Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 951: Palace Maids and Concubines 4

Of course, Concubine He was not defending Jiang Chunxi, but as the Empress said, Concubine Jiang was in the Empress's camp. If she was allowed to be bullied by Concubine De like this, it would be a disgrace to the Empress.

"I didn't realize when Concubine He and Noble Lady Jiang developed such a deep affection," Concubine De said sarcastically, looking at Concubine He. "I haven't even done anything yet, and Concubine He jumps out to defend Noble Lady Jiang. You say I'm targeting Noble Lady Jiang, then why don't you explain how I'm targeting Noble Lady Jiang?"

"If Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine insists on saying so, then I have no way to defend myself." Concubine He retorted sarcastically.

"Alright, everyone, cut the crap!" the Queen said sternly. She then looked at Consort De and said, "Consort De, I know full well whether Consort Jiang has learned the rules properly. I don't need you to remind me of this and try to interfere."

"I dare not." Defei said aggrievedly. No matter how much she disobeyed the queen, at least on the surface, Defei would not go against the queen.

"Lady Jiang," the Queen then looked at Jiang Chunxi, "Since you have served the Emperor, you must serve him well in the future and strive to conceive a heir as soon as possible."

"I will serve the Emperor well. As for bearing a prince, I'm afraid I won't be so fortunate," Jiang Chunxi stood up and replied to the Empress. "Before coming to pay my respects to the Empress, I just drank the contraceptive medicine the Emperor gave me. I think the Emperor doesn't want me to bear a prince, so please forgive me for not being able to give birth to a child for the Emperor."

In her previous life, the original owner did not dare to tell others about the contraceptive pills, for fear that others would look down on her even more. However, Jiang Chunxi did not have such concerns. As for whether the emperor would be angry, she was also concerned.

Haha! So what if I'm angry?

Not to mention that the emperor is definitely reluctant to punish her now, the emperor still needs to keep her to vindicate Concubine Jing, so even if the emperor is angry, he will not punish her.

As soon as Jiang Chunxi finished speaking, everyone looked at her with even more contempt, except for the Queen.

This is not to say that the Queen did not despise Jiang Chunxi, but the Queen was very dissatisfied with Jiang Chunxi for speaking so casually about the fact that the Emperor had given her the contraceptive medicine.

"Lady Jiang, even if the Emperor gave you contraceptive medicine, it was a gift to you. You told everyone that the Emperor gave you contraceptive medicine. Are you expressing your dissatisfaction with the Emperor?" The Queen said with a sullen face, looking at Jiang Chunxi:

"I dare not," Jiang Chunxi knelt down quickly and said, "I know that my status is low and I am not qualified to bear a dragon heir. I just answered the Queen's question and was only speaking the truth. I did not express any dissatisfaction with the Emperor's gift."

"It seems that Concubine Jiang is still self-aware," this was Concubine Li's sneer. "With your lowly body, you are indeed not qualified to bear a dragon heir. The emperor is truly wise to give you contraceptive medicine."

"What the Concubine Li said is true." Jiang Chunxi agreed calmly:

"Alas! It seems that even if this person of humble origin has the opportunity to ascend to high rank, he won't be able to keep his blessing," a voice from Concubine Li's camp was heard frequently. "But this is a good thing. It serves as a warning to the palace maids, lest they become too impatient and all dream of climbing onto the throne and becoming mistress."

"That's right," someone immediately echoed, "I wonder if Concubine Jiang is regretting it now. After all, if a woman can't have children, what hope is there for the rest of her life? The Emperor is truly cruel, severing Concubine Jiang's hopes so bluntly. I feel sorry for her, even I."

"Then would you like me to give you contraceptive medicine on behalf of the Emperor?" The Queen looked at the concubine who spoke with a cold gaze. "You don't think you can say anything about the Emperor. How dare you, a mere concubine, criticize the Emperor? Who gave you the guts?"

"I dare not." The concubine quickly stood up and knelt down.

"Hmph!" The Queen snorted coldly, but she didn't intend to keep arguing. "Alright, all of you kneel down!"

Jiang Chunxi stood up and bowed to the queen with everyone else, then left with everyone else, but she did not stay like she did the first time she paid her respects.

There is no such thing as a third time. When Jiang Chunxi asked the Queen to send her away for the third time, she did not stay after paying her respects.

After all, Jiang Chunxi didn't really want to follow the Queen, so how could she take the opportunity to break away from the Queen?

"Empress, it seems Concubine Jiang wants to break up with you!" Concubine He looked at the Empress and said, "Look at how decisive Concubine Jiang was when she left just now. Could it be that she is resentful of you and doesn't plan to follow you anymore?"

"Isn't this great?" This was Noble Lady Ruan's voice. "The Empress doesn't like Noble Lady Jiang Chun anyway. If Noble Lady Jiang could be tactful and not get too close to the Empress, it would be considered sensible of her."

"Haha! A newborn calf is truly fearless," this was Concubine Cui's voice. "If it weren't for the Empress's protection, Concubine Jiang would have been eaten alive by the concubines in the harem, such as Concubine De and Concubine Life. Without the Empress, Concubine Jiang would probably have died before she could sleep with anyone."

"But Concubine Jiang, not only did she not cherish the opportunity to serve the Queen faithfully, she even dared to jump off the ship that was the Queen herself."

"Your Highness," Concubine He looked at the Queen and said, "I think you should teach Concubine Jiang a lesson. Concubine Jiang is nothing. Even if you despise her, it is her blessing. But she actually dares to ignore you."

"She is so ignorant of her own limitations. If the Empress doesn't teach her a lesson, Concubine Jiang will..."

Concubine He was silenced by the Queen's cold gaze. She looked embarrassed and dared not say anything.

"Hepin is becoming more and more capable now. She even dares to order me to do things." The Queen looked at Hepin coldly and said:

"I dare not." Concubine He quickly knelt down to admit her mistake, not daring to make any excuses for herself.

"You wouldn't dare," the Queen sneered. "I think you're very brave. You even dare to use me as a pawn. Is there anything that you, Hepin, wouldn't dare to do?"

"Princess He, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. If you dare to be petty with me again, I will think you can't hold this position as a concubine anymore."

The Queen didn't take Jiang Chunxi seriously at all, so she naturally wouldn't take any of Jiang Chunxi's actions seriously. If she really targeted Jiang Chunxi, she would be overly respectful of her.

It was because of this that the Queen was so angry at this moment and dared to use her as a gun. It seemed that Concubine He had other thoughts!

"Empress, I will never dare to do that again. Please forgive me this time!" Concubine He was really scared now, but she still didn't dare to blame the Empress. Instead, she blamed everything on Jiang Chunxi.

The queen was too lazy to say anything more to Concubine He and the others, and waved her hand to let them leave.

At the same time, in the Emperor’s Chengde Palace.

As soon as the emperor came home from court, he asked Jiang Chunxi whether she had taken the contraceptive pills obediently.
