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 68 The Number One Sleep Lover in the Harem (Update at 8 AM)

"It was Young Master Lian who personally said it..." The young eunuch who had been sent recounted the original words verbatim. Zhang Qing also felt surprised. His Majesty had not taken it back, yet Canglan Court voluntarily refused it; Young Master Lian actually had integrity, but such integrity was of little use in the harem."

The Emperor could not help but seethe with rage. What did she mean by this? How had she pleaded with him for gifts the previous night, and now she refused what was given?

What was she trying to pull? Could it be that she wanted to catch his attention, to make him come over?

If that was the case, why hadn't she chased after him that night?

The Emperor was still troubled by the fact that she had not chased after him; these past few days, he had often thought that if she had chased him, perhaps he would have pitied her and stayed?

But there were no ifs; she hadn't chased after him to make him stay, and he hadn't stayed either.
