"I'm in a slightly higher position now. How's your progress?"
Hou Mengmeng had been running into him in the back garden every day for the past few days. She would hold the kite in her hand but not fly it, just watching and waiting. Finally, she got her chance and successfully leveled up. On the other hand, Wang Wu found a highly respected eunuch among the eunuchs and made him his godfather.
Wang Wu's expression wasn't good. "It's alright."
He had tried every possible method these past few days. It was difficult for him to climb the ranks on his own. People dumped all the dirty and hard work on him, and he had no chance to see the King of Korea. In the end, he had no choice but to find himself a "godfather".
Hou Mengmeng discovered that reality was much more difficult than the novel, and her dream of becoming a queen seemed so far away and unattainable. However, she believed that she could definitely do it.
Hou Mengmeng cheered herself up in her heart. Lu He was eliminated first. She wondered how he was doing now. Maybe he was drinking milk tea and eating barbecue skewers.
She smacked her lips; she hadn't had milk tea or barbecue for days. She used to think it was because she was too lowly and had no say in ordering, but now that she had a little bit of say, she discovered that there was no beef or lamb, only pork, and seafood was also scarce.
At first, Hou Mengmeng thought the kitchen was trying to give her, the newly promoted concubine, a hard time, and even began to suspect that someone was secretly trying to trip her up. But later she realized that she was overthinking it; cattle and sheep are livestock, not meat. Moreover, these concubines in the harem were nothing like those portrayed in TV dramas. They all sought power and status from the imperial court, and didn't even bother with the harem.
Furthermore, she discovered that some of the concubines seemed to have gigolos. Heaven knows, she thought she was going to be eliminated, but it turned out nothing happened. She thought she had hidden herself well, but that wasn't the case at all. People saw her, but didn't say a word, assuming she wouldn't dare to say anything.
At first, she didn't understand, but later she realized that the noble families the king married were not just wives, but powerful figures. Even if the king found out, he had to turn a blind eye and clean up their messes, for fear that a mishandling of the situation would cause turmoil in the court.
It's pitiful that she's just a lowly concubine; who knows when she'll finally get ahead.
