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 32 Where the Heart Goes

"How can that be? I promised to make tea for him; besides, I'm already halfway done. Even if he opposes, it's not acceptable, I don't like to leave things unfinished."

Lian Hua still shook her head, insisting on getting up.

The Emperor, unable to do otherwise, let her go, got up to help her put on her outer garment, donned his own, and prepared to go out.

Seeing this, Lian Hua hastened to stop him, asking him to continue sleeping.

"What's the matter, can't even I go take a look?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow, ready to spank her if she dared say he couldn't, resolutely not allowing her to go.

After a moment's thought, Lian Hua said, "That's not it; it's just that tomorrow you need to rise early for the imperial court, and I don't wish for you to overwork yourself."

His Majesty shared her meals and bed, which by folks' standards would make him her husband, part of her own people. It was alright for him to go; it's just that she didn't want him to overexert himself.
