Chapter 2: A Prostitute from a Lowly Family



"Host, the time has come. The Emperor will soon go to the Imperial Garden. It's just the right time for you to go there."

Chen Miaoyi took Bai Zhi and walked towards the Imperial Garden. It was only June, and the temperature was just right, neither too cold nor too hot.

"System, the Imperial Garden is so big? Where can I meet him by chance?"

"Host, you need to pay more."

…………

"Only when I'm well can you be well. Only when I'm promoted can I buy props from you and complete the mission sooner!

Do you still want to complete the task? Do you want to become the best system?

We have to collect this little bit of money. We all prosper together and suffer together!"

The system crackled with electricity. "Alright then... completing the mission is the most important thing. The Emperor will go to the northwest corner."

If you don’t spend money, you earn money!

Chen Miaoyi waved a round fan and walked towards the northwest corner. It was quite beautiful when the breeze blew.

"Baizhi, look, there are fireflies!"

Chen Miaoyi's voice was a little loud, how could she attract the emperor's attention?

Fireflies flickered and flew among the flowers.

The girl's graceful and agile figure swayed among the flowers like a nimble cat.

From time to time, her laughter could be heard, as sweet as a silver bell.

"Host, host, the emperor is coming, the emperor is coming, please pay attention, please pay attention!"

The system was yelling urgently, and Chen Miaoyi temporarily blocked it because it was too noisy.

The emperor followed the sound and saw a picture of a beautiful woman chasing fireflies. The light of the lantern shone on her, making her look even more graceful.

A light silk fan catches fireflies.

"Which palace are you from?"

Chen Miaoyi turned around when she heard the voice, and after seeing who was coming, she quickly knelt down.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor. I am from the Acacia Palace."

She slowly raised her eyes, meeting his gaze timidly and carefully.

Concubine? Only his concubines would call themselves concubines, although I can't remember which one it was.

"Your Majesty. This is Chen Da Ying from Xiangsi Palace." The eunuch Zhonglu said with a discerning look.

"Wake up, what's your name?"

"Chen Miaoyi, the indescribable beauty, the perfect match for any family."

Looking at a beauty under the lamp, the more you look, the more energetic she becomes.

The emperor was tempted, but he hated it most when someone asked about his whereabouts and set up an encounter, as that would make him look stupid.

"Wang Zhonglu?" The emperor glared at him.

Eunuch Zhonglu shrank his head and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't..."

"Why did you come to the Imperial Garden at night? Isn't it better to see the scenery of the Imperial Garden during the day?"

A smile spread across Chen Miaoyi's pretty face, "Your Majesty, there are fireflies at night."

After she finished speaking, she spread out her hand, and a small glowing insect flew out from her palm.

Many years later, when the emperor recalled the scene when they first met, he still found her so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

The emperor had no expression on his face, but he was quite satisfied with this young concubine in his heart.

"Well, go back to the palace early."

After saying this, he left with a group of servants.

this?

Chen Miaoyi touched her cheek. He didn't look down on her, did he? He was leaving now?

"Master, let's go back quickly. There are mosquitoes here." Bai Zhi helped her up. Although the master knew that competing for favor was a good thing, she couldn't let the mosquitoes bite her and disfigure her.

Not long after returning to Xiangsi Palace, someone came to report the news.

"Mr. Chen, the Emperor has called your name today. Would you like me to help you bathe?"

Bai Zhi looked at her in surprise, with an expression as if she didn't know what to do.

Chen Miaoyi nodded and let several maids take her to take a bath.

After taking a bath, she was dressed in a revealing gauze dress and then carried to the Yangxin Palace in a sedan chair.

Chen Miaoyi felt relieved that she didn't have to roll up her bedding and have the eunuchs carry her around. That would have been too uncomfortable.

It's like lifting a corpse.

Concubines of lower rank did not have the right to choose what to wear and had to follow all the rules.

The emperor was still reviewing memorials. After Chen Miaoyi was brought into the inner hall of the Yangxin Palace, she lay alone on the bed waiting.

She simply got up and walked around. The Yangxin Palace was much better than where she lived. It was big and cool. It was so hot in the summer that she didn't even need ice in the room she had promised to stay in.

"Why are you running around?"

The sudden voice frightened her and when she turned around, she saw that the emperor had arrived.

"Your Majesty, I have never seen such a beautiful palace!"

Chen Miaoyi looked up at him. The emperor was really good-looking, with a handsome face and an elegant demeanor.

In the emperor's eyes, her eyes were like autumn water.

He checked and found out that the father of this young concubine was only an eighth-rank official, and he participated in the selection just because he was of the right age.

This is good, this kind of talent is safe.

"Sleep well."

The emperor's mind was in turmoil, but he showed no emotion on his face. He hugged Chen Miaoyi and fell on the bed.

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…”

"Shh, don't talk." The emperor lowered his head to see her small face, which was as big as a palm, and she looked quite confused.

I laughed in my heart. Have I forgotten everything that Nanny taught me?

He lowered his head and covered her mouth, preventing her from speaking.

He soon realized that not only had she not forgotten what Madam taught her, she had even been able to apply it to other situations.

A night of ups and downs.

In the last few seconds of her sleep, exhausted Chen Miaoyi was thinking, "Great! I can finally advance to a higher rank! I can claim my reward!"

The next day, Chen Miaoyi dragged her sore body back to the palace in a sedan chair, feeling as if she had been run over by a car.

It’s not that she can’t do it, it’s that this young body can’t do it!

He was too young, and met such an emperor who didn't even allow him to call out to him.

There is someone to serve you when you go to the emperor's bedchamber, but no one will take care of you when you come back.

Bai Zhi supported the frail Chen Miaoyi with concern, "Master, you......"

I’ve suffered so much, I’ve suffered so much for my future!

"Hurry, help me take a bath. I have to go to the palace of the virtuous concubine later."

There is no empress in this dynasty, and there are only two princesses in the palace. The emperor does not like to be controlled by others, so he will not accept any recommendation for an empress.

The virtuous concubine is an old lady in the mansion. She used to be a concubine, but now she has the highest position in the palace.

Bai Zhi supported Chen Miaoyi, scrubbed her back and combed her hair.

"Master...why, why is this happening? Did you go to a fight?"

Bai Zhi was still a little girl, and she made Chen Miaoyi burst out laughing.

"Yes, I went to fight with the emperor."

No matter how much she felt sorry for Chen Miaoyi, she didn't dare say anything disrespectful. There were so many people in the palace and so many eyes watching.

“The imperial edict has arrived!

By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims:

"Mrs. Chen, the concubine of Xiangsi Palace, is virtuous, wise, elegant, handsome, respectful, and of pure and graceful appearance. She has obeyed the Holy Spirit's command and accepted my favor. She has been honored by the Holy Spirit and has been promoted to a permanent position."

Chen Miaoyi quickly knelt down to express her gratitude. She was not as lucky as those heroines who would have a eunuch come to announce the emperor's decree after she had sex with the emperor.

"This is a gift from the Emperor."

Chen Miaoyi winked and Bai Zhi stuffed a purse into the hand of the eunuch who was announcing the decree. She felt distressed because her master didn't have much money.

After seeing everyone off, the master and servant of Xiangsi Palace gathered together.
