Chapter 779 The Palace Maid's Revenge 1
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The emperor pressed Jiang Chunxi's head against his chest again, "Don't worry! As long as I am here, no one will hurt you. When you reach the age of marriage, I will make you the imperial concubine. Let's see who dares to look down on you."
Another reason why the Emperor dealt with Concubine Jin so cleanly and efficiently today was to make an example of her and make some people put away their vicious thoughts.
If you want to touch Chunxi, you must be prepared to be dealt with by him. I think the incident with Concubine Jin should serve as a warning to the women in the harem, so that they should not have any thoughts that they shouldn't have.
After all, women as stupid as Concubine Jin are rare. Anyone with a bit of brains who knew what happened today would not dare to harbor any malicious thoughts towards Chunxi.
"Chen Fei," Jiang Chunxi said in surprise, "But I am just a palace maid. The emperor immediately named me Chen Fei. The concubines in the harem will probably be dissatisfied."
"And the ministers in the court will definitely oppose it," Jiang Chunxi said in a muffled voice, "It's because my family background is too low. The emperor has given me such supreme honor. The ministers in the court must think that I am seducing the emperor. They are lucky if they don't want to get rid of me as soon as possible. How can they agree to the emperor's appointment of me as the imperial concubine?"
"And the most important thing is that I haven't decided whether to become your concubine yet. The emperor didn't even ask for my opinion, but made the decision without authorization. Why does this make me feel so uncomfortable? I feel like the emperor doesn't respect me at all."
So pretentious.
But who can blame the emperor in this world for falling for her tricks? So Jiang Chunxi was naturally as hypocritical as she could be.
"Why, you don't want to be my concubine, do you really want to marry someone else?" The emperor said helplessly and amusedly, "You conscienceless little girl, don't you know how I have treated you over the years? I still don't respect you. If I didn't respect you, I would have killed you long ago. Would I have waited for you to reach the age of marriage?"
As he spoke, the emperor put his arm around Jiang Chunxi's shoulders and patted her arm: "As for the matter of making you the Chen Consort, you don't have to worry at all. I am not the kind of incompetent emperor who needs the consent of the ministers even to make a concubine."
If it was the first two years after he ascended the throne, the emperor would not have made such grand statements, but now he has control over the entire court, and no one would dare to risk their life to tell him what to do.
"Your Majesty, you are so amazing," Jiang Chunxi raised her head and hugged the emperor's waist tightly with both hands, her eyes sparkling, "Why do I feel like I admire you so much now! You are really the most wise and powerful man I have ever seen."
Being looked at with such admiration by Jiang Chunxi, the emperor was naturally very pleased with himself: "You little heartless man, you have been by my side for so many years, and only today do you know how powerful I am."
Jiang Chunxi stuck out her tongue coquettishly: "Alright, alright, it's all my fault for not being able to see clearly these years, alright! Your Majesty, please stop making fun of me."
"That won't do," the emperor said sternly, "If you say something wrong, you must accept the punishment."
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor covered Jiang Chunxi's mouth.
At the same time, in the Queen Mother's Palace.
"Mother, I have no choice but to come to you," the Queen said to the Queen Mother very respectfully, "I think you should have heard about what happened in the Imperial Garden."
"I have always known that the emperor dotes on Miss Chunxi. This is nothing. As an emperor, the emperor has a woman he particularly likes. As the queen, I should be happy for the emperor."
"But if the emperor is crazy about a woman, then I, the queen, cannot remain silent. The emperor actually sent secret guards to protect Miss Chunxi. This is really ridiculous. The royal secret guards are mainly to protect the emperor. How can they protect a woman who was born a palace maid?"
"Miss Chunxi hasn't even become a concubine yet, but the emperor has already lost his temper in his favor towards her. If she becomes a concubine, who knows what more ridiculous things the emperor will do for her. So I would like to ask the queen mother..."
"Queen," the Queen Mother interrupted the Queen, "it has been a long time since anyone dared to use me as a knife, but the Queen is very brave."
"I deserve to die," the queen knelt down on the ground in fear. "Mother, I know that my little thoughts cannot be hidden from your eyes, but if the emperor listens to my words, I dare not trouble you."
"Mother," the Queen's eyes welled up, "I really care about the Emperor and am worried about him! As the ruler of a country, how can the Emperor lose his mind because of a woman? Does Mother want to see Miss Chunxi make the Emperor do even more ridiculous things in the future?"
"I watched Chunxi grow up, and I know her character very well," the Queen Mother said coldly, "Moreover, the Emperor is my son. Is there anyone who knows better than me what kind of person my son is?"
"Isn't it just sending secret guards to protect Chunxi? What's the big deal? How come the Queen says that the Emperor is ridiculous?" The Queen Mother said with a mocking expression, "Besides, I already knew about this. If the Queen says that the Emperor is ridiculous, then I am ridiculous in the eyes of the Queen."
"Empress!" the Queen Mother said in a deep voice, "I know your little thoughts. You just can't stand the emperor having someone he likes by his side. You're afraid that Chunxi, that girl, will threaten your position in the future."
"Let's not talk about the fact that the emperor will not depose the queen just because he favors a woman. You still don't have any children, but you can't wait to get rid of that girl Chunxi. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"
"You! The most urgent thing is to have a son by your side. Otherwise, if the Empress has no son, then no matter which prince inherits the throne in the future, it will be a threat to you. After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Two Empress Dowagers coexisting is not what the new emperor and his mother behind him want to see. I think the Queen should be very clear about this."
"So! I just can't understand why you would think about harming Chunxi instead of focusing on your offspring. Your brain is really wasted. I always thought that the queen was smart and insightful."
Jiang Chunxi never fails when she wants to please someone. After so many years of trying, the empress dowager has already spoiled her like her own sweetheart, so the queen's plan is bound to fail.
After all, compared to letting Jiang Chunxi leave the palace and get married, the empress dowager would rather see Chunxi become her son's concubine. In that case, her child could stay with her in the palace for a long time.
