Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 127 The Imperial Concubine is Using Her as a Shield Again Today

Early in the morning, Chun Tao came to wake Jiang He up.

Today, all the concubines in the palace will come to pay their respects, so Jiang He also needs to get up early to prepare.

Jiang He noticed that Chun Tao still had dark circles under her eyes.

"Chuntao, did you sleep well last night? It's your first time away from home, so you didn't sleep well."

"Your Highness, I didn't sleep well either. Xiahe said we're not used to our own beds. There's no place like home."

"Sigh, I didn't sleep well to begin with, and now I have to get up so early."

I'll tell them later not to come and pay their respects.

Jiang He took out the incense for conceiving a daughter and asked Qiu Ju to burn it.

The concubines arrived at Fengzao Palace one after another.

Yesterday, we only heard his voice but did not see him.

They also received gifts from the Imperial Concubine. Today, no one deliberately disrespected the Imperial Concubine; everyone arrived early to wait for her.

Qiuju invited everyone to sit down and served tea.

After everyone had arrived, Chun Tao accompanied Jiang He out.

The first reaction everyone had when they saw Jiang He was that the Imperial Concubine was really small.

He still looks like a child.

No wonder the Emperor didn't stay overnight at Fengzao Palace last night.

The concubines breathed a sigh of relief.

The Imperial Concubine entered the palace with the rank of Imperial Concubine, placing her above everyone else.

Naturally, everyone felt somewhat uneasy.

However, the imperial concubine is still young, and it will probably be two years before she can even serve the emperor, so their sense of crisis is not so strong.

Otherwise, once the Imperial Concubine enters the palace, she might take away a lot of the Emperor's favor.

The emperor rarely visited the harem; he spent half the month away from it.

Half of them came to the harem during the day to sit for a while.

There were still half and half of the other half. The Emperor said he was too tired and just chatted with them under the covers.

Only a handful of women could win the Emperor's favor in a month.

Moreover, the emperor's favors were distributed equally, making him incredibly fair.

I haven't been here this month, but I'll definitely come next month.

He must have visited all the concubines.

This is also why lower-ranking concubines had the opportunity to see the emperor.

Jiang He looked at the people sitting below.

There were four imperial concubine ranks: Consort De, Consort Jing, Consort Xian, and Consort Shu.

There are two concubine ranks: Yue Pin and Jing Pin.

The two consorts were Liu Zhaoyi and Chen Zhaoyi.

The three consorts were: Consort Li, Consort An, and Consort Zhao.

The four beauties are: Lady Wang, Lady Sun, Lady Wu, and Lady Zhu.

Including her, there are a total of sixteen concubines in the harem.

The Emperor spent half a month with Consort Yue, and the remaining half a month he had to travel to all over the harem. The Emperor must be quite tired.

No wonder there are complaints about the emperor's incompetence.

After all, every time she went there she said she was a little tired and needed to go to sleep and rest, which made her look very weak.

Jiang He rambled on, trying to keep people talking.

Consort Yue looked at Jiang He sitting at the front and was extremely jealous.

She always had a faint smile on her face, possessing a beauty that seemed detached from the world.

The smile finally broke when the emperor's reward arrived.

The Emperor deliberately chose this time.

He instructed Li Defu to deliver the rewards only when all the concubines were present.

This also allowed everyone to see how favored the Imperial Concubine was.

As Li Defu announced a long list of rewards, various gifts were brought in one by one and placed in front of everyone.

I deeply understand just how much the Emperor favored the Imperial Concubine.

Consort Yue couldn't help but smile.

A wave of bitterness welled up in my heart.

Yesterday, the Emperor said he would give her the best of everything.

Today, so many things were presented to the Imperial Concubine in public.

She could only watch from the sidelines.

The other concubines also had various reactions.

This was clearly a time the Emperor deliberately chose, so that everyone would know how much he valued the Imperial Concubine.

Jiang He sincerely thanked Li Defu for making the trip.

He rewarded me with a large purse.

Jiang He didn't ask them to take the things away; she just left them in front of everyone for them to admire.

After sitting for a full half hour, Jiang He finally announced the end of the tea party.

And this tea party is not planned to continue for the time being.

She works every day, but she still doesn't have that much tea.

In the evening, the Emperor came to dine.

He was not happy to learn that Jiang He had canceled her greetings.

It is only when people get together that disputes and conflicts can arise.

Only then can a conflict arise, allowing Jiang He to fight it out.

If we don't pay our respects, how often will we have the chance to meet?

Today he specially sent Li Defu to deliver the reward.

Several people are already itching to get started.

I believe that if we have a few more chances, we'll definitely be able to fight.

Two people made soup for him and sent it over today.

However, the Emperor went to coax Consort Yue today, and it is said that Consort Yue's expression changed as soon as Li Defu arrived.

The Emperor specially brought some gifts to present to Consort Yue.

I spent the whole day with Consort Yue, and we only just parted ways.

If he hadn't already promised the Imperial Concubine he would dine with her tonight, he wouldn't have wanted to make this trip.

After dinner, he will go to see Consort Yue again.

Let's try to coax her again.

"Why don't you let them come and pay their respects?"

"I'm so tired, Your Majesty. I don't want to have to get up so early every day."

Anyway, I've already met all these women.

"Does the Imperial Concubine think the time for paying respects is too early? Then let's adjust the time and have them come to pay their respects after breakfast."

You are at a crucial stage of growth, so it's essential that you get enough sleep and eat well.

"It was my oversight. I will have Li Defu inform them of the new time for paying their respects."

Since the Emperor had said so, Jiang He readily agreed.

It seems the Emperor's visit was merely a perfunctory meal, and a way to urge Jiang He to get things out of control as soon as possible.

After the meal, the emperor hurriedly returned home.

Then he pretended to be very busy and locked himself inside.

Hurry up and head towards Mingyue Palace.

Consort Yue had not finished her meal.

The food was laid out on the table, but no one touched it.

The emperor felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this.

"Why isn't Yue'er eating properly?"

"Your Majesty, you've arrived. Yue'er thought Your Majesty wouldn't come to see Yue'er."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If I don't look for you, who else should I look for?"

"Come on, eat your food, I'll feed you."

The Emperor ate in a hurry at Jiang He's place and didn't eat much.

This time, I ate it all together with Consort Yue, taking turns eating a bite and a spoonful at a time.

The Emperor spent the entire night finally managing to appease Consort Yue.

The Emperor felt that changing the time of his morning greetings was a good idea, as it would allow Yue'er to sleep a little longer.

The atmosphere during today's greetings was much more relaxed than yesterday's.

Everyone had eaten breakfast.

There's a huge difference between a well-rested and well-fed person coming to pay their respects and one who hasn't slept well and is hungry.

Everyone is happy to sit down and chat.

The atmosphere was so good that even the Emperor was getting anxious.

The Emperor was not pleased to see these relationships improve one by one.

They came up with a solution overnight.

The Emperor agreed to dine with the Imperial Concubine, but then went to dine with the Virtuous Consort, thus standing up the Imperial Concubine.

After the Emperor finished his meal at Consort Xian's place, he went to apologize to Consort Gui.

He didn't skip the meal on purpose; he met Consort Xian on the way, and she invited him to dine with her.

But he came over immediately after finishing his meal, afraid that the imperial concubine would be angry.

The Emperor was constantly trying to sow discord between Jiang He and others.

Unexpectedly, a major problem arose on Consort Yue's side first.
