"Yes, I have come to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. I presume this is the newly promoted Consort Yi's younger sister?"

Jiang Zhili moved her body, broke free from Pei Lin's embrace, and leaned towards the Imperial Concubine to support herself. She said softly, "I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."

As soon as she bent her knees, Pei Lin supported her body.

Pei Lin's voice was particularly gentle: "If you are weak, don't bother with it."

After saying that, he pulled Jiang Zhili back into his arms.

Jiang Zhili has a slender figure and nestles beside Pei Lin like a dodder. The two of them are truly a perfect match.

Jiang Zhili's fair cheeks flushed, and her eyes were filled with bitterness. She looked even more beautiful than the peach blossoms in spring.

She stretched out her slender hand and weakly pushed Pei Lin, her voice delicate and gentle: "Your Majesty, don't be like this...my sister is still here."

What Pei Lin couldn't stand the most was Jiang Zhili's pampered appearance.

He said helplessly, "Then follow me back to the Qinzheng Palace and we'll talk. I haven't even had breakfast in order to find you. My beloved concubine, please make it up to me."

After saying that, Pei Lin hugged Jiang Zhili and walked out of the Cining Palace without even looking at the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine looked at the two people leaving intimately, her eyes turning red with anger.

At this moment, she no longer had the intention to see the Empress Dowager, so she turned around and left the Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager was sitting in the main hall, listening to the noise at the door. She fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand with an indifferent expression.

Gui Ma Ma said with a worried look on her face: "Empress Dowager, would you like me to go and see Gui Fei and comfort her?"

The Imperial Concubine and Your Majesty are childhood sweethearts. The Imperial Concubine has been in love with Your Majesty since she was young. After entering the palace, she has been favored in the harem because of her childhood friendship with Your Majesty.

Now that a new favored person has suddenly come in, it is normal for the imperial concubine's mood to be affected.

The Empress Dowager's expression remained unchanged: "Such a large harem needs an heir. The Imperial Concubine will have to figure this out sooner or later."

No one is better than an offspring.

Aunt Gui responded softly and said nothing more.

*****

The imperial concubine returned to the palace angrily. As soon as she reached the door, she kicked the maid guarding the door.

After entering the hall, his eyes were red and he threw the cup on the table to the ground.

Jiang Zhili's beautiful face kept flashing in her mind.

"Bitch! Bitch! Bitch! She actually seduced His Majesty outside the palace!" The imperial concubine's pretty face became extremely distorted at this moment.

She hated Jiang Zhili.

Bai Cui, the maidservant beside the imperial concubine, tried to comfort her carefully: "Your Highness, please don't get too angry. She's just a woman.

According to His Majesty's situation, even if His Majesty favors her now, it won't last long. She rose to power by relying on her looks, and Your Majesty and the Empress have a childhood friendship..."

After hearing what Bai Cui said, the imperial concubine sitting on the stool felt a little less angry.

She glanced at Bai Cui in front of her and snorted coldly, "You do have some truth in what you say. The decades of friendship between His Majesty and I cannot be compared to that of Concubine Yi."

She was angry because she had planned everything, but still fell into Concubine Yi's trap and was even sent to the dragon bed by Concubine Yi herself!

When she thought of this, she wanted to kill Concubine Yi!

Bai Cui flattered the Imperial Concubine, "That's right, besides the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Concubine is the person closest to His Majesty in the harem.

Otherwise, His Majesty would not have handed the harem over to you to manage. Since she has entered the palace, even if she is a concubine, she is still under your control."

The imperial concubine's heart was completely relieved.

She looked at the teacup that she had smashed to the ground, with viciousness flashing in her eyes. She sneered and called out to Bai Cui.

"Go, give Concubine Yi the bracelet with a strange fragrance that I found in the Western Regions."

The bracelet was crystal clear and had a unique fragrance that any woman would find irresistible.

The bracelet was given to her by her father before she entered the palace.

After entering the palace, she placed the bracelet in musk and a variety of spices and soaked it carefully for three years. Only after confirming that His Majesty was ill did she take out the bracelet and put it in a corner.

The imperial concubine herself had not thought that there would be a day when she would have to take out the bracelet, but given the current situation, she had to be on guard, even though she did not believe what the host said.

Bai Cui was surprised and hesitated: "Your Majesty, would this be inappropriate? The Empress Dowager is very careful with Concubine Yi.

If I give the bracelet away now, will it arouse the Empress Dowager's suspicion?"

"Stop talking too much! Just send it quickly if I tell you to," the imperial concubine rolled her eyes at Bai Cui, very impatient.

The Queen Mother is her aunt, how could she suspect her?

Bai Cui responded softly and then walked out.

The imperial concubine looked at the armor that had been broken by her fingertips due to her excitement, and hatred emerged in her heart again.

If after some time, His Majesty still favors that bitch, then don't blame her for being cruel!

--------------------

Jiang Zhili's side.

Pei Lin took her directly to the Qinzheng Hall.

On ordinary days, the concubines in the harem are not allowed to enter and leave the Qinzheng Hall at will. This is where the emperor works and meets with important ministers of the previous dynasty. Concubines are not allowed to enter.

And at this time.

Jiang Zhili was sitting at the table in the hall, having breakfast with Pei Lin.

Pei Lin looked at the pretty girl across from him who was eating porridge in small sips, and felt a softness in his heart.

He couldn't help but reach out and hold Jiaoniang's left hand, saying softly: "Xunyu Palace is too far, please move to Qingshu Palace.

The Qingshu Palace is cool in the summer and is close to my Qinzheng Palace, so it's a good place."

The Qingshu Palace is some distance away from the Qianqing Palace, but very close to the Qinzheng Palace.
