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 71: Familiar Objects

Zhang Qing knelt on the ground with a thud, his face a picture of grief as he said, "Your Majesty, I did not manage in time, and the words I intended to say were all interrupted. I am incompetent and failed to carry out the task Your Majesty entrusted to me. I am truly incompetent."

"You were only to casually take something back and, in conversation, gauge her intentions. How could you still fail to accomplish that?" The Emperor was puzzled. Zhang Qing was highly capable, and yet, he was led astray by that Little Concubine? He couldn't handle such a simple matter?

"Yes, I intended to do just that, but, but I had just met with Young Master Lian and before I had a chance to say anything, I just..."

At this moment, noise came from outside the hall; it was Xiao Linzi and the others, huffing and puffing as they carried a table back. Zhang Qing let out an "Ah" and said, "Here it is, you'd better have a look yourself." He simply couldn't clarify the situation.
