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 59: Anger

The Emperor's anger slowly subsided, and in silence, he remembered that her monthly silver was only ten taels, and she still had to support herself and her two servants. She did not have the silver to buy jewelry, so every day, she either wore silk flowers made by herself or flowers picked from who knows where. If she hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about it altogether.

He had only arranged for someone to provide her daily with ingredients from his private fund, and had not given her anything else. It was tough for her, staying silent about her struggles until now, when she had received a hairpin but rather than keeping it, she wanted to sell it to cover her daily expenses.

Which woman doesn't cherish beauty? It wasn't that she was thoughtless, but perhaps she faced difficulties. Let it be, then.

Seeing His Majesty silent, the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive, and Lian Hua's eyes began to mist over as she quietly turned her head away and held back her feelings.
