He thought that Consort Shu was just a bit spoiled and didn't have any bad intentions.
But he was wrong. How could there not be women inside the palace walls?
Jun Mochen entered Chuxiu Palace and accepted Consort Shu's greetings without hesitation, but hesitated to say that he was exempt from the formalities.
"Your Majesty, I..." Consort Shu looked very aggrieved.
"Oh, I forgot. Get up." Jun Mochen merely glanced at her, showing no emotion whatsoever. "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
"My heart aches," said Consort Shu, clutching her chest.
Jun Mochen called out loudly through the palace gate, "Summon the Imperial Physician."
Consort Shu quickly stopped her, saying, "I feel much better with Your Majesty here."
"Oh, that's good." With that, Jun Mochen walked away without looking back.
Consort Shu was left sitting on the ground, looking utterly weak and helpless.
...
Jun Mochen was thinking about planting a spy in the Sixth Prince's mansion, but he didn't know what identity to use.
The Sixth Prince, Jun Moyao, is not interested in women, and has had no female servants serving him all these years. It seems that a male servant must be infiltrated, but he must discover this male servant himself and bring him into the mansion...
Just half a month later, an ordinary-looking male servant appeared in the Sixth Prince's mansion.
However, according to the scouts, it seems that Jun Moyao and Ning Luo did not consummate their marriage?
Jun Mochen made up his mind and went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.
For the past two weeks, Jun Mochen has rarely entered the inner palace, and the few times he did enter, he came to Yuyu Palace.
The other two concubines in the harem began to feel dissatisfied and temporarily joined forces, seemingly to harm Su Chen.
After Ningwu reminded her, Su Chen simply didn't leave Yuyu Palace for the past two days, just to avoid running into those two women.
However, some things cannot be solved by simply staying inside the palace gates.
On the second night that Jun Mochen stayed at Yuyu Palace, Consort Duan smashed a pot of flowers with her bare hands.
Consort Duan went to find Consort Shu first, but Consort Shu avoided her, seemingly unwilling to take the lead.
Consort Duan had no choice but to take matters into her own hands. She put on what she considered her most stylish makeup and, accompanied by her maid, carried her skirt to the Jade Feather Palace.
Unexpectedly, they were stopped at the door by the palace servants.
"Who do you think you are, daring to stop Consort Duan?" shouted the maid beside Consort Duan.
"Well... His Majesty has decreed that no one other than a member of the Jade Feather Palace is allowed to enter except for him," the eunuch guarding the gate said apologetically.
Consort Duan wanted to lash out, but the eunuch looked familiar, as if she had seen him before by His Majesty's side, so she accepted it, stopped the maid, and thought there would be plenty of time in the future.
Consort Duan, supported by her maid, had only taken a few steps when she was turned back by the eunuch who had blocked the door earlier. "Consort Duan, my lady requests your presence."
"Aren't you hiding from them? Why did you let the most cunning one in?" Ningwu asked, puzzled.
Su Chen took a bite of chestnut cake. "We'll have to face this sooner or later. Since she came early, she can die and be reborn sooner." She seemed quite indifferent.
Consort Duan was furious when she saw Su Chen, who had become even more plump in the palace.
It's only been half a month since we last met, and Consort Chen has gotten fairer, her figure is better, and she looks more energetic. But what about her? She waits for His Majesty every night, but he hasn't come. Instead, she's developed dark circles under her eyes and fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
Consort Duan suppressed her resentment and forced a smile, "I heard the flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom these days. Consort Chen, you must be bored in the palace, right? Come with me to admire the flowers."
Su Chen put down the pastries in her hand. "Okay, okay."
Upon arriving at the pond in the Imperial Garden, Su Chen sensed something was amiss, and the look in Consort Duan's eyes confirmed her suspicions.
Su Chen chuckled to herself: It seems I'll be experiencing one of the classic elements of many palace dramas today!
