"Yes, it's all my fault for being stupid! I'm willing to atone for my sins with good deeds!"
When Mi Shan enters the palace in the future, I will definitely find an opportunity to offer a plan to the Empress to deal with her!
Granny Lin kept kowtowing to the ground.
"Please, Your Majesty, consider my years of loyalty and do not send me away!"
Soon, her forehead swelled up and became bruised.
The imperial concubine's face remained ashen, her beautiful face clouded with gloom.
She was no longer young, though still beautiful, but the emperor had long since grown tired of her; he only respected her because of her family background.
Over the years, she has never been able to bear the emperor a single child.
The imperial physicians couldn't diagnose anything wrong, and she gave up. With so much free time, she focused her mind on the power struggles among the concubines.
It's clear that she was extremely unhappy about not being able to nip Mi Shan in the bud.
Granny Lin had no choice but to look to Rong Ting for help.
She was the head of the Empress's inner circle and had earned the Empress's deep trust over the past decade.
"Your Majesty, since it is the will of Heaven, why not give Granny Lin a chance to redeem herself? Once Consort Mi enters the palace, we can observe the situation further. Perhaps she is not our enemy, but rather our friend."
Upon hearing Rong Ting's words, Empress Ru's expression changed, and she became thoughtful.
“You’re right. My biggest enemy right now isn’t some lowly concubine.”
Bian Lingru squinted, her eyelashes casting shadows on her eyelids, and a few faint lines at the corners of her eyes, barely noticeable unless you looked closely.
"As long as the Empress lives, I will always remain a concubine. Moreover, she has given the Emperor a Crown Prince. With her around, I will never have a chance to rise in rank. But fortunately, the Emperor values me and Consort Yu more. The Empress is only elevated because of her son."
"Moreover, the Empress's own son, the Crown Prince, is not favored by the Emperor."
"If it weren't for his good fortune in being sent to the State of Qi as a hostage when he was young, and surviving such a great battle to be welcomed back to the palace, the Emperor probably wouldn't have been willing to appoint him as the Crown Prince."
“Yes, so Your Majesty, the most urgent matter is to deal with the one above.” Rong Ting glanced upwards, giving a veiled hint.
"The Empress has never been favored by the Emperor. If Consort Mi were to join our ranks, we would bring her down sooner or later!"
Taking advantage of the situation, Granny Lin gritted her teeth and said, her narrowed eyes gleaming with cunning.
"Then I'll spare your life, you old codger. You'd better watch your step, or if you make another mistake, don't blame me for turning ruthless!"
“Look, look…”
Granny Lin kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude before leaving.
Then he went to the emperor and reported on Mi Jieyu's behavior at home, saying only the best things about her.
The emperor nodded, quite satisfied, and bestowed a reward upon him.
The day arrived when he returned to the palace.
The sun is shining brightly.
Early in the morning, a magnificent sedan chair was carried out of the Mi residence.
The locals on the roadside all pointed and gave directions.
"Look, that's the second young lady of the Mi family, who was named a Jieyu as soon as she participated in the selection!"
"I've only heard of the eldest young lady, but I didn't know the Mi family had a second young lady?"
"I heard that my mother was of lowly status and lived worse than a servant in the Mi family. Now she has turned the tables and become the master. It really is unpredictable!"
"Tch, she's just a concubine's daughter. What good could a concubine's child possibly be?"
“I have seen Mi Fen before; she is indeed beautiful. Can this Mi Shan compare to her? What kind of taste does the Emperor have?”
But the next second, the wind blew up the sedan curtain.
Mi Shan glanced indifferently out of the sedan chair.
With just one glance, those who had just uttered their wildest words were all speechless.
Mi Shan only lightly drew her eyebrows and applied some lipstick, without even using rouge, yet she was already breathtakingly beautiful.
"This...this is so beautiful!"
"Look at me, Consort Mi, look at me again!"
"Get lost! Are you out of your mind?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, guards drew their swords and drove him away.
The man fell down and pounded the ground with his fist, regretting that he wasn't born into an imperial family.
The sky was clear and blue.
Outside the majestic palace walls.
A row of sedan chairs were parked in order.
When the auspicious time arrives.
Guided by the minister in charge of ceremonies, Mi Shan helped Xun'er down from the sedan chair. Because she was a concubine, not the empress, she could only enter through a side gate.
Along the way, the minister in charge of ceremonies carried a flower basket and scattered pink petals as he walked, covering the ground with them.
It swayed in the wind and flew straight out of the high palace walls.
Mi Shan's eyes were calm, her long eyelashes were curled, and her fair skin seemed to glow in the sunlight.
She walked in first place with a dignified and graceful demeanor, followed by Consort Feng, Consort Qin, Consort Xia, Consort Murong, and several other ladies-in-waiting and maids.
A whole row of beautiful women walked along this long palace path.
It seemed that even the air was filled with a pleasant fragrance.
Because of the rules, even if they meet, they cannot speak, turn around, or look around.
Two tall and handsome figures emerged from the side door ahead.
One of them was tall and imposing, with an extraordinary air about him. His long black robe accentuated his cold and stern demeanor.
"Greetings, Your Highness..."
The minister in charge of ceremonies knelt respectfully.
Mi Shan's face flushed, and when she looked up, she met his dark eyes.
It is unfathomable, like an icy abyss, carrying unknown dangers and mysterious allure.
The scenes from that day's medical examination kept replaying in my mind.
That shame is still vivid in my mind.
He lowered his gaze and knelt down obediently.
The crowd then called out in unison, "Greetings, Your Highness."
"Rise."
Li Changyu's voice was clear and cold, his profile was indifferent and expressionless, and his exquisite face was enough to make anyone's heart flutter no matter how many times they looked at him.
