Chapter 357 Brother's Death and Brother's Death 6
"Whether I can be favored by the emperor depends on his will. But if Concubine Wu wants to be good to me, she should first gain the emperor's favor. You must know..." Jiang Chunxi sneered, "You must know that in this palace, being unfavored is lowly. Without the emperor's favor, what are you, Concubine Wu, in my eyes!"
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Jiang Chunxi left with Wen Qing behind her.
Concubine Wu was so angry that she wanted to scream: "Concubine Jiang, I will never forgive you."
"My lady, isn't it a bad idea to humiliate Concubine Wu like this?" Wen Qing walked behind Jiang Chunxi and whispered, "If the emperor favors Concubine Wu and Concubine Wu slanders you in front of the emperor, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Chunxi said disdainfully. "With Concubine Wu's brain, I'm afraid she will slander me in front of the emperor. Some people are born mean. The more you treat her with a good temper, the more excited she will be."
"So, when dealing with someone like Concubine Wu, you must not be polite to her."
After hearing what her master said, Wen Qing said nothing more.
Tonight, the emperor finally did not flip Jiang Chunxi's card again, but went to the Queen's palace. Then in the next few days, the emperor flipped through the green cards of the new concubines who entered the palace.
It is worth mentioning here that Concubine Wu was returned intact. It turned out that Concubine Wu really complained to the emperor when she was serving him in the emperor's bedchamber, which made the emperor very angry, so he directly ordered people to send Concubine Wu back.
The emperor favors concubines mainly to relax and have children, not to listen to concubines gossiping and complaining. What's more, the emperor is very satisfied with Jiang Chunxi, so it is naturally impossible for him to punish Jiang Chunxi for the sake of Concubine Wu, whom he has not even favored yet.
So! It is rare to find someone as stupid as Concubine Wu. In short, Concubine Wu became a joke in the palace and hid in her own palace and dared not go out.
After flipping through the green cards of the new concubines entering the palace, the emperor flipped through Jiang Chunxi's green card.
"Your Majesty," Jiang Chunxi coquettishly leaned against the emperor, "I thought Your Majesty had forgotten me. You don't know, I have been thinking about Your Majesty so much these days that my heart aches. If you don't believe me, Your Majesty, please touch me."
As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi grabbed the emperor's hand and placed it on her chest, then gave the emperor a charming look: "Your Majesty, you should believe what I say now!"
"Oh!" The emperor smiled playfully, "What if I don't believe what my beloved concubine said?"
"Oh! Your Majesty, you are so bad!" Jiang Chunxi threw herself into the emperor's arms, "Your Majesty only knows how to bully me and doesn't understand my heart at all. This makes me so sad. Your Majesty needs to comfort me. Otherwise, if my heart is broken, how can I serve Your Majesty?"
"Then how do you want me to coax you, my beloved concubine?" The emperor's hands began to move on Jiang Chunxi's body. "Is that so?"
"Your Majesty, you are so bad," Jiang Chunxi gasped, "But I just like your Majesty to be bad to me like this."
"You little devil." The emperor knocked Jiang Chunxi down.
The emperor was really very satisfied with Jiang Chunxi, especially in that aspect. Even the queen could not compare to her. It could be said that Jiang Chunxi was the only woman who could bring him ultimate happiness in that aspect.
Therefore, the emperor naturally had more affection for Jiang Chunxi, unlike other concubines, who were forgotten by him after he favored her.
That night Jiang Chunxi naturally served the emperor very well, and the next day she was promoted to concubine.
Men are always generous to the women they love, even the emperor is the same. Since he loves Jiang Chunxi, he is not reluctant to make her a concubine even if she has no children.
"It seems that this Concubine Jiang is quite a person," the Queen Mother was very pleased to learn that Jiang Chunxi was given a concubine because she had no children. "Among the new concubines in the palace, only Concubine Jiang is somewhat useful. I will have someone pick some things for Concubine Jiang later. If she can serve the emperor well, I will naturally reward her well."
"Yes, I will arrange it right away," said Nanny Bai, the empress dowager's confidant. "But the emperor directly made Concubine Jiang a concubine without consulting the empress. Given the empress's temper, she will probably be angry."
"Ha!" The Queen Mother sneered, "That stupid queen does get angry. Well, in order to prevent her from causing any harm, you should go to the Queen's Palace now!"
"Yes, I will go and persuade the Queen on behalf of the Empress Dowager." Nanny Bai said respectfully and immediately retreated.
And when Nanny Bai came to the Queen's palace, the Queen was indeed angry.
"What's wrong with the Queen? Why is she so angry?" Nanny Bai asked worriedly as she walked in. "If the Queen Mother knew that the Queen was so angry, she would be very worried."
"Madame Bai is here." The Queen always gave some respect to Madame Bai for the Queen Mother's sake. "Someone, come here! Let Madame Bai sit down."
"I thank the Empress for her gift," Nanny Bai said as she sat down on a small stool brought by the palace maid. "The Empress is probably angry because Concubine Jiang was promoted to a concubine because she had no children! The Empress Dowager knew that the Emperor promoted Concubine Jiang to a concubine without informing you, and she knew you would be very angry, so she asked me to come and see."
"And now it seems that the Queen Mother's worries were indeed correct. The Queen was indeed angry about this matter."
"Madame Bai, what do you think the emperor means by this?" The queen became furious when she heard what Madame Bai said. "I don't care that the emperor favors Concubine Jiang, nor do I care that the emperor promotes Concubine Jiang to a concubine. But the emperor did not inform me and directly issued an order to promote Concubine Jiang to a concubine. What's the difference between this and slapping me in the face?"
Although the Queen did not love the Emperor and even hated him very much, she was still very pleased with the Emperor's favor towards her. But now the Emperor seemed to be interested in another woman, which made the Queen extremely uncomfortable.
It seemed as if her unique favor had been taken away by someone else, which the queen could not accept. That was why she was so angry.
In short, the queen herself may not love the emperor, but the emperor must never love her and at the same time be interested in other women.
"What the emperor did was really unfair," Nanny Bai said. "The Empress is the head of the harem, and this promotion to concubine means the head of a palace. Even if the emperor likes Concubine Jiang very much and wants to promote her to concubine, he should have discussed it with the Empress in advance."
"However," Nanny Bai changed the subject, "from another perspective, this is actually a good thing."
