Jiang Imperial Consort and Son's Ambition

At night in the Kingdom of Qin's palace.

Behind the heavy walls of the palace hid the Kingdom of Qin's Emperor's beautiful partner.

Feng Yi Palace was where Maiden Jiang, the Emperor's most beloved consort, lived. When one heard her palace name, one could already guess the status of this imperial consort in the palace.

Besides, she was Prince Rui, Qin Jinhao's biological mother.

The palace maids moved quickly and held candles for the palace, illuminating the night sky.

Today was the first day of the month.

The Kingdom of Qin's palace had a rule that said the Emperor must sleep in the Empress' place every first and fifteenth of the month, so Feng Yi Palace was especially quiet tonight.

Inside the luxurious palace, there were heavy curtains and light meshes.

An elegant lady was wearing the most extravagant clothes, but she did not have any accessory on her hair, as if she was suddenly called when she was preparing to remove her makeup and go to sleep.

"Everyone is dismissed," instructed the elegant lady with a proud and lazy voice to the palace maids beside her, behind the curtain.

The palace maids bowed and left, leaving the beautiful and coy lady behind the curtains in the large palace, and the tall figure in front of the curtains.

The woman's voice sounded again and her question was directed at the tall figure. "Why did you come here so late at night?"

The figure was tall and his clothes outlined his majestic posture. Even if there was no one to complement him, it was hard to hide his aura. When he heard the woman's question, he respectfully bowed and said, "Mother, He Cheng has already gone back, but…" Then, he briefly summarized what happened at Defloration Restaurant.

After he finished his sentence, a white and thin arm extended from behind the curtains and gently moved the curtains as she walked out.

The candlelight reflected on her and showed off her beautiful and mesmerizing curves, as pretty as blossomed flowers and as gentle as the water. Her every single move was coy and charming.

However, the arrogant gaze hidden beneath her brows was accompanied by an aura that did not allow one to become close to her.

She was the Emperor's most beloved consort, Jiang Imperial Consort, and also Prince Rui - Qin Jinhao - and Princess Changle's biological mother.

Jiang Imperial Consort's sharp gaze landed on her son and was faintly stern. Her son was her pride, and compared to that b*tch's son, she felt that her son was more suitable to be the Crown Prince.

However, it was a pity that their age and seniority as consorts mattered. No matter how loved she was by the Emperor, she could not change the fact that her son was from a concubine's family.

"Hao'er, you were too careless this time," scolded Jiang Imperial Consort.

Even Qin Jinhao, who was proud and cold in front of everyone else, did not dare to say anything to defend himself. This was because in his heart, his mother had all kinds of admirable methods and tricks that were even better than all the men out there.

Jiang Imperial Consort raised her hand and gently touched her hairpin. She said, "I'm afraid you came here tonight to tell me that you're planning to give up on the He family, right?"

Qin Jinhao did not deny. "Yes, Mother. Now, He Cheng has become the top laughingstock in Luo Du. If I continue to use him, my reputation will be tarnished as well. Besides, this He Cheng isn't even useful and can't do simple things right."

Qin Jinhao's anger and dissatisfaction in his words did not escape from Jiang Imperial Consort's eyes.

Jiang Imperial Consort's eyes turned. "You're talking about teaching Mu Qingge a lesson, right?"

Qin Jinhao silently agreed.

Jiang Imperial Consort was slightly angry when she saw that her outstanding son was so impatient. She walked down the stairs to Qin Jinhao's side and sternly said, "How many times did I tell you that you have to tolerate and you need to think of the big picture? Yet, you sent someone to secretly humiliate Mu Qingge and caused him to meet with danger. If it wasn't because his personal guards sacrificed their lives to save him, he would've died. His death will affect our entire plan. Besides, nobody knows what Mu Xiong will do when he's overwhelmed with devastation."
