Chapter 2308: Pleasing the Emperor is the only way to survive
Fu'er said softly, "Then Jieyu, what are you going to do?"
“…”
"Will she always be suppressing me like this?"
"Of course not!"
Chen Lianxiang said solemnly, word by word, "I entered the palace to make a name for myself, not to be oppressed by others in this life."
"Then what are you going to do, Jieyu?"
“…”
"Don't tell me, you want to deal with—"
Fu'er asked this, and she was also very timid.
You have to know that as a Concubine... Chen Lianxiang is nothing, not even the head of a palace. Even Huipin, who was the head of a palace before, could only make a living under the Imperial Concubine.
If Chen Lianxiang wanted to go against the imperial concubine now, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
It's basically a dead end.
She thought so, and Chen Lianxiang also thought so.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and thought about the situation before her. Then she said slowly, "Now, it's not the time yet."
“…”
"I am just a small concubine. I don't have the energy to compete with a noble concubine. Now is not the time for me to take action."
"What does Concubine Jieyu think?"
Chen Lianxiang bit her lower lip, her snow-white teeth against the bright red lips. Although her lips were red and her teeth were white, they were very beautiful, but there was an inexplicable murderous intent. She said slowly: "She is always on guard against me, so I don't need to be so warm-faced as to approach her."
“…”
"Besides, she's so difficult to serve, I'm too lazy to serve her."
“…”
"After all, it may seem like she's the most respected person in the harem, but it's the emperor who gave her this position."
“…”
"Our previous thinking was all wrong. If we try to please her, we'll only be under her control until death, and we won't be able to surpass her. But the Emperor—if we try to please the Emperor, that's our true path to survival."
When Fu'er heard this, she nodded.
That’s right, the person they should really please is the emperor.
The emperor is the one who truly controls their life and death, promotion, honor and disgrace.
She asked softly, "Then, how does Concubine Jieyu plan to serve the Emperor?"
Chen Lianxiang thought for a moment and said, "We have to find a way to do this. We have to hit the target right away. If we fail, that imperial concubine will definitely bring us to ruin."
“…”
"So, we must find out what the emperor wants, and we must hit the mark right away."
When Fu'er heard this, she nodded at first, but then her brows furrowed.
He said, "What does the emperor want? I'm afraid what the emperor wants is peace and prosperity for the country and the people. We can't achieve this."
“…”
"As for the other things, if we can't even get the emperor, how can we possibly give it to him? This, this is impossible."
“…”
Hearing her say this, Shen Lianxiang turned her head and looked at her.
Although she said nothing, there was a shrewd glint in her eyes.

The snow continued to fall for the next few days.
The entire palace, and even the entire capital city, were covered in white snow, turning it into a crystal world of pink and white.
Zhu Feng was wearing a thick wind cloak and stepping on the thick snow. When he reached the door of the palace step by step, he heard the cheerful laughter of children coming from inside.
I was originally in a somewhat depressed mood due to handling government affairs, but the moment I heard that laughter, the gloom was swept away.
A smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
She gathered her clothes and walked in.
As soon as he saw the situation in front of him, he immediately became furious.
"What are you doing!"
