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 165: Can I Pretend to be Sick and Not Go?

After Talented Lady Jia left, Talented Lady Sun greatly regretted it, annoyed at herself for not being able to control her mouth and letting that gossip hear her words. What would she do if it got out?

Beauty Zhao gave her a suggestion, why not take the initiative to go and apologize to the Noble Consort, saying she was muddled and spoke nonsense for a moment. If she admitted her fault proactively, the Noble Consort had always been on their side; she would not be too harsh.

Attendant Zhou didn't say much, but Talented Lady Sun thought it made sense, so the three of them went their separate ways, with Talented Lady Sun heading to Huaqing Palace.

In the Main Hall of Canglan Court, Zhang Qing sat resting, wiping his sweat while watching the craftsmen work. Not far away, there was a pile of wood on the ground, brought over that morning to be used for repairs.
