Ye Qianqian didn't get up until very late.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The Emperor's figure has disappeared.
Ye Qianqian scratched her head.
Where has my dear father gone?!
[By the way, I heard Consort Lan say yesterday that she wanted to use osmanthus cake to create a chance encounter with the Emperor!]
[That's interesting. I wonder if Lan Changzai succeeded!]
Then Ye Qianqian prepared to go to Chuxiu Palace.
When passing through the Imperial Garden.
Ye Qianqian saw that Guo Cui, a palace maid beside Consort Lan, was eavesdropping on Xu Qingzhi and Consort Jin's conversation.
Ye Qianqian stopped.
I also secretly listened in.
Xu Qingzhi said, "Three new people have entered the palace. I didn't expect that Consort Lü would be so foolish as to be banished to the Cold Palace by the Emperor on her very first day in the palace."
Consort Jin nodded.
“Every woman who enters the palace dreams of the Emperor’s favor. However, there are just too many women in the palace, and very few are truly appreciated by the Emperor. If they don’t find a way to attract the Emperor’s attention, they can only wither away in the harem.”
"Sister, I'm quite curious, back then, if you hadn't been from the Xu family, would you have attracted the Emperor's attention?"
Xu Qingzhi smiled.
"The Emperor liked me not only because I was a daughter of the Xu family, but also because I had a heroic spirit that the women in the harem did not have."
"Most women are confined within a framework of family rules, possessing only the virtues of gentleness and virtue, but lacking a certain heroic spirit. Naturally, my ability to be as capable as men makes me stand out among these women, which naturally attracted the Emperor's attention."
Consort Jin nodded.
"I've heard that among the newcomers to the palace, Consort Lan is also skilled in martial arts. I wonder if the Emperor will be attracted to her heroic spirit."
Xu Qingzhi smiled.
Whether she can catch the emperor's eye depends on her abilities.
"If she is smart, she shouldn't act like those women who fight over a man. Instead, she should show her true self. Perhaps then she can win the Emperor's favor."
After hearing this, Guo Cui...
He immediately turned and left.
Caiyue said to Xu Qingzhi.
"Your Majesty, the palace maid who was with Consort Lan left after hearing this."
Xu Qingzhi nodded.
"If Consort Lan is truly intelligent, she will have taken my words to heart."
"Then she will naturally have a place among the women in the harem. If she still tries to use those old tricks to win the emperor's favor, her fate may not be much better than that of Consort Lü."
"I also hope that there is a clever concubine by the Emperor's side to bear children for him. If there isn't, then the princes and Princess Qianqian are enough."
Ye Qianqian flashed and flew to Chuxiu Palace.
I saw that Lan Changzai was making osmanthus cakes.
[That's strange, didn't she say she was going to create a chance encounter at noon today? Why is she still busy like this!]
"That's what the palace maid said."
"Your Highness, I heard that His Majesty had lunch in the Liuli Palace today and did not go to the Imperial Noble Consort's place."
Lan Changzai shrugged and said.
"Isn't that perfect? The Emperor might go to Huafeng Palace tonight."
The palace maid thought for a moment.
"Your Highness, why don't you think the Emperor comes to Chuxiu Palace?"
"There are two new ladies in Chuxiu Palace. Doesn't the Emperor want something new?"
Lan Changzai pursed his lips.
"You're asking me? I'd like to ask the Emperor!"
"I'm also curious, why does the Emperor refuse to see the new concubines and insist on seeing the Imperial Noble Consort and Consort Jin? They are both veterans in the palace. Doesn't the Emperor get tired of seeing them?"
"Or perhaps, the Imperial Noble Consort and Consort Jin have some way of seducing the Emperor, making him unable to tire of looking at them!"
The palace maid thought for a moment.
"Could it be because the Imperial Noble Consort has a prince, while Consort Jin has a only princess?"
Lan Changzai thought for a moment.
"Perhaps! After entering the palace, I heard people say that some concubines wanted to emulate Consort Jin and get pregnant with a princess so that they could enjoy the emperor's favor after giving birth to the princess! Unfortunately, they all failed and their fates were very tragic."
"I think I should avoid repeating the same mistakes. Instead, I should use the simplest method to make the Emperor remember me."
Guo Cui walked in.
She told Lan Changzai everything she had overheard in the Imperial Garden.
Guo Cui took this opportunity to point out her thoughts.
"My lady, this servant thinks that the Imperial Noble Consort's method is feasible."
"With your martial arts skills, Your Highness, among so many delicate concubines, is that not enough to attract the Emperor?"
"When the emperor has seen too many well-behaved and gentle women, women who are just as capable as men are more likely to attract him."
Lan Changzai said.
"But there has to be an opportunity for that!"
Guo Cui immediately said.
"Your Majesty, you spend most of your time in the Imperial Garden, which is a place you frequent in the palace every day."
Lan Changzai thought for a moment.
"So, if I go to the Imperial Garden to practice swordsmanship, and the Emperor happens to see me passing by, will he be captivated by me?"
Guo Cui nodded immediately.
"Definitely. At least among these concubines, only the Imperial Noble Consort knows martial arts. It's just that the Imperial Noble Consort is getting old! The Emperor has grown tired of her martial arts skills and would prefer younger and more energetic concubines."
Lan Changzai thought for a moment.
"In that case, I can indeed use this trick to attract the Emperor."
The palace maids who were passing by heard what they were saying.
He immediately went back and told Zisheng.
Zi Sheng frowned after hearing this.
"Among the women in this harem, only the Imperial Noble Consort possesses a heroic spirit. It's not unreasonable for Consort Lan to try to attract the Emperor in this way!"
The palace maid immediately spoke.
"Then, Your Highness, what method should you use to deal with this? You can't really let Consort Lan attract the Emperor's attention; that would be extremely disadvantageous for you!"
Zi Sheng thought for a moment.
{According to the original plot, Consort Lan was ultimately sentenced to death by the Emperor!}
{Because Consort Lan used spices to vie for the Emperor's favor in her later years, the Emperor was furious when he discovered it!}
{But I don't recall Consort Lan using force to distract the Emperor!}
{What's going on here? Why is the plot taking a different turn here?}
{I feel like I haven't been very effective since my rebirth; I haven't played a crucial role in some important situations.}
{I originally thought that after my rebirth, the Emperor would like me, but unexpectedly, he still ignores me completely. He came to Chuxiu Palace yesterday, and hasn't even thought to ask about me since.}
{I used to hear storytellers on the street say that some people were reborn, and their lives were completely different from before. They underwent a complete transformation and reached a pinnacle of life unlike anything they had before.}
{It feels different when I switch to this side.}
