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 157: Exclusive Affection for One Person

The Emperor was precocious and had received scant affection in his life, leading him to develop a reserved and laconic nature. Since he was a mere child, he had grown accustomed to the malicious nature of people and learned to hide his true self. Even in the presence of the Former Empress Dowager, he never allowed himself to relax, showing none of the usual playfulness of childhood. Later, he matured beyond his years, becoming a man known for his aloofness.

When the Emperor sought her out this time, she indeed noticed a change in him that was different from the past. He wasn't as cold as before, and he had a touch of common warmth about him. It seemed that the credit belonged to the little girl within.

All of a sudden, she thought of a possibility and cried out in shock, "Your Majesty, you couldn't possibly intend to favor only one person in the harem, could you?"

The Emperor smiled faintly and said, "Nanny Qi, what's wrong with that?"
