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 56: I seem to have seen the handkerchief before

The handkerchief had been picked up by him, as he saw it under the dressing stool before going to the court this morning, likely dropped when he had held her last night. Looking at the orchids on it, a thought struck him, and he took it with him to the court.

If it was important to her, he'd return it to her.

But he felt somewhat dissatisfied, for other than the Dew Tea, she hadn't made anything for him, and the Dew Tea was at his own request.

Even her two servants had received clay figurines she'd pinched for them. Yet, she had shown him no such affection. Ordinary women would embroider handkerchiefs or socks, or make undergarments for their husbands, but she had nothing to offer, which was truly infuriating.

The Emperor felt an unpleasant taste in his heart and thought bitterly that he shouldn't have been lenient just now, stopping when she begged for mercy. He should have tormented her a few more times to teach her a lesson.
