, we have some leads. This Daying Lian was a Palace Maid, chosen at the age of eleven, and has been in the palace for over six years. Two years ago, she served in the Star Palace, and somehow, His Majesty favored her, bestowed upon her the title of Cainv, and assigned her to Canglan Court..."

The Noble Consort raised her hand to interrupt her, "Tell me something I don't know."

This old servant was only spouting nonsense. How did each and every concubine rise in ranks? As the one in charge of the six palaces, how could she not know?

"Yes, the servant followed the records, and found that she hails from Yanqing. Originally, when the palace was selecting palace maids, they went to Yanqing, and she was chosen then."
