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 146: Going to Receive Punishment

After everything was packed up, Master Lian was ready to lead her entourage back to the estate, brimming with joy.

Zhang Qing blocked their path with a bow and asked her smilingly, "Master Lian, I'm not sure if His Majesty will come for lunch today. Perhaps we should send Xiao Linzi to inquire?"

Master Lian found the suggestion extremely sensible and nodded in agreement, "Chief steward, you always consider things so thoroughly. Xiao Linzi, off you go quickly."

It had slipped her mind, but usually, His Majesty rarely came for lunch. It wouldn't hurt to ask, and it would help in planning the meal better.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Linzi emerged from the crowd. Before he left, Chief Steward Zhang, still smiling, told him to explain to His Majesty in great detail about how Master Lian caught fish for the meal, the more details, the better.

Xiao Linzi accepted the task, but he always felt that Chief Steward Zhang's gaze was chilly and unsettling.
