The woman seemed to have thought of something, and smiled smugly.

The silly version of Sherry looks unhappy!

The original owner lost to her not because of intelligence or family background, but because she fell in love with Qianlong.

Even though she understood the emperor's decision, she couldn't help but act on her emotions.

If she had even half the ambition and ruthlessness of Consort Ling, she wouldn't have grown so disgusted with Emperor Qianlong.

She was proud, disdainful of explanations or arguments.

So for a long time, even though Consort Ling was favored by Emperor Qianlong, she was depressed and could only copy scriptures to pray for peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, during the days she was absent...

Some people will do everything in their power to please the emperor.

Consort Ling undoubtedly understood people's hearts very well, or perhaps it was Emperor Qianlong himself.

A powerful emperor acts arbitrarily and does not need anyone to tell him what to do.

All he needs is someone to flatter him and try every possible way to please him.

For women, refer to Consort Ling. For men, refer to Heshen.

Without exception!

If Heshen were to confront Emperor Yongzheng, no matter how eloquent he was, he would surely be punished by Yongzheng.

There's nothing else to it; compared to flattery, he prefers people who get things done.

Therefore, there are clues to why Qianlong gradually distanced himself from his original master.

As empress, she wanted to stand with the emperor through thick and thin, and even put herself in the shoes of Hongli's wife, speaking her mind freely.

As an emperor, even if Qianlong knew he was wrong, he didn't need others to correct him.

Consort Ling grasped Emperor Qianlong's psychology.

With both emotional and reproductive value, Emperor Qianlong naturally favored her even more.

After all, it was well known that Emperor Qianlong was ambitious and vain.

"Did the Empress react?" the woman asked, as if she had remembered something.

"No!"

"Heh, wait a few more days. If our proud Empress finds out that the Emperor is mingling with a prostitute, she'll surely be furious, hehehe~" The woman laughed heartily, her face full of anticipation as she shook her handkerchief.

"That's right. Her Majesty the Empress is usually aloof and arrogant. If she knew that her husband, who was so affectionate with her just a few days ago, had been spending his days with a group of prostitutes, she would surely be furious!" The old woman also looked very confident.

The master and servant exchanged a glance, and everything was understood without a word.

Sherry smiled and said, "If we're going to play, let's play big."

The original owner almost disappeared without a trace in history.

Then let Qianlong be remembered in history!

Sherry's smile grew even wider.

Someone was arranged to deliver a few nails.

After all, the original owner had ruled the harem as empress for many years, so she must have had a lot of connections.

I also took the opportunity to learn about what had happened in the past few days.

When Consort Ling was strolling in the garden one day, she arranged for those prostitutes to come.

Emperor Qianlong was very interested at the time, and she pretended to be jealous and angry.

However, out of consideration for the emperor's hard work, she arranged for prostitutes to serve him.

Emperor Qianlong may not have collected all the beauties in the world, but he certainly saw his fair share of women, from plump to slender.

However, because of his status, he had never actually experienced the life of a prostitute in Jiangnan.

You should know that Yangzhou's "slender horses" (a euphemism for prostitutes) are very famous.

Emperor Qianlong was struck by a long-lost sense of novelty.

Consort Ling retired gracefully after achieving her goals.

He even went to pay his respects to the emperor every day for several days, intentionally covering for him.

Emperor Qianlong was even more pleased with Consort Ling's tact and understanding.

However, secrets can be kept forever.

Everyone's attention was focused on Emperor Qianlong.

Moreover, this game was originally designed to target the original owner of this body.

Rumors had already begun to circulate, but the servants of Yikun Palace, fearing the original owner would be uneasy, deliberately concealed them.

"By the way, I heard that Consort Ling arranged for people to find various fine wines yesterday, which she specially presented to His Majesty."

After reporting the matter, an ordinary-looking eunuch thought for a moment and then replied.

"I see... His Majesty must have been using aphrodisiacs lately, right?" Shirley leaned back lazily in her chair, swirling a bowl of tea in her hand.

"Yes, there's also deer blood wine to enhance the atmosphere!" The little eunuch nodded slightly again.

"There's no time like the present, let's do it today! Mix this into the wine that Consort Ling offers." Xue Li handed him a medicine packet and a stack of silver notes. "Your younger brother is quite well-educated; I heard he's interested in taking the imperial examinations?"

"Yes, this servant thanks Your Majesty for your kindness." The eunuch accepted the items and bowed.

"Then let him do his best; we need manpower right now," Sherry waved her hand.

The eunuch could not hide his joy and then withdrew.

"Have the people in front put this on. His Majesty always prefers a fresh and pleasant fragrance!" Shirley returned to the courtyard, pointed to the things on the table, and looked at Rong Mama.

"Yes, ma'am!" Rong Mama's eyes showed some doubt, but she didn't ask anything, took the things and left.

Shirley knew that, after all, everything about the original owner of this body was overseen by Rong Momo.

"Send Song Wen to see me, away from the crowd." Xue Li then looked at the head palace maid, Zhu Ling, who was standing to the side.

"Yes, Master!" Zhu Ling, always composed, nodded and withdrew.

"Baiwei, make some desserts to present to the Empress Dowager!" Xue Li wrote down a few recipes and handed them to her.

Baiwei's eyes darted around, and she happily withdrew.

As the sun was about to set, Sherry sat alone at the stone table, gazing at the shimmering water.

A figure appeared silently from the corner.

If Sherry hadn't possessed a powerful spirit, she wouldn't have noticed.

This guy is a trained fighter; his legwork is excellent.

"Arrange a handsome bodyguard for Consort Ling! Do you have anyone suitable?" Shirley asked suddenly without turning her head.

The man's eyes betrayed his astonishment, yet he still stepped forward.

"The Noble Consort Ling is renowned for her gentleness and consideration, and many guards speak highly of her!"

“That’s fine then.” Sherry thought of this person because her family’s land was seized, her relatives were bullied and beaten, and her younger sister was sold into a brothel and died within a few days.

Because of this, he was filled with rage and sought revenge, but ended up almost being hunted down and killed.

In a fit of anger, he entered the palace, but survival there was even more difficult.

Because of his good looks, some old eunuchs plotted against him.

In addition, he was skilled in martial arts, so those people couldn't do anything to him and put drugs in his food.

The original owner accidentally saved his life, and he promised to do three things for the original owner.

"Yes, but afterwards, this servant wishes to leave the palace to retire!" the man said after a moment's hesitation.

"Sure, I can also give you a fake face to keep you away from the pursuers." Sherry turned around and glanced at him, her eyes calm and indifferent.

The eunuch bowed and took his leave.

She didn't bring anything that Sherry had prepared!

Sherry closed her eyes to rest, but her soul began to connect with the system cat's advanced network.

You have to admit, he's got some skills!

That fake face costs 50 points each, and Sherry bought two.

After watching the sunset, Sherry turned and left. When she returned to the courtyard, she saw the new snow-covered mooncakes that Baiwei had made.

She picked up two pears and ate them, then began her meal.

She didn't have anyone keep watch at night. Sherry nestled in her blankets, eating the snacks she had saved up, and watching the live-action PK while she ate.
