Chapter 1939: Consort Xian
Later, Zhao Xu became the emperor, and Fu Wanhui naturally became the mother of the nation. Fu Wanhui’s life should have been spent managing the harem for the emperor. Her role was to not be jealous, not compete for favor, and to give birth to an heir. From time to time, she would also take action to keep the concubines in line.
However, an unexpected variable showed up, which was this Consort Xian. This Consort Xian didn’t start off being Consort Xian. At first, she was just a concubine in the Cold Palace.
Furthermore, she was a concubine that hadn’t even seen the emperor before. She had been chosen to enter the palace and was bestowed the title of selected lady with only a rank of nine. It was the lowest ranking. And then she dumbly offended Consort Zhuang.
Consort Zhuang then directly sent her to stay in the Cold Palace.
Afterwards, a white collared worker from the modern era, Zhou Ningning, transmigrated into this concubine’s body. When she woke up, a favored concubine system had attached itself to her.
The favored concubine system’s goal was to make her obtain the emperor’s favor.
Every once in a while, it would give her a task such as achieving a chance encounter with the emperor. If the female lead accomplished it, there would be a reward.
For example, it would reward her with a graceful waist.
Every time the favored concubine system gave a task, Zhou Ningning had to complete it.
Zhou Ningning rather liked this game. She had been a white collared worker. She didn’t love the emperor at all and only thought of him as her boss.
With the help of the system, Zhou Ningning gradually reached the pinnacle of life. She was beautiful like a celestial that had descended to the mortal realm, causing all the other beauties in the harem to lose color. She alone obtained all of the emperor’s love.
The emperor had such a deep-rooted love for her, he divorced his legal wife and all his concubines.
Some of the women that were sent back to their families directly hanged themselves in order to avoid damaging the family reputation.
The person in the most awkward situation was none other than Fu Wanhui, the legal wife. She could be said to be the first mother of the nation to be divorced and sent home in all of Great Gan Dynasty’s history. The history books didn’t know how to even write about her.
After receiving the storyline, Ning Shu expressed that lust truly made one lose their head. People who encountered love seemed to lose all of their brain cells to the point that their brains seemed to be just there for decoration.
Didn’t those ministers have any objections?
However, Zhao Xu had probably just suppressed all their objections.
Ning Shu said to 2333, “This is the favored concubine system you were talking about, right? Is it the same as that star system? You’re gonna snatch it once the system leaves its host?”
“That’s right. Ning Shu, ganbatte!” 2333 cheered Ning Shu on.
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. 2333 was only being enthusiastic because this was related to his interests.
“Let’s enter the task,” said Ning Shu.
“Alright.”
Ning Shu felt a moment of dizziness, then felt the sensation of her soul merging with the body. Afterwards, she heard a woman’s clear, crisp voice by her ear. “Your Majesty, this consort isn’t trying to complain about that little selected lady. However, she had climbed onto the dragon bed without even a formal selection of her tablet, indicating for her to attend to the emperor for the night. Her behavior simply shows no respect for you!”
Ning Shu opened her eyes. Her hand was currently supporting her forehead and at this point, was starting to get a little sore.
She looked towards the consort who was speaking. It was Consort Zhuang. Consort Zhuang had a flamboyant personality, so she was dressed in brightly colored clothes that made her look captivating.
She was currently complaining to her. Back then, it was Consort Zhuang who had sent Zhou Ningning into the Cold Palace. Now that Zhou Ningning had successfully attended to the emperor, Consort Zhuang had gained an additional enemy.
That was why she was in a rush to report this to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu rolled out her arm as she said, “It’s fine as long as the emperor likes her. All the women in this inner palace were prepared for the emperor. The ceremonies are not that important.”
