Thinking that there were so many women in the harem who needed to be rewarded, the emperor regained his senses and only gave her the best, leaving the odds and ends for other concubines.

That night, the emperor went to the imperial concubine's palace and had dinner with Imperial Concubine Jiang. Everyone thought the emperor would stay, but he turned over the beauty's card, asked Imperial Concubine Jiang to go to bed early, and left.

Yan Bao gave face and slept with all the beauties he deserved.

Concubine Jiang was very angry, thinking that some beauty had stolen her favor and wanted to win back the emperor's heart.

That night, the little princess felt unwell and cried incessantly, which alarmed the emperor. The emperor went from the Beauty Palace to the Imperial Concubine. Looking at the little princess with rashes all over her body, the imperial physician found out that it was because she had eaten peanuts.

The little princess is allergic to peanuts and feels uncomfortable whenever she eats them.

Everyone who served knew about this, especially those in the Imperial Concubine's Palace. To prevent the little princess from accidentally eating any peanuts, not even peanut shells could be found.

The emperor asked the little princess, "Where did you get the peanuts?"

The little princess sobbed, "I don't know. Father, you must investigate. Someone is trying to harm me!"

The emperor naturally would not let anyone get away with it, so he asked Eunuch Fu to investigate thoroughly.

The imperial concubine also persuaded the emperor to go back and continue to accompany the beauty. She stayed to take care of the little princess so that she would not feel uncomfortable at night, acting like a good wife and mother.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and went to the beauty's side with Concubine Jiang's respectful farewell. The crunching sound of his feet attracted the emperor's attention.

Taking his foot away, he looked at the crushed peanuts. Eunuch Fu picked one up and took a look: "It's peanuts."

The beauty heard the noise and came out to greet him. She thought the emperor had gone to the imperial concubine's palace and would not come back, so she had already fallen asleep. Who knew that the emperor not only came, but also came with a peanut in his hand, and looked at her with a dangerous look.

The beauty was in a state of trepidation: "I pay my respects to the Emperor."

The emperor asked with a smile, "Are these peanuts from your palace?"

The beauty shook her head and said, "There are no peanuts in my palace. I don't know if that greedy palace maid accidentally dropped them on the ground. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

The emperor was no fool. Seeing such an obvious frame-up, he almost laughed. He said to Eunuch Fu in private, "Some people, unable to enjoy their good life, have to develop thoughts that they shouldn't have. It's annoying."

Eunuch Fu: “…”

Of course, why don’t you just be your favorite concubine? If you insist on being more demanding, I’m afraid your good days won’t last long!
