"Of course it’s true, I am the Emperor, a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold, how could I deceive you?" The Emperor was in a very good mood today, agreeing to whatever the beauty said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The beauty was nearly moved to tears with joy. Having been in the palace for a few years, she had not yet had the opportunity to lie in wait for the Emperor. Today, the Empress suddenly arranged for her to attend to the Emperor, which was already a huge surprise. She never expected the Emperor would let her lie in wait for him tonight as well.
For a woman chosen to enter the Imperial Palace, receiving the Emperor’s favor naturally ant limitless glory. Within the palace, she would have whatever she wished for. Without it, she would be living a miserable life, bullied by other concubines, which was commonplace. If unfortunately, she were to be used and killed by others, she would be wrapped in a blanket, carried out of the palace, and dumped in the Mass Grave, without even a title.
If one wanted to stand out in the palace, there was no other way but to please the Emperor.
Looking at the tear-streaked beauty, the Emperor laughed: "I’m so happy today, why are you crying?"
"Your Majesty’s favor brings happiness to this concubine."
Afraid of displeasing the Emperor, the beauty quickly used a small handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face. It was not easy to gain the Emperor’s favor, she could not afford to displease him.
"Ahahaha...!"
The beauty’s gesture amused the Emperor, who couldn’t help but laugh heartily again.
"Noble Consort Wang has arrived!"
At that mont, a sharp shout ca from outside the door by the Little Eunuch.
The beauty’s face changed slightly. At this crucial mont, why was Noble Consort Wang here? However, due to her low status, she didn’t dare to make any noise, obediently hiding in the Emperor’s embrace, blinking her big eyes, and looking a little enviously towards the door...
At this mont, a slender and stunning beauty entered from outside. Her brows were gracefully soft, her skin fine and smooth like warm jade, her tiny cherry mouth naturally red. Two strands of hair softly brushed her cheeks, adding an alluring charm. Her lively eyes sparkled mischievously, wearing a pink palace dress, her waist too slender to hold, she looked like an ethereal fairy untouched by the secular world.
"This concubine greets Your Majesty."
"Ahahaha, beloved consort, co quickly." The Emperor, upon seeing Noble Consort Wang, was very happy and naturally pushed aside the beauty in his arms, beckoning to Noble Consort Wang.
The beauty froze for a mont, not daring to say anything, obediently retreating to the side, secretly hating Noble Consort Wang. Just when she was about to beco the Phoenix, Noble Consort Wang ca to disrupt things at such a critical mont.
Noble Consort Wang, with a full smile, walked in front of the Emperor and sat down beside him, discreetly glancing at the beauty nearby.
Earlier, an informant had co to report that the Empress had sent a beauty to attend to the Emperor. Noble Consort Wang and the Empress were sworn enemies. Now that the Fourth Prince had been deposed, and it seed more and more likely for the Eldest Prince to succeed, at this critical juncture, Noble Consort Wang feared any changes and hurried to the Nurturing Heart Palace to stir things up.
Even though the Empress had adopted the Second Prince under her na, the sudden incident with the Fourth Prince was a significant blow to her. Recently, the Empress had not been handling matters as decisively as she used to. Noble Consort Wang saw an opportunity and felt she must not give the Empress a chance to recover.
"Your Majesty, who is this beautiful sister?" Noble Consort Wang asked coquetishly, her voice sweet and charming.
The Emperor replied casually, "Just a consort."
"Oh, even a consort can attend to the Emperor? What good fortune she has." Noble Consort Wang continued to smile brightly.
A consort was the lowest ranked woman in the harem, typically having no chance to see the Emperor unless soone deliberately arranged it.
