Faced with such torture, Jian Yang had completely lost any desire to amass wealth.
She even felt a chill run down her spine!
These things are hardly treasures.
They were all clearly her death warrants!
If someone tries to frame her in the future, it will be difficult for her to prove her innocence.
I thought being an empress would just be tiring, but who would have thought it would be such a high-risk job?
No, she doesn't want to be empress for even a day longer!
Seeing Jian Yang's initial excitement turn into constant shaking of her head, Lian Xia asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Should I summon the imperial physician?"
Jian Yang waved her hand.
"Lianxia, you must have these things returned to where they came from! From now on, you are not allowed to accept anything from anyone without my permission!"
She wanted to be a good empress who was incorruptible and honest!
Lianxia was a little uncertain, "Then... what if the Emperor and Empress Dowager send something over?"
Jian Yang slapped his forehead.
She had completely forgotten about these two great deities.
"Apart from these two items, nothing else may be accepted without my permission!"
That night, Jian Yang, who usually slept very well, suffered from insomnia.
She admitted she was scared.
She's only nineteen years old; her life is just beginning!
At this beautiful age, one should naturally use it to love, eat, drink, have fun, and experience the world.
Instead of spending every day as a wage earner, only to waste the best years of my life in this deep palace...
She is now eager to resign.
I've made up my mind, I must resign!
The next day, Jian Yang, sporting dark circles under her eyes, jumped out of bed and ordered, "Lian Xia, come and do my makeup."
Lianxia thought she just wanted to cover up her dark circles, so she added some loose powder under her eyes on top of her usual makeup.
"Your Majesty, the makeup is done."
Lian Xia stood aside, waiting for Jian Yang's approval.
Upon hearing this, she opened her eyes, looked at herself in the mirror, and shook her head. "Redo it!"
Lianxia was stunned.
Today's makeup is no different from usual, and even a little more refined.
Has Your Majesty taken the wrong medicine?
Seeing that she hadn't made any move, Jian Yang forgot that she was the client and forgot to make her demands.
He immediately cleared his throat. "This is too plain. Give me a makeover that makes me look like an absolute enchantress!"
The moment she got out of bed, she made up her mind.
If one doesn't use some special means, it's likely that one won't be able to relinquish the position of Empress.
So now she is no longer the hardworking and easily bullied little empress of the past, but Empress Niohuru who has returned from Ganlu Temple!
"One, one chicken? Does Your Majesty want to play mahjong?"
Jian Yang: "..."
This girl clearly didn't get what she meant.
Jian Yang had no choice but to patiently explain, "It means you look extremely beautiful and alluring, understand?"
Lianxia nodded.
She understood.
But the empress is a model of virtue for the nation. Wouldn't such exaggerated and frivolous makeup be inappropriate?
That's all...
Since it was the Empress's order, she would do as she was told!
A moment later, Jian Yang, sporting stunningly beautiful makeup, appeared before everyone.
This terrified all the concubines who had come to pay their respects!
Everyone exchanged horrified glances, none of them knowing what the Empress was up to today.
As usual, the palace maids served tea to the ladies.
Just as Lianxia was about to place Jianyang's cup of tea in front of her, Jianyang made a stop gesture.
She had no choice but to stand aside with her teacup in hand.
“Consort Yu,” Jian Yang said with a smile as she looked at Consort Yu, who was quietly sipping her tea. “I think your hands are really beautiful. I imagine the tea you serve yourself must taste even sweeter.”
The concubines were stunned, their eyes blazing with gossip!
The Empress is up to no good!
Consort Yu was surprised that the Empress would suddenly call on her. She was stunned for a moment, then realized that the Empress wanted her to serve tea and water, and immediately became angry!
She slammed the teacup down on the table, her tone haughty, "Empress, what do you mean?"
Let's fight! Let's fight!
The concubines, eager for a good show, cheered wildly in their hearts.
Jian Yang snorted coldly, showing no sign of backing down, "What I'm saying, don't you understand?"
"Your Majesty, I am dull-witted and do not understand." Consort Yu remained unmoved.
"Then you'd better listen carefully. I'm asking you to come and serve me tea. Do you understand now?"
How could Consort Yu tolerate being humiliated in front of so many people?
He immediately slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "Empress, I advise you not to push your luck!"
“I’m bullying you, what can you do about it?” Jian Yang’s eyes were full of provocation.
Consort Yu never expected that the Empress would so blatantly humiliate her!
She was so angry that her chest heaved violently.
His eyes seemed to want to devour Jian Yang alive.
But Jian Yang continued to rub salt in the wound, "What, as the Empress of a nation, is it beneath you to serve me tea? Otherwise, I'll speak to the Emperor and ask if you could take the Empress's seat?"
Upon hearing Jian Yang mention the emperor, Consort Yu immediately backed down.
But she was still unwilling to give up, and finally gritted her teeth and served tea to Jian Yang.
But Jian Yang just wouldn't stop.
Besides serving tea and water, I would ask her to peel apples one minute and grapes the next.
Today, Consort Yu was thoroughly tormented by her.
The other concubines, who were watching the spectacle, originally thought that the Empress just wanted to cause trouble for Consort Yu, and they were all enjoying the show.
Who knew that after the Empress had finished tormenting Consort Yu, she would turn her attention to them—
