Yuan Ling was also very disappointed, and his gaze towards Ning Yixuan was tinged with disgust.
“I do not care whether my concubines are talented or not, but stealing other people’s poetry collections is plagiarism. Such character worries me. Consort Chen is demoted to a lower-ranking concubine and confined to the Cold Palace from now on.”
In just one morning, Consort Chen was promoted to the rank of Lady-in-Waiting. This news spread like wildfire, flying out of the palace and reaching the ears of the Dowager Consort's niece, Cheng Yan.
They even know exactly what happened.
"Miss, I heard that Consort Chen is shameless. She actually took your poetry collection and claimed it as her own."
Fortunately, His Majesty is discerning and has stood up for you.
Hearing this, Cheng Yan frowned. "Don't talk nonsense."
Cheng Yan always knew that coming to ancient times meant abiding by the rules. A lifelong monogamous relationship was a luxury. If she, a woman, wanted to live well, she had to be of use.
Only if she had the ability would her mother not marry her off casually. So she began to show her talent from a young age, and she studied music, chess, calligraphy and painting seriously. As for poetry, it was something that proved that she was a talented woman.
Now everyone knows that the Cheng family has a daughter named Cheng Yan, who is exceptionally talented and beautiful.
Her father and grandmother hoped that she could marry a prince, so that she could become empress and, like her aunt, become empress dowager.
Yes, in their hearts, their aunt was the Empress Dowager, not a concubine.
Their idea was to marry the 12th prince, who was the emperor's younger brother. This purpose was so obvious that it frightened her.
She never thought the emperor was a fool; if he were a fool, he wouldn't have become emperor.
Their plan is unlikely to succeed.
Now that the talent show is about to start, she has to make a choice quickly: follow the arrangements, or... take a gamble.
...
Mo Yan let the news spread, but Cheng Yan didn't take any action. It seems this one is quite interesting.
Mo Yan didn't care. Ning Yixuan had already been dealt with. What trouble could an idiot cause? The moment she arrived here, the world's fortune couldn't flow to her. So naturally, her idiocy wouldn't affect others.
It's actually quite easy to understand. With Mo Yan gone, the world's fortune rests on Ning Yixuan's shoulders. No matter what she says, people will subconsciously feel that it's right.
This is the influence of luck. Your liking for someone will also increase. To put it bluntly, if she says that poop is edible, you can subconsciously believe her. This is the consequence of having your luck disrupted.
Mo Yan's arrival minimized the impact on everyone, which is why Ning Yixuan acted like a complete idiot.
No, she was brain-dead to begin with, but before everyone thought everything she did was novel, now she's just weird and sick.
The talent show came quickly, and five hundred people made it to the preliminary round. If any of these five hundred people couldn't stay, they could go home and remarry.
If you make it to the preliminary selection, you must have some outstanding qualities, and your marriage prospects will be much better after you get out.
The Imperial Concubine Dowager also came out today. Since she is not the Empress Dowager, she has to do her best to make herself look like the Empress Dowager. Her clothes are all of the finest quality, and she has many people serving her.
Upon arrival, she sat directly next to Mo Yan. Mo Yan rose and bowed slightly, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."
The Empress Dowager's face stiffened. This Empress didn't even call her Mother!
"Greetings, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine."
The other concubines immediately bowed, which pleased the Dowager Consort.
"No need for formalities. I haven't been feeling well and haven't been out and about lately. It's truly a joyous occasion to find that the Empress has recovered."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The selection of candidates may begin."
The Empress Dowager: "..."
