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 124 Struck Rich (Massive Update at Midnight Tonight!)

By the time Zhang Qing handed the imperial decree to her, she stood up, weighed it in her hand, and felt its texture, appreciating that the material of the decree was indeed very good.

Still unsure about some calculations, she turned to Zhang Qing and asked, "Steward Zhang, could you stay and talk with me for a moment?"

Zhang Qing had no plans to leave anyway as he needed to stay at Canglan Court to oversee things on behalf of His Majesty. Upon hearing her request, he assumed Master Lian wanted to discuss her promotion or perhaps express her gratitude towards His Majesty.

He said with a beaming smile, "Please go ahead, Master Lian."

As Lian Hua pondered, she asked, "Steward Zhang, how much is the monthly palace allowance for a beauty?"

"Huh?" Zhang Qing was a bit taken aback, almost wanting to clear his ears and listen again before quickly replying, "To answer Master Lian, it is sixty taels." He couldn't quite remember the other allowances for clothing and fabrics though.
