The Queen Mother put down the teacup in her hand and squinted her eyes. "What is the Queen worried about?"
The queen frowned slightly and spoke softly,
"Your Majesty, you know me well. I have known the duties of a queen since the first day I became one. I should manage the affairs of the harem for the emperor and control the words and actions of the sisters in the harem."
"The Emperor likes Concubine Su and has doted on her for a few more days. This is not a big deal, but as a concubine in the harem, I should advise the Emperor not to indulge in pleasure and interfere with state affairs. Mother, do you think my thoughts are correct?"
The Queen Mother's expression remained unchanged. She still squinted her eyes and listened to the Queen's words, nodding slightly.
Seeing that the Queen Mother agreed with her idea, the Queen continued:
"I've sent someone to investigate Concubine Su. She's a good person. She was originally a maid in the flower room, doing rough work. She's said to be quiet, hardworking, and capable. I think that since Sister Su was born a maid, she's familiar with the duties of a slave, but doesn't know the rules of a concubine."
Her eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up into a virtuous and gentle smile.
"I think it's time for Sister Su to learn the rules of being a concubine in the harem, so she doesn't do anything inappropriate and bear the bad reputation of being a seductive concubine who seduces the master for no reason."
The Queen Mother heard this and lowered her eyes in deep thought.
"What the Queen said makes sense. After all, she isn't from an aristocratic family, so she's a bit unruly. We should send someone to teach her a lesson."
A dark light flashed in the Queen's eyes, and she continued:
"Originally, I should have personally taught the concubines, but the New Year is just a month away, and I'm busy with the year-end palace banquet and can't get away."
"Among the concubines in the harem, only the Imperial Concubine, the Rong Concubine, and the Pure Concubine have a higher rank than Sister Su. The others are all talented ladies or maids..."
"I'm thinking that Concubine Chun is weak, and Concubine Rong needs to help me with harem affairs. Why not let Concubine Gui personally teach Sister Su?"
The Queen Mother was thoughtful, "Can the Imperial Concubine be taught well?"
The imperial concubine herself is spoiled and unruly, how can she teach others?
The Queen certainly understood the Queen Mother's thoughts, and she said softly:
"Although the Imperial Concubine is a bit spoiled on a daily basis, she is, after all, from an aristocratic family. She has been in the palace for a year and is well aware of the duties and rules of being a concubine. In the past, when she was in favor, the Emperor never missed a court session, no matter how much he favored her. I think it was because of the Imperial Concubine's good advice."
"Both the Imperial Concubine and Lady Su are greatly favored by the Emperor. It would be most appropriate for the Imperial Concubine to teach Lady Su the proper manners and the art of exhortation. What do you think, Mother?"
The Queen Mother still squinted her eyes and put on a kind smile.
"You are the Queen, so you can make your own decision. I have no objection. Send someone to tell the Imperial Concubine. I think the Imperial Concubine will not refuse."
The queen lowered her eyes in satisfaction, her long eyelashes hiding the brilliance in her eyes.
The Queen achieved her goal and sat with the Queen Mother for a while before getting up and returning to the palace.
After she left, Aunt Qiao, who was beside the Queen Mother, peeled an orange for her while whispering, "The Queen Mother said she wasn't jealous, but when Concubine Su became favored, she couldn't help herself."
The Queen Mother waved to her, picked up the teacup, her eyes were calm and distant.
"It's human nature. Besides, this time the emperor went too far. He just followed his own whim, not considering the lives of others. That little maid received the emperor's unique favor right from the moment she arrived. She deserves to suffer."

Overall, Leng Hong was a diligent emperor.
This time he decided to indulge himself, and he only did so for the whole morning.
At noon, he got up, washed up briefly, and prepared to go to the Qinzheng Hall to summon ministers to handle government affairs.
Leng Hong is indeed the son of luck in this world. From yesterday evening to today noon, he only rested for an hour, but there was no sign of fatigue on his face. Instead, he looked energetic and full of food.
But Su Wanti was too tired to get up. She just wanted to curl up in the quilt and sleep soundly.
Before leaving, Leng Hong walked to the bedside with a smile, whispered in Su Wanti's ear, and said in a hoarse voice:
"I'll let you lie down the whole time this time. Aren't you tired?"
He looked at the woman's soft and gentle face, touched it, and said, "Have a good sleep, we will continue tonight."
Hearing this, Su Wanti was so angry that her teeth were itching.
She had been lying down the whole morning, but her body was shaking constantly and she was being tossed over and over again. How could she not be tired?
"Then it's the emperor's turn to lie down tonight and see if he's tired." She muttered softly, and as soon as she said it, she realized something was wrong.
This doesn't seem to express her true intention very well -
She was angry and embarrassed, pursed her lips, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
When these words fell into Leng Hong's ears, they lost their original meaning and became naked seduction.
Leng Hong just tasted meat for the first time, and a light sentence made him angry again.
The dark color in his eyes rose again, and he leaned over and bit Su Wanti's earlobe.
He gnashed his teeth gently until he heard a soft, shallow, suppressed cry, and then he let go with satisfaction.
"You little rascal, you've seduced me again. When I'm done with my work, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
Su Wanti got up only after Leng Hong left. With the help of the palace maids, she simply washed and had some lunch before going to sleep.
She slept for two full hours. She slept soundly, her strength restored, and her energy replenished. Then she woke up slowly and called the system to do something.
"92, come out. I have something I need to understand clearly."
[Host, this system is always here, just ask! ]
"Now it seems that Leng Hong is fine. He is young, vigorous, and strong. He is not cold and apathetic, and he has not been poisoned. How could he become a person without an heir who needs to be saved?"
[Host, this is his situation. The original owner was his destined daughter, and only she could bear him a child. However, she was framed and then frightened to death by him. Without her, no one can bear him a child, and he will be extinct in this lifetime.]
Su Wanti stroked her chin.
"So that's the setup... Then my mission this time is relatively simple. I just need to make sure I stay alive."
[Host, this system will tell you another secret. The target of this mission, Leng Hong, has never favored any other concubines. Even his wedding night was spent in the back garden, watching wild beasts and practicing swordsmanship. You are his first.]
Su Wanti narrowed her eyes, recalled what happened last night, and murmured:
"No wonder his first time was so short. I underestimated him and thought he wasn't up to the task... I was even thinking about buying him some medicine to improve his condition..."
But the second time overturned her initial judgment. Her judgment was wrong. He was not incapable.
Su Wanti thought for a moment and came up with a very important question, "I am the first and only one favored by him. The concubines in the harem must hate me to death, right?"
The system answered loudly,
[It's like this. According to this system's detection, none of the concubines in the harem like you. I guess your future will be difficult. Now, let me introduce you to the situation in Leng Hong's harem!]
