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 99: Strike the Snake at the Seven-Inch Vital Spot

By the time Lian Hua reached the fork leading to the Harem and the Imperial Garden at the Star Palace, she spotted a Palace Maid walking by the roadside, holding something in her hands. The maid's eyes widened in disbelief, as if she had seen a ghost.

Lian Hua passed by the Palace Maid without a hint of emotion, followed by Xiao Linzi as the two made their way into the distance.

Upon returning to Canglan Court, Lian Hua's gaze softened.

Entering the courtyard, she found Xiao Jizi hunched over with his back to her, looking despondent, while Xiao Qing stood in front of him, speaking about something, her eyes swollen like walnuts.

Seeing them, warmth flooded Lian Hua's heart, and a heat spread around her eyes. She called out, "Xiao Qing, Xiao Jizi, I'm back."

"Young Master!" They both exclaimed in unison.

Xiao Qing, with her swollen eyes, ran over, tugging anxiously at Lian Hua, "Young Master, are you alright?" she asked.
